When promoting collective farms, the government and the Revival Association are both closely related to the perspective of solving problems for farmers.

The problem faced by farmers is that employed and farming have often become a two-choice problem.

It’s okay if the family has enough labor, but it mainly depends on farming. The rest go to the construction site. If the family’s labor is not enough, this problem will be very serious. Moreover, the farmer’s association cannot solve it. There are often disputes in the village, which makes everyone very unhappy.

Finally, in the midst of long-term entanglement and helplessness, the court came up with a solution to the problem, called a collective farm.

As the name suggests, a collective farm.

When facing a dilemma and want to solve the problem, then bring the land to the collective farm.

When it’s your turn to work, you go to work. Your land farm will arrange for people to help you farm and ensure the land harvest.

When it is the other person's turn to work, you have to cultivate the land for everyone under the organization of the collective farm, work hard to serve everyone's land like serving your own land, regardless of whether the land belongs to you or his.

When the land is harvested in the end, it is not distributed from the harvest on the original land, nor is it harvested based on whoever the land originally belongs to, but is distributed according to something called workplace.

Work points are acquired and accumulated through labor, including agricultural production, construction site work, and logistics and miscellaneous services for members of collective farms.

Let us gather all the land harvest together, weigh it publicly, record it publicly, and then distribute it publicly based on personal labor scores.

It is fair, just and open. Anyone who has any doubts can ask the Farmers Association for this matter. Everyone opens the skylight and speaks clearly, and no one will lie to anyone.

In short, when you join the collective farm, you are our own people. When you encounter a bumper harvest year, you will have a full meal together, and when you encounter a bumper harvest year, you will have a tight belt together to live together.

You will never be hungry, you will never ignore anyone, you will never give up, as long as you work hard and don’t be lazy, you will have something you eat in one bite.

Moreover, there are no thresholds for collective farms, and there will be no strange restrictions. If you join voluntarily, you can also withdraw if you feel bad.

Come in, welcome.

Exit, it's easy to leave.

Of course, collective farms cannot have no rules at all, and without rules, there is no order. I believe everyone has no doubt about this.

The biggest rule of collective farms is to enjoy collective services while enjoying collective services.

And after entering, the land becomes collectively owned rather than personal ownership, and cannot be bought and sold freely as before.

If you want to return to the land and buy and sell it freely, you can just report it and exit the collective farm. If the land is still yours, you can do whatever you want.

However, during the collective farm, the land belongs to the collective, and you are a member of the collective, and the private ownership of the land is temporarily frozen.

Moreover, those who commit crimes, are lazy and sloppy and continue to learn from them will be cleared out even if they join a collective farm. Collective farms are production institutions that share the results after everyone's hard work, and are not charity institutions that raise lazy people.

Let this matter be explained clearly to the farmers, do not deceive or hide it.

If you are willing to accept it, come in, and the court will not force you if you are unwilling to accept it.

This system was first tested near Zhongdu. The central government directly monitored and managed it, operated it carefully, and asked the farmers about their feelings.

Surveys are conducted every quarter, and a total selection is conducted every year. The original design system is also adjusted in these surveys and selections, and is constantly updated and iterated.

As expected, at the beginning, many farmers refused to join the collective farm because they could not accept that the land became collective and not their own, and thought that the court was messing around.

Some people think that this is a conspiracy of the court, and that the court repents it. They do not want to hand over so much land to the farmers and take it back from everyone's hands. This is a conspiracy.

Don’t look at them saying it well now, it’s easy to join in now, but it will definitely be very difficult to quit when the time comes!

Therefore, a considerable number of farmers have a strong sense of vigilance about this.

In order to mobilize more farmers to join, members of the farmers' associations at all levels took the lead in joining the collective farms, and they also tried their best to persuade the farmers to join the collective farms.

But if they really don’t join, they have no choice but to let it go.

The data on joining collective farms in the first year is ugly. In fact, there are not many farmers joining collective farms. In most rural areas, less than 40% of farmers joining farms.

Before the spring of the next year, some farmers felt that the difference between joining or not was not very big, and there was no improvement in their lives, so they decided to quit.

The court kept its promises without stopping it.

Some people joined the collective farm with the idea of ​​being cheating and cheating, but found that the wool could not be lifted at all, so they either quit voluntarily or were voluntarily cleared by the collective farm.

So this data becomes even more ugly.

But in the second year, the superiority of collective farms gradually began to emerge.

After all, the power of the collective is greater than the power of the individual. Especially in this era when productivity is backward and natural disasters are powerful, just a slightly less good experience is enough to change the view of many farmers.

In the second year of the implementation of the collective farm policy, Yanyun area was less rainy and slightly drought than the previous year.

The water conservancy projects built by the government played a great role, so the disaster was not serious, and the grain output reduction was relatively limited, so the overall situation did not change.

However, in a region, the difference between individuals and collectives is clearly reflected.

On the one hand, everyone was picking up firewood and using water together. They took turns to carry water and rest. The production planning was scientific and effective and efficient. Everyone collectively overcomes difficulties and ensures the production scale and results of collective land.

On the one hand, it is difficult to move forward, and land reduction is inevitable.

During the autumn harvest season, after the distribution of internal labor points of collective farms, the income of farmers is generally higher than that of individual farmers. The comparison is very clear, and the happiness index has risen sharply.

The situation has reversed.

With the strengthening of publicity power, after the autumn harvest, farmers who felt the insignificant personal power and strong collective power demanded to join the collective farm, which directly formed a trend of joining the collective farm.

Finally, after statistics, 93% of the farmers in the entire experimental area joined the collective farm.

There are 7% left to not join, and it is also an important reason for this.

Su Yonglin has heard that when the first group of farmers chose to join the collective farm, many people sneered at them, thinking that their joining the farm was a way of the government, and the government wanted to use this collective farm to take their land back.

Absolutely not joining, no matter what you say.

That doesn't matter, don't force it.

However, after hearing the news that collective farms used collective power to challenge the water shortage dilemma, farmers said they were very moved by the collective farm and asked the local farmers' association when they could set up a collective farm to try the waters.

The visible benefits are in front of you, so who else is really stupid?

So in the third year, at the beginning of the sixth year of Hongwu, the number of collective farms in Zhongdu area increased by three times compared with the fifth year of Hongwu, and the number of collective farm members also increased significantly. The collective farm policy was initially recognized by the people.

This made Su Yonglin very happy.

In Henan and Shandong, due to the existence of the Yellow River Project and long-term disaster experience, farmers generally have greater demand and acceptance of collective farms.

Moreover, due to geographical factors, they have worked with the government for a long time. There are many people joining the army in the region, and many times they support the army in conquests. The white strips have the highest degree of circulation, which is an absolute old revolutionary base.

The people in these areas generally trust the Ming government more, and they lack the sense of vigilance of the farmers in Yanyun area.

In addition to the revival association's lecture on the story of the collective farms in Yanyun area, the collective farms in Shandong and Henan areas quickly occupied more than 50% of the total number of farmers after being promoted in Hongwu, and then quickly exceeded 70%.

By March, this number has stabilized at around 88%, less than 90%.
