Babaoliang Village. Zhou Family!
Zhou Yang coughed lightly, and then said: "When I went to Qingcheng some time ago, Dean Kang from the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry told me that the province will build a new batch of Landrace pig seedling breeding bases in various league cities. , Dean Kang plans to build one of the bases in our Babaoliang Village!"
"But Dean Kang just mentioned it briefly at the time, and this matter still needs to be reported to the province. Whether it will be approved or not is still unknown, so I didn't tell everyone."
"I received a call from Dean Kang this afternoon. She said that the province has approved the matter. The provincial working group will arrive in our Babaoliang Village in two days and asks us to cooperate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ping asked in surprise: "What does this pig seedling breeding base do? How should we cooperate?"
"The pig seedling breeding base, as the name suggests, is for breeding pig seedlings. It is somewhat similar to the county's breeding farm, but on a larger scale."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Once completed, our county and even several nearby counties may need this base to provide pig seedlings. As expected, our village will no longer worry about a lack of pig seedlings!"
"In addition, with this base here, if we have extra feed, we can sell it to them. This will give us another way to make money. In short, there are many benefits!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Everyone is not a fool, and everyone can understand the benefits Zhou Yang mentioned once they think about it, not to mention that there is a living example like the Xipo Research Institute there.
Since the research institute was built on the west slope, a large amount of rice, flour, grain and oil, as well as pigs, sheep, chickens and eggs in the village have been supplied there.
Compared with the supply and marketing cooperative, the price offered to villagers by the research institute is higher.
Of course, this is not to say that Zhou Yang deliberately paid high prices to take care of the villagers, but because they would have to spend more money if they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase supplies.
Take pork as an example. If the pigs in Babaoliang Village are sold to a meat factory, the price of pure meat is 60 cents per pound, not counting the water on the head and hooves.
The supply and marketing cooperative sells it to the common people for 80 cents per catty, and meat stamps are required.
If there is no meat stamp, it will cost one yuan per pound.
Therefore, the institute gives the village 70 cents for a pound of meat without giving meat stamps. This should be very reasonable!
It's not just pork, rice, noodles, grains, oils and other daily necessities are all like this.
Over the past year, the village has made a lot of money from the research institute.
At this time, Zhang Genwang suddenly said: "That's a good thing, but do you want our village to pay for it..."
"No, all construction funds for the base will be allocated by the province. All we have to do is set aside a special area!" Zhou Yang said.
"How big is the land?"
"No less than three hundred acres!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "But building a seedling base does not require particularly fertile land, or even particularly flat land. Slopes, mountains, and woodlands will all work."
At this time, Wang Ping suddenly said: "There is a white stone beach between Zuojia Village and Zhangjia Village. Since it is all stones, nothing can grow, and the area is not small. Do you think it would be okay to build that base somewhere?"
Zhou Yang did not answer him, but looked at Qin Xueyi next to him and asked, "Teacher Qin, what do you think?"
"I don't think the problem is big. To build a seedling base, we only need water. There is a small stream flowing near Zhangjia Village and Zuojia Village, so water is not a big problem!" Qin Xueyi said.
"In that case, then tell the members of Zhangjia Village and Zuojia Village to vacate that land!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Comrade Zuo Jiansheng and Comrade Wang Tiehan tomorrow and listen to their opinions!"
"Okay, do you have anything else to do? If not..."
Before Zhou Yang finished speaking, he heard Cui Jinjin, the captain of the educated youth, suddenly say: "Zhou educated youth, I have something to tell you!"
"What's going on?"
"It's not that the new year is approaching, and everyone has been allocated enough money and food this year, so there is an endless stream of educated youths who come to me to ask for leave and go home these days. Because there are too many people, I don't know if I should take this leave. Batch!" Cui Qian said.
Hearing this, other people in the room immediately frowned, and then expressed their opinions on the matter:
"If all these people go back, what will happen to the village's livelihood?"
"That's right, there are many machines that even ordinary members of our village can't operate, so we can't just give up on them all!"
"Yes, we can't all take leave..."
After hearing everyone expressing their opinions, Zhou Yang immediately signaled everyone to be quiet.
Then, he asked Cui Qianjin: "Qianjin, how many people are asking for leave?"
"There are forty male educated youths here. I don't know much about the situation of female educated youths!" Cui Qian said.
"There are thirty or forty people here!" Liu Lu said.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang fell silent for a while.
There are now a total of 1,560 educated youths in the village, which is equivalent to half of them asking for leave.
The most important thing is that most of these educated youths are responsible for the work of feed factories, bone meal factories, mills, pig farms, and chicken farms, and they belong to the "technical positions" in the village.
If these people all take leave, it will indeed affect the village's production.
But after some consideration, Zhou Yang still said: "Approval!"
"Comrade Zhou Yang..."
"Zhou Zhiqing..."
Before everyone could finish speaking, Zhou Yang interrupted everyone and said, "I know that if these educated youth suddenly ask for leave, it may affect the village's production, but I am also an educated youth, and I understand their thoughts and status!"
"Most people left their homes and traveled thousands of miles to come to Saibei Province. Many of them may not have been home to see their families for several years. It's not that they don't want to go home, but that conditions don't allow it."
"It's easy to get enough money and food this year. We all don't have to worry about the few yuan of travel expenses. We all want to go back to see our families and celebrate the New Year together. Let's help everyone!"
After hearing Zhou Yang's words, everyone fell silent.
In fact, everyone knows what kind of life the educated youths live in the village.
In other words, life has been better in the past two years. In the past few years, it will be good if we can no longer owe the production team after one year.
Under such circumstances, unless their family conditions are relatively good, there are really not many people who can afford to go home during the New Year.
After a moment of silence, Wang Ping finally spoke: "But production..."
"Except for a few machines, the work in the feed factory and bone meal factory actually does not have much technical content. Ordinary members can also do it, and it should not affect production!" Zhou Yang said.
"That's okay!" Wang Ping said.
Zhou Yang looked at Cui Jinjin and Liu Lu, and then said: "You go back and tell the educated youths. Anyone who wants to take leave to go home can write a written request for leave and send it to the brigade headquarters. At that time, the village will send everyone to the county seat by bus."
"Okay, I'll tell everyone the good news when I get back!"
"Well, in addition, let everyone control the time of leave. Try not to exceed twenty days. You must return to the village before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while before leaving Zhou Yang's house together.
Just when my uncle Li Jianguo was about to go out, he suddenly said to Zhou Yang: "Brother-in-law, when I came here just now, my father asked me to give you a message. When you are not busy one day, come to the old house!"
Zhou Yang looked at his watch. It was just before half past seven, and then said: "I'm not busy right now, let's go back to the old house together!"
"also!"
Afterwards, Zhou Yang took Chen Beixuan and rushed to the Li family's old house with Li Jianguo!
PS: The third chapter was delivered. I went out with the little girl. I came back late. Sorry!
