In fact, the old peasants see it most clearly, in the case of more people and less land, it is not possible to plant that little bit of land at all, "you can starve by planting that little bit of land" This is a sentence that the old peasants often say, which truly reflects the situation in the countryside.
In fact, the large collective and the field are just two different modes of production, there is no good or bad, the reason why there are two results, the fundamental reason is that the large collective has lost its flexibility, can only mechanically carry out the orders of the superiors.
The increase in peasants' incomes after dividing up the fields and working independently was not obtained by cultivating the land and collecting more grain, but by going out to work during the slack time. Agricultural labor is seasonal, take the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin as an example, that is, the wheat harvest season and the autumn harvest season need to be dispatched by the whole family, and the field management in other seasons can be taken care of by one laborer in the family, so the other laborers in the family can go out to work to earn money.
For the arrangement of farmers' leisure time, most of them are to let farmers learn to build terraces, roads, and water conservancy infrastructure according to farmland, and these activities are generally difficult to produce effective value immediately, and can not directly bring income growth to farmers, and cannot solve the actual living difficulties of farmers.
Although the above policy says that brigades can run industries and engage in diversified operations in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and sideline fisheries, there are very few brigades that can run industries, and only two out of 10 villages cannot do so, and the remaining eight cannot do so at all. So the remaining eight brigades have no industrial income, so they can only go to the soil every day to dig food, how can they be rich.
There is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, after the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee established economic construction as the central task, the class struggle was stopped, the commodity economy was liberalized, and private enterprises began to develop. Otherwise, even if the peasants are left free to divide the fields and work alone, there will still be no work to do and no sideline work to do. And the big collectives do not have such conditions, and who would dare to engage in private economy under the slogan of class struggle? Some people say that the production team can also organize the peasants to go out to work in a unified manner, and if there is no commodity economy, who will you work for, and will the state-owned enterprises want you? At that time, state-owned enterprises would not give migrant workers any food at all, and his own unemployed young people did not have anything to eat.
Therefore, if you rely on farming alone, even if it is still a large collective, you may see that this will give an example of Nanjie Village, but you must know one thing, it is precisely because others have divided their fields and worked alone, private enterprises have come to life, and the market economy has been developed. If everyone is still Nanjie Village, the private sector will not be able to develop, and Nanjie Village will not be able to develop either.
There is no future for farming alone, agricultural countries will always be backward countries, why do these large plains in eastern Henan, northern Anhui, and northern Jiangsu give people the impression that they will be very poor, is because there is only land in it, there are no mineral deposits, and there are no mountains and forests, fruit trees, only agriculture can be developed, and the people are still very dense, and the so-called Huaihai Province has at least 100 million people in the region, can it not be poor?
In fact, it is the result of complete industrialization, the self-sufficient small peasant economy is bankrupt, the peasants have to rely on money to buy food and clothing, and prices are constantly rising. In fact, not only peasants, but also ordinary urban citizens, whose incomes cannot keep up with rising prices, are also very poor.
Some people ask where the rising money has gone, and the rising money has gone to a small number of people, and a few people control the capital. For example, Jack Ma's Alibaba, although it is convenient for the people, has made all the profits of physical stores, squeezed out tens of millions of physical stores, and only enriched him.
