Chapter 37 New regulations for cottages
In early October of the third year of Chongzhen, early winter was already in. In Huluyan Mountain Village, the villagers wore winter clothes. The cold wind raged in the mountains was sharper than a knife! The villagers usually stayed at home to spend the winter without any trouble.
From quelling the rebellion of Jiang Saner and his gang to the present, many changes have quietly taken place in Huluyan Mountain Village. After the establishment of the Huluyan Mountain Village Command, Huluyan Mutual Aid Association, Huluyan Literacy School, and Huluyan Weapon Development Institute have been continuously established.
After the establishment of the Cosmopolitan Command, Feng Jian first gathered the small banner officials at each post, asked Zhao Shougang and his backbone to explain to everyone how to farm his post, and led everyone to check the production methods of his post on the spot.
The small flag officials at various posts finally understood why Feng Jian could guarantee that Huluyan Guards were professional in conducting military training without worrying that their own fields were not cultivated.
To put it simply, it is to use the collective power to concentrate on cultivating the fields rented by the households in the outpost. After harvesting, the harvested grain is distributed according to the amount of fields per household.
Not to mention how the harvest of the fields is, just gathering the guards of the village to specialize in military training, but it does not affect the cultivation of the fields at all. This made the small banner officials at the various posts of the village all moved and asked Feng Jian to implement this collective farming system at their respective posts.
Feng Jian expected that when the small flags of each post were benefiting from the collective farming system, they would definitely rush to learn and imitate it. However, Feng Jian was not prepared to let each post establish a collective farming system separately, but instead concentrated the land at all the posts in Huluyan Mountain Village and implemented the collective farming system, so that the land scale was larger and the corresponding manpower and material costs would be relatively lower.
After many discussions with people with experience in the collective farming system, Feng Jian, and Zhao Shougang, Huang Fuchun and others decided to establish the Huluyanzhai People's Mutual Aid Association.
Mutual Aid Association, as the name suggests, is an institution that helps and benefits each other in various aspects such as production and life in Huluyan Villagers. This institution will carry the collective farming department founded and promoted by Feng Jian, the mutual trading department of the parody households, the supervision department and the R&D department that improves grain harvest.
The wastelands reclaimed in Huluyan were owned by the commander of the mountain village. The people of the mountain village rented the land under the commander of the mountain village, and paid a portion of the grain of the pasture in proportion to the harvest season. The remaining part was their own harvest, and there were no miscellaneous taxes, so the people of the mountain village could barely maintain the temperature protection.
The weather was good in the past two years, and the grain yield per mu may reach about 100 to 150 kilograms. In the past two years, even many fields outside the mountain had low yield per mu or no grain harvest. Most of the wastelands reclaimed by Huluyan Village households were in the fields with poor soil on the hillside, and working for a year may not necessarily solve the problem of food and clothing.
In this world, the people of the villages can be satisfied with their food. There is no exploitation or taxation on the farmland on the parcel. The commander of the parcel is the heaven of the parcels. Once the commander is hurt, ordinary special residents will feel like the sky has collapsed. Therefore, when Jiang Saner and his group create rumors and incite the merchants to surround Hu Dadao, people will easily be deceived and follow Jiang Saner and his group to cause trouble in the square.
On the other hand, this shows that the villagers are very afraid that the new commander of the village will change the old land policy and make it difficult for the villagers to continue their lives.
To establish a Huluyan Mutual Aid Association, the first thing Feng Jian had to change was to distribute all the cultivated fields of the mountain village to the Huluyan village households equally according to households to satisfy the farmers' desire to own their own land.
Prosecutor Feng summoned the small banner officials at each post and announced that he would remeasure the Huluyan fields, and then distributed the copycat land to the village households evenly!
When the news came out, the cheers of Huluyan were shaking that day, and many people burst into tears. Many farmers could not believe that the land they had always dreamed of could be easily divided.
Feng Jian personally led the small flags of each post to measure the existing land in the mountain village. In total, more than 190 hectares of hillside fields were measured, which was more than 19,000 acres of land into a mu. Huluyan has a population of more than 4,000 and more than 500 households, and per capita can be divided into more than 4 acres of hillside fields.
As one of the inevitable measures for the development and operation of the Mutual Aid Association, Feng Jian directly divided the fields of the various outposts of the mountain village to the families of the mountain villages, which simply means that the fields are divided into households. From then on, all the fields in Huluyan belong to the private ownership of each household.
After several days of verification and preparation, Huluyan began to try to divide the fields into households. In order to show justice, Feng Jian asked more than 500 households in the village to send a representative to the square to draw lots. What kind of fields should be captured depends on his personal luck. Because the hillside is also divided into two types: close to water sources and not close to water sources.
Naturally, Feng Jian, the new commander, replaced the Xu Ma Gang, became the "Heaven" in the minds of all Huluyan Villagers. This "Heaven" distributes the fields that the villagers expect to be in the hands of the villagers, which is even more popular!
Feng Jian is not in the mood to enjoy the support of the merchants. Given that most people still do not understand the functions of the mutual aid association, Feng Jian once again summoned the small banner officials at each post to explain in detail the functions and functions of the mutual aid association, and then they explained it to the merchants at their post.
The main functions of the Mutual Aid Association are: one is that the Mutual Aid Association will concentrate all the fields in the village for large-scale cultivation; the other is to supervise the transfer and operation of fields, and to annex the fields of farmers; the third is to cultivate and study how to increase grain output.
The prerequisite for large-scale farming is to sign a lease contract with the farmer's owners, and most of the harvest is returned to the farmer's owners every year, and the remaining part is left in the Mutual Aid Association as a copycat public grain and as a copycat reserve.
If the farmer rents the land to the mutual aid association, he can participate in the production labor of the mutual aid association and participates in the labor of the mutual aid association. Every day he participates in the production labor, he can get a labor point.
The work points can be set up in the Mutual Aid Association to exchange for groceries such as alcohol, cooking oil, local cloth, grain, ironware, wooden utensils, tobacco, hemp ropes, etc., or for meat foods such as chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
If the farmer's family lacks food or stores grain at home, they can borrow some of the grain storage facilities set up by the Mutual Aid Association for free, or store surplus grain at home from the grain storage facilities.
Of course, Feng Jian was appointed as the president of Huluyan Mutual Aid Association, and has three functional departments: the Supervision Department, the Logistics Department, and the Breeding Department.
The Department of Supervision has a supervisor of the Procuratorate Mutual Aid Association whether there are any acts of corruption, dereliction of duty, deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates, similar to the later Independent Commission Against Corruption Agency.
The Logistics Department is in charge of publicly owned materials in Huluyan Mountain Village, such as livestock and agricultural tools, seeds and feed, and has two departments: trading yard and grain storage office.
The Breeding Department mainly cultivates experimental seeds. The purpose of Feng Jian’s establishment of the Breeding Department is to cultivate efforts to study and improve the awareness of breeding in this era. Therefore, the supervisor of the Breeding Department must be able to know the text and sentences and be familiar with field farming.
Therefore, the supervisors of the three departments are temporarily vacant, and Prosecutor Feng must inspect the person he likes for a period of time before making a decision.
The Huluyan Mutual Aid Association has ten mutual aid branches under its jurisdiction, which are rebuilt from the original ten posts, including A, B, C, and D. Each mutual aid association has one president and one person is recorded. The president of the Mutual Aid Association is the small banner officer at each post, and the record is the person who knows literacy at each post. The Huluyan Command issued an announcement and appointed.
The mutual aid association of each outpost is counted as a separate branch. For example, the original post A was named Society A, Post B was named Society B, and so on.
The mutual aid association is led by the president of the mutual aid association to work collectively. The outpost sets up people to record each person's daily work situation.
The farmer's work points will be a day after working in the mutual aid association. By the end of the quarter, each mutual aid association will record the work points for each person's labor income, and then the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association will publish a list to announce each person's labor points.
After the public announcement is made without objection, the merchants can exchange their daily necessities, meat and vegetables for their own labor points.
After the establishment of the Mutual Aid Association, the fields of the parish farmers were concentrated together for collective farming and harvesting. This also has the advantage of solving the problem of farm farmers who lack labor in the parish farmers. People who lack labor can earn labor points in other ways, and harvest them by renting the fields to the mutual aid association during the harvest season.
For example, if you are a clerk, or a widowed farmhouse, you don’t have to worry about no one ploughing your own fields by joining the mutual aid club!
Because of the mutual aid association, you can earn work points as long as you participate in labor, and you can exchange for daily necessities, which forms a cycle.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Jian announced the establishment of the Huluyan Literacy School in the name of the Huluyan Command.
There are many children under the age of ten in the village. Feng Jian from later generations of course knew the importance of learning knowledge from children. I dare not say anything else, at least the children of ordinary Huluyan village households can learn to read and cut literacy. In a few years, a group of farmers who can read and cut literacy will gradually support Huluyan, which is something Feng Jian is very willing to see.
Most of them are illiterate in the village. First of all, they should select literate people in the village as professors, so that all children over eight years old in the village can read and read for free in the school.
In addition, Huluyan will establish a guard army in the future, and the soldiers of the guard army must learn to read. Huluyan Literacy School also shoulders the responsibility of teaching soldiers to read.
Feng Jian, the literacy school, also implemented it at Jishou, but at that time, people were not stable and they were busy with farming, and there were very few people who entered school, which made Su Su, the teacher at that time, extremely embarrassed.
Given the support of Huluyan Village’s households nowadays, not to mention the good thing that stipulates that children over eight years old must go to school to learn to read for free, they will not be able to go down the mountain to find the bandits in Mozhu Mountain to fight desperately.
In order to successfully carry out the Huluyan Mountain Literacy School, it must have a special venue as the learning location of the Literacy School, and also select the first principal candidate.
Feng Prosecutors had already done all these work, and set up an area in a secluded place in the village as a school. The first principal of the school chose Su Su.
From the time of going to Huluyan to now, Su Su has dealt with Feng Jian a lot. She has heard too many magical legends about this new commander of Huluyan who is not a few years older than her. They all say that the girl is in love with her. I'm afraid that most women in Huluyan are full of admiration for this young commander, and Su Su is naturally no exception.
Every time I secretly looked at this little flag official in private, my heart would be beating rapidly involuntarily.
This little flag official not only saved the lives of most people in his siege, but also controlled Huluyan in a short time. Now he has launched the unheard of Huluyan Mutual Aid Association, which has distributed the land to each household for free. Su Su is really curious, how could this little flag official come up with so many novel ways!
When he was fifteen years old, Lord Xiaoqiguan was another man who left a shadow in his heart besides his father. But this feeling was so hard to speak of. Even when he looked at him secretly, he was afraid that others would see it. Lord Xiaoqiguan still doesn’t know that he is a daughter!
The girl's soft feelings were unconsciously tied to Feng Jian, but Feng Jian was ignorant of this feelings.
The Huluyan Weapon Development Institute was established on the day the command center was established and was decided by Feng Jian on the spot.
The so-called weapons development institute’s main task at this stage is to make enough agricultural tools for Huluyan. Of course, the weapons and weapons of counterfeit soldiers will also need to be supplied by the weapons development institute in the future.
The Weapon Development Institute only has a very strong tone, but it doesn't understand the situation and thinks it's amazing. Of course, its main function lies in the development of weapons. No one, including Feng Jian, will think that it can develop any weapons based on current conditions. However, everything is planned and it is always beneficial to set up a stand-up first.
