Chapter 278 Farming to increase production, who says I cant do it? Im just a low-key person, not someone who shows off.
Li Mei put down her bag and took a look. The office was located in a low brick building. The room was not big, with only less than ten square meters and a few desks and chairs.
"Mom, sit down quickly."
"Okay, okay, you guys sit down too."
Li Mei smiled and beckoned Chen Xiaowen to sit next to her, and asked about the recent situation, including the school.
"Are there any difficulties?"
"I don't know if it counts."
Chen Xiaowen told Li Mei that the students could not afford the tuition fees and had insufficient food to eat. "Oh, let alone you, the school and the commune can't do anything about this." Li Mei did not say that this was something that even the country could not solve.
question.
Hundreds of millions of people are in a state of semi-hungry. There are not many people who can truly be said to be full, and even less good food. There are still many people in the city who are unwilling to part with whole grains, white flour, and rice and cannot afford it.
"Are you just looking at it like this?"
Chen Xiaowen really didn't know before that it turned out that the countryside was like this. There were many people who didn't have enough to eat and couldn't afford more than a dollar for tuition.
"There is no good way."
Li Mei said. "I remember that there was an elementary school in the county close to a match factory. Usually students could earn some money by helping the factory stick matchboxes. It's a pity that this matter was reported. There is no decent factory here in Lishan Commune. I'm afraid...
Harder."
"Then there's nothing we can do?"
"No way, unless his family is in a better situation and can provide some food rations."
Li Mei sighed and looked at her daughter, she was still too young. "Anle, your sister Wenwen doesn't know many things. You need to take more care of her."
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm afraid they have to rely on themselves for this matter."
In order to have enough food and clothing by himself, Li Anle figured out a way to make use of these children and accumulate some rations while it was still cold. Otherwise, it would be even worse in the winter, when they were hungry and cold, so how could they study in class.
"Anle, don't just think about this matter by yourself. Ask other teachers for advice. After all, this is not your class's business. You have to rely more on the collective." Li Mei's words are true, after all, they are just teachers.
They don't have to worry about these things. The most important thing to worry about is how to collect the tuition fees. I think the school should have a way.
"Method?"
Wang Shufeng smiled bitterly. "If there is any good way, just collect the money. Don't worry about it. You are just a substitute teacher. Just take good classes. I will tell Director Dong about this."
"Ah, there's nothing we can do?"
"What can I do?"
Wang Shufeng said, "If you have a way, Director Dong will thank you very much."
"You can't force this student to go home and ask for money, right?"
"What else can we do?"
"But if the student's family had money, he would have paid it earlier, so what's the use of forcing him to do so?" Li Anle paused after speaking. "I'm afraid I will have to borrow money from relatives and friends."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it."
Wang Shufeng said, "Many of the school's expenses depend on tuition fees, including temporary teachers' salaries. Besides, the school doesn't make any money from book fees. It charges based on the purchase price."
The county and the commune have no money to subsidize, so they can only rely on this small amount of tuition. If the school does not accept it, they may not be able to pay their wages.
"It's difficult for everyone."
What Wang Shufeng said made Li Anle speechless. Yes, teachers have to eat. There are not many real teachers in the entire elementary school. The salary of temporary teachers is already very low. If it is lowered further, they may not be able to fill their stomachs.
Teachers don't have enough to eat, so they have to collect money from students. Wang Shufeng is used to this. In the past few years, it was okay. The county and communes did not urge the major production teams to send children to school. Now, in order to increase the enrollment rate of school-age children,
, completed the task.
This resulted in many families whose conditions were very poor but had to send their children to school. They had no extra food rations, let alone tuition fees. "Sigh." Li Anle wondered for the first time whether he should do something.
"Doesn't the school have its own pig farm and farmland?"
"Why do you still lack money for salary?"
Chen Xiaowen looked at Li Anle in confusion, and Li Anle smiled bitterly. "The pig farm only has one sow and a few meat pigs. We usually exchange meat stamps. Otherwise, where would the teacher get the meat stamps every month?"
"As for the farmland you mentioned, the good paddy fields are no more than ten acres, and the rest are all sloping land. They are still newly opened and don't have much yield. Even if the paddy fields have two crops of rice a year, the harvest per acre is only three or four hundred, and in a good year it is only five.
A hundred pounds, the whole thing is not much in total, and the food stamps are only enough for the school to give to the teachers." Li Anle smiled bitterly, the school is self-reliant, learns from Dazhai, and combines learning and practice. The participation of students and teachers in farming is actually a formality.
That's all.
In the past, when there were few students, some students could be subsidized with some food rations. Now that there are more students, more teachers are needed. The land in the school and the output of the pig farm may not be enough.
"What should I do?"
"The school asked us to push the students more. To be serious, we might even threaten to quit the school if we don't pay the tuition fees." Li Anle sighed.
"Retreat?"
"Isn't this too serious?"
"Just to scare."
Li Anle said. "There is no rush for tuition fees in advance. The worst I can do is to advance some class tuition fees first and then collect them slowly. But in this case, I am afraid that other class teachers will complain."
"Let's collect the money first."
"It can only be this way."
Chen Xiaowen had no choice. She was originally only a second-year junior high school student, but she was suddenly devolved and now became a temporary teacher. She was not mentally ready. Besides, she grew up in the city. How could she have imagined that she had never encountered such a thing?
What a good idea.
Chen Xiaowen planned to go home from school and ask her mother again. Li Anle was thinking about ways to make students self-reliant. "Now is a collective economy, and there are not many agricultural and sideline products. Mushrooms, that's fine, but it's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."
.”
To donate blood by oneself was only the last resort. Li Anle thought that the best thing could solve the problem of the entire school, and even be a solution that could be popularized.
"I wonder if Uncle Han has any good ideas."
Li Anle muttered, planning to find Han Tianming later. After all, he was the commune secretary, so he might have some good ideas.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is what happened."
After listening to Li Anle's words, Han Tianming frowned and sighed. Lishan Commune was still too poor. This time the task of enrolling school-age children in school came too suddenly. There was no other way. It was the same for the whole county.
We can only push down one step at a time, which leads to the current situation. Although studying is ultimately a good thing, there is no money and no extra rations. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
The only way to change this situation is to increase farmers' income. But how to increase income? There is no good way. Sideline business is not something anyone can start if they want. First, there is no technology, and second, there is no policy support.
"Where are the mushrooms?"
"Uncle Han, this is the last option if you have no choice."
Li Anle said, "The amount of mycelium is too low, and fungus cultivation requires technology."
It's impossible for Li Anle to exchange his glory points for mycelium every month for everyone. He doesn't have to do anything. It may not be enough to exchange all his glory points for mycelium.
"That's going to be difficult."
"We have mountains to back our mountains, and there is a saying that the backers eat the mountains."
"That's what I say, but there must always be good things. People rely on the mountains to feed themselves. There are mineral resources in the mountains. What do we have here?" Han Tianming said.
It's a pity that Li Anle was not from Lishan in his previous life and didn't know what industry there was.
"No, Fuling, I seem to have some impression of the four major Buddhist mountains in China." Li Anle frowned and remembered that someone gave his father some specialties, including Hericium, Hericium, Polygonatum Tea, Stone Fungus, etc.
"There is also a kind of date, which is said to be a tribute."
Li Anle slapped his leg. "Secretary Han, I heard that we have a kind of jujube here that used to be a tribute. Polygonatum japonicus was also a tribute back then. Can you think of a way to do this?"
"Get some selenium-rich dates."
"Yeah, I'll ask later."
"But I'm afraid this matter won't be like this for two or three years."
"Maybe there are wild ones in the mountains."
Li Anle said, "Should we organize the villagers to pick?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. The situation in the mountains is complicated."
There are often wild boars, jackals, tigers and leopards. Although there have been fewer of them these days, there may still be some. Besides, there is no way into the mountains.
"Besides, even if you go into the mountains, I'm afraid you won't be able to pick much."
In the past few years, all the bark of the trees in the mountains had been eaten. I guess there weren't many Polygonatum and the like, and even less fungi. After all, there are only so many wild ones.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it won't be used in a short time."
"This won't work, and that won't work either."
Li Anle sighed. "We can't just rely on growing grain. Our average yield per mu here is less than 300 jins, and only about 500 jins in two seasons a year. It's not as good as the output of hybrid rice in one season."
"Hybrid rice, I've heard people say, is the yield really so high?"
"Our commune has never planted any seeds?"
Li Anle muttered, "I thought we had planted it in our commune, but the effect was not good." Li Anle has always felt that the high yield of hybrid rice has a certain relationship with the popularization of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
"Lishan is too remote. Where can I get such good seeds?"
Han Tianming said, "Currently, hybrid rice seeds are not popular yet. They are only grown on some large and medium-sized farms. It may take several years before we can get the seeds here. It won't be difficult to popularize them in three to five years."
"This is too slow."
Then we have to wait until the reform and opening up, Li Anle muttered, even if there is high-yield food and he can't pay the tuition, he still has it, but it is less, and it is possible to have a full stomach.
"Hybrid rice alone is not enough. There are many hillsides and few paddy fields. So we mainly grow crops such as sorghum and corn."
"Aren't there high-yielding sorghum and corn seeds?"
"High productivity, forget it."
Han Tianming had seen it before, and it was a big boast. If he really looked at it, he was afraid that it was only thirty or fifty kilograms higher than ordinary seeds. The problem is that if others have chemical fertilizers, he can also increase his height by thirty or fifty kilograms, or even more, if he has chemical fertilizers.
No, Li Anle muttered. He remembered that the average amount of corn in later generations was seven to eight hundred catties, unlike today's one or two hundred catties. A harvest of two to three hundred catties would be considered a bumper harvest, and sorghum yields were also extremely low.
"Can corn be used as food rations?"
"That's not the case."
Corn glutinous rice, corn steamed buns, such good rations, Li Anle had some ideas after hearing it. "Planting, I haven't learned much about this. I have to learn more later."
It's better to have a full stomach first and then talk about other things, than to go hungry.
"Uncle Han, I'm going back first."
When Han Tianming saw Li Anle, who seemed to be thinking of something good, he was a little confused. This child, who had a sad face just now, suddenly changed his expression. "Don't think too much about it. Sooner or later, the country will solve this matter."
"I know, Uncle Han."
Then I don’t know how many years I have to wait. Solving the problems of my students by myself, and being self-reliant and having enough food and clothing is the right way.
