Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Oh, the production responsibility system... tell me more about it."

Comrade XX seems to be interested in this.

Ai Gaofeng simply stopped considering other options and said, "My personal opinion is that we could try implementing a responsibility system with production teams as the unit. The brigade would be divided up, and each production team would do its own thing. After paying the state's public grain tax, all the grain they produced would belong to them. The production team would handle it themselves. They could keep it for themselves or sell it."

"Then how are the means of production distributed?"

The leaders are very familiar with the situation in rural areas.

The current collective production, or what Ai Gaofeng calls the "big pot meal", is based on production brigades.

The production brigade was later the administrative village.

The largest brigade has more than a thousand people, and the smallest has several hundred people.

This actually involves a more difficult management level.

A regiment in the army only had about 2,000 men, all soldiers who obeyed orders, and the internal relationships were far less complex than those of a production brigade. Even so, a regimental commander who could be considered an outstanding leader was already the backbone of the army, a rare talent.

The regimental commander of the army has the same rank as the local county party secretary.

Obviously, it is impossible to require every branch secretary and team leader of a rural production brigade to have the same management level as a regimental commander.

The planned economy has both advantages and disadvantages. The biggest problem is that it places very high demands on every level of management. You can imagine the entire country as a giant machine, and every component must be perfect for the machine to operate smoothly.

In reality, this is impossible to do.

Any flaw in any small link will affect the normal operation of the whole.

Ai Gaofeng's current proposal to implement a responsibility system based on production teams is equivalent to breaking down this huge machine into countless small machines. If one machine breaks down, it will not affect other machines.

But the means of production are currently concentrated in the production brigades.

"Equally."

Ai Gaofeng had already thought about it and answered immediately.

"If it's not evenly divided, we'll take turns."

"Only by doing so can grain production hope to break through the current bottleneck and reach a new level."

The leader did not comment.

Ai Gaofeng continued, "The production responsibility system can solve the problem of food shortages. In addition, we need to expand private plots in rural areas and allocate more land to cooperative members. They can grow vegetables, beans, and fruit trees. These things can also increase production."

"Because it's their own product, they will pay attention when serving it, and the output will naturally increase."

"With these as the premise, the agricultural revitalization in Chuzhou area will have a foundation."

Comrade XX smiled slightly and asked, "Oh, there's a follow-up? Then tell me, what does it mean to revitalize agriculture?"

Ai Gaofeng had already considered this point.

Part of it was based on the suggestions made by Liu Hongyi last night, and the other part came from his own thinking.

Ai Gaofeng himself is a senior regional leader who has worked his way up from the grassroots level and has extensive experience.

He immediately replied: "Deep processing!"

"If we want to revitalize agriculture, we can't just focus on primary production, as it won't be of high value."

"So Comrade Chu An and I have discussed that our next step is to build a canning factory. We will mainly produce canned oranges, canned bayberries, and canned pears. The source of raw materials is easy to solve. As long as we allocate more private plots to rural members, they can grow these fruits. In addition, Chuzhou has many economic forest farms that can also provide a large amount of fruit."

"Fruit is not easy to preserve for a long time, and its sales volume is not high at the moment. Only by canning it can it be sold."

"Canned food is also an export product that earns foreign exchange."

The leader laughed.

"Haha, exporting to earn foreign exchange... Well, you've found a good breakthrough."

Seeing the meaningful smile on his leader's face, Ai Gaofeng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Undoubtedly, their little thoughts had long been seen through by their leaders.

Under the guise of exporting to earn foreign exchange, they actually want to avoid risks and get more export quotas from the country.

At the same time, some products can be exported and sold domestically, enriching the Chuzhou region's own market.

However, the leader did not "expose" them, but used a word with a certain positive connotation, such as "breakthrough".

"Another thing we want to do is to set up a peanut oil and tea oil processing company."

"Chuzhou's peanuts and tea seeds have high yields and good quality, making them excellent raw materials for oil extraction. As long as we implement the production responsibility system and increase production, the factory will have no worries about raw materials and output."

"This way, the region and county will have more ways to earn foreign exchange, and the members will benefit more. It's the best of both worlds."

"The most important point is that as grain production increases, feed mills and farms can be opened up and their scale can be expanded. Currently, the export of live pigs, eggs, and even broiler chickens is the largest and most stable foreign trade item."

"There's a lot of potential in this matter!"

After some explanation, Ai Gaofeng gradually relaxed and no longer felt as nervous as he did at the beginning. When he spoke excitedly, his cheeks flushed.

Seeing Ai Gaofeng pause, the leader asked, "Oh, are you done?"

Ai Gaofeng hesitated for a moment and said, "These are my thoughts..."

As he said this, he glanced at Liu Chuan.

The leader said kindly, "Comrade Liu Chuan, do you have anything else to add?"

Liu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Leader, Comrade Ai Gaofeng has already covered a lot of ground. I'd like to add one point. Regarding industrial technological strength, we can consider military-civilian cooperation."

"Military-civilian cooperation?"

"Yes, leader. Chuzhou has many military-industrial enterprises, and their technical strength is still very strong. If they can support our local industrial construction, it will be a great help to us."

"At the same time, military-industrial enterprises also have many children of employees who need employment arrangements. It is difficult for military-industrial enterprises to absorb these unemployed children. If we cooperate with military-industrial enterprises to build factories, we can arrange jobs for some of these children."

"Well, this is a good idea, quite interesting..."

The leader nodded.

"How about this? Tomorrow, I'll have someone from the office take you to the Foreign Trade and Economic Commission to talk to them and see if they can give you some export-earning targets."

Ai Gaofeng and Liu Chuan looked at each other again, both overjoyed.

This is not just a matter of indicators. It means that the leaders have not denied the ideas they put forward. In a sense, the leaders are supportive.

It can even be said that the leaders are cleverly helping them avoid risks.
