In this way, Gu Zheng was invited to sit in the town to reassure the villagers that this distribution of land to every household is beneficial to production. These words are said by the brigade captain. Although they are useful, many of the villages are old-fashioned, insisting on previous concepts, and believing that all the country’s decisions are correct and cannot be resisted. But Gu Zheng is different. Although she hasn't been at home for many years, his reputation has spread throughout the village. What he said can make everyone more convinced.
Qin Lingling understood the ins and outs, thinking that this year, the people in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang, Anhui, are also implementing the method of dividing farms into households to self-finance and increase grain.
Therefore, Qin Lingling supported 100% of this matter, and she also found some "virtual" cases, saying that she had heard of it at school, so that Gu Zheng could relax and talk to the villagers.
Because by the beginning of the spring next year, the top leaders will find that this method is feasible, and many places have been set up as pilot projects. If the village can also walk in the forefront of the countryside, it will be a good thing for the villagers, at least Allow them to eat a year earlier.
Qin Lingling said a lot, but Gu Zheng listened carefully.
Compared with Gu Zheng, Qin Lingling has a clearer view of the development of the next few decades. After all, Gu Zheng only "lived" for a few years later, waiting to go further, in the middle and late 1980s and the 1990s, the two After a thousand years, Gu Zheng did not understand at all. He might not know that the portability of the mobile phone would be beyond his expectation in the future, and the cash would no longer be needed.
Hearing what she said, Gu Zheng didn't think deeply, only thinking that Qin Lingling had contacted a lot of people during the six months at school and understood more. Besides, it is easier for people like the Zhang family to get news than anyone else.
"Or, will you accompany me later?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Me?" Qin Lingling pointed at herself uncertainly, "Can they believe what I said?"
"Why not?" Gu Zheng asked back, "You are a key university student. They believe what you say more. If you don't believe it, you will accompany me to see it? When we are finished, let's go to the mountains again?"
Under Gu Zheng's flicker, Qin Lingling decided to accompany him to the team headquarters.
Convened by the captain, every big family in the village sent at least one or two people, mainly the seniors with high prestige, and the director of the party secretary.
When the two arrived, there was already a crowd of people sitting in the room, all of them were whispering to each other, some wondering what Gu Wen often asked them to do?
The brigade accountant brought a stool for the two of them, and Gu Wenchang walked out of it.
Someone asked curiously, "Wen Chang, is there anything wrong with you calling us over today? After calling so many people, your uncles and uncles have all called?"
"Yeah, is there something big?"
Everyone said something to you, but the scene was chaotic.
Qin Lingling is the only woman among this group of people, except for the director of women, she is the only woman.
In the usual way, these people usually don't have Qin Lingling's turn to talk about things. Although they are educated youths, they don't have as much choice as men. After all, it is somewhat unfair to say that men and women are equal.
But it is different now. She is now a college student and the only college student in the village. Although she is a foreigner, Gu Zheng was adopted by Gu Dashun, but everyone in the village insists on admitting that Gu Zheng is a villager of Xiaogu Village.
You know, it’s easy for a village to serve as a soldier. After all, there are not a lot of people elected to join the army, but it’s not so easy to get a title, hold a position, and become a company commander. Moreover, the daughter-in-law is still in the college entrance examination. After the recovery, the college students who were admitted to the key universities, these two people, have unlimited prospects!
In the squeeze out of the village's poverty and backwardness for so long, these two people came out, only to be proud of them, and they felt that they were worthy of going out, let alone not recognizing their identities.
The most prestigious San Uncles in the village had commented on their husband and wife in this way, “We will depend on the scenery of the village in the future. Maybe we will rely on the Shanzi husband and wife. Ah, it's all up to them."
In this way, no one dare to look down upon them.
In this era, college students with knowledge and soldiers fighting for the country are the most respected by everyone.
No, as soon as the couple sat down, someone curiously asked. The captain called them too. What did they say?
Gu Zheng didn't answer, the captain came out first to quiet them.
"Be quiet, I'm calling everyone here today, as long as it's talking about some important things."
Gu Wenchang didn't talk nonsense. He told everyone about the recent two villages, one by one, according to the field, and the tasks were assigned to each household. He also said his own thoughts. He plans to try it out in the spring of next year and ask everyone. Views.
As soon as Gu Wen finished speaking, the room suddenly became noisy.
Someone supported him and said, "This is great. I have heard about this. If the fields are divided, then I will grow more well and receive more grain, which is quite good."
But some people objected, "This is an act that is not in line with the socialist policy. It is your personal behavior. What is the difference between this and the old times? Will we go back then? We are not eating well enough now. But I don’t know how many times it’s better than before, don’t fool around, don’t fool around for your individualism, there are so many people, you can’t afford it.”
Supporting: "Well, do you want us to be like this all the time, not having enough food? Yes, it's not starving, but someone has already tested it. It's just a division of labor. Who told you that it's an individual? That’s right? Just the same as the division of work we usually do. This time, it’s the management right of Tian."
He objected and said: "That's not okay. People have tried it. Who knows whether it is a real success or a fake success. In case the weather is good this year, the planting time is good, and the harvest is good. The half-year rations are used to gamble, what should we do if we lose the bet? Besides, what should we do if we blame the above?"
The two sides hold the same argument, but the public said that the public is reasonable and the mother-in-law is reasonable.
The captain did not immediately persuade them. Instead, he let them continue to quarrel. When they were almost quarreling, the captain came out and said: "Don’t worry, you guys are all right, but what are you against? Uncles and uncles, let me ask you, you said that this year people’s weather is good, so the grain harvest is good, but why is it the same as other people’s harvest? And that is, if this grain is planted, it is not that there is no land at all. The law produces food, even if the output is low, just one time. Try it. If it doesn’t work, then forget it. If it works, it will improve the lives of hundreds of people in our entire village. Think about it. Isn't it bad? Do you want to live a life that doesn't have enough to eat or wear?"
The words of the captain made the opponents choke.
But some people still disagree.
Especially the older elders, while saying: "I know you are for the good of our village, but have you ever thought about this change, what will happen? You are not afraid of blame from above, you are a captain Can’t stand it? It’s not your individualistic influence at that time. You may have an accident at that time. Uncle, as a past person, will advise you not to fool around."
Gu Wen was often dumbfounded by his uncle's remarks, "Uncle, I know you are for my good, but I'm not fooling around. Those villages have tried it. I think it's definitely not just these two villages that are experimenting. Big, so many villages, there must be many places where experiments are going on. If it succeeds, it will be beneficial to us and the country, believe it or not?"
"Hmph, I don't believe it. Anyway, I advise you not to mess around. Our village is pretty good now."
When other people saw that Uncle Gu Wenchang was opposed, they naturally disagreed even more. In the end, they all meant the same. One is that Gu Wenchang can't bear their losses, and the other is that such a big thing, if once they do not do well , Gu Wenchang, even the secretary of the village and the leader of the commune, many people will suffer.
However, many people think that it is feasible. After all, I can only eat two meals a day when others are full, and they have more time to drink porridge and water throughout the year and less time to eat dry meals. Even meat can’t be eaten in a year. piece.
It's so hard to think about. If there is a way to improve the eating problem, even if they take some risks, they are willing to try. After all, there is nothing more important than eating and eating.
"Captain, since other people's crops are so good, let's try it too!" Someone said to Gu Wenchang.
"Yeah, try it. Anyway, it's only once or twice. If it really increases production, it will be good for all the people in the village."
"Yeah yeah……"
Gu Wenchang looked at them helplessly, "I want to try too, but you have seen it, and some people disagree."
Gu Wenchang looked at those who disagree.
Only for a while, those who agreed quickly persuaded those who opposed, hoping that they could also agree.
"Although we can eat now, it is much better than in the war years, but we can't get enough to eat. If we are hungry, we can't drink water all the time. If we stretch our stomachs, we have no food to eat. This is not just to eat. Are you full?"
"That's right, that's right..."
Some people hesitate. After all, everyone's purpose is to live a good life, eat enough, and make the world peaceful.
However, some people just don't want to try, no matter how they persuade them, they always feel that it will be bad and will bring worse consequences.
When everyone's quarrel was fierce, Gu Wen often spoke suddenly.
"I'll ask you, where do you say the consequences can be bad? Although many people in the village are not going to starve to death, they still can't eat enough. Why don't we fight for it? I don't believe you. The harvest in the village is good and you are full of food. You will not be envious or tempted. If you don’t believe me, I understand. After all, I’m in the village all day and I don’t know much. If you don’t believe me, you can also ask Shanzi and Qin Zhiqing. One of them works in the army and the other goes to university in a key academy. They have the most say in how to do such things. I invited them to come today. Mainly I mentioned it to Shanzi yesterday, and Shanzi also thinks it is feasible. of."
As soon as Gu Wenchang said this, everyone calmed down and looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief.
Indeed, if Gu Wenchang said, they could still refute one or two, distrust, but if Gu Zheng also agreed with this point of view, it would be different. Everyone knows what kind of identity Gu Zheng is now, he can agree. Does that mean that the above also agrees with this meaning? If they agree, then there will be more people who agree.
"Shanzi, you can tell the big guy a few words about your point of view, so that uncles can rest assured." Gu Wenchang said to Gu Zheng.
In fact, he has only spoken up until now. The purpose is to let those who agree or disagree to express their thoughts and concerns, and then explain to them the benefits. When everyone is almost done, he will ask Gu Zheng to come out and explain why. To do this.
Gu Zheng nodded, then stood up.
The opponent looked at Gu Zheng worriedly, and said, "Shanzi, you haven't been home for many years. You may not know much about the village."
Gu Zheng replied: "I haven't been back for many years, but you can rest assured that in the army, in addition to daily training as soldiers, we must be self-sufficient. We also need to grow food and go uphill to mow in winter. We will do everything you want to do, so in fact, the army is no different from our village, and even the army looks longer and farther than the village, because in addition to daily expenses, we also need to conduct training."
"Yesterday, Brother Wen Chang met me and talked about the things in those two villages. To be honest, I very much agree that our village also tried it out. Just like Brother Wen Chang said, we started with two villages in this place. Trial, so the country is so big, so many rural areas, so many production teams, there must be more people like this to try it out. In the army, they are all people from all over the world. I heard that these things are worse than you. want more."
"Brother Wen Chang did this not for personal heroism, but for the benefit of the big guys. If he is the kind of captain who doesn’t care about you, he will execute whatever order he gives, and won’t fight for you. For more benefits, you may all think that he is not worthy of being the captain. But today he is willing to stand here to scold you, listen to your opposition to him, and insist on persisting, he is not for himself, but for us The whole village can eat and be full."
"Since we will try it out once or twice, why don't you give Brother Wen Chang a chance? He has been the captain of this team for many years, and he has been a good leader. What, you should be clear when you think about it."
When the others heard Gu Zheng's words, they were silent at last, and no one raised any objection, but the people who opposed it before did not immediately agree.
Qin Lingling also stood up, "I also agree with the captain's decision."
Everyone turned their eyes to her again.
Without waiting for anyone to be surprised, Gu Wen often spoke first, "Qin Zhiqing is a college student now. He is studying at Zhongshan University, the best university in our provincial capital. You should also know how many talents there are in that kind of school."
With Gu Wenchang's reminder, everyone looked at Qin Lingling's eyes calmer.
Yes, a college student has more knowledge than their group of people rooted in the countryside.
Qin Lingling said, "Uncles who are still opposing, you can actually think about it carefully. If you can really harvest more food, it will be good for our whole village. You have also seen that many people in our village eat all year round. I won’t be able to get enough food a few times. Try it once. It won’t kill people and won’t delay anything. Besides, isn’t there a village that has been experimenting with planting this season? You can also wait until the end of the year to see before you decide. Now the captain will give it to everyone. In the end, if you agree, you can register first. If you disagree, you can also register. If you change your mind, you can also tell the captain that there is still a long time before next year, which is enough for everyone to consider. Good things, we can’t let go. As for those that say that capitalism will be restored, it’s impossible. The fields are still collective and state-owned. Even if they are cultivated in your hands, they are not yours. The country can take it back all the time."
After Qin Lingling said this, everyone, you look at me and you.
What she said was true.
It’s still early for next year’s spring plowing, and now they have just finished autumn planting. Such a long time is enough for them to inspect other trial villages to see what they look like.
No one doesn't want to eat full, they just don't want to cause trouble, they just want to be comfortable and stable.
Of course, they have such thoughts, but they cannot be completely blamed. Many of these people have experienced wars and experienced the three years when they had no food. Now they have finally stabilized. Who doesn't want to live a good life, if something happens, it will be terrible.
Gu Zheng and Qin Lingling took turns to persuade the uncles who participated in the meeting to oppose the assignment of the fields to the households. Gu Wenchang had to "fan the flames" on the sidelines, making them believe that the views of Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng could not be wrong. Many, definitely know more about the above future policies than they do.
Not to mention, such a meeting, although not many people who opposed it agreed, but at least, no one spoke directly to object, and even some people have changed their attitude and said: "You really don’t have to starve to death if you try once or twice. There's nothing to dare to fight. We have managed to survive these difficult three years, let alone now."
Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng don't worry about how to arrange this afterwards. What they said today gave everyone a lot of confidence and encouragement.
When the couple left, Gu Wen often patted Gu Zheng on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Thank you for your help today."
Gu Zheng replied, "You don't need to thank you, it's all right."
"It's not the same. After all, this is the job of my team leader, but I asked you two to persuade you. If this thing really doesn't happen in the future, then I deserve to be blamed, but you two are innocent."
"No." Gu Zheng didn't say that he was not afraid of being blamed, but that he would not be blamed by them, because this method is feasible.
Of course, Gu Wenchang still doesn't know.
