Chapter 447 This is a harvest season (300.01 million)
Cao Shujie found it troublesome, so he could give specific methods, but if he were to do the rest of the work, he wouldn't even think about it.
Cao Jianlong pointed at him and said: "You are the youngest among us, and you still have to leave these jobs to us old guys."
This was too much of a criticism, and Cao Shujie simply refused to answer.
Seeing him like this, Cao Jianlong couldn't do anything to him: "Okay, okay, whoever wants me to eat more than 20 years more than you, just let me work hard again."
Cao Shujie smiled and said nothing.
"Shujie, besides what you just said, is there anything else?" Cao Zhengcun asked him.
Cao Shujie nodded, and then went through all the other suggestions given to him by Adilijiang and others.
In Cao Shujie's words, a lot of money will be invested to install large-scale drip irrigation and watering equipment in Caojiazhuang.
After listening to what he said, Cao Jianlong said: "Shujie, if I do what you said, it will cost a lot of money."
“Where does this money come from?”
Without thinking, Cao Shujie said directly: "This is for the development of all orchards. The purpose of installing equipment is also to carry out more reasonable and accurate watering and fertilization. This money can be allocated to each household according to the number of acres of orchards."
."
But Cao Shujie also knew that not every family was willing to pay this money. He then said: "We can do a survey first and tell everyone the benefits of watering and drip irrigation, and also tell everyone the costs. If everyone can
If you don’t agree with the installation, then forget it, it’s just going to be tiring for everyone to do it manually.”
"How much does it cost?" Cao Jianlong asked.
Cao Shujie thought about the expenses in his orchard at that time, and then said: "For example, in the first phase of my orchard, I installed sprinkler irrigation equipment on 57 acres. The total cost was more than 200,000."
"Later on, based on the sprinkler irrigation equipment, I transformed the sprinkler irrigation system into one. The average cost per mu of orchard is 2,000 yuan. Overall, it costs more than 5,600 yuan per mu of land."
At this point, Cao Shujie emphasized: "These are the prices two years ago. You can use this to calculate the approximate cost now."
"Uncle Long, I think this is the first step. Let's gather all the villagers who grow fruit trees and introduce the situation to them. It depends on everyone's opinion whether to install integrated drip irrigation equipment or not." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jianlong agreed.
He said to Gao Changyin: "Accountant Gao, write this down and make an expense budget later."
At this point, Cao Jianlong turned to Cao Shujie and asked, "Shujie, who did you look for to make the equipment? Do you have any contact information?"
"Yes, I am looking for someone who specializes in this field in Pingyuan County. If I am sure to find him, I will definitely ask him to give me the best price." Cao Shujie said.
He grabbed his cell phone and gave Cao Jianlong the numbers of Xia Changhong and Chen Lei.
And told them that one of the two people specializes in sprinkler irrigation equipment, and the other person specializes in integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment.
"Manager Chen is directly operated by the factory, so the overall cost is relatively cheaper," Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jianlong and the others recorded all these details one by one, thinking to contact them later to ask.
"Is there anything else?" Cao Jianlong asked Cao Shujie.
I rarely have time to sit down and discuss the most beneficial methods for the economic development of Caojiazhuang like today.
Naturally, Cao Jianlong would not let this time go.
Cao Shujie talked a lot, but none of it was as important as what he just said.
He also told Cao Jianlong that he was going to purchase forage.
After May, the pastures planted before have reached the harvest season, and Cao Shujie plans to harvest them according to the local market price.
The only advantage is that it can save logistics costs.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Jianlong and others had smiles on their faces.
This is the best news they have heard this year.
As for Cao Shujie, the reason why he prompted them to purchase alfalfa forage at this time was mainly because after May, it happened to be the first flowering period of alfalfa. At this time, alfalfa has the highest nutritional value and is also the most abundant.
When quality is at its best.
"Shujie, how are you going to accept it?"
"Hay is 1,200 a ton, which is the market price." Cao Shujie was not polite, nor was he pretentious, nor did he pay more just because someone from the same village grew it.
There is no need for that, just measure everything according to market price.
As for whether the villagers sell to him or other hay buyers, this is the villagers' freedom.
Fresh alfalfa is not suitable. If cows eat it, it will easily cause flatulence, which is very troublesome.
Cao Jianlong and the others had obviously inquired about it, and they all agreed with the price. They even felt that the price offered by Cao Shujie was a bit higher.
They have abundant water resources and good grass growth. According to the budget, one acre of alfalfa can produce 1,600 kilograms of hay.
In other words, one acre of land can produce 960 yuan.
Excluding the investment in buying seeds and a small amount of fertilizer, the net profit is more than 700 yuan.
In addition, for planting alfalfa, you can also receive a national subsidy of 600 yuan per mu of land. Calculated, the income per mu of land is about 1,300 yuan.
It is worth noting that this income is pure profit.
After deducting the cost, the output of one acre of wheat or corn is actually only a few hundred yuan.
For example, some families who grow pasture in Caojiazhuang have an average of about six acres of land, and their net income this year is more than 8,000 yuan.
In addition, this is not all. Alfalfa can grow continuously, and its growth cycle is about 8 years. The investment during this period is actually very small. For farmers, the income from alfalfa is much higher than that from corn and wheat.
Coupled with the money they earn from doing odd jobs in the village, this income is very considerable in today's rural areas.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Jianlong and the others nodded with satisfaction. Cao Shujie was very honest on this point and did not deliberately suppress the purchase price of alfalfa.
"Shujie, all the people in Caojiazhuang owe you a favor." Cao Jianlong stood up, cupped his hands and raised his hands to Cao Shujie, wanting to thank him.
Cao Shujie's quick eyesight and hands quickly blocked him: "Uncle Long, I don't dare accept this great gift from you."
"Don't look at the benefits that ordinary people get, but I also get benefits." Cao Shujie said: "At least I save logistics costs. When you dilute it into every kilogram, I can save a few cents."
Several people didn't listen to him.
Isn’t a few cents nonsense to Cao Shujie?
Cao Jianlong said to Gao Changyin: "Accountant Gao, call the farm restaurant and ask them to deliver 200 yuan worth of food. We can eat it in the office."
"Okay, I'll make a call right now." Gao Changyin went to the side and made a call.
Cao Jianlong also said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, you have to have a drink at noon today."
Cao Shujie did not refuse: "Uncle Long, if I don't say more, I'll toast you first."
…
The loudspeaker above the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound sounded again after more than a month.
Cao Shujie's voice came from the loudspeaker.
He informed the whole village to hold a meeting in the village committee compound tomorrow morning. At this time, he did not distinguish between the fruit farmers who grew fruit trees and the farmers who grew pasture. Instead, he announced the news to the whole village.
It also lets everyone know that growing trees and grass can make money, and growing fruit trees also requires investment.
He shouted the same thing three times in a row.
The people in Caojiazhuang didn't know what Cao Shujie wanted to do when he summoned them this time. Everyone made guesses, but there was no gossip at all.
They can only wait patiently.
Time passed unconsciously.
At noon, Cao Shujie and the others drank and ate at the village committee office.
Cao Jianlong and the other four took turns drinking with Cao Shujie. After Cao Shujie drank one drink, he refused to drink another drink.
Cao Jianlong and the others didn't force him.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
It was only around 7 o'clock in the morning on the second day. After finishing their meal, the villagers in Caojiazhuang rushed to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound with mats or small chairs.
After arriving here, they quietly looked at the village committee office that had not yet opened, wondering what news they would hear later.
When Cao Shujie came over, he was surprised to see at least 200 people already sitting in the village committee yard. These folks came too early.
"Oh, Director Cao is here."
"Good morning, Director Cao!"
"Director Cao, what do you want to tell us today?"
"I guess there must be something big announced."
Many people were asking questions below, which seemed very lively.
Cao Shujie looked at everyone's enthusiasm and waved to everyone: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Let's wait until everyone comes over and I will tell everyone."
"I can guarantee it's definitely a good thing." Cao Shujie said.
When the others heard Cao Shujie's assurance, the smiles on their faces never disappeared.
Director Cao said it is a good thing, so it must be a good thing.
Just forget what other leaders said.
In the following time, people came one after another, and more and more people sat down in the courtyard. Cao Shujie was waiting in the office, and Cao Jianlong and the other four rushed over one after another.
Seeing so many people in the compound, they felt a little ashamed.
"Why are you guys here so early?" Cao Jianlong asked him.
Who knew that the common people didn't buy it and said, "Secretary Cao, you can't do it. At such an old age, you can't get up in the morning. You're not even as good as me, an old man in his 70s."
Cao Jianlong: "..."
He felt very depressed. Is this considered a lie?
"Shujie, what's going on outside?"
When Cao Jianlong entered the office and saw that Cao Shujie had arrived, he asked.
Cao Shujie spread his hands and shrugged: "Uncle Long, to be honest, I don't know. There were already about 200 people here when I came over."
"So, everyone is very anxious." Cao Zhengcun somewhat understood the mentality of the folks outside.
"Let's go, let's go to the meeting quickly, don't keep everyone waiting," Cao Jianlong said.
Several people walked out together.
Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong each grabbed a microphone in their hands. Cao Jianlong took a step forward and said: "Everyone, after repeated research by our village committee, we now have two things to tell you and listen to your opinions.
