Chapter 185 The husband and wife talk at night and divide the fields!

Tao Chunlan comes from a farming family, so it is not unusual for her to care about how much land her family has allocated.

Liu Sheng not only did not ask for confidentiality in this meeting, but instead asked the general manager and senior managers to talk to the people below after they went back, and took the opportunity to understand the people's views on the specific land allocation policy.

Therefore, after listening to his wife's inquiry, Liu Dachuan sat down and said with a smile: "Each family divides their fields according to work points. As the general manager of Huachu Camp, I also manage the government affairs of several major camps. You also know how many centimeters you can get every month.

Except for a few craftsmen in the craftsman camp who received large work points and material rewards for their inventions and creations, the centimeters accumulated by the general managers like us are the highest among all camps.

Now that the commander-in-chief wants to divide the fields, he will naturally get the most. He has not treated us badly. "

Liu Dachuan obviously wanted to sell things off.

Tao Chunlan became even more curious after hearing this, and urged: "Just tell me how much land you can allot."

Liu Dachuan stretched out a finger

"A thousand acres?" Tao Chunlan's eyes lit up.

In the past, the landowner of their village, Mr. Wang, didn’t even have a thousand acres of land!

Liu Dachuan smiled and shook his head, "What are you thinking about? It's one hundred acres."

"Only one hundred acres?" Tao Chunlan looked in disbelief when she heard this, and said in confusion: "Everyone in the family has said that our family has the highest points in the camp, but we are only allocated one hundred acres of land? This big So handsome..."

Tao Chunlan originally wanted to say, "The commander is too stingy," but seeing Liu Dachuan staring at him, he temporarily changed his words and said, "Is there a mistake?"

"I haven't even finished speaking, what are you in a hurry for?" Liu Dachuan said something unhappily at first, then softened his tone and said: "Although Huachuying was the first to open up wasteland and farmland, it has only cleared 10,000+ acres in total so far. field.

But now there are more than [-] people in Huachuying. If everyone allocates all the land according to their work points, the land in Huachuying will not be enough.

Therefore, this time the Huachu and Hebian camps have set a 'lower limit for work points' and an 'upper limit for acres' of farmland. "

As the wife of the housekeeper, and influenced by the atmosphere in the camp, Tao Chunlan often went to a girls' school to learn literacy and arithmetic, so she could barely understand Liu Dachuan's words.

But I still had doubts in my heart, thinking to myself: Isn’t it true that if the work points accumulated exceed a certain amount, they will be forfeited?
However, she calmed down and did not express her worries in a hurry.

As the saying goes, "One pregnancy leads to three years of stupidity" - before giving birth, Tao Chunlan probably would not have said anything to make Liu Dachuan angry in the first place.

Liu Dachuan said unhurriedly: "For example, many of the more than [-] people in Huachu Camp were assigned last winter, and the work points accumulated by these people are not many compared to others.

In addition, although everyone is generally very diligent, there are still some lazy people, and these people accumulate very few work points.

Therefore, a lower limit of centimeters has been set for this field division—all families whose accumulated work points are lower than a certain value are not allowed to participate in this field division, and will move to new camps and continue to cultivate wasteland and farmland.

Even so, there were many people who wanted to divide their fields, so they set a limit of one hundred acres of land.

After the work points are redeemed for one hundred acres of land, if there is any excess, the government will exchange it for silver.

Like my family, the remaining centimeters can be exchanged for more than a thousand taels of silver. "

Tao Chunlan's eyes lit up when she heard "more than a thousand taels of silver". Then she realized something and said, "We can't buy anything here, so what's the use of money?"

"Are you stupid?" Liu Dachuan was a little speechless. He felt that Tao Chunlan seemed like a different person after giving birth. "Since we have decided to exchange our extra work points for money, we will definitely be able to buy things here in the future."

"Really?" Tao Chunlan became happy again when she heard the news.

Women all like shopping.

Liu Dachuan said: "This time Huachuying and Hebianying will not only divide the fields, but will also be changed into Huachu Town and Hebian Town. Like the Ming Dynasty, markets will be set up in the towns to do business with everyone.

Some of the government supplies will also be used to open stores, so that everyone can exchange the money in their hands for the goods they want. "

"That's great!" Tao Chunlan was sincerely happy.

Liu Dachuan was only happy to see his wife, and was slightly disappointed that he had no more or deeper insights.

Liu Sheng proposed that the government (similar to the government) exchange silver for excess work points in the hands of the people, and then open a market to sell some supplies. This was not just what he said.

The government can also use this method to earn back part of the money distributed.

At the same time, people will feel happier after purchasing various goods that were not distributed during the previous semi-military control period.

Anyway, lots of benefits.

Tao Chunlan put the child back in the cradle and was busy getting hot water to wash Liu Dachuan's feet - the two of them ate in the canteen, otherwise Tao Chunlan might not be able to take care of the child by herself.

After the two of them put the child to sleep, Liu Dachuan was lying on the bed and suddenly said: "Chunlan, I'm going to be the county magistrate."

"County magistrate?"

“After the two major camps are established as towns, Huachu County will be established at the same time to take charge of the two towns and several other major camps. In the future, each camp will gradually divide the fields and establish towns.

The commander-in-chief chose me to be the first magistrate of Huachu County, but I was just a farmer and carpenter before, so I was really afraid that I would not be able to do well and live up to the commander-in-chief's high expectations. "

Tao Chunlan said: "If the head of the family becomes the county magistrate, wouldn't I become the county magistrate's wife?"

Seeing that the two of them were not on the same channel at all, Liu Dachuan suddenly lost interest in chatting and said, "It's been a busy day, let's go to bed quickly."

Tao Chunlan became interested, hugged Liu Dachuan's arm and asked, "Can our family find some servants at that time? The county magistrate's wife can't boil water and sweep the floor at home, right?"

Now that I have a child, I can’t do anything.If I could hire a wet nurse for my child, I could be more relaxed and find something to do. "

These words made Liu Dachuan's heart move, and he said: "It is definitely not possible to buy people as slaves in the Ming Dynasty, but if they hire people, it is possible - I will ask the commander later." "Master?"

Tao Chunlan suddenly called out softly and rubbed against Liu Dachuan.

However, Liu Dachuan did not react for a moment.

master?

Are you calling me?
Have I become a master too?
But if you become the county magistrate, you will become the county master.

···
The next day.

Liu Sheng immediately dispatched some stewards and the captains and captains of the production teams below to conduct inquiries, and made some supplementary changes to the previously set rules for dividing the fields.

On March [-], Huachu Camp and Hebian Camp officially began to divide their fields.

In the two camps, except for the more than 2000 people who were temporarily unable to participate in the land allocation because their work points did not meet the lower limit of the land allocation, the vast majority of the people were satisfied with the detailed rules of the land allocation.

Like Huachuying, the people who participated in the land allocation, even if they were single, young and strong families (one person), were allotted at least 10 acres of land (both land and land).

Most families allocate between 20 and 50 acres of land.

Those who can be allocated more than 50 acres of land are either managers, model workers, or those who have made other achievements.

Because the maximum number of acres allocated is 100 acres, the people will not feel that there is a big gap between them, and happiness will be easy to come by.

With 10 acres of land, a single man can cultivate it intensively and produce more than enough food to feed himself.

But some people think that having a full meal is nothing, and they should pursue more.

It is better to talk about getting a better house, marrying a wife, earning a richer family fortune for future generations, etc.

Knowing that the people had this idea, Liu Sheng also arranged for people to carry out targeted policy propaganda and ideological guidance.

Gao Xiucheng, now the director of the Propaganda Section of the Huachu County Gift Bureau, is responsible for this work.

The director of the Propaganda Department is a high-ranking official. As long as he takes one step further, he can become an official. He is still an emerging force with great potential in the Ministry of Finance, so Gao Xiucheng, who is only 17 years old, is very motivated.

In order to complete the task well, he personally took charge of answering the people's questions in front of the bulletin board near the political hall.

"I have the trust of the commander-in-chief. Tian is the director of the Propaganda Department of Huachu County. If you have any questions about this land allocation, you can raise your hands and ask me."

Because of the existence of adult schools, semi-military control and collective labor for most of the year, the quality of the people in Huachuying is very high.

At this time, there were no random questions, only questions raised by hands.

Gao Xiucheng first ordered a young man who looked no older than him.

"Director Gao, I am the only one in our family who has been allocated ten acres of land. If we farm well, we will definitely starve to death.

But I not only want to have enough food and clothing, but I also want to live a better life, marry a wife, have a son and raise a son, and even become rich. What should I do? "

"That's a good question." Gao Xiucheng smiled and nodded, "When I was studying at the Military and Political Academy, I learned that the commander-in-chief had a saying: Most people are motivated, and we must give them opportunities to improve.

Just like this brother, after having enough food and clothing, he wants to marry a wife, continue the family line, and even become prosperous.

So what should he do?First of all, of course, you must farm well, because you have to ensure that you have enough food and clothing.

The commander-in-chief also knew that everyone wanted to earn more, so he allowed everyone to work in lumber mills and other workshops during their spare time, or to do their own small business.

If I can do these two things, it shouldn't be difficult for me to make my family rich and marry a wife in the future.

But if you want to be prosperous, you must do one more thing, and that is to go to adult schools to study more and acquire useful knowledge.Only by accumulating enough knowledge can you change your destiny. "

These words made many people, like the young man who asked the question, nod their heads repeatedly, their eyes lit up, and they felt that the future path became clearer and more motivated.

At this time, Gao Xiucheng said again: "But I want to remind everyone to pay attention to the details of our land policy.

One of them is very important, that is, if a family's land has been abandoned for more than a year, it will be taken back to the government and distributed to others for farming.

At the same time, the owners of the fields will also be fined!
These fields have been opened up by everyone's hard work, sweat and blood, but if they are left there and abandoned, isn't it a sin?

Therefore, even if someone goes to work, do business, or become prosperous in other ways in the future, he or she must hire people to farm the land allocated to him.

If you no longer want to farm, remember to report to the Land Acquisition Section of the County Household Affairs Bureau and return the land to the government, so as to avoid the abandonment of the land! "

After hearing Gao Xiucheng's reminder, the people even expressed their agreement one after another.

After the land was divided, the taxes in Weibei were very low.

Like the experimental village in Longshou Bay, only one-twentieth of the summer and autumn taxes were collected in the first year after the land was divided, and only one-tenth from the second year onwards - no miscellaneous taxes were collected.

At the same time, except for a few corvee services such as military service, most corvee services were abolished.

With such relaxed farming conditions, these people obviously still can't figure out why someone would abandon their fields without farming, let alone think that this kind of thing will happen to them in the future.

　First more.

　　I was delayed, so I came late.
