Food is the most important thing for the people. For the people, the first thing is to be able to eat enough. The history of China illustrates this problem. As long as you eat enough, the country will be stable. If you don’t eat enough, the country will be in turmoil.

And for the Soviet Union, the same was true. During the war, due to foreign invasions, even if they were hungry, they had to support the front line. This was a common enemy.

Now, history has gone away. The new generation has not experienced the cruel World War II and is not so firm in their faith. To make their users Soviets and support the red rule, they must make them feel that they are living a happy life. This is the basic condition.

In history, the Soviet Union had been poor in grain harvest since 1979, and imported grain became a net importer from 1975. In 1970, the Soviet Union had a net export of 3.5 million tons, and in 1974, the import of grain remained the same, and in 1975, it reached a scale of tens of millions of tons. After that, the efforts to import grain continued to increase. For example, in 1984, the United States and Canada alone imported 26.8 million tons of grain. After 1986, it became even more serious. The food shortage was about 21 billion rubles, and the total food production was only 136 billion rubles at that time. In addition to a large amount of imported grain, other food-related categories also needed to be imported. For example, in 1989, 600,000 tons of meat, 240,000 tons of cream, 1.2 million tons of vegetable oil, 5.5 million tons of sugar, and 500,000 tons of citrus.

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

Is it because of the continuous growth of the population? Of course not! In addition to the rapid growth of the population after World War II and reached an annual growth rate of 17% of the year, the population growth rate continued to decline in the following period.

What is the reason? It is a natural disaster? Of course, it is not. In recent years, almost no large-scale natural disasters have occurred! Then, there is only another reason left, people's enthusiasm for labor! This is no longer the period when the Soviet Union was just founded, nor the period of World War II. Now, people's enthusiasm for labor is extremely low!

Even in a city factory, during work, workers come out one after another and go to the mall to queue up for shopping. Without special measures, under the system of big pot rice, the inefficiency will inevitably be accompanied by inefficiency!

Regarding agricultural reform, Andrei once made a suggestion to Andropov that this agricultural reform requires breaking the system of big pot rice and implementing a responsibility system!

(As for this system, when it was just proposed, it was called a brainless person by a small number of book friends, and even readers with 0 fans worth yelling at the abandonment of books. The hero of East China is here to explain again that the Soviets have vast land and not enough people engaged in agricultural production, so the responsibility system for family joint production is not suitable. However, putting aside the phenomenon and looking at the essence, the hero of East China does not mean that the land should be cultivated according to each family. The core idea is the division of responsibilities! Under the Soviet system, everything is allocated by superiors. Seeds, fertilizers, agricultural machinery, planting corn or wheat are all decided by superiors. Farmers only need to farm and do not need to bear any responsibility. Even if all the growing of the land is grass, it has nothing to do with them! The hero of East China is a farmer born in a farmer.

The village has a deep understanding of all this. Under the domestic big pot meal system, the work points are purely about work but not work hard. No one will be responsible! And the Soviet Union at that time was the same! Therefore, the core of the reform was responsibility! The land was managed by farmers, and the superiors only collected part of the tax, and the rest were operated independently by farmers. They plant whatever they wanted. The income from the grain they planted was closely related to farmers. Only in this case can the farmers be mobilized and they can devote themselves to agricultural production! As for whom they distributed, it can be a family or multiple families combined to contract a farm! Well, those who want to swear the heroes of East China can continue to swear. Also, there is no charge for this part of the word count.)

At that time, Andre was just a suggestion. The specific implementation had to be made by Andropov. No matter what he did, it would touch a large number of vested interests. Therefore, the reform measures must be steady, targeted and realistic. Now that the country is fully fighting against corruption, the resistance to reform is very small.

Under this circumstance, Gerbachev, who was in charge of agriculture, carried out agricultural reforms in China. It was precisely because of the success of his agricultural reforms that he accumulated capital to enter the **********.

"Yes, report to the General Secretary and all the members of the *******." Gerbachev said: "The reforms we have carried out in agriculture are to vigorously promote the collective agricultural contracting system. Our agriculture must take the development path of co-production contracting. We no longer carry out planned agricultural production, and we have completely handed over to the grassroots farmers. At the same time, our country no longer invests in agriculture. Our funds are purchased from farmers. The agricultural machinery and equipment in the original body farm are sold to farmers after we estimate the price, because farmers do not have much funds for the time being, and can be temporarily provided with interest-free loans, and after the production is sold, they will be repaid to the state. At the same time, farmers need to pay a certain agricultural tax to the state. In other words, our agriculture will no longer be interfering and will be completely handed over to farmers to operate independently. I promote contracting and co-systems at the production team, production team and family level."

In the past, this was completely contrary to socialist ideas. In the Stalin era, if anyone dared to do this, he would definitely go to Siberia to be exiled and transformed. But now, with the support of Andropov, this reform is being smoothly promoted.

"After such reforms, we have greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers. Last year, we achieved a great harvest of Ukraine's agricultural production in Ukraine for a pilot project. This year, we promoted it in the whole of the Soviet Union. After careful statistics, our country's total grain output this year is 230 million tons. We no longer need to import grain to the West. After forecasting, our grain production will exceed 250 million tons next year. At that time, we will not only not have to import grain to the West, but we can even export some grain, or use it for reserves."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, which was a very important turning point! The Soviets finally solved the food problem! Don’t worry that the West will block the Soviets’ neck by refusing to export food!

Andrei also nodded. This policy is actually almost similar to the agricultural reforms implemented by Geerbachev in history after he came to power. After carefully examining the great success of China's agricultural reforms and in connection with the actual situation of the Soviet Union, Geerbachev also launched this set of promotion contracts and co-systems at the production team, production team and family level.

Unfortunately, Georbachev’s failure in history was not because this system was not applicable, but because the Soviet Union was already terminally ill. Georbachev, as the General Secretary, did not have enough ability to implement it. This system touched the interests of too many people. Under the original planned economy, all government departments at all levels could benefit. Needless to say, the funds allocated by the state for agricultural production could be detained by them!

But what about now? The interests of these people are 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 money and purchase food directly from farmers! If someone dares to engage in corruption in these aspects, the local KGB organization will come forward to send them to the places they should go. (To be continued.)
