There is a song painted on Tik Tok: Heroes who pay public grain-please be kind to them.

Who else can remember that time,

The patch is kimchi.

Tighten your belt, and the whole people will pay off their foreign debts.

Farmers often can't lift the pot cover.

The sack is carried by people, and the stick is broken by hand.

Get up early, sweat profusely,

Public grain has been paid for 30 years.

Now they are old and weak,

Bend over with a gray mane.

It is difficult to get the minimum living allowance without a pension.

Hope to get social care.

Judging from 79,000 likes, more than 9,000 collections and 1.6 million reposts, it really resonated with many people!

In the video, the singer is a young man, saying that public grain is used to pay off foreign debts for 30 years. Obviously, he doesn't understand the background of public grain distribution. At that time, farmers paid public grain for the Republic in the form of scissors difference between industrial and agricultural products, which was the foundation for the establishment of the Republic, and the time of grain payment spanned more than half a century from the early 1950s to 2006.

The so-called public grain, formerly known as land tax and later changed to agricultural tax, is the agricultural product tax paid by farmers to the state in kind, which has been the main source of state finance for thousands of years.

The so-called scissors difference refers to the difference between the price of industrial products above value and the price of agricultural products below value when industrial and agricultural products are exchanged. It is named because it is displayed in the form of scissors difference through charts. In my memory, in the 1980s and 1990s, the market price of grain was about 0.33-0.36 yuan/kg for wheat and 0.165-0.185 yuan/kg for public grain, which was only half of its value.

The farmers' working and living conditions sung in the song are the truth: manual labor, tightening one's belt, and the pot lid can't be opened-indeed, the author is 65 years old, and the per capita cultivated land in the village is 0.7~0.8 mu. At that time, the annual output of wheat and corn was about 500 kg, and the task of paying public grain was about 300 kg/person. In hot June, it is delivered to the grain depot several kilometers or more by hand or cart. After strict acceptance (if unqualified, no acquaintances will do it again), take back a white note and hand it over to the village to pay various taxes and fees. If it is not enough, wait until the corn is sold out in autumn.

The main force of paying public grain is after 40, 50, 60 and 70. Now, some of these farmers are dead, and most of them have entered a dead end. I sincerely hope that they can also enjoy the fruits of social development, turn the previous taxes into social security, receive pensions like city people, and live a dignified and dignified old age?
