After that, you may get more.
Zhao Zhongxing didn't dare to think about any more money. Although he was the team leader, he had never seen much money.
I have seen a lot of food.
But that wasn't his, it belonged to the entire team.
"What about those who are not regular employees?"
Most of the team members are mainly engaged in farming, and they only come out to find some work during the slack season.
Just like Zhang Xiu Lan and Su Da Hua, who were afraid to do farm work, made an appointment to go to the textile factory to weave cloth. Usually they still had to be busy with farm work and housework.
"It's charged by the hour! How much is an hour? You can get it on the same day or monthly!"
Zhao Zhongxing had never heard of or seen the idea of being paid by the hour.
But it's still quite fresh.
Now that the venue and labor are solved, it’s back to the issue of raw materials.
"I'm afraid the brigade's collective land is not suitable for growing peppers on a large scale. Everyone needs to eat, so we can only grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like. Moreover, we have a public grain quota every year, and we have a certain amount of coarse and fine grains to pay." Zhao Zhongxing frowned tightly.
The brigade’s collective land cannot be moved, which means that if you want to grow peppers, you have to reclaim the land.
But in recent years, their team has also reclaimed some land, but the land they reclaimed is generally not good land.
It takes several years to plant the crops, and every year, you have to pour feces and urine on the crops to turn the barren land into fertile land bit by bit.
"Uncle Zhao, as far as I know, some brigades have quietly distributed farmland to their members."
It is 1979 now. Someone tried this last year and the results were very good.
"Distribute it to the members of the team? How...how is this possible?"
"Yes, but it's done in secret! Because the work is done for the collective, everyone's enthusiasm is generally low, and they think it doesn't matter how much they work."
Zhao Zhongxing has a deep understanding of this point.
Even in his team, there were quite a few lazy people who required him to spend a lot of effort to urge them to work.
In some cases, he would refuse to do it even if he was whipped.
It’s nothing else, it’s just because they know they dare not starve them to death.
Even if the poor households in the brigade owed him food and had to buy on credit every year, he had to lend them money. There was no other way. If someone in the brigade starved to death, he, as the brigade leader, was also responsible.
"The land was distributed to them, and only the public grain that was to be handed over and the amount that was given to the collective were taken from them. The rest was left to them. Do you think there would still be lazy people in the brigade if that was the case?"
Not to mention the lazy guy, even Zhao Zhongxing himself wanted to rush up and do it.
"Uncle Zhao, I remember that rice can replace sweet potatoes and potatoes. Even if that doesn't work, we can still trade rice with other brigades for sweet potatoes and potatoes. That way, we can save some dry land to grow peppers!"
Li Jinfeng planned step by step. After hearing this, Zhao Zhongxing connected the whole matter into a circle.
The reason why I say cooperation is because I need his help in this matter.
Every step must be done well before the brigade’s sideline chili factory can be established.
Otherwise, he could only look at the textile factory next door with envy.
"I need to sort things out!" said Zhao Zhongxing.
Li Jinfeng was not in a hurry and gave him enough time.
It was getting dark now and they had to go back to their new home for dinner.
Perhaps sensing her anxiety, Zhao Zhongxing said, "Girl Jinfeng, let's leave this matter as it is for now. I'll think about it tonight. Also, is there anything else you need my help with?"
