1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Arriving at the county bureau, he first went to Jiang Chaoyang to get a photo.

However, the work was quite busy now, and Jiang Chaoyang was out on a mission, so he came to Director Hu's office.

"You are quite capable, pour yourself some water." Director Hu glanced at him and said.

"Leader, you have seen an opportunity, and you have a little money in your hand." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"In terms of mushroom cultivation, we have achieved initial success, and the mycelium has germinated very well. In a few days, we will be able to grow mushrooms properly, and we can sell them in less than two months."

"I'm not talking about this, but about your plan to contract land at the forest farm." Director Hu frowned and said.

"This matter has caused a great response in the county. Although your town has chosen to agree, the county's opinion is still unanimous."

"Tell me in detail what happened. What did you think of contracting such a large area of ​​land?"

"Director Hu, did it cause such a great response in the county?" Chen Tiezhu asked in surprise.

"What do you think? This is land. Even if you contract it in the name of your company, it is of great significance." Director Hu said.

"If your contract is approved, it is equivalent to opening a gap. If others also give the same conditions, they can also contract it."

"Such a situation has never happened in the county. Not only do you want to do it, but you also have to deal with such a large area at once. So the discussion at the meeting was very intense, and there is no conclusion for the time being."

Chen Tiezhu scratched his head. This was also a situation he had not expected.

Because he thought that the attitude would be the same as that of the town. Although it would remain cautious, it would develop in a good direction.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all.

After rising to the level of the county, the problem has become complicated all of a sudden.

Things that are very common in later generations are like breaking the ice in this era.

"Leader, actually when I had this plan, I didn't think much about it." Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

"I thought farming is not easy, so I decided to find a new direction. This new direction is economic farming."

"The reason why I chose such a large area of ​​land is also based on the trial and error rate. My family has so little land in the village, and Doudou and I are so small that we can't do anything."

"Part of the land contracted in the forest farm is used to grow fields, and the other part is used to grow watermelons, melons, potatoes, autumn vegetables and greenhouses."

"I plan to cultivate carefully, so I want to contract for more years. Because if we want to grow melons, we must take turns "After planting the same piece of land, you have to wait at least six years before planting again, so that there will be no recurrence. The scale of the land I contracted looks large, but after six years of rotating watermelons and cantaloupes in the tree-lined land, it is not large anymore." "This aspect may not be reflected in the application materials to the town. And farming involves the issue of land maintenance." "I can't work hard to make the land fertile, and then hand it over. Then it's not as simple as playing for nothing, I will definitely lose money." After saying that, he looked at Director Hu eagerly. "If we only plant large fields, wouldn't the current per-acre yield have increased?" Director Hu thought for a while and asked. "It is indeed improved, but the increase is not that big." Chen Tiezhu said. "Moreover, the current planting costs and agricultural burdens are also relatively high. Take our village for example. The village does not keep much, but even if all is counted, it will account for about 40% of the annual output."

"Some villages keep more, basically reaching 50%. Some families in our village still light kerosene lamps at night. The electricity bill does not seem expensive, but they are reluctant to turn on the lights."

"And the current output has increased, and it has also changed from the original self-retained seeds to the current purchased seeds. The output has increased, but buying seeds also costs money."

"So this increase , it is not as good as imagined. I contracted so much land to reduce risks. "

"Although the investment is relatively large, farming is dependent on the weather. You don't know what kind of year it will be next year, and what crops will have a good yield."

"I just make a lot of money with a small amount of money. Even if some of them may not make much money, other crops may make some money. Such a large area of ​​land still needs to hire people to help take care of it. Whether it is wages or meals, it is also a big expense. "

"In fact, to put it in a broader sense, well..., a brighter way of saying it is throughMy operations can help us find new planting methods that are suitable for ordinary people. "

"If everyone follows suit and plants cash crops, can grain production be guaranteed to proceed in an orderly manner?" Director Hu asked.

This was also a hot topic discussed at the meeting, and it even caused a lot of debate.

"Leader, how can I put it? In fact, this matter is a bit big, and it should not be considered by ordinary people like me." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"We can't put all the problems on our farmers, right? We are all reforming and opening up, and we are all working hard for a better life. We should also have a chance to choose, right?"

"It's okay, we all plant large fields. Can we guarantee the low-priced supply of grain seeds? Can we guarantee the affordable and sufficient supply of fertilizers?"

"Let's talk about our village. After working hard for a whole year, how much money can we make from the land? Zhang Yuanmin in our village has three boys and a girl at home, and they live a tight life."

"The youngest son is about to take the high school entrance examination, and he is a good student. But because the family was poor, they almost went to a technical secondary school. But the child had great ambitions in his heart, and wanted to go to college and contribute to the country in the future. "

"After working hard for so many years, the farmers have made a lot of contributions. Let me say something unpleasant, our county is an agricultural county, if we don't make appropriate adjustments, it will be like this in many years."

"I'm not saying that I'm accusing the leaders of being conservative, this is a proper consideration. But while we choose to be conservative, we must also work hard to open up new routes, right?"

"We went to the county machinery factory to order equipment, and Director Cui almost lost money to do it for us. It's because the factory's business is not doing well. If there is no work to do, people's hearts will be scattered and can't be gathered together."

Director Hu picked up the teacup and took a big sip, quietly chewing the tea leaves that ran into his mouth with the tea.

"You kid, I asked you to come to discuss the problem, but I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson. "After a long time, Director Hu spoke.

Chen Tiezhu grinned, "Leader, how dare I? This is just some actual situation."

"Then write down what you said, and I will bring it to the meeting." Director Hu said.

"Thank you, leader, I will write it down now."

Chen Tiezhu was so happy that his face was full of smiles.

Director Hu's words meant that he would give support at the meeting. His vote was very important.
