Chapter 503 The problem of farmers is very troublesome
Later generations of China also adjusted their wages. The fastest wage growth occurred a thousand years later. The salary of ordinary teachers soared from about five to six hundred yuan to more than three thousand yuan in 2010.
However, although wages in China are growing very fast, due to the abolition of welfare systems such as welfare housing allocation, this increase in wages is just enough to pay the down payment or installment payment for a house.
Even before Zao Wou-Ki was reborn, some people were still settling accounts. For example, a salaryman in Donghai, earning 20,000 yuan a month, could not afford a house with a minimum price of 40,000 yuan per square meter. In fact, even in Donghai, a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan is quite enough.
The salary is high. Who among ordinary teachers or employees can get a monthly salary of 20,000?
In the past, Zhao Wuji would not have had such thoughts, but after his rebirth, Zhao Wuji was indeed a little different.
First of all, he found that in China in his previous life, wage increases were "forced", that is, when prices had risen enough, or wages in certain industries were too low, policies were introduced to adjust wages. Instead, they only introduced a capital adjustment policy, and wages were still low.
Without getting it, prices began to rise sharply again
Secondly, in the past life, China seemed to have deliberately maintained a trend of rising prices. The reason for this was that some countries used investment to stimulate growth. At the same time, high savings made the officials a little worried. Rising prices are conducive to regulating savings figures.
Thirdly, the direct producers did not get enough benefits from the price increase in the previous life. For example, for vegetables, the winter melons grown by farmers did not even cost a cent a pound. However, in some places, the retail winter melons were sold for 4
Yuan per pound is the price of the winter melon Xingchen is eating now.
In addition, the rise in prices will not affect the privileged class such as officials. Their wages are "basically unchanged" and they do not feel the threat of prices. Only the civilian working class who have to go out to buy three meals a day to eat are truly
suffered deeply from it
Zhao Wuji felt that since he was reborn, and he had real influence on China, China might not be able to come to China and eat grain like the United States.
Americans dare to raise the welfare of their citizens to extremely high levels, but the government is burdened with debt payments. Putting aside other factors, the fundamental reason is that the U.S. government truly puts the interests of the people first.
Of course, the United States has many favorable conditions. As the most developed country in the world, the United States has premium benefits from science and technology. As the world trade settlement currency, the rice dollar is equivalent to the whole world paying for the U.S. government.
However, after the Chinese currency became stronger in later generations, the Chinese people did not get enough benefits from the increase in currency value. This also shows that the role of the dollar in the US government is not that big, and it mainly depends on domestic policies.
In fact, China's rising wages do not require Yin Chimao Liang at all. Firstly, China's wage level is very low and its total wage is not large. Secondly, China's economic growth in the past two years has been quite strong.
The actual benefits China has gained from China's economic exchanges have exceeded 200 billion US dollars, at least 1.2 trillion Huaxia coins. Of course, if settled in Yuandao currency, this number will be much lower, only more than 0 billion Yuandao coins.
In addition, although China's expenditures have also increased a lot, most of them are construction projects. As long as the projects are completed, China will enjoy the benefits. As for pure expenditures such as military expenses, China not only has not increased, but has declined.
Being able to significantly adjust the wages of the Chinese people shows that the Chinese leadership has listened to his "suggestions", which makes Zhao Wou-ki very feeling of accomplishment. However, Zhao Wou-ki's series of ideas about Chinese farmers have suffered setbacks and only some of the suggestions have been adopted.
And it is achieved in installments, similar to installment payment
The first suggestion is that if the issue of agricultural taxes and farmers' burden is calculated in absolute numbers, the per capita burden on farmers in China is not high at this time. Calculating 100 million farmers in the country, it can only increase the income by 0 billion yuan. However, the Chinese government cannot squeeze out
This 0 billion yuan in cash; in addition, even if the farmers in China do not pay this 100 yuan, it will at most alleviate the farmers' suffering. It is completely impossible to make a fortune with this.
Therefore, based on this suggestion, the Chinese government decided to use four years to lift all the burdens on farmers, and also promised to provide farmers with appropriate subsidies for farming from the fifth year onwards.
In fact, Zao Wou-Ki has done quite in-depth research on farmers' problems before. The poverty of farmers is not closely related to agriculture, but has a lot to do with the low market participation of farmers themselves.
The most thorough social division of labor in China is that of farmers. Many farmers have been farmers for generations and have never participated in business activities. Even if they have, they carry vegetables from their own plots to the market to sell. From the first few cents a
A pound will cost one or two yuan a pound in later generations. However, any farmer in later generations who is willing to work on a construction site or help other people’s homes and take care of food and shelter can almost earn hundreds of yuan a day. Therefore, vegetable sellers
That hundreds of yuan, so to speak as income from the fields, is better said to be his day's labor income.
Low market participation and low degree of intensive production have led to a sharp decline in land income
From this perspective, if Chinese farmers want to make a fortune by farming, the fundamental way is to pool the land of each household and conduct intensive management to create economies of scale; while the remaining labor force is
If a large number of immigrants migrate to cities and transfer industries, if they can reach the level of the United States, that is, with 2% of the country's agricultural population, 100% of the population of the United States can be fed, this will be the time when Chinese farmers are truly developed.
China has also experienced considerable "pains" in the transfer of farmers' industries. At first, farmers moved into cities, which brought vitality to the cities; but soon, farmers' move into cities also brought troubles to the cities. Moreover, due to policy barriers,
, it is also difficult for farmers to integrate into the city, which has caused a series of problems related to "migrant workers"
Later, China had a conscious concept of urbanization, encouraging farmers to work in cities and buy houses. Various policies began to loosen, creating conditions for farmers to move into cities. However, the pain was already caused, and the social atmosphere was difficult to reverse. China has also been suffering from this.
price
Zhao Wuji saw this problem, and he saw it very deeply, but at this time, Zhao Wuji had no good solution. If such a huge population suddenly poured into the city, the city would not be able to support them. The farmers moving into the city would basically not be able to support them.
Depends on the urban economy and the accommodation scale of industry and tertiary industry for rural labor force
However, Zao Wou-Ki's suggestions have also been adopted for local and partial problems that cannot be solved fundamentally.
Since Huaxia has more construction projects than the same period in history, Zhao Wuji suggested implementing a "work-for-relief" system in rural areas to provide work-for-relief. Huaxia also has it, but during the implementation process, it did not bring benefits to farmers, but instead brought benefits to farmers.
is a burden
The basic meaning of relief is work-for-relief, that is, when there is no money to hand over, labor can be used to offset the money that should be turned over. This is the original meaning of work-for-relief. There is indeed nothing wrong with doing this in the old times.
However, society's "relief for work" should have another meaning: that is, your family is really poor and too poor to open up the blame. It seems not good for the government to directly give you money. Now the government will give you a way to survive. If you are willing
Go and do it. After doing the work well, you can receive the corresponding salary. This salary is equivalent to helping you.
And Zao Wuji believes that this meaning has real vitality in society. Otherwise, if it is implemented according to the meaning of the old times, where will the meaning of society be? Or, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, this kind of work-based thinking has real vitality.
Relief has also been implemented. For example, the government asked the refugees to build water conservancy projects and gave them a few bowls of rice every day.
Zao Wou-Ki's "relief for work" concept, after the system's "program optimization" function, is extremely operable. China's water conservancy projects all over the country, road and bridge renovations across urban and rural areas, and environmental sanitation in cities and towns across the country, etc., are all
It needs to be promoted by the government. When the government takes the lead, professional issues can be left to professionals, but some non-professional tasks can be left to nearby farmers.
Although the later migrant workers actually did these things, it was a market method and a spontaneous situation. If the government actively promoted it, it would not only be a moral project of the government, but also find a way to increase the income of Chinese farmers.
It is not that Zhao Wuji has never thought about Fengshan’s experience. The promotion of Fengshan’s experience should have good results, but the prerequisite is that the market must be activated. For example, the Fengshan Dried Tofu Cooperative has completely made a time difference and formed in the market in advance.
Effect and reputation In fact, after Fengshan, many towns and villages saw the business opportunities in it. However, the effects of similar institutions they set up were not obvious, or they could do it in a small way, but it was difficult to make a big fortune.
In addition, the same principle applies to the delicacies of Fengshan. The artificial fungus of later generations has a large output and has formed an important industry in China. However, it also depends on the cultivation of the market and the farmers who grow fungus can only form
Only when you reach a certain scale and become a so-called large farmer in the breeding and breeding industry can you get corresponding benefits. Otherwise, you might as well go out to work.
There is a suggestion that Zao Wou-Ki thinks he made very well, and that is the land issue. Zhao Wu-Ki's suggestion is that farmers' land should be used as contracted land, or as collective land. Once it becomes commercial land, the premium part of it should be fully taken into account.
"Dividend" ratio, rather than forcibly purchasing from farmers for thousands of dollars per acre
Perhaps only Zao Wuji in this world understands that at this time, farmers received several thousand yuan from selling an acre of land, which seemed to be a lot of wealth; but because the farmers were not good at management, these thousands of yuan were either spent on drinking.
Or use it to play cards. Soon, this group of people will become "landless farmers" in a complete sense, living with no one to rely on.
In fact, when building commercial housing or related urban facilities in any city, there will be a large number of scattered ancillary commercial facilities. The construction cost of these commercial facilities is very low, but the "dividends" of these facilities are enough to support the family.
