Chapter 478: Dividing the Forest into Households



In two years, when they are sent to the army, I wonder how many people will scramble for them...

However, two years, this time can be said to be fast or slow...

Because she was looking forward to something happening, Cheng Zhenzhu felt that the days were passing extremely slowly. Summer vacation finally arrived, and after the summer vacation, the days were even slower and slower.

November, December...With the anticipation growing, it was finally mid-to-late December 1978.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee ended in late June, China began to implement a policy of internal reform and external opening up.

Referred to as reform and opening up.

After the implementation of this policy, the spring breeze blew across the country, and the sun was shining brightly across the country.

Initially confused, the common people gradually saw the benefits of reform and opening up, and now all of them have smiles on their faces and give thumbs up to praise the country.

It was also in this year that the people of Sanshi Island heard about another "reform" outside - dividing land among households and implementing the household contract system.

After seeing the results of the black-and-white newspapers, the people of Sanshi Island, after a vote, decided to learn from them and develop their own economy. Others were distributing land to households, but since they didn't have land, they distributed forests.

Of course, this forest still belongs to the country. If you want to divide the forest, you must pay money, so the principle of voluntariness is adopted, and you pay money to recognize the forest... After representatives from every household on the island arrived, Peng Dajun began to speak.

"What? I have to pay for this thing?" Xu Xia was the first to stand up and express her disagreement.

She thought it was just a matter of per capita distribution. Although she felt a little jealous of the neighbors' large family, theirs wasn't small either. Now that Xiaohua and Xiaocao are getting married and bringing their son-in-law with them, they'll definitely have a family of seven!

"Yes, why do we have to pay?" Niu Erya immediately stood on the same side as Xu Xia when she heard about the payment. She hadn't thought about paying at all, but when she heard that the forest was going to be divided, she immediately asked her family to vote in favor.

If she had to pay for it, she wouldn't really want it. She had originally thought it would be a waste...

"We didn't say we had to pay money at the beginning?" Many people had never thought about paying money, but when they heard their team leader speak, they immediately started making a fuss.

Didn't they have to pay for their crops? I heard that other places had to pay grain after the autumn harvest, but they had to pay for their fish. With just a few plots of land, it wasn't even enough for them to eat.

Now they're asking for money, which means they're wasting both money and effort. Those tiny hills and tiny forests aren't fertile, and watering them is a real challenge. It's hard to say if they'll ever recoup their investment!

The team leader also said planting fruit trees would make quick money, but that's all nonsense. Even the experts said there aren't many things suitable for growing here...

"Quiet, quiet!" Peng Dajun pressed his hand, taking charge of the situation. "The ownership of the land originally belonged to the state and the collective. Previously, the higher-ups understood that our climate was special and didn't expect us to hand over grain.

But over the years, with the arrival of wave after wave of experts, the land and mountains here are no longer what they used to be. In recent years, the work points each of your families has received are about the same as in previous years, but the things you've been given have increased, right?

Seeing everyone quiet down, Peng Dajun continued, "Dividing the mountains and forests will definitely have its benefits. You've all read the newspapers. They've quietly done great things and even received praise from the higher-ups.

I don’t even know when we were last praised on Sanshi Island…”

Hearing this, the people of Sanshi Island, who had a certain sense of collective honor, felt a little melancholy. At the end of the year, they hadn't caught any more fish than in previous years!

I don't know what happened. Could it be that a giant fish monster came and ate all the fish?

Sitting in the corner, Cheng Zhenzhu felt a little guilty when she saw everyone complaining about the lack of fish in the sea recently. At the end of last year, she seemed to have achieved something and then won a reward.

A tattered fishing net.

This fishing net is really a good thing. As long as you cast the net, it will always be full, and there is no limit to the number of times you can cast it. A net of dozens or hundreds of kilograms is not considered a small amount...

If the fish were too small or had laid eggs, she would release them and sell the rest to the system. Over the course of a year, she had accumulated a considerable fortune.

Aside from exchanging this wealth for ocean blue water, the rest has been largely untouched. Combined with the gains from completing quests, signing in, and fishing, the system now has a staggering 15 million ocean coins...

"Quiet, quiet! Let's not talk about fish today!" Peng Dajun saw that everyone was talking and going off topic again, so he quickly brought the topic back.

"Today we're discussing the division of the forest! We've already voted on the division of the forest and land, and the higher-ups have approved it. So, if the land is already leased, it will be impossible for others to take over in the future."

Of course, if you are willing to work, no one will stop you..."

"Who is so stupid? This land has become someone else's. If you go and work on it, will they still give you work points?" When someone heard what Peng Dajun said,

"Work points...Team leader, if we divide the land and forests, how are the work points calculated?" Wang Cuihua thought of this.

"We used to have a work point system, distributing grain according to work points. But now that the mountains and forests are being distributed to households, this system must be abolished." Peng Dajun gave a firm answer, then added, "Actually, the money we have to pay is nothing but rent.

The state's land is for us to use, and we pay rent to the state. This is fair. Once the land and forest are granted, it's up to you to cultivate it however you want. The more you work, the more you earn. Everything you earn is yours, and you don't have to share it with others.

So, I'll take the lead and claim two plots of land first. If everyone wants to claim land, we can divide it up by drawing lots like we do in other places..." Peng Dajun realized the benefits of this, so he explained it to everyone with both reason and emotion.

Unfortunately, after all the discussion, few people were positive.

I can’t carry it, I can’t carry it…

Peng Dajun looked at the huge group of people chattering about whether to leave or stay, and shook his head in his heart.

Many of them are educated youth, but why can't they figure things out? Especially Yu Xiaoyue. You say one thing, and she insists on saying another. You say good, and she won't say bad. I've never met such an annoying educated youth!

Has that idiot never seen a woman before? Why isn't he so picky? He's leaving this troublesome thing at home to be a nuisance... Peng Dajun sighed repeatedly.

He sincerely hoped that Yu Xiaoyue would pass the exam, lest one bad apple spoil the whole bunch...

"Is there anyone else who wants to recognize the land? Why doesn't anyone recognize the forest?" Peng Dajun looked at several pieces of paper with thumbs printed on them, took a sip of water, and mobilized again.

It's still too little! Moreover, they are only for one or two years, which seems to be a dead end...

"Mom, do we want land?" Seeing the village chief asking one by one, Jiu Tiao pulled his mother's sleeve and asked.
