School started on March 1st, and both Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping went back to school, leaving only Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui at home.
The brothers and sisters are not at home, and there is no one to lead them to play.
The weather is not that warm yet, so the two children cannot go out to run around, so they can only be naughty at home.
Fortunately, there are still scoundrels, so these two little guys are not too lonely.
Su Anfang was about to get married, so Su Anying asked her to do more needlework at home, at least two sets of new clothes for herself and two sets for Li Zongliang.
In addition, door curtains, curtains, curtains, pillowcases and other items must also be prepared.
All the ginseng work and shed work were outsourced. Su Anying still took turns taking care of the breeding farm and the Clivia at home with Huang Shengli's wife and others.
On March 13, Fusong held the 1983 Advanced Collective and Advanced Producer Congress.
Thirteen advanced collectives, 24 model workers, and more than 1,000 advanced workers were selected.
Yishenchang has been rated as an advanced collective for many consecutive years, and Xu Shiyan has also been selected as an advanced worker and a pacesetter in science and technology in the industry.
In view of the fact that Xu Shiyan made some remarks at the conference last year that caused many people to object, this time, the county leaders did not allow Xu Shiyan to speak again.
"Xiao Xu, don't be discouraged. This is a kind of protection from your boss.
You are now the vanguard of our Fusong ginseng industry, and your contribution is huge.
But there is a saying you have to understand: a big tree attracts the wind, and now countless people are staring at you, trying to find something wrong with you.
Therefore, after some discussions, we decided not to let you speak on stage today.
You must understand our painstaking efforts and don’t have any ideas.”
Xu Shiyan said at the conference last year that the excessive development of the Fusong ginseng industry must be controlled, especially by controlling some enterprises and institutions from blindly investing in the ginseng industry.
These remarks offended many people. Several leaders in the county made this decision because they wanted to protect Xu Shiyan.
"Secretary Guan, don't worry, I won't have any ideas.
However, I still say that if the county does not introduce measures in time, those enterprises and institutions will be allowed to invest in the ginseng industry at will.
All I can say is that our county’s ginseng economy will soon encounter a crisis.”
Xu Shiyan has no obsession with people who speak up and don't speak up. He just wants to remind these people not to be fooled by the prosperity in front of them.
The more crazy these units throw in now, the more severe the situation will collapse in the future.
It has never been the responsibility of ordinary ginseng farmers to control the excessive growth of ginseng planting area.
How capable are ordinary people? Each household can plant thirty or forty feet of ginseng a year, which is already very impressive.
After three years, I can sell ginseng for a lot of money and live a pretty good life.
These people don't have much ambition. Even if they develop ginseng, they do what they can and develop slowly.
From a few dozen feet a year, it will develop to a hundred feet at most, which I think is very beautiful.
The most serious ones are those units.
They took public money, invested heavily in the ginseng industry, cooperated with the forestry department, and acquired tens of thousands of feet of ginseng soil in one go.
When the price of ginseng drops, these people are also selling it at all costs in order to stop losses in time.
Xu Shiyan experienced it in his previous life.
In 1994, Funan Forest Farm sold ginseng seeds for sale. One foot of ginseng seeds only cost about ten yuan, which was really only a few yuan more expensive than ginseng soil.
The employees of the Funan Forest Farm scolded it and said it was a prodigal. The forest farm invested a lot of money in the beginning, but in the end it lost everything.
If those unit investments fail, the public will bear the responsibility, and the losses will not fall on individuals.
In the end, the only victims are the ginseng farmers who grow ginseng honestly and make money by selling ginseng.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, I understand what you said, but in this current situation, you and I can't stop the trend with just a few words." Secretary Guan sighed.
Since Xu Shiyan put forward this suggestion last year, Secretary Guan has thought about it from time to time and discussed it with some people, believing that it is indeed possible.
But some things cannot be done once you know them. After all, what Xu Shiyan predicted has not happened yet.
If only because of Xu Shiyan's words, the county issued an order strictly prohibiting all enterprises and institutions from developing the tertiary industry and not allowing them to plant ginseng.
It will cause public outrage, and the county cannot afford such consequences.
In this regard, Xu Shiyan couldn't say anything else. Anyway, he had done everything he could, and he couldn't stop those people who wanted to die.
The conference lasted for three days and ended on March 16th.
As soon as the conference here ended, Lin Qiyue led Xu Shiyan to another conference.
On March 17, the second annual meeting of Fusong Ginseng Society was held in Fusong.
The annual meeting elected a new chairman, vice-chairman, secretary-general, directors, and members.
Lin Qiyue, Secretary of the First Ginseng Farm, was elected as the Vice Chairman of the Ginseng Society, and Xu Shiyan, Technical Advisor of the First Ginseng Farm, was elected as a director of the Society.
At the same time, the annual meeting will review a batch of papers submitted last year, and select two first prizes, five second prizes, and two third prizes.
During the award evaluation process, a small accident occurred.
The scientific and technological content and literary talent of the two papers submitted by Lin Qiyue for Xu Shiyan far exceeded other papers, so there was no problem in being selected as the first prize.
But for Xu Shiyan, two first prizes were awarded to his articles, which many people find unreasonable.
You have to give others a chance. You can't say that all the benefits are taken by one person.
Lin Qiyue has a different view on this.
"I think this is normal. Our Ginseng Society is a place for research and learning, not based on seniority.
Why, there are real articles, but just because someone wrote two articles, they can’t both be awarded? What’s the point of this?
Are you afraid that others will feel uncomfortable? If that's the case, just give these articles all the first prizes.
Sitting in rows and sharing fruits, everyone has a share and no one has an opinion, so what else do we need to learn from ginseng? Is it a good-looking decoration? "
Lin Qiyue said this, making those who objected speechless.
In the end, Xu Shiyan's article won the support of the majority of people, and both articles were awarded first prize.
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Xu Shiyan took the stage to receive the award and delivered an acceptance speech at the same time.
We held meetings for several days in succession, and although there were some hiccups along the way, the results were still very good.
Xu Shiyan went home with honors and achievements. Xu Chenghou looked at the certificates and awards his son had brought back. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and his eyes narrowed to a slit.
"The third son of our family has to be promising. Look, all those hanging on the wall are your awards and certificates. They are so nice and make you feel happy just to look at them.
My son is promising, so why else can he be a director? What does this director do? What on earth does he manage?"
While Xu Chenghou was happy, he was also a little curious. What kind of things did the director do?
Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard this, "Dad, director is just a name. Anyway, he is a little higher than ordinary society members.
I don’t care about anything myself, I mainly make some suggestions to the Ginseng Society and the development of the local ginseng industry.
Just like this award review, when the annual meeting is held next year for the awards review, I can be a reviewer and score other people's articles."
The Ginseng Society is not a functional department. Those who serve in the Society all have other jobs.
Like the current chairman, he is the deputy county in charge of the ginseng industry and specialties. Like Lin Qiyue, he is the director and secretary of a ginseng farm, the top leader.
The society is just a name and has no real power, but it can offer advice and make reasonable suggestions for the development of the Fusong ginseng industry.
