At the brigade door, Zhou Yang looked at the smiling Li Changqing on the jeep and felt a little happy.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Li Changqing for several months!
Originally, I planned to visit him before and after the New Year, but due to project matters, he was like a top and had no time to go to the county seat.
After Li Changqing got off the car, he said with a smile: "It seems that I came at the right time. If it were any later, you would have left!"
"Haha, you are a rare visitor, why are you here, Lao Li!"
"Let's see you and talk about something by the way!" Li Changqing said.
"Oh, let's talk in the house!"
"OK!"
Afterwards, the two returned to the brigade headquarters together.
At this time, Wang Ping and others, like Zhou Yang, had just come out of the brigade office and were preparing to rush to Xiaohewan and the construction site at the school.
As soon as they went out, they saw Zhou Yang and Li Changqing walking in from outside the brigade headquarters, and they were stunned.
Li Changqing has been to Babaoliang Village several times. Almost all village cadres know him and know that he is a big leader in the county.
At that moment, Wang Ping and others all stopped and came over to say hello!
Although Li Changqing didn't know many people, he knew Wang Ping and Zhang Genwang, as well as Li Jianguo, and responded to them one by one.
Then, seeing that everyone seemed to have something to do, he said: "I came here today mainly to see Comrade Zhou Yang. If you have something to do, please go ahead and get busy!"
After hearing this, Wang Ping and others stopped joining in the fun and left the brigade headquarters one after another.
When they arrived at the office, the two sat down across a simple desk.
The little girl Tan Shiqing immediately poured a bowl of water for each of them, and then left the office wisely.
When only the two of them were left in the entire office, Li Changqing said immediately: "I came here today mainly for two things. The first thing is to ask if you are free tomorrow?"
"what?"
"The county would like to invite you to a work summary meeting and commend you by the way. It can be regarded as a celebration party!"
"What?"
Zhou Yang was a little confused when he heard this. It's only April, so what's the point of commending him from time to time?
“Two days ago, under the auspices of the county, the pigs were released!”
Zhou Yang's expression was slightly shocked, and then he hurriedly asked: "Sold?"
"Well, the first batch sold a total of 27,000 pigs, plus 16,000 sheep, 1,200 cattle and 800 mules and horses, for a total of 6.58 million yuan!" Li Changqing said excitedly.
However, Zhou Yang frowned when he heard this and immediately asked: "Why is it just that little?"
He knew that there were as many as 60,000 people affected by the disaster in the county. More than 6 million seemed like a lot, but on average each person paid less than 100 yuan.
More importantly, according to the original plan, the piglets and cattle, sheep, mules and horses sent by the county to the commune members were not given for free. When the time came, the people had to pay back the original money.
If this part of the money is taken away, the people will get even less.
Li Changqing smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, kid. There are still a lot of piglets that haven't been put into the market. There weren't that many piglets in the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry at the beginning, and the last batch was delivered just before the Gregorian calendar year. Now, It’s only been more than three months and it can’t be sold yet!”
"In addition, some production teams want to continue raising sheep, and some production teams originally lack large livestock, so they keep the cattle or mules and horses as livestock."
"So that's what happened, it scared me!" Zhou Yang said with a long breath.
"Haha, according to our statistics, the affected production teams now have at least 13,000 pigs, 4,000 sheep, 380 cattle, and 570 mules and horses that have not been sold. The overall value exceeds more than 3 million yuan."
Then Li Changqing continued: "Therefore, after evaluation, the county believes that this poverty alleviation and disaster relief plan is a complete success. After reporting to the prefectural committee administration, it has been decided to hold a summary meeting tomorrow to commend the meritorious comrades!"
However, Zhou Yang smiled and said: "The plan is successful, I am also very happy, but I will not go to this commendation meeting!"
"why is that?"
Then Li Changqing said again: "You are the biggest contributor to our plan. Director Hu from the county and Deputy Director Wang from the prefectural committee have instructed us to invite you over no matter what!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "First of all, I am too busy with work. It is really difficult for me to take a day to hold a commendation meeting."
"It doesn't take a day, half a day is enough!"
"That's quite annoying. You will know how busy I am in a day when you go around the village. I am not blinding you!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Secondly, there is another reason why I don't go, and that is that I think you, Lao Li, are the biggest contributors to this matter!"
"You kid, just wear a high hat for me..."
Seeing that Li Changqing was about to refute, Zhou Yang immediately interrupted him and said, "Old Li, you might want to say that without me, there would be no such plan, and there would be no subsequent events, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Yes, but you have to understand that I was just paying lip service from beginning to end and was not involved in the actual work."
Then Zhou Yang said again: "On the contrary, it was you and other comrades in the county who contacted the province, contacted the members, and took risks to get loans from credit unions. It was you who pushed forward the entire plan step by step. , so I can’t go to this commendation meeting.”
As soon as the words changed, Zhou Yang said again: "Of course, I don't dare to go. I don't know how many of you there are. If I go, I will have to come back sideways!"
Hearing this, Li Changqing couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Zhou Yang's terrible drinking capacity.
"I knew it would be like this. You kid is too light on this aspect. Forget it, just don't go if you don't want to!"
"Hahaha, thank you for understanding!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Li Changqing shook his head and said again: "The second thing I asked you about is to ask about the plan we agreed on at the beginning of the year!"
"Isn't it already settled? Are there any other questions?"
"It has been decided. We initially estimated that we would order 150,000 piglets from the province, but after thorough research, almost all production teams are now willing to raise large white pigs!"
Speaking of this, Li Changqing's expression turned slightly nervous.
"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you nervous?" Zhou Yang asked in confusion.
"Can I not be nervous? Some time ago, I asked various township communes to go to each village and each production team to count the number. Good guy, they reported the number to me directly: 660,000!" Li Changqing said.
"so much?"
"Yes, the total population of our county is only about 280,000. This includes the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Excluding these people, the actual labor force is less than 200,000. This is equivalent to each person having to support Three pigs!”
Then Li Changqing continued: "I was really shocked when I saw this summary data. If something goes wrong, all the township communes in the county will go bankrupt, and the people will have to follow the northwest wind!"
"Although your worry is reasonable, in my opinion it is unnecessary!" Zhou Yang said.
"What do you mean?"
"As a leader, it is understandable that you have to consider risks, but judging from the previous experience of Babaoliang Village and subsequent disaster-stricken towns, Landrace pigs are very adaptable to the climate and special feed of our Yunshan County, so they failed. Very unlikely."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Taking a step back, even if it is a failure, all 660,000 pigs are wiped out, and the piglets' money will be lost. We in Yunshan County can compensate more than 200,000 people." rise!"
"On the other hand, if these pigs are really grown, not to mention the 660,000 pigs themselves are worth nearly 100 million, more importantly, they can form a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain in our Yunshan County. This It’s vital to the development of the entire county.”
To be honest, 660,000 pigs seemed like an astronomical figure to Li Changqing, but it was not an exaggeration to Zhou Yang.
Li Changqing was surprised because he didn't know how exaggerated the data of major pig-raising counties and provinces were in later generations.
As far as Sichuan Province is concerned, the annual pig slaughter volume is 70 million.
In Pengxi, a small county under Sichuan Province, the number of pigs slaughtered every year is as high as one million.
Yunshan County is rich in land resources, the people are hardworking enough, and with the support of the government, as long as the planting structure is slightly adjusted and sufficient feed is prepared for these piglets, the pigs will surely be raised.
When Li Changqing heard Zhou Yang's words, he subconsciously swallowed a few times.
The words "worth 100 million" were deeply engraved in his mind. You must know that the county's annual food mission is worth about 80 million.
Even if everything is collected, most of the time, 90% can be collected, but like last year, not even 40% was collected.
If the county can earn 100 million from raising pigs, it will definitely cause a national sensation.
Thinking of this, Li Changqing's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
