Chapter 289 Contracting Responsibility System (2)
Guo Dalu's contract responsibility system is to arouse the enthusiasm of the peasants and let them have a certain degree of autonomy in farming, but he has also learned the lessons of the household contract system in the 21 st century and is unwilling to divide the land too piecemeal.

In the same time and space, the peasants in the south of the Yangtze River had only one or two acres of land per household, which seriously restricted the centralized and large-scale operation, and trapped the laborers on the land, and when the migrant workers joined them, a large number of fields were abandoned.
The government has organized large grain growers to concentrate and recontract, but because the land is scattered in the hands of small households, every time they are reconcentrated, they are hurt and have constant disputes, and this cannot guarantee the enthusiasm of large grain growers, and small farmers feel that they have suffered losses.
On the map of acres of land hung out by Gou Buli, the divided land is not big or small, basically seventy or eighty acres large, and the largest is only about 100 acres, which is suitable for farmers to use animal power to cultivate in a row, and before Guo Dalu invented chemical fertilizers, pesticides and mechanical farm tools, he did not dare to take the liberty of centralizing the land.
A land of this size is just right for a real grain grower to stand out and stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers to the greatest extent. As for the rest of the peasants, some of them have become long-term workers, while others - the mines, workshops, construction sites and future cotton textile industry of Guo Dalu - are in short supply of labor.
To tell the truth, before Guo Dalu tossed out potatoes and cotton, he didn't dare to toss like this, because this would lead to a considerable number of peasants losing their land, no potatoes to lower the price of grain, no labor-intensive industry like cotton spinning industry to resettle workers, many landless peasants will starve to death, then Guo Dalu is not doing merit and accumulating great virtue, but lack of virtue to go home, I don't know how much sin he has to bear.
Although it is said that the "liberation" of peasants from the land and their investment in industry is an inevitable process of social development, Guo Dalu still wants to make this step more or less relaxed, and sometimes, what is right does not mean that it is right.
For example, in the original time and space, a certain bigwig waved his hand and laid off hundreds of millions of people, although from the overall situation, without the wave of layoffs, it would be impossible to liberate the productive forces, and private enterprises would not have risen because of this, but after all, there were many laid-off workers at that time who were miserable, and even some things could not bear to speak.
Guo Dalu didn't dare to toss like this, so he could only slowly implement it in the Yinxian area, and slowly "squeezed" the labor force out of the land through the potted three-dimensional planting method and the contract responsibility system, which can be regarded as a kind of improved and gradual land revolution.
This is different from the drip irrigation method promoted by the cultivators to forcibly drive the peasants away from the land, Guo Dalu's primary consideration is that the landless peasants must have a way out, they cannot freeze and starve, and the future life should be stronger than plowing the soil, better, and gradually produced among the people, and the impression that the work is better than farming, and it is more decent.
On the earthen platform, Gou Buri raised his voice to explain the contract responsibility system several times, let him tell the various benefits here, and promised that the snow sugar shop in Houlong Village would provide loans to buy cattle and donkeys and other livestock, but his voice was a little hoarse, although the villagers in the audience had ardent expectations in their eyes, but they did not dare to come forward, pointing to a piece of land in the map and shouting, "This piece of land is contracted!"
The reason for this is that the cultivators and the big landlords and aristocrats have oppressed the peasants too much, and in the Great Li Dynasty, there was no place for small and medium-sized landlords to live, and although the villagers of Qiangjiao Village now have the opportunity to "be the masters of their own affairs," they do not dare to come out -- the rafters that come out will rot first! If you plant kudzu grass and have a stable food to eat, if God does not open your eyes and there is a drought and a flood for a while, it will be all over! Although the snow sugar shop in Houlong Village has a loan, it is always uncomfortable to carry debts, so who dares not to repay the debts? Obediently, although the Science Gate is generous to the people, it is also a cultivator sect, and when the time comes, they don't need to come forward in person, and a chain in the yamen will pull you into prison. You still expect to make a fortune by contracting land, and you don't have to make a fuss about your personal wealth in prison.
Gou Buri propaganda has been launched for a long time, and the villagers below have not moved, he is a little anxious, and he happened to see his father in the audience, and hurriedly glanced at him.
Gou Buli's father was actually already moved, he stared at a sixty acres of land by the stream on the map, and his heart was really itching, it was a piece of good watered land, as long as it was done well, it would definitely be a bumper harvest! This is many times stronger than the land that his family opened in the barren mountains!
But he was a little hesitant, his family is now really poor and white, even the coal for heating is from the snow sugar shop on credit, if he really wants to contract such a large piece of land, then he not only has to buy a large livestock, but also hire long-term workers, which will cost a lot of money, even if the snow sugar shop can give a loan, but this pressure is also like a mountain on his back, I am afraid that he will not even be able to sleep.
But when will there be a day when you will be able to guard those wastelands?
As long as this fertile land is planted, within five years, he will have the confidence to build a big tiled house!
At this time, seeing his son desperately glancing at himself, knowing that he hoped that he could come out and take a good start, Gou Buri's father hesitated, gritted his teeth, got out of the crowd, raised his hand high, pointed to the place he fancied and shouted: "I want this land -- I, I have contracted it! The harvest in the field, I and Mr. Houlong are twenty-eight, Mr. Houlong is eighty-eight, and I am twenty-eight!"
The harvest in the field is twenty-eight open, and if the imperial grain and national tax are removed, there will only be one percent left in Gou Buli's hands at most. However, I can't support the total amount of production in the field, and Gou Brid's father has sixty or seventy acres of land in his hands, which adds up to a lot of grain, and he can live a good life anyway.
Gou Buri was very happy to see that his father was the first to eat crabs--this allusion to eating crabs was still told to them by Guo Dalu, especially when his father was the first to come out and pick a good piece of water to water the ground.
Gou Buli has participated in the exploration of the land in Qiangjiao Village, so he naturally knows how fertile this piece of land is. However, he is now the host of the auction land, but he cannot be happy.
Gou Buli said seriously with a small face: "Are you serious about this uncle, do you really want to contract this land?"
Daddy Gou was already out of the crowd at this time, jumped out of the crowd, jumped on the earthen platform, pointed to the land and said loudly: "That's right, I want this land, should we sign a contract too?" I'll put my fingerprints on itβno, I've learned to write my name, I'll sign it!"
Gou Brie raised his father's right hand high and shouted to the peasants in the audience: "Okay! This piece of fine and fertile land will belong to my father from now on!" He couldn't help but shout out the word "my father." (To be continued.) )
