Chapter 47 Crediting Points Based on Work
However, Su Qing's original beautiful plan ultimately failed.
Her proposal to rent a shop on the town center road for personal business was not approved.
This model, which will be called individual business in the future, still has a long way to go. In the absence of clear national policies, Jinggu County does not dare to set such a precedent.
It was discovered afterwards that Bai Lanfang, who was far away in Lingxi County, was also involved in this matter. She sent a letter to her father Bai Yudong who worked in the county.
Although Bai Yudong was an old cadre who had just retired from a leadership position, he was highly respected and his objections had a profound impact on the decision-making of this matter.
The plan was thwarted and the original idea of staying in the county could no longer be implemented.
"There's no other way. I can only go back to Hongxing Village." Su Qing had no choice but to discuss this with Lu Xingchen.
For this matter, Lu Xingchen visited relevant leaders and departments of the county government successively. Even County Mayor Sun Hao was visited by Lu Xingchen twice.
But the attitude of opposition was very consistent and resolute.
After returning to Hongxing Village, Su Qing immediately started working on her research.
She visited the captains and team leaders of the three brigades of Xingfu Commune, group leaders, key personnel, skilled workers, etc., and conducted comprehensive and in-depth interviews and talks to gain a better understanding of the situation.
She walked the streets and alleys for several days, whether in the mountains, forests, or fields, and recorded a set of detailed first-hand information.
With the help of Su Qing and Lin Yueran, Su Qing gradually found out the conditions of the fields, rivers, ponds and forests owned by the commune. Even the specific information such as where each family's private plot was and how big it was were recorded clearly.
Statistical analysis was also conducted on the various types of crops grown in the commune's jurisdiction.
"Secretary, I want to discuss something with you." After Su Qing had clearly registered the situation of the commune and was familiar with the relevant circumstances, Su Qing found Secretary Su Wangxing.
"What? You mean I want an individual to contract the land of Xiangyang Brigade?" The suggestion put forward by Su Qing was undoubtedly an unprecedented bold idea and concept. Su Wangxing hesitated for a long time and did not dare to respond directly.
This year, Longquan Village encountered a super typhoon that occurs once in thirty years. Although the rice was harvested in time, the yield was not satisfactory because it was not yet mature.
In addition to rice, corn, sugarcane and other crops suffered heavy losses. According to the basic situation of the commune, the harvest in the first half of the year was seriously reduced compared with last year. The data in the first half of the year was less than one-fifth of the harvest in the same period last year.
If it weren’t for Su Qing’s previous cash support of 2,000 yuan, the normal operations of the commune would have been in jeopardy.
Moreover, now is the critical moment for the cultivation of agricultural seeds in the second half of the year. Su Qing promised that she could contract the fields of Xiangyang Brigade with 10% more than last year's total harvest.
This idea is very bold and also full of great temptation.
Production was reduced by four-fifths in the first half of the year. We are now in the recovery period. Future extreme weather conditions such as typhoons, heavy rains, etc. are unpredictable.
The brigade's income for the whole year can be guaranteed. Despite the reduction in production in the first half of the year, Su Qing's total contract price has increased instead of decreased compared with the whole of last year.
Su Guoqiang, the team leader, was the first to agree.
When Su Qing arrived at Su Wangxing's place, she obtained Su Wangxing's consent and checked the town's accounts. The results were not optimistic.
There are obvious problems with the commune's financial records, especially in terms of a comprehensive and in-depth understanding and statistics of last year's revenue and expenditure.
Bai Lanxiang is the accountant of the Happiness Brigade. Perhaps because she is a bystander, she can see things more clearly. Regarding the problems pointed out by Lin Yueran in the statistics, Bai Lanxiang apologized for her low-level mistakes. With the help of Lin Yueran, she quickly revised and improved the financial statements, and the accounts were quickly corrected.
Bai Lanxiang was very grateful to Lin Yueran for her timely discovery, otherwise the longer the time, the more difficult it would be to correct the mistake.
Lin Yueran is indeed outstanding in accounting business methods.
In the previous life, Lin Yueran was the financial director of Su Qing Company and provided great support to the company in terms of finance.
After two consecutive checks, Lin Yueran discovered that the income and expenditure of Xiangyang Brigade were unbalanced, and the gap was in the work points recording process.
That is, the total amount of money exchanged for the work points issued throughout the year is far greater than the total net profit of the whole year.
This was undoubtedly a major human error, which resulted in a deficit on paper.
After Su Qing's in-depth analysis, Su Wangxing had a new understanding of the current situation facing the commune. The key was that the contracting plan proposed by Su Qing was indeed attractive.
Su Wangxing agreed to let Su Qing start from Xiangyang Production Team and give it a try.
"It will only take half a year. If we find any problems during the process, we will unilaterally terminate the contract."
Such a request was undoubtedly an unfair clause, but Su Qing still agreed.
Next, Su Qing classified and marked the next work points according to the previously registered list of farmland. She knew the root cause of the current situation, so now she just needed to prescribe the right remedy.
"What? They want us to choose work points. What the hell is this?"
"Yes, how can a little girl like her be a scorekeeper? Why should she be the one to decide our work points?"
"Collective labor, eight-hour workday, these old practices, how can she just break them?"
"Don't worry about her. After work, you get the work points you deserve today. She doesn't keep track of the points, so we all just have to keep track."
……
A new day of work was about to begin. When the villagers heard that they would be scored based on their work, they all expressed their opposition, and no one even paid attention to Su Qing.
The distribution according to work that Su Qing just announced is actually very simple. It is to divide each type of work into three categories according to the difficulty and workload of the job, with the difficult job being 10 work points, the relatively difficult job being 8 work points, and the relatively easy job being 5 work points.
This is completely different from the past, when adult male workers received 10 work points a day, adult female workers received 8 work points, and minors received 5 work points.
In the past, as long as you participated in labor within the specified time, you would be credited with corresponding work points.
It is different now. A certain number of work points are set. As long as you complete the work and it is accepted by the scorekeeper, your work for the day is completed. You can even leave work early and your work points will still be recorded.
Some villagers who usually worked diligently, upon seeing this method of dividing work points, turned around, picked up what they thought were good work points, and started working underground with their tools.
"If you don't come, the good work points will be taken away by others."
"Let's go and take a look."
Seeing someone take the lead, another small group of people came over.
Basically, they were divided into groups of three or five according to family composition and started working separately.
In fact, Su Qing used the household contract responsibility system that would be rolled out nationwide in the next few years. She just flexibly combined it with the current commune scoring model and made some improvements and adjustments.
Finally, those lazy guys who liked to be lazy and take advantage of the collective labor also came over very reluctantly.
"Who wants to do this kind of work? It's only five work points."
"And this, it takes a lot of work to get done, how come it's only eight work points?"
Those lazy guys looked disgusted, but when they saw others working enthusiastically, they realized that if they didn't start today, they would not even get five work points.
After returning from work in the evening, Su Qing also collected information about the other two production teams from Su Qing and Lin Yueran.
The early visits and heart-to-heart talks also played a huge role, based on the information gained from the talks.
Tonight, Su Qing decided to call Su Yao and Lin Yueran to work together to divide the work points more reasonably.
