Chapter 573: Orphans and Widows Trigger New Policies for Agricultural Reform (II)
When there is no famine, these grain reserves can be distributed to the members of the mutual aid cooperatives on a regular basis or after reaching a certain amount, but they must be reviewed and approved by the local county government before distribution, so as to ensure that the stored grain can cope with a possible famine.
In the event of a famine, these reserve grains will be used as the first batch of relief grains and distributed to the families of the affected members as soon as possible.
When the mutual aid cooperatives are not affected by the disaster, but there are villages in the adjacent areas that are affected, these reserve grains can be purchased by the county government at the market price, and the mutual aid cooperatives can choose to sell or not to sell them at their own discretion.
In the future, when the mutual aid cooperatives are affected by disasters and there is not enough food, the county government must give priority to allocating food to help such mutual aid cooperatives. If it is not sold, the county government will naturally have the right to allocate relief and allocation when it is affected by disasters and lack of self-reliance in the future......
If the families of the members of the mutual aid cooperatives have a surplus and do not keep it for their own storage, the mutual aid cooperatives will coordinate with the lizheng and the chief of the guarantee to collect and sell them in a unified manner.
The cooperatives shall not take more than 5/1,000 of the money they receive as the normal maintenance fund of the mutual aid cooperative. The rest must be distributed back to the members' families in a timely manner.
Whoever dares to intercept it will be regarded as greedy ink and severely punished.
After five to eight years, there will be no longer Baozheng and Li Chang in rural areas. At the village level, the head of the cooperative is the main one, and at the town level, a large cooperative is established, with the president as the main member.
In the future, whether it is official businessmen, official supervisors, commercial offices, or non-governmental grain banks, and other purchasing banks that go to the rural areas to purchase grain, they can choose to purchase grain directly from peasant households, and mutual aid cooperatives must not obstruct or interfere in order to ensure the interests of peasant households.
However, if profiteers and black-hearted businessmen want to maliciously lower prices to the detriment of peasant households, the mutual aid cooperatives and cooperatives in villages and towns must come forward to ensure the interests of local villagers.
Whoever dares to sit idly by will be regarded as dereliction of duty and severely punished.
In all villages where there are mutual aid cooperatives, in the future, large livestock such as cattle and horses used for farming will be purchased, managed and used by the mutual aid cooperatives. Large agricultural tools, such as canals and ploughs, are also centrally managed and repaired by mutual aid cooperatives.
Since it is necessary to carry out unified management and repair. It is inevitable that some expenses will be incurred every year. Therefore, each member family must pay a certain amount of social furniture retention money at the autumn harvest every year.
However, the basic principle of this retention is not to exceed five thousandths of the annual grain produced by each household.
Whoever dares to overcharge will be regarded as perverting the law and severely punished.
It is certainly impossible for the grain storage of the village mutual aid cooperatives to be as convenient and safe as the official warehouses and reserve depots that are now being built with counties as the basic units in various parts of the country.
In order to avoid the mutual aid cooperatives from storing grain on their own, losses are caused by poor management. The official warehouse reserve of each county shall be summarized and reported to the household department according to the number of acres of local fields on the basis of the current preset. Expand its scale.
The purpose of this is that in the future, when the mutual aid cooperatives in various localities are unable to ensure that the grain storage is not damaged, they can rent the official warehouse to store grain at a reserve cost of up to 5/1,000.
Whoever dares to conceal the number of acres of land, and who dares to deceive and abuse power for personal gain when the mutual aid cooperatives go to rent warehouses, will be severely punished.
Returning to the starting point, Liu Xing frowned again after saying this, looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, and immediately made additions.
When joining the mutual aid cooperatives, the military merit fields and pension fields in various places should be increased by 20%. This is done because too many military fields and pension fields are actually no longer able to have strong laborers to work with other members.
The strong labor of those families who sacrificed their lives for the country enabled the other families of the mutual aid society to farm and live a prosperous life.
Be grateful. The people did not have spontaneous gratitude, so the imperial court imposed this "military martyr's grace" system through mutual aid societies to ensure that the bereaved families of martyrs would no longer suffer poverty or even starve because they could not fully cultivate their fields without strong labor.
When she heard Liu Xing say these regulations, the woman was already very sure that the young man in front of her was the legendary miraculous prime minister Liu Xing, who beat the golden dog in the Wutai Mountain generation, killed the golden soldiers, and the chickens jumped and the dogs jumped, and the army was defeated.
Before Liu Xing's words fell, she immediately pulled the child and knelt at Liu Xing's feet, crying and shouting: "Liu Xiangguo is sincerely for the people, sincerely for the country, long live Liu Xiangguo, long live, long live, long live......
Banzai! As soon as she heard the woman shouting like this, Liang Xing and Yanling who were standing on the side. Lei Zhen, who was writing the book, was all shocked, and at the same time locked his eyes on Liu Xing's body.
Hooray, what's that called? That's a title that only an emperor can deserve.
A village woman, on the street, shouted long live to the prime minister of the dynasty. Originally, the world has been haunting the King Kang of the Southern Dynasty, and he said to Liu Xing, "Today's Mengde?" If Liu Xing really responded to the call of "long live", it would be difficult for the general to go out and turn over again.
Who is Liu Xing? Of course, I won't be caught up in such a small crisis.
"The real long live is not the people, but the people of the world." Just smiling faintly, Liu walked forward.
While pulling the mother and son up from the ground, Liu Xing continued on his lips: "No single person is worthy of the title of long live. Even if it is the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Those who really deserve this title are the people of our Han nation for generations. Without the people, there is no prosperity of these thousands of miles. There are no people, and there are no stable rivers and mountains for ten thousand years. So big lady, it's not me who really lives it. It's you and other ordinary people like that. ”
As he spoke, Liu Xing pulled the mother and son up from the ground.
Then he continued with a smile: "The king regards the people as the sky, and the people regard food as the sky. Those who can know the heavens are the ones who can know the sky. All I do is do for everyone to have enough to eat and eat well. Food is the sky, the people are the sky, and the king and I and other officials cannot be the sky. So big lady, long live you, I really can't afford it, I can't afford it! ”
The king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky. This sentence is recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", when Li Shiqi said it to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
Li Shimin's sentence "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat", Liu Xing has always firmly believed in his heart that it is a comprehension obtained from reading history books, and it is just plagiarizing the thoughts of the first eunuch and taking it out for renovation and use.
But whether it is Sima Qian, Li Shimin, or Na Li Shiqi's words, it has always been the truth that Liu Xing firmly believes. The world of those who win the hearts of the people was the first to be said by Mencius, and it is also one of the few wise sayings that Liu Xing can truly accept from the sage.
Any truth is only true if it can be accepted. Liu Xing, who firmly believes in the truth, after helping the mother and son, set his eyes on the two girls again. (To be continued.) )
