Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 342 What? Zhoujiawan needs 2 new trucks?

What? Zhoujiawan is going to have two new trucks?!

When everyone heard the news, they were in disbelief and thought that the people from Zhoujiawan were bragging. Just as they were about to make some jokes, the sound of the truck horn became louder and louder.

Two army green trucks, like steel giants, approached from afar. When the trucks stopped in front of them, everyone had to believe that there were really trucks in Zhoujiawan!

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen a new truck! Zhoujiawan is amazing. They got two new trucks without making any noise. It must have cost a lot of money, right?!"

"I heard that a truck costs more than 10,000 yuan. Where did Zhoujiawan get the money to buy two new trucks at once?"

"Zhoujiawan's vegetable base and breeding farm were established early, and they also opened their own vegetable stores in the county and the provincial capital. I heard that the business is good, so buying a car should not be a problem."

"That's not right. All the money Zhoujiawan earned before was distributed. There can't be tens of thousands of yuan in the public account. I think there must be something fishy going on."

A villager from Zhoujiawan listened to everyone's discussion and said, "Our team leader said that the two trucks were exchanged with the car factory using vegetables, pork and eggs from the base. We will supply them with goods for a year, which is almost the same as if we bought them with our own money!"

After hearing this, the captains of several other production teams immediately found Zhou Chuanjing and asked if they could contact the automobile factory. They also wanted to use the chickens and pork from the farm to exchange for one or two trucks.

Zhou Chuanjing: "The trucks from the car factory are not worthless like the vegetables from our fields. It was pure luck that our production team was able to exchange for two trucks."

A team leader said: "We won't force this matter. Please keep an eye out for us. If the car factory still wants to replace it, we will definitely get some benefits if it is done."

Zhou Chuanjing: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Many villagers were very curious about the truck and carefully touched the outside of the truck to calm their excitement.

Even Zhou Chuanyi was constantly touching the car...

Zhou Jiaxing opened the car door, jumped out of the driver's seat, and asked with a smile: "Dad, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Zhou Chuanyi patted Zhou Jiaxing on the shoulder and said with tears in his eyes: "No, you are great, Dad is proud of you!"

Zhou Jiaxing said with a smile: "Dad, why don't you go up and sit for a while? I'll take you back to the village."

Zhou Chuanyi: "......Also OK."

At Zhou Chuanyi's invitation, Zhou Chuanjing sat in the passenger seat of another truck.

Some of the brave ones climbed onto the truck bed to experience what it felt like to sit in a new truck.

Seeing that the people who had climbed up were not driven down, more people climbed up soon, and the cargo beds of the two trucks were filled in no time.

Seeing that some people were still trying to climb up, Zhou Chuanyi stopped them and said that the truck had already returned to the village and there would be plenty of opportunities to take a bus in the future. If too many people squeezed in and the bus was damaged, there would be no cars in the village.

Everyone felt sorry for the car and immediately stood by the roadside.

Two new trucks from Zhoujiawan drove into the village amidst the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers, and parked in the open space in front of the ancestral hall so that the ancestors of Zhoujiawan could also see the new members of the village.

Zhou Chuanjing brought all the men to burn incense to the ancestors, saying that the village had suffered natural disasters in recent years and had a hard time, but everyone did not give up. Now with the help of Zhou Rong, there are two more trucks, which gives everyone hope. Zhoujiawan will definitely get better and better...

Hong'an Commune currently has no trucks or even tractors. People usually travel on foot or by donkey or mule carts.

Zhou Chuanyu was also very excited when he learned that Zhoujiawan had obtained two trucks. If he had not been attending a meeting in the county and could not make it back, he would have come to participate in the welcoming ceremony.

Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing had already discussed with Zhou Chuanyu that all transportation tasks of Hong'an Commune would be handed over to Zhoujiawan in the future. The freight would be charged according to the distance of the journey, starting from a minimum of 1 yuan.

Zhou Chuanyu also took advantage of the time he went to the county for a meeting to help Zhoujiawan attract business.

When he returned to the village on Tuesday, he had already received several transport orders for Zhoujiawan, mainly transporting goods from several processing plants in the county to the provincial capital. The round-trip fare was 50 yuan, and Zhoujiawan's profit was about 20 yuan.

If we transport goods twice a month, the amount will add up over the years.

There are not many trucks and tractors in the county, and they all have their own transportation tasks, so they cannot go to the countryside to collect vegetables.

Previously, the vegetables and meat in the Zhoujiawan base were transported by donkey carts and mule carts arranged by the county, or delivered to designated locations by villagers using carts.

Every time cargo is transported, both people and livestock are exhausted to death.

Although the county required production teams to give full work points to delivery people, many people were unwilling to do this job because it was too tiring.

Now that we have trucks, we don't have to go out and deliver the goods...

Zhoujiawan needs to report its plan to supply the automobile factory to the county, otherwise it will be held responsible by people with ulterior motives and everyone will be implicated.

Zhou Chuanyu reported this matter while attending a meeting in the county.

The county was very surprised to learn that Zhoujiawan had obtained two trucks. They wanted to requisition them, but Zhou Chuanyu said it was a special favor from the province. It was difficult to explain why the trucks were taken away just after they were acquired.

The county leaders went to Zhou Chuanyu to ask which leader was protecting Zhoujiawan. Zhou Chuanyu smiled and did not answer, so the other party could only guess for himself.

Fearing that they might offend some important figures and affect their careers, the county leaders had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​requisitioning the trucks and hoped that Zhoujiawan could use the trucks to contribute more to the county.

Zhou Chuanyu said that the output of the base will be delivered by trucks in the future, and the county only needs to give some freight subsidies.

The leader told Zhou Chuanyu with an embarrassed look on his face that the county's finances were tight and there was no money for subsidies. The most they could do was to give Zhoujiawan some diesel tickets and reimburse the fuel costs, and then issue some grain and oil tickets, cloth tickets, and non-staple food tickets. They would calculate the money when the financial situation improved.

After Zhou Chuanyu conveyed the county's proposal, Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing said that this was already very good.

The county reimburses their fuel expenses, so their cars are essentially free of cost. As long as they make a few more trips, they can make a lot of money in a year!

After the truck was put into use, it delivered goods to four vegetable stores in the county and the provincial capital every other day.

Every time they went to the provincial capital, everyone would bring some vegetables and meat to Zhou Rong's family.

Zhou Chuanyi once asked Zhou Rong to go to two vegetable stores in the provincial capital to get vegetables every day, saying that she had made such contributions to the village and the village should bear the cost of her family's vegetables and meat.

Zhou Rong didn't want to take advantage of this kind of thing, so he never went.

Now that we have trucks, traveling is much more convenient. The vegetables and meat can be delivered directly to Zhou Rong's home, and she has no choice but to refuse.

The neighbors in Chang'an were extremely envious every time they saw someone bringing food to Zhou Rong's family. This year, disasters continued to hit various places, and coupled with the need to repay debts, non-staple food was even more scarce than last year, and even having money might not be enough to buy meat and vegetables.

Other relatives who came from the countryside were all asking for help, but Zhou Rong's relatives came to give food. There is really no harm without comparison...
