Fan Twelve saw that there was something in the leader's words, and his face was full of smiles, knowing that something was wrong. Music + Text + Novel www.しwxs.com Seeing four soldiers standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the leader said "take it down!" and he had to carry his luggage to dig out the sand. I couldn't help but sweat hot and cold. He hesitated for a long time without saying a word, but his body was involuntarily shaking.
The village accountant was still quick-thinking and said quickly: "Village Chief Fan is so pretentious that he can't speak clearly. Let me speak for you."
Yun Suji asked: "Are you..."
"I am the accountant of the village, Han Daoguo." The accountant stood up, nodded and bowed.
"Oh, it's the accountant." Yun Suji knew that even though the accountant was not an official at the grassroots level, he was a key figure. Cadres relied on him to do their jobs well and to do mischief. He knew the basic situation in the village better than ordinary cadres. It goes much deeper. He looked at the accountant's style, and he probably had a background as a store clerk, and he spoke new dialect with a southern accent, so he said, "Okay, tell me about it."
"Yes, Chief!" Han Daoguo bowed and cleared his throat, "Our village is a model village in the county. This is all due to the leadership of the Senate, the county, and the township..." He looked at Yun Suji's With a look on his face, he quickly got to the point, "If you want to talk about the problems, there are quite a few. The biggest complaint from everyone right now is that there is too much labor."
"What kind of method?"
Han Daoguo took out a small book from his pocket, turned a few pages with some saliva, and said: "Report to the chief: Last month, our village had a total of 1,566 working days of labor. It was still busy last month, so we sent labor It should be less. On weekdays, it would be 2,000 working days!"
Yun Suji calculated in his mind that the total labor force in the village was 192. In other words, each full-time worker worked on average for more than 8 days last month. If there are more than 2,000 working days in a normal month, it will be more than 10 days. In other words, even during the busy farming season, the village's labor force only works for two days a week. In normal times, it will reach the level of nearly 3 days a week.
Yun Suji had read political and economic history, which talked about the exploitation of peasants in serfdom estates working for landlords. Generally 3 days a week is a threshold. If it lasts more than 3 days, it will basically be the point where "people are in dire straits." And based on what I learned from the previous chat with the villagers, there is an unfair distribution of labor here. If some people escape from labor, their labor will inevitably fall on other villagers, and the burden will be far more than this amount. It is normal for farmers to have complaints.
He nodded slightly and said, "That's a lot!"
Seeing that he had no objection, Han Daoguo became more courageous and said: "As for this month, it is considered a slack period for farming - in fact, you have also seen it, chief. There is not much slack - there is a notice from the county that half of our village's employees will be transferred The laborers go to the construction site for a month."
"Not counting winter slack and busy farming, how much labor is required every month on average."
"They're all around two thousand."
Yun Suji took out a pen. Write down the data in your own notebook. Asked again:
"What about the service content?"
"We can do everything. Water conservancy and road construction are the big ones." Han Daoguo said, "Planting trees, unloading goods, transporting wood, digging sand, fetching soil... As long as it's physical work, we will dispatch workers."
"Where are the bad ones sent? What procedures do I need to go through?"
Fan Twelve calmed down a little now, and quickly went back and forth: "We will also send people to the county, we will send people to the village, and we will also send people to the mine. The procedure is to send a notice."
Yun Suji knew that the "mine" was Jiazi Coal Mine, a state-owned enterprise directly under the Planning Institute. The mine now not only supplies low-quality lignite to Lingao. A large amount of mining by-products such as coal gangue must also be transported to Qiongshan for processing into building materials. Cargo throughput is high.
"Where is the counterpart department? Which department issues the order?"
"In the county, the county human resources department, in the township, the township government will issue a note and stamp the official seal, and that's it." Fan Twelve said, "At the mine, the mine office will issue a note. When the notice is received, people have to be arranged. If you don't go, you can't do it. "
Yun Suji thought this was too casual and a typical abuse of people's power.
"Are you going to work as a laborer to take care of the food?"
"I'm in charge of food. I'm just spending money on clothes." Fan Twelve said, "My clothes were worn out at the last construction site. Now that I'm working in the county, the county can give me some subsidies, so I can make up for it."
"Have you ever had any accidents while working?"
Fan Twelve hesitated for a moment and said: "Been out..."
"How many casualties are there? Are any disabled?"
"One died and three were disabled." Fan Twelve said quickly, "The county has given them pensions. They are living a comfortable life."
"Can the disabled work?" Yun Suji asked. "What arrangements does the village have for them?"
This time Fan Twelve was in trouble and hesitated: "Arrangements... always pay off..."
Han Daoguo hurriedly took over and said: "The village has the final say for these households, and they have arranged for people to farm their land. During the holidays, the village will provide more food, cloth and other things. They can live a comfortable life. We will never let them freeze or starve."
Yun Suji thought this arrangement was acceptable, but Fan Twelve's vague words had to make him suspicious of Han Daoguo's statement. He decided to visit these houses later.
At this time, a team leader boldly stood up and said tremblingly: "Chief..."
Seeing that he was an old man, Yun Suji said, "Old man, please sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, chief." The group leader said, "We accept the labor contract. If you hurry up, you can still do the work in the fields. But now there are all kinds of tricks..."
"What tricks?"
The old man glanced at Fan Twelve and said: "The first is night school, where people are sent from the county to 'literate'. It is a good thing to have classes at night, and literacy is a good thing, but everyone has worked all day during the day and has to work the next day. We all want to go to bed early. We all have to go - learn from holding lanterns. It’s just a child. Shouldn’t an old man like me be spared..."
"Oh, what else?"
“There are so many various study classes,” the old man said. “My son spends seven or eight days a month studying in the county for meetings and studies. He can’t handle the farm work at home, and his wife is sick from exhaustion. When he goes to a meeting, he might as well be working as a laborer - when he is a slave, he has to take care of the food, but when he goes to study and attends a meeting, he has to bring pancakes!"
"What does your boy do?"
"He is the liaison officer of the Heaven and Earth Society in the village."
Yun Suji nodded and turned to ask Fan Twelve: "Are there many people in the village who often go to meetings and trainings?"
"There weren't many in the past, but recently the county organized children from the village to go to training. Most of them are those who are in the 14th Five-Year Plan. Groups of them go there for half a month."
Children aged fourteen or fifteen, regardless of gender, are considered half of the labor force in rural areas. Going away for half a month and a month is indeed a loss for family labor.
Yun Suji asked the old man to sit down, and then someone mentioned that there were many disguised forms of labor service: making military shoes, removing and washing old military uniforms, collecting castor seeds; preparing meals for the troops and laborers, and calling women Another kind of pancake making. There are also annual militia training and so on.
"We are really busy all year round, and when we go to bed, there are still a lot of hard labor waiting for us." The group leaders complained one after another, "The people are not happy, but the pressure in the county and township is very tight, and if we don't do it, we can't do it!"
Seeing the leaders talking to the group leaders, Fan Twelve said, "I'm going to relieve myself." He walked out of the yard. He didn't go to pee. He called Liu Yuanhu, who was "maintaining order" outside, and said: " Wonho! Hurry and go to the houses of the families who had the accident to prepare! Get some clothes for them to wear, fill up the food store, and tell them not to talk nonsense! The chief may want to visit in a while! "
Liu Yuanhu agreed and said: "It's easy to talk to the other families, but what about the Cao family? That old guy has been working against us and is determined not to go along with what we say."
Fan Twelve said: "You find a place to lock her up first. Then we can just say that she went out to visit relatives. Anyway, there is no one else in her family."
Liu Yuanhu was about to leave when Fan Twelve stopped him again: "You have to remind the neighbors, don't talk nonsense! There are also people who have rented the land from these houses, you have to take care of them too. : You can’t talk about renting, but farming on behalf of others. Only 30% of the grain harvesting is used as hard work! The rest is given to the original owner. Do you understand? Don’t make a mistake!”
"I know!" Liu Yuanhu agreed and hurried away.
Fan Twelve took care of Liu Yuanhu and returned to the yard. When he saw Yun Suji, he smiled and said, "Are you a grain farmer? I originally wanted to talk to several grain farmers. Getting rich is a good example."
When Fan Twelve saw that the person Chief Yun was speaking to was Bai Puting, he was more than convinced. Lao Bai is not only very "interesting", but he is also very cautious at ordinary times and will not talk nonsense.
"Supreme Taoist Treasure Tianzun!" Bai Puting is a believer in the new Taoism. He is extremely devout to the religion that saved him from death and sent him to the "Blessed Land". A serious talker always says this. , "The world in Hainan is peaceful and it is easier to make a living and make a fortune. This is all thanks to the blessing of the Senate."
"How many people are in your family? How much land do you farm?"
"Reporting to the chief, I have a mother-in-law, two sons and two daughters at home. I have cultivated more than 200 acres of land, 80 acres of which were allocated by the Senate, and the rest was obtained by asking the Heaven and Earth Society to clear up wasteland. I also cultivated a few acres of land myself."
"Your family is prosperous." Yun Suji nodded, "How old are the children?"
"The eldest son is twenty, and the younger son is seventeen. The eldest daughter is thirteen, and there is a little girl who was born in Hainan. She is only two years old..." Bai Puting sighed as he spoke, "Originally there was a little girl. My son and my wife died on the road while fleeing."
Yun Suji nodded, no wonder he made a fortune: the three men in the family were all strong laborers. My daughter can also do half of the labor. My wife can still have children, probably not too old. There is no burden for the elderly at home.
"Has your son got a wife?"
"The trustee said it's a deal. We have just harvested grain now, and we are short of money. We can't come up with a full set of betrothal gifts, so we have made a decision first. After selling the grain and local products, we will pass after the first month." (To be continued. (.com) )
