Chapter 566: The Lion Opens Its Mouth Wide
ngyu slightly smiled, “Captain Ma, team leaders like yourself ought to go back to the production team to record work points, right?”
The light in Captain Ma’s eyes dimd: Indeed, team leaders don’t have a salary, they only receive a little subsidy for etings or handling affairs at the commune. Normally, when working in the team office, they must return to the production team to record work points.
But since the divisions began last year, whenever they returned to their group to record work points, people in the group raised objections.
After all, previously with dozens or even hundreds of households per team, one team leader not working but recording work points wasn’t a big deal.
However, after dividing into groups, with just over a dozen households in each group and already fewer labor hands, having a team leader spending half their ti on duty in the office and still recording work points naturally stirred discontent.
If next year they moved to household contracting, where would these team leaders record their work points?
Without work points, what could the team leaders live on? Surely they shouldn’t be expected to work for free?
But he couldn’t show weakness in front of a young girl, smiled, and said, “Student Jiang, you are quite well-inford. But since you have managed to find out all this, haven’t you heard about the concept of ‘overall planning’?”
Indeed, just like Captain Ma heard, those pilot villages’ team leaders and Five Guarantees households were all fed through overall planning.
However, just thinking of team leaders eating the sa overall planning provisions as Five Guarantees households made him uncomfortable.
Suppressing a laugh, ngyu responded in surprise, “You an, you team leaders want to eat from overall planning like the Five Guarantees households? But do you think it would be easy to collect the overall planning funds?”
Captain Ma knew well that asking for money, especially asking the people for money for their own “compensation”, was never easy.
When the ti ca, not only might they not get the money, but he would also stand opposite all the masses.
Seeing the change in Captain Ma’s expression, ngyu knew she had touched a nerve.
“However, if you contract Ghost Valley to , I can provide monthly contract paynts to you all, which you could use to replace overall planning funds and give subsidies to team leaders.
Even, you could use this money for public benefit works for the team, like perhaps fixing up the team’s school, or providing fixed rations to Five Guarantees households.”
Watching Jiang ngyu, Captain Ma truly felt tempted.
Jiang ngyu continued, “Besides, the place I want to contract is Ghost Valley, where none of your team mbers dare to enter. Even if there could be so local products, no one dares to harvest them.
Contracting Ghost Valley to wouldn’t harm your team’s interests at all.”
Finally, Captain Ma was persuaded, “I heard, Ghost Valley is vast, at least several hundred acres, how much contract money are you planning to give our team annually?”
ngyu smiled, “What amount per acre do you think is appropriate, Captain Ma?”
Calculating in his mind, they had five team leaders, all strong laborers from their households, who could earn one hundred yuan a day working outside if they weren’t team leaders.
So, each person’s monthly subsidy should ideally be fifty yuan, totaling two hundred fifty for five people, amounting to three thousand yuan annually.
The Five Guarantees households need ten yuan each month, with fifteen in total for the whole team, requiring one hundred fifty monthly, and at least one thousand eight hundred annually – and if school repairs were added, it might cost over ten thousand a year.
At last, he gave a number: “How about one hundred yuan per acre per year?”
This was indeed the lion opening its mouth wide.
