"You guys keep eating, don't stop." When Dong Shuheng saw a group of employees eating, they suddenly stopped and looked over to him.
He knew that he had been exposed. This group of people must have recognized him, but they just couldn't.
They all knew the director Wang and the officials from the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau and the Training Bureau who were following him.
Dong Shuheng came down to inspect and did not want to affect the normal production activities of these people.
There is no need for him to demonstrate his authority in this way now.
Just like now, his image has penetrated deeply into the hearts of these ordinary people.
I thought of my photos being posted on the walls of various public gathering places.
Dong Shuheng sometimes feels goosebumps on his body.
Similarly, the employees of these farms were also a little uncomfortable at this time, seeing the character they saw in portraits and newspapers talking to them every day. These people felt excited unconsciously.
"The president looks like a polite young scholar." Shuan Zhu thought in his mind.
Everyone feels that the president has an army of millions in his hands and must be a decisive and resolute person.
In fact, he looks like a scholar.
"Here, help me get a steamed bun and put it in a bowl of broth." Dong Shuheng told Field Manager Wang beside him.
"This..." Director Wang was stunned on the spot, not knowing whether he should pretend or not.
Wei Yuxiang, who was still following Dong Shuheng, had quick eyes and quick hands. He asked for a spoon from the cook and found a large bowl to fill a bowl of broth for Dong Shuheng.
Dong Shuheng went to the basket of steamed buns and took out a steamed bun. The basket was covered with a layer of cloth and covered with a lid, so it was still warm.
Dong Shuheng has long been unable to do things like harvesting rice, and he doesn't want to go to the fields and get his feet covered in mud.
Then let’s have a big pot meal with these farm workers.
I have long heard that the pork stew here in the Northeast is delicious. Just now Dong Shuheng smelled it, and the broth tasted just like the stew.
"Director Wang, you are a bit stingy. I will ask Yuxiang to go to your place to pay for the food later." Dong Shuheng said with a smile, easing the awkward situation.
As he spoke, he took the big porcelain bowl. The broth in the bowl contained cabbage, pork, vermicelli, carrots, bean sprouts...
There are also some dishes that Dong Shuheng doesn't recognize, and they also add a lot of pepper, which makes them smell very fragrant.
Dong Shuheng took a small bite of the steamed bun, and then took a sip of the broth.
The broth is soaked into the steamed buns, and the aroma of flour and the flavor of mixed vegetables and meat in the broth are mixed together, making people feel their appetite is greatly increased.
"Well, this big pot of food is cooked well. People say that big pots of food are difficult to cook, but your chef cooks the big pot of food very well." Dong Shuheng praised while eating.
"President, there are no cooks, they are all done by female farm workers, and the cooking is done by women who are inconvenient to go to the fields." Field Manager Wang explained from the side.
Nowadays, almost all the men and women on the farm are busy harvesting in the fields.
When they saw the president, they all ate with him personally, and other employees also ate together.
"What do you call this brother?" Dong Shuheng asked when he saw a man with a dark complexion but strong muscles squatting in front of him.
This man wore a sleeveless singlet and ate very quickly, as if the food was being sucked into his stomach.
"Ah, President, my name is Liu Shuanzhu." Liu Shuanzhu almost choked before he could fully swallow the rice in his mouth.
He didn't know why the president asked him alone, when there were dozens of people around him!
If it weren't for the big guys pushing him, Shuan Zhu wouldn't even know what the big shot in front of him was asking him.
I don't feel like kneeling down now, but Shuan Zhu always feels uneasy just squatting and talking to the president. Besides, he still holds a big rice bowl in his hands.
But then I thought about it, the president was also holding the same big porcelain bowl as himself and drinking broth from the same pot.
What else do you have to be embarrassed about?
"Hey, are you from Shandong?" The accent of Shandong people is easy to identify.
"Yeah, yes, President, I am from Laizhou, Shandong. This is my eldest sister. She just came to the farm this year. I have been here for almost two years." Shuan Zhu finally stopped being reserved and pointed at a group of people.
Sister introduced to the president.
"Oh, did you go back to your hometown during the Spring Festival last year?" Dong Shuheng knew that many immigrants returned home during the Spring Festival last year.
Then, through the help and guidance of these people, a wave of immigration was successfully triggered.
Dong Shuheng looked at Da Ya beside the pillar.
"Girl, how are you doing at the farm?" Dong Shuheng asked casually. Unexpectedly, the girl was a little shy, lowered her head and could not speak.
Shuan Zhu on the side helped and said: "My sister has already gotten married after arriving at the farm. My mother said that letting Daya follow me to the farm is much better than at home. How can life in my hometown be compared with the farm."
Dong Shuheng knows that life on the farm is much better than that of ordinary people now.
Fortunately, the original Liangjiang area was developed earlier by the Renaissance Army. The area was originally relatively prosperous.
But most places have just implemented the policies of the Renaissance Army. Most people still live on a small amount of land.
Their lives have not been fundamentally improved.
Although the Renaissance Army restricted land rents from landlords, it no longer collected monetary taxes from farmers.
However, farmers' income has not increased. At most, they have more grain left in their hands.
In fact, if these grains were converted into money, they would actually be less, because the price of grain under the rule of the Fuxing Army has dropped by more than half than before.
However, they have a lot of food in their hands. Therefore, Dong Shuheng is confident that he can feed everyone, but there is still a long way to go to make everyone live a good life.
"The good days of the farm are the result of everyone's joint efforts. If everyone is willing to work, then life on the farm will get better and better. If everyone is lazy and thinks that these fields are not their own, then the farm will also get better and better."
We are getting poorer." Dong Shuheng said.
"Well, yes, President, don't worry, this farm is our home, and these fields are the same as our own fields." Shuan Zhu was led by Dong Shuheng and gradually let go, and the chatterbox opened.
Say whatever you want.
"Director Liu, we need to make a plan as soon as possible. In the future, the farm's benefits will be divided into how much it will be handed over and how much will be retained for ourselves. A fixed ratio will be fixed so that everyone can harvest more as they do more. The benefits retained by the farm can be used for investment.
, you can also pay more benefits to your employees. In the future, whichever farm does well and has higher profits will have higher wages for employees on that farm." Dong Shuheng told the officials of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau on the side.
The collective nature of the farm organization must introduce a competitive mechanism in its operation.
Only by working harder can we ensure that everyone is sufficiently motivated and will not develop the mentality of eating from one big pot just because time has passed.
After drinking a bowl of broth and eating a steamed bun, Dong Shuheng felt full and could skip lunch today.
At this time, Shuan Zhu on the opposite side had already eaten four steamed buns and seemed to still be unsatisfied.
Dong Shuheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up. It was time to say goodbye to these farm workers.
Most of the workers have almost eaten. They have to go back to work in the fields again.
They didn't quite understand a lot of what Dong Shuheng said just now, but they did understand one of Dong Shuheng's words.
That is, the more you work, the more you will get. This is how it should be. The more you work, the more you will get. This is a matter of course.
If everyone gets the same salary, then everyone will be lazy in comparison.
Because with the same salary, it seems that whoever does less will earn cheaper.
Now that the president is saying in front of everyone that the more you work, the more you will get, then the farm director and the Bureau of Reclamation will definitely follow the president's golden words in the future.
Everyone was making calculations in their minds, and some were reflecting on whether they had thought about being lazy before.
Some people silently warned themselves to be more active in doing things in the future.
The distribution system is actually extremely important for the development of a society.
It can be said that the purpose of people's work is to obtain distribution opportunities.
In primitive society, human beings lived together in groups, implemented a primitive commune system, hunted together, and gathered together.
Those hunters who perform best during hunting will also have priority in allocating food.
This prompted these people to work harder to improve their hunting techniques.
Only then can human society develop.
As farming civilization developed later, if a person mastered better farming skills, he could gain the respect of the entire tribe, and even become a leader and enjoy certain privileges, which also promoted the development of agriculture.
Dong Shuheng has now changed all the enterprises and farms he originally controlled into state-owned enterprises and state-owned farms, which actually created a new economic model.
This is different from the previous emperor's palaces, which were only to meet the emperor's personal needs.
On the one hand, these factories and farms of the Fuxing Army can house the people, and on the other hand, they can also inject impetus into the country's economic development.
It is convenient for Dong Shuheng to use his power to guide the direction of economic development.
At the same time, there are still many gentry under the rule of the Fuxing Army, and the landlords have now become factory owners and farmers.
In fact, there are two economic models running simultaneously.
If state-owned farms and factories do not improve their management systems, they will soon be outclassed by private factories and manors.
The two compete with each other and are each other's whetstone.
Whatever wages state-owned factories pay workers, private factories must also follow suit, otherwise skilled workers will vote with their feet. And vice versa.
If state-owned factories and farms fail, the treatment of our own people will also be affected. The first people to be affected are the officials who manage the farms and factories, because their job is measured by their performance.
Secondly, the wages of employees will also be affected. When everyone sees that farm workers in the surrounding areas receive higher wages than themselves, they will naturally feel anxious.
Dong Shuheng has no way to make them run well all the time. This is against economic laws.
In this period of economic upswing, there is no problem, everyone can make money.
But in the future, when the economy develops to a certain level, competition will become more intense. Many farms and factories will definitely decline or even be eliminated.
Dong Shuheng hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet. Maybe this problem will be left to future generations to solve.
