The hard work of thousands of laborers can finally be seen in the evening. There are still a large amount of broken wet and black silt left in the newly added field for more than 100 acres of new fields. When the sun is dry for three days, the tractor team will spin again and become a top-notch good field.

The red sun shines, and the afterglow of the sunset swept across the lakeside and depressions. On the labor line of several kilometers, the people of Qishan wiped out all the mud sweat. Everyone grinned and showed joy and worthy smiles. Just add another effort and fill the land before harvesting the rice, you can plant thousands of acres of corn first, and then plant spring wheat together after harvesting the corn field.

The work has ended.

Yang Shaozong dragged his tired body to look at the commune secretary Xu Baoshan from a distance. The old secretary was liquidating the work points with several team leaders, and he was so busy that he didn't know when it would take to calm down.

He sighed in his heart and decided to talk about it tomorrow, so he would prepare to finish work with Zhao Dajun and leave.

From afar, Secretary Pan of the Fishery Brigade suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Yang Shaozong of Yangzhuang, come here, the old secretary has something to say to you!"

Yang Shaozong and Zhao Dajun tried their best and asked Zhao Dajun to go back first, and he went directly to find the commune secretary.

Running down from the lake embankment, Yang Shaozong was very young and jogging quickly and rushed to Xu Baoshan, secretary of the commune and Secretary Pan of the Fisheries Brigade. He ran over and asked, "What else should I do?"

Xu Baoshan raised his eyes and looked at him with a stern face, pointed to the big cart full of shovels and shovels and asked, "Is there any strength to do it... push the car back to the commune and add six labor points to you!"

"have!"

Yang Shaozong hung the belt on the handle of the cart around his neck without saying a word, and used the strength of his waist to support the cart and pushed it forward with a creaking force.

Only then did he realize that his youth was in good health. He could continue to work hard for these 6 work points after doing heavy physical work for a day.

His files were transferred to Huaihai Machinery College in 1984, and he was not considered a member of the commune. However, he worked in the commune at the age of 14. When he was in college, he was not idle every winter and summer vacation. He continued to help with work in the commune and was a good at repairing cars and transplanting rice.

Everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Crunch.

Yang Shaozong pushed the cart forward along the commune's gravel road. There were six or seven brothers who were scrambling for work points in front, but they set off early and were at least several hundred meters away from Yang Shaozong.

Yang Shaozong didn't plan to chase him, so he set out alone.

Soon a few cyclists passed by, all of whom were the secretary and captain of the commune.

Xu Baoshan, the old secretary of the commune, had inconvenient legs. He usually walked over to him wherever he went, but today he sat on the back seat of Secretary Pan's bicycle.

Seeing Yang Shaozong pushing a cart, Xu Baoshan greeted Secretary Pan and jumped down, waved his hand and signaled the others to take a step first.

Seeing that Xu Baoshan seemed to have something to say to him, Yang Shaozong stopped the cart.

When Secretary Pan and his men gradually walked away, Xu Baoshan lit a pot of dry tobacco for himself and said to Yang Shaozong: "Yi Zi, I have already recorded thirty labor points for you. If you have been working for work during this period, the commune will pay you more than thirty yuan at the end of the month, and you will have a living expenses at the bottom when you arrive in the city!"

Yang Shaozong did not refuse and thought for a moment, saying, "Secretary, I actually want to come to you today to talk to you. Seeing that you are busy and everyone is busy, I will help you do things first!"

Xu Baoshan asked in confusion: "What are you going to talk about? You are not dissatisfied with the work assigned by the country, right?"

Yang Shaozong said: "There is a little bit!"

Xu Baoshan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He still had some understanding of Yang Shaozong. Yang Shaozong joined the party in high school and had always had excellent ideological qualities. How could he have such an idea?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Baoshan asked tentatively: "Then where do you want to be assigned?"

Yang Shaozong replied neatly: "Secretary, I want to go back to work in the commune. I want to come back and take everyone to get rich, so that the commune can become a wealthy and modern town!"

His words were beyond Xu Baoshan's expectations and also surprised Xu Baoshan indescribable.

Now who doesn’t want to convert into urban population, who doesn’t want to go to a state-owned factory to get a job? Yang Shaozong actually wants to go back to the commune?

Xu Baoshan was silent and waved his hand to ask Yang Shaozong to continue pushing the cart and not delaying public affairs. He limped forward and approached the roadside.

There was a bullet fragment in Xu Baoshan's left knee. The left leg could not bend and the speed was not fast. Yang Shaozong pushed a big cart and struggled. The two of them slowly worked together and walked forward along the small gravel road in the countryside.

The sun that was about to set was blocked by the mountains. The sky was covered with red glows and the time was sparse in the windproof forest. They were all walking forward on the gravel road, thinking about each other's thoughts.

Xu Baoshan was confused at this moment. It was of course a good thing for a college student to work in a poor place in Qishan. He was very happy, but this college student was Yang Shaozong... He was reluctant to let him go!

After thinking for a while, he and Yang Shaozong said, "You are willing to come back to work, of course it's good to have a job. The secretary supports you very much, but you are now assigned to the city's machinery factory, and the files may have been transferred to the factory. Now I told the commune that I want to come back to work, which is indeed a little late."

Yang Shaozong smiled silently and said after a while: "Secretary, I understand in my heart. Only when I report to the machinery factory with my receipt certificate can they remove my files from the school. As long as you are willing to open this question, there is still a way to transfer me back to the commune now, right?"

Yang Shaozong is still very clear about the procedure for withdrawing personnel files, but he is also very grateful for Xu Baoshan's kind-hearted official accent and concealment.

Xu Baoshan was slightly stunned and said frankly: "There is no way. If it really doesn't work, I can call Secretary Peng and ask the Prefectural Committee to coordinate. But... My son, you have to think clearly. Once I call this phone, it will be difficult for you to go out again in your life. It is very difficult to do something in our commune. Your Uncle Xu has worked in the commune for 30 years but has not done anything big!"

Yang Shaozong smiled and said, "Secretary Xu, in fact, there are many big things to do in Qishan. Besides, who said you have not made great efforts to make a big career? Not to mention anything else, if Dayugou Bay in front of us can be filled into rice fields, even if it only has 4,000 acres of land, it can produce 6 million kilograms a year, and 60 million kilograms of grain in ten years. If the descendants keep farming, 600 million kilograms of grain in a hundred years."

"Hey!"

Xu Baoshan couldn't help laughing.

He didn't expect that Yang Shaozong could have such an enlightenment. He thought it was indeed different. In a flash, so many years passed, and that little boy became a college graduate.

Thinking of this, the hidden worries and guilt in his heart faded a little.

After a pause, Xu Baoshan said again: "My son, I missed this village but there is no store. If I fail to achieve results in our commune, don't regret it!"

Yang Shaozong replied with confidence: "I don't regret it. I have already thought it through and I have a very good plan!"

Xu Baoshan asked curiously: "What plan can I tell me if I can tell you?"

Yang Shaozong replied without hesitation: "Secretary, I want to set up a factory in the commune. Look, after the communes around us have been converted into townships, they all started to set up factories, including electronic tube factories, oil press factories, and feed factories. Which one does not make money? Although our commune also has a small coal mine and acre brick factory, it still cannot be compared with others."

Xu Baoshan nodded and said, "I want to open a new factory, but the indicators given by the county committee are strong. We have to pay 12 million kilograms of public grain to protect the commune. Otherwise, we must withdraw the community and build a township. We are not unable to pay, but we really have to pay the full amount. The members can't be hungry, but they may not be able to eat enough."

"well……!"

As he said this, Xu Baoshan became very heavy, and he continued with some reflection: "You Mr. Xu has been thinking recently that the grain output of several surrounding communes has increased a lot after implementing the joint contracting system. This is a real increase in productivity!"

"No!"

Yang Shaozong insisted decisively and firmly advised: "Secretary, we must persist. The contracting system and the commune system actually have their own benefits. The key is to give full play to the corresponding advantages of the two production relations."

Xu Baoshan said nothing for a moment, pondered in his mind for a while before asking, "What do you think?"

Yang Shaozong said: "The advantages of the household contract responsibility system are very clear. It not only solves the problem of inefficient production efficiency, guarantees each farmer's independent right to operate the land, reflects the idea of ​​more work and more income, but also limits the problem of land mergers and resale. However, it disperses farmers as a unit and loses the power of collective development, which is not conducive to the long-term and sustainable development of agricultural productivity. The commune system is just the opposite. As long as the problem of inefficient production efficiency can be solved, the commune system has very special advantages in the construction of large-scale water conservancy, large-scale breeding, agricultural science and technology promotion, rural education, medical care and public welfare. At least I think that if you want to achieve common prosperity, you still have to rely on the commune system."

As he said this, he also felt an indescribable sigh in his heart.

The commune system does have many special chronic diseases, such as private property rights, personal freedom and concentration of power, which all require further reform. Yang Shaozong has no say in how other regions should develop, but Qishan is definitely an exception.

Qishan first has a rich mining resources. As long as the coal mines can be developed in the name of collectives and communes without affecting the environment, Qishan people can have a very good starting capital.

If Qishan continues to be revoked and built a township, and coal mine resource development is carried out in the name of township enterprises, the final result will be destined to be a tragedy.

Xu Baoshan thought about Yang Shaozong's words, and after a while he sighed, "My son, if you don't have money, having this advantage is just a possibility!"

Yang Shaozong replied very normally: "There will always be money!"

Money is certainly not a problem for him. Even if he is not in a hurry to consider developing the coal mine resources in Qishan, as long as the commune now gives him 200,000 yuan in capital and 300 labor, he can earn 100 million yuan in profits for the commune within five years... This is still a conservative estimate.

I felt that Yang Shaozong had a very special self-confidence on this issue, so Xu Baoshan did not continue to talk and instead said: "My son, there are still many problems in the commune. Some problems are indeed difficult to rectify, especially the problem of low labor efficiency. The commune has also carried out several labor points reforms, but the effect is not ideal, and the degree of increase in grain output is limited."

Found that Xu Baoshan was not as firm as he expected, Yang Shaozong decided not to discuss the factory for the time being.

He gathered his efforts to push the cart, thinking about countermeasures in his mind... He still wanted to persuade Xu Baoshan, the top leader of the commune, to continue to adhere to the commune system, develop and reform the commune economy, and lead the members to embark on the road of common prosperity.

After thinking for a moment in his mind, he and Xu Baoshan said, "Secretary, in fact, when I was studying in the city in the past few years, I have been thinking about the affairs of our commune. In my opinion, our commune does have four major problems, namely poverty, low productivity, egalitarianism and left-leaning thinking. In the final analysis, it is actually a problem, that is, left-leaning thinking. If we want to make the commune rich, we should adhere to the principles advocated by the central government, seek truth from facts, emancipate the mind, and liberate the labor enthusiasm of people as the main reform direction. As long as we can adhere to this direction, egalitarianism can be broken, low productivity will not be a problem, and poverty will not be a problem!"

"hehe!"

Xu Baoshan smiled with interest.

Xu Baoshan limped with Yang Shaozong. He could realize that Yang Shaozong was completely different from before. He did not waste his hard study in Huaihai Machinery College in the past few years. He did learn a lot. In terms of ideological quality, theoretical quality and political awareness, there was absolutely no other peers in Qishan!

He was happy about it.

Xu Baoshan was thinking about Yang Shaozong's words, but he couldn't help but feel a little excited and said, "Ji Zi, you are speaking like Secretary Peng of our Prefectural Committee. It sounds very clever, but it has no practical value. Ji Zi, if you really have a way to do a few tricks, the secretary will give you a great effort!"

Yang Shaozong simply stopped the cart, sat on it himself, and laughed at Xu Baoshan, "Secretary, don't say it, I really have a trick. Secretary, let's just say that. As long as the problem of low labor efficiency can be solved, the commune economy will definitely have more development potential than the household contract system. If you want to solve the low labor efficiency, you must first break the egalitarianism. The trick I gave you is the responsibility work point system."

"Responsible work points system?"

When Xu Baoshan saw the meat, he was really interested. He also sat on the cart together, lit a pot of dry tobacco again, and said to Yang Shaozong: "Continue, break it apart, crush it, and say goodbye to the secretary!"

Yang Shaozong explained: "The responsibility work points system is responsibility contracting and scoring by quantity. We give each brigade a responsibility field area. On this basis, each production team is responsible for 500 to 1,000 acres of fields. Each production team under the production team is re-planned and divided into three levels of groups by age, gender, and physical strength, and is responsible for various different tasks. In the planning of the responsibility work points system, the commune divides a basic quantity for each acre of responsibility field, such as 1,300 kilograms of grain per acre, and all exceeds this standard will be distributed internally by the responsible production team.

For each production team, a fixed work points are allocated according to the workload assigned each time. For example, the weeds that pull out a mu of land is 200 work points. No matter how much time and how many people do this production team take, there are only so many work points. According to the number of responsible fields and actual conditions of each brigade, a maximum work points indicator is given. At most, there are so many work points per year. The excess part is the responsibility of the production team itself. If there is a savings, a certain reward will be given to cadres based on the specific effect, and so on. The same is true for each production team!"

Xu Baoshan couldn't help but be stunned and even forgot to light the dry tobacco.

After careful consideration, he felt that the responsibility and work points system was good, and he solved several of the most troublesome problems in one go.

There are two levels of work points for commune work points, one is the commune and the other is the production brigade. Because all the final work points must be summarized into the commune, each production brigade will give itself more work points, and turn a blind eye to the situation of the members working hard.

Although Yang Shaozong's responsibility work points system is adopted, all work points still need to be summarized and calculated in the commune, there is a big restriction on each production brigade and production squad.

Using the responsibility work points system to deal with low production efficiency and grinding is a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause, but it is enough.

Xu Baoshan then lit the dry tobacco and sighed to Yang Shaozong: "Yi Zi, your responsibility and work points system is awesome. However, the more productive parts of the responsibility fields of each production team belong to the team themselves, which is probably not very good! Besides, this is not much different from contracting to individuals. Maybe someone will take the opportunity to distribute all the fields of the commune!"

Yang Shaozong persuaded: "Secretary, the difference here is of course very big. What we need to do now is to liberate people's enthusiasm for labor and ensure the principle of collective management. The yield per mu in our commune in recent years is only more than 1,600 kilograms. If everyone's enthusiasm can be stimulated, each mu can be increased to 1,700 kilograms, or even 1,800 kilograms, the production team can rely on the more grain produced by the responsible fields within the production team to solve the living rations of most laborers. Besides, as long as the members can increase their income, isn't this a good thing?"

"That's what I said!"

Xu Baoshan admitted this truth, and the problem is that there is no previous example for the reform of the responsibility work-point system. If it is screwed up, the commune will have to accept the request of the county party committee to abolish the community and build a township.

Thinking of this, Xu Baoshan's mood became heavier.

At this time, Yang Shaozong was also thinking about Xu Baoshan's thoughts. He felt that Xu Baoshan still could not truly accept the three basic principles of "emancipating the mind, liberating productivity, and liberating people's labor enthusiasm."

Yang Shaozong simply changed a path and said to Xu Baoshan: "Secretary, now the Prefectural Committee and the County Committee are not only advocating the withdrawal of the community and the township, but also promoting the withdrawal of the township and the township. Once our Qishan Commune is withdrawn into Qishan Township, it will definitely merge with Qihe Township and Huangji Township later. Think about it, Qihe Township has Qihe Winery, a state-owned large factory. What benefits can we get from merging with them? You mean that you will retire when you retire, but when you retire, what should we do if we Qishan people do? Let the people in Qihe Township manage the good fruits of our Qishan people? Maybe others eat meat, we can't even drink a sip of hot soup, right?"
