The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 206: I neglected a big thing and almost caused serious consequences!
"This year's agricultural harvest has come to an end, and the collection of agricultural taxes is in full swing. This meeting is mainly to make a summary of this year's agricultural production, set the tone for the collection of agricultural taxes, and prepare for the early winter and early winter. A plan needs to be made for next year’s farming season.

Let’s talk about the regulations on agricultural tax collection first. Taxes should be collected strictly in accordance with established policies, and the administrative department must do a good job in supervision. It is absolutely impossible for public officials to exploit people’s money and food in the name of taxation. If such incidents occur, they will be dealt with seriously. No tolerance.Secondly, we need to appropriately allow the phenomenon of people who are unable to make money to pay taxes in arrears. Farmers who cannot pay the full amount of taxes at the moment can go to the township office to write a note to postpone the payment of taxes until next year's harvest is good.

Of course, tax arrears must be limited, regulated, and have corresponding punitive measures.For example, unless special circumstances arise, the children of farmers who owe taxes for more than two years cannot work in any institution under the name of the city lord's government, nor can they enroll in school.They are not entitled to enjoy the series of policies implemented by the city government to benefit the people.For those who have been in tax arrears for more than three consecutive years, their land deeds and household registers may be confiscated and they may be deported.

In short, the truth is that we must be lenient to the people when it comes to taxation, and we must not force people to go to a dead end because of taxes. We must always uphold the original intention of leaving a way for people to survive.However, paying taxes is also the responsibility of the people. Those who evade taxes without reason are harming the common interests of the people of Yungu, and Yungu cannot tolerate them.Everyone pays taxes, everyone contributes, and everyone enjoys benefits is the essence of our Yungu. "

At the autumn counselors' meeting, Song Yingkui felt that it was necessary to write some propaganda slogans about the honor of paying taxes and the shame of tax evasion on the walls of various villages in Yungu.For example: everyone pays taxes, everyone contributes, and everyone enjoys benefits. This is very brilliant and can definitely appear in the streets and alleys of Yungu.

"City Lord, it's not easy to write a note to defer the payment of taxes. Then the Finance Secretary will not be able to calculate this year's tax revenue. It will be difficult to reconcile the accounts, and it will also be impossible to audit the officials below." Don't let some intentional people take advantage of the loopholes." Song Yingkui said it very easily, but Jiang Yunjin felt that the execution of this thing was worrying from a practical perspective.If you owe more, it will become a bad debt, and the hidden dangers are not small.The taxes here in Yungu are not heavy, so this is not a good policy.

"It depends on people. For the Finance Department, the Taxation Department, and the townships, doing this will indeed cause some trouble in the accounts. But isn't this what everyone does? The applications and actual collections are listed in the accounts, and each year's arrears are calculated. If taxes are recorded separately, we can still find ways to regulate them clearly. If officials work harder, the people will suffer less. Isn't this what should be done? What is the purpose of the people paying taxes to support officials? Is it? Are you trying to make the work of the officials easier?" Song Yingkui was very dissatisfied with his second uncle's concerns. He was thinking about how to make it easier for the officials. Why do so many officials do so much?

After rejecting the different opinions put forward by his second uncle, Song Yingkui continued: "Based on the agricultural harvest report materials you printed, the administrative office will briefly talk about some of the key aspects of this year's agricultural harvest, so that everyone can prepare for the next step. discuss agricultural arrangements.”

Having a mimeograph machine is convenient!There is no need to spend a lot of effort arranging for people to copy multiple copies of the materials that will be used in the meeting.By writing a special wax version, you can easily copy dozens of files.At this counselor's meeting, a copy of the agricultural income report materials compiled by the Administration Department was printed in advance for each participant. Everyone could flip through the materials while listening to the reports from the Administration Department. The efficiency of the meeting was greatly improved.

"This year, the total number of acres of spring plowing in Yungu is about 80 acres, of which about 20 acres are planted with wheat, and nearly 20 acres are planted in paddy fields. The total wheat harvest is estimated to be around 20 shi. Soybeans and other summer grains have been planted for nearly 20 acres. 15 acres, and the grain harvest is about 40 dan. Potatoes are planted on nearly 20 acres this year, and they can harvest 100 dan. Other miscellaneous grains, I think, can be harvested around [-] dan. The Executive Office has a rough estimate, The total amount of grain harvested was between [-] and [-] shi.

Our current registered population totals about 19. If the grain is spread out on a dice, each dice can spread more than four shi of grain.Based on this calculation, the people of Yungu will not have to worry about food and drink this year.However, we harvest less staple grains and more miscellaneous grains, with potatoes accounting for the bulk. If we really count the grains, there are still some gaps.One of them is that there is a shortage of staple food. Another problem is that many of the potatoes planted in Wuying and other places this year have bad seedlings, which has affected the harvest. People are worried that the potatoes planted next year will be even more bad. This has to be done.

Potatoes are now our food base in Yungu. There must be no problem. We all have to find a way out.When I was abroad, I heard people say that after a few years of planting potato seeds, there will be more bad seedlings, so I have to find a way to get more taro seeds from far away. "

The second uncle took the materials and spoke out one by one what he thought was the more important content.In other respects, Song Yingkui heard nothing unexpected. Only when he heard that the potatoes were necrotic, he felt clever.Why did I neglect such an important thing?Potato seeds cannot be planted for a long time. Think about it, the original seeds planted now are basically from the Xingyue Gorge area. They have been planted for five or six years. It is strange that there are no problems.That is to say, the second uncle and the others discovered it in time, otherwise the situation would be more serious next year.

When potatoes appear necrotic, the seeds are actually old.Tuber-grown crops look like they are being replanted every year, but in fact they are still a seedling, and their functions deteriorate over time, just as people get more sick as they age.The solution to this problem is very simple, which is to use potato seeds to select seeds and re-grow seedlings.

The real seeds of potatoes are not tubers. People have flowers and fruits. However, after the seeds from potatoes are planted in the ground, they grow slowly. The potatoes grown are of different sizes, which is very unreliable.The scientific breeding method is to select from them, select those suitable for multiple planting as seeds, and discard the bad ones directly.To do this, special breeding institutions must be established, and it will definitely not be possible for farmers to do it themselves.

It's too late to realize this now. At least I won't be able to catch up with next year's spring plowing.No matter how fast the speed is, it will take two or three years to select and breed improved varieties.What a stupid person. I obviously learned this when I was in school. Why didn’t I think about it in advance?If you had arranged this earlier, you wouldn't be so passive.I just realized it now, where can I go to find disease-free potato seeds?
