Chapter 189: Reclamation of Camellia Oleifera Forest

"Secretary, there may be a problem with this, do you want to think about it again?"

Wuyang swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "What are you for?" ”

Chen Lei said with a smile: "The Electric Power Bureau is a hornet's nest, so let's not poke it." Before we came to the county, the county's electric gate was pulled from time to time, but after the county granted land to the Electric Power Bureau, there was no more incident. If we blow their minds again this time, I'm afraid that pulling the gate will become commonplace again. ”

Isn't that all irony? While we are building a power station, we are worried about the power bureau's shutdown, which is really unreasonable. ”

"This is no way to do it, our avionics hub is funded by the state to build, built of course is the country's power department to manage, this is the country's policy, as for some things are the personal behavior of specific staff, there are many reasons for power rationing, and it cannot be generalized." Director Zhu said.

Chen Lei said: "Secretary, forget it." Let's not meet them in general. Let's just take care of the power plant. ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Chen, let's either do whatever they want, or they want to hit us in the face, hit the left cheek, let's put the right cheek up, or we will make a fight with them, and show their magic to see who is more powerful." ”

Chen Lei slowly picked the fish bones and said with a smile: "Secretary, what are the chances of winning when you make trouble with them, and what do you want to achieve?" ”

"The odds, think about it, Lao Chen, there's really no chance of winning. As for my purpose, it is to stop restricting our electricity in the past few years when electricity is in a tight period, and nothing else. ”

"Secretary, I think. Didn't our county government give them a piece of land? Let's just spend a few million more. Build office buildings for them. If we can obtain the commitment of the Electric Power Bureau, let our enterprises develop and produce within three years, and do not limit our electricity, we will not have to invest, anyway, it is a violation of the policy, and the money sent away will be worth it. Besides, there is a shortage of electricity in the country. Basically, there is a law, for example, this year there will be a shortage of electricity, the country will increase investment, and next year the electricity will be sufficient, we will seize the time to develop production, and wait until the next round of power shortage, our economic strength does not know how many times the road has grown. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Lao Chen, you are the so-called Taoguang Yanghui." It's a good way, but we still have to requisition the land for the power plant, and we still have to do civil engineering. Bioenergy generators still have to be installed, and tens of thousands of tons of coal will have to be stored there. In the future, you just need to install the generator. ”

"Secretary, after I level the land, I will build a fence and strive to store 100,000 tons of coal this year." Chen Lei said.

Director Zhu said: "Secretary Li, now the price of coal has risen sharply, the coal used in the domestic boiler of our headquarters was 260 yuan a ton the year before last, and it reached 300 yuan per ton last year. ”

"Lao Chen, if you have money, buy more, but you have to arrange competent personnel, formulate rules and regulations, and prevent the occurrence of cattiness, so as not to harm the cadres when you get it."

Wuyang had already eaten enough, put down the chopsticks, Director Zhu handed over a cigarette, and Wuyang declined. Director Zhu lit one by himself and took a beautiful sip, "Secretary Li, I think your suggestion is very interesting, and it hurts the cadres." Ha Lu Ha. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "Director Zhu, in fact, many of our cadres embarked on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes because the system was not strict and the management was lax, and they thought that there were advantages to take advantage of and loopholes to exploit. If we had tightened the fence in the first place, there would have been no loopholes to exploit. For example, we will remit the project money to your bureau directly, and your engineering agency does not have the power to dispose of it at will, so you can't put it in your own pocket or give it away. ”

Director Zhu said: "Secretary Li, this is indeed the case, after our project money is remitted to the bureau, the bureau only pays us salaries and bonuses, fortunately, the county magistrate Chen gave us the construction task of supporting facilities, otherwise the brothers really have opinions." ”

Chen Lei said: "Secretary, that's the case, our supporting facilities are mainly canals and roads, and the migrant workers who were able to be invited at that time all participated in the slope protection. After the river was cut off, Director Zhu and his manpower were redundant, and after consulting with him, I decided to hand over the slightly wider canals and roads to them for construction. You see, it has only been less than a month, and the main project of the irrigation project and the road has been basically completed, and the quality is very good, and the cost is about 30% lower than that of migrant workers. ”

Wuyang smiled, "Director Zhu, take care of your private money by yourself, don't stain the hands of our County Magistrate Chen." As long as you can guarantee the quality, I will not report it to your bureau. ”

"Secretary Li, working for a parent official like you is very happy. After finishing the civil works of the power plant, can Secretary Li still help us arrange some civil works, I guarantee that the quality is good and the price is cheap. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "You Director Zhu Da uses the oil in the bureau and uses the rest time of the workers, is it okay if the price is not cheap?" There are indeed a lot of civil works in our county recently, you can go to County Magistrate Qi with County Magistrate Chen and ask him to arrange your project, my girlfriend's classmate also has civil engineering, I will leave you a phone number, can you contact it yourself? ”

"Xie Lu Xie, thank you so much Secretary Xie Li." Director Zhu said with a smile.

Due to the early eating time, it was only 12 o'clock after the three people had lunch, Wuyang said: "Director Zhu, County Magistrate Chen, shall we go to the address of the power plant to see?" ”

Director Zhu said: "Okay, Secretary Li, will you wait here?" I'll just walk back slowly and get some exercise. ”

A few minutes of driving is in front of a small hill, which is only a few meters from the road, and in the middle is a few fields of corn, the corn has long been harvested, and the straw is still there, and the dead leaves on the straw make a rustling sound in the cold wind.

On the hill, there are all shrubs, no big trees, three people came down and went around, Chen Lei said: "According to the villagers, this used to be the sweet potato field of the production team, which could produce a lot of sweet potatoes every year, and then it was distributed to each family." It is slowly abandoned. ”

Wuyang said: "Those fields under the mountain. It must have been cultivated land. How is it also deserted? What should the villagers do when they eat? ”

Chen Lei said: "These fields are similar to our flooded fields this time, they were originally outside the ration fields, and they were cut off when they encountered floods, and the water sources of these fields all need to be pumped from the river, so no one cultivates them." But if we expropriate, there will still be people who will come out and ask for money. ”

"Lao Chen, we must give money, just pay attention. Be sure to settle it clearly at one time to avoid trouble in the future. By the way, the shrubs on this mountain may have a few million catties, let's let the villagers take them first, don't lose what you don't want, and keep them as a kind of bioenergy, it's best not to let them burn completely, you can make charcoal, and now the price is more than a pound. Or some of them are smoking. Wuyang said.

Director Zhu smiled and said, "Secretary Li, you are the number one who grasps big things and small things." You've got this kind of thing in mind. My wife, a distant cousin, came to play some time ago, and he fell in love with these shrubs and was going to come over to burn charcoal. Their family is in the western mountains, the price of charcoal is only about 4 cents, he burns about 20,000 catties a year, but now there are no shrubs on the mountains of his house, if you go to buy charcoal to burn, there is no profit, I also promised to help him contact the villagers. ”

Chen Lei said: "Director Zhu, it's okay now, your brother-in-law wants to burn charcoal, and we even need one less stoker." When the time comes, connect the tap water and make the furnace of the generator larger, so that you can generate electricity and burn charcoal. There are tens of thousands of acres of such shrubs in the irrigation area of our avionics hub, all of which grew in the sweet potato and peanut fields in the past, and now that there is water for irrigation, those fields can be cultivated again. ”

Director Zhu said: "It's pitiful for the villagers to ask for money, and the best thing is not to look for them, we dig up the bushes and leave." If 6 generators generate electricity every day, it is possible for my brother-in-law to recover 2,000 catties of charcoal, and counting the time spent collecting the shrubs first, there are an average of several hundred pieces per day, which is enough. ”

Chen Lei said: "Director Zhu, you can call your brother-in-law in the afternoon, I will bring people from the county to come over tomorrow to requisition the land, and you will find the villagers to borrow these winter fallow fields to put aside the shrubs, and you can start construction after measuring it." ”

Director Zhu said, "Okay. Then you guys go ahead, and I'll go back to the construction site. Bye, pray. ”

After saying goodbye, the two drove to the irrigation area, and after a few minutes, the terrain gradually rose, and the vehicle turned onto the newly built cement road, next to which was the same newly built irrigation canal.

Wuyang stopped the car and looked at the road and irrigation canals. Although it is a layman, I saw that the cement slurry of the highway pavement was shaken out, and the wall of the irrigation canal was relatively thick, so I knew that the quality of the road was still okay, especially when I saw that the irrigation canal and the highway were covered with straw from beginning to end, which was both anti-drying and anti-freezing.

The two drove forward again, and saw an old man sitting on the side of the road eating, and an old woman next to him was serving him tea.

"Uncle, you are busy, is this camellia forest your own?" Wuyang said.

"This is my son's, and my own has been cultivated. Young man, how do you have time to go to the countryside to play? The old man said with a smile.

"Passing by here, it's not easy to see that you are so old and still insist on working. Why doesn't your son dig it himself? ”

"My son is in business in the city, my grandson is in high school, and my daughter-in-law has to cook for them every day, so I'm the only one to do it. Actually, it's nothing, I'm used to it, and I'm not tired. ”

"Uncle, have you received the money for the reclamation?"

The old man said: "The township is settled on a monthly basis, and my own 16 acres of camellia forest were reclaimed last month, and I received 960 yuan at the end of the month, which happened to make up for the money to buy phosphate fertilizer." ”

"You have quite a lot of people here, how much land do you reclaim every day?"

"As for my son's land and I, because I usually cut down the miscellaneous trees in the Camellia oleifera forest, even digging up the roots, it can be reclaimed relatively quickly, and I can dig about one acre a day. Others may be slower, and it's good to be able to dig 6 points a day. Young man, my old guy just rarely gets these phosphate fertilizers up the mountain, and he has to ask a tractor to transport them every day. ”

"Uncle, can you collect more tea oil if you reclaim it like this?"

"I must be able to collect more tea oil, otherwise my old guy won't have anything to do." This year, my son and I harvested 30,000 catties of camellia seeds, and next year we will have at least 60,000 catties. I think it was 79 years ago, when the camellia forest had just been distributed to my family. I'll reclaim it all over again. No fertilization was applied at that time. That year's output reached 50,000 catties. Now that the tree has grown and fertilized, it will be harvested more. ”

"Uncle, we wish you another bumper harvest next year. Can you tell us about any other difficulties in the production process of Camellia oleifera? ”

"Tell you, young man, you can't help it. It's that every year, someone steals camellia seeds, and it doesn't matter if you steal some of them. The main reason is that in order not to steal it, everyone picked it before the time came, and the oil rate was not high, such a phenomenon is in these counties, can you have a way? ”

Wuyang didn't say anything, this question is really difficult to answer, and I have to go back to research. "Uncle, let's go back and think of a way, and we will satisfy you when the time comes."

The old man said, "Young man. Who are you, you have a very big mouth. ”

Chen Lei said: "Uncle." This is Secretary Li of our county party committee. ”

"Yo, when I actually saw this jeep, I should have thought that it was Secretary Li, everyone is like this, Secretary Li, I'm sorry."

Wuyang smiled and said: "Uncle, it's okay, we are back to life for the first time, and we will be familiar for the second time, you are busy, we are leaving." ”

After leaving the old man, the two went to other irrigation stations in the irrigation area to take a look, and also went to several construction sites for slope protection. Everyone was busy, and no one came to greet them.

Passing by some places, I saw many villagers building the diversion ditch from the irrigation canal to the field, not the same as the irrigation canal, the irrigation ditch is cast with cement, and the diversion ditch is built with red bricks on both sides, and then cement mortar is pasted on top of the red bricks. On some hillsides, there are also some openings on both sides of the irrigation canal, which is probably what Chen Lei said, where are the sweet potato and peanut fields in the past.

The most common thing they saw on the roadside was the Camellia oleifera forest, and there were many villagers who were reclaiming it, but they didn't see any young and middle-aged villagers, either old men or big boys. Wuyang thought that it was almost impossible to bring the peasants back to the land now, but this also happened to implement the industrialization of agriculture.

"Lao Chen, do we have some farmers in our county who have contracted more land? Is there a farmer who specializes in planting and breeding? ”

"I don't know the way, but the way is the farmhouse. Maybe only Minister Qi knows, let's go back and ask him, right? Secretary, are you considering taking the road of industrialization and intensification of agriculture? ”

Wuyang said: "I think so, but I don't know what the foundation of the Dao is. ”

Chen Lei said: "Secretary, I am familiar with the situation in several townships, and basically I have not found any signs of industrialization and intensification, and the burden on our shoulders is not light." If the secretary trusts me, when the avionics hub is built, I will be in charge of agriculture, and the worse the foundation, the more achievements will be achieved. ”

"Lao Chen, you can do some work now to make the county's agricultural industry more comprehensive, for example, won't the irrigation area flood tens of thousands of acres of rice fields? We can organize farmers to plant some lake lotus, lotus seeds, water chestnuts, etc. in these paddy fields, and let them grow naturally after the avionics hub is impounded. ”

Chen Lei smiled: "Secretary, you are really thoughtful. This is indeed a good way, and there is money to be made by growing these things in regular rice fields, let alone in the water of this reservoir area. When I returned to the construction site, I called the leaders in charge of several townships and asked them to organize the planting. ”

Even Wuyang and Chen Lei didn't expect that these casual words would create a pillar industry in the county. When Wuyang came back from the capital in July, he saw more than 10,000 acres of lotus flowers, and Chen Lei said that there were nearly 60,000 acres. After the autumn, the wholesalers of lotus seeds in the Lujiang market only need to pick up the goods in their own stalls, and then, the lake lotus root is fully listed, and the adult calf thick lotus root is white and tender, which is very popular. Chen Lei said that the wholesale price of lotus seeds is 20 yuan, the retail price of lake lotus root is 4 yuan to 6 yuan, and the output value of 60,000 mu reaches 450 million yuan, which is still the most conservative estimate. These benefits are labor-intensive, and virtually cost-free.

Sending Chen Lei back to the construction site of the avionics hub and returning to the county party committee office, it was almost a day. Called Secretary Zhou and contacted the evening to pass, Secretary Zhou said: "Xiaoqian left in the morning, her grandparents sent her to the East China Sea, her mother is sad at home, you have to accompany her at home at night, you can come over." ”

Wuyang said: "Uncle Zhou, there are two kinds of statues here, red and yellow, and there are some differences in size, do you think you take the big one, and bring both colors?" ”

"Okay, so be it." After Secretary Zhou finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wuyang called Mayor Zhu again and said that he would go over to pay a visit in the evening, and Mayor Zhu said: "I have arranged a task to receive the leaders of brother cities in the evening, and you can only come a little later." ”

I drove back to the city in a jeep and changed to an Audi to my home, and the sound of the piano was still floating in the house. Among the wives, Yu Xiaoxiao's piano level is the highest, Huang Li, Pei Lei, Gao Xiaoya will also, now they are teaching every day, Zhu Qing, Shuangshuang, and the progress of the pair is not small, Chen Mingfang is a little slower, only Xiao Qimei, who doesn't want to learn at all, and said: "There are so many people in the family, I just need to appreciate it." "Liu Rong is an older sister, and her piano level can be compared with Yu Xiaoxiao.

After entering the door, his mother saw him and said, "Mengxin will leave in the morning, and Huang Li will also leave tomorrow morning." Her maternity leave is about to expire, and she will go back to Beijing directly after arriving in the southwest. ”

Xiao Qimei came down from upstairs and said, "Wuyang, I want to escort Sister Huang Li over together, and I will come back after their mother and son arrive in the capital, okay?" ”

Wuyang is very happy, although there are many wives at home, but Yan Yuxia and Zhang Mengyu are gone, Gao Xiaoya is gone, Zhang Mengxin is gone, Chen Mingfang is also pregnant, and the others are breastfeeding and managing the construction of the factory, Xiao Qimei can volunteer to escort Huang Li, Wuyang is a little grateful.

"Okay, I'll just work hard for you, Seventh Sister, how about letting your brother go out to contact the silverware sales point last time?"

The seventh sister said: "I called that night, and my brother and a few uncles' brothers quickly went out to contact me, and later my father said that they had already remitted some money from home, and it should have been something to gain." ”

"That's good. Who's playing the piano upstairs? What about others? Wuyang asked.

"It's Sister Liu Rong, and Sister Huang Li is at home, Xiaoying and they are all gone, aren't they going to cut the ribbon tomorrow? There have been a lot of guests, including American, British, French, Italian, etc., I don't know the specifics, but I know that Lu Dao is some businessman, and he will go to your county tomorrow. ”

Wuyang smiled, "Seventh sister, they are all doing me a favor, you go to send Xiaoli, you are also helping, thank you very much." ”

The seventh sister smiled: "Wuyang, you will see the outside world if you say so, we are a family, and we should do something at home." If you don't sit, is there anything else? ”

"Yes, I'm going to Xiaobao to get a few things, I can only drive there."

Find Xiaobao and ask him to take out a few large statues, Xiaobao said: "Brother Wuyang, you can move it with me, it's all packed in a box." ”

When I arrived at the warehouse, there were rows of rosewood boxes on the shelves, and Wuyang asked, "Are these all cast with residue after melting?" ”

Xiaobao smiled and said: "It's all, but I can't see that it is cast, it's better than carving, not only the water is on the grade, the color is also better, and the cost is low, the cost price of a statue, this kind of 50 centimeters high, less than 10,000 yuan, but this box, I don't know what the price of you buy wood, just the manual fee is 2,000 yuan." ”

Wuyang said: "Are these box carvings hand-carved or machine-carved? ”

"Of course, it is carved by machine, if it is carved by hand, a master may not carve one in 10 days. Brother Wuyang, the box can be filled with statues, and it can also be used as a base, you see, isn't this beautiful? "Xiaobao is set up for him to see.

Wuyang smiled: "Yes, the idea is very ingenious, and it is much cheaper than finding a black jade to carve the base." You help me carry two of them into the car. ”

Xiaobao said: "How many of these statues do you need?" (To be continued......)

PS: I wish you all a happy May Day.
