Chapter 1078 Two good news

Ten days later, Yanchang County's work-for-relief construction project was completed, with a total of 100,000 kilograms of grain. The food that was eaten was all gone to the hands of the people.

Just as the people brought the food given by the government and prepared to have a good rest. When the spring plowing came, the broken bell at the entrance of Zhonggu Village suddenly rang.

In less than half an hour, dozens of strong laborers brought their families to the entrance of the village.

The elderly, weak, women and children stand behind, while the head of the household is concentrated in front.

"Old village chief, what's the matter? Call us here early in the morning!" a middle-aged man said with dissatisfaction.

"Good thing!" The village chief answered very simply, and then introduced to dozens of people: "The one standing next to me is a cadre sent by the county government. You can call him Director Wang. Director Wang was entrusted by the county government to bring you two good news. Now let Director Wang tell you in person."

When everyone heard the words "good news", they stared at Officer Wang with their eyes shining!

"My fellow villagers, I'm going to tell you a long story. You all know the chicken manure you usually use to grow vegetables!" Director Wang asked straight to the point without saying nonsense.

Seeing many people nodding, Director Wang continued: "Adding chicken manure in the vegetable field can increase the fertility of the land, so that the vegetables we grow in the vegetable field can grow better. After many efforts, the county government has found a way to use livestock and our human manure, plus plants and crop straw to ferment fertilizer together. It is planned to promote it throughout the county, so that the land where we grow grain can also use this fertilizer to increase grain production!"

"This method of fermenting farm fertilizer is very simple. Every household can do it. After the meeting is over, I will go to each household for guidance!"

A middle-aged man who had been serving crops for half his life immediately stood up and stared at Mr. Wang and asked: "Those leaves and crop straw can really ferment... The land here is too barren and has no fertility. If we can also use fertilizer like chicken manure in the fields, the grain will definitely increase production!"

"It can definitely be fermented! The county government will not use such a big thing to deceive everyone. Moreover, fermenting fertilizer only requires some effort from fellow villagers. Even if it really fails, it will not suffer any loss. However, if it succeeds, every household can increase its income by hundreds of kilograms of grain this year's autumn harvest!"

"Director Wang is right, the county government will not lie to us!" the village chief interrogated in time.

"Since County Magistrate Ouyang came, we have been working on the water conservancy construction that we have not done for several years. It was made directly under her guidance. The method of fertilization was also found by County Magistrate Ouyang. He is a college student and has been studying and has education. He will definitely not deceive us, the dealer-makers!"

"Okay, we listen to the county government, and we will prepare to fertilize after we go back..." dozens of household owners shouted after briefly discussing.

At this time, Director Wang spoke again.

"The county government has another decision to announce to everyone!"

"The border government and a businessman are about to set up a public-private joint venture company to acquire a large number of oxen and lambs from other places and rent them for everyone to use."

"The specific method of renting is: rent a mu of oxen and plow the field, and give the company a rent of 20 kilograms of grain after autumn harvest!"

"Twenty kilograms of grain...so much... we can cultivate the land with manpower ourselves, and there is no need to use plowing oxen!" Before Director Wang finished speaking, he shouted with dissatisfaction.

Several people next to him followed and said, "Twenty kilograms of grain are too much. We don't have enough food for autumn harvest, so why do we rent oxen and plow land!"

"We don't need to plow oxen. We have the strength to plow the fields by ourselves!"

At this moment, everyone's reaction was surprisingly the same, all of which were resistance and disagreement.

"It's quiet, don't talk. I haven't finished speaking yet!" Director Wang shouted at the top of his voice.

"There is nothing to say, we don't need to plow the ox!" A middle-aged man retorted directly, staring at Officer Wang, not being polite at all.

The village chief could only stand up and shout, "Okay, calm me down. Listen to Director Wang finish his words. If you don't want to do it, then you won't want it, and no one will force you to agree with a gun. And I believe in the government and County Magistrate Ouyang!"

The village chief's words were still very effective, and the noisy entrance of the village suddenly became quiet.

Secretary Wang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Everyone thinks that the rent for renting oxen and twenty kilograms of grain for one acre of 20 kilograms of grain is a lot, but what I want to tell you is that spending the rent for these 20 kilograms of grain can bring you at least fifty kilograms of grain to increase your income by the autumn harvest!"

Uncle Zhou, who has the most experience in farming in the village, stood up and retorted: "Youngsheng, you are bragging about this. Plowing oxen and plowing the fields is indeed a way to increase grain output, but it is impossible to increase the yield of 70 to 80 kilograms per acre of land!"

Secretary Wang smiled and replied: "Uncle, you are right. It is indeed impossible to increase the income of 70 to 80 kilograms of grain per acre. However, Uncle, you have ignored another thing. Using oxen to plow land to save time and effort, and can save a lot of labor!"

"We usually rely on manual labor to plow the land, and it is already a lot for a family to serve five acres of land. But with the help of plowing oxen, we can serve at least eight acres of land, and the output of three acres of land will be reduced, and the rent for rent for plowing oxen can be increased easily by 400 kilograms of grain a year..."

"Uncle, you must have been a dealer for decades. Many things are clearer than me. I don't know if what I'm talking about is the reason!"

Uncle Zhou did not speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

The others also calmed down at this time and silently calculated what Director Wang had just analyzed.

After almost five minutes, Uncle Zhou spoke: "But, young man, we don't have that much land at all!"

"In our Zhonggu Village, there are four acres of land with few people and six acres of land with many people. This amount of land can be served by manpower alone. There is no need to rent oxen!"

Secretary Wang knew that Uncle Zhou was already tempted and immediately replied: "There is indeed no ready-made land, but we can reclaim it ourselves!"

"There is still a lot of time before spring plowing. Apart from fertilizing, everyone can reclaim wasteland for the rest of their time. The county government means that as long as the mountains and forests are not destroyed, regardless of the elderly, weak, women and children, each person is allowed to have two acres of land. Each household has less than the difference, so you can reclaim it yourself!"

Uncle Zhou's eyes lit up, and then he showed a eager expression on his face, and then he stared at Director Wang and asked.

"Can the county government guarantee that there must be oxen that can be rented to us during spring plowing?"

"It can be guaranteed... the company established in the border area has gone to Shanxi to purchase oxen and lambs!" Director Wang said affirmatively, then changed his subject and continued.

"Besides, even if there is no oxen to rent to everyone, everyone will not suffer any losses. After all, as long as the reclaimed land does not exceed the standards set by the government, it will be everyone's private property and no one can move it!"

"This young man said it well. Our farmer has nothing else, so he only has all his strength. Starting tomorrow, I will first fertilize the fertilizer. After that, I will take my wife and children to reclaim land, and strive to reclaim three acres of land before spring plowing. By then, my old Zhou family will have five acres of land!"

After Uncle Zhou spoke, many people chose to believe it and shouted to reclaim wasteland and rent oxen to plow the fields!

Of course, some ordinary people choose not to take risks and continue to farm with the old methods.

It is not easy for Director Wang to force it, after all, everyone has their own right to choose. And he also believes that after the autumn harvest is over, these people will definitely propose to join in, and no one does not want to live a good life.

At this time, Director Wang continued, "The next thing is to raise sheep!"

The company established by the border government will also buy back a lot of goats while purchasing a large number of plowing cattle. After the spring plowing is over, each household can take one male and one female and two lambs home for breeding. After a year, these lambs will definitely give birth to cubs. At that time, the company will give everyone two choices: after receiving the reward of two oceans, return all the already grown goats and lambs to the company, or accept two lambs as compensation, and return the other goats to the company!"

"Of course, after the end of a year, if you want to continue breeding, you can continue to sign a breeding contract with the company, and the remuneration remains unchanged!"

"In addition, if something happens to a goat during breeding, everyone must compensate at the price of a lamb and a piece of ocean!"
