After Xiang Nan's heroic deeds of fighting against robbers on the train were reported back to Jintan Village in Yuquanying, Ning'an County, it really caused a sensation in the village.
"Oh, Yong Fu'er, this kid is so tough that he dares to fight with robbers. He is truly worthy of being from Xihaigudi."
"This baby really brings glory to our village~"
"I live in the same village as him, so I don't think he is very pinched. After marrying my wife, I feel like a different person."
"As the old saying goes, when you have a family and a career, your children will become men. So, you have to get married early!"
People in the village talked a lot.
Even Ning'an County, after learning about this incident, specially sent propagandists to Jintan Village to inquire about Xiang Nan's deeds and prepare to praise him in the county newspaper.
After all, Ning'an County has never produced such a great hero in all these years.
After inquiring like this, I found out that Xiang Nan was not only a famous peasant writer in addition to fighting gangsters.
He wrote "Monument", "Women Crossing the River of Men", "On the Field of Hope", "Helan Snow", "Wolfbane Flower", etc., which were not only praised by "October", "Story Club", "People's Literature" "" and other publications, and has also been published by People's Publishing House and Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House. It can be said that he is a very good writer.
After learning about this incident, Ning'an County felt as if it had found a treasure and immediately promoted it and reported it to Yinchuan City.
When Yinchuan City learned about this, they were also very surprised. They immediately looked for Xiang Nan and prepared to establish him as a typical figure and give him key publicity.
Firstly, Xiang Nan is a hero who fights gangsters and deserves publicity; secondly, Xiang Nan is a well-known writer well-known in the literary world and deserves publicity even more.
In the early 1990s, writer was still a very noble term.
A well-known writer with very high social status and influence.
It is no exaggeration to say that one article written by the author is widely read across the country. It is equivalent to a big V in the Internet era. It has the right to speak and is naturally taken seriously.
The literary world in Gexia has always been barren, and there have been few great writers in recent years.
Xiang Nan, as one of the best, has both talent and moral character, so he naturally needs to promote it well.
…
After Xiang Nan and Shui Hua returned to Yinchuan, they were also considering their next move.
Now they have more than 67 million yuan, which is a huge fortune. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the currency depreciates in the future, this money will be enough to spend.
"Shui Hua, I think it's not enough for us to enjoy happiness ourselves. We should also lead the fellow villagers to get rich together. This way of living is meaningful. Are you right?" Xiang Nan discussed with Shui Hua.
"Well, I think so too." Shui Hua nodded.
She is a grateful person. When she was in Yongquan Village, she received a lot of help from the villagers. Now that they are living a good life, she also wants the villagers to live a good life.
"What should we do then? Distribute the money directly to everyone?" Shuihua asked again.
"No, that can only support lazy people." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "It's not my hard-earned money, I don't feel bad about spending it."
Splash nodded.
"The idea is that teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching them how to fish! We should teach people how to make money and provide money-making opportunities to the villagers, so that they can learn skills and make money at the same time," Xiang Nan said.
"What should we do?" Shuihua asked curiously.
"I want to teach the villagers to grow fruit trees in the Gobi Desert, apples, wolfberries, grapes..." Xiang Nan explained, "When we travel in the south, we can see that in big cities, fruits are easy to sell and the prices are also good. It is much more expensive than here. Especially for high-quality fruits, there is no need to worry about sales.
Our summer in Liaoning Province has a large temperature difference between day and night, long sunshine hours, and strong solar radiation, which is very suitable for growing fruits. So I think it's a good idea. "
He wants to grow fruits in Jintan Village. In addition to making money from high-quality fruits, the more important thing is that he has the fruit tree cultivation technology taught by Xie Yongqiang.
Many of these technologies are very advanced now and are equivalent to half an expert. Therefore, it is relatively easy for him to guide the villagers.
Upon hearing this, Shuihua nodded in agreement.
She and Xiang Nan have been playing in the south for three months, which has broadened their horizons a lot. She also knows that people in the city like to eat fruits, and the prices of fruits are quite high.
For example, apples in Yinchuan cost a few cents per pound, but when sold to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou they cost just a few cents, and the price will be several times higher. The profits are huge if you think about it.
…
After setting the goal of cultivating fruit trees and getting rich together, Xiang Nan began to plan where to find saplings and how to persuade the villagers of Jintan Village to follow him in planting fruit trees.
All the villagers in Jintan Village are afraid of poverty, which makes them afraid to take risks, try easily, or make changes.
In the play, Professor Ling teaches everyone how to grow Agaricus bisporus. At the beginning, the villagers were a thousand or ten thousand reluctant. Finally, when they saw Debao making money selling mushrooms, they all followed him to grow mushrooms.
However, it takes two months to see returns from growing mushrooms, and at least two years to grow fruit trees. During this period, saplings, watering, fertilizing, pruning... everything costs money.
Moreover, after planting fruit trees, it is difficult to plant anything else in the ground. There has been no harvest for two consecutive years. That was a big test for the villagers. They may not dare to follow it.
In addition, fruit trees need economies of scale. Only when the output is high will foreign merchants come to buy fruits. If the output is only a few acres of land, foreign merchants will not come at all.
When sold locally, the fruit is not like Agaricus bisporus. There is no shortage of fruit in this area of Jiexia, and they cannot be sold at high prices. The only way to make a lot of money is to take out.
If you transport it yourself, just a few tons of output, and transport it to the south, the profit will not even be enough to pay for the freight. At that time, no money can be made, and the villagers will not see the benefits, so they still dare not follow suit.
This creates a vicious cycle.
Therefore, it must be scaled up from the beginning in order to be effective.
Xiang Nan estimated that at the beginning, it would be at least two hundred acres. There is still wasteland in Jintan Village, but I don't know if he is willing to contract it.
After all, it is still the early 1990s, and private business is restricted, let alone large-scale land contracting.
…
Just when Xiang Nan was about to return to Yuquan Camp to discuss the matter with the local people, people from Yinchuan City came over, hoping to set Xiang Nan up as a role model.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded immediately.
He is worried about how to deal with them. This is really a sleepy pillow, and he will get whatever he wants.
Xiang Nan then accepted an interview with the media, telling the story of his brave fight against gangsters, his creative experience, and his determination to lead the villagers to get rich together.
After this report was published, Xiang Nan immediately became popular.
Fighting gangsters is a trivial matter, but the key point is that a farmer actually became a writer. He wrote nearly two million words of articles in half a year, and the articles were published, earning more than 400,000 yuan...
This makes people envious.
You must know that in the early 1990s, households with ten thousand yuan were still a rarity.
However, Xiang Nan rose from a poor man to a well-known writer by writing articles, and earned more than 400,000 yuan.
What a miracle! How could it not be enviable!
Xiang Nan's determination to lead the villagers to get rich together also satisfied the city very much. Xiang Nan was given the green light to contract land in the village and teach the villagers to grow fruit trees.
