Chapter 323 Hope
The man was in his 40s and seemed to be a resident of the area, so he was very familiar with the situation. He said, "The village committee entrusted him to farm this land."
“Are there also poor households in Jiangsu Province?”
"As you said, where are there no miserable people?"
The middle-aged man looked at the old man with a little pity.
"His two children have left one after another, and one of his wives has been paralyzed in bed for almost ten years. When my wife was in good health, I could still work on the farmland allocated by the village. Later, when my wife became paralyzed, the land was transferred to others for cultivation. , which is a little bit of income.”
"In recent years, there have been fewer people farming, and no one has farmed the area he allocated. There is no source of income at all. But this year, a college student village official came to the village. After understanding the situation, he came up with a special solution for him. "
The man pointed at Gou Mang behind him and said, "This is it. With this, even a fool can grow some food, but now it's only convenient to grow rice."
Bai Xi looked at the old man whose mental state was somewhat unstable and was quite surprised.
"Farmland cannot be bought or sold, but the right to use it can be transferred, but there must be someone willing to farm it. The village committee came forward to contract his land and collected a few acres of scattered land. However, it did not directly give the old man money, but used the money We came to put it into production and called the Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd., starting from cultivating the land, and took care of everything."
Bai Xi is no longer an agricultural novice. He frowned and said, "In terms of cost, it probably won't cover the cost."
The transfer of farming rights is not expensive at the market price, only a few hundred yuan per acre, but the production investment is more than that.
"The village chief made some arrangements. In short, farming, harvesting, and management of pesticides and fertilizers are all handled by agricultural machinery and equipment. The village will then 'hire' an old man as a grower. He will just pick up stones and chase away birds. When the harvest comes, they will be sold together. If you lose it, the village will cover the cost, and the rest will be given to the old man."
Bai Xi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but admire this set of operations.
"I don't know exactly what happened in the books, but this way the old man's family can at least get some income, so it won't get worse. It's like this college student is so good, he made something out of nothing!"
"It's only because of Gou Mang that we can do this. Otherwise, even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't have the time. Farming is a technical job and very tiring."
At this time, a young man came over from the other end of the path. He seemed very familiar with the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Master Liu, are you saying bad things about me again?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "I praise you to outsiders! I say that you top students are amazing!"
The young man's smile was very childish. Bai Xi didn't look much older than himself. It was very likely that he had just graduated and came here.
"I'm from a third-rate university, so I'm not a top student."
"A third-rate university is also a university. Unlike me, I didn't even graduate from high school."
.......
Bai Xi shook hands with the college student village official. The college student village official was a little stunned, not knowing what this fairy in front of him, who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a human woman, was going to do.
"I just heard about the job you arranged for this old man. I admire you..."
The college student village official said shyly: "It's nothing, it all depends on the support of the villagers."
Bai Xi asked, "How much net profit can one acre of land earn if we operate like this?"
The university student village official said, "In previous years, it was around 500-600 yuan, but after using Gou Mang, we've saved a lot on pesticides and fertilizers, and we've completely eliminated the labor. Anyway, the people at the agricultural machinery cooperative say that the net profit from growing grain on one acre of land can exceed 800 yuan."
The middle-aged man flicked a cigarette butt onto the ridge of the field and said, "Things have changed again. This Goumang contains the most professional planting methods developed by our scientists. Every time we work, we can check what's missing from the land, and the yield can be increased. 1000 yuan per mu is no problem!"
The village official, a college student, did the math. He stepped in to coordinate and scraped together some scraps for the old man. The total acres were 15 acres, and they could be planted twice a year. The minimum guarantee was yuan. The old man and the aunt had enough money to survive. .
It’s also a credit to the middle-aged man from the Agricultural Machinery Cooperative that he came from this village. Otherwise, with this small amount of acres, people would not be willing to come at all.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.
Now, this special-level poor household is finally revitalized.
He did not add burdens to the country, did not ask for money or support, and did not kidnap other villagers morally. He only relied on the internal operation of his own village to give hope to a miserable family who could not live any longer.
He felt very proud in his heart.
Many of his classmates who worked hard in the city did not understand him and thought he was crazy for wanting to be an official.
What kind of official is a village cadre? He doesn't earn as much as delivering food.
But after making achievements, this sense of accomplishment that had nothing to do with money was something he had never experienced in the previous twenty years.
Bai Xi praised him sincerely again, "You are really amazing. This method is very innovative and may be used as a case study."
The middle-aged man said firmly: "Did you see that I told you that you are a top student?"
The college-graduate village official touched the back of his head and said, "This is only the first year. If it works, we can indeed talk to other villages. There are more poor households in my hometown, but there is no Gou Mang there..."
Bai Xi smiled and said, "There will be. The national subsidies have already come down, and Bai Ze Tong Ming is also working hard to reduce costs. There will be more and more Gou Mangs in the future."
The college student village official asked curiously, "Are you familiar with 'Gou Mang'?"
"I am also a technical person, and I have briefly studied it for a while."
Gou Mang worked very quickly and finished the job in just a few minutes. The middle-aged man drove away in the Gou Mang, and the college student village official went to do other things.
Bai Xi returned to the car and turned around to see the old man in tattered clothes still sitting at the edge of the field, looking happily at the green rice fields.
He was holding a cigarette butt in his dirty hands, as if he was worried about damaging the land of his house.
Eyes full of anticipation...
Bai Xi stared for a moment, took out his cell phone, and found a person in the address book, the leader of the joint research team, "Yu Yang".
I typed a few lines.
"Team leader Yu, thank you very much."
“I recently discovered something interesting…”
"A college-educated village official from Panjia Village used a unique method to solve the livelihood problem for an extremely poor household..."
She rarely writes such long text messages, this is almost a "long letter".
The elders once wrote letters for him, and he also wrote letters for the college student village officials.
Throwing the phone aside, Bai Xi asked Xiao Rui to turn around and said to the old man as they passed by: "Uncle! Let's go!"
The uncle laughed, waved his hand, and continued to look expectantly at the green rice fields.
------
There was a delay along the way and Bai Xi arrived later than expected.
Halfway through, Team Leader Yu had already replied to him, saying that this case was of great research significance and that he would send someone to investigate the situation.
I haven’t actually seen it yet, so I won’t say anything about actively promoting it, but at least this method has strong practical significance.
As the car drove into Shanghai, what I saw was once again obscured by the bustling city.
