Chapter 44: Working with the Military
"Mr. Zhao, I don't know if you can supply these vegetables to the military?" Senior Colonel Xu is a soldier with a deep military imprint on his body, and he speaks more directly.
"I'm sorry Colonel Xu, we have signed a supply contract with Zuisheng Hotel for this vegetable, and if we breach the contract, the economic compensation will be very terrifying!" Zhao Kun said helplessly.
"Then why don't you increase your planting efforts?" Colonel Xu asked suspiciously.
"Colonel Xu, it's hard to put into words, these vegetables are developed by me for five years, according to the soil quality of our seven surnamed Long, I have tried, the same seeds, the same planting method, even if you get a few kilometers away from the reservoir, you can't grow the same vegetables, so we can't do anything!" The time for them to speak had already arrived in the village, and Zhao Kun took out fruits from the refrigerator to quench everyone's thirst.
"Well, this fruit has the same effect!" Colonel Xu took the apple he had bitten into and looked at it.
"Yes, these fruits were also researched by me at the same time!" Zhao Kun picked up a piece of watermelon and replied vaguely while eating it.
"Then Mr. Zhao, in this way, I have come for nothing this time? I am really unwilling, such a good thing cannot be promoted on a large scale!" Senior Colonel Xu shook his head helplessly.
"Colonel Xu and Mayor Wang, it's not that there is no way at all, it depends on whether the government can be accommodating!" Zhao Kun wiped his mouth after eating the watermelon and said.
"Oh, is there a way?" Tell me about it!" Senior Colonel Xu asked eagerly.
"Colonel Xu, Mayor Wang, you have also seen that our seven surnames Longshan are connected to the mountain, and the population is more than 3,000 people, which was originally quite good, but later in response to the government's call to return farmland to forests, all the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in our seven surnames Longshan were planted with trees, but because of the special soil quality here, the trees that were planted at the beginning are now growing strangely, and they can't become forests at all, let alone produce economic benefits, so if we can dig up all those trees and let us plant vegetables, don't say that it's your military at that time, even if we people from Huaxia eat together, we can't finish eating." Zhao Kun said and looked at everyone, because those trees were the problems left over from the previous mayor.
"Mr. Zhao, right? I'm the mayor of Changjiu City, let's go and see those trees later, and if it's really like what you said, I'll immediately report this issue to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee." Mayor Wang Xiaoming immediately made a decision.
Zhao Kun was very happy, if those hundreds of thousands of acres of land could be planted with vegetables, then his goal would be 100 percent achieved!
"Okay, then let's go and have a look!" Colonel Xu and Mayor Wang both stood up, including Tan Jingjing and several patriarchs, and more than a dozen people got on the boat, and Zhao Kun rowed the boat himself.
When everyone came to the so-called woods together, their faces changed, these trees have been planted for seven or eight years, and none of them have grown to two meters high, and each one looks like a potted plant!
"Mayor Lin, why don't you report such a thing? This is hundreds of thousands of acres of land! Even if all the grain is planted, how much will there be in a year, look at these so-called trees, Mr. Zhao, we officials have not done our job properly, we are ashamed!" Mayor Wang Xiaoming was angry when he saw these trees!
"Mayor, I had reported these trees to my superiors at the beginning, but then they were all gone!" Mayor Lin did a lot of work to do this, but he was a section-level cadre, so it was useless!
"Secretary Qin, after I go back, I will find out about this matter, see if it is the official uncle who does not do practical things, and let me check to the end, no matter who it is, if you encounter resistance, tell me; Mr. Zhao, dig, dig all these harmful trees for me!" Mayor Wang seems to be really angry, and hundreds of thousands of acres of land are wasted like this!
"Mr. Zhao, Mayor Wang has also helped you solve the land matter, I don't know when you can start supplying our military?" Senior Colonel Xu is also very happy, this trip is not in vain!
"It may take a month to clear such trees, and it takes another month to build greenhouses, and it is now the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and it may not be supplied until the end of the first month and the beginning of February, and as far as I know, there are hundreds of wild boars and hares here, as well as large wild animals such as red dogs, so I want to apply to my superiors for a few shotguns for self-defense, I don't know if it will work, otherwise these vegetables will become the delicacy of those wild boars and hares"!
Mayor Wang didn't speak after listening, but looked at Colonel Xu, you must know that Huaxia Country is a national gun ban.
"I'll figure out a way to do this, but can you speed it up a little bit?" Senior Colonel Xu took off his military hat and grabbed his hair.
"Colonel Xu, this is 500,000 or 600,000 mu of land, and tens of thousands of workers are invited to work alone, and the cost of planting our vegetables is very high, I don't know what price the military can buy it?" Zhao Kun touched his nose and said thief.
"That's your purpose, right? Don't worry, our purchase price is the same as that of the Zuisheng Hotel, wait, you just said that you want to hire tens of thousands of workers, right? I heard that your workers here are very well paid, Mr. Zhao, I don't know if you can accept our veterans? You may also know that a large number of soldiers are discharged from the army every year in our Huaxia country!" Senior Colonel Xu said and looked at Zhao Kun with an eager expression.
Hearing about the veteran, Zhao Kun couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, he had a heart to be a soldier since he was a child, but he didn't realize it later!
