“I want to build roads.”

Huo Qianli's simple and calm words almost gave Gu Daqiang a heart attack.

"Um...Brother, building a road may not be that easy!"

Gu Daqiang chose his words carefully, "The simplest problem is that we have no money!"

He pointed at the highway below, "There's no point in building a dirt road. Whether it's an asphalt road or a concrete road, we can't afford to build one!"

"You make sense." Huo Qianli nodded slowly.

Gu Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this clever and capable Wenquxing would really make trouble for the road construction project, which would not only cause chaos, but also ruin the good situation that the cooperative had worked so hard to achieve.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Huo Qianli said, "Building roads is one thing, and we also need to build other infrastructure, such as water conservancy and irrigation, and domestic water..."

hammer!

Not only did he fail to persuade them to stop, he also persuaded a few more to stop!

Gu Daqiang said anxiously: "Brother Huo, let's not think about those things! Now we should focus on getting the cooperative started. We can discuss it again when the cooperative has money in the future!"

Gu Daqiang was extremely anxious. Everything seemed to be getting better, so he hoped no trouble would arise!

Huo Qianli turned his head and looked at Gu Daqiang, who was about to jump up and down, and laughed dumbly, "Brother, don't be like this, I'm not that stupid!"

He smiled and found two low stools, and pulled Gu Daqiang to sit down. "I'm not trying to make trouble, but I'm thinking about whether there is anything we can do now. We can't wait until we make money to do everything. If we think like this, we may not make any money."

Why can't I make money? I can grow salvia miltiorrhiza and sell it next year, right?

Gu Daqiang thought this in his heart, but he nodded and listened to Huo Qianli continue.

"Look, just like today, this driver has rarely driven such a road block, and he almost couldn't even get the equipment in. And I just talked to the masters who drive farm machinery. They went to see how troublesome the road to Tutou is. These are the problems we face!"

"I know what you want to say. You said that we didn't use farm machinery before, but we still got by!" Huo Qianli smiled. "But it's different now. We're working with a pharmaceutical company. For such large-scale planting, they definitely have quality requirements, and they've sent experts to give us guidance. Didn't we hear last night that machines can turn the soil deeper, which is also beneficial for subsequent fattening operations? And if we don't use machines to level the land, relying only on manual labor is too inefficient. So this road must be built."

"Of course I know the situation. We don't need to repair those asphalt roads. We can just level them like today! We can pile up stones to build the roadbed and pave the road surface with gravel. While we have the excavator, we can dig out the road leading to the large piece of earth. These will only cost some manpower, but the material cost should be affordable."

"As for water conservancy and irrigation, now that the land is concentrated and the roads have been changed, the original irrigation culverts need to be adjusted. The ditches that need to be opened are opened, and the ditches that need to be changed are changed, so that it will be convenient for everyone to grow their own land."

He looked at Gu Daqiang and said, "This is not a whim. In fact, I have been thinking about this for the past two days. There is not much work in the fields in winter. Instead of letting everyone play cards, brag and eat sunflower seeds, why not organize them to do something meaningful."

After hearing what Huo Qianli said, Gu Daqiang felt relieved. At least he was still based on the actual situation and not having any unrealistic ideas.

So he thought about it carefully and had to admit that there was some truth to it, but there was a problem here.

He said, "I think we should wait until the other two groups join us next year and do it together. There are only so many people in the cooperative now. First, we don't have enough manpower, and second, if the other groups take advantage of us, everyone will feel uncomfortable."

Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows, "This is easy, just let the whole village participate!"

"How is that possible!" Gu Daqiang shook his head subconsciously. "Those people in Group 1 and Group 2 only treated us well because they sold us Salvia miltiorrhiza. It's impossible for them to work for free!"

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Everything depends on human effort. What if they agree?"

Gu Daqiang's heart moved, and he said seriously: "Brother, we are all from the same village, we can't treat them like drug dealers!"

Huo Qianli laughed, "Don't worry! I have always been a voluntary person. I think they will take the initiative to contribute to the village collective."

He stood up on his knees. "If there is no big problem, let's say this first. I'll think about what to do. Then we can discuss it and call the village committee to hold a meeting."

Watching Huo Qianli go to the village committee, Gu Daqiang stroked his chin. He always felt that Huo Qianli was going to cheat him again!

......

The land of the three groups in Hushan Village has been completely redistributed, with a total of 180 acres of land.

The remaining land has been returned to each household in accordance with the wishes of the villagers and the information on the land contract certificates.

The cultivation of Salvia miltiorrhiza has certain requirements for soil, water and light.

Therefore, the 180 acres of land are basically sandy soil on the sunny side of the mountain. After being divided into large areas, the earthen ridges are no longer retained, and the original roads are no longer needed, so the entire work route needs to be adjusted.

The excavator first cleared the way, dug a new road according to the route plan given by Murakami, and then leveled the land around it, and a large square piece of earth emerged.

Then, various machines such as tillers were used one after another, allowing the villagers in the cooperative to see the power of machinery.
