"Then what are my work points as a cowherd?" Gu Yunyang asked.

Gu Hanping knew as soon as he heard this that the matter had been settled.

This is a win-win situation for both the public and private sectors, so Gu Hanping naturally wouldn't hold it back: "Of course, it's earned separately. It's like the team's scorekeeper; he records work points as one set of work points, and when he goes to work in the fields, he gets another set."

"And as the team leader, I also have ten work points. If I work in the fields, I'll get extra work points."

That's not untrue.

During the busy farming season, the brigade leader, accountant, militia leader, and others all have to work in the fields.

These all earn work points.

The brigade secretary also did the work of a cowherd, so naturally he also had a share.

"but……"

Gu Hanping hesitated for a moment before speaking, "However, we haven't seen any results yet regarding this cowshed, the pigsty, and the fishpond you mentioned. So, we can only give you eight work points for now. Once we see results next year, the accountant and I discussed it early this morning and will make up for it all next year."

The accountant and the militia captain both went to the meeting yesterday, and neither of them expressed any objection.

But the accountant was initially unwilling to do what happened this morning.

Gu Hanping argued logically: "If it really works, it's only ten work points a day. Compared to such a huge benefit, isn't it worth it?"

The accountant thought about it and agreed.

There's no need to invest for now; Gu Yunyang will advance the money for the piglets.

We'll pay Gu Yunyang back next year when we see results.

This work point should indeed be returned to them.

Otherwise, should the profits from this pigsty go to Gu Yunyang?

We can't let Gu Yunyang work for nothing, can we?

That doesn't make sense.

Moreover, starting today, Gu Yunyang is already the acting secretary.

According to the division of labor, that person is his superior.

In the brigade, the brigade leader naturally has the final say now, but the secretary is also the highest-ranking official.

"Alright then, I'll take on the role of secretary for now. But Captain, tell me, what does the secretary do?"

To be honest, Gu Yunyang had never actually held this position before.

So he really didn't know what the secretary was going to do.

Gu Hanping had already been thinking about this matter, so he immediately said, "The Party Secretary doesn't usually have much to do."

You'll likely have to take charge of whatever happens in the brigade.

The brigade is holding a meeting, and the Party Secretary needs to come and preside over it.

In addition, half of the meetings held in the commune required the attendance of the Party Secretary.

Gongping gave Gu Yunyang a general overview and promised that if Gu Yunyang was unwilling to attend the meeting, he, as the team leader, could attend it in his place.

Gu Yunyang could accept it now.

"Alright then, but for now, let's get the pigsty and fishpond sorted out first. Hmm, it's busy farming season now, so it'll have to wait a few days. But what about the bricks and the piglets?"

Gu Hanping thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go ask about Qingzhuan for you today. I also need to report to Secretary Hao about your position as the brigade secretary. Otherwise, the commune will just appoint someone for me later."

At this point, Gu Hanping became somewhat embarrassed.

It seems this person was chosen hastily, and Gu Yunyang was used as a scapegoat.

Gu Yunyang didn't care about that. He nodded and said, "Then, Captain, please ask about the piglets as well."

I just came from Beijing and don't know much about the area.

Originally, I thought that if that didn't work, I would ask around at each brigade, and then I would need the brigade to issue a letter of introduction.

It would be much easier if the battalion commander went to ask.

Speaking of which, there are indeed pigs kept in the base space, but they are wild boars.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to bring in a few piglets to raise himself.

Gu Hanping readily agreed, and then the two discussed who would work at the pigsty and fishpond.

Gu Yunyang naturally returned the favor: "I do have a good candidate."
