In order to prevent more tribesmen from starving to death, he made a very bold decision, which was to let everyone expand their private plots.

In a nutshell, plant whatever crops are easy to grow and can fill your stomach.

Because he was worried about being reported by others, he relaxed this policy to apply to all farmers in the brigade.

If someone lets it out because he or she is not careful enough, everyone will be in trouble.

As for why the wasteland was not reclaimed and collective planting was carried out, he could only say that he was worried.

In this era, farmers' enthusiasm is actually not that high.

Moreover, many people are so hungry that they don’t even have the strength to work. Do we have to let those who are able to do so reclaim the wasteland and then distribute the food they grow equally to everyone?

Who would be willing to do this?

The newly reclaimed wasteland is not fertile to begin with. If everyone doesn’t pay attention to it, will we still be able to harvest crops when the time comes?

What's more, the Sun family was the one that was in a relatively good situation at that time. He would never do something that would make his family suffer losses while others took advantage.

In this way, under his leadership, people's enthusiasm for production reached an unprecedented high. Even though the output was not much last year due to weather and water problems, it was enough for a family to survive.

This year, although the weather is bad, there is sufficient water and the output has increased.

This is also the reason why everyone can still hold on even though there is no food distribution.

As for other production teams, those who were brave enough followed Sunjiatan's example, while those who were timid went to reclaim wasteland. Fortunately, this year was a bumper year, and the grain on the wasteland did not have to pay agricultural taxes in previous years, so after the harvest, the grain was distributed immediately.

Although it’s not much, it’s enough for them to hold on for a while longer so that they can concentrate on making money.
