Chapter 1224 Come in, welcome, exit, good to go
When publicizing collective farms, both the government and the Fuxing Association focused on solving problems for farmers.

The problem faced by farmers is that going to work and farming has become a two-choice problem in many cases.

It’s good that there are enough laborers at home. They mainly farm the land, and the rest go to the construction site. If there are not enough laborers at home, the problem will be very serious, and the peasant association can’t solve it. There are often disputes in the village, which makes everyone very unhappy. .

Finally, in the midst of long-term entanglement and helplessness, the court came up with a solution to the problem, called collective farms.

As the name suggests, collective farms.

When faced with a dilemma, if you want to solve the problem, then join the collective farm with the land.

When it is your turn to go to work, you go to work, and your land farm will arrange for someone to help you cultivate the land to ensure the harvest of the land.

When it's the other person's turn to work, you have to cultivate the land for everyone under the organization of the collective farm, put in your efforts, and serve everyone's land as you would your own, regardless of whether the land is yours or his.

When the land is finally harvested, it is not distributed according to the original harvest on the land, and it is not distributed according to whoever owned the land originally, but according to something called work points.

Work points are acquired and accumulated through labor for agricultural production, site work, and logistical chores for members of collective farms.

Everyone gathers the harvest of the land together, publicly weighs it, records it publicly, and then distributes it publicly based on individual labor points.

It is fair, just and open. Anyone who has doubts can ask the peasant association about this matter. Everyone opens the skylight and speaks up, and no one deceives anyone.

In short, when you join the collective farm, you are our own people. In the year of good harvest, everyone will eat and fill together, and in the year of famine, everyone will tighten their belts and live together.

Never starve anyone, never give up, never give up or give up, as long as you work hard and don't slack off, then if everyone eats in one bite, you will eat in one bite.

Moreover, the collective farms have no thresholds, and there are no strange restrictions. You can join voluntarily. If you feel bad at any time, you can also withdraw.

Come in, welcome.

Exit, good to go.

Of course, collective farms can't have no rules at all. Without rules, no circle can be formed. I believe that everyone has no doubts about this.

The biggest rule of collective farms is that after entering, while enjoying the services of the collective, you must also serve the collective.

And after entering, the land becomes collectively owned instead of your own, and cannot be bought and sold as freely as before.

If you want to get back the land and buy and sell it freely, you can, just report to quit the collective farm. If you quit, the land is still yours, and you can do whatever you want.

But during the collective farm period, the land belongs to the collective, you are a member of the collective, and the private relationship of the land is temporarily frozen.

Moreover, those who commit crimes, be lazy and play tricks and fail to correct themselves, even if they join the collective farms, will be eliminated.

Explain this matter to the peasants clearly, do not deceive, do not hide.

Those who are willing to accept come in, and the court who is unwilling to accept it will not force it.

This system was initially tested near the central capital. The central government directly monitored and managed it, operated it carefully, and carefully asked the farmers how they felt.

A survey is conducted every quarter, and a general selection is conducted every year. The originally designed system is also adjusted in this survey and selection, and is constantly updated and iterated.

As expected, at first, many farmers refused to join the collective farms because they could not accept that the land became collective rather than their own, thinking that the imperial court was just messing around.

Some people think that this is a conspiracy of the imperial court, that the imperial court has repented, and does not want to hand over so much land to the farmers, and wants to take the land back from everyone's hands. This is a conspiracy.

Don't look at what they say now, it's easy to join now, but it must be very difficult to quit then!

Therefore, quite a number of farmers have a strong sense of vigilance against this.

In order to mobilize more peasants to join, members of peasant associations at all levels took the lead in joining collective farms anyway, and they did their best to persuade peasants to join collective farms.

But if they don't join, they have no choice but to let it go.

The data on the participation of collective farms in the first year is ugly. In fact, not many farmers have joined collective farms. In most rural areas, less than [-]% of the farmers have joined farms.

Before the spring of the second year, some farmers felt that the difference between joining and not joining was not very big, and it would not improve their lives, so they decided to quit.

The court kept its promise and did not stop it.

There are also some people who join the collective farm with the idea of ​​stealing and cheating and want to shave the wool, but they find that the wool cannot be smashed at all, so they either withdraw voluntarily, or they are voluntarily removed by the collective farm.

So the data gets even uglier.

But in the second year, the superiority of the collective farm gradually began to manifest itself.

After all, the strength of the collective is greater than the strength of the individual, especially in this era of backward productive forces and powerful natural disasters, just a slightly less favorable experience is enough to change the views of many farmers.

In the second year of the implementation of the collective farm policy, the Yanyun area was less rainy and slightly drier than the previous year.

The water conservancy projects built by the government have played a very important role, so the disaster is not serious, the reduction of grain output is relatively limited, and the overall situation has not changed.

But in one area, the difference between the individual and the collective is still very clearly reflected.

On the one hand, everyone gathered firewood with a high flame, carried water together, and took turns to carry water and rest. The production planning was scientific and effective, and the efficiency was very high. Everyone collectively overcame difficulties and ensured the production scale and results of the collective land.

On the one hand, it is difficult to walk, and the reduction of land income is inevitable.

During the autumn harvest season, after the distribution of work points within collective farms, the income of farm members is generally higher than that of individual farmers. The comparison is very clear, and the happiness index has risen significantly.

The tide turned.

With the strengthening of propaganda power, after the autumn harvest, a large number of peasants who felt that their personal power was small but their collective power was strong asked to join collective farms, which directly formed a trend of joining collective farms.

Finally, according to the statistics, 90.00% of the farmers in the whole experimental area directly joined the collective farms.

The remaining [-]% is not to join, and it may be an important reason to save face.

Su Yonglin has heard that when the first batch of farmers chose to join the collective farm, many people ridiculed them, thinking that they were following the government's way by joining the farm, and the government wanted to borrow the collective farm to take their land back. .

Absolutely do not join, do not say anything.

That's okay, don't force it.

On the other hand, after hearing the news that collective farms used collective power to challenge the water shortage, farmers outside the test area expressed their enthusiasm for collective farms and asked the local farmers association when they could conduct a collective farm test. Test the water.

The benefits of seeing are in front of you, so who else is really stupid?

Therefore, in the third year, at the beginning of the sixth year of Hongwu, the number of collective farms in the Zhongdu area directly tripled compared with the fifth year of Hongwu, and the number of members of the collective farms also increased significantly. The collective farm policy was initially recognized by the people.

This made Su Yonglin very happy.

In Henan and Shandong, farmers generally have greater demand and acceptance of collective farms due to the existence of the Yellow River Project and long-term disaster experience.

And because of geographical factors, they have cooperated with the government for a long time. There are a lot of people in this area who have joined the army, and they have supported the army many times in expeditions.

The people in these areas generally trust the government of the Ming Dynasty more, and they lack the sense of vigilance of the farmers in the Yanyun area.

In addition, the revival organization organized the publicity of the story of the implementation of collective farms in the Yanyun area. In the sixth year of Hongwu, the collective farms in Shandong and Henan areas quickly accounted for more than [-]% of the total number of farmers, and then quickly exceeded [-]%.

By March, this figure had stabilized at around [-]%, and temporarily less than [-]%.
