1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Wei Dabao from your town forestry farm? I know him. We sat together at a meeting in the county a few days ago. What's the matter?" Liu Dayou asked.

Actually, he was a little hesitant. He was indeed familiar with Wei Dabao, but it also depended on how difficult Chen Tiezhu's task was.

If he just approved a note and bought a few pieces of wood, it would be fine. If he bought too much, he would not have the face to do so.

"What is it actually? I want to plant more land next year. I was thinking about whether their forestry farm has wasteland, tree-lined land, etc., and I was thinking about contracting some." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"But I haven't met Director Wei, so I'm afraid it would be rude to walk up to him rashly. It's just right that Brother Liu knows him. Can you help introduce him? What do you think of this? Can it work?"

This is the way he thought of to rent land. The village can't move, but the forestry farm can think of a way.

After all, the forestry farm is a special unit. Although it is under the management of the county forestry farm, the town forestry farm also has a certain degree of autonomy.

Han Xiuying, who was eavesdropping on the side, was somewhat relieved. Just an introduction seemed to be nothing.

"Brother, there is definitely no problem with the introduction. Whenever you want to go, tell me and we will go there immediately." Liu Dayou said.

"But you still have to think carefully about renting the land. I have never heard of such a precedent. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If I remember correctly, the town forest farm should be a unit managed by the county forestry bureau and your town, right?"

In fact, this is also a reminder to Chen Tiezhu, brother, did you find the wrong person?

For such a matter, if Mayor Han comes forward, wouldn't it be solved in minutes?

But this can't be said clearly, he doesn't know what Chen Tiezhu is up to.

"Brother Liu, actually, I have some concerns about this matter." Chen Tiezhu thought for a while and said.

"In the past, no matter what I did, I was always a family member. But if I do this as a family member, it will be easy to be criticized."

Hearing his words, Han Xiuying, who was about to explode, decided to hold back.

What do you mean by family member? I never agreed to it.

"Yingzi was named by the provincial leaders and arranged in our town. As a family member, I have to..."

"Let's talk about business."

Han Xiuying still couldn't help it.

"Well, let's talk about business, so this time I will handle this matter as Chen Tiezhu of Erdaoling Village." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Okay, brother, you don't have to say it, brother understands." Liu Da nodded.

"But there are many things involved in this matter. Whether your town forest farm can set a precedent is one aspect, and how much land you can contract is another aspect."

"Another thing is how much money you have to pay to the forest farm? If it's too little, they will say we are taking advantage. If it's too much, who will do such a thing as losing money to gain publicity?"

"And farming requires not only money, but also people. If it's too little, it's not worth it. If it's too much, it will cost a lot of money. One acre of land, including seeds and fertilizers, costs a lot of money, right?"

Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded, "It does cost a lot of money. Take corn seeds for example, 4 yuan per catty, which is more expensive than ginseng seeds. For seeds alone, one acre of land costs 20 yuan."

"That's right, and this doesn't even include the money for fertilizers." Liu Dayou said.

"As the old saying goes, whether there is a harvest depends on water, and how much you can harvest depends on fertilizer..., eh? Hahaha, you are thinking about the manure from our farm, this is easy to do, and it saves money than chemical fertilizers."

"Hahaha, to be honest, Brother Liu, I do have this idea. It seems that Brother Liu also has a certain understanding of agricultural production?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

Just now, Liu Dayou spoke very well. Not to mention him, even Han Xiuying looked at him with admiration.

"Hey..., everyone's family has come from hard times. My parents are also farming now." Liu Dayou sighed.

"Calculate the cost and see if you can run this business. The manure can be calculated later, but you still have to find people to farm here, right?"

"Even if you don't pay the wages, you have to provide food for people from the village to help. For one acre of land, including the planting and harvesting in the production area, you have to increase the cost by at least ten yuan, right?"

Chen Tiezhu nodded, the account was not bad.

"Let's say we have a good harvest, one mu of land can produce more than 700 kilograms of corn. Do you still have to pay public grain here? Even if you contract land in the forest farm, you still have to follow their three-lift and five-unification system, right?"

"I don't know what the situation is here, but my family's share is about half. Even if we calculate the minimum, after these deductions, you still have 400 kilograms of corn."

"One kilogram is 1.8 cents, which is 72 yuan. We haven't deducted water and impurities yet, so let's calculate the good"Brother, listen to my advice. I can see that you are a capable person. Let's not suffer and earn this hard-earned money." "Listen to me. No matter whether you raise more pigs or chickens, as long as you can raise them, it will definitely make more money than farming. People live a good life, don't they have to eat meat?" "Brother will definitely give you a good price. I will help you contact anything you need. Although it is a bit dirty to take care of it, you don't have to worry about anything else. In a drought year, it is difficult for you to get back the cost of farming. "

These words are very real, and can even be said to be spoken from the heart.

After all, agricultural production is really risky. Although there are risks in breeding, they can be controlled more or less through artificial means.

Liu Dayou said so much today, not to please Han Xiuying, but to some extent he regarded Chen Tiezhu as a true friend.

Or to put it more precisely, he is very optimistic about Chen Tiezhu, even though he is just a family member.

"Brother Liu, your words make me feel warm." Chen Tiezhu patted his shoulder.

"But if I can really contract the land, I don't plan to grow these grains, but oil crops and melons."

"What I mean is that I plan to grow economic fields. When the time comes, I will cooperate with my mushroom planting. I plan to try this aspect and take a different path."

"And you will see it at lunch. I also have Professor Xu from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences here. He can back me up in terms of technology. "

Liu Dayou looked at him in surprise, "Brother, this thing can make more profit, but the investment is more. Are you going to play a big ticket?"

Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded, "Anyway, you have to worry about it, so let's do it on a big scale. I plan to do it according to ten acres of land. If I succeed once, I will have a bottom line, and I can slow down when doing other things in the future."

Hearing his words, Liu Dayou had to think seriously.

It turns out that Brother Tiezhu is not just doing it for a small fight. This matter may be supported by Mayor Han's family later?

If this guy succeeds, I'm afraid it will be really amazing.

"Brother Liu, are you interested in coming to help me next year? The work in the breeding farm looks good, but it's just that. "Chen Tiezhu suddenly said another sentence.

"Ahem........."

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Dayou, who was trying to settle the score for him in his heart, choked.

Just now I thought this new little brother was capable, why is he talking nonsense now?
