Chapter 522: No need to import food

People take food as their heaven. For the common people, the first thing is to be able to eat enough. The history of China shows this problem. As long as the stomach is full, the country will be stable. If there is not enough food, the country will be in turmoil.

The same is true for the Soviet Union. During the war, because of the invasion of foreign enemies, even if they were hungry, they had to support the front line. This is a common enemy.

But now, history is gone, the new generation has not experienced the cruel World War II, and is not so firm in their beliefs. If they want to use the Soviets and support the red rule, they must feel that they are living happily. Caixing, eat a full stomach, this is the basic condition.

In history, the Soviet Union has had a bad harvest of grain since 1979, and imported grain has become a net importer of grain since 1975. In 1970, the Soviet Union had a net export of 3.5 million tons of grain. In 1974, the import and export of grain was the same. In 1975, it began to import grain, reaching a scale of tens of millions of tons. Since then, grain imports have continued to increase. For example, in the 84 years of history, grain imports from the United States and Canada alone reached 26.8 million tons. After 1986, it was even more serious. The food shortage was about 21 billion rubles, and the total food production at that time was only 136 billion rubles. In addition to a large amount of imported grain, other food-related categories also need to be imported. For example, in 1989, 600,000 tons of meat, 240,000 tons of butter, 1.2 million tons of vegetable oil, 5.5 million tons of sugar, and 500,000 tons of citrus were imported.

Because of the problem of food, the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1980s, and it was already full of complaints. All the profits from exporting oil had to be invested in the bottomless pit of food, and therefore the Soviet Union had to look at the West's face.

Is it because the population is growing? of course not! In addition to the rapid population growth of the Soviet Union after World War II, which reached an annual growth rate of 17/1000, the population growth rate has continued to decline in the following period.

That's for what reason? Is it a natural disaster? Of course not. Over the years, there have been almost no large-scale natural disasters! Then, there is only one other reason left, people's labor enthusiasm! This is no longer the period when the Soviet Union was just founded, nor the period of World War II. Now, people's labor enthusiasm is extremely low!

Even in a factory in a city, it is not uncommon for workers to come out one after another during the working hours and queue up for shopping at the mall. Without special measures, the system of big pot rice is bound to be accompanied by low efficiency!

Regarding agricultural reform, Andrei once suggested to Andropov at the beginning. This agricultural reform needs to break the system of big pot rice and implement the responsibility system!

(About this system, when it was first proposed, it was scolded by a small number of book friends as a brainless, and even readers with 0 fan value scolded for abandoning books. The hero of East China is here, and once again explain that the Soviets have a vast land and are engaged in The population of agricultural production is not large enough, so the household contract responsibility system is not suitable. However, looking at the essence of the phenomenon, East China Hero does not mean that the land should be cultivated according to each household, the core idea of ​​which is the division of responsibilities. Under the Soviet system, everything is allocated by the superiors. Seeds, fertilizers, agricultural machinery, whether to plant corn or wheat are all decided by the superiors. The farmers only need to cultivate the land and do not need to bear any responsibility, even if the land grows. All that comes out is grass, and it has nothing to do with them! Huadong Zhixiong was born in a rural area, and has a very deep understanding of all this. Under the domestic big pot rice system, the work points are simply not working hard, doing good work and bad one. In this way, no one has a sense of responsibility! This was also the case in the Soviet Union at that time! Therefore, the core of reform is responsibility! The land is managed by the farmers, and the superiors only collect part of the tax, and the rest are operated by the farmers themselves. What you plant and the income you get from the food you grow are closely related to farmers. Only in this case can farmers be motivated to invest in agricultural production! As for who to share, it can be a family, or It can be a combination of multiple families to contract a farm! Well, if you want to spray the hero of East China, you can continue spraying, and there is no charge for this part of the word count.)

At that time, Andrei was just a suggestion. The specific implementation had to be decided by Andropov. No matter what he did, it would touch a large number of vested interests. Therefore, the reform measures must be prudent and prudent. Targeted and realistic. But now that the country is fighting corruption in an all-round way, there is little resistance to reform.

Under such circumstances, Geerbachev, who was mainly in charge of agriculture, carried out agricultural reforms in the country. And it is precisely because of the success of his agricultural reform that he has accumulated capital to enter the world.

"Yes, General Secretary of the report, fellow members of the Communist Party of China." Geerbachev said: "The reform we have carried out in agriculture is to vigorously advocate the agricultural collective contract system. Our agriculture must be contracted by joint production. We no longer carry out planned agricultural production and hand it over to farmers at the grassroots level. At the same time, our country no longer invests in agriculture. Our funds buy food from farmers, while The agricultural machinery and equipment in the original organic farm were sold to farmers after our valuation. Because farmers do not have much funds for the time being, they can temporarily provide them in the form of interest-free loans. After production, they will sell the food and then repay it to the state. At the same time, farmers need to pay a certain amount of agricultural tax to the state. That is to say, in our agriculture, the state will no longer interfere, and the farmers will be completely independent. I promote contracting and the same system at the level of production teams, production groups and families ."

In the past, this was a complete departure from socialist ideas. In the Stalin era, anyone who dared to do this would have to go to Siberia for exile and reform, but now, with the support of Andropov, this time Reform is progressing smoothly.

"After such reforms, we have greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers. Last year, we were pilot projects in Ukraine, and we achieved a bumper harvest in Ukraine's agriculture that year. This year, we have promoted them all over the Soviet Union. After careful statistics , this year's total national grain output is 230 million tons. We no longer need to import grain from the West. We have predicted that our grain production will exceed 250 million tons next year. Not only do we not have to import food from the West, we can even export some of it, or use it for storage.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief This is a very important turning point! The Soviets, the food problem has finally been solved! Don't worry about the West getting the Soviets by their necks by refusing to export grain!

Andrei also nodded. In fact, this policy is almost similar to the agricultural reform implemented by Geerbachev in history after he came to power. Geerbachev also introduced this set to promote contracting and the same system at the level of production teams, production groups and families.

It is a pity that Geerbachev did not succeed in history. It is not that this system is inapplicable, but that the Soviet Union is terminally ill. As the general secretary, Geerbachev simply does not have enough ability to carry it out. This system touched for the benefit of too many people. Under the original planned economy, government personnel at all levels could benefit from it. Needless to say, the funds allocated by the state for agricultural production could be withheld by them!

But what about now? The interests of these people are all gone, and even the functions of these departments have been lost. The state will no longer invest any money in agriculture. The state only needs to prepare the money and purchase food directly from farmers! If anyone dares to corrupt in these areas, the local KGB organization will come forward and send them where they should go. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
