Chapter Ninety-Three: Inspecting the Countryside

As soon as Zhang Yida entered the room, he saw the living room piled up of bast shoes like a small mountain bag, and he was also surprised, and asked:

"Sister Shuzhen, did you make this up all by yourself?"

Shuzhen shook her head again and again: "It's all made up by me and my mother-in-law." ”

Zhang Yida glanced around the room, it was very simple, there was no decent furniture, but the room was still very clean inside and out, and it could be seen that it was cleaned frequently.

An old woman in her sixties came out of the room at this time and asked:

"Shuzhen, what's wrong, why are there so many people in the house?"

"Auntie, this is the leader from the county and the boss from the capital who came to your house to inspect the bast shoes. The village party secretary said with a smile.

Everyone also stepped forward to say hello, and the old woman was very happy, and hurriedly found a few stools and beckoned the guests to sit down. Then he asked his daughter-in-law Shuzhen to hurry up and boil water to make tea.

After the old woman and Shuzhen walked into the kitchen, the village party secretary turned his head and said to the county magistrate Wu and Zhang Yida and his party:

"Shuzhen is a hard-working woman, and her husband died within a few years of marriage.

became a widow in her 20s, and in the past ten years, in addition to raising her children and going to junior high school, she also has to take care of her mother-in-law who is not in good health.

These years have not been easy, and the people in the village admire her. If there is anything to do, everyone is willing to help.

However, she is a strong woman and generally doesn't want anyone to help. A family of three relies on braided bast shoes to maintain a basic life. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yida was in awe, and felt that his Huinong loan must help them do something.

After a while, bowls of hot tea were served. Because there were not enough cups, they all used earthen bowls to brew tea.

Zhang Yida didn't dislike it, took the tea and said thank you to Sister Shuzhen, then took a big sip and asked with a smile:

"Sister Shuzhen, let me ask you how many pairs of shoes you can make in a year, and how much can you sell them for?"

Shuzhen sat on a small stool on one side, thought for a while and replied, "I can make 300 pairs a year, and I can sell them for two or three thousand yuan." ”

Zhang Yida took the hemp shoes piled up on the side, looked at them carefully, touched them, and felt that the handicraft was very good, but it was too cheap to sell a pair for less than 10 yuan. Then he asked:

"Do you usually sell these shoes locally?"

Shuzhen nodded and said, "Either go to the market and set up a stall to sell, or sell it to buyers and let them transport it to the city to sell."

These shoes are made by locals, and they are not easy to sell. Basically, it's sold to an acquirer. ”

The village party secretary added: "These shoes are still too cheap, so I can only sell them to buyers, and I go to the city to sell them, and the travel expenses are not enough." ”

Zhang Yida found a pair of bast shoes that were about the same size as himself, and said with a smile, "Can I buy a pair?"

Then he asked Zhao Erya to take out a hundred yuan and hand it to Shuzhen, but Shuzhen shirked it.

Zhang Yida looked at her with a smile: "Take it! Sister Shuzhen, it's a matter of course to buy things and give money." ”

Shuzhen hurriedly shook her head: "If it doesn't cost so much, 10 yuan is enough." ”

"It's okay, we'll just get a few more pairs later. Zhang Yida waved his hand and said, then took off his shoes and replaced them with a pair of bast shoes.

At this time, it was the hot weather in August, and I had walked so long, in short, the taste was a bit big.

Zhang Yida also realized this problem, wore bast shoes, and walked to the courtyard outside with his shoes, scattering the smell.

After a while he came back and said:

"These shoes are very good! they're cool, breathable, and non-slip!"

looked at Shuzhen and praised: "Sister Shuzhen, your skills are good!"

Shuzhen smiled, the big boss from the capital praised her shoes for being good, and she was still very happy.

Zhang Yida asked again:

"If you solve the problem of sales channels for Sister Shuzhen, do you have any ideas to make more shoes? ”

Shuzhen thought for a while, and finally nodded: "If we don't worry about selling, my mother-in-law and I can make hundreds of more pairs every year." ”

Zhang Yida shook his head, it was still too little. Asked the people around him: "What are the processes that make up the production process of hemp shoes?"

The village party secretary spoke enthusiastically: "

Mr. Zhang, I know!

Jute is kneaded into thick ropes and thin ropes, dried with long, flexible straw and loosened with a hammer, and the front end of the wooden bench is hooked with a nail rake.

The person sits in the middle of the wooden bench, and uses the belt to wrap the waist pole from the back to the front, and then hooks the hemp rope with the wire in the middle of the waist pole, and the other end of the hemp rope is put on the straw shoe rake, and begins to weave.

The last circle is slowly wound around and finished. ”

Zhang Yida smiled and boasted: "The branch secretary said in detail, and I, a layman, understood it." ”

After a moment of conversation, he said seriously: "However, this production process is still too backward. If you want to get rich, you have to transform to create a better economic income.

I have a couple of suggestions.

First, let's talk about sales channels, now the Internet is so developed. Your handmade hemp shoes should not be sold in a corner of the country, but should be sold all over the country.

The country's e-commerce industry is now so developed, we must keep up with the pace of the times. Sell your hemp shoes to the whole country through e-commerce,

Second, product style.

The style of hemp shoes should not only be made into sandals, but also into slippers, cloth shoes, and casual shoes.

Hemp rope combined with other materials can be made into new styles of cloth shoes and casual shoes. The style keeps up with the fashion trend, and the style that the city people like and what style is popular will be made.

The main concept of "environmental protection" and "pure handmade" gives added value to the products.

Third, it is the production process.

The hemp rope needs to be dried, and the material is right, and it needs to be cut back in the field.

These processes can be completed by setting up small processing plants, and then each household only needs to focus on the most important parts to build by hand. All other links are gradually replaced by industrial processes.

Liberate the productive forces and increase the amount of production.

Three suggestions, sales channels, product styles, and production processes. If these three points are done well, it can definitely create several times the current economic return. ”

Everyone applauded, and County Magistrate Wu laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang, he is worthy of being a young leader entrepreneur, and his suggestions are good!"

Then he turned his head to look at the other government workers and issued an order: "You can write me a report next, and follow Mr. Zhang's suggestion." ”

Other government workers nodded.

After sitting in Shuzhen's house for several hours, the chatter was almost done, and it was getting late, and the county magistrate Wu came to Zhang Yida's side and whispered:

"It's almost dark, Mr. Zhang will go back to the county to rest first, and then inspect tomorrow!"

Zhang Yi nodded and said yes, and then asked Zhao Erya to take out a large stack of RMB and buy all the bast shoes in Shuzhen's house.

Shuzhen excused herself: "Mr. Zhang, you have 10,000 yuan, if you don't have so much, 3,000 is enough." ”

Zhang Yida smiled kindly: "Sister Shuzhen, if you have more, keep it for the child's tuition!"

Others also advised:

"Sister Shuzhen, this is Mr. Zhang's intention, you can take it!"

Shuzhen and her mother-in-law were also moved, wiped their tears, and sent Zhang Yida and his party to the entrance of the village.

Bidding farewell to Shuzhen's family, as well as the village party secretary and others, the group got into a car and returned to the county seat.

Back at the hotel where he had lunch at noon, Zhang Yida smiled and said to County Magistrate Wu:

"County Magistrate Wu, don't make the reception standard so high. It made me nervous. I have felt the affection of the leaders of the county party committee and county government of Gugu County, thank you for your care.

This investment has been determined in my mind, and the specific investment plan is still being made. ”

When County Magistrate Wu heard Zhang Yida say that the investment had been determined and he was making an investment plan, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he said:

"Mr. Zhang, you are a guest from afar, and you are here to lead the people of our valley to get rich. You should be hospitalized, and you must not refuse. ”

Zhang Yida couldn't shirk it, and had a sumptuous dinner with County Magistrate Wu and others at the hotel.

Then, County Magistrate Wu invited Zhang Yida and his delegation to come to the county's radio and television station to watch a historical Qin drama "Jiang Wei" together.

The show was very exciting, and Zhang Yida was fascinated by the ancient Qin dialect and asked:

"County Magistrate Wu, is Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyo also from the valley?"

County Magistrate Wu was quite proud and said:

"Yes, he is the number one celebrity in our valley county throughout the ages!"

"Nine expeditions to the Central Plains, really Liangzhou sergeant. County Magistrate Wu, your valley can be called an outstanding person!"

Zhang Yida said with emotion that as a native of Sichuan and Shu, Jiang Wei's story has been heard since he was a child. Later, I went to university, majored in history, and learned more about Jiang Weina.

Jiang Wei led the army to resist Deng Ai's army outside, but Adou, who was fooled into opening the city gate and surrendering, then gave Jiang Wei the order to surrender.

A lone army rushed to Chengdu, which scared Adou. When Jiang Wei's army withdrew to Chengdu, it was not without a chance to break the siege and turn the tables.

It's sad to miss it like that!

After Jiang Wei surrendered to Wei, he was separated from Zhonghui and Deng Ai until his death, trying to restore the Han family.

The final result is failure, the death of the family, and the beheading of all the people!

A generation of talents, outstanding military talent, loyalty to the Shu Han, is the pillar of the late Shu Han period, its "gathering troops and gathering valley" strategy is also very clever, was about to hit the Wei army but was unable to turn the tide.

In fact, I am not afraid of god-like opponents, but I am afraid of pig-like teammates. The demise of Shu Han, Jiang Wei was unable to support it alone, and it was not Jiang Boyuo's fault, so he could only leave a deep sigh in the end.

Zhang Yida is a native of Sichuan and Shu, and since he was a child, the Three Kingdoms have tended to have big ears, and when he was a child, he often went to the Wuhou Temple to incense many Shu Han heroes.

He asked County Magistrate Wu: "Is there a temple and ancestral hall of Jiang Wei in your county?" If there is, I would like to go and give this great hero two incense injections. I grew up listening to his stories. ”

County Magistrate Wu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, tomorrow I will ask someone to take Mr. Zhang over to worship." ”

......

At night.

Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya were lying on the bed, Zhao Erya frowned and said:

"Why is there only one bed?"

Zhang Yida laughed dryly: "There may be no way! You also have to understand that this is a poor county." ”
