Chapter 186 Leizhou Experience
Five hundred captive laborers from the Battle of Chengmai, with the cooperation of temporarily recruited civilian laborers, urgently built a trestle for unloading heavy equipment at the dedicated wharf of Jiazi Coal Mine in Haikou Port. [No pop-up novel website] txt e-book download** The logistics equipment and maintenance equipment carried by the advance battalion of the First Maritime Mobile Wing were unloaded from the ship.
The First Mobile Regiment is located outside Qiongshan County. Due to the large amount of equipment and the need for a large amount of coal, the camp of the entire Regiment adopts a field camp method. All daily necessities are unloaded from the ship, and even the equipment is used. The coal is all high-quality Hongji thermal coal specially transported from Lingao.
The first batch of agricultural technicians trained by the Tiandi Society held the wooden stakes and ropes that marked the plots. They marked the plots on the land where the floods had receded according to the surveyor's instructions, and delineated the first piece of land directly under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Committee. farm.
In addition to farms under direct jurisdiction, similar work is also carried out on farmland contracted by Tiandihui. After measuring and marking the plots, agricultural machinery officially moves in to clear the fields and carry out farmland infrastructure construction. A layer of river sand and debris was left on the land after the floods receded. Just clearing the fields took a lot of time and labor. The tractor of the 1st Mobile Wing emitted black smoke, sprayed white air, and made a clanging sound of metal. It moved slowly in the wet fields. At this time, a large number of stunned people would gather at the edge of the fields. the indigenous people: from rich families wearing silk scarves to the victims of the disaster who are not fully clothed.
Chang Shide occupied part of the original Qiongzhou Ordnance Bureau's buildings in Qiongshan County. A plaque for the Qiongshan branch of Tiandihui was hung at the entrance of the Yamen - of course it is also the seat of the Qiongshan County Agricultural Bureau, which is not open to the public.
Subsequently, under his direct command, Tiandihui began to launch a comprehensive propaganda offensive in Qiongshan.
Different from the last recruitment offensive, the main purpose of this offensive is to encourage local people, whether farmers or landlords, to participate in the Tiandihui's "rural cooperative" system.
The rural cooperative system is not a cooperative system established in the 1950s. Chang Shide believes that based on the current agricultural level, it is quite difficult to adopt high-level mutual aid and cooperation. The loose nature of farmers is also a problem for a cooperative system that lacks binding force. Not out of place. Therefore, the rural cooperative medical system he established in Leizhou is similar to the Japanese-style rural cooperative cooperative: farmers voluntarily participate, and participating farmers must receive technical guidance from the rural cooperative cooperative, and the rural cooperative cooperative provides seeds, compound fertilizers, and pest control. When necessary, farmers The cooperative also provides agricultural machinery services: including mechanized harvesting, chōu water irrigation and farmland drainage. 4∴⑧0㈥５ Agricultural products are uniformly sold by the Rural Cooperative Organization.
All these services and agricultural inputs are provided for a fee, but settlement can be postponed until after the agricultural products are harvested - of course, a certain amount of interest must be calculated. The agricultural contract also provides small amounts of credit through Delong, and farmers can use land or future harvests as collateral.
Since farmers have almost no cash in their hands, they inevitably resort to various small loans in production. This is also the reason why rural usury has been very prosperous in the past. Now this credit has been changed to a rural cooperative. The first purpose is to use credit to control the exploitation of farmers. The second purpose is to crack down on rural usury, clean up the rural economic environment, and prepare for Delong's large-scale entry into the countryside.
Tiandihui's rural cooperative medical system does not absorb landless farmers - pure tenants or farm laborers are not included in the rural cooperative medical system. The rural cooperative medical system absorbs landless farmers and small and medium-sized landowners.
In addition, the owners of agricultural land manage the land themselves, and the Agricultural Association does not take any part in it - it only provides "guidance" and "assistance". Chang Shide believes that this is the most ideal way to treat small farmers at this stage.
Under this system, although farmers have received great benefits, their ability to resist disasters has not been qualitatively changed. Their position is still very fragile. On the surface, they appear to be free from the troubles of greedy and predatory rural loan sharks, but in fact they are trapped in a more complex and pervasive rural cooperative loan network. A little bit of poor management will lead to the dilemma of being unable to repay credit. According to Chang Shide’s experience in Leizhou, under this system, homesteaders will quickly become polarized: some people with flexible minds, high agricultural standards, large amounts of land, and good management skills will take advantage of the various supports provided by the Tiandi Society. Those who stand out in agricultural production and gradually rise, others will gradually fall into trouble in the endless "credit" and eventually lose their land - of course, once they have to pay back their land to Tiandihui, Tiandihui will be very kind. Arrange for the whole family of farmers to work as agricultural workers or industrial workers on directly operated farms.
Although the Spartacist Regiment carried out a series of criticisms on the so-called "Leizhou Experience" and the "rural cooperative system" in its own magazine "Red Flag", it was clearly stated in "Four Comments on the Leizhou Experience" that the so-called "Leizhou Experience" "It is a poisonous weed to support new landlords and engage in "new rich peasantism". However, this experience is completely consistent with the agricultural policy of the Senate, so it has been strongly encouraged by the Executive Committee and has become an important promotion model.
Under Chang Shide's arrangement, the Propaganda Department erected large billboards outside three cities in Qiongshan County, with pictures and texts to promote "rural cooperative medical care is good" to the people of Qiongshan County.
Because farmers are generally illiterate, most of the signboards are paintings, diagrams and printed photos. There is also a large display stand in front of the signboard. On the display stand, there are sand tables, various new farm tools, fertilizer samples, seeds and Crop specimens.
Ji Denggao led the lion dance troupe and the gong and drum troupe to perform with gongs and drums every hour to attract the audience. Beside the billboard, large plates of perilla-wrapped vegetable rice balls as big as table tennis balls were being cooked on site. Everyone who came to listen to the promotion was given a vegetable rice ball. In this way, the display stand attracted a large number of people from all over the world. Township people. Many families kicked out their children early in the morning: "Go to the gate of the county seat to get the rice dumplings!"
The passion for eating rice balls has led to a large number of spectators gathering in front of the billboard every day, eating the rice balls while watching Western scenes. Ji Denggao has long been experienced in such scenes. Everyone who wants to get a rice ball must get a bamboo stick before starting to listen to the propaganda. After listening, the bamboo stick is handed to the staff, and the staff gives a rice ball. The person's arm is stamped with blue ink. This kind of indigo ink can stay on people's skin for several days - this effectively avoids the disadvantage of someone taking turns to get the rice balls from three cities.
In order to ensure that there were no other drawbacks, there were additional soldiers from the First Infantry Battalion on the periphery who were responsible for guarding, maintaining law and order, and arresting unorganized people who defrauded the rice balls in bulk or used violence to rob the rice balls.
Chang Shide knew that almost all the people who came to see the board came for the rice balls, but he didn't care. These rice balls don't cost much. He just wants to create momentum and spread the news about Tiandihui's rural cooperative medical system to the countryside as soon as possible - in this era where communication basically relies on shouting, nothing spreads faster than word of mouth. means of communication. What's more, he still has some confidence in the propaganda methods mastered by the Propaganda Department.
On the billboard are large posters and photos of the "new look" that emerged after the implementation of rural cooperative medical care. Needless to say, the promotional posters are drawn like a fairyland. As the lingo goes, “it’s all renderings.” In addition, there are a large number of photos - all of them are photos of "new rural models" of several communes directly under the Central Government, neat houses, straight roads, herds of pigs and sheep, and "happy life scenes": new stoves and gas lamps are a must. and meals for the farmers.
In addition to the pictures promoting "Join the Tiandihui and start a new life", there are also many icons of agricultural technology, such as fish and duck farming in rice fields, rice mulberry hún farming methods, biogas pools, thin planting in rice fields... There are also displays on the stands. Model sandboxes carefully crafted by model masters among the elders: including a panoramic "new countryside", a "courtyard economic three-dimensional model display", an "Australian-style comprehensive farm structure diagram" and a "agricultural tools and machinery use model" …
Visitors have never seen such realistic pictures, let alone such exquisite and detailed models. They were all fascinated. When they saw the new farm tools and crops on display, many people were in tears. Strong interest. Those thick rice balls, strong ears of rice, plump grains...
In addition to those who have known about the "Australian Farming Method" for a long time, there are also many people who came here just to get a rice ball. After being "baptized" by the signboard, they couldn't help but be moved, and they had to ask for work The staff came to inquire about the specific practices of Tiandihui. The staff members answered every question they had, and all of them used their MLM energy to promote the various benefits of joining the Tiandihui:
"The fields are flooded and the harvest is gone. What should I do if I can't pay the taxes? It doesn't matter. Tiandi will have a loan. They can help you pay the taxes first and wait until the next year to collect the taxes and pay them back. The interest is easy - one cent a year, which is better than what you are doing here. It's much cheaper to borrow in the village.
"The grain harvest has failed. Our Tiandi Association provides replanting services. Anyone who joins the Tiandi Association will provide seedlings? What? You have no money. It's okay. You owe it first and you will pay it back after harvesting!
"The fields have been flooded, it's okay! We have big iron oxen, we will help you prepare the land first. The price is easy to negotiate, so we'll settle the debt first."
"The last seven days are our Tiandi Club's preferential weekly services. Anyone who signs a contract this week will receive a 50% discount on the service fee, and there will also be a free floor plowing service!"
"Is it expensive? It's not expensive! Otherwise, you can introduce a few more households to join our Tiandi Club. If you sign up for one, I will give you a 5% reduction in service fees. There is no cap. If you can bring in as many as you want, I will give you a 5% discount on the service fee." No matter how much I give you, if you bring twenty of them, you’ll be free for the whole year!”
Under the eloquent words of the staff, many homesteaders and small and medium-sized landowners who were in trouble after the disaster were moved. From the third day of the promotional campaign, the signing rate began to increase
