Chapter Seventy-Five: The Test Was Successful
Growing vegetables in greenhouses and mushrooms in bomb shelters have been a great success. Under the careful guidance of experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, beans, tomatoes, peppers are thriving, and mushrooms are like a small umbrella, filling the entire air-raid shelter.
Eating mushrooms in the winter is a novelty. Yan Yucheng was overjoyed, and personally reported to Long Tiejun and Zhou Peiming, the first and second leaders of the Local Revolutionary Committee. Zhou Peiming was okay, humming and playing in an official tone on the phone, and he couldn't see any excessive excitement. Long Tiejun was different, he seemed to be happier than Yan Yucheng, hung up the phone, called the secretary Liu Heqian and the driver, and ran directly to Xiangyang County.
Seeing the verdant beans, green and red tomatoes and green peppers in the plastic greenhouse, Long Tiejun couldn't help but squat down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked it, like a growing child, and his joyful smile spread on his majestic face.
"Yucheng, amazing, amazing!"
Yan Yucheng, who has always been strong, was also embarrassed by praise and waved his hand again and again.
"Director Long, don't praise me, this is all the credit of Comrade Haitian and the experts of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Comrade Haitian put forward the idea, and the experts of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences gave specific guidance, and it took a month of hard work to achieve such some results. ”
At this time, naturally no one would mention Liu Jun, the "first" little kid.
Long Tiejun held Tang Haitian's hand and shook it again and again.
"Comrade Haitian, I thank you on behalf of the more than 3 million people in the region!"
Long Tiejun couldn't suppress his excitement, and said a little big. But in detail, it's not outrageous. The success of greenhouse planting is equivalent to advancing this new thing that appeared ten years later. To put it mildly, it will inevitably cause a great change in the agricultural pattern of Xiangyang County and even Baozhou, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an agricultural scientific and technological revolution.
"Director Long, you have won the award, this is what I should do."
Tang Haitian was excited. He has been the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee for some years, and it is the first time he has been praised by Long Tiejun so face-to-face and enthusiastic, and he can't help but look at Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai gratefully.
"Director Long, it is only under the correct leadership and strong support of Director Yan and Director Liu that we can make such a small achievement."
Hearing this, Long Tiejun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he inadvertently swept over Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai, with a look of appreciation in his eyes. These two guys were originally worried that they were not qualified and could not hold back their positions, but now it seems that even Tang Haitian, who is an old qualification, has been convinced, and his worries are purely superfluous.
Long Tiejun was still unsatisfied, and asked to see the mushrooms cultivated in the air-raid shelter.
Yan Yucheng showed a look of embarrassment.
"Director Long, the smell in the air-raid shelter is not very good, why don't you ask them to bring some mushrooms out for you to bring back, and ask the leaders of the Local Revolutionary Committee to try them?"
Long Tiejun laughed: "Yucheng, what kind of golden branches and jade leaves do you really treat me for?" No matter how bad the smell in the air-raid shelter is, can it be better than the tunnel of the Battle of Ganling? In such a difficult environment, I led a battalion to hold on for a whole month, what is the smell of your little air-raid shelter? ”
In 1953, the Battle of Shangganling was the last major battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and it was also the most arduous battle. The person who has been in the tunnel of Shangganling for a month is undoubtedly the most amazing hero.
Yan Yucheng was convinced and led the way first.
In order to facilitate the test, the air-raid shelter in the compound of the Qingshanling County Revolutionary Committee was chosen. The bomb shelter was about two meters high and two meters wide. Temporary wires were pulled in, and there were dim lights along the way. A group of mermaids rushed in, turned a few corners inside, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and it turned out to be a relatively open place. According to the design of the bomb shelter, this should be a place to store food.
The gray-white mushrooms bloom on the cultivation base, and the spring is full of joy, but the smell is really a little unpleasant.
Long Tiejun squatted down, picked a mushroom and looked at it carefully, looking at it, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. Although the lights in the air-raid shelter were dim, and everyone's eyes were focused on Long Tiejun's face, this tear was extremely clear. Suddenly, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to cough. It's just that everyone wonders in their hearts, and I don't know where Director Long's emotion comes from.
"There were 679 people when I pulled it up, and after a month, there were only 105 people left......
Long Tiejun muttered to himself. But it turned out that I remembered my comrades who fought side by side back then.
Seeing Director Long reminiscing about the past, no one dared to disturb him.
After a while, Commander Long Tiejun let out a long sigh, and finally pulled his thoughts back to reality from the smoke and flames of the bloody battle more than twenty years ago. Liu Heqian immediately stepped forward and handed over a white handkerchief.
Long Tiejun took the handkerchief and wiped it, and said with a smile: "Very good, there is an idiom called casting mushrooms with a bomb shelter to cultivate mushrooms...... Casting a sword into a plowshare, I see it very vividly. ”
Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai both showed expressions of admiration.
Long Tiejun is a demobilized cadre in the army, a tough guy who was killed in the rain of bullets, and has made great achievements for the country, and the idiom of casting a sword into a plough could not be more appropriate.
After looking at the mushrooms, Long Tiejun returned to the office building and held an impromptu meeting in the conference room of the county revolutionary committee.
Yan Yucheng, Liu Jincai, Tang Haitian, Liu Heqian, Wei Yuhua, and two other deputy directors of the county revolutionary committee were present.
"Comrade Haitian, the cultivation of vegetables and mushrooms in this greenhouse is very well done and very creative. Specifically, give us an introduction, and what else needs to be done to promote it quickly? ”
After the initial period of excitement, Long Tiejun began to think about specific deployment issues. It seems that this is another practical article, not satisfied with mere formality.
"The technical problems have been basically solved, and there is no problem with rapid promotion. The main problem now is the problem of funding......"
Tang Haitian obviously did a lot of preparations, and began to count the money for Long Tiejun with his fingers, how much does it cost to make strips, how much does plastic film cost, how much does fertilizer cost, how much does it cost to use pesticides, how much does it cost to convert into labor points, etc., and it takes almost 120 or 30 yuan to build a 400-square-meter greenhouse. In addition, if the weather is too cold, the plastic film should be thickened, and electric lights should be installed in the greenhouse for heating, and the investment will increase by dozens of yuan. As for the cultivation of mushrooms in the bomb shelter, it is much cheaper, mainly because of the lighting and cultivation substrates, strains and pesticides.
Long Tiejun listened very calmly, and his eyebrows didn't tremble.
Although this is a working meeting with a provisional surname, the discussion is also a purely technical work and does not involve any sensitive issues. However, once he entered the conference room and sat in the chairman's position, Long Tiejun returned to the majesty and tranquility of the region's top leader, and no longer easily showed even a trace of emotion.
After Tang Haitian finished reporting on the issue of pure technical surnames, Long Tiejun turned his head slightly and looked at Yan Yucheng on the left.
This matter was experimented in Xiangyang County, and it is natural that a pilot project should be carried out in Xiangyang County first, and after the pilot is successful, a set of methods and models will be explored before it can be considered for promotion in the whole region.
When it comes to the big moves of the whole county, Yan Yucheng, the director of the county Revolutionary Committee, will decide on it, which is also the proper meaning of the question.
Yan Yucheng coughed and said: "Director Long, that's right, we plan to pilot greenhouse planting in a few brigades on the outskirts of Xiangyang Town first, well, let's get about two hundred first, and if there are more, the county finance can't afford it." ”
Long Tiejun nodded slightly.
Two hundred greenhouses, according to Tang Haitian's algorithm just now, need to invest about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. It's not that Xiangyang County's finances are so poor that they only have 30,000 yuan in cash, but that they are approaching the end of the year, and there are many places to use money. Yan Yucheng is not easy to be a family.
"Cultivating mushrooms in bomb shelters can be vigorously promoted. We are ready to assign them to the districts and communes, and where there are bomb shelters, we will be responsible. The prefecture only provides technical support and cultures. The other districts and communes settled on their own. ”
"And another question of ownership?"
Long Tiejun asked.
This is an important question.
Yan Yucheng was slightly stunned, they only thought about how to promote, and this matter had not yet been considered.
"Collectively owned, of course. The county finance will allocate the funds first, and the town will deploy them in a unified manner. When there is a harvest, the financial appropriation will be returned first, and the rest, part of it will be handed over to the county finance, and part of it will be left in Xiangyang Town, of course, the brigade will also leave a little surplus. ”
Liu Jincai added.
He is the first deputy director, and replying to Long Tiejun's questions at this time is not arrogant.
Long Tiejun nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw Wei Yuhua's mouth open, looking very eager to report, he stopped and looked at Wei Yuhua.
"Comrade Yuhua, please speak."
Wei Yuhua was just eager to speak, Long Tiejun really called his name, but he was sweating, and he didn't care about taking out his handkerchief, raised his sleeve and wiped it, looking very funny.
Long Tiejun smiled rarely.
"Comrade Yuhua, don't be nervous, speak freely."
"Yes, yes, Director Long...... It's like this, the Daping thermal power plant is under construction, well, we ...... We plan to build a few supporting projects......" Wei Yuhua said as he stammered while wiping his sweat.
"Daping Thermal Power Plant, that's a big project directly under the Ministry of Electric Power, you dare to make up your mind?"
Long Tiejun said a little teasingly.
For the cautious subordinates, Long Tiejun still deliberately maintained it, not too seriously, so as not to frighten people.
"No, no, how dare we attack the idea of a power plant...... We want to build a supporting cement plant and several lime plants...... This is built in Shanbei District......"
Long Tiejun's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes flickered.
"Shanbei District...... Well, that's a good idea, a good idea. ”
Long Tiejun recognized it in person, which was very rare, Wei Yuhua was encouraged, and his speech became fluent: "Yes, Director Long, you are also clear about the situation in Shanbei District, you are too poor." The meaning of our county is to take this opportunity to explore a feasible way for Shanbei District to get out of the mountains. ”
"Yes, yes!"
Long Tiejun couldn't hold back his excitement and couldn't help but pat the table.
"Comrade Yuhua, this is the right thing to do, that is, we must proceed more from reality and do more practical things for the people."
Long Tiejun has been the number one leader in Baozhou for four or five years, and he doesn't dare to say anything about the surnames and work abilities of the main responsible persons of one city and seven counties under him, and he basically knows it by heart. This Wei Yuhua couldn't get into his eyes no matter what, that is, he was a retired old cadre waiting for a bastard. Speaking of Zhou Peiming, he is a person on Zhou Peiming's line, and he has always been cautious and does not make any mistakes. Naturally, there is no pioneering spirit at all. Fortunately, the industrial base of Xiangyang County is too poor, so he can be mixed up for a day. Long Tiejun was already thinking about transferring him to an idle department in the region for retirement when he adjusted the cadres next year.
Unexpectedly, today, such a cadre who is about to retire from the second line actually broke out to find a way for Shanbei District, the poorest district in the region, and this path sounds quite feasible.
Long Tiejun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his good mood was not much better than when he visited the greenhouse planting and cultivating mushrooms just now.
Wei Yuhua was affirmed, and the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly.
"Comrade Yuhua, talk about your thinking specifically, and see if there is anything I can help with."
When Long Tiejun said this, it was tantamount to fully recognizing the county's plan. Several leaders of Xiangyang County glanced at each other, and they were all overjoyed. Yan Yucheng nodded encouragingly at Wei Yuhua.
"Director Long, it would be great to have your support...... There is no problem with the lime plant, and the technology and capital can be solved in the county. That's it, this cement plant, the technical force in our county is too weak, and the gap in funding is also very large, and it is difficult to overcome it by our own ability......"
Long Tiejun nodded, he knew the industrial base of Xiangyang County.
"Comrade Yucheng, Comrade Yuhua, your county will come up with a plan as soon as possible, make it more detailed, and hand it over to the region, and I can think of a way for you to deal with the technical and financial problems. Well, Comrade Li Tao should also send a plan to him and ask for his opinion first. ”
The comrades in the county were all grateful to Long Tiejun for his thoughtfulness and nodded.
Comrade Li Tao is the deputy director in charge of the industrial port of the Baozhou Regional Revolutionary Committee. Long Tiejun, as the number one leader, was able to think so comprehensively and reminded him, which shows his care and love for his subordinates. Beneath his majestic exterior, there is actually an extremely rich sense of comradeship. This is probably the characteristic of a military cadre like him who has experienced the test of life and death in the rain of bullets.
On the battlefield, love for one's comrades is actually love for oneself.
At the end of the meeting, Yan Yucheng and the comrades in the county were affectionate and invited Long Tiejun to dine in the county. Long Tiejun agreed with a smile.
"I'm here to taste what the vegetables you make in the winter taste."
The chef of a guest house is self-defeating and shows off his skills fiercely. Stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried shredded pork with green beans, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes were all served on the table, although they were all home-cooked dishes, but Long Tiejun was very satisfied. Before leaving, he shook hands with the comrades in the county one by one and said goodbye, and finally held Yan Yucheng's hand again, patted it, and said earnestly: "Yucheng, good job!" We must guard against arrogance and rashness, and make persistent efforts! ”;
