Chapter 716 - To put it lightly
"What are you referring to?" asked Hu Jianqiang.
"Of course, it is the provision of seedlings, the purchase of finished products, the price protection, etc., and even before the seedlings have not yet set fruit, some food subsidies are provided. ”
"Hmph, the leader didn't mention anything about what you said, and if I mentioned this, I wouldn't be worried. Hu Jianqiang snorted coldly.
"Isn't it? None of these? Doesn't that treat the villagers as guinea pigs?" Hearing that there was no match, Hu Mingchen also hesitated.
It stands to reason that farmers can plant whatever they want according to their own ideas. However, in order to promote the increase of peasants' incomes and adjust the structure of the agricultural industry, the higher authorities can lead and help the peasants to make changes in an organized manner, but there is a premise for this, that is, it is necessary to plan well and do a good job in relevant supporting measures, otherwise, it is very likely that they will do bad things with good intentions.
"It's not like that, we have also been assigned tasks in Huangni Village, I don't know what to do. ”
"Third uncle, there's no need to rush, anyway, you have to plant citrus, not right away, it's winter, and you have to wait for the end of the year." If you go to the township to inquire about the situation, maybe the leader has considered it all and didn't say it all at once. Hu Mingchen comforted.
"If there is a whole consideration, then it is good, but I am afraid that they will just pat their heads and wait for everyone to plant and do nothing. Once those fields are planted with citrus, they can't grow other grains, and it's no joke to get out of the basket. Hu Jianqiang obviously doesn't trust this Tang Zhiliang.
"After asking, you can also give your opinion. Hu Mingchen said.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Mingchen's mind was thinking about this, each village has to plant thousands of acres, and the whole township adds up, at least one or two thousand acres, so many citrus are planted together, if you don't do a good job, it is really risky.
Not to mention the current price of citrus, if it really starts and every household has a bumper harvest, the market will be enough of a headache.
Not to mention that not everyone in Duge Township can have a way to sell it in the city, even if they can, Liangcheng is far from being able to accommodate such a huge amount. If an acre of land only produces 100 catties, it will be millions of catties, if 1,000 catties, it is millions of catties, it is estimated that when the time comes, the price will kill the peasants to sell citrus and the money cannot withstand the freight.
Hu Mingchen can only hope that this Secretary Tang is a leader who has the ability and sincerity to consider the people, rather than just making some political achievements and leaving.
On the third day, Hu Jianqiang went to the township to do errands, and after smoking two cigarettes at the gate of the township government, he went to the township government to find Tang Zhiliang.
At the last meeting, the township hoped that the village cadres of each village would go back and do work for the villagers, so that everyone would not prepare for spring planting, otherwise they would have to dig up and plant fruit trees after planting grain.
"Secretary Tang, are you free now?" Hu Jianqiang was still quite familiar with the township, he went upstairs to the secretary's office, knocked on the door, and saw Tang Zhiliang sitting behind his work reading the newspaper.
"Are you?" Tang Zhiliang lowered the newspaper slightly, and glanced over the newspaper to Hu Jianqiang in confusion.
"Secretary Tang, I am Hu Jianqiang, the village director of Huangni Village. Hu Jianqiang stood at the door and introduced himself.
"Oh, it's Director Hu, come in and sit down, I've heard of you, I didn't expect you to be so young. Tang Zhiliang put down the newspaper, took off his glasses, and said with a smile, "Director Hu, I don't know what you came to me for?"
Hu Jianqiang is indeed the youngest among the village chiefs of all villages, and he has not even married yet, which is unique to him.
At the meeting a few days ago, Tang Zhiliang did not notice Hu Jianqiang because of the large number of people, and because he had just come to work in Duge Township not long ago, not to mention the village cadres of each village, it is estimated that they are the cadres in the township, and he still can't recognize them all.
Although I don't know Hu Jianqiang, Hu Jianqiang's reputation in Duge Township is still quite big, especially the ethnic street in the township was developed by him, and it is reasonable for Tang Zhiliang to hear of him.
"Secretary Tang, didn't you organize a meeting of village cadres two days ago and ask each of our villages to mobilize villagers to plant citrus on a large scale, I am ......," Hu Jianqiang sat opposite Tang Zhiliang and said.
However, before Hu Jianqiang's words were finished, Tang Zhiliang interrupted him.
"Director Hu, you are really good, you are still a young village cadre with energy, momentum, and efficiency, I really didn't expect that you would do the preparatory work in front of you in two or three days, well, not bad, not bad. Your village, you have to set an example, Director Hu, how much do you plan to plant in your village?" Tang Zhiliang thought that Hu Mingchen had come to him to report and invite merit.
Secretary Tang ...... I haven't done any work for the villagers, and my village hasn't ......."
"You haven't done any work for the villagers? That means the villagers don't know that we're going to plant citrus on a large scale next year? Director Hu, your work is inevitably too slow, isn't this going to work, didn't you say it when we had a meeting, asking you to start mobilizing as soon as you go back, you don't even move, if the development of the whole village is delayed, it affects the spring plowing of the villagers, can you afford this responsibility?" Tang Zhiliang, who was still pleasant just now, heard that Hu Jianqiang had not started to do work yet, and his face immediately changed.
"Secretary Tang, it's not that I'm lazy and don't do my work, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the township to look for you. Hu Jianqiang was holding back a fire in his heart, but Tang Liangzhi was the number one in the township after all, and Hu Jianqiang still tried his best to hold back the unhappiness in his heart.
"Your most important job now is to lobby the villagers, and your most important thing is to convince them to vacate the land and prepare the village to grow food and cash crops, rather than coming to me. What's the use of you coming to me, I can't help you, I'm not familiar with your village. Tang Liangzhi's words were full of anger.
"Secretary Tang, I came to you, not to ask for your help, I just can't figure out some things, so I came to you for consultation and understanding. Hu Jianqiang hurriedly entered the main topic, lest this Tang Zhiliang think about it wildly.
"What are you asking me to consult? Aren't they all clear at the meeting? Young people should be receptive, and there is nothing that the cadres in other villages do not understand. Tang Zhiliang criticized Hu Jianqiang from the side.
"Secretary Tang, when I was in a meeting to assign tasks, I did say a lot, but I still didn't understand. Let's mobilize everyone to change to citrus, what is the specific supporting facilities in the township. If I don't figure this out, I'm not sure in my heart. Hu Jianqiang said patiently.
"Not steady, what's not steady? I don't understand what you are talking about, if it is the supply of seedlings, then you can rest assured, I have contacted a seedling company, they will send the saplings when the time comes, you don't have to worry about this." Tang Zhiliang said.
"Secretary Tang, do you want money for the saplings at that time?" or will the township provide them for free?" asked Hu Jianqiang.
"Look at what you asked, of course you ask for money, how can there be a free lunch in the world? The seedling company is not a charity, why do you send us fruit seedlings for nothing, besides, this is not one or two, it is millions of saplings, who can afford to send it? It is provided free of charge in the township, you should know better than me what the situation is in Duge Township, we are so poor, where do we have the financial resources?" Tang Zhiliang said confidently.
"But most of the people in the village are poor. ”
"Nonsense, it's because we are a poor township, and many people haven't been lifted out of poverty, so we in our township have found a way to organize everyone to grow citrus together to get rich. Tang Zhiliang said.
"But I was worried that the people couldn't afford to buy seedlings, and every household was tight, so I thought that the seedlings organized by the township would be provided free of charge to help the villagers. ”
"What are you thinking? As I said, our township is also very poor, where is the spare money, some teachers' salaries can't be paid, where is the money for free? Besides, the common people should spend some money to buy saplings, after all, the fruits planted belong to them, and the money from the sale is theirs. Where is there a good thing that only wants to be harvested and does not want to pay? I have helped to keep the price of fruit seedlings very low to ensure that the common people can basically afford it. If you want to get rich, you have to pay something, and that little bit of money is not much, and everyone will come out after squeezing it. Director Hu, you have to create ideas and methods for work, you tell them that if you plant citrus, you can hang fruit and pick them after two years, and when the time comes, when you sell citrus, it will be money, and every household can get rid of poverty and become well-off, which is far better than planting grain. If you explain this truth to them clearly, it is a good thing that is extremely beneficial to them. Tang Zhiliang said.
Listening to Tang Zhiliang say so much, Hu Jianqiang's sense of disappointment became deeper and deeper.
Tang Zhiliang touched the skin of his mouth, it was easy to say, but would the result be as good as he thought?
Even if the fruit seedlings cost a dollar, each family will almost cost thousands of dollars. Hu Jianqiang of other villages didn't dare to say that it was Huangni Village, and the people who could spend so much money to buy fruit seedlings would definitely not be more than half.
Not to mention that this is just buying fruit seedlings to plant, according to Tang Zhiliang's statement, it will take two years to hang fruit, so what will everyone eat in these two years, even if the fruit is hung, who can guarantee that it will be sold at a good price?
"Secretary Tang, I don't know about other villages, but in our Huangni Village, I still know that there are not too many households who are willing to spend money to buy fruit seedlings. Moreover, so much land has been planted with citrus, and there has been no grain for the past two years, so what will people eat and what will pigs eat? In addition, even if there is a bumper harvest of fruits, the price of sales is not easy to say, and it is unknown where to sell them. If these problems are not solved, it will be difficult for me to carry out my work. Hu Jianqiang groaned for a moment and said in one breath.
