Chapter 138: I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart
If it doesn't work, you have to try it to know.
Besides, Gu Beida didn't think about just playing virtual at the beginning.
The next day, he took Gu Xiaowu and Li Chengru to Miyun together.
At this time, the county party committee compound was still easy to enter, and the registration was done, and then the doorman made a phone call.
Although the father of Li Chengru's colleague did not agree to approve the slip, he still said hello because of his feelings.
Seeing the person in charge of agriculture in the county, Gu Bei explained his intentions, and the other party did not have the joy of investing a little stupid money, but looked uneasy.
In this regard, Gu Bei was not surprised at all, after all, the grain harvest is also part of the assessment of the county's work performance.
Besides, there has been no precedent for private land contracting!
In the event that the above policy suddenly changes, and the land allocated to the peasants is taken back, and the matter of private land contracting is turned over at that time, who will bear the responsibility?
Gu Bei looked at the other party's expression and knew what it meant, and said with a smile: "Leader, in fact, you can understand this matter from another angle, in the past, every villager also had their own land, and what to plant was all up to their own will, but now the field is divided into households, and since the right to use it belongs to the villagers, then it is the same reason, when the vegetables grow, I am responsible for the unified acquisition, and the right to use the land is still the villagers' own." ”
In this way, the issue of land contracting is not involved.
Gu Bei also felt depressed in his heart, there were too many restrictions on his hands and feet, no matter what he did, he had to look forward and backward.
But it can't be helped, reform!
Always cross the river by feeling the stones, step by step.
Hearing Gu Bei say this, the face of the person in charge obviously looked a little better.
"Moreover, the income from growing vegetables is obviously higher than the income from growing food, I say so, you don't object, right?"
The person in charge nodded, everyone knows that growing vegetables is more profitable than growing food, but ......
"Little comrade, what you said is indeed true, but you also have to take into account the actual situation, the villagers were really hungry and scared a few years ago, and now they are thinking about more food, planting vegetables on their own land, enough to eat themselves, you are now trying to let the people grow more vegetables and less food, I'm afraid it won't work."
This is not a prevarication, but the truth, today's farmers, only when they see their barns full of grain, will their hearts be steady, although money is important, but grain can fill their stomachs.
Compared to the stomach, money is nothing.
However, understanding is understanding, but for the economy to develop, the model of self-sufficiency is destined to be eliminated.
Gu Bei hurriedly revealed his plan and disfigured, and gradually, the person in charge was also moved.
Obviously, if it can really increase the income of ordinary people, this will be more attractive than the results brought about by grain production.
"Leader, we are here this time, mainly to ask you to be a witness, how to convince the fellow countrymen is our business, you can help us suppress the scene, to put it bluntly, borrow your prestige, we will be a fox and a tiger."
Of course, Gu Bei and the others can also go to the village by themselves and talk to the people directly, but this year, if there is no approval from the leaders above, I am afraid that no matter how much Gu Bei gives, the people will not dare to agree.
I still have to borrow a name.
Hearing Gu Bei say this, the person in charge was also very comfortable: "Since this is the case, I will make a witness, you will talk about specific things, but which village do you plan to choose." ”
Gu Xiaowu immediately reported the village where he and Li Sufen were sent to the village.
When the person in charge heard this, he said: "That's the poorest village in the county, and the grain harvested in previous years is not enough to eat, so I think it will be more difficult to let them grow vegetables." ”
Gu Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Leader, I understand what you said, I have lived there for a few years before. ”
As soon as the person in charge heard it, he understood, thinking that he had been taken care of by the villagers in that village, and he came back to repay his kindness and bring the villagers to get rich together.
"Okay, now that it's decided, let's go."
Saying that, he also made a call to the car class of the county party committee, thanks to the father of Li Chengru's colleague, otherwise, Gu Bei and they would not want to have this treatment.
The road in this year is really difficult to walk, with ditches and bumps, potholes, bumps along the way, and bones are about to fall apart.
It took an hour and a half to drive before I got to the place.
In the middle of the village, all you can see are adobe houses, a group of villagers who are squatting in the sun, smoking dry cigarettes and basking in the sun, curiously looking at the suddenly arriving cars, and many children surround them.
Gu Xiaowu is a revisit to his old place, and he is very emotional.
"It's been a few years, and nothing has changed in the village."
The person in charge said with a wry smile: "This place is too remote, and the common people have no way to get money, just rely on growing food, and it would be good to be able to have food and clothing all year round." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Gu Bei and they weren't just sending money to the people here!
According to Gu Xiaowu's guidance, the car drove directly to the village committee, which was also a dilapidated yard, and a mottled sign was hung at the door - XXX Village Committee.
The village chief and the branch secretary had already received the letter, and they were already waiting at the door, and when they saw the leader getting into the car, they hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands.
The person in charge briefly said what he meant.
There were too many people around, and they didn't say the details, but just told the village chief and the branch secretary that there was a great thing to come today.
The village chief couldn't help but be suspicious.
It's a good thing, I've lived for most of my life, except for those years when I didn't need money to eat, I haven't encountered anything good.
"Brother Qin, do you still recognize me?"
Gu Xiaowu stepped forward, and the village chief was slightly stunned when he looked at the visitor, and it took a long time to react.
"Are you...... Old Gu? ”
Gu Xiaowu smiled: "It's me, it's me, I haven't seen you for several years." ”
Seeing the acquaintance, the village chief obviously relaxed, held Gu Xiaowu's hand, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I haven't seen you for many years, you are ......"
"Come, Xiaobei, this is Uncle Qin I mentioned to you, this is your Uncle Mancang."
Gu Bei greeted one by one.
Uncle Qin is the village head, and Uncle Mancang is the secretary, both of whom are acquaintances of Gu Xiaowu.
"Lao Gu, this is ...... Your son. ”
Gu Xiaowu smiled and patted Gu Bei's shoulder: "It's my son, this is my son's friend." ”
Village Chief Qin looked at Gu Bei, and then at Li Chengru, he really couldn't think of any great things that the county leaders could do with them.
If you want to come back to see the villagers, you can just come by yourself, and you don't need to be accompanied by the leader.
After greeting for a while, Gu Bei and others were invited into the village committee.
Everyone sat down, and the person in charge of agriculture in the county spoke first: "I came here today to be a witness, and let the three of them say it specifically." ”
After speaking, he looked at Gu Bei, although Gu Xiaowu was an elder, but the person in charge could see that Gu Bei was the one who took the idea.
"Uncle Qin, Uncle Mancang, this time we are here to find the villagers to do a big thing?"
Village Chief Qin pinned the cigarette handed over by Gu Bei to his ear, took out his dry cigarette, rolled one and lit it, and then said, "Gu ...... Forget it, I'm the same age as your father, so I'll call you the eldest nephew! ”
Gu Bei smiled and nodded: "It should be." ”
Village Chief Qin took a puff of cigarette and said, "Director Zhang said just now that there is a great thing, what is a big thing, you can talk about it first." ”
The secretary of Mancang also said: "Eldest nephew, you said that you want to find the villagers to do big things, we are all farmers, we will dig in the soil, what big things can we do?" ”
Gu Bei said with a smile: "We came this time to talk to you about the matter of shaving food in the soil, not only to shave food, but also to shave money." ”
Shaving money?
The village chief Qin didn't know why: "I have been planting the land for decades, that is, in the past few years, my stomach can be filled, and the farmers will be content if they can stutter, and the soil can still be dug out of money." ”
"Eldest nephew, you are clear, how can you dig out money from this soil?"
Food is really important, but money is also indispensable, buy fertilizers, buy pesticides, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, and make clothes for children during the New Year, which doesn't cost money!
Gu Xiaowu took over the conversation: "That's the case, I'm going to dump vegetables and sell them in the city, so I want to contract the vegetable harvest in our village." ”
Hearing this, Village Chief Qin looked up at Gu Xiaowu: "Old Gu, the two of you have lived in the village for several years, can you still not know about the affairs of the village?" The vegetables grown on the self-reserved land are enough for your own food, and if you have more, you can pickle some pickles, how can you take them out and sell them? ”
Gu Bei said: "So, the purpose of our visit is to let the fellows have a variety of dishes, no matter how much they have, as long as they are collected, we will cover them all." ”
As soon as the secretary of Mancang was about to speak, Village Chief Qin stopped him, and said in a firm tone: "No, farming and collecting grain is serious, and after paying the public grain, you have to keep enough food for your own family, if you don't have any vegetables to eat, you don't have to worry about it, if you don't have food to eat, you will starve to death." ”
Village Chief Qin is over 60 years old this year, and he has experienced a lot, because there is no food to eat, people starve to death, others are hearsay, but he has seen it with his own eyes.
Gu Xiaowu can think about going back to the village and finding a way to make money for the villagers, and Village Chief Qin is very happy, but if he doesn't grow food and vegetables in order to make money, it will never work.
"Only when you have food in your hands can you not panic in your heart, Lao Gu, we understand your kindness, but this thing can't be done, it can't be done."
Gu Bei hurriedly explained: "Uncle Qin, I didn't say that the villagers should not grow any grain at all, I mean that let the villagers allocate a part of the land to grow vegetables, and the grain planted is enough to pay the public grain and their own food, and we will all plant the rest of the vegetables, how much to plant, and we will never let you lose money." ”
"Still no, Lao Gu, don't think I'm talking badly, now I want to plant as much as I want, but I'm really waiting for the harvest, if you don't want it, we can't fill our stomachs with these vegetables."
Although he still refused, Gu Bei also heard that this refusal was not as simple as just now.
As long as you don't talk about it all at once, it proves that there is still something to talk about.
