Volume 2: Ecology Chapter 208: The Dust Storm Crisis Under the Shelterbelt
According to the plan, after the end of the publicity date, the stone secretary will lead the workers of the building decoration company to enter the site to start work. However, the end of the publicity date just arrived at the Arbor Day on March 12, this year's Arbor Day, Yang Liufang accepted the joint proposal of Qin Jiajun, Wang Shan and Xinye, and the group company purchased the seedlings uniformly, so that the villagers could receive them for free and plant them in their own yards. Like the trees planted on Yingbin Avenue in Shibi Village five years ago, the group company buys back the trees at the market price when they are fully grown.
Wang Shan: The reason why they made this suggestion was because they found that many of the workers who had registered and decided to buy the dormitories of the group company had their caves in disrepair and their yards were deserted. I didn't go to work in the factory before, and when there were people at home, even if I was lazy, I would clean it every once in a while. Now that water is also convenient, the mother-in-law who is as diligent as the stone secretary will grow some vegetables in her yard. Since I entered the factory to work, I rarely go back, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. According to Wang Shan's father-in-law and his father's words, it was "dilapidated" and "lifeless". At night, there are small animals such as yellow skins in the wild grass, and the old people can't keep a chicken or something, and the dolls go out to the toilet at night, and they will be frightened by the small animals that come out of the cold, and they are also crying and unwilling to stay in the village.
Of course, the villagers accept this policy, the yard is barren and there is no income, planting trees only need to be watered in the early stage, especially this kind of chopped willow, once it takes root, it can be allowed to grow, and when it grows up, it can be sold to the group company, and it is another income, and everyone is eager to implement it quickly. The factory is operating, the workers can't take a break from work, and if the workers plant by themselves, they want to get more seedlings to plant, so as to make more money.
The group company held a meeting to discuss, and simply planted by the company's building decoration company, so that there are fixed standards for plant spacing and the number of seedlings. According to the decision of the group meeting, four to 1.5 meters of a plant, according to statistics, a total of more than 50,000 willow saplings were reported, so that both the early management and follow-up investment are very large, plus the workers of the building decoration company want to enter Xizhou to carry out the construction of the winning project, multiple factors prompted everyone to finally unify their opinions, and decided to start planting from the buyers of Shibi Village nearby, about 9,000 trees. Therefore, the renovation and expansion of the agriculture-related center of the supply and marketing cooperatives conflicts with the Arbor Day. At this time, the seedlings had already been purchased and sent to Shibi Village, and if they were not planted in time, there was a possibility of death, so they postponed the entry date.
When Secretary Shi led the workers to finish planting trees around Arbor Day and enter the Chengbei Market in Xizhou to start construction, it was already the spring equinox. The construction period was delayed by a week, but the building decoration company learned from the experience of contracting production to households when the village divided the land, and subcontracted the amount of work. Who doesn't want to make money, so the workers began to work around the clock as soon as they entered the site. After all, Secretary Shi is the secretary of the village party committee of Shibi Village, and he knows a little about propaganda, so he made a banner of the advertising slogan "Time is money, efficiency is life" that he often saw in the news broadcast, and hung it high on the scaffolding of the main body of the project. When President Li and provincial and municipal leaders came to inspect the progress of the project, they were very pleased to see the standard construction process and the energetic workers, and also praised the grassroots cadres who led the villagers to prosperity through scientific management.
Secretary Shi led the workers of the construction and decoration company to work day and night, and Yang Liufang was not idle, and deliberately took time to visit the president of the Chengbei Society, wanting to set up 100 booths. When the president of the Chengbei Society heard it, he couldn't ask for it, to be honest, he didn't think about how to attract investment, since Yang Liufang was willing to ask for it, of course he gave it to him, and because of the large amount, after consulting the leaders, the price was very preferential for them.
Yang Liufang's only request was not to reflect the information of the group company, but to find Uncle Han in Yantan and ask him to come forward to take down the 100 stalls, nominally for the vegetable farmers in Yantan, but in fact let Uncle Han hire someone to operate it. As long as they meet the requirements of the state's "Decision on Further Strengthening Agriculture and Rural Work" and collect rents to increase the value of state-owned assets, they will be considered to have completed their tasks. And Uncle Han is still a serious vegetable farmer, with his own vegetable plot, the follow-up supply is guaranteed, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are convenient to manage.
Yang Liufang asked Wang Shan, the group company in charge of marketing and the "expert" who had stood at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperatives for four years, to be responsible for the selection. According to the accounting of the supply and marketing cooperative, the annual rent of these stalls is 200,000 yuan, and Yang Liufang asked Yanhua to put forward 600,000 yuan in cash in the name of the company's reserve fund, and asked Uncle Han to come forward to pay the fees for three years at the financial office of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Uncle Han was very grateful to Yang Liufang, and felt that he really didn't see the wrong person at the beginning. He also insisted on paying part of his own money to lease together, but Yang Liufang was not allowed. About these 100 shops, he has his own ideas, now 100 stalls occupy half of the market area, with the current process of market-oriented reform of state-owned enterprises, the supply and marketing cooperatives can not always hold this "vegetable basket", and there is a lack of corresponding market management measures, in case there is a chance to lease in the future, it will save a lot of costs. simply let Uncle Han manage it well.
People's hearts are long, Uncle Han didn't want to go, and proposed to pay management fees to the group company to operate. Yang Liufang asked him to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to discuss with Yanhua, and over the years to supply food to the canteen of the group company, Uncle Han directly approached Yanhua every time he settled, so he was familiar with the road. Yang Liufang also told Yanhua his purpose, so after communicating with Yanhua, Uncle Han only asked them to pay 2% of their turnover every year as a management fee, which also included water and electricity. Uncle Han was grateful, so he summoned relatives and friends in the village to manage the stall together, and when the decoration was completed, he would immediately move in.
After a month of training in Guangzhou, Shi Yong and Li Wei returned to Xizhou with the vehicles transporting the molding equipment around the time of the rain in the valley. When Li Wei asked how to distribute the new equipment, considering the different uses, Yang Liufang suggested that the molding equipment of the cabinet door panel be installed in the furniture factory, and the production of the plate due to the suspension of the tannery's tanning workshop, the plant has been vacant, and some of the equipment can be used with the current pressing lathe to avoid the waste of equipment resources, so let it be installed separately. At the same time, it is also considered that the tannery has its own 300 acres of woodland around it, although it is now included in the national "Three Norths" shelterbelt system, but the right to use this land and the trees on the land belong to Liufang Industrial Group.
Thinking that he wanted to produce plates, Yang Liufang was also glad that he had contracted the 300 acres of hilly wasteland in Hongclay Village in advance. In order to prevent wind and fix sand and reduce the harm of sandstorms to the capital Beijing, the state allocates a large amount of funds every year to plant a large number of trees here, and the spacing of seedlings is much denser than that planted by their group.
The policies of the State are always beneficial to the people, but when they are implemented at the local level, they seem to be somewhat unsatisfactory. From 1979, when the state decided to list the "Three Norths" shelterbelt construction project as an important project of national economic construction, a total of eight phases of the project have been carried out to the third phase, except for the 300 acres of Liufang Industrial Group, planted to adapt to the local water and soil, the survival rate of seedlings is higher, and the survival rate of seedlings in other areas of Northwest Province is said to be not high. But every time the state inspects, because of the newly replanted seedlings, the data is always very bright. If the actual annual survival rate is calculated, although the number of seedlings in this piece of land of the group company is small, the survival rate is definitely the first. Therefore, the province's annual evaluation of the "ecological environment model" units have the name of Liufang Industrial Group.
The survival rate of seedlings in the Sanbei shelterbelt is said to be beyond the scope of his responsibilities as a small carpenter, but in addition to the identity of a small carpenter and chairman of the group company, he is now a representative of the People's Congress of the Xizhou Economic Development Zone. He did not dare to mention it again in his proposal this year, and he simply mentioned the economic and guiding issues related to the development of private enterprises, and was praised by provincial and municipal leaders. Because of this, every year when the Sanbei Construction Project Office comes down for acceptance, all units seem to be busy replanting, and the entire shelterbelt system in the province looks like a forest after replanting. However, due to out-of-season or even out-of-season transplantation and planting, it leads to a vicious circle of "planting every year, dying every year, dying every year, and planting every year". As a result, the effectiveness of the Three-North Shelterbelt has been greatly reduced.
Recently, there was a sandstorm in Xizhou, and this storm seemed to be more ferocious than ever, just like the princess of the iron fan in Journey to the West fanned the banana fan, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun. Whether you can't see your fingers indoors or outdoors, the wind is howling and the sand and stones are tumbling violently in the wind, as if the sky is falling and the end is coming. Unfortunately, people are overconfident in the function of the Three-North Shelterbelt, and do not pay as much attention to this sandstorm as before, this day coincides with Youth Day, and the Provincial Committee of the Northwest Youth League also held many youth outdoor activities in Xizhou City, which directly led to the disappearance of 31 people and the injury of 264 people. Because the sandstorm was so severe, even the construction of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the north of the city could not be carried out, and the sheds and quilts where the workers lived were also looted by the wind.
Secretary Shi, the person in charge of the project, urgently asked the group company to send a car to pick up the workers to go home first, and just when the new molded machine tool was in a hurry to install, Li Wei asked Zhang Feng to pull people directly back to the factory from the project of the agriculture-related center of the supply and marketing cooperative. Under the leadership of Li Wei, the workers took advantage of the sandstorm to prevent the construction of the project in the city, and worked intensively to install the new equipment in the workshop. The sandstorm blew for four days in a row, and the installation of the equipment was completed within four days. But the commissioning work continued until before May Day.
