1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"Brother! The village chief is calling you!"

"The village chief is calling for brother? I don't know what's going on?"

"You won't ask your brother to come up with another idea, will you?"...

The village committee is on the side of the central avenue of Jiangbei Village. The old village chief just shouted, and after a few girls heard it, they were very curious and talked a lot.

They believed that the old village chief came to find his brother because the village encountered some problems.

Why do you think so?

Haven't seen some village representatives gathered inside and outside the village committee's compound!

These people, Wang Qiang's four brothers and sisters can call out their names one by one.

Without it, there are mainly more than 100 people here, who are basically the backbone of the village. They help the village committee and support all aspects of Jiangbei Village.

"I'll go."

Wang Qiang was also a little puzzled. He quickly stopped the car, turned to his sisters and said, "I think the village chief has something to do with me. Don't get out of the car. Just wait for me here, and I'll be back when I go."

After saying that, Wang Qiang got off the tricycle and strode towards the old village chief who was walking towards him.

"Aqiang, have you come back from the city?"

The old village chief smiled and greeted Wang Qiang, who had just come to him.

Without waiting for Wang Qiang to reply, he said, "Well, it's like this..."

"Although most people in the village are now engaged in building new houses and running the three factories in the village, there are still three or four thousand old people and children, and they usually have nothing to do."

"Although after the summer harvest, the materials in our village will be rapidly enriched, but it is estimated that apart from paying public grain and some miscellaneous fees, and apart from the daily living expenses of the villagers, there is not much money left for each household."

"The main reason for this is that the three new large-scale building materials factories in the village have only input but no income."

"Moreover, the red bricks, lime, and glazed tiles produced by the three building materials factories are just enough for the large-scale construction of our village. At least this year, they cannot be sold for money."

"Our village committee discussed with these key members of the village, and felt that the surplus labor in the village should not be wasted."

"Those are women and children in their early 3000s. It's a waste of labor to sit idle."

He said some plans of the village committee, "Aqiang, as you know, our village has a lot of fields and wasteland."

"Only the collective wasteland that has not been developed, plus some shorter mountains, can raise a large number of large livestock."

"So, our village committee studied it and planned to formulate this year's collective farming campaign. At worst, it can provide enough animal power for this year's summer and autumn harvests."

"It is very possible that after raising a large number of pigs, cattle and sheep, after producing economic benefits, a large source of funds will be obtained to solve the current financial shortage in the village."

The old village chief said the arrangement agreed by the village committee and the backbone of the village, "We, Jiangbei Village, are going to build three large livestock farms on the 10,000-mu wasteland around Shizi Mountain."

"These three livestock farms will raise pigs, cattle and sheep respectively, and by the way, they will solve the work of the thousands of elderly people in the village and increase the foundation of each household."

"Every family has a share in these three large livestock farms, and no family will be left behind. The same is true for your family."

"Anyway, it's like picking it up for nothing. The purpose is to let the more than 3,000 old people in the village have something to do so they won't be bored."

"Our village has all the conditions for building three large livestock farms, except for some cement, which must be purchased from the county's cement factory, and no other building materials need to be purchased."

"We have the materials, and the manpower is inexhaustible. Three large livestock farms can be built easily and put into use, and it will take at most ten days and a half months."

Having said this, the old village chief stated his purpose for stopping Wang Qiang, "But buying livestock and poultry is not that easy."

"Our tea city and the two nearby counties have only one large livestock and poultry trading market. The livestock and poultry trading market is at the junction of the three county towns including the tea city: Stone Town."

"The problem is that this time, it's not easy for every family in the village to raise money to buy a large number of pigs, cattle and sheep. Plus people are out of town, it's easy to lose money!"

"You have a flexible mind and act decisively. I would like to ask you, together with the cadres of the village committee leading the team, to assist in the purchase of pigs, cattle and sheep in Stone Town."

"This large sum of money is the last fund that the villagers in our village can collect! In case of any mistakes in Stone Town, our Jiangbei Village cannot afford it."

"Although the number of pigs, cattle and sheep purchased by the village from Stone Town is not large, there are only a few hundred at a time. If there are more, everyone will not be able to get that much money."

"But we mainly purchase female animals and a small amount of majestic male animals. When we come back, we will let the elderly and children at home in the village take good care of them and let them reproduce in large numbers. In two years, the number will increase sharply."

"Anyway, we have a lot of collective land in Jiangbei Village. If it's a big deal, we will take another 10,000 mu of wasteland and build a collective farm to grow corn and sweet potatoes."

"In the future, all the output of this farm will be used to provide the consumption of grains for the three large farms."

"It's not a big deal. Our Jiangbei Village can afford it. No matter how many animals there are, we're not afraid."

This is true.

The old village chief was right. There is not much else in Jiangbei Village, except that there are many people, fields, mountains and forests.

This kind of super-large village, even if it is placed in the whole province, is also ranked first.

"In order to accommodate the more than 3,000 elderly people and idle children in the village, will three large-scale breeding farms be established?"

Wang Qiang was stunned when he heard it, but he recovered immediately and said, "This is a good thing! A great good thing!"

It is indeed a good thing. In this way, Jiangbei Village in the future will once again take a step ahead of the times.

Why do so many farms in later generations often close down or lose money, even if the economic benefits are good, they will repeatedly toss back and forth between profit and loss?

The real reason is that it does not have the ability to resist risks.

In the world of later generations, after capital controls all aspects of people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., it is strange that small and medium-sized breeding industries without risk resistance are not tossed by capital.

However, the aquaculture industry in Jiangbei Village, which is a collective group, is different.

First of all, this is a large-scale farm set up by the village itself, which is related to the interests of thousands of households, and the government does not dare to give orders, let alone some behind the scenes, do not want to intervene.

Moreover, Jiangbei Village is so large and there are so many villagers. Even if the livestock raised on the farm are self-produced and sold, it is also a good anti-risk ability.

Moreover, this large-scale farm has solved the work problems of the elderly and children in the village and some idlers who have nothing to do, and provide the bottom line for every household.

Therefore, what those capitals are most afraid of is this kind of large-scale farming and planting in villages and collectives that can be completely out of their control.

Can't sell it, can it?

it is good! We will not sell it first, we will produce and sell ourselves!

Let me drop the price, okay? Roll rough! Go back where you came from!

Lao Tzu often distributes some of this green and pollution-free livestock and poultry meat and agricultural products to every household in the village to enrich the villagers' vegetable baskets.

Eat it yourself, isn't it delicious?

It doesn't matter if you earn less this year! We eat well!

The less money you have, the less you need to use it, as long as your quality of life is not reduced.

What's more, don't you need money to buy these things at ordinary times?

There are often free supplies in the village, so the villagers naturally don’t have to go out to buy them, doesn’t that mean they are making money?

It is this kind of large-scale farms and planting bases that are collectivized in villages and towns, with a super self-circulation model, that capital will be helpless.

Wang Qiang couldn't imagine that, under his butterfly effect, the villagers of Jiangbei Village would once again take a very solid step and be at the forefront of the times, even though they were fooling around a few times.
