Chapter 95 Dilemma
After returning from the arbitration tribunal, Lin Yan has been thinking about how to solve the land issue.
Throughout human history, productivity was low in ancient times, and land was the most important production resource.
Countless wars broke out for this reason, and people fought bloody battles just for a bite to eat. If there were advanced productivity, how could the competition be so fierce?
But the current situation is like this, the land has just begun to bear fruit, and no one is willing to hand over the land they have worked hard to open up to others.
If this matter is not handled well, the impact will be huge.
In order to encourage people to take the initiative to open up wasteland, the land must not be taken back to public ownership. If this is the case, people will have no incentive to work.
Furthermore, why should we take back public ownership of the wasteland that people have worked so hard to open up? If we do this, people in Sun City may riot.
The question now is how to clarify the ownership of the fields so that people will not dare to invade and plunder them casually.
After flipping through the books in the science and technology museum and pondering for a few days, Lin Yan found some clues.
The land of Sun City has just emerged, so we can only use the simplest, most effective method that is suitable for the existing situation.
The idea she came up with was very simple. The wasteland cleared by any family belongs to that family, and no one is allowed to appropriate it or take it away. This is the most basic right and no one can change it.
Five days later, after seeing the wheat seedlings in the field, Lin Yan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She first went to Alan, told her her idea, and discussed whether it was feasible.
Lin Yan proposed that the arbitral tribunal send people to measure and record the wasteland that was opened. Each piece of wasteland should be numbered and wooden signs should be issued.
The number and size of the wasteland should be recorded on the wooden sign. The records left by the arbitration tribunal should be more detailed. In addition, the person who opened the wasteland and the notary who registered the survey should be recorded.
Once a dispute arises, just check the records for verification.
Alan thought deeply and then said: "What if someone forges a wooden sign? How to distinguish the authenticity from the fake?"
"This problem is unavoidable. We need to distinguish the material of the wooden sign and the ink used to write it, engrave an anti-counterfeiting code, and match the wooden sign with the records left behind. For the time being, we can only do this."
"It seems that you have already considered this issue, so I'm relieved. You can make the pattern of the wooden sign first and let the people of the arbitration tribunal look at it before making a decision."
After talking about the wasteland, Alan sighed deeply and said worriedly: "There are more and more people in the city, especially the proportion of children. In a few years, when they grow up, the number of people in big families will increase."
More and more people are coming. If things go on like this, I worry that if big families join together, it will become more and more difficult to manage the arbitral tribunal."
"People's hearts are complex and ever-changing. In the past, everyone was busy fighting for a bite to eat, but now it is different. All kinds of disputes are going on over money."
Lin Yan was silent for a while and said: "Competing interests are inevitable. What we can do is to formulate systems and restrict them. The current family form does have great disadvantages."
Ah Lan didn't know, but he couldn't do what he wanted. "Huang Ye's health is getting worse and worse. When she passes away, I'm afraid Heitu and I won't have enough prestige."
Lin Yan was also very sad when he mentioned this.
Huang Ye's health is getting worse and worse, and she may die at any time. In the past two years, she has rarely come out to manage affairs, and it is A Lan who comes forward.
Kurotsuchi is busy with military training, so the Arbitration Tribunal will inevitably not be able to take care of it.
Alan's worries were reasonable, but Lin Yan felt that the conditions for implementing the new system were not yet mature, such as changing the family structure and formulating new rules.
Her original plan was to vigorously develop planting in the past two years to meet the needs of food and clothing.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Yan looked at Alan. Since she said that, she probably wanted to do something.
Alan said: "I want to divide the big family and let adult men and women form separate families. It will be easier to manage each family if they are not too different. I also disclosed this to Huang Ye, but she was firmly opposed."
Lin Yan was surprised. Alan's family was also a large family with a large population. It was commendable that she could propose this regardless of her own interests for the long-term development of Sun City.
Huang Ye's family is the most populous household in Sun City, and her position is crucial.
"You want me to persuade Huang Ye?"
Alan nodded, "Huang Ye treats you differently. She can still listen to what you say."
Lin Yan shook his head, "If it were for other matters, it might be possible for me to persuade you, but not for this matter."
She understands Huang Ye. He seems to be easy-going and easy to talk to, but deep down he is persistent. Perhaps only Alan would think so about dividing a big family.
Which other big family is not proud of its large number of people? It would be too difficult for them to separate their families.
Nowadays, talents are the primary productive force. Only when there are more people can we have enough food and clothing, and can we not be bullied by others. Men in every big family are reluctant to leave their homes, and most of them don't care about the babies born outside.
This idea has long been engraved in their bones, and it is too difficult to change suddenly.
Lin Yan was suddenly stunned. There were so many women in each family, but there was only one head of the household. If they were willing to start their own business, they might give it a try.
If a woman can establish her own business and be the master of the household, men will naturally follow her. If you want to dismantle the big households, you still have to split them from within.
After returning from the Civil Service Academy, he left the matter of the wooden sign to Shi Zhi. For several days, Lin Yan was worried.
In addition to going to the fields to see wheat seedlings every day, she would sit in the yard and stare at the sky in a daze.
Huahong was busy every day, but on the third day, she finally realized something was wrong with Lin Yan.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Yan came to his senses and saw Hua Hong standing in front of him, "I'm thinking about the future."
"What's going to happen in the future?" Hua Hong sat down next to Lin Yan, "Life is so good now. I have a lot of energy in working every day. According to me, in a few years, every family will be able to live a good life."
"Auntie is right, this is good. You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."
Lin Yan didn't know how to express his troubles. Sun City was indeed getting better and better, and within a few years, he would be able to have enough food and clothing.
This is what most people like to hear, and it is also the future she wants.
But Alan's worries are inevitable. Conflicts have emerged, so we need to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Lin Yan has thought a lot in the past few days about the future of Sun City and how to manage it, but he still has no clue and seems to be in a dilemma.
She read many books, trying to find a suitable path.
But in the end, it was discovered that the situation in Sun City was different from any other period.
Historically, the matrilineal clan period was short-lived, and for a long time the status of women was weakened, and women were even treated as vassals of men.
She doesn't want to see such a situation. She wants everyone to get along equally. Neither the father nor the mother should belittle the other party.
Human beings are individuals and should be born with equal personality and should be free.
But the reality is that it is difficult to achieve this. Even in the future technological era, it will be difficult to achieve absolute fairness.
In the past few days, she has also come to understand that people cannot be distinguished by men and women in a narrow sense, but that everyone should be respected, represent the interests of the vast majority of people, and strive for relative fairness.
