March 5, 1987 was an important day for Yangliufang and even the entire Hanwangchuan region. Yangliufang's Liufang wood processing factory business license was approved, which is also the first private factory registered in the Hanwangchuan area in the industrial and commercial bureau, and at this time from December 11, 1980, his Wenzhou hometown Zhang Huamei received the first individual industrial and commercial business license from the industrial and commercial department, 7 years and 3 months have passed. This spring breeze of reform and opening up has finally blown all over every corner of the land of China.

Yang Liufang looked at this piece of paper full of dark lines and covered with the seal of the Xizhou Administration for Industry and Commerce over and over again, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. Although he is not yet 18 years old, the name column above is his godbrother Li Tongfu, and the registered address is Shibi Village, Hanwangchuan Township, Xizhou City, where there are only two acres of industrial construction land allocated by the head of Shishi Village through multi-party coordination. But this does not affect its protection by the state industrial and commercial department, and because of this paper, it can also undertake projects of government, enterprises and other related institutions.

The day after getting the business license, Yang Liufang took the drawings of the desks and chairs he had drawn overnight, called Li Tongfu, the legal person on the business license, and went to the Hanwangchuan Township Education Committee together, and signed a 450 sets of Hanwangchuan Middle School desks and chairs customization contract. 60 yuan for each set of desks and chairs, according to the provisions of the contract, 50% of the advance payment, Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu went to the tax department non-stop together to issue an invoice of 13,500 yuan and handed it to the Township Education Commission, under the personal supervision of the township leaders, the first payment arrived three days later.

When Yang Liufang got the payment, the first thing he did was to ask Wang Shan to take himself and two powerful workers to the countryside to buy trees. At this time, the head of Shishi Village led the villagers to rely on their shoulders to carry them, and they had opened up a 3-kilometer loess road, and the villagers were full of enthusiasm. Chinese people are hardworking in their bones, especially when a better life is just around the corner, and suffering and tiredness are only a small episode in life.

When the first batch of timber arrived in Shibi Village, the villagers spontaneously took turns to keep vigil to help Yang Liufang look at the site. Yang Liufang thought that this was not a long-term solution after all, so he asked Wang Shan and Li Tongfu to buy some red bricks when they went to Hongclay Village to deliver the goods, and wanted to build a courtyard wall.

The village chief of Hongtuzhuang has a set of furniture custom-made here, and when he heard that they opened a factory to make a yard, he also enthusiastically helped with ideas. It is said that if it is just a factory, there is no need for a large number of red bricks to be built, there are some burned red bricks in the brick factory, they can be pulled away at cost price, and the upper cover and wall can be completely replaced by asbestos tiles, which saves labor and money, and can be put into production soon.

Li Tongfu told Yang Liufang the good news he heard, and Yang Liufang was also very excited, which not only allowed the factory to be built quickly, but also saved a lot of money. It was immediately decided to let Li Tongfu go to Xizhou to find Zhang Feng to purchase asbestos tiles together, as for the number of 100 pieces first, and after the asbestos tiles arrived in Shibi Village, the villagers rushed to help unload the goods regardless of the hard work of building the road, especially those porters who participated in the rotation in Zhao Machuan.

Yang Liufang had to make furniture in Zhao Machuan's existing carpentry room, so he couldn't always stare at the new factory, so he had to entrust the head of Shi Village to help speed up the construction of the factory, and he roughly drew a layout of the factory, including men's and women's toilets, canteens, paint spray rooms, finished product warehouses and raw material warehouses, as well as where they slept. Except for the sleeping quarters, which are built with red bricks, all other areas are red brick foundations with asbestos tile walls and covers.

After getting the drawings, the head of the stone village divided the labor involved in the road construction into two parts, one part continued to build the road, and the other part followed him to build a factory. They tied the stones on the wheat field in the village to two willow poles, and several people took turns to lift them and ram them, tamping the foundation, and mixing them with the cement that Zhang Feng and the others pulled from Xizhou City and the sand that Wang Shawan had brought for free. A 20-centimeter-high wall was built on the ground from the discarded red bricks bought from Hongclay Village, leaving a 5-centimeter gap in the middle, and then the asbestos tiles were erected and stuffed into the gaps after solidification, and a 2-meter-high wall was quickly erected.

The road has not yet been repaired, and the masonry of the walls of the factory has been completed. It's just that the purlin on the ridge makes it difficult for them, due to the demand for space, the use of the ridge purlin is different from the usual chopping willow used for furniture, which is only two or three meters long, and it is necessary to use five or six meters or even more than ten meters long more straight trees. The head of the stone village also went to various villages to buy, either because it was inappropriate, or because he was jealous of raising the price, or he simply did not sell.

There was no way, the village chief of Shi could only go to Zhao Machuan to discuss with Yang Liufang, he wanted to sell the two big poplar trees at the entrance of his village department, and he felt embarrassed, after all, the factory was won by himself, and it should provide the greatest convenience. But if they don't collect money, the villagers can't explain it. Yang Liufang felt refreshed after hearing this.

"Brother Shi, my brother settles the accounts, not to mention that it is still public property, since it can be solved, then you can ask for money according to the market price."

"Oh, I'll do it when I go back."

"You pull the machine saw back, and when the wood is cut, you cut it with the saw so that it doesn't go to waste."

"It's still thoughtful."

Yang Liufang used a machine saw to put enough materials for a day, and asked the workers to carry the machine saw onto the donkey cart of the stone village chief.

Within two days of his return, the chief of the stone village had completed the work of cutting down the tree, and had made the main trunk of the tree into four purlins, and the branches had been made of one and two purlins respectively, and the branches were made into rafters. Half a month later, a red brick foundation, gray asbestos tile walls and a factory building were built.

Yang Liufang asked Zhang Feng to pull away the equipment and materials in Zhao Machuan's carpentry workshop three times. He said goodbye to Village Chief Zhao at the end, looking at the village where he grew up under his protection, Yang Liufang was very emotional. People, I don't know where to get help in this life. At least Zhao Machuan, a small village with a sand digging civilization, is a starting point for Yang Liufang to take off.

From the Lantern Festival to the present, the villagers of Shibi Village have been working for free for their furniture factory, and Yang Liufang was reluctant to go, and discussed with the head of Shibi Village to compensate the villagers for some expenses. The head of the stone village refused, saying that he would support the landed enterprises on behalf of the village.

Yang Liu Fang was reluctant to do so, and in the "People's Daily" that he had read, state leaders had repeatedly stressed the need to plant trees and grass to increase the income of the people in the western region. Just past Arbor Day, the news on the radio also said that national leaders have taken the lead in planting trees. He put forward a suggestion that he should buy a batch of willow saplings at his own expense and send them to the village and plant them next to the newly built road out of the village, which can not only protect the roadbed from wind and sand, but also solve the problem of using wood in the future.

After hearing this, the stone village chief clapped his hands and applauded, and said, "Why are you so smart?" ”

"It's news from the People's Daily, I just paid more attention to it."

"Well, no matter what news he has, it can bring income to the villagers, and it is good news that the villagers will not be poor."

On March 20, Yang Liufang's furniture factory in Shibi Village officially opened, and in order to save costs, he did not hold any ceremony. Just let Zhang Feng drive the car to buy 200 willow saplings to the village, when the radio stone village chief announced the good news, the villagers learned that they do not have to spend their own money to buy saplings, in the future when the tree grows up, it can be sold to the factory for money, one by one excited, in addition to the stone village chief thanksgiving, help himself to attract the golden egg hen, some villagers took out the family New Year was not willing to put the firecrackers, ran to the door of the factory in Yang Liufang crackled and put it.

Yang Liufang asked Zhang Feng to buy more than 30 saplings and a huge plastic bucket to put in his factory, and he asked the workers to plant the saplings around the factory, and let the first bucket of water brought back by the village chief of Shishi Village be delivered to the factory every day to meet the factory's domestic water and water the trees.

The factory recruited eight workers from Shibi Village, four of whom participated in rotation, and two painters and two apprentices were responsible for the future furniture spraying work. The other two young workers, who are more intelligent and have roughly learned the assembly of mortise and tenon furniture in Zhao Machuan in the past two months, have also obtained fixed jobs, with a daily wage of 8 yuan per person and a paid day off every month. The workers cherish this hard-won job opportunity very much, and no one is willing to rest, lest their posts be snatched up by workers who are eyeing them to participate in the rotation.
