Chapter 448 The common people finally get their money back (600.01 million)
"Secretary Cao, please hurry up and tell me. It's hard to sit here and grow old." Some people couldn't wait.
Mainly, the sun is getting higher and higher, and the temperature is getting higher and higher.
The sunshine in May is real, and being basked in the sun is really not a good experience.
"Shujie, tell me." Cao Jianlong took a step back and gave way to the main battlefield.
Cao Shujie was not polite either. He stood forward, holding a microphone in his hand and said, "Good morning to all the folks from Caojiazhuang."
"Today I am here to tell you two things, one is for spending money, and the other is for making money. Which thing do you want to hear first?"
Hearing what Cao Shujie said was very new. Everyone was interested. They straightened their necks and looked at Cao Shujie on the steps in front, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Many people at the scene said: "Director Cao, let's hear about the money first."
"Yes, let's talk about spending money first, and then talk about making money. This way you will feel better."
This sentence made everyone present laugh.
Cao Shujie also laughed.
"Since everyone says so, let me first talk about the things that our Caojiazhuang may have to spend money on next."
"Why do you say it is possible? Because whether we want to spend this money or not, the initiative is in your hands."
The people below were a little confused. They didn't know what Cao Shujie wanted to express. They all looked at Cao Shujie in confusion.
The next moment, they heard Cao Shujie share with everyone present that the Caojiazhuang Village Committee was preparing to install drip irrigation and watering equipment.
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie also gave an example of the integrated watering and drip irrigation equipment installed in his orchard and explained its benefits.
But he also explained the cost of installation.
After hearing Cao Shujie say that the cost of installing drip irrigation and integrated irrigation equipment two years ago was about 5,600 yuan per acre, many fruit farmers present weighed it in their minds.
After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he became quiet. He did not urge the people to make a decision quickly.
After all, this involves spending money.
And for ordinary people in the underground, an investment of more than 5,000 yuan per acre of land is not a small amount of money.
"Director Cao, I would like to ask how this money will be spent?" Fruit farmer Gao Zhongming stood up and asked.
He was one of the people who planted orchards in Caojiazhuang before. Gao Zhongming also knew about the integrated drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation equipment in Cao Shujie's orchard, and he even went to see it.
Knowing that the equipment is really easy to use, the amount and rhythm of watering and fertilizing can be more scientific.
In the long run, this scientific planting method is definitely more beneficial to kiwi fruit trees.
Cao Shujie heard Gao Zhongming's inquiry and explained to him: "Our village committee has unanimously discussed this matter and this is how it was considered."
Cao Shujie said: "All fruit farmers in our village who plant fruit trees will pay fees based on their respective acres."
"That is to say, for example, if I plant 10 acres of fruit trees, if I agree to install it, I will have to pay 56,000 yuan. Director Cao, is that what you mean?" Gao Zhongming did the math.
Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, Gao Zhongming said thank you to him and then sat down.
He did not directly state whether to install it or not.
After Gao Zhongming and Cao Shujie's questions and answers, everyone else present also understood instantly.
To be honest, most people feel that this amount of money is not a small amount.
Last year, they bought fruit saplings, planted fruit trees, installed cement pillars to build well-shaped trellises, watered the ground, fertilized, etc. A lot of money was invested in this series of measures, and many families even invested in loans.
Now we have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to install integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment, which is really unbearable for most new fruit farmers present.
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Jiankang stood up and asked: "Director Cao, if we don't install this equipment first and continue to use the current watering method, do you think it's okay?"
"No problem. As I said just now, it's up to you to install or not install this equipment."
"Even if we don't install integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment, there will be no problem if we continue to water and fertilize in the current way." Cao Shujie said.
Hearing Cao Shujie say this, many people below were obviously relieved.
Cao Shujie turned her head and glanced at Cao Jianlong, Cao Zhengcun, Gao Changyin and Lu Ping behind them, and then shook her head at the four people in an incomprehensible manner. The meaning was obvious, and she would not discuss the plan of installing sprinkler irrigation and irrigation integrated equipment for the time being.
.
He continued: "Folks, we have already finished discussing the matter of spending money. Let's not consider this matter for now. Next, let's talk about making money."
When Cao Shujie talked about making money, everyone present was curious, how do you make money?
"Director Cao, please speak quickly." Someone shouted from below.
Cao Shujie laughed, and the laughter came from the loudspeaker through the microphone, and most of the people in Caojiazhuang heard it.
"Folks, I would like to ask the grass growers in our village whether the alfalfa grass in your crop fields has bloomed?" Cao Shujie asked.
There were many alfalfa farmers in the audience. When they heard Cao Shujie mention this, they seemed to realize something, and then they heard Cao Shujie say: "Folks, starting from today, I will buy dried alfalfa at a price of 1,200 yuan per ton."
I’ll take whatever you sell for alfalfa.”
"Second point, the state has relevant regulations. For every acre of alfalfa grass planted, there is a subsidy of 600 yuan. We will come to register for this later, and the village committee will apply for the subsidy for everyone. Is that okay?"
After hearing what Cao Shujie said, all the alfalfa farmers present couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
Compared to just now where fruit farmers were asked to spend money to install integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment, this news is definitely the best.
Starting last year, Cao Shujie became the village director of Caojiazhuang and led everyone to develop three projects.
One of the projects is the unified planting of kiwi fruit trees.
The second project is cattle raising.
The third most reliable project is to plant pasture.
Cao Shujie initially analyzed the pros and cons of these three projects. Among them, planting forage is the fastest to see benefits, but it is also the least profitable of the three projects.
The next best thing is raising cattle.
The next step is to plant kiwi fruit trees.
Many people also remember when Cao Shujie told them that the profits from growing alfalfa were higher than those from growing wheat or corn.
Until the pasture yields a harvest, they are dubious about this statement.
But when they heard Cao Shujie personally tell them that he purchased unlimited amounts of alfalfa dry grass, the people who grew alfalfa all believed it.
The most people present planted more than ten acres of alfalfa. According to the calculation Cao Shujie just gave them, the net income from alfalfa in these more than 10 acres of land was more than 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, after alfalfa is planted, it can theoretically be harvested for 8 years. The seeds do not need to be repurchased. The subsequent annual investment costs will become smaller and smaller, which also means that its profits will become higher and higher.
Thinking of the net profit income of more than 10,000 yuan every year, the people who grow alfalfa are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
But it wasn't over yet. Cao Shujie on the steps took the microphone and told them: "Folks, you need to understand one more thing. According to my observation, the price of alfalfa dry grass has been rising step by step in the market in recent years.
Yes, it is very likely that in a few years, its price per ton will exceed 1,500 yuan or 2,000 yuan. By then, your income will be getting higher and higher. Do you understand this?"
The people in the audience shouted in unison: "Understood!"
They really understand.
If what Director Cao said just now comes true, one day in the future, their profits from just growing alfalfa may double. This means that they can earn two to three thousand yuan a year from one acre of alfalfa, and even more in the future.
many.
Many villagers thought that there could be no better project than this one.
Because there are many people raising cattle in the village, and the largest among them is Cao Shujie.
There is no need to worry about selling the alfalfa dry grass that is grown.
Now Cao Shujie is publicly purchasing alfalfa dry grass at market prices, which makes the people who grow grass feel more confident.
Now you can earn more money from the same acre of land than you could earn from growing corn or wheat.
There were many people present who neither planted fruit trees, raised cattle, nor chose to grow pasture. They still grew corn, wheat and other traditional crops as before.
But when they heard that Cao Shujie was publicly purchasing alfalfa hay, and that Cao Shujie had calculated the net profit of the grass for everyone, the remaining common people were unsettled.
Someone stood up and shouted: "Director Cao, if I plant grass now, will you still harvest it?"
"Harvest, as long as you dare to plant, I will dare to harvest." This is what Cao Shujie said.
He tried his best to give the people present confidence.
The remaining people who were already shaken, after hearing Cao Shujie's promise, did not hesitate and started to sign up on the spot.
Cao Jianlong, Gao Changyin, Cao Zhengcun and Lu Ping standing behind Cao Shujie were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
None of them expected that Cao Shujie's public talk about the benefits of alfalfa would have such an effect.
"Then if those who raise cattle will have a harvest by the end of the year, and those who plant kiwi fruit trees will have a harvest in two or three years, will other people follow suit and plant kiwi fruit trees?"
"The publicity at the beginning was not enough, otherwise the current problems would not have arisen." Cao Jianlong told Cao Zhengcun and the other three.
Cao Zhengcun said: "Secretary Jianlong, I think the main reason for this matter is that this wave of people who grow forage will get money. If not, I don't think others will grow it."
This is the truth.
Although it sounds ugly, to use a word, it is called "eyes open at the sight of money." Money is the best driving force.
"No matter what they think, as long as they are willing to plant, we will help them to the end. If the people have money, our village will develop better in the future, don't you think so?" Cao Jianlong asked the big guys.
