Chapter 316: Divide the money, shares and land!

“The brigade has divided up all the land, and these collective means of production will definitely not be retained!

By then, every household will have their own farm, and who will provide money and food to support these…

Of course, a price will be paid and these collective assets will be distributed to the villagers!
Big items must be appraised, and then sold by lottery or bargaining, and the money is distributed to the villagers! “Yue Feng said based on his memories of his previous life.

“Well, if we have the chance, we must find a way to buy the chestnut horse and tractor in the village!

Especially this tractor, it can be used whether you are farming or going up the mountain to hunt and dragging down the prey!

Other villagers can also use it during the busy farming season. Since it is in their hands, they can earn a lot of money by using the tractor to work for others, whether it is plowing the land or harvesting in autumn!”

Land is the root of farmers. As a middle-aged generation with relatively conservative ideas, Yue Lei and Li Wentong have a much deeper feeling for the land than children like Yue Feng.

Why are those outsiders who come from Guandong called blind migrants? One of the main reasons is that they have no land and do not belong to the village collective production team.

Now if the village collective land is divided and the responsibility is contracted to individuals, the enthusiasm of farmers to farm the land will definitely be higher than it is now.

If people are enthusiastic about farming, the price of “big items” such as tractors and horses that can be used on the land will definitely rise as well. This is something that can be seen without any hesitation.

Yue Feng: “It’s fine to buy a tractor, but I don’t think the chestnut horse is very meaningful! It’s a breathing animal, and you have to take special care of it. It’s not as easy as a tractor!
In fact, I have another idea. If the household contract responsibility system is implemented, we should all subcontract our own land!”

Li Wentong and Yue Lei agreed with what was said above, but they were shocked when they heard Yue Feng say that if the land was divided, it would be subcontracted out and not cultivated anymore.

Yue Lei frowned: “Not farming anymore? What about all the mouths to feed at home? What will they eat and drink?
People are not very motivated to work for the production team, but if the land and the harvest are their own, then the enthusiasm will be different! Farmers, if they have land, they will have a new goal in the future! “

Yue Lei looked at his son in front of him with a somewhat unfamiliar look. In his opinion, Yue Feng’s statement of not farming was somewhat rebellious.

Yue Feng curled his lips and said, “Wealth comes from fortune telling, not hard work. How many rich people can become rich by working hard on the land? There is only a small harvest from the land. How much can be left after working hard for a year?

If I had the time, I think I might as well do something else that would make more money!

For example, if we set up a deer farm and a sable farm, and then expand the falconry business to the surrounding villages and towns, wouldn’t the money we make be better than scratching the ground for food?
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just look at the income of our hunting team in the last few months. If we rely on farming to make money, have you calculated how much grain we need to sell to make this money?

We didn’t have a choice before. If I had a choice, I personally wouldn’t want to be a farmer!

I think it’s enough if I can sell the land to others and exchange it for food for my family!
Our physical strength and energy should be put into more valuable things!”

A few months ago, if Yue Feng had dared to say these things at the family dinner, his father would have beaten him with a belt on the spot.

But after this period of development, Yue Feng and his hunting team have indeed helped several families live a better life, and his persuasiveness and voice in front of his father have naturally become much stronger.

After listening to this, Yue Lei and Li Wentong frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

After about five seconds of silence, Li Wentong said, “At least farming can guarantee a stable income regardless of drought or flood. This is the foundation of our farmers. What if the policy changes in the future and the hunting team can’t make that much money? How can we stop farming?”

“Even though the country has banned hunting, it can still allow breeding, right? We have completed all the necessary procedures, and everyone can save money. If there are better businesses and opportunities, we can do them!

Besides, subcontracting the land to others does not mean selling it to others! Even if nothing works, isn’t it just returning to farming?

I am young and have no special feelings for this kind of land. Although this black soil is fertile, it cannot support human life!
It can guarantee our minimum survival, but it is difficult to live a superior life by relying on farming!

Besides, after the New Year and the beginning of spring, Uncle Li, you and my dad have gone to work in the forest farm, so we don’t have so much time to farm!

If this matter can be implemented, please consider what I said! “

The scene became quiet again.

“Oh, Brother Feng just said that. It’s hard to say what the future policy will be like! Why should we worry about that now?
Brother Feng, while everyone is here, let’s discuss how to divide the shares of the mink farm if we set it up!”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, Xiaowen took the opportunity to change the subject.

Yue Feng also knew how to take advantage of the situation. The ideas of his father’s generation were solidified by the background of the times, so it was normal that they could not accept his own opinions for a while. So he simply changed the subject and started talking about the shares of the sable farm.

“At present, the scale of sable breeding is small, and the pressure is not great, but since some people are optimistic about the prospects and are willing to invest money, connections, and technology, I also want to continue to promote it as soon as possible!

With financial support, our original plan of three years of wild seed collection is a bit longer.

In the next period of time, I plan to search all the ditches and forks of different sizes in the mountain behind my home to see if we can catch more female minks with cubs to expand the population base!

As for the shares of the mink farm, my initial plan is that I will personally own 55%, and the three of you will each own 10%. If Ye Jianjun has no objection, I will also give him 10%. “

“That calculation isn’t right. What about the remaining 5 points?” Xiao Tao counted on his fingers and asked curiously.

“I plan to give the remaining 5% to Wang Hu who is in charge of matchmaking!

If you are not related to me, the more you use your relationship, the shallower it will become. If you want a long-term and stable relationship, you have to rely on common interests!
Maybe he doesn’t need this little money, but if we leave him shares, he will take it seriously, both out of a sense of identity and personal emotion. If he needs anything later, he will be more attentive!

Uncle Li, Dad! And you guys, do you think my distribution plan is okay? “

Li Wentong was not at all troubled by Yue Feng’s question and nodded: “I think this shareholding ratio is appropriate!
It was originally your business to make money with your brothers. To put it bluntly, you can catch sables by yourself with your hawks and dogs! Now each of you is given 10% of the shares, which is almost like picking it up for free!”

“My dad is right! We went catching sables a few days ago, and each of us got more than two thousand yuan just for the money! An ordinary hunter who catches big skins can’t earn that much even if he works himself to death in a whole winter!” Xiao Tao also echoed.

“We two brothers have no objection! Brother Feng is willing to help us make money and has never treated us brothers unfairly. We will do it no matter how much or how little he is paid!” Xiaowen looked at his younger brother and immediately expressed his opinion.

Uncle Li agreed, and Xiao Tao and the three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu had no objection. So the share ratio of Yuefeng’s sable breeding farm was preliminarily determined.

Just in time, the meal in the kitchen was almost ready. Meng Yulan reminded everyone in the outer room to clear the table for dinner. Several people cleaned up the tea cups, melon seeds, plates and other things, and the dinner dishes were served and the meal began.

Several families were immersed in an atmosphere where their lives were getting better and better. They enjoyed the meal very much. During the meal, Yue Feng even opened a bottle of the state banquet Moutai brought by Ye Jianjun for everyone to taste.

There were a lot of people, so each person only got two taels of food, so we just tried it.

Everyone at the table was from the family, and none of them really knew much about wine. This stuff was rare and hard to come by. At present, one bottle was one less. Under certain circumstances, it was used as a gift, to do business, or to entertain friends. It was much better than drinking it yourself like a cow chewing a peony and not being able to taste it. After dinner, the square table on the kang was cleared of wine and food, and Yue Feng got off the kang himself and invited Aunt Zhang to the room.

“You gentlemen can just handle it, why did you drag me here!” Aunt Zhang said in a very kind manner with a smile on her face.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “That won’t work! The train runs fast only because of the locomotive!

For ordinary matters, it’s ok for us younger generations to discuss it among ourselves, but when it comes to major matters, the elders in the family still have to put the check in!
Dividing this money today is a big deal! You and my uncle Li must handle it personally!”

While speaking, Yue Feng brought the cloth bag containing money from behind the kang. He took out twenty-one neatly packed stacks of banknotes and placed them on the kang table.

“At the beginning, Uncle Zhao said that we brothers would use these two leopards as wedding gifts, one for each of us! Then we will do as the old man said!
In front of Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang, I want to say this to pretend to be a big shot. Although the money comes lightly for us, the friendship is heavy, and it represents Uncle Zhao’s expectations for us!
After you get the money home, don’t let your mind wander or get cocky! Know what to buy and what not to buy! Life is not one day long, so don’t think about those crooked ways!
This money is far from the end of our brothers’ earning in this life. There will be plenty of big money waiting for us to earn in the future!
Two pieces of leather, one for 8,500 and one for 12,000, a total of 20,500. We four brothers will split it equally, 5,125 each!”

While talking, Yue Feng distributed the money one by one.

Five thousand yuan, that’s five thick stacks of big unity notes, exuding the special aroma of ink, which makes people’s heart beat faster at the sight of it.

The money was personally handed to Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang. Yue Feng noticed that Uncle Li was fine, but Aunt Zhang’s hands were shaking!

“Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu have followed the right people! If you save this much money by yourself penny by penny, how many years will it take?

In front of your brother and your grandfather and uncle, I, as your mother, must make it clear to your brothers that your brother Xiaofeng is your real brother and you can’t be vague about anything, do you hear me?” Aunt Zhang said earnestly.

“Mom, stop talking. In our hearts, Brother Benfeng is also our real brother!” Xiaowen said, holding his mother’s hand.

“Alright, we brothers are friends who have risked our lives for each other, so I won’t say anything sentimental! Things will get better and better! We still have a long life ahead of us!
Count the money and put it away. It’s getting late, everyone should go back and have some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow to go up the mountain to release the hawks.

While the weather is good, hurry up and work for a few days to store more game for the canteen. In two days, I will take you to the mountains to hunt again!”

It was indeed getting late. After we had eaten and drunk our fill and divided the money, it was already half past nine.

After the dinner and money distribution meeting, the families went home and Yue Feng’s home returned to peace.

The person left and the money was divided, but Yue Lei suffered from a rare insomnia while listening to the radio.

“Boss, are you worried about something? Why are you tossing and turning and can’t sleep?” Meng Yulan reached out and touched Yue Lei’s face in the dark, and asked in a low voice.

Yue Lei turned off the radio, and then said in a deep voice: “Xiao Feng said that there is a high possibility that the land will be distributed and contracted to each household in the spring of next year. If the land is really distributed, he doesn’t want to farm anymore and wants to contract out the land!”

“Once the land is really divided, we have the final say. If we are willing to rent it out, then we can rent it out. You idiot, are you addicted to the hard work of farming?” Meng Yulan’s mentality is much better than Yue Lei’s.

“But our ancestors have been farming for generations. If we contract it out, then…”

Emotionally speaking, Yue Lei is a person with a strong sense of local attachment, otherwise he would not have been so excited when he heard his son say that he might be able to distribute land under the household contract responsibility system.

However, rationally speaking, Yue Lei knew that what his son said was right again!

It is true that you won’t starve with the harvest from farming, but it is not realistic to live a better life in the short term.

After hearing what the old man said, Meng Yulan sighed and said, “Since our Xiaofeng came back from the forest farm injured, his brain has become smarter! This is the blessing of our ancestors, who want our Yue family to be proud and live a good life!

Of all these things, what can we find fault with my son? Our family is living so well now. To be frank, the living conditions of the secretary’s family are not as good as ours!!
My son has already proved his ability through facts, why do you have to go against him!

Parents must be aware!

If you can help your children, then do so to the best of your ability. If your ability is limited, at least try not to be a hindrance!
There are four people registered in our family. At most, each person can get five mu of land, which is only two small mu (10 mu is a small mu, and 15 mu is a large mu)!

According to the current grain production, even if we work hard and carefully, how much can one mu of land produce? How much can the grain be worth if it is sold?

When my son goes out hunting, he can sell a wild boar for over a hundred dollars, not to mention bears, deer, roe deer and so on!
Can’t you figure out this account?

Not to mention, your son has found a job for you. Once you get a full-time job at the forest farm, you won’t have so much time to take care of the crops in the fields!

Could it be that he should let his son give up the work of going up the mountain to play in the field and go roll around in the fields?
If I had that much time, I would rather take care of the household for my son.

In the future, when Xiaona gets married, she can take care of the children, take care of the logistics, and let her son lead his brothers out to explore the world. Isn’t that better than staying at home and being a farmer?
Now there are big bosses who drive cars and become friends with my son. In the future, there will be more people like this!
You don’t support your son’s progress, but instead want him to be a farmer all his life like you, working hard in the fields?”

“Hey~ now that you mention it, it seems to make sense!” Yue Lei really couldn’t find any point to refute, so he could only sigh and agree with his wife’s statement.

Meng Yulan’s words completely shattered the traditional farmer’s complex in Yue Lei’s heart.

……

In the next few days, Yue Feng returned to his normal life rhythm.

Yue Feng returned all the ingredients he could borrow from the second canteen, and for the rest he could not, he used the cost to make up for the purchase. In addition, Yue Feng also gave Master Niu a bottle of the state banquet Maotai liquor that Ye Jianjun had sent him.

There were 12 bottles in a box of wine. He drank one bottle at Wang Hu’s house, tasted one bottle at his own home, and gave one bottle to Master Niu as a favor. There were nine bottles left at home, all of which Yue Feng stored in the cellar like treasures. Before there was new replenishment, they certainly could not be used as ration wine and wasted at will.

Leaving aside the daily activities of releasing eagles, hunting eagle cubs, and delivering goods, Yue Feng has been paying attention to the injured little white eagles at home in his spare time.

After listening to his father’s advice, Yue Feng bought some golden-edged earthworms from a pharmacy in the city, ground them into powder, and mixed the powder in water to feed the white spear.

Yue Feng originally expected this injured guy to be very aggressive, but in fact, he felt that he was not bad, and his strength was about the same as other big eagles in the net.

After two days of rest, he was able to drink the water that Yue Feng squeezed into the corner of his mouth with cotton cloth more comfortably. Yue Feng checked the blood scabs on his wings and the injuries on his back, and his condition was slowly getting better.

The only thing worth mentioning in this process is Big Black Hawk’s attitude towards Little White.
