After visiting the slaughterhouse from afar, the village cadres of Qili Village led Zhang Fan and them to a family to sit down and talk. Along the way, Ding Liang always wanted to speak, but was forced to swallow back by Zhang Fan, Manager Liang and others.

"Listening to Xiaoding, everyone is in favor of the cattle raising project. Manager Liang spoke first.

The main purpose of coming here today is to talk about cattle raising and to solve the problem of establishing pastures as soon as possible. Once the good breed cattle from the Japanese side are brought back, the pasture needs to be addressed.

The next step is to convince the villagers to give up the cultivation of the land and restore the ecology of the grassland.

This is the most troublesome, I'm afraid not many villagers can accept it, even their village cadres, after all, everyone has to support their families, how can it be possible if they don't worry about it at all?

"Agree is agree, but what Boss Zhang Fan said is to ask the big guy to give up farming, and there will be no more grain harvest in the future. Everyone is still very worried about this. The village chief of Qili Village spoke.

Before Zhang Fan and the others came, they mobilized the villagers' meeting to discuss the matter.

More than eighty percent of the villagers are resistant to giving up farming. As a traditional farmer, land and food always come first.

Zhang Fan and the others asked them to give up those two things, and everyone would hesitate. Without land and food, they will all panic and hesitate, which is the peculiar anxiety of the peasants, and there is no way to change it all at once.

"Yes, is there a safer way, or a little more buffer?" the village party secretary asked.

If the plan for returning farmland is set to be realized in a few years, or even ten years, the villagers' thinking may be changed subtly. But to ask them to accept such an offer immediately will undoubtedly force them to poke a hornet's nest.

"That's a plan to return farmland to grassland. We were in Zhangjiazhai, and we were also appreciated by the biological scientists there, and even said that they would help in case of difficulties. With their help, the success rate of raising cattle is very high......" Ding Liang couldn't help but speak anymore.

As he spoke, he couldn't stop, explaining to the villagers the concept of returning farmland to grassland, and even brought out the words of the national leaders to persuade everyone, what "lucid waters and lush mountains are gold and silver mountains!" and so on.

He said that returning farmland to grassland and forests and developing animal husbandry is an important part of the implementation of the strategic plan for the construction of new countryside put forward by the party Central Committee in remote areas, and is also a strategic principle for protecting the ecological environment, achieving sustainable development, and increasing the income of farmers and herdsmen.

Moreover, according to his understanding, because "returning farmland to grassland" conforms to the needs of national conditions and sustainable development, it has a strong appeal and vitality.

As proposed by the central leadership and the government, in terms of the state's major policies, the practice of advocating land reclamation, attaching importance to farming and warfare, taking grain as the key link, and rewarding land reclamation has been changed to the practice of withdrawing from farming and returning forests to grasslands, providing grain as a substitute for relief, and implementing subsidies and encouragement policies for those who have returned farmland.

It can be said that it is a major turning point in history, a rational reflection after experiencing desertification, sandstorms, soil erosion, floods, and serious ecological deterioration, and it is a major measure that conforms to the will of God, conforms to the will of the people, and benefits the present generation for a long time.

"This is a national policy in itself, it is subsidized, and for us, it can be regarded as a small guarantee. Ding Liang began to pour ecstasy into the village cadres of his village.

These days, he is actually looking up relevant materials and studying policies and so on thoroughly.

For example, under the macro guidance of the state policy, we must conscientiously implement the policies and measures of "returning farmland to forests (grasslands), closing mountains for afforestation, substituting grain for relief, and individual contracting" and adhere to the principle of "whoever returns, who returns, and who operates, who benefits."

In particular, the land use right of "one return and two restitutions" should be implemented in households for a long time, so that the peasants can have a "reassurance," closely integrate their responsibilities and rights, and make returning farmland to forests and grasslands truly a conscious behavior of the peasants, and this is the most fundamental measure to arouse the peasants' enthusiasm for governance.

Therefore, the state and the government will definitely support their upcoming initiative of "returning farmland to grassland." Not only moral support, but also material support.

Ding Liang believes that coupled with some small promises given by Zhang Fan and Manager Liang, they should be able to convince the villagers, at least some of them, to give up farming and establish pastures.

"Don't talk about the vanity, let's talk about the benefits. Ding Liang kept saying.

He explained to everyone with his fingers, ploughing the land, everyone harvests some grain every year. Since the price of cereals is stable and the state regulates and controls, it will never make a lot of money.

"Moreover, as you know, our village is a traditional farming model, and the yield has fallen behind. If we don't change our thinking, we won't be able to get rid of poverty in the future. ”

said, looking at everyone: "We don't think about ourselves, we have to think about future generations, don't let them lose at the starting line." ”

On the side, Zhang Fan and Manager Liang were secretly speechless, thinking: You are getting more and more nonsense. Even the descendants are not spared, are they still human?

I have to say that Ding Liang's kid can speak well and knows what the villagers really care about.

They can be willing to be thin and poor, but they will always value their children and future generations. They can be poor, but they will not be poor in their children's food and clothing, and they will not be poor in their children's education.

Therefore, as soon as these words came out, the village cadres of Qili Village, as well as the few villagers who accompanied them, all pondered.

"Listen to me......"

Zhang Fan hurriedly interrupted: "Let's listen to me!"

Manager Liang also nodded, and when he heard Ding Liang's kid speak, he felt a headache, although that kid sometimes had a little bit of nonsense.

The village cadres of Qili Village, as well as the villagers, hurriedly quieted down and quietly waited for Zhang Fan's next words.

To say that they trust the most, it is undoubtedly Zhang Fan from the other villages. The legend created by people in Yellowstone has proven time and time again that it is not luck, but the real ability to change the fate of a place.

Nowadays, the village in Huangshi Town does not envy Zhangjiazhai?

Under Zhang Fan's intervention, those villages have made a fortune, at least with a bright future. I heard that even the mayor and secretary of the town have publicly stated that Zhang Fan controls the economic lifeline of Huangshi Town.

This kind of thing is not just a casual talk, counting Zhang Fan's industry, vegetables, fruits, flower planting, as well as pigs, chickens, etc., the annual income is tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

You must know that the GDP of Huangshi Town in the previous year was less than 100 million, which is quite pitiful.

Therefore, it is not a joke to say that Zhang Fan can influence the economic trend of Huangshi Town.

"It's all quiet, listen to Boss Zhang. The village chief and other village cadres of their village said.

After speaking, he also glared at Ding Liang from his village and warned him not to intervene first.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhang Fan began to organize the language, and did not convince everyone from the big reason that any environmental protection, national policies, etc., are all a kind of moral kidnapping.

Zhang Fan disdains to do that, what he likes the most is to guide everyone with interests.

Interests are the most direct and effective means, as long as there are real benefits, no need to talk much, everyone will follow him.

In fact, most of the peasant uprisings in ancient times were operated in this way.

Only by giving real benefits to the peasants, will everyone risk their lives to rebel with you. Relying only on sentiments, loyalty, and so on is very unreliable.

Another point is that the peasants are not highly educated and do not understand things too deeply.

They may only believe what they see and what they see.

"I know everyone's concerns, and I can understand that land is everyone's lifeline. Once we farmers have no land and no crops, we are like a rootless pine. ”

Zhang Fan's words reached the bottom of everyone's hearts, and they all nodded.

"That's right!"

"If you don't plant some land, you don't know the bottom of your heart. ”

"In my opinion, we can return some dry land and land with poor harvests to farmland, increase the area of grassland, and establish pastures as well! ”

……

Zhang Fan raised his hand, and the crowd that had just been discussing immediately quieted down again.

"This is a difficult choice, I can't make a decision for you, I can only give you some advice, on the return of farmland to grassland, the advantages and disadvantages of the cattle project.

First of all, once we work on such a project, everyone's identity begins to change, whether we admit it or not. ”

He said that if cattle were raised on a large scale in Qili Village, everyone would change from their original status as farmers to herdsmen.

Then, the things that depend on it will be different. Previously it was grain, then it was cattle.

What everyone is worried about is nothing more than the fear that the gains outweigh the losses. Raising cattle is not their specialty, and it is normal to give up what they are good at and do something unfamiliar to them, and to be uneasy.

"If you really want to raise cattle, you will be herdsmen in the future, and the herd will be the lifeblood, and you need to see the herd as a crop on the ground. You are afraid of failure and have no experience.

Actually, there is no need to worry about this. Not to mention me, the biologists in our village are all experts in the study of biological growth, and with their guidance, the probability of failure is very low. ”

Zhang Fan will talk about everyone's worries and some realities

"If you are still not at ease, I have a more secure suggestion that can help you put your worries at ease. ”

Hearing this, whether it was the villagers of Qili Village or Manager Liang, they all looked at Zhang Fan, with surprises, surprises, and surprises.

"What's the suggestion? Good idea to tell us. ”

"Thank you so much!"

……

The village chief of Qili Village, with a head like a boiled egg, is shining, and Zhang Fan's suggestion will definitely not be bad.

"Rent out your arable land, and we rent it at a high price. Whether you succeed or fail, it has nothing to do with you, and the annual territory rent is the safest way to do it. However, in this case, you will not get any share dividends or anything like that. Zhang Fan said.

"What's the price?" someone couldn't help but ask.

If the rent is relatively high, they will really be tempted, after all, they have no risk of loss at all.

"The rent issue, if we discuss it again, will definitely be much higher than the normal rent. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Liang continued the topic of Zhang Fan.

Hearing Zhang Fan's suggestion, he was even more moved. That way, he can earn more. He would rather give the villagers rich rent every year than be happy with so many people sharing the profits with them.

"Don't worry, if you really want to do that, I can guarantee that everyone collects more than 100,000 yuan in rent every year, how about it?" Manager Liang tempted.

In a rural area like theirs, the income of more than 100,000 yuan a year is definitely very high.

Of course, it can be compared with Zhangjiazhai and Qingtian Village.

With this verbal assurance, many people are now moved, and because of the presence of village leaders, village party secretaries and other village cadres, they did not immediately ask for specific details.

"I don't recommend that, though. ”

Zhang Fan asked Ding Liang to bring a calculator and began to "settle accounts" for the villagers and village cadres of Qili Village.

"Don't worry, I'll settle an account for you. ”

First of all, if you choose to collect rent, the income is almost fixed, and there is nothing to say. Zhang Fan mainly calculates for everyone the accounts of the shareholding cattle breeding project.

"I may not be sure about the top-quality beef, but I am still confident in the mid-to-high-quality beef cattle. We don't talk about exports, we just put them in our domestic market......"

He sorted out the price of middle-class and high-grade beef, and how much money a middle-class beef cow could make. Excluding costs, etc., what is the net profit of a cow, etc.

Later, he calculated the crops and calculated them according to the good harvest, and calculated how much a family could earn from farming, and so on.

In the end, as long as there are no fatal mistakes, you can earn more than 100,000 yuan by participating in research projects.

"What's more, you've missed a part. How many jobs will the establishment of pastures and cattle raising projects increase in your village? In that regard, you will still receive a part of the salary, and it will be tens of thousands of dollars a year, right?"

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.

Of course, Zhang Fan calculated this way, ignoring the situation that would fail.

Although I didn't say it, everyone understands it. If you want high returns, there will be high risks.

Hearing these words, the people of Qili Village once again thought about whether the previous decision was correct, and whether they should sing along with the song: Love will win if you love to fight.

Ding Liang is constantly persuading his villagers not to take any rent. If you want to be rich, you really have to gamble! Whether it will be effective or not, you will know in a year or two.

"Anyway, my family doesn't approve of that proposal, and we don't get involved, so it's not interesting. Ding Liang said on behalf of his Lao Tzu.

At this time, Ding Liang's father did not refute his son's words. That kid is a little talkative, but he still has vision and ideas.

As a matter of fact, most of the cadres in their village are also in favor of joint ventures, and although they are a little risky, if they are really lucky, they will make a fortune.

"To be honest, I hope you will take share dividends, just like Tengyun Village. Zhang Fan said to them.

After saying that, he said no more and asked them to think about it.

The village party secretary of Qili Village and others instructed Ding Liang to entertain Zhang Fan and Manager Liang.

They planned to urgently convene a villagers' meeting, and all the villagers would discuss the matter, and make an answer to Zhang Fan and them as soon as possible by raising their hands and voting.

A large crowd left, leaving only three or five people in the house.

But as long as Ding Liang is there, it is impossible to be quiet.

Zhang Fan rubbed his head, no longer paid attention to Ding Liang's kid, and looked at Manager Liang: "If you really want to establish a ranch, you should first divide the area and implement the measure of zoning and rotational grazing." ”

The so-called rotational grazing is a scientific way of using the grassland, which is a grazing method that divides the grazing land into several zones according to the needs of the grassland productivity and grazing herd, and stipulates the grazing sequence, grazing cycle and zonal grazing time.

When it came to rotational grazing in different areas, Ding Liang also shifted the topic and participated in the discussion.

He remembers some of the contents of rotational grazing, according to the growth of grassland and the demand of livestock for forage, the grassland is divided into several zones according to the plan, and grazing is carried out in a certain period of time, which is an advanced grazing system.

Compared with free-grazing, it can reduce forage waste, increase livestock carrying capacity, help improve forage yield and quality, and prevent the spread of parasitic helminths in livestock.

Rotational grazing is carried out on the basis of measuring the amount of grassland in the pasture, determining the carrying capacity, the number of livestock grazing, the rotational grazing cycle, the grazing time and the frequency of rotational grazing in each zone.

"This is not a prairie, it must be zoned for rotational grazing, and the free-grazing mode is only suitable for the real prairie. Zhang Fan said to Manager Liang.

In addition, in the future, large-scale farming will be necessary, and even pasture grass will need to be transported back from other places.

Otherwise, once there are too many cattle, it will damage the local environment, cause soil erosion, etc., which is not what he wants to see.

In foreign countries, such as Europe, people do just that, to avoid the devastating destruction of the grasslands.

"It shouldn't be difficult to divide the area for rotational grazing, and these breeding matters will be left to you, and I won't point fingers. Manager Liang said to Zhang Fan.

He had heard that there were periods, days, frequencies and so on.

That is, the time from the first zone to the last zone is used sequentially, and the time is returned to the first zone. The time of rotational grazing cycle is the time when the grass regenerates after grazing to the point that it can be reused, generally about 30 days.

The number of grazing days within the zone is determined based on the regeneration of pasture grass and the infection of parasitic helminths. In order to ensure the full regeneration of forage grass, the regenerated grass cannot be collected in each zone for grazing, and at the same time avoid the infection of parasitic worms excreted in the feces, and the number of grazing days in the general zone does not exceed six days.

Frequency, i.e. the number of times a grazing can be grazed per zone.

"When the time comes, I will come to assist you, senior brother. Ding Liang said.

……

Just as they were talking about dividing the area for rotational grazing, a large number of villagers rushed to discuss the matter of returning farmland in the open air.

"That's probably the case, now Boss Zhang and Manager Liang are in our Qili Village. Those who agree, raise their hands in a moment, and I'll count them. As long as the number of people who agree exceeds two-thirds of the total number, the minority obeys the majority. The village chief shouted in a loud voice.

With the accounts that Zhang Fan calculated for them, those who disagreed before were also entangled.

Half an hour later, the vote finally began by raising hands. What is surprising is that for the first time, the number of people who agreed to return farmland to grassland exceeded three-quarters.

"In this case, then let's go in and negotiate with Boss Zhang and Manager Liang to establish the ranch as soon as possible. ”
