The old secretary took a puff of his cigarette, stood up, and walked towards Captain Luo's main room.

Captain Luo gestured to Jiang Tang, stood up and called the accountant, and went into the house together.

After they got inside, they didn't close the door, but spoke in low voices. The old secretary said, "We can grow vegetables here on the mountainside and on the roadside. In autumn, we can grow loofah, pumpkin, and winter melon. If we plant them casually, they will produce a lot. These things are also cheap."

Jiang Tang said, "We don't mind if it's cheap, as long as we have a large quantity. Let's not talk about selling it to the factory or any other unit. I can get some in our compound and help the village exchange it for some living coupons or food."

In winter, the thing we lack most in our city is vegetables."

Captain Luo thought for a while and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if we don't plant it. As long as we can sell it for money, no matter how much, a little bit will add up to a lot.

There are many different vegetables available throughout the year. If we can get a little of this and a little of that, the villagers will be able to make a lot of money by the end of the year."

Seeing that they all agreed, Jiang Tang smiled and handed the plan she had written overnight to Captain Luo: "Secretary, Captain, this is a preliminary plan I wrote for the development of our village. You can take a look at it when you have time.

I have observed the land and hills of our village.

I found that the second hill on the east side had few trees, a gentle slope, and plenty of sunlight. After a little pruning, I could transplant tea trees or grow vegetables.

On the small hill next to her, I found more than a dozen jujube trees. I don’t know how much they will produce in the fall, but they can still be sold for money.

Also, there is indeed a lot of grass in our village, but I found that there are also many wild rabbits.

I think this place is suitable for raising rabbits. If we make good use of the grass, we can raise rabbits and sell them for money without taking up the villagers' time. It's the best of both worlds.

"Based on my observations in the village, these are the only solutions I can come up with. Secretary, Captain Luo, Accountant Wang, you can take a look at other directions we can develop in addition to tea."

Captain Luo glanced over and read the report written by Jiang Tang in the old secretary's hand.

He thought to himself, he is worthy of being a person from the provincial government. Damn it, if he hadn't been angry with Sun Maocheng about the fertilizer issue, he would have asked Secretary Jiang to get the fertilizer.

If he hadn't mocked Secretary Jiang like that ruffian Sun Maocheng, we would have really lost a good cadre who helped us get rich.

However, although he was not as capable as Sun Maocheng, he did not have much expectation for Jiang. After all, how much ability could a girl of sixteen or seventeen have? He had not assigned any special work to her during these days.

He thought that Secretary Jiang was just pretending to be running around in the fields and mountains these days, but he didn't expect that he was doing this.

None of the people elected by the province are just empty talkers, he should trust the organization.

Look, it’s only been a few days and the report is already written.

There are several ways to get rich: "I have done a lot for the village before, mostly about how to expand the arable land, how to increase grain production, and how to eliminate these weeds. I also thought about doing some side businesses. Those dozen red date trees were planted by me and the villagers a few years ago.

I planted dozens of jujubes in the mountains, but only about a dozen survived. The trees didn't produce many fruits, and when they ripened, I sold them to the commune's purchasing point, earning only a few dozen yuan a year.

"What's the price at the purchasing point?"

"Eighty cents."

"Red dates in the city are selling for 1.5 yuan. So, this year we won't sell them to the purchasing station. I'll help us find a way out."

After reading the report, the old secretary kept saying, "Well written, well written!"

"There is hope for our village now. Fengquan, cooperate with Secretary Jiang."

Luo Fengquan nodded in agreement. If this were to happen, then even if they had less arable land, they would have enough money to buy food from the commune.

Accountant Wang said, "Secretary Jiang, which of these suggestions do you think is more feasible?"

Jiang Tang glanced at the seniors and found that they were all waiting for his answer, so he didn't hesitate any longer: "I think it can be done. Raising rabbits doesn't take much time, and we don't lack grass.

As for growing vegetables, I think our village doesn't have a collective system, so let the villagers grow them on their own, whether it's by the roadside, in the yard, or on the mountain, and see who grows the most."

The old secretary asked, "Isn't growing vegetables collective?"

"Secretary, I've noticed that our village has a large population and limited land. Many people work quickly, but in order to slow down, they tend to be lazy. This may be a habit. But we have mountains at our backs, and there are many areas in the mountains that can be developed.

If you let them develop it collectively, they will definitely not pay much attention to it.

But if you tell them that the village is harvesting vegetables this autumn to earn money for their families, you can see if they are enthusiastic. Not only by the roadside at the entrance of the village, but also in every nook and cranny, they will plant vegetables for you.

Not to mention the mountains that can be developed.

After a few years of growing vegetables, the village has more land and the villagers are getting richer. Isn't that the best of both worlds? If they want to reclaim the land later, the team leader should tell them in advance that they can plant the land they reclaimed for free this year. The vegetables they plant will be bought back by the village in the fall, and after the New Year, the land will become collective property of the village. It would be best to write a letter of consent and have them collectively sign it to avoid any disputes later.

Whenever interests are involved, no one will not be tempted.

The old secretary thought this was feasible.

"Secretary Jiang's report is well written. We all think it's feasible, but we still need to hold a meeting to discuss it and make a decision as soon as possible."

Captain Luo asked Jiang Tang again, "What vegetables do you think are suitable to grow, Secretary Jiang?"

"Grow some things that can be stored, such as winter melon, pumpkin, beans, and loofah. It's best to pick them when they are tender and sell them as vegetables. If you have a large quantity, you can also grow some eggplant. You can tell the villagers a few vegetables and we will harvest them when the time comes. There are also many wild vegetables in the village and mountains, which are also rare for city people."
