Ten days later, Yanchang County's work-for-work project to build water conservancy was completed, with a total of 100,000 catties of grain, excluding those that were eaten, and all the rest went to the people.

Just when the people went home with the grain given by the government, ready to rest for a while, and when the spring ploughing arrived, the broken bell at the entrance of Zhonggu Village suddenly rang.

In less than half an hour, dozens of strong laborers dragged their families to the entrance of the village.

The elderly, weak, women and children stood at the back, and the heads of households were concentrated at the front.

"Old village chief, what's the matter! Call us early in the morning! A middle-aged man said with dissatisfaction.

"Good thing!" The village chief replied very simply, and then introduced to dozens of people: "Standing next to me is a cadre sent by the county government, and you can call him Secretary Wang." Entrusted by the county government, Mr. Wang has brought you two pieces of good news, and now I will let Mr. Wang tell you in person. ”

Hearing the words of good news, everyone stared at a pair of eyes, staring at Secretary Wang with a bright eye!

"Fellows, I'll make a long story short here, you all know the chicken manure you usually use to grow vegetables!" Director Wang didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

Seeing that many people nodded, Director Wang continued: "Adding chicken manure to the vegetable field can increase the fertility of the land, so that the vegetables we plant in the vegetable field can grow better. After many efforts, the county government has found a way to use livestock and human manure, plus plants and crop straw together to make fertilizer, and intends to promote it throughout the county, so that our land where we grow food can also use this fertilizer to increase grain production! ”

"This method of making farmhouse manure is very simple, every household can do it, and after the meeting is over, I will go to each of your households to give guidance!"

A middle-aged man who had been serving the crops for half his life immediately stood up, stared at Secretary Wang and asked, "Those leaves and crop straws can really be fertilized...... Our land here is just too barren and has no fertility, and if we can use fertilizer like chicken manure in the fields, the grain production will definitely increase! ”

"Absolutely! The county government will not deceive everyone with such a big matter. And the manure only needs some effort from the villagers, even if it really fails, it does not suffer. However, if it succeeds, every family will be able to increase their income by hundreds of catties of grain in the autumn harvest this year! ”

"Officer Wang is right, the county government will not lie to us!" The village chief said in a timely manner.

"Since the county magistrate Ouyang came, we have been thinking about the construction of water conservancy that has not been done for several years, and we have done it directly under her guidance. This method of making fertilizer is also the county magistrate Ouyang found a way to get it back, he is a college student, he has stayed in school, he is educated, he will definitely not deceive us dealers! ”

"Okay, we'll listen to the county government, and we'll prepare to ......make manure when we get back," dozens of heads of households shouted after a brief discussion.

At this time, Officer Wang spoke again.

"The county government has one more decision to announce to you!"

"The government of the border region and a businessman are about to set up a public-private joint venture company to buy a large number of cattle and lambs from other places and lease them to everyone."

"The specific leasing method is: lease the ploughing cattle to plough one acre, and give the company twenty catties of grain rent after the autumn harvest!"

"Twenty pounds of grain...... So much...... We can plough the land with our own manpower, there is no need to use ploughing oxen! Before Director Wang finished speaking, a person shouted with a dissatisfied face.

Several people next to him chimed in: "Twenty catties of grain is too much, and we don't have enough food for the autumn harvest, so what is it to rent cattle to plough the land!" ”

"We don't need to plough oxen, what we have is strength, and we can plough the fields ourselves!"

At this moment, everyone's reaction was surprisingly the same, all of them resisting and disagreeing.

"Be quiet, don't speak, I'm not done yet!" Officer Wang shouted at the top of his voice.

"There's nothing to say, we don't have to plow cattle!" A middle-aged man retorted directly, staring at Director Wang, not polite at all.

The village chief could only stand up and shout: "Okay, calm down for me, listen to Secretary Wang's words, when the time comes, if you don't want to, you won't want to, and no one will force you to agree with a gun." And I believe in the government, I believe in the county magistrate Ouyang! ”

The village chief's words were still very effective, and the noisy village entrance was quiet all at once.

Secretary General Wang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Everyone thinks that the rent of renting one mu and twenty catties of grain from ploughing cattle is a lot, but what I want to tell you is that spending the rent of these twenty catties of grain can bring you at least fifty catties of grain income by the time of the autumn harvest!" ”

Uncle Zhou, who has the most experience in farming in the village, stood up and retorted: "Housheng, you are bragging when you say this, using ploughing cattle to plough the fields is because it is deep ploughing, it can indeed increase grain production, but if you want to increase the yield of seventy or eighty catties per acre, it is simply impossible!" ”

Secretary Wang replied with a smile: "Uncle, you are right, it is indeed impossible to increase the income of seventy or eighty catties of grain per acre of land. However, uncle, you have overlooked another thing, using cattle to plough the land saves time and effort, and can save a lot of labor! ”

"Everyone usually relies on manual labor to cultivate the fields, and there are already a lot of five acres of land that a family can serve. But with the help of the ploughing cattle, I can serve eight acres of land, and the output of three acres of land can be increased, and the rent of the rented ploughing cattle will be reduced, and the income of four or five hundred catties of grain will be increased casually a year......

"Uncle, you must have been a dealer for decades, and many things are clearer than me, I don't know if this is what I said!"

Uncle Zhou didn't speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

The others also quieted down at this time, silently calculating the analysis that Director Wang had just made.

After almost five minutes, Uncle Zhou spoke: "But, in the future, we don't have that much land at all!" ”

"In our Zhonggu Village, there are four acres of land for those with few people and six acres of land for those with many people, and this land can be served well by manpower alone, and there is no need to rent cattle!"

Secretary Wang knew that Uncle Zhou was already moved, and immediately replied: "There is indeed no ready-made land, but we can reclaim it ourselves!" ”

"There is still a lot of time before spring ploughing, and the rest of the time can be used to reclaim wasteland, except for manure. What the county government means is that as long as the mountains and forests are not destroyed, regardless of the old, weak, women and children, everyone is allowed to have two acres of land, and each family can reclaim as much as they want! ”

Uncle Zhou's eyes lit up, and his face showed an eager expression, and then he stared at Director Wang and asked.

"Can the county government guarantee that there must be ploughing cattle that can be rented to us during spring ploughing?"

"It can be guaranteed...... Now the company established in the border area has gone to Shanxi to buy cattle and lambs! Officer Wang affirmed, then changed the conversation and continued.

"Besides, even if there is no ploughing cattle to be rented to everyone at that time, everyone will not suffer. After all, as long as the reclaimed land does not exceed the standards set by the government, it belongs to everyone's private property, and no one can touch it! ”

"This posterity said it well, our dealer has nothing else, only one body of strength. Starting tomorrow, I will make fertilizer first, and after I am done, I will take my wife and children to reclaim the wasteland, and strive to reclaim three acres of land before spring ploughing, and then my old Zhou family will have five acres of land! ”

After Uncle Zhou spoke, many people chose to believe it, and shouted to reclaim the wasteland, and when the time comes, they will rent ploughing cattle to plough the fields!

Of course, there are also some people who choose not to take risks and continue to farm in the old way.

It's not easy for Director Wang to force it, after all, everyone has the right to choose. And he also believes that when the autumn harvest is over, seeing other people's income, these people will definitely take the initiative to join in, and no one wants to live a good life.

At this time, Secretary Wang continued: "The next thing is to raise sheep! ”

The company set up by the government of the border region to buy a large number of cattle at the same time, will also buy back a lot of goats, and after the end of spring ploughing, as long as they want, each family can take a male and a female two lambs home to raise, a year later, these lambs will definitely give cubs, then the company will give everyone two choices: after receiving the remuneration of two oceans, all the goats and lambs that have grown up will be returned to the company, or two lambs will be accepted as a reward, and the other goats will be returned to the company! ”

"Of course, after a year, if you still want to continue breeding, you can continue to sign a breeding contract with the company, and the remuneration remains the same!"

"In addition, in the process of breeding, if there is an accident with the goat, everyone must compensate according to the price of a lamb and a piece of ocean!"
