The Nanyao brigade was assigned a production contract, and the pressure from the city and the province made Wei Da uncomfortable. However, the brick and tile factory, a collective enterprise, was blameless.
At that moment, he asked: "Where is the brick and tile factory?"
"It's at the foot of the mountain, a few hundred steps away and only a few minutes away." Yan Dongming answered respectfully.
"Where's the pig farm?"
"Just by the river, a few steps away."
"Then go to the pig farm first." Wei Da waved his hand.
So, a group of people went to the pig farm one after another. Although it was said to be a farm, it was actually not very big, covering an area of only more than 100 square meters.
The pig farm was built by the river, and the smell was not very good. The closer you got, the worse it became. However, the cadres present were all very simple. Even Weda, the first brother in the county, turned a blind eye to the smell.
, go directly inside.
A thatched house twenty meters long and six meters wide stands on the bank of the river.
Wei Da glanced at the pig pen, didn't care, looked around again, and went directly into the thatched house. Seeing this, the others followed him.
Standing outside the fence, he looked at the pigs inside one by one.
The pig pens are not small, with six in the east and six in the west. One is more than three meters wide and three meters long. There are two quite small pigs crowded inside, and they are grunting and eating.
"Isn't he small?" Wei Da said suddenly.
Yan Dongming, who was explaining, paused and replied: "It's okay, it's quite edible. One production team is responsible for both ends, with forty people, which is more than enough. In addition to grains, the weeds in the field are also consumed, and they are sold in winter."
Money, next year we plan to expand the scale. With the breeding experience, we will directly quadruple the number and raise 60 heads."
Wei Da couldn't help but snorted: "It's a good thing to have such ambitions, but you have to eat one bite at a time."
Yan Dongming smiled, did not refute, and responded: "Yes, we will definitely implement the secretary's instructions, proceed steadily, and never make any rash advances."
The people next to me also laughed when they heard this.
Wei Da glanced at Yan Dongming and asked: "I have raised this pig for more than three months. Has any of these pigs died?"
Yan Dongming looked relaxed and replied: "Secretary, it's like this. Before we raise the animals, we invited experts and technicians in the county's breeding field to give us training. At the same time, we also asked the masters of the pig farm to give us step-by-step instructions.
During the breeding process, if any problem arises, we immediately ask people from the county to come over and deal with it, and at the same time teach us, so far, we have gotten sick, but not one of our heads has died."
Twelve pigs will grow to be about the same size. If there are deaths during the period, they will definitely be different sizes.
"Moreover, the pig manure also has a place to go. We take it to the ground to fertilize the crops. The growth is not as good as that of other crops. It is easier to use than chemical fertilizers." Yan Dongming added.
Suddenly, Li Jicheng next to him couldn't help but sigh: "Deng Gong once said that science and technology are productive forces. This is the historical view of Marxism, and it really makes sense."
As soon as the words came out, it was difficult for others to answer them. Secretary Wei Da glanced at Li Jicheng and said nothing more.
"Let's go to the brick factory."
The brick and tile factory was built on the hillside, using local materials. There happens to be clay on the mountain. The brick and tile factory needs to occupy land, so it is suitable to build it on the hillside. It also occupies a small mountain field, and there is no water to irrigate it. The soil in the land is
More generally, it is just used for burning bricks and tiles.
Following the dirt road, Weda arrived at the place and glanced around.
The brick and tile factory covers a large area. All the trees on the entire mountainside that used to be uprooted have been eradicated. Now, if you look around, you can clearly see that the area of more than ten acres is covered with densely packed red bricks and green bricks.
watt.
Yan Dongming stood beside him and explained: "The four kilns are eight meters in diameter and four meters high. One kiln can burn more than 10,000 pieces at a time, and four kilns can burn more than 40,000 pieces. They dig soil, mix mud, break bricks, and three
It took four days to complete, and when the bricks were almost completely dry, we started firing the kiln. This firing lasted three days and three nights, and we waited until they were completely cooled before starting the kiln."
"The first wave of stacking and drying the brick embryos, and mixing the mud again at the same time. At this time, the kiln has been opened, and the second wave of brick embryos comes in and starts burning again. People don't rest, and the kiln doesn't rest either. They dig the soil and mix the mud.
There are dedicated people responsible for breaking bricks, stacking them, firing the kiln, and opening the kiln. Each one is responsible for his own part, and the division of labor is clear."
"In this way, the first wave can generate more than 40,000 yuan in ten days, the second wave can open the kiln in four days, the third wave and the fourth wave. Until now, in four months, we have fired 120 yuan.
Thousands of bricks."
Before secretary Wei Da could speak, Li Jicheng asked: "Wouldn't it delay the work in the fields if we keep spinning like this?"
Yan Dongming explained: "A production team of 120 people and a kiln of 20 people are enough. After spring, the work in the fields is not too busy, which means weeding, fertilizing, and irrigation. It doesn't require a lot of labor, and women can do it."
Half the Sky, that is, when the farm work is heaviest, like the autumn harvest right now, we just take a break and focus on harvesting the grain first, and then start burning the kiln."
Listening, Weida couldn't help but nod: "Agriculture is the foundation of rural areas. It is right to engage in collective industry, but we must not forget the land. If there is no harvest, no matter how many bricks and tiles are burned, we cannot buy food."
"There is no stability without farmers, and there is no wealth without business. The secretary is right." Li Jicheng applauded.
Wei Da also laughed when he saw it.
At the end, Cui, deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, who was suddenly in the queue, asked: "You have been burning bricks for four months and sold a lot of money. How will you distribute them then?"
Yan Dongming couldn't help but look solemn, thinking, and answered according to the script: "It is better to count the work points, keep enough for the collective, and the rest will be paid according to the number of work points. At the same time, according to the specific performance of the work, those who endure hardships and work hard without complaining will be rewarded.
Of course there will be no reward for those who cheat and cheat."
Deputy Director Cui continued to ask: "If you don't work, you don't get work points?"
Yan Dongming nodded: "Yes."
When Director Cui asked further, he added: "We work in shifts, ensuring that every household has a young labor force to work in the brick and tile factory, ensuring that every household can receive wages."
"At the same time, we also ensure that no one will not farm the land because they receive extra wages for working in the brick and tile factory and there is no work in the fields, leading to the phenomenon of abandonment."
Director Cui now had nothing to say. If the distribution was not based on work, and farming was not delayed, there would be nothing to hold on to.
"The same goes for pig farms. Every household has workers. However, the brick and tile factories have male workers, while the pig farms have female workers. In this way, the work in the fields will not be delayed. At the end of the year, every household
It can provide two more incomes.”
If wheat is grown in a group under a guaranteed output, each household can receive five to six hundred yuan a year.
In addition to the brick and tile factory, you can also make a thousand yuan.
The total amount is more than 1,500 yuan. These days, a family in the countryside has so much money, which is no worse than the people in the city. People in other villages must know that every family in the Nanyao Brigade is so rich.
The matchmaker who introduces the target has not yet crossed the threshold, and any girl from any family is not anxiously looking forward to marrying her.
And in this pig farm, one pig weighs 300 catties, and twelve pigs weigh 3,600 catties. One pound per catty is almost 3,600 yuan. Each family can get less than 7 yuan, at least.
But it's worth it if you can share some pork. Pork is a good thing. Who doesn't like to eat that fat meat?
If it is quadrupled and 60 pigs are raised, each household can increase their income by 35 yuan a year. If it is increased 40 times, it is only 600 pigs. On average, a woman will take care of 6 pigs, which will increase her income by 300 yuan a year.
