Chapter 84: Landlords and Models (Ask for Collections, Recommendations)


"New villages" are the focus of the Three Rural Revolution.

The layout of each new village has been carefully verified and planned.

According to the actual conditions of each region, the lower limit of its population size is at least no less than 1,000 people, and the upper limit is no more than 10,000 people. .

In addition to residential areas such as agricultural apartments and rural villas, each village has kindergartens, primary schools, health clinics, supply and marketing cooperatives, agricultural technology stations, warehouses, mills, sports fields, canteens, mechanical and electrical repair shops, radio and film rooms, etc.

Public facilities.

Of course, there are also government authorities such as village offices, public security joint defense, and militia.

"Gathering villages and merging villages" is a large project that requires a considerable number of new buildings, so now the entire liberated area has become a large construction site, with hundreds of cement factories, sand and gravel factories and building materials factories added.

Although this project may seem expensive now, it will save a lot of resources compared to the resources wasted due to unreasonable village layout in the future.

Not to mention, the reduction of grassroots administrative personnel and administrative costs due to the "merger of villages and villages", as well as the improved management efficiency.

The most important thing is that only after "villages are merged into villages" can it be most conducive to breaking the feudal clan relations and completely smashing the clan power system in the countryside.

Because "village merging" is not the relocation of entire villages, but the relocation of small families, villagers in the same natural village may be divided into multiple new villages, especially those with big surnames and big families.

It is possible to break up and distribute across villages, even across townships, counties, prefectures, and provinces.

Moreover, this distribution will also be divided according to class.

The original clan chiefs, elders, original gentry and powerful families in the natural villages will be split up and then centrally allocated to a new village so that they can be compared with the original clans and fellow villagers.

Isolated, some "patriarch villages" and "landlord villages" were formed.

The villagers in these "landlord villages" and "patriarch villages" are all the original grassroots ruling class.

Now that they are thrown together, these gentlemen are dumbfounded.

Without the manpower to mobilize, they are just nothing.

Since we were both masters before, who can be more honorable than the other?

Even if they wanted to fight each other, it would be impossible.

The management of this kind of "landlord village" and "patriarch village" is much stricter.

There are only militiamen in the "civilian new village", but regular troops are stationed here.

Of course, they will be replaced by armed police in the future.

The iron fist of the dictatorship will not allow them to do whatever they want.

Besides, those who can be assigned to live in "landlord villages" are "good gentry" who do no serious evil in ordinary times and landlords who can cooperate with the revolution and understand current affairs.

These people are easier to manage.

Those "local tyrants, evil gentry" and those who are ignorant of current affairs are not qualified to live in them.

These people are in various construction sites or "re-education through labor farms".

Even their relatives who have not committed any crime are still on tenterhooks, lest they be liquidated and divided into They are also very honest inside and dare not try the bottom line of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology again.

There is no such thing as "the law does not punish the public" in the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

For example, in those notorious bandit and bandit villages, entire villages were executed and sentenced.

The Socialist Party of Science and Technology led by Wen Desi does not like killing, but that is just because they think this method is of no benefit and is very inefficient.

It does not mean that they dare not or will not kill.

Although most of the people in the "landlord villages" are "good gentry", they will not be allowed to stay in their place of origin.

This is not a matter of belief or disbelief, but a necessary system.

On the one hand, this centralized resettlement is to cut off social relations and completely eliminate their influence in the original place; on the other hand, it is to facilitate control and brainwashing.

There is also another purpose that is inconvenient to say, which is to set an example for other "civilian new villages".

To be honest, compared with ordinary farmers, the quality of these former ruling class is indeed much higher.

They have read some books, and most of them are more flexible in mind, knowledge level and business ability than ordinary people.

Farmers are much stronger and more receptive to new things.

Of course, the most important thing is that these people have a lot of capital, and the government compensated them during the land reform.

Which family can live in a "landlord village" without hundreds of acres of land?

Compensation is 10 to 50 yuan per mu of cultivated land and 1 to 10 yuan per mu of forest.

Every family has at least tens of thousands of yuan in compensation.

Although according to the split household registration According to the principle, large families are divided into small families, but each family is given a minimum of a few hundred yuan.

Moreover, the land reform only forced the redemption of land, leaving their livestock and free money untouched.

These people are used to being pampered.

It would be absolutely unwilling for them to work like lower-class farmers with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess.

But now there is no one around to help them.

What should we do?

So, many of these minds Those who are flexible will no longer engage in agriculture and simply use their assets to invest in industry and commerce.

These people have applied to change their urban residence registration and have all gone to the city to set up factories and do business.

The Socialist Party of Science and Technology has always been very supportive of national industries.

In policy There are discounts on.

However, there are still many people who are unfamiliar with industry and commerce, who have doubts, or who just want to engage in agriculture in their lives.

These people continue to stay in the countryside, but they also come up with ways to be lazy, and that is technology.

Since they have more capital, they can naturally buy more advanced technological products, such as cars, tractors, seeders, harvesters, threshers, rice transplanters, automatic water dispensers, feeders and other means of transportation and agricultural machinery. and livestock breeding machinery.

Of course, a family cannot buy everything, and there is no need.

After all, a family now only has a dozen acres of land at most.

But they quickly accepted the "cooperative group" system launched by the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

A dozen or dozens of companies formed a "cooperative group" to buy all the necessary machinery and vehicles.

As a result, these "landlord villages" became the first places outside of state-owned farms to implement mechanized agriculture, and these people quickly tasted the benefits of technology.

Under the guidance of the Agricultural Technology Station, both field operations and livestock and poultry breeding have achieved bumper harvests.

Although I own less land now than before, my income is still higher than before.

This surprised them, and they couldn't help but become more convinced and identified with the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

In fact, this is not surprising.

In the past, the yield per mu was generally only a few dozen kilograms to two hundred kilograms.

How much could one earn by collecting land rent?

Even if one mu of land could yield two hundred kilograms, a thousand acres of land would only yield two hundred thousand yuan.

Jin, even if half of the land rent is collected is only 100,000 Jin, and not all of this income can be obtained, not only to support a large family, but also to deal with various exorbitant taxes and assessments from the Qing government.

You know, when tax collectors collect taxes and apportion them, they first look for these landlords.

Except for a very small number of large and extravagant landowners, they don't have to pay for the local officials' accounts.

The average small and medium-sized landowners can't escape at all.

At such a discount of 70% to 80% off, although they live a better life than ordinary farmers, I'm afraid it's not necessarily how good they are.

Especially the "sharing", this thing is specially prepared for the gentry and landlords, and ordinary people are not qualified to "enjoy" it.

There are not a few landowners who have been driven bankrupt.

There are also "official servants", that is, various errands, such as corvee labor and tax collection, are "contracted" to the landlords, asking them to collect taxes and organize labor.

If they fail, they have to pay for it themselves.

This job sounds easy, but not all farmers are as innocent and simple as some propaganda materials say.

There are always some who resist rent and taxes.

Not every landlord has armed servants or professional thugs.

Most of the people who encounter this kind of thing can only be caught blind, let alone those who really can't pay, or who evade taxes and service, then there is no way.

It is not uncommon for landlords and gentry to be driven bankrupt by "official service".

Of course, this kind of "official service" is not a problem at all for those unscrupulous "local tyrants and evil gentry".

Instead, it is a way to make a fortune.

This is also an important reason why since the late Qing Dynasty, "bad money drives out good money" and the rural gentry gradually deteriorated.

But it is different now.

The Socialist Party of Science and Technology has abolished all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as the assessments and labor that most feared the landlords and gentry.

The agricultural tax is only 30%.

Although the nominal tax rate is higher than the official tax of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has never relied on official taxes to make a living.

However, other weird and exorbitant taxes and apportionments are gone, and even the corvee system that has been in place for thousands of years has been eliminated.

If it is abolished, the burden will be much less.

Coupled with various improved seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides provided by the government of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, one acre of land can now easily produce a thousand kilograms.

If we pay more attention, we can produce 1,400 to 500 kilograms per mu, even if a family only has ten From a few acres of land, it is easy to get 20,000 jins.

After paying the regular taxes, more than 10,000 jins can be returned to the family.

This is something that was completely unimaginable in the past.

Of course, the main income comes from various side businesses such as livestock and poultry, aquaculture, etc.

These include various improved breeds, modern breeding methods, nutritious mixed feeds, and drugs to prevent diseases.

Coupled with the use of various technological products, the income in a year is several times that of farming.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in eastern Sichuan and Hubei, where the Three Rural Revolutions were first implemented, at least seven of the ten model villages are “landlord villages.”

Of course, when promoting, their identities are naturally ignored, and their use of advanced production methods and the benefits brought by cultural knowledge are emphasized.

After the natural villages were split and reorganized according to class, the "civilian villages" became much easier to manage because there were no more prominent figures such as patriarchs and gentry, and many families who were strangers to each other were grouped together, making it difficult to stay together. .

From a psychological point of view, people are more likely to obey authority when they are in an unfamiliar environment.

Naturally, the greatest authority in a new village is the village government, which has control over administrative and armed forces.

Without the constraints of the clan, various policies and measures were implemented very smoothly.

The main purpose of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology's revolution on agriculture, rural areas and farmers is to completely abolish the small-scale peasant economy model in rural areas across the country, realize "large-scale" and "intensive" industrial production, and ultimately turn traditional farmers into "agricultural workers" , turning rural areas into modern farms.

Now each new village is divided into several "cooperative groups", led by grassroots cadres and backbones, mainly veterans, who are engaged in production.

After they taste the benefits of "scale", they will no longer need to be led by anyone.

Interest will drive them to do it voluntarily.

Of course, it was very hard for grassroots cadres in the first few years
