I just saw a comment, he saw someone say: The peasants had suffered a lot to feed the urban workers, and he didn't like to listen to it, so he left a message saying,
The bad elements are very bad, the city feeds you, and they still beat you up.
I don't know what basis this netizen came from, so I asked him, "Is there a basis?" He didn't bother to reply.
I was thinking to myself, he may have said that there is an industry in the city that makes money to feed me (the peasant), let's not talk about whether the current city supports me, let's first say who supported your industry in the first place?
How did your industry develop? I saw a sentence that said it right:
The text says:
The development of industries using grain as raw materials.
Who produces the grain, and will your factory produce it yourself? Besides, many factories were still on the drawings at that time, and they had not yet been established!
The grain is produced by the peasants, and it is the peasants who lay the grain and starve themselves to support you.
I will state my basis that the peasants gave everything to feed the workers. It cost a lot to pay for it.
I am a farmer, born in 1955, I was six years old in 1960, and I remember some things, I remember the winter of that year (1960), when there were nine people in our family, my parents, and my four older brothers, an older sister, and my three-year-old brother.
I lost my mother and my 3-year-old brother that year.
At that time, the annual rations were not distributed to the members' homes, they were concentrated in the grain warehouse of the brigade, and the members ate to the big canteen of the brigade to eat ready-made, in the winter of that year, the big canteen of the brigade was yellow, and the members of the club went to the grain warehouse of the brigade to receive the grain for cooking, and received the number of rations for the whole family for five days, according to the standard of one or two seven dollars per person per day, five days is 8 taels of sorghum or bud rice, all of which are raw grain with skins, and our family is my second brother who is nine years older than me to get it, a few days ago, my second brother also told the scene when he went to receive grain, There are nine people in my family, and he is holding a cocoon silk bag that can hold 120 catties of sorghum.
The pocket was a slender strip woven with cocoon silk, filled with a hundred and twenty pounds of sorghum, which was convenient for people to carry on their shoulders.
The amount of food rations for nine of our family for five days is 7 catties and 6 halves, and I just put the bottom of the pocket on the cover, but it saves effort, and I carry it home with one hand.
In that year (1960), the members of our brigade, regardless of men and women, young and old, had a daily ration of 127 yuan per person, which was a well-known low standard, that is, the ration standard per person per day, and everyone knew that it was 1960 when people mentioned the low standard.
My family lived in our ravine about the west side of the river, and my third aunt's family lived along the east side of the river, his eldest cousin worked in a state-owned mine, smashed stones with a sledgehammer on the mine, and put the stones in the small mine cart bucket with his hands, also called the iron wheel horse, that work was very tiring, belonged to heavy physical labor, referred to as "heavy labor", his monthly ration standard was 51 catties of finished grain. The grain he received in a month was more than the nine people in our family, and the total amount of food received by the nine members of our family this month was only 45.9 catties, and my eldest cousin received the rations equivalent to 10 people in our brigade in a month.
My eldest cousin doesn't grow grain either, so why is he so much older a month than we are farming, and where does he get the grain? His grain was received from the grain storehouse. Where did the grain come from in the granary, which was purchased from the rural production team. The grain of the rural production team is harvested from the farmland by the members of the production team through their labor. The peasants can't get enough to eat themselves.
How did he sell the grain to the grain depot?
Some people will say that because the land belongs to the state, it is natural that if you cultivate the land of the country, you should pay agricultural taxes and pay taxes on the land, and this has always been the case from ancient times to the present.
Then there must be a specific amount of tax payment. There are specific quantities, we look at this information,
In this material it is explained:
At that time, it was estimated that in 1953-1954, the country needed to master more than 70 billion catties of grain.
In addition to the agricultural tax can get 27.5 billion catties,
It also needs to purchase 43.1 billion jin (the actual purchase of 24.3 billion jin in the previous year). It is impossible to buy so much grain from the market.
It is said here that the agricultural tax is 27.5 billion catties, but in fact, urban people have to eat 70 billion catties, and if they have more than 40 billion catties, they have to spend money to buy them from the peasants in the market.
It is also said here that it is impossible to go to the market and buy so much food.
Therefore, at the end of 1953, the method of unified purchase and sales was adopted. That is, all the grain produced by the peasants, except for the agricultural tax payable, is equivalent to the state buying all the grain, and this is called "unified purchasing," and the state allocates and sells as much to whomever it wants. It is also said in the entry of this "unified purchase and unified sales",
Since the implementation of unified purchasing and marketing, Chinese peasants have been in a state of half-starvation and half-satiety, and Liu Shaoqi once frankly admitted this:
At present, there is a contradiction between the amount of grain that the state needs and the amount that the peasants are willing to sell, and the contradiction is quite acute. If the peasants wished, he was only willing to sell the surplus grain to the state after he had eaten enough. If the peasants were fed and then the state would requisition, then we would have nothing to eat, and the workers, teachers, scientists, and other people in the city would have nothing to eat. These people have nothing to eat, and industrialization cannot be done.
From these materials, you can see who feeds whom, right?
Let's not say who is broken, let's just say who is beating a rake, everyone is clear, right?
