Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on him, Zhou Yang knew it was time to speak for himself.
Just now, my words were indeed difficult for my father-in-law and others to understand!
After all, grass is grass, and in their eyes, this stuff will never be as valuable as food.
Now he not only has to replace all the surplus grain of the production team with grass, but also has to use reserve grain and emergency grain, which is not very reasonable in itself.
You must know that this is emergency food specially prepared by the village for needy households and to deal with major disasters, and it cannot be used easily.
But Zhou Yang also had his own ideas. He coughed lightly and then said: "I know this idea is difficult for everyone to understand, but we still have to do this!"
"I won't say much else. I just want to ask, do you guys want to live a good life and have more money at the end of the year?"
Although Zhou Yang did not give everyone a convincing reason, the implication was that he did this to pay more dividends to the members at the end of the year.
For a moment, everyone in the office was silent.
After a long time, Li Fengnian asked in a deep voice: "How sure are you?"
"To say 100% is a bit exaggerated, but 80% is still fine!" Zhou Yang said.
"In that case, let's vote with a show of hands. Those comrades who agree to continue exchanging grain for grass please raise their hands!"
After finishing speaking, Li Fengnian immediately raised his hand.
He still trusts his son-in-law very much. Since he has said so, it should not be a big problem.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jianguo and Wang Ping, who had just recovered from injuries, also raised their hands. Yan Gengdong, Qin Xueyi, Tan Shiqing and others were not far behind and raised their hands to support Zhou Yang.
At this time, only Zhang Genwang and Liang Feng were left in the office.
Although the two of them still had some doubts in their hearts, after all, this matter was really not a small matter. Once something happened, they would be held accountable.
But seeing that everyone else chose to support Zhou Yang, they hesitated for a while, but they still raised their hands.
Seeing everyone raising their hands, Li Fengnian said in a deep voice: "Since no one objects, then the matter is settled and we will continue to trade food for grass!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang immediately said: "The exchange of grain for grass must continue, and the digging of fermentation tanks cannot stop. After all, these straws and wheat straw will eventually be turned into feed!"
"We can now keep up with the production speed of grass powder, and there is no shortage of starters, but there are fewer fermentation tanks!"
"And the ground is about to freeze solid, and we don't have much time left!"
Li Jianguo immediately said: "Then I will continue to ask people to speed up the digging, and try to dig out a few more large ponds before the freeze solidifies!"
"Um..."
Just as he was talking, a car bell suddenly sounded outside the brigade headquarters.
Everyone looked up and saw several gay men wearing dog-skin hats and thick scarves riding bicycles into the brigade yard.
After seeing these people, Tan Shiqing suddenly said: "Ah, the debt collection team from the county hospital is here!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang's heart immediately moved and he asked immediately: "Have they been here before?"
"I came here a few days ago, but it turned out that Party Secretary Li went to the commune for a meeting that day, and Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang Ping were not in the village, so I asked them to go back!" Tan Shiqing said.
Everyone in the county hospital's debt collection team is familiar with it. Most of the members have average incomes these days, so naturally they don't have much savings.
If you have thirty or fifty yuan, you are considered a good person, and if you have one or two hundred yuan, you are considered a rich person.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.
It is inevitable that every family will have an illness or accident. Once you deal with the hospital, your family's little money will go bankrupt in minutes.
But the only commendable thing these days is that hospitals are backed by the state. Doctors, regardless of whether their medical skills are good or not, are always trying to save lives and heal the wounded.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter even if you have no money. The hospital will not stop your medication or kick you out of the hospital just because you owe money.
No one would do that these days, and no one would dare to do that!
When encountering patients who have no money, the hospital usually asks the production team to pay in advance. But if the production team also has no money, then they will owe it.
Therefore, every year when the autumn harvest is over, the county hospital will send a debt collection team to various commune brigades and production teams to collect debts.
Seeing that the debt collection team came to the door, Li Fengnian immediately asked everyone to adjourn the meeting temporarily, and then led Zhang Genwang and others to welcome them out.
The other party is here to collect debts from the members, and has nothing to do with the brigade, but they still have to treat people well, lest others don't treat the members of the village in the future, which is not good!
There are four people in the debt collection team, three men and one woman. The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties.
After seeing Li Fengnian, the middle-aged man immediately smiled and said, "Zhishu Li, I'm sorry, we're here again!"
Li Fengnian also smiled and said: "Old Bai, you are also the section chief, why do you keep running to the countryside like Huang Shiren every year?"
While talking, Li Fengnian invited Section Chief Bai and his team to the brigade office, and asked Tan Shiqing to pour tea for everyone.
After entering the room, Section Chief Bai said with a smile: "The young people below are very thin-skinned. Every time they are prevaricated by the members, they come back. If I don't follow, the debt collection task of the Finance Department will not be completed!"
"It won't be completed until it's completed. Anyway, your county hospital has local financial support, so what are you afraid of!"
"Having said that, the county hospital loses too much every year, and the county's economy is not doing well this year. If we don't collect some debt, I'm afraid there won't be money to purchase medicines next year. It won't be ordinary people who will suffer by then!" Bai The section chief said helplessly.
At this moment, Zhou Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Chief Bai, how many people in our Babaoliang Village owe medical expenses to the county hospital now, and how much money do we owe in total?"
Section Chief Bai had obviously made statistics before. When he heard this, he immediately said: "Last year, there were 8 households in total, which totaled 366 yuan and 60 cents!"
"What about previous years?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Over the years, that's a lot. In the past five years, 54 households in your village have owed medical expenses to the county hospital. The minimum is 6 yuan and the maximum is 112 yuan. The total is more than a thousand yuan!" Section Chief Bai replied road.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "It's indeed a lot!"
Section Chief Bai looked at Li Fengnian, and then said: "Party Secretary Li, we also know that the harvests in each village this year are not very good, so we have no plans to collect all the debts!"
"You can help talk to the members who owe money. Pay back half first, and pay back the rest gradually. Do you think it's feasible?"
Li Fengnian was about to speak when Zhou Yang suddenly said: "Section Chief Bai, these are the life-saving money owed by the members. We will definitely repay this money!"
"Do you think this is okay? Let's discuss it with Xianrong. Is it okay to give you an answer later?"
Section Chief Bai also knew Zhou Yang and knew that he was Li Fengnian's son-in-law. He immediately said: "That's okay. We happen to have to go to the next few towns. We will come back when we return in the afternoon. Then you can give me some advice." We answer!”
"OK!"
Afterwards, Section Chief Bai briefly talked to Li Fengnian about the situation of the villagers who were in debt before taking them away!
