Chapter 314 - Developing the Collective Economy (1)
With a little idea, Zhenhua excitedly went to the village party secretary Ge Shoudao to discuss the report.
Ge Shoudao was playing mahjong at home, and when he saw Zhenhua coming, he smiled and said, "Camp Commander Zhenhua is here to catch a gamble?"
Zhenhua also smiled: "If you win or lose more than ten yuan, even if you win, even if you lose, Secretary Ge, be careful." β
"Well, I'm not going to fight. Ge Shoudao got off the table, let his wife on top of it, and then pulled Zhenhua aside and asked, "What, is there a problem with the construction of the second group's dangjiatang?"
Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, we dug up an ancient tomb at the bottom of the pond, and there are a lot of gold ingots and gold bars in it, waiting for the secretary to arrange it." β
Ge Shoudao was taken aback: "It's really fake!?"
Zhenhua smiled and said, "Of course it's fake, but I think that if the rural dangjiatang is used, some gold ingots and gold bars can also grow, and all of them will be reported to Secretary Ge." β
"I thought it was true, and it made me happy in vain. Ge Shoudao sighed, then squinted at Zhenhua and asked: "What you said about the use of dangjiatang, is it the development of aquaculture and scientific fish farming?"
Zhenhua first tested the meaning of the village party secretary, and asked rhetorically: "Does Secretary Ge think aquaculture is feasible?"
Ge Shoudao thought for a while and said: "I have been to the south to investigate, and the freshwater fish cage culture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very powerful, and the benefits are very high. It is said that the output value of each mu of water surface can reach about 1,000 yuan. Like the Dangjiatang in our village, the water surface is more than 20 acres, if you learn the cage breeding technology, the annual income of a dangjiatang can reach about 20,000 yuan. β
Zhenhua smiled: "Since there is such a good way, why has Secretary Ge not acted?"
Ge Shoudao lit a cigarette, shook his head and said, "I can't do it." You can do it in the south, but we can't do it in our village. β
Zhenhua nodded slightly, waiting for the following.
Ge Shoudao continued: "Cage farming is privately contracted. If there are villagers who are willing to try, our village will naturally support and actively coordinate to help the villagers win the contracting rights. However, this project has several difficulties, first, it requires excellent technology, second, it requires a lot of upfront investment, and third, it needs market ...... This point is very important, we have cheap fish and shrimp in the countryside, and we can't sell the wild ones, so who do we sell the fish and shrimp in captivity? Fourth, supervision and care is a big problem, can you guarantee that no one steals the fish? Fifth, ......
"Secretary Ge, let's not talk about cage farming. Zhenhua interrupted Ge Shoudao's tirade and said with a smile: "This road doesn't work, let's change the road." I think we can make use of the dam in Dangjiatang to develop the collective economy of the village. β
"Village collective economy?" Ge Shoudao looked at Zhenhua as if he had heard a fantasy, and asked after a while:
"Zhenhua, you're not joking with me, are you? What kind of village collective economy are there in these days? Let me tell you, the vast majority of administrative villages in this county do not have any village collective economy. Only the central villages of the county seat and the three ancient towns have some village-run enterprises or some real estate that can be rented. How can a poor country like us, where ghosts don't lay eggs, birds don't, engage in a collective economy?"
Zhenhua was not in a hurry, and waited for Ge Shoudao to finish speaking, and then said: "I saw the Tangtang Dam, the leader of the second group, which is more than one zhang wide, and it is all wasted. My idea is to plant some fast-growing poplars on the surrounding ponds and dams, and when the trees are mature, they can be sold and used as construction funds for the village. β
Ge Shoudao smiled, shook his head and said: "Zhenhua, you are too naΓ―ve, planting a few trees is called developing the collective economy? Even if you can sell it for money in a few years, what can you do with that money?"
Zhenhua nodded: "What the secretary said makes sense, but I think that as long as we invest a little money, we can leverage the villagers' enthusiasm for construction." For example, last year, I got a batch of waste water pipes from the city, and the villagers responded positively and restored the mechanized farming road. Later, the township allocated funds, and we issued cement culverts to each village, and each village felt that it was necessary to repair the mechanized roads, otherwise it would be a waste of culverts...... Our investment is only a little bit, but we have done some practical things to solve the problem of field transportation for the villagers. β
Through last year's mechanized road restoration work, Zhenhua has a deeper understanding of the thoughts of the villagers.
It's hard to get started. However, as long as the two levels of government in the village invest a small amount of money and the village cadres take action, the subsequent matters will be easily solved.
Ge Shoudao was silent and thoughtful.
Zhenhua continued: "If the fast-growing Yang becomes a material, our village will have some activity funds, and we can do a lot of things. β
"What do you think can be done?" asked Ge Shoudao.
"That's a lot, such as taking care of poor households and solving the problem of poor children going to school, for example, during the Spring Festival, we can carry out cultural and recreational activities to resist gambling. Of course, you can also buy materials to build roads. β
"How many trees do you need to plant to build a road?" Ge Shoudao smiled bitterly.
"It's better for us to do it than to do nothing, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Zhenhua said with a smile.
"Okay, I definitely support the work of Battalion Commander Zhenhua. If you want to plant a tree, I'll go to the township and ask you for a sapling!" Ge Shoudao nodded and said.
"I'm with Secretary Ge, as much as I want!" Zhenhua said.
There is no money in the township, but free saplings are distributed every year, including fast-growing poplars and various types of fruit tree seedlings.
The cadres of various villages were not interested in these saplings, and often took some back casually and gave them to the villagers indiscriminately, which was regarded as completing the task assigned by the superiors.
Zhenhua wanted to plant trees, and Ge Shoudao felt that there was no problem.
A few days later, Zhenhua and Ge Shoudao went to Secretary Zhao Dejie with the application report.
Zhao Dejie listened to Zhenhua's report, nodded and smiled: "This is no problem, I will fight for five hundred to one thousand fast-growing poplar saplings for you." But this matter, I want to report it as a village collective economic project, Zhao Zhenhua, you have to make achievements for me. If you can't make a grade, I'm going to get you in trouble. β
There is no difficulty in fighting for saplings, because the state has a policy of returning farmland to forests. Zhenhua's application is the direction of the state's support, and it is a perfect fit.
Zhenhua was overjoyed and said: "I have made a military order that I will cultivate these saplings well and will not waste the investment of the national government." β
Zhao Dejie nodded, and said: "We also have to report to the township, you wait for the news." I estimate that the distribution of saplings will not be until around the winter solstice. Because every year of afforestation, it is during this period that it begins. β
Zhenhua nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and mobilize the villagers first, tidy up the pond dam and other wasteland, determine the planting scope, and implement the planting task." βγ
After returning from the town, Zhenhua excitedly convened a meeting of the production team leaders of the 1234 group of Dongwan.
However, as soon as Zhenhua's proposal was spoken, he was poured cold water on the head by the production captains.
