LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Jie Shen and the other two rose into the air, and flew towards the air following that evil soul breath.

The two quickly flew out of the range of Weili City and flew to the vast countryside outside the city.One village after another flew past them, and finally:
"It's ten miles ahead." Shen reminded precisely this time.

"Ten miles ahead. Where is the evil spirit?" Jie's expression showed a trace of solemnity visible to the naked eye.

"What's the matter, Jie?" Shen turned to look at his friend: "Ten miles ahead, is there some important place?"

"Yeah." Jie replied after deliberation: "That's Nanmu Village, a very ordinary village in the past."

"But now, it is one of the first batch of important pilot villages set up by the Ionian branch in Navoli Province to verify the feasibility of rural collective enterprises."

"Rural collective enterprise pilot?" Shen was slightly taken aback.

He knew what this so-called rural collective enterprise was.

To be precise, it should be called collective enterprise rural areas.

Or pointing directly at the essence, it is a village commune under collective ownership, which is only operated under the logic of an enterprise in a market environment.

This concept is not unfamiliar in Ionia today.

Because when Li Wei gave the Ionian comrades blood before the war, in addition to firing a blank cannon of "comprehensive modernization under balance", he also proposed a "rural collective enterprise" good idea.

And the reason why he proposed this idea was not that he was going to run into the Lord Janna.Otherwise, he would not have emphasized that this is just a collective enterprise under the market economy environment.

The reason why Levi proposed this idea is simple and well-founded.

Because in the future of Runeterra, the intensification of agricultural production must be the general trend.

Agricultural intensification facilitates unified management, scientific planting, continuous management, and a large area of ​​planted crops, thereby improving agricultural production efficiency, resource utilization efficiency, and resource allocation efficiency, improving product quality, ensuring food safety, and increasing food production.

In contrast, it is difficult for loose small farmers to concentrate on improving agricultural facilities and capital to import agricultural machinery and fertilizers.Not to mention the low production efficiency, in the face of market fluctuations, its own ability to resist risks is also very insufficient.

In the future, with the integration of the whole world and the gradual advancement of industrialization in Runeterra, a large number of Ionian farmers will leave the countryside, emigrate overseas, and enter the cities to work and settle down.

Ionia's rural labor force will be greatly reduced, and the phenomenon of land abandonment will intensify.This has caused the waste of land resource again.

And if these Ionian farmers who have entered the city do not want to let the land go to waste, they can only rent the right to use the land to the big grain growers and agricultural companies in their hometown.

The result is still a disguised move towards agricultural intensification.

It’s just that a large grain grower must have a headache looking at the fragmented land he rented from small farmers—this kind of fragmented land that is difficult to manage uniformly drags down agricultural production efficiency.

"That's why President Li Wei thought, it's better to do it right from the beginning." Shen recalled what he saw more than a year ago.

At that time, the leader was carrying out social transformation in Ionia with great vigor.

And Li Wei hopes that while fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land in Ionia, he also tries to not divide the land in some areas, but directly collects the land use right into the collective ownership of the village community, and manages and manages it in the form of a collective enterprise .

Under this model, the identity of the villagers is no longer a loosely independent small farmer, but a shareholder of a collective agricultural company.

Voluntary association, democratic management, risk sharing, and benefit sharing not only realize agricultural intensification, but also protect everyone's personal interests. It seems to have the best of both worlds.

The managers of collective enterprises are also leaders elected by the villagers themselves.

If you have faith to guarantee the purity of the corporate managers, you will not be afraid that the collective enterprise will change its taste as it runs, so that it will inexplicably suffer huge losses, inexplicably go bankrupt and sell, and inexplicably become the private property of the company manager's family.

"This idea is very good, but" today, Shen still feels that Li Wei's original idea was very good.

But the first step went wrong.

Because it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to sit on the country.

The leader has been fighting for the country before, and he has come all the way smoothly, and he has hardly encountered any major setbacks on the way.

They can always use the most perfect and most pleasing way to win the welcome and support of all the people at the bottom.

In addition, Li Wei himself was lying beside the goddess Janna all the way. He didn't get enough training, and his petty bourgeois habits remained undiminished.
Therefore, the previous overall ruling idea of ​​the leader was to cater to public opinion as much as possible and win as many praises from the masses as possible.

They regard themselves as the perfect rulers in their ideals, and they cannot bear to hear the voice of dissatisfaction.

Therefore, the first principle of the rural collective enterprises that the leaders are trying to implement is——

Voluntary association.

But are the peasants of Ionia willing to unite?

Of course not!
The greatest dream of a farmer is to become a landlord.

Now the "next door village" is dividing the fields, and everyone has their own land.

Why can't they own their own land, but hand over the land to some "collective enterprise" for unified management?

These Ionian farmers who have just come out of the old society and have per capita prenatal education do not understand the meaning of "company", "shareholder", "equity", and "dividend".
In the eyes of the Ionians, the collective enterprise that the leader wants them to establish is the new landlord lord who is pressing on their heads.

If the land is not directly in their own hands, they are still tenant farmers.

People are unwilling to unite, and leaders want them to unite, but they are unwilling to break the rules of voluntary association.

The result of this is
The rural collective enterprises envisioned by Li Wei failed to land in the last one.

The leaders didn't do anything and said nothing, and made a lot of noise and public grievances.

"Hasn't this plan been stopped a year ago?" Shen looked at Jie with some puzzlement, "Why are you starting the pilot project again now?"

"This." Jie said with a helpless expression, "It's a long story."

Shen has been busy doing environmental assessments for more than a year, so naturally he doesn't know the situation in the countryside.

The land distribution policy that was implemented at the beginning really turned the poor Ionian peasants over for a while, and made the poor peasants who were forced to work for the landlords have a high degree of enthusiasm for production.

"But do you know, Shen?" Jie asked: "Our leader association's grain purchase plan in Navori province and Barua province has only been completed less than [-]%."

"The grain exported from Ionia to overseas this year is even less than the statistics of the Noxians in previous years."

"The price of food on the market now is almost the same as it was during the war."

"Huh?" Shen was slightly taken aback.

As a dignified master, of course he would not buy vegetables and cook by himself.He really didn't notice the abnormal grain price this year.

"How is this possible?" Shen couldn't figure it out.

The war is over, and the leader has divided the fields to the vast number of Ionian farmers.

This year, Ionia also had good weather. Not only did it not suffer any catastrophe, but it also ushered in a bumper harvest.

The stable production environment far away from war, the production enthusiasm brought by the division of fields, and the bumper harvest brought by the good weather, this set of positive buffs stacks up.
"Shouldn't the grain output this year be more than in the past?"

How can it reduce grain exports, increase grain prices, and prevent the official grain purchase plan of the leader from being completed?

Shen really couldn't understand.

"Because the lives of farmers have improved." Jie gave an unexpected answer.

"?" Shen was still puzzled.

Isn't this a good thing?How can it lead to rising food prices?

"It's certainly a good thing for farmers in Ionia."

"In the past, under the oppression of the landlords and the Noxus invaders, they could only eat a few pitiful wild vegetable porridge and coarse grain corn buns every day, and they could only eat a meal of white rice every few months, and they might not have a mouthful of meat all year round. .”

"They barely maintained their lives in this way. The food produced by their hard work was plundered by the landlords and colonists to the maximum extent, and sold on the market for their personal wealth."

"But now, they've turned around."

"They can eat white rice and fine noodles every day, and they can use the surplus grain to raise pigs and chickens, and they can eat meat every month."

The former Ionian poor peasants could only eat the minimum life support meals.

But now, they eat more and better, and they are able to hoard surplus food.

"This..." Shen gradually heard something was wrong.

Assume that an Ionian tenant farmer produces 1000 catties of grain a year.

In the past, they were squeezed hard by landlords and colonists, and 1000 catties out of 800 catties were rented to the master.

A master may have hundreds of tenant farmers, and he receives 800 catties from each tenant, and retains a small part of it for hoarding, which is already a large amount.

So when the landlord receives 800 catties, he will hoard 200 catties for himself, and sell the rest.

Then there are 600 catties of grain in the market;
Now Ionian farmers have turned over and divided their fields, and their enthusiasm for production has increased. The annual output of one person is 1200 catties of grain.

Assume that the leader's tax is only 200 catties.They ate another 300 catties for themselves, and used another 100 catties to raise pigs and chickens to improve food.

Because they were hungry and scared in the past, they had to stock up another 300 catties for a rainy day.

The grain that can be sold on the market in the end is only 300 catties left.

then
The output increased, but the commercial grain on the market was greatly reduced.

In a market environment, what will happen if there is less food on the market?
"So the speculators took action upon hearing the news, and joined forces to hoard grain and fry grain."

"When farmers see the price of grain soaring, they are even more reluctant to accept the official purchase price given by the leaders, and they also start to spontaneously stockpile and cover up grain in order to sell it at a high price."

There is less commodity grain, and the price of grain has risen, and the price of grain has skyrocketed, and no one is in a hurry to sell grain.

In the end, the leaders were unable to purchase grain, and Ionia's overseas grain exports were also greatly reduced.

"This" carefully understood.

To put it bluntly, compared to the past sustainable squires and Noxus colonists, the leader took too little from the Ionian peasants.

The benevolent policy of dividing land and reducing taxes has instead triggered a wave of grain speculation and caused difficulties in the supply of commercial grain.

"But we are the leaders." Shen hesitated and said, "The Ionian farmers turned over with great difficulty. They want to eat well and live a better life. What's wrong with them?"

"Sigh..." Jie sighed: "There are always discrepancies between ideals and reality."

"The problems in reality are very complicated, and a satisfactory solution cannot be found every time."

Just like now: Ionia's farmers' living standards have risen, but Ionia's exports have plummeted.

And Ionia can't earn enough money by himself, so no matter how thick the blood of Zaun's big brother is, no matter how selflessly he supports like a brother, it is impossible for such a huge laggard to rely on their transfer payment alone. An agricultural country developed.

"As a backward agricultural country, if Ionia does not extract enough surplus from agriculture, it will not be able to quickly realize the primitive accumulation of seed benzene, and it will not be able to develop industry as soon as possible and enter modernization."

"Of course we can 'govern by doing nothing', let everyone drink and eat meat now, and live an idyllic small-scale peasant life."

"But if we don't move toward industrialization and modernization, and let people keep farming in the countryside, then as time goes by, the population will continue to grow and the per capita arable land will continue to decline."

"The living standards of Ionian farmers will only get worse."

"In two generations, the so-called pastoral will turn into unresolvable systemic poverty."

In order to avoid this hopeless outcome, the collectivization of agriculture was imperative.

Administrative costs to individual smallholders are too high.It is impossible for leaders to visit door-to-door to persuade small farmers to reduce grain hoarding and sell surplus grain as much as possible.

However, if thousands of small farmers are integrated into a large collective enterprise.
The leader only needs to send someone to send an official document of "combating grain speculation" to the company's managers, which can easily stimulate companies to sell surplus grain, stabilize food prices, and solve market-oriented food shortages.

Ionia's grain exports can only increase, and more capital can be invested in modernization.

"I see." Shen nodded with complicated feelings.

But he thought for a while, and said, "However, we don't need to be in a hurry, right?"

Unlike Li Wei's previous life, the leader in this world can be said to be invincible.

Ionia is surrounded by the goddess Janna, and if it doesn't immediately develop its industry and enhance its overall national strength, it will be hunted and strangled by the international community surrounded by wolves.

For the Ionians, the other side of the sea is not an enemy, but a fraternal state where each of them is free to go and settle.

This greatly reduces the need for rapid industrialization.

"Jie, didn't you also say before that the association has changed its work route and only intends to build a 'balanced priority limited modernization' in Ionia?"

Since the future positioning of Ionia is already a tourist mecca with few industries + the world's granary.

Then there is no need to build so many factories, and there is no need to rush to extract surplus from agriculture and increase export income?
"You're right." This time Jie nodded in agreement with Shen's doubts.

Because of the chaos in the grain market, some people within the leader have always voiced the voice of comprehensive rural collectivization.

However, out of the same considerations as Shen, the leaders of the leader finally decided to let Ionia speed up the pace slightly and take the modernization journey more gently.

"That's why we have only set up a batch of pilot rural collective enterprises now, and only implemented rural collective enterprises in some areas of Ionia. We are not in a hurry to fully promote this model."

"Also, even if the pilot project is successful in the end, we don't plan to use direct administrative means to implement this law."

This pilot project is not only for the leaders, but also for the majority of Ionians.

Rural collective enterprises with intensive and large-scale production, under the effective management of leaders with the blessing of faith, must have higher production efficiency than loose small farmers.

Coupled with Ionia's relaxed international environment and limited modernization needs, the surplus that Ionia needs to extract from agriculture and the burden it imposes on the countryside have become less exaggerated than imagined.

The output is high, and there are not so many to take away.

Therefore, even if the rural collective enterprises cooperate with the policy to sell surplus grain, the living standards of the members of the village community may not be much worse than that of small farmers in Ionia who work alone.

"We hope to make these pilot enterprises a successful example of agricultural collectivization, so that those Ionian farmers can see the benefits of rural collective enterprises and get rid of the independent small-scale farmers' thinking."

"Introduce some more policies to provide targeted subsidies to villages willing to set up collective enterprises"

If you are willing to work together, you can buy Zaun's fertilizer, pesticide and agricultural machinery at a subsidized price.

And partnership means the concentration of capital.The results of everyone's labor are gathered together, and naturally they have the money to buy agricultural machinery that is very expensive for individuals.

Over time, those who work in partnership will drive tractors, seeders, and combine harvesters, while the small farmers who work alone are still digging the ground with hoes and driving old oxen to pull plows
Then everyone will naturally see the gap and actively invest in rural collective enterprises.

"In short, we will first withstand the dissatisfaction of some people, and use administrative means to achieve partial collectivization in Ionia to ease the pressure on the supply of commercial food."

"After these batches of rural collective enterprises have been successfully operated and the ideas of Ionian farmers have changed, they will be promoted on a large scale with subsidies and incentives."

Let some people unite unwillingly first, and then unite first and then unite, so that more people unite voluntarily.

This is the goal of the leaders.

Saying that, Jie looked at his old friend seriously: "Shen, you now know why this little Nanmu Village is so important, right?"

This is the first batch of pilot villages, and it is a benchmark that will affect the implementation of the policies of the leaders. Of course, its significance is important.

"I see." Shen nodded secretly.

"But." While flying against the wind, he looked at the village that was gradually emerging in front of him.

The breath of the evil spirit is in that direction.

"But this evil spirit will never be able to do it, is it for this policy?" Shen was a little puzzled.

This collectivization transformation policy of the leader has at most aroused the dissatisfaction and vigilance of the small farmers.

But the small farmers are at most temporarily dissatisfied.

They were rescued by the leaders from the tyrants and Noxus invaders more than a year ago, so they wouldn't summon evil spirits to attack the pilot village just because of this dissatisfaction?
Even if there are lunatics who can really do this, do they have the ability?

Those who have such extraordinary power must be not only the elders of the sect, but also powerful and powerful.

But what these people hate is everything about the leader, and they don't specifically oppose this policy.

"Yes." Jie nodded: "So what I am worried about is that the other party is not coming for the pilot village, but for the leader."

Because Nanmu Village is the only pilot collective enterprise in the Weili area, quite a few leaders and grassroots cadres have gathered here.

But it's not like Weili City, where a strong man like Jie sits in charge.

That is to say: "If someone wants to retaliate indiscriminately against the leader, then..."

Using his rich experience in indiscriminately attacking Noxians in the past few years, Zed judged solemnly:
"Here is the best target!"
