"But if you want to expand the scale, you have to use more chemical fertilizers. If the entire Liujia Village is planted according to my method next summer, it will require at least one hundred tons of chemical fertilizers. Even if the chemical fertilizers are reduced by half, it will still require fifty tons. of chemical fertilizers.”
"Hiss, so many."
Bai Zhanyuan couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.
"Not much. The entire Liujia Village has 2,000 acres of land and 50 tons of land. Calculated, one acre of land is only 50 kilograms."
"That's really not much, but where can I get so much fertilizer for you?"
Bai Zhanyuan understood what Liu Guangqi meant. He just wanted him to help get some fertilizer. Getting some fertilizer was not a problem. One ton or two tons was not a big problem, but now it was a hundred tons.
"Well, let me think of a way to set aside a certain share for you every month, but you can't buy it in the name of an individual, only in the name of a collective. Last year, the country decided that fertilizers should be exclusively sold by supply and marketing cooperatives. Individuals can buy a small share. But if you want to buy in large quantities, you can only do it in the name of the collective, and you can't resell it. Once the resale is discovered, the consequences will be very serious."
Bai Zhanyuan, who is worthy of being the leader in charge of the economy, quickly thought of a solution. Since he couldn't produce so much fertilizer at once, he would give it in batches. Anyway, the fertilizer factory does not only operate for a few months. They are producing all year round. Buying some chemical fertilizers during non-peak farming seasons is naturally less stressful, and chemical fertilizers don’t expire, so it doesn’t matter if you put them away.
"No problem, just fine. Our village has also formed a cooperation team."
"What cooperation team?"
Hearing a new word come out of Liu Guangqi's mouth, Bai Zhanyuan asked, agricultural issues have always been a very important issue, and the agricultural economy still occupies a very important proportion in this era, so Bai Zhanyuan is so concerned.
"It's like this. When I returned from busy farming this time, I discovered many problems in our village. The biggest problem is the uneven distribution of production means and uneven distribution of productivity. The farm tools in our village are so scattered that almost no one owns them. If you want to complete the autumn harvest and autumn planting, you must borrow a full set of farm tools. For example, our family has more than 40 baskets, while others only have one. How can we bring corn home without a basket? Some families have carts that can If you use a cart to pull it, what you don’t have will have to wait until our family uses it up. This is the autumn harvest. Autumn planting will be troublesome. Some people have cattle, and some people have plows..."
"This is the unevenness of the means of production. The uneven productivity actually refers to the young men and the labor force. Take the two families in our village as an example. Both families have ten acres of land. One of them has three sons. In addition, I have four strong men, so the work will naturally be faster. On the other hand, there is only one strong man in the other family, the older one and the younger one. They can take care of ten acres of land by themselves. Thinking about it, it is difficult. Maybe Everyone else has finished planting, and he hasn’t finished harvesting it yet.”
"In order to solve this problem, I proposed the concept of cooperative teams, dividing the entire village into several teams, and each team has a full set of farm tools..."
Household responsibility for production may greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers, but it is not suitable for this era, because the production means and productivity of this era are really too backward and incomparable with those of the 1980s. In this regard, Liu Guangqi can only say that whatever is suitable is good.
"This is a good idea and worth promoting. You can write a report to me later and I will discuss it with others."
Bai Zhanyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a political achievement.
"Okay, Brother Bai, I have one more thing to ask you, and it's also related to the countryside."
At this point, Liu Guangqi felt a little embarrassed. He asked for help when they met, but there was nothing he could do. Among the people he knew, only Bai Zhanyuan could help him with the next task, and even Bai Zhanyuan might not be able to help him. I can only ask others for help.
"You said that as long as it can help the farmer brothers get rid of poverty and become rich, I will do anything."
"I want your help to buy some white pigs from Big Brother Soviet Union"
"Buying a pig?"
After Bai Zhanyuan heard this, he thought he had heard wrongly about buying pigs from the Soviet Union.
"That's right, just buying pigs."
"Guangqi, if you want to eat pork, you can't eat it anywhere. Why do you have to buy pigs from Big Brother? It's so troublesome, hahaha."
On the sidelines, Bai Zhanguang couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Guangqi's request. Bai Zhanyuan also lowered his head and covered his mouth and snickered.
"What? Who said I bought it for food? I bought this pig to raise. Our village is planning to open two farms, one for chickens and one for pigs. It's easy to raise chickens. Our country's Huang Yu Chickens are good, but pigs are not. Our country is full of black pigs. It takes at least nine months to raise a black pig for slaughter. It only weighs about 120 kilograms. And the white pigs introduced by Big Brother from Europe , it only lasts four to five months before it is released, and its weight reaches more than 120 kilograms. Which one do you want to raise?"
"Is it so different?"
"Real or false, where did you get the news?"
When the two brothers Bai Zhanyuan heard the news, they were shocked and their eyes were as wide as cow bells. This gap must be too big.
"The library of Peking University. It's not a secret. Just ask any Soviet person and you'll find out."
This was basically common sense in later generations, but not many people knew about it in this era. In order to get over it, Liu Guangqi simply raised a big flag. It is estimated that these two people will not go to the Peking University Library to check which book Liu Guangqi is reading. At most, they will ask the Soviets to confirm the situation.
"If you follow what you say, then I have to buy this pig. I will report it to my superiors after I go back. The gap is too big."
After a long time, Bai Zhanyuan was still immersed in the huge gap between the two kinds of pigs. He ran back to write a report without even watching a movie at night.
After the higher-level government learned about this situation, they quickly squeezed out a sum of funds to introduce a group of white pigs from Big Brother. Fortunately, all of Big Brother's attention was focused on industrial assistance at this time, and he didn't take it seriously at all. He thought it was just someone in the country who wanted to eat fresh pork, otherwise Big Brother would definitely want to because of his character. Make a stroke.
A birthday banquet was held in a lively manner until six o'clock in the evening. Those who were far away from home had already left, and the remaining people watching the movie were those close to home. Liu Guangqi had to repair his car, so he left before the birthday banquet was over. Pushing the car and leaving Red Star Middle School. Before leaving, I asked the old principal for a day off.
"Hey, isn't this the old General's Mansion? I came here before when I was asking for help. I didn't expect that your boy would actually live here. This is much more grand than our old house."
The next day, Bai Jingye limped on crutches to the courtyard where Liu Guangqi lived, and looked at the magnificent five-entry courtyard in front of him with envy.
"What a grandiose house! How can it be compared with your house? Your big family lives in a yard as big as yours. There are more than ten or twenty families living in our yard, so there are a lot of troubles. Third aunt, wash your hands." Clothes."
Liu Guangqi took Bai Jingye into the courtyard, greeted the people in the courtyard, and walked towards the backyard.
Apart from anything else, Bai Jingye is good to his children. Except for the matter of Tong Yue, he basically follows the children's wishes. Although he is a little partial, as long as they are his own children, they will basically not have any material problems. Thanks to his own children. Let's just say that yesterday the two of them agreed to come and see the house, and they came here early this morning.
"Mom, this is Uncle Bai, my master's son."
"Uncle Bai, this is my mother. This is the third brother Liu Guangfu. My father and my second brother are not at home, one goes to work and the other goes to school."
After Liu Guangqi brought Bai Jingye to his home, he introduced him and Liu's mother to each other.
"Hello"
"Hello, this child is what he is today thanks to your family's care. Thank you very much."
The two sides nodded at each other, and Liu Ma quickly expressed her gratitude to Bai Jingye.
"You're welcome. This child is where he is today thanks to his own efforts, and our family just provided a little help."
Bai Jingye is quite good at talking about scenes.
"Hey, young man, look at my brain. You sit down first and I'll make you a pot of tea."
After chatting for a few words, Ma Liu patted her forehead and walked towards the kitchen, ready to pour water and make tea.
"Your family of five will live in this room. Can it fit in?"
While the tea was brewing, Bai Jingye took a look at the layout of the Liu family and couldn't help but ask.
