After the National Day, I haven’t waited for Li Fu to come back.
The two things that Hong Yanwu experienced personally were enough to prove that Hong Lucheng's vision was accurate and that what the old man expected was happening.
The first and most obvious thing is that many cotton players have appeared in the capital unknowingly.
Most of these people are farmers from the Northeast.
They spotted the market where people in the capital needed elastic quilt covers before the cold winter, and wandered around the alleys.
As expected, not only was there more work than I could handle.
When they are thirsty or tired, it is convenient for them to go into the courtyard and find a bowl of water to drink.
As a result, the scene of " sandalwood hammers, fir tips, golden roosters crow, and snowflakes falling" began to appear in the old alleys of the capital.
"Thump"..."tap-tap-tap"..."thump"...
Such recurring string music has become a daily accompaniment of life in the capital.
Secondly, Zhaoqing made a special call to Hong Yanwu, wanting to talk to him about the new situation around him.
Fortunately, this year Longkou Village ushered in a bumper harvest for the first time because of the fertilizers and pesticides.
Not only was it self-sufficient, but I finally had two trucks of surplus grain to sell.
Unexpectedly, what happened next was like Ye Shengtao's short story "An Overcharge of Three or Five Dou".
An Yangyang and An Yueliang drove the truck happily to the countryside, hauling grain.
However, I found that the grain collection department had suspended grain collection because the grain warehouse was full.
People who came to sell grain from various villages were blocking the entrance of the township government, asking for an explanation.
The two brothers were at their wits end and quickly called the village to report.
Secretary An and Zhao Qing worked together to call everyone back in order not to cause trouble to the village.
Two days later, Secretary An and Zhaoqing heard that the grain harvest incident was getting louder and louder.
I simply called the township government and asked them if they could digest this batch of grain internally.
As a result, such a statement was not only praised by the township leaders, but also quickly attracted a phone call from the county secretary Lin.
It can be said that the situation is stronger than the people. After this phone call, Secretary Lin changed his tone.
Although he praised Longkou Village and marveled at their agricultural achievements, he no longer insisted on being agriculture-oriented.
Instead, he asked how Longkou Village planned to deal with the accumulated grain.
Are there any practical difficulties that will cause disappointment and dissatisfaction among farmers?
When Zhaoqing heard this, he understood that it was probably because the whole county was facing this kind of problem, and Secretary Lin was worried that something might happen to the advanced model he had personally captured, so he came to take care of it.
So in order to repay Secretary Lin for his continued support and help, I replied very frankly.
He said that because Longkou Village still retains the collective agricultural system and does not sell grain, no one in the village will have any objections.
As for the digestion method, there is a handicraft factory in Longkou Village and they are not short of money, so they want to open a pot to make local wine for drinking.
He also suggested that the county open a winery to solve the problem of grain collection.
Don't tell me, this is a good idea.
This reminded Secretary Lin and relieved his worries.
Even if it is done well, there may be multiple income-generating projects.
On the phone, Secretary Lin laughed heartily on the spot.
Then within two days, good things happened.
With the efforts of the township government, Secretary Lin overcame all objections.
The county finally officially approved the long-awaited request for instructions submitted by Longkou through the township.
It not only agreed that "Longkou Village" should establish a tourism service company, but also allowed them to set up sales points and catering service points in the "Shihua Cave" scenic spot after it opened.
The "Longkou Village Handicraft Factory" was also designated as the designated manufacturer to produce special tourist handicrafts for "Shihua Cave".
This is probably the reward given by Secretary Lin and the township government to Longkou Village.
However, there is definitely no free lunch in the world, so accordingly, the handicraft factory will be given more money.
The county and township also have a corresponding request, that is, they hope Zhaoqing can help resolve the surplus labor in several nearby villages.
Zhaoqing could not refuse, so he could only agree.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, more than a hundred people were arranged for me.
Thanks to Zhaoqing's foresight in advance, he declared from the beginning that handicrafts or technical work required training, and only young people could be accepted.
Otherwise, it would be even more unbearable if men, women, old and children were brought in.
But this is still enough for Zhaoqing to worry about, not to mention the increased financial burden of raising so many idle people at once.
Teaching them skills also requires manpower, which really delays production and income generation.
Later he thought about it, didn't Hong Yanwu register an ancient construction company in his name?
So I called Hong Yanwu to ask if he needed anyone there, hoping he could help me share some of the burden.
According to his opinion, these people are not completely without foundation when it comes to construction.
Even in rural areas, tiled houses can be built, and at least the work of drying sand, mixing mud, and laying bricks is possible.
What's more, many of these people also know how to do masonry work, so they have some involvement in it, right?
After wandering around for a long time, Zhaoqing came to the end and realized that he still had something to ask for.
Hong Yanwu understood this and couldn't help laughing immediately.
"Cousin, you are thoughtful enough. You are marrying your wife to treat a guest, but you want me to pay for things for you. However, I have to say that you are indeed lucky. This phone call is really well-earned.
It's better to have come sooner than later."
"I'll tell you the truth. On National Day, our old man just announced to his family that he is going to open a tavern. It just so happens that your village is going to open a kettle. How appropriate. How about you buy more food and brew more and drink it yourself?
If not, just bring it over and we will sell it for you."
"In addition, my ancient construction company is indeed recruiting people. Food and accommodation are included, and the salary is twice as high as that of state-owned units. I dare not say if there are more people at the moment, I can still take on fifty or sixty people.
.The only conditions are young people who are hard-working and love to learn crafts, preferably those who are determined to settle down in the city."
"Also, the next project that the ancient construction company plans to do is to repair the small stone building in the backyard of our old house. And immediately after that is your 'Half Acre Garden'. There is a lot of stone work in these two places.
, it would be a good thing if the people there have the foundation of masonry, if you think so, you'd better arrange more for me."
Such an answer was far beyond Zhaoqing's expectations, and he was certainly overjoyed.
He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, it was like an arrangement made in heaven.
So he was also happy, and his response was more interesting.
"This is a great love. But Xiao Wu, don't just talk about me. Isn't this your blessing? Aren't you beautiful? What is this called? This makes you want to sleep. I brought you a pillow.
.This is called calculation rather than good luck. Let’s make one good person and two good people, and it’s better to make two brothers better.”
Hey, that’s right! Isn’t this good for two brothers?
All of a sudden, both of them were happy on the phone.
But to be honest, compared with the overall environment, this change in the capital is still nothing.
Because across the country, more migrant farmers have made the choice to flock to Shenzhen.
The numerous foreign-owned factories here have created a huge employment gap.
But they couldn't recruit those registered residents in the system, so they could only hire migrant workers.
As a result, Shenzhen has become a real mecca for working.
Compared with the mainland, the SAR has iconic features.
The people who work on the assembly line in the factory here do not get the traditional title of "workers".
Instead, they are collectively referred to as "working men" and "working girls".
In addition, traditional labor values have also been subverted.
A man who is as strong as an ox is far less popular than a woman who is as careful as hair.
At the same time, the high intensity and high efficiency these women have to endure are unprecedented.
Even if they even go to the toilet, they have to count on seconds.
There is no doubt that from this time onwards, huge population flows and migrations began to occur consciously.
The city is no longer a restricted area for farmers and has opened a crack for them.
Our country has always implemented a dual urban-rural household registration system. It has moved from a "red light district" that resolutely excluded farmers to a "yellow light district" that allows farmers to bring their own food into the city.
Of course, not everyone cherishes such opportunities and knows how to seize the opportunities of the times to change their destiny.
For example, Li Fu encountered something ridiculous in his hometown in Raoyang, Hebei.
After he returned to Lijiacun, he must have told his family about the employment of the Hong family first.
I hope my grandchildren can follow him to the capital.
But his grandson, Li Zhu, who was already twenty years old, couldn't say anything.
Li Fu was particularly puzzled and asked why.
They say that the food and accommodation there are good, you can make money, and you can see the world and learn things. Why is it not better than farming at home?
But when the question was pressed, Li Zhu's face turned red and he could only say one sentence.
"Sir, why...why do you ask me to serve people in the capital? We are men, and we have nothing to do with serving people. Besides, it's time for dad to marry me..."
Yes, this sentence made Li Fu choke and swallow his saliva.
On the other hand, the eighteen-year-old grandson Fang Bingsheng was quite sensible, and it didn't take long for him to figure it out.
"Grandpa, take me there. I will definitely be obedient, study hard, and work hard..."
