Chapter 256 What is the meaning of the property distribution to households?
As a result, she happened to travel through time that day, and these rice seeds lost the chance to come into the world.
After coming here, due to the limitations of the environment, only some of these rice seeds were planted in Shang Ruoting's space.
Now, the land has finally been distributed to each household, and the rice seeds she researched in her previous life will finally be put to good use.
This is simply amazing good news for Shang Ruoting.
As for the source of these rice seeds, I will discuss it with Tan Chen later.
Tan Chen also knew that his wife's space was a big secret, so he didn't ask any more questions in front of Mrs. Shang.
Two days later, Zhao Fa notified each family to hold a meeting at the threshing ground.
The villagers speculated that this meeting was probably about the distribution of property to households.
Sure enough, when Zhao Fa saw that everyone was present, he went straight to the point and explained the spirit and specific operations conveyed by his superiors.
"We are very lucky in Feng County to have become a national pilot area. Now, I will tell you in detail about the distribution of production to households."
Some people saw that he was speaking slowly and steadily, and they couldn't wait any longer.
"Captain, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"
"Yeah, we've been feeling unsure these past few days. What exactly is going on with this distribution of property to households?"
"Does this mean we won't have communal meals anymore?"
Zhao Fa looked at the villagers who were talking about all sorts of things and quickly waved his hands: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me."
"The so-called distribution of production to households means that our land will be distributed to individuals based on their number of people. From now on, you will only be responsible for cultivating the land you have contracted."
"When the harvest comes, we will hand over a certain percentage of the grain to the state, and the rest will all belong to you personally."
This was said concisely and clearly, and everyone basically understood it.
Families with large populations are naturally happy, while those with small populations are a little depressed.
"Captain, there are ten people in my family, including my newborn grandson. Can I get land for ten people?"
"Yes, Captain, there are eight people in my family, so we should have a lot of land, right?"
"There are only four of us in my family. If you say that, I'm really at a loss..."
Zhao Fa waved his hand again, asking everyone to be quiet.
"That's what you mean. Once the higher-ups have measured the land, they'll inform everyone of the amount each person will receive."
Having said that, Zhao Fa had finished conveying the matter of dividing the property among households, and everyone was waiting to sign the contract.
People who knew each other gathered in groups of three or four and began to discuss their own gains and losses, as well as their anxiety about this unknown change.
Old Lady Shang pulled Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen aside and complained in front of them for the first time.
"I was urging you to have a baby soon, and now when we divide the land we're dividing it based on the number of people. Aren't we at a loss?"
Shang Ruoting knew what Old Lady Shang was worried about. It was simply that her family had a small population and would get less land. By then, their economic benefits would definitely be worse than others.
But who was Shang Ruoting? She was a 22nd-century doctor of agriculture. Even though her family's share of land was small, she could use it to generate profits many times greater than those of other families.
"Grandma, don't worry. Even if our family gets less land, we can grow some profitable crops."
Old Mrs. Shang has no idea what the high-profit crops her granddaughter is talking about are. The only possibility is building a greenhouse, which requires a lot of capital.
"Do you want to turn all the land into greenhouses?"
Shang Ruoting first looked at Tan Chen, then at the people coming over. These two people were really interesting. The only thing in their minds was building a greenhouse.
"Grandma, let's talk about this later. Let's see how much land we can get first and then consider other things."
Although Mrs. Shang was anxious, she also knew that her granddaughter was a person with strong opinions, and she had a reliable grandson-in-law, so she was indeed worrying too much.
"Hey... I just thought that our family is small and can't compare with those with large populations."
Neither Shang Ruoting nor Tan Chen wanted to discuss the land issue in front of so many people, so each of them took Old Lady Shang's arm and went home.
Ten days later, Zhao Fa finally convened another village meeting. This time, he wanted to discuss the details of distributing production to households and asked each family to send a representative to the production team.
Old Mrs. Shang and Tan Chen agreed that Shang Ruoting was the most opinionated person in the family, and that the spot to attend the meeting belonged to him.
Even if the two of them did not nominate her, she would still strive for the opportunity to attend the team meeting this time.
So, she went to the production team as a representative of her family of three.
Sure enough, this meeting was about the details of land distribution. Family representatives without any objections could sign the contract and get the allocated land.
