I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

“It’s not that I’m bold, but it’s something that ordinary people understand, but you senior executives don’t.

Who can I blame!

The first curse I heard was from an ordinary worker: "Farmers don't farm, but make steel. What the hell is this? Will we all eat steel next year?"

The second is that after half a month of the Great Steelmaking Movement, large livestock began to die! 'If all these large livestock died, we would not plant crops next year, but plant steel instead. This is simply ridiculous!'

The third one was that someone saw the autumn harvest and autumn planting, and found that they had not even completed 50% of the harvest, and cursed directly, "They are starving to death, but you are giving blind orders every day!"

These three people lived well in the past few years. They started storing grain and various supplies at the end of 58, thinking that the people above were making trouble!

Many farmers also have strong opinions here, especially in the later period when their enthusiasm is gone and only dissatisfaction remains!

Who can be blamed for this! This is an administrative order!

They sold everything they had to make steel, and even lost their cooking utensils at home!

They were just scolding one person!

Too light! Dare to say these people are bad people!

Whose fault!

Even in capitalist countries, this government will step down because the losses it has caused to the country are too great.

Whoever is responsible should bear the responsibility! It’s normal to only scold once! "

"What does it mean that two pieces of calligraphy become one piece of calligraphy?" asked Mr. Wei.

"You don't know!"

“I don’t know. I only know that you scolded the chief elder that day, but the Council of Elders was very satisfied with your answers on population and other issues!

I don’t know anything else! My level is not high enough! "Old Wei confessed.

"Originally, the Great Elder prepared two pieces of calligraphy for me to test my speed that day, but when he asked me about the matter, I said where is the brain of the person who formulated the work point system!

The eldest elder was very happy in the end, "You scolded me, and I hold a grudge. I will give you one of the two calligraphy works first, and the next one will be given in a few years!"

It’s a small matter! After the rural work point system is changed, we will try it out and see if the effect is good, then we will give it to me! "Cao Dongfang didn't care about such a small matter.

"Huh~ It seems nothing serious. What's the word?" Old Wei let out a long sigh.

"The stronghold of the country!"

.......

"Damn it, I've fought all my life and nothing in this life?" Old Wei was obviously envious.

"Me neither!" Commander Song was also very envious.

"It's okay. It's hard to be promoted to Li Guang. With the example of our predecessors, you don't need to be sad, Mr. Wei. Just try hard... after ten years... still nothing!" Cao Dongfang teased Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei: “…”

Commander Song: “…”

Aunt Wei: “….”

Mrs. Song: “…”

Song Xianxian: “.......”

Damn it, he's panting heavily when talking, what does it mean to work hard for ten years and still get nothing? This kid has so many weird words!

I'm so mad. I'll teach this brat a lesson one day!

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter. Old Wei, you really don't have much hope in this life!" Aunt Wei laughed so hard that her stomach hurt!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

“Ohhhhhhh!”

Mrs. Song and Song Xianxian were also laughing, but more reservedly!

"What does the other piece of calligraphy say? Do you know?" Mr. Wei changed the subject of the previous piece of calligraphy.

“If you haven’t seen it, you don’t know! You’ll know when you get it back in a few years!”

......

"Wait, Dongfang, the country wants to solve the work point system, why?"

“Farmers are miserable. Their income is too low and their burdens are too heavy. In some areas of central and western China, a family of five does not have five sets of clothes!

Everyone should change their clothes when going out!

I only gave cloth to three families and never gave any more. There were too many people, and I couldn’t give cloth to ten townships if I gave one village!

I can afford cloth for one year, but I can’t afford it for ten years!

The quality of their lives depends on the country! Not me! "

"How is it possible? There are such poor places in the country and I didn't know about it!" Mr. Wei was surprised when he heard it.

“It’s useless for you to know, there are too many people, I can’t afford it, and the same goes for you!

Besides, supplies can’t be given away for free! Don’t get excited! "

Mr. Wei, “There are a lot of people! Does the country know?”

"A lot, tens of millions of people, and even the local government and the country know about it!" Cao Dongfang concealed a little bit.

"It seems that you have seen a lot of things while delivering grain and going abroad in the past few years. This is a good thing. We can change it now that we know it." Old Wei was relieved when he heard that the number of people was not too large.

“It’s not easy to change! Agriculture is still too important in our country, and the taxes on farmers are too high!

If you can barely eat enough in a year, how can you afford to buy clothes and other things? There is only one way to make farmers rich, and it cannot be done in 20 years, but it can reduce the burden on farmers! "Cao Dongfang does not think that changes can be made in the short term.

“What can I do?”

“No taxes for farmers!”

"It's impossible to have no tax on farmers. This is a principle that has remained unchanged for thousands of years!" Mr. Wei once again expressed an old idea.

“Why not? In the past 50 years, agricultural taxes accounted for 39% of the country’s total tax revenue. Now it’s less than 10%. The first three years were special circumstances and are not counted!

my country's industry has been growing on a large scale in recent years. Once the agricultural tax is less than 1% of the total tax revenue, there will be no tax on agriculture!

Now is the Industrial Age! Industrial Age, Industrial Age! I must say it three times!

Mr. Wei must remember that the important thing about agricultural tax is the food people eat, not the money reflected in the tax!

The policy of no tax on farmers is not just a one-time policy!

But from now on, we will cut some taxes every year, so agricultural taxes are not important!

What is important is 'cheap rice hurts farmers' and what is the price we pay for agricultural grain?

In the United States and some industrially developed countries, agricultural taxes are very low, and they also have agricultural subsidies, so farmers' incomes are not low. "Cao Dongfang talked about the specific measures.

Mr. Wei, “Food is too important. The country needs too much money to buy what it needs. We can’t afford it!”

"I'm afraid of what happened a few years ago. It's necessary to have no tax on agriculture. It's easy to buy food. The key is the price. Let the government think about it slowly!

This is not the most important thing at this stage. The most important thing is to let the farmers make money. If the country has supplies and they have money, everything will be easy.

'Money makes the world go round, which may not be entirely true, but having no money is absolutely impossible!

Farmers have been tax-free for a long time. Now farmers need money and the country needs materials. We need to develop agricultural and sideline products so that farmers can have money and the country can have agricultural and sideline products! "

Mr. Wei, “This is your second method, which is somewhat capitalist.

......

Whether a country is named "public" or "capitalist" is just an appearance and is not important. In the past, the Han Dynasty had "Confucian skin, legal bones, and Taoist heart"!

Hence the term ‘Han people’ came into being!

Now I just change it slightly, 'Confucian skin, Legalist bones, and patriotic heart', 'Confucianism and Legalism correspond to public and private.

The purpose of a government is to ensure that its people are well fed, well clothed and the country is rich!

The grain reserves must at least not be lower than the proportion of grain reserves in the fifth year of Emperor Yang of Sui's Daye period!

The country’s money cannot be less than that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty!

If you are not as good as the two kings who lost their country!

How can I explain this to future generations? "Cao Dongfang spread his hands.

Elder Wei said, "Dongfang, your analogy is not good. We are better than the two kings who lost their country. They are not. There is no need to compare!"

"Mr. Wei, I can tell from your lack of knowledge of history. It's a pity for the two kings I mentioned who lost their country!

Because their era was the two thousand years of feudal rule, an era with the most grain and silver reserves.

The fifth year of Daye was the peak period of the feudal dynasty. Emperor Yang of Sui was so powerful in that year.

There are two records in history books. One is that the so-called "wise and mighty" Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, would ask almost every year after the autumn harvest, "How is our current income compared to that of the five years of Daye!"

Finally, Wei Zheng was annoyed by his questions and said something, which roughly meant, "Don't compare anymore. Don't even think about it in this life. You can't compare!"

There's no comparison at all!

The second one is that in the 15th year of Zhenguan under Emperor Shimin, the people of the Tang Dynasty were still eating the grain stored by the Sui Dynasty!

At this time, Emperor Yang of Sui had been dead for twenty-five years!

What does this mean?

Perhaps only the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, can be compared in later generations!

Even the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties cannot compare to it!

During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, the country's population was probably between 5000 and 6000 million!

This ratio could probably feed everyone in the Sui Dynasty for fifteen to twenty years!

We are now eating two years younger!

According to the grain storage ratio of the Sui Dynasty, my country would have to store at least 2 trillion jin of grain to match it!

I don’t say whether Emperor Yang of Sui was the king who lost his country, but who can compare with him in terms of grain reserves. "Cao Dongfang explained.

“If it’s true, this number is too scary! I didn’t expect that Emperor Yang of Sui also had such an awesome side! Then why did he lose his country!” Commander Song couldn’t figure it out.

"The biggest reason why Emperor Yang of Sui fell was that he and his father Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, were both digging up the roots of the aristocratic families!

Destroy the family!

Emperor Yang of Sui was defeated, but he also destroyed most of the roots of the most powerful "Guanlong Group" and "Five Surnames and Seven Aristocratic Clans" at that time!

It was not until the reign of Wu Zetian that the power of the aristocratic families was completely eliminated!

So even though he was the king who lost his country, Emperor Yang of Sui was also very awesome!
