In a large group of 100 people, the output of one's own efforts and the fruits of one's efforts can be determined to fall on one's head. Only one percent. One percent gain is not enough for people to endure ninety-nine percent.

suffered a loss.

With such considerations in mind, Li Mengxi believes that a good balance can be struck between collectivization and privatization, so that the advantages of high organization and high production efficiency of collectivization can be utilized while the incentive effect of privatization can be utilized.

Privatization is about individuals, collectivization is about large numbers of people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To balance the two, use the [small collectivization] production model. While ensuring production efficiency, the smaller the group, the better.

Agricultural production includes sowing, plowing, harvesting, field plowing, and many other productions.

Li Mengxi needed data, an optimal number of manpower that could take into account production arrangements and be small enough, and use this number of manpower as the most basic unit of small collectivization.

However, what is the optimal number of manpower remains to be tested.

This is just the arrangement of farming itself. In addition to farming, production activities also include raising cattle, raising livestock, growing vegetables, planting trees, collecting firewood, collecting dung, grinding flour, etc.

In view of the fact that farming is the only production project that requires a large amount of labor. However, raising cattle, raising livestock, growing vegetables, collecting firewood, and grinding flour require insufficient labor, making it difficult to use the small collective model like farming.

In order to stimulate production efficiency as much as possible, incentives should be used.

If you use the reward method, please refer to the craftsman camp. There are two production methods in the craftsman camp, one is calculated by pieces, and the other is calculated by days. If calculated by days, the amount of food rationed after each day of work is calculated by pieces.

For example, every time a wooden bowl is made, each bowl is allocated a certain amount of grain.

According to this method, corresponding to the many fragmented productions in collective production, those who raise cattle can formulate a reward plan for the cattle raisers. It is agreed that the cow will give birth to a calf, and the cattle raiser will be rewarded how much. It is agreed that the cattle will be rewarded for each kilogram of meat.

How many kilograms of grain does a cow have?

Those who grow vegetables will be rewarded with a certain amount of grain for each number of vegetables they provide to the collective; those who plant trees will be rewarded with a reward for each number of seedlings that survive; those who grind flour will be rewarded with a certain amount of grain for each amount of flour they grind.

These are all rewarded and motivated on a piece-rate basis.

As for chores that are not easy to calculate by piece, such as collecting cow dung, washing and cooking, since these chores are light and not as tiring as farming, they can be paid as basic wages. That is, those who farm can be allocated grain and those who raise chickens.

Those who raise cattle can get meat, and those who make fires for cooking. Because the work is light, they only have one meal a day, and there are no extra rewards.

With this set of things in place, the beginning of collectivization has emerged.

Li Mengxi summoned all idle officials and held a large-scale discussion on formulating detailed rules for collective production.
