Chapter 113: The Great Harvest of the Nanyao Brigade
"Then let's go back to the brigade quickly."
The two set off immediately, taking the shuttle bus first, and when they arrived at Yuntai Commune, the people from the brigade were waiting. With their bicycles ready, they got on the back seat and rushed to the brigade.
On the way, Yan Dongming told Lin Xiaoguang the situation.
When they arrived at the brigade, they saw people from the commune. Not long after, Secretary Hong Shan of the commune led a large group of leaders from the commune. The ones at the front were the leaders from the county. Lin Xiaoguang took a closer look and immediately To my surprise, it turns out that one of them is Li Jicheng.
"Brother Dongming, don't be nervous. The situation won't be much worse. Director Li and my grandfather are quite familiar with each other." He secretly said to Yan Dongming.
Yan Dongming immediately felt relieved.
Some people wondered why Yan Dongming looked like he was facing a formidable enemy despite the brigade's good harvest, because the household quota system in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County was leaked, causing an uproar.
In fact, it was not leaked during the autumn harvest season in July. It was known to people in the spring, and it was the neighboring production team.
Xiaogang Village was a later name, but it is not called by this name now. The village with household quota was only a production team under the brigade, with only eighteen households.
The brigade headquarters, later known as the village committee, knew about this and began to cause trouble for the organizers.
Within a few days, the news reached the communes, that is, the towns and villages. The secretary, director and others of the communes were also deeply aware of the seriousness of the problem. They organized the organizers and either detained them or asked them to confess and tell the truth.
After that, the secretary who understood the specific situation went directly to the county and reported the situation to the county secretary.
After Secretary Chen knew about it, he came to Xiaogang Village to inspect and found that the household quota was indeed implemented. He sighed and finally gave instructions to let Xiaogang Village work until autumn and hold on until the autumn harvest. If the results were not good, then take it back.
Before it reached autumn, the matter of household responsibility quotas in Xiaogang Village was leaked to the higher authorities. Secretary Chen could no longer withstand the pressure, so he called Xiaogang Village and instructed them to merge the allocated land.
Then, Secretary Yan of the prefectural committee came to Xiaogang Village.
The secretary of the prefectural committee came and went, and then Secretary Wan from the province also came and left.
Now, the autumn harvest has finally arrived. Xiaogang Village's total grain output has soared from 36,000 jins last year to 180,000 jins this year, an increase of nearly six times, while the per capita income has jumped from 22 yuan last year to 180,000 jins this year. This year’s 400 yuan.
Last year's plenary session communiqué only stated that the people's communes must resolutely implement a three-level ownership, team-based system, and maintain stability.
Therefore, whether it is a household-based system or a group-based system, it is against the regulations.
Xiaogang Village, as a representative of household-based production quotas, has undoubtedly suffered a huge impact. Shannan District, Xixiang County, Luzhou, which also belongs to Jianghuai Province, has also implemented household-based production quotas.
The people who had the household responsibility system were all Jianghuai people. Jianghuai people had a tradition of being courageous. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, a commoner, dared to rebel.
In the past, there were household quotas and gullies, and right at the foot of the emperor, in Huairou County, Peking, the brigade under a commune in a mountainous area had no flat land, so they had to look for ravines.
They built dam steps and built terraces, and the arable land per household expanded from six to seven acres to 30 acres. Not counting seasonal fruits and vegetables, the grain output alone increased from 700 kilograms in 1964 to 1979. It increased more than 21 times from 16,000 kilograms last year. Last year, a ditch owned by one family also produced 18,000 kilograms of various dried and fresh fruits. The family also sold three fat pigs.
This year's harvest is greater than in previous years.
Peking's Dongmaowan brigade's household-based policies are based on households, not groups. The same bold rural reforms have also been impacted by all aspects.
The situation of the Nanyao Brigade of Yuntai Commune is considered good. The production quota they have achieved is the only one left in Guanghan County, Xichuan Province.
The earliest ones started in 1976, Team 2 of the 5th Brigade of Xigao Commune started doing it. In 1977, Team 9 of Liangshui Brigade of Jinyu Commune followed suit. By 1978, the entire Jinyu Commune started doing it.
Last winter, Jinyu Commune implemented a production responsibility system and was reported in the People's Daily.
In the front, there is Xiaogang Village's household-based production guarantee system blocking the front, in the middle there is the Dongmaowan Brigade, which guarantees household production, and in the back there is the entire Jinyu Commune's group responsible for the guaranteed production. Attention is focused on the front. The impact on the Nanyao Brigade is undoubtedly smallest.
But at least, it is only at the national level. In the entire Western Shaanxi Province, the Nanyao Brigade is the only one that has the responsibility to guarantee production to the group.
This is why the leaders of Yuntai Commune and Chang'an County came over immediately after the autumn harvest.
Ninety-six households with a population of 470. The original four production teams were divided into twelve production groups. Each group had about forty people. They were allocated less than 100 acres of land and received 60,000 yuan from the autumn harvest. pound of wheat.
The entire brigade’s twelve production groups harvested more than five to six hundred thousand catties.
Wheat, sun-dried wheat, does not contain moisture.
At the moment, Lin Bojun is organizing young men to build a granary. With so much grain, the brigade's warehouse and ordinary farmhouses are not enough to hold it.
At this moment, Wei Da, the county secretary and director of the county revolutionary committee, was listening to the report from brigade leader Lin Boyuan.
"This year, a production team harvested 150,000 jins of wheat. Calculated based on a ration of 660 jins per person, it is more than 77,000 jins. It has paid enough for the country's 1,800 jins of grain and left enough for the collective. It rained a lot.”
Everyone listening had extremely complicated expressions in their eyes, and the atmosphere was slightly strange.
Secretary Veda was born in the military and had a bad temper. Seeing that the granary was full and full of rat holes, he squatted down quietly and took a look, and said casually: "You have guaranteed the production to the group, and you really have a good harvest, haven't you?" "
"Secretary, we work in groups, with fixed production and fixed work, and rewards for exceeding production." Yan Dongming couldn't help but stepped forward to defend himself.
"Haha! Who do you think you can fool with this little trick?" Secretary Wei sneered.
Yan Dongming was not convinced and said: "Secretary, our brigade has established a collective enterprise, a brick and tile factory, and a pig farm. The brick and tile factory belongs to the brigade. It has built four kilns, one for each production team, and they have been fired in half a year. More than 1.3 million bricks were sold for 40,000. The piglets in the pig farm were divided into production groups, two in each production group, and now they weigh more than 100 kilograms. Would you like to go and take a look? "
"Huh?" When everyone heard this, they made calculations.
Forty thousand yuan is divided equally among the 470 people in the entire brigade, 85 yuan per person, which seems quite small, but this started in March, and it has only been four months now.
In this way, it will be 120,000 yuan a year, and each person will have 255 yuan, which is 21 yuan a month.
21 a month, which is slightly less than the number of workers in Chengli, but the difference is not much. Unlike before, when a farmer earned dozens of yuan a year, a few yuan a month was not even as much as a worker's fraction.
Otherwise, we would just say that the workers are good.
Hong Shan, the secretary of the commune, said: "Secretary, not to mention the pigs raised, plus the grain harvest this year, there is still a lot left, a little less than one or two hundred yuan a year, and there is still one person. In this way, one person I can earn another ten or twenty yuan a month, which adds up to at least forty yuan."
Hearing this, the people around him took a deep breath.
