He had already decided long ago, he had not thought about how the King would cooperate with the medicine farmers, and now that Li Ling had suggested it, he was a little conflicted: ”I am more inclined to the second way, because the first way is for the medicine farmers to be no different from working, and it seems that getting a fixed amount of money every month will be very unmotivated, moreover, it won't achieve our goal of reducing poverty.”
Li Ling nodded her head, and said: ”That's right, according to my understanding, the rent of a first-rate field in Yinzaki County is already much higher than the market price of 600 yuan per mu of land, the salary of the locals per person still cannot reach the minimum wage of Caiyun Province, even if we give them 3000 yuan per month, it would not be of any use.”
Three thousand yuan a month for the Qingxi to eat was already a high salary for the people of the Yinzaki County. However, in terms of the market, it was not even worth that much.
Giving fish to others was better than giving fish to others. They wanted to do charity, but that did not mean that giving money to others for the locals to grow themselves, and then going to the purchasing department according to the market price was clearly the best method.
Li Ling then continued to speak, ”Actually, I also favor the first method, but the short-sighted and light thinking that the locals bring along with them brings me quite a few problems. I have randomly interviewed some people from a special group and found that most of them are a bit eager for quick results, and don't have a long-term perspective.”
”Farmers, after all, are like that.” Hearing that, Zheng Hong shrugged his shoulders, then turned and scolded: ”Shut up, what do you mean, there's no farmer? You have no right to look down on the civilian population.
The reason why you are able to live so well now is all because of you and me! You can be a city man now not because you have a good place in your ancestors? ” China has a population of 1.4 billion and by this year's time, the resident population of the cities was close to 800 million. Not many of the ancestors were city dwellers, and most of them were urbanized due to economic growth.
Qin Yue's family was currently still a part of the town, but a few years ago, they were still considered rural. Thus, they only occupied a good position in the city, and once it developed to their home, they became urban again.
Changing the environment, the people in the city might not be like the people in the countryside. Why did they look down on the people in the city? Furthermore, farmers should not be considered as such in the first place, and farming should only be considered a job. Regardless of whether they were people or jobs, there should not be any distinction between high and low.
After being retorted upon, Zheng Hong laughed dryly twice, and said in an embarrassed manner: ”Brother Qin Ye, I didn't mean that.
Just take it as a slip of the tongue, and ignore me. ” If it was before, he would not have thought like this. Qin Yue was too lazy to bother with him, and indicated for Li Ling to continue, then Li Ling said: ”Because we are in a hurry to make good progress, so they are more concerned about the purchase price, and when they will be able to earn money. This is already related to the growth cycle of the medicinal herbs, if we are able to pick up money within too long of a time, very few people would be willing to do it.”
”The other problem I have to consider is that due to the lack of education, they don't have the science of farming in Yinqi. They have never planted medicinal herbs before, so they don't know how to grow them.”
”That's what I'm thinking about.” Qin Yue nodded his head, although the seedlings cultivated by the System would have a stronger adaptability, they would still need to be carefully tended, and this was not something that could be settled just like him, who was happily playing on a farm.
Being a farmer was not shameful, nor was it shameful to be poor. However, due to the environment, it brought about many problems. This was something that needed to be faced with. No matter who it was, only by clearly seeing themselves could there be development.
At this time, Lin Ling said: ”Even if it's just simply hiring them, there's still a problem. They don't have any experience, and how do they manage the cooking, so there's only one way, they won't teach, since you guys are also doing charity.”
