Prior to the introduction of state-owned farms, Roland promoted the introduction of the Land and Resources Act, which nationalized all the ownerless wasteland in the Far East, and most of this wasteland would become arable land reserves for state-owned farms, which could be cleared at any time as long as sufficient labor was available.

State-owned farms and local governments are both "national brands", and the internal approval process of the system is faster, and part of the land purchase price can be offset in the form of tax rebate subsidies; In contrast, private farms do not receive these benefits, and the cost of cultivating the same wasteland is higher than that of state-owned farms, and the yield of crops per acre is smaller, which is not a good business in the market.

"In the long run, the state-owned farms will inevitably monopolize the plantation industry in the Far East, squeeze private capital out of the plantation industry and drive it into the industrial and commercial fields where the profits are more lucrative than the plantation industry, and complete a complete transformation of the economic structure of the whole country, from a traditional agricultural country with a small-scale peasant economy to a new industrial country, and in the process of this transformation, agriculture itself is also transforming in the direction of 'industrialization', rather than simply sacrificing agriculture for industrial blood transfusion." Roland concluded.

Valentina listened attentively. While listening, I deduced in my mind whether the system designed by Roland would have unexpected drawbacks in operation.

If you simply compare the level of intelligence, Roland is far inferior to the legendary golden dragon in front of him. Valentina has both superb intelligence and rich life experience, and her brain is like a biological computer, loading and running the program designed by Roland, huh? Looks like you've caught a "bug"!

"My dear, I have to admit that the rural system you designed is almost perfect, taking care of all aspects of rural life, but it is precisely because you think too carefully that it will bury hidden dangers."

"Valyusha, tell me more about what kind of hidden dangers there will be? Now I hear you point it out, and we still have time to improve. Roland humbly asked Sister Jinlong for advice.

"If the system you envision can be realized, then the rural communes in the Far East are so beautiful that ordinary farmers can live without food and clothing, what motivation do people have to change the status quo? Rural children are very satisfied with their hometowns, and they will not have the motivation to go to the city to earn a living, and in the long run, I am really worried that the villages and towns of the Far East will be divided into two separate worlds. Valentina grimaced.

Roland listened to her concerns and laughed instead.

"Sister Valyusha, what you are worried about will not happen, I have designed not only a set of rural systems isolated from the towns, but the pursuit of 'dynamic balance between urban and rural areas', where the countryside and the towns will not be separated, but will also enhance exchanges with the progress of the times, promote each other, and become more and more closely integrated."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Valentina raised her hand and asked Roland to make a further argument.

Since the topic of discussion is "dynamic equilibrium between urban and rural areas", it is first necessary to explain "dynamics" clearly.

Anyone with basic knowledge of physics knows that if you want to change the motion of an object, you have to apply an external force to it. In the field of political economy, there are also laws similar to the above-mentioned common sense of mechanics. The exchange of goods, services and labour between the two economies is due to the fact that both economies have some degree of comparative advantage over the other.

It's a bit of an obscure way to describe this question in academic terms. Roland first used David Ricardo's famous example of "Portuguese wine and English wool" to tell Vallengina what comparative advantage is, but she always finds it difficult to convey the meaning in words, and the old saying of the ancients is more accurate: the ruler is short, the inch is long.

Returning to the original question, if we look at urban and rural areas as two economies, if the two sides want to have economic exchanges, they should each have a comparative advantage.

At first, Roland naively thought that there was no need to say much about the advantages of towns over towns, and focused on introducing Valentina to the advantages of villages over towns.

"The village communes benefited from the 'faith dividend' of the pastor Sindra, the Green Druids and the village sheriffs, and were able to establish a comprehensive system of free medical care and pension insurance before the towns, and the elderly or disabled were provided with basic living security by the pension fund created by the farm management committee - the greatest advantage of this was to help the rural youth share the responsibility of caring for the elderly, so that the children were no longer tied to their parents, and the young people were provided with the convenience of going to the city to pursue their dreams, If a young rural person wants to venture into the city, he can temporarily mortgage his shares in the local farm to the farm management committee, such as three or five years, in exchange for a sum of money as a start-up capital to move into the city. ”

"Secondly, the village communes will also establish free compulsory education before the towns, with Pastor Sindra also serving as a village teacher to provide four years of basic education for village children over the age of eight, and the Green Druids will also be able to offer courses such as natural knowledge, agricultural production, and animal husbandry techniques, and textbooks on arithmetic, literacy, geography, history, law, and politics will be developed by the Ministry of Education."

At the education reform conference, Roland made two suggestions to Merlin on the arrangement of teaching materials: one is to pay attention to patriotic education, and the other is to pay attention to natural knowledge and practical skills.

"You said that these are the advantages of the rural commune over the town, which makes me even more worried that the countryside will become a magnet for the inflow of people from the towns, and those who are not happy in the city will flock to the village commune, so that the countryside will grow, but the towns will gradually become deserted because of the loss of population." Valentina shook her head slightly, "If this happens, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

Roland smiled slightly: "Sister Valyusha, even if the situation you said becomes a reality, and all the city dwellers are attracted to the countryside, there is nothing to worry about, because the countryside will evolve into new towns as the population continues to expand." ”

Valentina was stunned for a moment, and then blamed herself for holding her forehead and murmuring: "That's really the case, why didn't I think of such a simple answer......"

Valentina is not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, and her knowledge system also has blind spots, and occasionally she encounters situations where her brain can't turn around, and Roland doesn't think there's anything to blame for this. If he wasn't a time-traveler favored by the goddess of fate, who had lived on Earth for twenty years and understood another civilization system that was different from Varess, what qualifications did he have to show off his cleverness in front of the legendary golden dragon?

"Sister Valyusha, you belong to the 'wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts', and I am just a 'fool has a thousand thoughts and an occasional gain', so there is no need to feel that I have suffered any blows." Roland took Sister Jinlong's hand and smiled.
