Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 292 There is no shortage of land on the farm

Lu Changhua had a drink with the old director and Li Zhenguo, and he also made up his mind to shift the focus of his work to the farm.

At least give these employees a sample.

In the past, farm workers had little autonomy in so-called contracted land.

You sign a land contract every year, but it’s not always clear which piece of land you’re contracting.

People who have never been on a farm must not understand that when I contract land, why don’t I know which piece of land I am contracting? !

Hey, this is both funny and helpless.

First, you sign a land contract with the farm and just sign the contract document.

At the beginning of spring sowing, the farm will issue planting varieties and planting quantities according to the bureau's production tasks.

The farm agriculture department assigns these tasks to each branch or production team.

The production team decides what crops and quantities should be planted in those plots based on the tasks and plot rotation system.

Although the workers contracted the land, due to the need for crop rotation and large-scale mechanized operations, the workers had to be organized to sow the seeds collectively at the branch site first.

After the sowing was completed, the workers divided the land by lots.

For example, if each employee contracts 5 acres of land, then after spring sowing, he will decide what he wants from these 5 acres of land according to his own wishes.

For example, some people want 5 tons of wheat, some people want 5 tons of soybeans, and some people want 2 tons of wheat and 3 tons of soybeans.

If you only want wheat, then draw lots in the wheat-growing area, and whatever you draw will be the winner.

Some of them were unlucky and found out that their wheat fields were all in lowlands according to the numbers drawn in the lot. Some were lucky and their wheat fields were on high hills.

Therefore, this contracting and land allocation model makes employees miserable.

Those who lose more money, those who make less.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer workers working on the land.

Even if the farm forcibly allocates contracted land to employees, the employees will not be willing to plant.

Fortunately, during spring sowing, the fields are sown collectively and the land will not be left bare.

But with such an apportionment, where is the enthusiasm?
Many employees know that no matter how hard they work, they will lose money, so they break the pot and throw it.

I didn’t even participate in the lot division.

Regardless of whether you participate or not, these things will hang on your head anyway.

Some employees didn't know where their land was for a whole year, and they suffered losses at the end of the year.

As time went by, many people owed the farm tens of thousands of yuan.

These people are being collected for debts at home, and eating is a problem.

Many people have no choice but to leave their hometowns and go to other places to work and eking out a living.

Things like this abound in the farm system.

It also makes upper-level leaders worried.

Since none of our own people are willing to farm the land, we should introduce social capital and let outsiders do the farming.

So the concept of land transfer was put forward.

Each employee was allocated two acres of grain ration land.

This is the life security provided by the farm to the families of employees.

You can grow it yourself or pass it on to others.

Of course, once the land is transferred, it will generate economic benefits.

The cost of each land is several hundred yuan.

There was still a lot of arable land left, and the farms moved on by themselves.

These were introduced by Li Zhenguo at the wine table.

Hearing that Lu Changhua's Beishan Farm had been taken back, Li Zhanguo laughed and said, "No one has planted our own farmland yet, and it will be the same when we come back."

That's not the same.

Lu Changhua murmured in his heart.

The mountainous land in the forest farm is land that does not enter the scope of national cultivated land protection.

It was originally forest land, but now it is used to grow food instead of trees. His expenses are relatively much less.

For example, there is no need to pay agricultural tax and other taxes and fees on the land, only a management fee needs to be paid to the Forestry Bureau.

The farm land is different.

They are state-owned lands that enter the scope of national statistics.

There are various taxes and fees on every acre of land.

Regardless of whether the cultivated land is abandoned or cultivated, whether you are affected by a disaster or have a good harvest, there are fixed fees.

In addition to the cost of mechanized operations, the labor costs of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and field management, the total cost is nearly 2000 yuan per field.

In addition, the planting varieties cannot be independent, the contracted plots cannot be fixed, the harvest depends on the weather, and the costs are rising. If you don't lose money, who loses.

Especially the farm.

The prices of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and oils are all rising, while the prices of grains sold have been very low.

Can it not lose money?

Therefore, before 2000, the agricultural reclamation system in Heilongjiang Province suffered losses every year.

Not only are workers complaining about this situation, but authorities at all levels are also anxious.Always looking for a solution.

But before that, food must be planted.

Even if you know you are losing money, you still have to sow!

Why?

This is related to the country's food security.

Don’t you want to plant if you lose money?
Although Lu Changhua has not farmed in recent years, he still knows the general situation.

Li Zhenguo spoke the truth after drinking, and as soon as he mentioned the farm's current predicament, Lu Changhua felt a cold wind on his back.

The reclamation area of ​​Heilongjiang Province has more than 4300 million mu of cultivated land. It is an important national commercial grain base and a grain strategic reserve base with the largest scale of cultivated land, the highest degree of modernization, and the strongest comprehensive production capacity in my country.

The reclamation area has produced a total of 5706.4 billion jins of grain and sold 4452.2 billion jins of commercial grain to the country, making positive contributions to ensuring national food security, food safety and ecological security.

The comprehensive grain production capacity of the reclamation area can ensure a year's supply of food rations for 1.2 million urban residents.Such an important base is now in such difficulty that many people have forgotten where the food they eat comes from.

In the past few years, Lu Changhua has become rich and has eaten rice. Although he knew that the farm was in trouble, he did not expect that it would be so difficult.

As a kid from a farm, this sounds unpleasant to me.

He returned home, tossed and turned, and thought about it for a long time.

Early the next morning, he went to the office to find Li Zhenguo and expressed his thoughts.

"What? You want to take over the contract?"

Li Zhenguo wanted Lu Changhua to get rich with his employees, but he didn't expect Lu Changhua to contract land even though he knew he would lose money.

"You also know that my Beishan Farm has been taken back, and I can plant the land we divided, isn't that okay?"

"That's fine. How much do you want to contract?"

"I don't dare to take more than that. I'll give you a thousand yuan first."

"A thousand? The contract fee is quite a lot!"

One thousand acres of land is fifteen thousand acres.

"I'll try it first. But I have a condition."

"What conditions?"

"I have the final say on what to plant, I sow the seeds myself and do it myself."

"Is the plot of land fixed?"

"Correct."

"This requires the approval of the farm. I don't have this right in a branch."

Li Zhenguo is a bit chewy.

"Okay, you apply."

After chatting with Li Zhenguo for a while, Lu Changhua went to the reservoir.

In the past few years, the land in the vegetable garden has been his feed land.

Above the reservoir, the large area is plot No. [-], which is close to the reservoir. It would be much more convenient if he could contract this plot.

There was a crunching sound underfoot as we stepped on the snow on the dam.

The three Xiong Bao brothers were running happily in front.

Lu Changhua followed Wang Yao with Sheng Jie in his arms.

"Kekeke~hehehe~"

Sheng Jie watched Xiong Bao and the others having fun in front of them. She looked happy and giggled.

Lu Changhua teased her while quickly following Wang Yao's footsteps.

A path was trampled by cows on the dam, and cow dung occupied the path along the way.

"Walk to the side."

The snow on the roadside has not been polluted yet, but the snow is a bit deep. When I step on it, the snow reaches my ankles.

"Oops~"

Wang Yao exclaimed.

Lu Changhua hurried to help.

Wang Yao sat down in the snow nest.

But little Shengjie kept giggling in her father's arms.

"Give me a hand!"

"Xuewozi doesn't hurt if he falls, does it?"

Lu Changhua asked with a smile, grabbing Wang Yao's hand and trying to pull her up.

"Try to throw it down!"

Wang Yao said angrily.

"hey-hey."

Lu Changhua pulled Wang Yao up.

Xiao Shengjie said to her father: "Daddy, Nuomi is going to make a train."

"Okay. Let's take the train."

Lu Changhua quickly made amends.

Wang Yao patted the snow on her body.

He lifted his daughter up with both hands and placed it on his neck.

"Ooooh~ Nuomi is taking the train~"

Lu Changhua rushed down the dam with his daughter and ran on the ice.

"Cuckoo~"

"Hee hee hee~"

"Hahaha~"

Little Shengjie was riding on her father's neck, with her legs hanging on Lu Changhua's chest, kicking her calves, smiling cheerfully and innocently.

Wang Yao chased behind and shouted: "Slow down, be careful of falling!"

"Haha, come after us, come after us!"

Wang Yao chased for a while, panting, and finally fell into the snow, starting to play tricks.

Lu Changhua then ran back and pulled her up.

Wang Yao hugged him.

"Caught it, right? I watched you run, I watched you run~"

The laughter is cheerful and ethereal.

The warm sunshine is also much kinder.
