A month later, the total harvest of Yanchang County came out.
Because of the complete water conservancy and irrigation system and the vigorous promotion of the use of self-made fertilizers before spring plowing, the county's average yield per mu has reached an astonishing two hundred and thirty pounds.
You know, when Ouyang Antong came to be the county magistrate in Yanchang County, at least in his best years, the average yield per mu in Yanchang County was only 180 kilograms.
After Ouyang Antong became the county magistrate, the average yield per mu directly increased by 50 kilograms. Calculated based on the county's 30,000 acres of land, Yanchang County directly increased its production by 1.5 million kilograms of grain.
Of course, this does not include the 10,000 acres of additional fertile land in Yanchang County before the start of spring plowing. Adding the harvest from these lands, Yanchang County directly increased its production by 4 million catties.
This means that Yanchang County does not need relief from the border district government this year, and there will still be some surplus food.
"County Magistrate, this is the final result compiled by all villages and towns. The county's grain output this year has exceeded 10 million kilograms!" Lao Yang reported with excitement on his face.
Yanchang County has always been the poorest county in the Border District. Lao Yang believes that after the results are reported this year, Yanchang County will not only take off the title of the poorest county in the Border District, but will even be ranked as the poorest county in the Border District in terms of per capita income.
Discover the top few of more than a dozen counties.
"That's right! This year we in Yanchang County finally don't have to eat the food relief from the border district government..." Ouyang Antong replied with a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lao Yang slowly showed a hesitant expression on his face, and then said with a heartbroken expression.
"The output has indeed increased, but it is still a bit heartbreaking to know that 400,000 kilograms of these grains will soon be taken away by the cooperative, which is almost a year's ration for 1,500 people!"
"Lao Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it. Hesitation is not your character!" Ouyang Antong asked immediately after hearing something in Lao Yang's words.
"Okay, County Magistrate, let me tell you. As far as I know, half of the shares in this cooperative belong to your father. Do you think it is possible to reduce or reduce the rent? Taking away 400,000 kilograms of grain at one time is too much...
No, I owe these 400,000 kilograms of grain now, and I can pay him back next year after the harvest is better!" Lao Yang answered directly without hesitation.
Ouyang Antong hesitated.
As the head of Yanchang County, she wants to keep 400,000 kilograms of grain in Yanchang County more than anyone else!
A total of nearly 400,000 yuan in food, if converted into oceans, it would be 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. For a poor county like Yanchang, 8,000 yuan can do a lot!
However, as Wang Ping's wife, Ouyang Antong is very aware of the cooperative's situation.
Rather than saying that half of the shares in the cooperative belong to his father, it is better to say that it belongs directly to his husband. Four hundred thousand kilograms of grain, such a large amount of property, is definitely beyond his control.
After hesitating for a long time, he replied: "This matter is too big. I need to discuss it with my father. In addition, half of the cooperative's shares belong to the Ministry of Economic Affairs. This also requires the approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. I need to apply to the above!"
When he got home in the evening, before he had time to eat, Ouyang Antong told Lao Yang's request in the office.
"No!" Wang Ping refused without hesitation!
"For those people who rent cattle for farming, the yield per mu of each household is more than 250 kilograms. And each of their households has planted several acres of land this year. Take Old Man Zhou from Zhoujiazhuang, for example.
The family's grain output this year exceeds 2,800 kilograms. Taking out 200 kilograms of grain will not have any impact on the Zhou family. And I also believe that when the people see the real increase in income, they will not hesitate to pay the rent.
Hand it over!"
Seeing Ouyang Antong frowning and not speaking, Wang Ping added immediately.
"An Tong, do you think I'm too stingy?"
"Let me tell you, in my opinion, if I do this, not only will it not increase the burden on the people, but it will only bring benefits and no harm to the entire Yanchang County!"
There was finally movement on Ouyang Antong's face, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why didn't I see the benefits?"
"Then let me analyze it for you!" Wang Ping answered confidently.
"All the people in Yanchang County who have rented cattle should have increased their income and production this year, right?"
"Yes!" Ouyang Antong answered with certainty.
"What I know best is the Zhou family we met in Zhoujiazhuang. As far as I know, the Zhou family's grain output last year was about 1,150 kilograms. When they go out to grow grain, the per capita grain is not even 200 kilograms. If it weren't for
The grain relief grain allocated by the border region government will definitely not last for the autumn harvest!"
"This year the Zhou family's grain output is 2,800 kilograms, which has more than doubled!"
"On average, how much will the average income of all people who rent cattle increase their grain output?" Wang Ping asked, staring at An Tong.
"It's definitely double that!" Ouyang Antong answered with certainty!
"That's right!" Wang Ping suddenly interrupted.
"The grain output of the rented cattle has doubled this year. For the people who did not rent the cattle, although the output has increased, it can only ensure that the whole family will not go hungry for a year!"
"During spring plowing next year, those people who have rented cattle will definitely continue to rent cattle and cultivate more land!"
"Those ordinary people who have never borrowed cattle must be very jealous now. During the spring plowing next year, they will definitely rent cattle from the cooperative to cultivate more land!"
"That's for sure!" Ouyang Antong answered with certainty.
"My idea is to increase the amount of land cultivated in Yanchang County to 60,000 acres next year, and the average yield per mu will reach 250 kilograms!"
Wang Ping said: "There is no problem in increasing the average yield per mu to 250 kilograms!"
"Time is tight this year, so we didn't make much fertilizer. It will be different next year. We have enough time to make fertilizer and increase the base fertilizer of the land. As the fertility of the land increases, the output will definitely increase."
"But it would be very difficult to increase the cultivated area to 60,000 acres!"
"One cattle can cultivate up to 150 acres of land during spring plowing. If Yanchang County cultivates 60,000 acres of land, it will require at least 400 cattle. However, the cooperative now only has 200 cattle, and it has to be allocated to several
It’s definitely not enough for one county.”
"So, I need the rent paid by everyone to buy more cattle. If possible, I will persuade Minister Li to continue to invest 10,000 yuan in the cooperative, and we will also invest another 10,000 yuan to increase the number of cattle to 1
Thousand heads..."
Ouyang Antong replied with a look of realization: "I understand!"
"Tomorrow I will reject Lao Yang and tell him the reason. He is an old revolutionary, so he should understand!"
Wang Ping hesitated and decided: "I can't compromise on the rent for the cattle, but I can make the decision on the one thousand sheep that the cooperative will distribute to Yanchang County after spring plowing!"
"According to the original agreement, in a few months, we will collect the goats that have been divided, leaving at most a thousand lambs. The extra goats and lambs will be distributed to other areas to allow more people in the border area to
income!"
"Now I make the decision to keep all the goats and lambs in Yanchang County and not give out any of them. In this case, next year's spring plowing, the entire Yanchang County can have at least 2,000 goats and lambs, so that more people can raise sheep.
This can also be regarded as a support from the cooperative to the people of Yanchang County!"
