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

Chapter 290 If the shop is closed, won’t the vegetables in the base be grown in vain?

After hearing what Zhou Rong said, Zhou Chuanyi said with emotion: "If you were a man and spent a few years in the officialdom, your achievements would not be lower than your uncle Chuanyu."

Zhou Rong: "My methods are all unconventional and cannot be compared with the achievements Uncle Chuan Yu has made through his experience on the battlefield."

Zhou Chuanyi: "Unconventional methods are sometimes more effective than formal methods. Let's get back to the point. If public canteens are opened in the city, should those shops be closed or what should be done?"

Zhou Rong: "After the policy is released, we will close it for a while. According to my gossip, all small shops and stalls that are not controlled or jointly operated by the government will be incorporated into the logistics department of the public canteen.

We don't have any powerful connections in the provincial capital, and the leader who helped us apply for the shop before is not always available to help us. Moreover, since it involves organizational policies, he may not be able to intervene.

If the shop continues to operate, the food will most likely be provided to the canteen for free, and the villagers will definitely not be happy about that.”

Zhou Chuanjing said: "If we close the shop, won't the vegetables grown in the base be wasted? The villagers will be even less happy."

Zhou Rong: "As for the extravagant eating and drinking practices in the public canteen, do you think it will last long? At most by the end of the year, it will return to normal, and then we can reopen our shop.

During this period, the two uncles can go to Uncle Chuanyu and ask him to ask the county to issue a document to supply the vegetables from the base to the major canteens.

It is said that Uncle Yu has many connections in the commune and the county, so no one dared to deny his debt.

Many units have the habit of defaulting on payments, so we must agree on the settlement cycle. It is best to settle on a daily basis, and at worst it should not exceed one month.

During negotiations, you must cry poor more often and list the villagers who need money for medical treatment, building houses, marrying wives, etc. Taking advantage of the people is not a good style in a communist society. "

Zhou Chuanyi wrote down Zhou Rong's words in his notebook and praised him, "Your speech is very good. Let's do it this way."

Zhou Rong asked Zhou Chuanyi: "Uncle, I heard that our production team is going to set up a 10,000-head pig farm and a 10,000-chicken farm?"

Zhou Chuanyi: "That's right. The county saw that our base was very well run last year and wanted to set a benchmark and launch a big satellite. Seeing that we have experience, they want to pilot it here. We are currently looking for piglets and chickens, and we will transport them here after they are confirmed."

Zhou Rong: "Uncle, if we raise too many livestock, they are prone to plague. With our current prevention and control capabilities, the capacity of the base for more than 200 pigs and more than 1000 chickens is just right. If there are more, it will be difficult to manage.

Once the plague occurs, all the pigs and chickens will be gone.

The piglets and chickens that the county brought in definitely cost money, and those costs must have been paid by the village. If tens of thousands of pigs and chickens were gone, the people of Zhoujiawan probably wouldn’t be able to pay off the debts even if they worked their entire lives.”

Zhou Chuanyi seemed to be thinking about something. "What you said makes sense. The money for buying piglets and chickens should indeed be paid by the village. If something goes wrong during the process, I will definitely lose everything. But I can't disobey the county's order!"

Zhou Rong: "Uncle, how about this? You can report to your superiors and say that you have figured out a truth from running the public canteen, that whether it is a socialist society or a communist society, there should be common prosperity.

The demonstration base in Zhoujiawan has helped many villagers escape poverty, but in other production teams, many families are still worried about not having money to build houses and marry wives.

As the team leader, you couldn't bear it, so you applied to the organization to distribute the quotas of the 10,000-head pig farm and the 10,000-chicken farm to several other production teams in Shengli Brigade in order to achieve common prosperity.

This way we can share the risk, and our entire brigade will be included in the category of demonstration villages. If something happens in one of the villages, the other villages will not sit idly by. We can then unite the Victory Brigade into one.

If this is accomplished, as the captain, your achievements will be unimaginable. By then, the entire county and even the whole country will know your name!"

Zhou Chuanyi's blood boiled after hearing this, he waved his hands and pretended not to care, saying: "I don't care about those false reputations, my greatest wish is to let the villagers live a good life.

Our Zhoujiawan demonstration base had a good harvest last year, which made many people jealous. We were worried that someone was doing something bad, so the militia patrolled in three shifts every day.

If our entire brigade was included in the demonstration village and everyone had extra income, they would no longer miss Zhoujiawan.

If something happens, just shout and everyone will come to help, and no one will dare to bully us!"

Zhou Rong: "I think so too, which is why I suggest you give up the quotas for the pig farm and chicken farm."

Zhou Chuanyi: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely get it done!"

Zhou Rong: "The newspaper said that we have to complete the task of producing 1070 million tons of steel this year. As far as I know, we have not even reached half of it. All units in the city are working hard on this, but there are only so many people. Even if everyone works together and works 24 hours a day without rest, we still cannot complete the task set by the central government.

I heard from an expert that the organization will most likely mobilize people across the country to make steel together, and even our rural areas will have to participate.

If this really happens, the strong laborers in the village will certainly be withdrawn, and there will be no one to work in the fields and the base. The food and vegetables may rot in the fields. Uncle must think of a countermeasure as soon as possible, so as not to be at a loss at the last minute. "

Zhou Chuanyi asked in confusion: "How can we farmers make steel? Are we forced to go there just to make up the numbers? Is that expert reliable?"

Zhou Rong: "He has connections in Kyoto. He dares to say that. He must have some chance. We must take precautions in advance."

Zhou Chuanyi: "What suggestions do you have?"

Zhou Rong pretended to be in deep thought, and after a moment, he said: "If the organization really gives the order, the two uncles should go to Uncle Chuanyu and suggest that we build a unified steelmaking furnace over there in the commune.

When reporters come to take pictures or superiors come to inspect and see hundreds of steel furnaces smoking side by side, the scene must be so spectacular, more exciting than launching a satellite, and it will definitely make the headlines of newspapers!

After the steel furnace was built, twenty or thirty able-bodied men were selected from each production team to help with steelmaking, while the others continued to work in the fields.

In this way, I can become famous and complete the tasks assigned by the organization without delaying the work in the fields.

In case the higher-ups do not agree to this approach and insist that each production team build its own steelmaking furnace, I suggest that we divide the work and cooperate with each other, with some people making steel and some people taking care of farm work in the fields.

Steel cannot be eaten, but food can be. It is the foundation of our survival. I hope you two uncles will put food first. "

Zhou Chuanjing said: "You don't need to tell us this. We all know that we will never let the grain rot in the fields without anyone taking care of it."

Zhou Chuanyi: "I think your first method sounds more reliable. We should try to persuade the commune to make unified arrangements for steelmaking."

Zhou Rong: "Okay."
