Li Changqing is a practical person. He knows Zhou Yang's ability. Since he said there is a way to solve this problem, maybe there is a way.
I immediately told the office staff and asked them to prepare the car quickly.
Then he called another subordinate and went to the countryside with him.
Soon, the car was ready at the office.
Without much preparation, Li Changqing called Zhou Yang and his assistant, and the group drove towards Babaoliang Village.
With the little jeep as a means of transportation, Zhou Yang naturally couldn't go back with Niu Dazhuang, and could only let him drive the carriage back to the village by himself.
When the car passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yang asked the driver to stop temporarily.
And he quickly walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and bought ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of soju and some side dishes to go with the wine, and then returned to the car.
Compared to the slow carriage, the jeep is indeed much faster.
The journey that originally took two hours ended up in less than half an hour.
The car drove directly into the brigade headquarters, but found that except Tan Shiqing, no one else was there.
After asking carefully, I found out that my father-in-law, Li Fengnian, and several village cadres, along with other members of the village, had gone to the black stone land at the west end of the village to build a new feed factory!
Zhou Yang declined Tan Shiqing's suggestion to call people back, and instead asked her to deliver the meat and wine he bought to the educated youth point, while he took Li Changqing and others directly to the pig farm behind.
When we arrived at the pig farm, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
As soon as I came here, I smelled the pungent smell of pig manure from a distance.
No matter how clean the pig farm is, as long as it is large enough, the smell of pig manure is almost unavoidable.
Especially in the summer, it really smells bad.
Even in winter, the biting cold wind can't suppress the nauseating smell that penetrates the soul.
Fortunately, Li Changqing and others are not the kind of superior officials who sit in the office every day.
They had experienced hardship and knew the situation in the village, so they endured the discomfort and followed Zhou Yang to the pig pen.
When they saw that the pig pens in Babaoliang Village were filled with chubby big white pigs, they were all shocked.
They have all seen pigs before, and some people have even raised them in their homes.
In their perception, pigs are not all black-haired. Although they occasionally see some brown-haired pigs that are hybrids of domestic pigs and wild boars, they have never seen white-haired pigs.
"Zhou Yang, why do the pigs you raise here have white hair?" Li Changqing asked in surprise.
Zhou Yang immediately explained: "This kind of pig is called Landrace pig, which is a new breed introduced from abroad. This kind of pig has the characteristics of fast growth rate and short breeding cycle, so it is very suitable for large-scale breeding."
"Look at the pigs raised in our pig farm, which are less than three months old, but most of them have already weighed 140 to 50 kilograms!"
Li Changqing and others were shocked when they heard Zhou Yang's words.
In three months, he weighed 150 pounds, which completely subverted their understanding.
You should know that the kind of black-haired pig you usually see can grow to 200 pounds in a year, which is very incense. In three months, it only weighs 50 or 60 pounds at most.
"How many months can a pig like this be sold normally?" Li Changqing asked again.
"Four to six months, depending on the breeding situation!" Zhou Yang replied.
Shocked, Li Changqing immediately understood Zhou Yang's thoughts.
If this kind of pig can be promoted throughout the county, the food shortage in the county may really turn around.
You must know that the current food shortage is only in a few counties under the administration. Whether it is the Hetao Plain in the west or the North China Plain in the south, this year's food harvest has been bumper.
In other words, this is only a local shortage of food, and there is no shortage across the country.
As long as you have money, food can still be solved.
If we can get a batch of piglets for the disaster-stricken production teams, as long as the food produced by their teams can last for four to six months, they can wait until the piglets grow up.
When the piglets grow up and are sold for money, they can use the money to buy food, and the problem will be solved.
In this way, the county would have to spend at most just a few piglets, which would definitely be much less than what it would cost to provide large-scale relief to these victims.
But he soon realized a problem, that is, what do so many pigs eat?
There is no pigweed in the winter, so we have to feed the pigs grains.
If there were so much grain, why would we just feed people directly? Why raise pigs?
Zhou Yang obviously saw Li Changqing's doubts and immediately introduced their biological feed pig raising model to him in detail.
In order to let him see the feasibility of this pig-raising model more intuitively, Zhou Yang took them to see the feed mill and bone meal factory in the village, and then took Li Changqing to chat with Qin Xueyi, who was about to return to the provincial capital.
After learning about the magical pig-raising model in Babaoliang Village, Li Changqing was completely stunned and greatly inspired.
This summer's widespread drought in the county has greatly affected the growth of crops due to the lack of rain in the early stages.
But after the end of summer, it rained continuously, and the crops in the later period continued to grow wildly.
As a result, such a situation occurred. The crops that were supposed to produce food ended up with stalks and leaves, but there was not much food.
Usually, these straws are either used as fodder for livestock or used as firewood.
If it can really be used to raise pigs, it will not only solve the county's food shortage crisis, but even build a new industrial chain.
After confirming that there were no technical problems, Li Changqing immediately put this idea into a simple plan with the help of Zhou Yang, Yan Gengdong, Qin Xueyi and others, and then hurried back to the county with the plan.
Seeing the little Jeep's retreating shadow, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shake his head.
They say plans can never keep up with changes, and I don’t lie to you!
Originally, according to Zhou Yang's plan, he planned to first use the two production teams in Babaoliang Village as a pilot, and then successfully raise one or two batches of Landrace pigs, greatly increasing the income of the village members, and establishing a new model in the entire Babaoliang Brigade. Benchmark.
In this way, the old father-in-law's strong appeal in the entire brigade can be used to guide the entire Babaoliang brigade and 17 production teams in 8 natural villages to raise pigs together.
Finally, from point to point, all the people in the county are allowed to raise pigs together.
In this process, Babaoliang Village can earn some profits through commercial activities such as recycling straw and selling feed.
But once the county gets involved, the technology of biological feed will probably be made public, and selling feed may become a thing of the past.
I can make it myself, so why should I pay a high price for yours?
But thinking about the tens of thousands of victims who were hungry, what could Zhou Yang say?
Could he risk the lives of fifty or sixty thousand people for the sake of the village's slightest benefit?
Or should we bite the bullet and let the county reach out to the city, and then the city ask the province for help?
In the face of such a big issue of right and wrong, most people should know how to choose, not to mention this era of dedication.
Therefore, Zhou Yang believed that if his father-in-law, Zhang Genwang, and Wang Ping knew about this, they would definitely not stand idly by.
Of course, what Zhou Yang provides now is just an idea.
As for the county's final choice and what plan it will use, Zhou Yang has no control over it. This is all he can do.
Because he is going to the capital tomorrow, and it will be almost the end of the month when he comes back, which means that he may not be involved in this matter throughout the whole process.
But no matter what the county chooses in the end, Zhou Yang hopes that the tens of thousands of severely affected people can avoid famine. The feeling of starvation is really uncomfortable.
