Yang Guoqiang looked at Zhang Fugui and said, "Fugui, you can agree to what Manager Chen said." ”

Zhang Fugui was a little impatient, so he asked and said to Manager Chen: "Then how much does Manager Chen plan to lend me?" ”

"I can only borrow 5,000 yuan, I don't dare to call the shots if you think it's feasible, then I'll prepare loan materials, if you think it's less, then I can't help it, after all, this is already a loan for you in the face of Secretary Yang, otherwise I don't dare to lend you miles."

After hearing this, Zhang Fugui gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "This 5,000 yuan is not even enough to buy construction equipment, let alone buy the materials needed for construction, what should I do." ”

Da Zhuang, who was standing on the side, pulled Fugui aside, and whispered in Fugui's ear: "Fugui! It seems that this Manager Chen can only lend us 5,000 yuan at most, although this 5,000 yuan is not much, but we can put our engineering team on hold first, and take the loan money to build a kiln to burn bricks, and the 5,000 yuan can almost build two brick kilns, and when we have income after three months, it is not too late to take out a loan! ”

Manager Chen was a little impatient, so he said coldly: "Have you thought about it?" Is this a loan or not? ”

Zhang Fugui felt that what Da Zhuang said made some sense, after all, this was also the most reliable way at present, so he hurriedly said from his mouth: "Loan, don't be in vain." ”

In this way, Zhang Fugui and Zhang Dazhuang borrowed 5,000 yuan in the credit cooperatives of Qilong Town, he signed the loan contract with Manager Chen, and after completing the handover procedures, he thanked Yang Guoqiang, secretary of the town party committee, and went straight to Zhangjia Village after coming out of the credit cooperative.

On the way back to the village, Zhang Fugui discussed with Zhang Dazhuang how to use the money, and how to explain to the villagers that he wanted to temporarily disband the engineering team to build a brick kiln, after all, he set off the frenzy in the hearts of the villagers, if he said that the engineering team was disbanded in a blink of an eye, it would chill the hearts of the whole village, in order to be able to deal with this matter, he had to think about how to tell the villagers.

After Fugui and Da Zhuang returned to the village, the whole village heard the news that Fugui had returned from Qilong Town, and they gathered one by one with joy, and they all shouted, "Fugui, how is it!" Is this loan coming? ”

In order to cover up the displeasure in his heart, Zhang Fugui had to force a smile, "That's it, this loan is here, but it's a little less, because the credit union in our dragon town wants to see if the people in our village can use this money to a better place, what is this better place, they all say that good steel has to be used on the blade, so let's consider using the money from these loans to build a brick kiln first, and then build a house later." ”

The villagers listened carefully, but they didn't hear Zhang Fugui mention the engineering team, so they anxiously asked: "Rich! What about our engineering team? ”

"Aren't we going to use the money we borrowed to build a kiln and burn bricks? There was no money to buy those construction equipment, so the engineering team put it on hold for the first time. ”

The villagers were a little puzzled when they heard Fugui say this, so they all shouted and scolded: "Fugui, is this engineering team dispersed, is it that what you Fugui said has become a fart." ”

Seeing the villagers scolding him, Zhang Fugui was a little speechless, after all, he first proposed to build the engineering team, and he also vowed to lead the villagers to make a fortune, but after being said by the villagers, his heart was cold, and he felt that he was too young to think about these many things.

Da Zhuang, who was standing beside Fugui, scolded the villagers angrily, "You all scolded you one by one, who is Fugui doing all this for, not to make our village people live a better life, why are your hearts so black!" Not only did he not care about Fugui but scolded him, just now Fugui said that the money of this loan will first build a kiln to burn bricks, and when we burn the bricks to make money, the credit union will give us a loan, and then we will pull up the pole team of the engineering team to build a house and build a house! You can't turn your brains one by one, and you only care about the little ninety-nine in your heart. ”

After being said by Zhang Dazhuang like this, everyone suddenly fell silent, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak again.

Just when everyone didn't dare to speak, Liu Laohan of Liujia Village came over, Liu Laohan knew that he was an outsider in the village, and it was not easy to say anything, but he couldn't stand it, so he stood up and said: "Everyone knows that I Liu Laohan is a good hand at burning bricks and kilns in these ten miles and eight townships, isn't it that Zhang Village Chief is a bold person, come to Liujia Village to invite the old man I, I can't do this kiln burning brick work, just now I heard you scolding and scolding Village Chief Zhang, although I am not from Zhangjia Village, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with me, But you all scolded the village chief, I just want to ask everyone, this village chief Zhang didn't owe everyone anything, and second, he didn't take everyone's money, what are you scolding? ”

"It's hard to find a good village chief like Village Chief Zhang, he can lead everyone to engage in a responsibility system, and lead everyone to live a good life, but one by one, not only do you have no gratitude, but you also scold Village Chief Zhang, you ask yourself, who is he for?"

Zhang Fugui knew that it was useless for the people in the village to be so blindly angry, it was better to use actual labor, so he smiled and said: "Folks, Fugui knows that Fugui has done something wrong, and he set up this engineering team without thinking about it clearly, but we guarantee that this is only temporary, and when we make money from burning brick kilns, we will definitely be able to build a house, which is also Fugui's commitment to everyone, If we haven't built a house in Zhangjia Village three years later, everyone will dig a pit and bury me Zhang Fugui, I guarantee that my father Zhang Youcai, as well as my daughter-in-law and son, will not look for the villagers. ”

The villagers all know that they are wrong, and this body is like being beaten with chicken blood, and there is no place to use countless strength, and they are all clamoring to build a brick kiln.

Liu Laohan has already chosen a place to make a brick kiln on the way here, this place is at the foot of Eagle Mountain, one is because the bottom of Eagle Mountain is flat and easy to transport, and the other is because the foot of the mountain is spacious, and the bricks burned out are not afraid of no place to put them.

The sturdy men in the village all carried nail rakes on their shoulders, carried two dustpans, and some carried hoes, followed Liu Laohan closely to Eagle Mountain, ready to pick up the nail rakes and start cleaning up the weeds around the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Fugui also picked up the hoe and dug the weeds under his feet, and said to Da Zhuang while drying: "I estimate, let's build two brick kilns first, see how much capital is needed, and after the brick kiln is built, see how much coal we use, how much mud, how many people to work." Looking back, you and Uncle Liu will calculate how many bricks can be burned in a cart of mud, and how much money each brick will cost. And remember to calculate how much it costs to burn a kiln brick and how much you can get by selling a brick, but you must calculate it clearly, so that you can see how much profit we can make in three months. ”

Da Zhuang said: "Okay, when I'm done, I'll go to Uncle Liu and ask him to calculate it with me, after all, he has a clear mind in this regard." ”

Within a few days, there were two more brick kilns at the foot of the Eagle Mountain, and the surrounding weeds were also cleared cleanly, and the site was quickly leveled, and the first cart of soil was pulled into the site, and the first batch of bricks were beaten out under the guidance of Liu Laohan, and Da Zhuang took part of the money borrowed from the credit union to buy the first cart of coal.

The new brick kiln also began to light the first fire to burn the new kiln, the brick kiln just burned a few days before someone came to place the first order, although the order is only 400 bricks, but this is a good start after all, things are going very smoothly, the brick kiln is in full swing, the village people are full of passion and confidence.

Facing the passionate mood of the villagers, Zhang Fugui became a little calm, after all, because he was not thoughtful enough, he almost didn't break up the villagers, so he thought twice about every decision he made, and if it was estimated that there was no problem, he would discuss it with Da Zhuang and Liu Laohan to solve it.

This brick kiln is burning like the sun and the earth, and everyone who has come to buy it says that the bricks burned in Zhangjiacun are very good, and the brick heart is burned thoroughly, not like those black-hearted people who burn the brick heart is still black.

With more and more bricks burned in the brick kiln, the performance is getting better and better, some people in the Yanjia Commune are anxious, and they also want to burn the brick kiln to make money, and the people who burn the brick kiln are slowly increasing, and the bricks burned out in the brick kiln in Zhangjia Village are more and more, and they are everywhere at the foot of Yingshan Mountain, and these bricks will not make money, which can make Zhang Fugui sad to death.

This little night's wealth called Da Zhuang and Liu Laohan, ready to discuss together how to sell these bricks placed at the foot of Eagle Mountain?

"Rich! We Zhangjia Village has only built a brick kiln for more than a month, the Yanjia Commune, Lijia Village, Fanjia Village those villages have begun to build kilns to burn bricks one after another, so the bricks of our Zhangjia Village are only seen to be made, not sold, these bricks can not be exchanged for money there, our brick kiln began to burn a lot of bricks, but now the bricks are more and more day by day, if this continues, the brick kiln in Zhangjia Village will have to drink the northwest wind, you have to take the idea is the mile", Zhang Dazhuang said.

"That's it, I'm also worried about wealth! I just don't know what to do. ”

Liu Laohan burned bricks in the early years, of course he knew how to make a profit, "Rich! This brick burning brick to buy bricks is particular, this into seven out of three door door road old man I still know more or less, you say that if we each brick is cheaper than other brick kilns one or two cents, and then send this brick to the buyer, do you say people do it? ”

Zhang Fugui's eyes lit up: "Dry, definitely dry, there is a cheap do not take advantage of unless you are an idiot, this brick is less than a centimeter and it is also sent, even if I buy it myself, I will do it, but we only have two carriages in Zhangjia Village, and it is okay to go closer, if the place is far away, it will definitely be a loss to go back and forth." ”

"Village Chief Zhang, don't panic, I heard that there are two tractors in this Yan family commune, we can pay for them to help pull it."

"But in the long run, it's not cost-effective, don't lose money at that time, don't say it, even the wages of the people in our village can't be paid, so it's ......."

"Old man, I calculated, as long as we drag it out for a month and buy all the bricks that we have too much backlog now, we will have money to think about buying a tractor, and as for the wages of the people in the village, we can record them in the account book first, and then pay wages when we have money in the future, you see if you can do it."
