The lives of the people in China had been in a state of insufficient industrial products for a long time. However, all of a sudden, industrial products were suddenly abundant and cheap. One could imagine how excited they were.
Su Yang gave the people 100 yuan as a token of appreciation. The equipment and construction of these factories did not cost money, so the cost was extremely low.
At the same time, these factories could also generate profits in the future.
It didn't matter if the market was saturated, as long as it could supply the needs of the common people.
The economic model that Su Yang had developed was very simple. It was the wartime economic model. That was to arrange for the people to carry out military production, engineering construction, commodity production, and then pay them wages.
The base provided basic living supplies. Even if all basic needs were met, it did not matter if the people saved a large sum of money through labor. They could build houses for the people to live in. At that time, the money in the hands of the people would have something to spend. As for food and other materials that were in short supply, they were temporarily supplied through the food stamp system.
In this wartime economic model, light industrial products were not made into fancy boards, nor were luxury industrial goods produced. They only met the basic needs of the people, but the prices were relatively cheap.
There were only two kinds of production and construction activities in the base area. One was to meet the basic needs of life, and the other was to meet the needs of war. Other things would be cut off in the face of war, and the most efficient use of labor resources would be put into the war.
This kind of wartime economic model was often used by western countries. During the Second World War, Ying-chan quickly restricted domestic consumption after participating in the war. All factories and labor were mobilized to participate in the war.
However, Su Yang's wartime economic model was a little different. That was the restriction on consumption. It was not as strict as the wartime mode of western countries. This was because Su Yang still needed to improve the living standards of the common people to obtain points.
This system quickly started operating, and a bunch of factories started operating.
However, at this time, Su Yang realized that he needed a lot of workers, but it seemed to be in conflict with the current agricultural model.
Nowadays, the agricultural model of the base area was still the small-scale peasant production model. Basically, all the people were farmers. In order to develop the industry, the labor force must be transferred from the agricultural population to become professional workers. Then, the small-scale agricultural production model would not be able to continue.
This was a situation that Su Yang had not expected before. Or rather, he had not fully considered the variable of the system. He was still learning from the development experience of China in the original space-time.
However, now there was a contradiction. Because of the system, Su Yang directly skipped the stage of China's population explosion and had the ability to build a large number of factories during the Anti-Japanese War. In this era, China only had a population of 400 million. This population was nothing in Su Yang's eyes, and the population of Changbai Mountain in the three eastern provinces was even smaller.
As the factories and engineering teams set up by Su Yang offered a monthly salary of 1200 yuan, a large number of farmers signed long-term contracts, and a group of landowners and squires came knocking on their doors.
"Chairman, if everyone goes to the factory and the engineering team, how are we going to plant our land?”
"That's right! If no one cultivates the land, they will starve to death?"
The group of landowners and squires protested one after another. Su Yang quickly waved his hand and said,"Everyone, calm down, calm down. Agricultural production is also very important. Let's have a meeting tomorrow to discuss this issue, okay?”
Since Su Yang had said so, what else could the group of landowners and squires say? They went back and waited for the meeting tomorrow.
The next day, the meeting was held outdoors.
Su Yang demonstrated the large-scale combined harvester, large-scale cultivator, and large-scale seeder that he had purchased from the system to these landowners.
When all the landowners and squires saw the efficiency of these agricultural machinery, they were all dumbstruck and dumbfounded.
"It's really ingenious!"
"A divine artifact, it's simply a divine artifact."
The group of landowners and squires immediately exclaimed and whispered to each other.
"Is the chairman a god?”
"Li Wenxian said that the martial star has descended.”
"I think so. If it's not a god who has descended to the mortal world, why would there be so many things?”
" High-tech, high-tech."
"Yes, yes, technology is the primary productive force. The chairman has emphasized it several times.”
For the first time, the group of landowners and squires experienced what technology was the number one productive force. These farm machinery, just like the excavators from before, gave them a great shock. And the shock was even greater. This was closely related to the agricultural production that they were in daily contact with.
"With these machines, one person can support hundreds or thousands of people. There shouldn't be any difficulty in farming, right?”Su Yang jumped down from the farm machinery and asked the group of landowners and squires.
"No, no more."
" There's absolutely no difficulty, just…"
"How do we use these machines?”
The group of landowners and squires returned to their original question and asked in confusion.
"How about this? The rent system of each village will continue to be maintained. You can manage the land that the tenant farmers can't grow. These farm machinery are public property. When you use them, you just have to pay a labor fee.”Su Yang said that these agricultural machinery could be free of charge when they were given to the tenant farmers. As for these landowners and squires, they naturally did not have to enjoy such preferential treatment.
"Excellent, excellent."
"Then let's disperse! Everyone went about their own business. There was still a lot of work to do!”Su Yang said. Thus, the group of landowners and squires left in satisfaction. The contradiction between labor was also resolved because of the emergence of these agricultural machinery.
Su Yang also suddenly found a new model, which was to directly carry out agricultural modernizations, freeing a large number of agricultural labor from the land and turning those farmers into workers.
The reason why they didn't do it directly was because there weren't many jobs in the factories and engineering teams. Therefore, a dual-track system was implemented first. A portion of the tenant farmers would be retained, while the land that the tenant farmers could not farm would be managed by the landowners.
According to the economic development experience of later generations, agriculture could not be nationalized, but industry must be nationalized.
After nationalizing the industry, the economy would develop faster. Mao Xiong and China had similar experiences and could quickly catch up to Yingjiang.
In terms of nationalization of industry, light industry could be nationalized or privatized. Each had its own advantages and disadvantages. However, the base was currently in a war economy, so they temporarily did not privatize light industry. As long as light industrial products could meet the needs of the people, there was no need for so many varieties. Light industrial products were all priced at the same level, and luxury goods were not produced.
The reason why agriculture could not be nationalized was that the natural conditions faced by agricultural production were more complicated. The terrain, climate, disasters, and so on were all different. The country could not plan well. The agricultural producers had to adapt to the situation. When the disaster occurred, the government would come forward to provide disaster relief and make up for the losses of the agricultural producers.
Of course, it was not that agricultural production could not be nationalized, but it could not be completely nationalized. For example, the production of grain in the plains was highly mechanized, and the conditions were not that complicated. There was not much of a problem with nationalization. On the contrary, the most advanced mechanized agricultural equipment could be used to maximize productivity.
If the production of agricultural products such as fruits was nationalized, it would not be appropriate under the current conditions of productivity.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:053201812:26PM
