The next morning, before dawn, Ma Defu got up and looked around with a flashlight.
Today is the foundation laying ceremony of Jintan Village. Leaders from the county, city, and province are all coming. Although the preparations have been done, Ma Defu is still a little worried without checking it a few times.
Also following him for inspection was Zhang Shucheng, director of the Poverty Alleviation Office. At noon yesterday, Zhang Shucheng arrived with the immigrants from Yongquan Village.
The two checked around and finally came to the makeshift rostrum.
Like Ma Defu, Zhang Shucheng was also a big girl getting into the sedan chair. It was the first time for him to do this kind of reception work. The pressure on him was much greater than that on Ma Defu. After all, he was leading the charge on the front line, and Ma Defu was just one of his soldiers.
If something really went wrong, the first person the superiors would look for would not be Ma Defu, but him.
Zhang Shucheng stood in front of the rostrum. Looking left and right, he always felt that the banner on the stage was a bit incorrect, so he turned to ask Ma Defu next to him.
"Defu, do you think this banner is a little crooked?"
"It seems a little bit."
Ma Defu stared for a long time and came to his own conclusion.
"Director, go get the ladder right now."
"Well, let's go quickly. We have to speed up. In another hour, County Magistrate Yang will be here. We don't have much time left."
"Okay."
Immediately, Ma Defu ran back home quickly. After taking the ladder, he called Debao up and asked Debao to give him a hand.
An hour later, County Magistrate Yang's car arrived at Jintan Village first. At this time, it was already broad daylight. When she saw the farmland not far away, she was shocked.
'this……'
This is the first time County Magistrate Yang has come to Jintan Village. She has only seen the data of Jintan Village in reports before, but what is on paper is not as shocking as seeing it with her own eyes.
The dark farmland, the residential houses rising from the ground, and the rows of cellars, although the land still looks a bit empty, but with these, there is hope.
As soon as the county magistrate's special car arrived, Zhang Shucheng recognized it and immediately took Ma Defu to greet it.
"County Magistrate Yang, welcome, welcome."
County Magistrate Yang waved his hand, signaling the two of them not to be so polite.
"Shucheng, you have done a good job. Look, the development here is very good. In the future, we will strive to develop every resettlement site into something like Jintan Village."
Logically speaking, Zhang Shucheng should agree with the leader's words, but he knows very well that the reason why Jintan Village can develop so fast is due to one person who has made the greatest contribution, and that is Ma Defu's father, Ma Huashui.
However, not every village is filled with people like Ma Huashui.
If he really agreed, he would definitely not be able to complete the task by then.
Zhang Shucheng hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "County Magistrate, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."
"Um?"
County Magistrate Yang let out a sigh and looked at Zhang Shucheng with doubtful eyes, clearly asking the other party to give her an explanation.
Analyzing from her perspective, with such a "successful" precedent as Jintan Village, other resettlement sites in the future will only need to follow suit. Even if they don't learn 100%, there is no problem if they learn 60% or 70%, right? ?
Is this kind of job difficult?
She was puzzled.
"County Magistrate, uh... I think Jintan Village is just an exception."
As he spoke, Zhang Shucheng unconsciously turned his attention to the tractor more than a hundred meters away.
County Magistrate Yang followed his gaze and saw the brand-new tractor, and he suddenly realized.
It is true that not every village can afford tractors, but this is not a big problem. In fact, when she saw Zhang Shucheng's report, she had the idea of mechanization transformation in her mind.
Of course, due to financial reasons, it is impossible for every resettlement site to provide a tractor like Jintan Village, but there are more ways than difficulties. One village is too luxurious. If four villages are provided with one, It can still be squeezed out if the finances are squeezed.
If this doesn't work, then use 'renting', with the government funding the purchase of machinery and equipment, and then renting it to the villagers at low prices.
"Mo, let's find a way to deal with the machinery. Although I can't guarantee that there will be one in each village, there will definitely be tractors. The specific plan will be discussed with the county and I will inform you."
Hearing the county magistrate's assurance, Zhang Shucheng was immediately overjoyed. If there was such a policy, future publicity work would be much easier.
"Great, thank you County Magistrate!"
In excitement, Zhang Shucheng saluted County Magistrate Yang directly.
County Magistrate Yang smiled slightly and pointed to the farmland in the distance.
"Let's go and take a walk around."
Afterwards, Zhang Shucheng took County Magistrate Yang around, introducing the latest progress of various tasks to him as he walked.
"County Magistrate, this is land that has just been leveled by the villagers. It totals more than 1,200 acres. On average, each household has about 20 acres. The specific planning amount has been reported to you before. According to the villagers' plan, three points One part is used to grow potatoes, which are eaten by the villagers themselves, and one third is used to grow corn, which is mainly used for selling.
"The remaining one-third is used to grow caragana. There are two purposes of growing caragana. One is to prevent wind and fix sand, and the other is to use it as feed for livestock, that is, Tan sheep."
"Well, yes, yes." County Magistrate Yang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "By the way, you mentioned to me before that these ideas were all proposed by a villager named Ma Huashui? What about others? ?”
Zhang Shucheng hesitated for a moment and said: "County Magistrate, he is not in the village now."
"Not there?"
"Yes, a new group of villagers arrived yesterday, and Party Secretary Ma's relatives also came. Early this morning, he took his relatives to the district to buy things."
Having said this, Zhang Shucheng paused slightly, then glanced at Ma Defu beside him.
"County magistrate, Defu is Ma Huanshui's son. If you want to know anything, you can ask him the same thing."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Yang glanced at Ma Defu, who was following him all the way, and smiled and nodded at him.
"Little comrade, how did your dad come up with the idea of raising sheep?"
When the county magistrate looked at him like this, Ma Defu straightened his back subconsciously.
"Emen's dad said that our Chinese people have been food-oriented since ancient times. Each place has its own food style. In our Ning Province, the most delicious food is Tanyang. Anyone who has been to our place has eaten it. There is no one who doesn’t praise him.”
"In addition, Dad also said that the lives of our people will get better and better. With money in their pockets, there will be more choices on the table. Foods that they did not dare to eat before or could not bear to eat will gradually go to thousands of households. Just like Tan Yang, we used to only eat it during festivals, but from now on, ordinary people can afford it even in normal times!"
