After returning from the arbitration tribunal, Lin Yan has been thinking about how to solve the land problem.
Throughout human history, productivity was low in ancient times, and land was the most important production resource.
Countless wars have broken out for this reason, and people have been beaten to death just for a bite to eat. If there were advanced productivity, the competition would not be so fierce.
But the current situation is like this, the land has just begun to bear fruit, and no one is willing to hand over the land they have worked hard to open up to others.
If this matter is not handled well, the impact will be huge.
In order to encourage people to take the initiative to open up wasteland, the land must not be taken back to public ownership. If this is the case, people will have no incentive to work.
Furthermore, why should people take back public ownership of the wasteland that people have worked so hard to open up? If we do this, people in Sun City may riot.
The question now is how to make it clear who owns the fields so that people don’t dare to invade and plunder them casually.
After flipping through the books in the science and technology museum and pondering for a few days, Lin Yan found some clues.
The land in Sun City has just emerged, so we can only use the simplest, most effective method that is suitable for the existing situation.
The idea she came up with was very simple. The wasteland cleared by any family belonged to that family, and no one was allowed to occupy it. This is the most basic right and no one can change it.
Five days later, after seeing the wheat seedlings in the field, Lin Yan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She first found Alan, told her her idea, and discussed whether it was feasible.
Lin Yan proposed that the arbitration tribunal send people to measure and record the wasteland that was opened. Each piece of wasteland should be numbered and wooden plaques should be issued.
The number and size of the wasteland should be recorded on the wooden sign. The records left by the arbitration tribunal should be more detailed. In addition, the person who opened the wasteland and the notary who registered the survey should be recorded.
Once a dispute arises, just check the records for verification.
Alan thought for a moment and then said, "What if someone forges a wooden sign? How do you tell the authenticity from the fake?"
"This problem is unavoidable. We need to distinguish the material of the wooden sign and the ink used to write it, engrave an anti-counterfeiting code, and match the wooden sign with the records left on file. This is the only way we can do it for the time being."
"It seems that you have already considered this issue, so I'm relieved. You can make the pattern of the wooden sign first and let the people in the arbitration tribunal look at it before making a decision."
After talking about the wasteland, Alan sighed deeply and said worriedly: "There are more and more people in the city, especially the proportion of little children. In a few years, when they grow up, the number of people in big families will become bigger and bigger." More and more are coming. In the long run, I am worried that if the big families join together, it will become more and more difficult to manage the arbitral tribunal."
"People's hearts are complex and changeable. In the past, everyone was busy fighting for a bite to eat, but now it is different. All kinds of disputes are constantly over money."
Lin Yan was silent for a while and said: "Competing interests are inevitable. What we can do is to formulate systems and restrict them. The current family form does have great disadvantages."
Alan didn't know, but he couldn't do what he wanted. "Huang Ye's health is getting worse and worse. When she passes away, Heitu and I may not have enough prestige."
Lin Yan was also very sad when he mentioned this.
Huang Ye's health is getting worse and worse, and he may die at any time. In the past two years, she has rarely appeared on the board of directors, and it was Alan who came forward.
Kurotsuchi was busy with the training of the military department, so it was inevitable that the Arbitration Tribunal would not be able to take care of it.
Alan's worries were reasonable, but Lin Yan felt that the conditions for implementing the new system were not yet mature, such as changing the family structure and formulating new rules.
Her original plan was to vigorously develop planting in the past two years to provide food and clothing.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Yan looked at Alan. Since she said that, she probably wanted to do something.
Alan said: "I want to divide the big family and let adult men and women form separate families. It will be easier to manage each family if they are not too different. I also disclosed this to Huang Ye, but she was firmly opposed."
Lin Yan was surprised. Alan's family is also a big family with a large population. It is commendable that she can propose it regardless of her own interests for the long-term development of Sun City.
Huang Ye's family is the most populous household in Sun City, and her position is crucial.
"You want me to persuade Huang Ye?"
Alan nodded, "Huang Ye treats you differently. She can still listen to what you say."
Lin Yan shook his head, "If it's other matters, it might be possible for me to persuade you, but not this matter."
She knew Huang Ye. He seemed easy-going and easy to talk to, but deep down he was persistent. Perhaps only Alan would think so about dividing a big family.
Which other big family is not proud of its large number of people? It is too difficult for them to separate their families.
Nowadays, talents are the primary productive force. Only when there are more people can we have enough food and clothing, and can we not be bullied by others. Men in every wealthy family are reluctant to leave their homes, and most of them don't care about the babies born outside.
This idea has long been engraved in their bones, and it is too difficult to change suddenly.
Lin Yan was suddenly stunned. There were so many women in each family, but there was only one head of the household. If they were willing to start their own business, they might give it a try.
If a woman can establish her own business and be the master of the family, men will naturally follow her. If you want to dismantle the big players, you still have to split them from within.
After returning from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he left the wooden sign matter to Shi Zhi. For several days, Lin Yan was worried.
In addition to going to the fields to see wheat seedlings every day, she would sit in the yard and stare at the sky in a daze.
Huahong was busy every day, and on the third day, she finally realized something was wrong with Lin Yan.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Yan came to his senses and saw Hua Hong standing in front of him, "I'm thinking about the future."
"What's going to happen in the future?" Hua Hong sat down next to Lin Yan, "Life is so good now, and I feel more energetic when working every day. According to me, in a few years, every family will be able to live a good life."
"Auntie is right, this is good. You are busy with your business and don't worry about me."
Lin Yan didn't know how to express his troubles. Sun City was indeed getting better and better, and within a few years, he would be able to have enough food and clothing.
This is what most people like to hear, and it is also the future she wants.
But Alan's worries are inevitable. Conflicts have emerged, so he must be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Lin Yan has thought a lot in the past few days about the future of Sun City and how to manage it, but he still has no clue and seems to be in a dilemma.
She read many books, trying to find a suitable path.
But in the end, it was discovered that the situation in Sun City was different from any other period.
Historically, the matrilineal clan period was short-lived, and for a long time the status of women was weakened, and women were even treated as vassals of men.
She doesn't want to see such a situation. She wants everyone to get along equally. Neither the father nor the mother should belittle the other.
Human beings are individuals and should be born with equal personality and should be free.
But the reality is that it is difficult to achieve this. Even in the future technological era, it will be difficult to achieve absolute fairness.
In the past few days, she has also come to understand that people cannot be distinguished by men and women in a narrow sense, but that everyone should be respected, represent the interests of the vast majority of people, and strive for relative fairness.
