In fact, Zhai Shuyi has long known that all towns and villages do not want afforestation tasks. The previous old director resigned from his post because of this incident and his age. Now that the old secretary is the director, he can't get a break, so he can only report to the county in the end, and let the county press down on the townships and towns.

Everyone knows that afforestation is beneficial, not only can it green mountains and rivers, but the state also gives a certain amount of subsidies, but it cannot be implemented. The main thing is that the common people want to herd the sheep, although the mountains are bare, but they also have to drive the sheep to the mountains to gnaw the dry grass roots that they have gnawed many times.

Once trees are planted on the mountain, there is no place for the common people to graze their sheep. That's quite a considerable income, wool and cashmere, mutton and sheepskin, etc., and all the expenses for a year are counted on the sheep!

"Xiao Zhai, in fact, there are not many barren hills and barren slopes in our mountains, mainly in the middle and upper part of the slope and the top of the mountain, the lower part of the slope and other slightly flatter places are all planted. Therefore, it is difficult to press down the afforestation task, and the people do not accept it! Wang Wei looked up at the ceiling.

"Old secretary, it's autumn, and it's the season of abundant water and plants. But you go and look at our barren hills and slopes, which are white and bare, and you can't see a single grass more than an inch. Especially in winter and spring, the yellow sand is pervasive, covering the sky and the sun. If you continue to graze like this, I'm afraid you won't even have a place to eat. Zhai Shuyi covered his chest, extremely distressed.

"We all know the truth, and the people know better than us. But the common people are too poor, so they expect to see the sheep sold for a few dollars to support their families. Cutting off the road to herd sheep is equivalent to cutting off the way of life for the common people! ”

"Old secretary, Township Chief Zhai, in fact, there is no contradiction between watching sheep and planting trees, and there is no contradiction." Long Hao looked at Wang Wei and Zhai Shuyi.

On this occasion, it is said that Long Hao has no right to speak. The old secretary and Township Chief Zhai are talking about work, he is a common man, even if he doesn't avoid it, it's a little inappropriate to talk casually, and it can also be said that he can't do anything.

That's afforestation and grazing, the problem of the common people eating and surviving, even the respected old secretary can't handle it well, what does a flat-headed ordinary person want to do? What can you do?

However, Long Hao just wanted to do it, and he really had a way.

More than a decade after the previous life, the ecological environment of this area, including the surrounding area, deteriorated dramatically. The high-level leaders made a painful decision to implement the closure of mountains and ban grazing, and at the same time withdraw all sloping farmland and wind-blown sandy land, plant trees and grasses, and rest and recuperate.

Since then, animal husbandry such as sheep and cattle has developed rapidly. Yes, that's right, it's not stagnation, let alone a loss of life, but rapid development, and even rapid development in some regions.

In Zhendong County, for example, before the ban on grazing, the annual sheep breeding was less than 1 million, and in the best years, it was only 1.3 or 400 million. After the ban on grazing, the number of animals raised exceeded one million at the end of the second year, two million after five years, and three million after ten years, accounting for half of the farmers' income and financial income.

There is only one reason for being able to do this, and that is from grazing to captivity!

Long Hao has experienced this change, witnessed and participated in the whole process. He knew the difficulties at the beginning, and he was scolded and even besieged by the angry people, but in the end he survived.

The common people have also survived, including the government.

The main thing is that the environment on which it depends survives survived. Green mountains and clear waters are no longer a vision, nor is it a myth.

This is also what Long Hao dreamed of.

"Xiaolong, what are you talking about?" Zhai Shuyi looked at Long Hao.

"You kid, a stinky fart doll, what do you know? If you talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will whip you! Wang Wei raised his slap.

Dongzi also looked at Long Hao suspiciously. This Brother Hao, who has a lively mind in business, is ruthless in fighting, is not afraid of anyone, and dares to enter on any occasion, he is indeed better than ordinary people. But planting trees and herding sheep is not something that can be done by the bold, even if you have money.

"Township Chief Zhai, the old secretary, it's really not contradictory, it's just a little difficult at the beginning, as long as it goes well, it's nothing." Long Hao's attitude was quite sincere.

I can be regarded as a "person who has come over". Many of the experiences of previous lives can be completely copied, and the detours taken in previous lives can be completely avoided. As long as you do what you think, you can do better than in your previous life.

"Haozi, then tell me, how can it not contradict the law? It's okay, it's not a meeting, whatever. Wang Wei lit a cigarette.

"That is, if you have any ideas, just say them, if you can do them, we will do them, and if you can't do them, you should not say them." Zhai Shuyi encouraged.

"The old secretary, the head of Zhai Township, afforestation and sheep herding are major events, including almost all aspects of our countryside, which can be said to be a very huge series of projects. To put it simply, it is to put the sheep in a pen and raise them in captivity. In this way, barren mountains and slopes can rest and recuperate, and afforestation and grass planting can also be carried out. Long Hao took a puff of his cigarette.

"Circled? Will this work? What do sheep eat? Wang Wei asked.

"So it's a huge series of projects, and it's all about it. For example, first of all, there must be a special breeding pen, but it is not the kind of small earthen kiln that is dug in the hometown, it must be fully functional, can feed grass, can drink water, can keep warm and so on. It must be eating grass, but it's not the kind of random going to the field to cut a bundle of grass, after all, it's been a long time, and we're so dry here, we can't raise many sheep by cutting grass. ”

"What's the solution?" Zhai Shuyi asked.

"Planting grass! If you want to raise sheep, you have to allocate a considerable amount of land to grow grass. Of course, you don't have to grow it yourself, you can also plant it by someone else, and then pay for it to feed the sheep. You can also go to other villages, towns, or even other counties to buy grass, and as long as there is a need, someone will plant it. ”

"Sounds a little reasonable, but I don't know if it's okay?" Wang Wei touched his head.

"As long as it makes sense, it will definitely work, it depends on whether there is execution." Long Hao raised his head.

"What about the water? How to fix it? Zhai Shuyi asked again.

"Township Chief Zhai, didn't you have to drink water to watch sheep before? It's just a matter of effort, and it's not enough to pull the water to the sheepfold? Of course, it's not as simple as I said, because the most important thing we need there is water. People eat cellar water, and sheep can only go to the bottom of a deep ditch far away to drink bitter water. The point is that there is also little bitter water, and many villages, including several villages in Linxing, are drinking sheep in a ditch. Therefore, water is the bottleneck of sheep raising there. When you have water, you can do anything. Without water, everything is in vain. ”

"It's just that we are too short of water there, just like Brother Hao's village, many times money can't buy water. Sheep drink water once every two days for most of the year, and once a day in the summer when it is too hot. There are many water cellars, and only those who have stored a little water dare to look at the sheep, and those who have no water cellars or no water in the water cellars dare not look at the sheep at all, and they are thirsty to death. Dongzi shook her head.

"No matter how difficult things are, there are solutions. Just because we don't have water there doesn't mean there's water anywhere else. Just because we don't have grass there doesn't mean there's no grass anywhere else. Things are man-made, as long as you think about it, there will always be a way. Long Hao glanced at a few people in the room.

"Haozi is right, there will always be a way. I hadn't thought about it that much before, and I hadn't remembered how captivity worked. As soon as Long Hao said it just now, he felt a little bottom in his heart. Although I am only a small township chief, in the eyes of the common people, I can be regarded as a parent official. As long as you can do something for the people, especially if you can leave some assets for future generations, that is the greatest political achievement. Even if you can't do it, as long as you can have a good start, let future generations continue to do it. Zhai Shuyi straightened his waist.

"Well, that's a very constructive idea indeed. In this way, I will give you 10,000 acres of autumn afforestation tasks, five villages in our township, with an average of 2,000 mu per village, do you think it's okay? As long as you can take 10,000 acres, other townships and towns will have nothing to say, and I don't even need to report to the county, I can take them all. Wang Wei looked at Zhai Shuyi.

"Okay, no problem, you can rest assured!" Zhai Shuyi patted his chest.

"Old secretary, Township Chief Zhai, this kind of thing must not be averaged, according to the usual practice, we must first carry out a pilot. However, I have read a lot of information, some of which are relatively mature and more suitable for our ideas here, and there is no need to take some detours. As long as Township Chief Zhai is determined, he can choose one or two villages to start working directly. I don't know what our village thinks, but I believe that I will fully support Township Chief Zhai. Long Hao said.

"Haozi, what do you mean?" Wang Wei asked.
