农业税的夏征工作就要到来了。本月二十五日中央人民政府政务院颁布了『一九五一年夏季征收公粮工作的指示』。夏征虽不如秋征那样普遍,却也是关系到几万万农民和国家财政的一件大事。今年夏征工作,是在广大新区刚刚完成土地改革之后。这些地区的封建土地制度已经消灭了,农民再不用向地主交纳地租了,但他们在生产上仍有许多困难。许多土地在土地改革过程中带苗转移,使夏收和负担上产生了许多复杂问题。同时,在土地改革完成的地区,还要在夏收后开始征收土地证费。因此,今年夏征工作,是一个艰巨而复杂的任务。 The summer taxation of agricultural tax is coming soon. On the 25th of this month, the Central Government Department of the People’s Government issued the “Directive on the Work of Collecting Public Grain in the Summer of 1951”. Although the summer levy is not as common as the Autumn Syndrome, it is also a matter of concern to hundreds of millions of peasants and state finances. This year’s summer recruitment work is just after the completion of the land reform in the vast new district. The system of feudal land in these areas has been eliminated, and peasants no longer have to pay rent to the landlords, but they still have many difficulties in their production. Much of the land was diverted by the land reform process, creating many complex problems in terms of summer harvest and burden. In the meantime, in the areas where the land reform is completed, land certificate fees will also be levied after the summer harvest. Therefore, the summer recruitment this summer is an arduous and complicated task.
