"Old Zhou, I understand you, but you also have to understand us!"

"You have difficulties, and so do we."

“Everyone wants to build roads.”

"But the landlord doesn't have any surplus food!"

Commune Secretary Chen Guodong spoke.

Don’t they know about the problems with the roads?

They know it too, but there is nothing they can do.

After all, these are difficult times and every place is poor.

They also want to build roads, but they have no money!

And they really don't dare to open this door.

At this time, people from other production teams were watching eagerly.

If we agree to the road construction for the Dabazi Production Team, what about the other production teams? We can't favor one over the other, right?

"What should we do?" The captain looked worried.

"Our mushroom cultivation base is about to begin construction. With so many mushrooms, how long will it take us to harvest them all by ourselves?"

What the captain said is true.

If it is one or two thousand kilograms, or even ten or twenty thousand kilograms, they can pull it themselves.

There are two ox carts in the village. At worst, we can carry the goods on our shoulders and transport them out.

But after the mushroom cultivation base is built, it will not be a matter of 10,000 or 20,000 kilograms.

According to what Zhou Ziwen said just now, it is at least 200,000 kilograms.

With so many mushrooms, manpower alone is not enough.

“It’s difficult for us too!”

President Fu sighed.

When these words were spoken, the team leader and Wu Dagang were very disappointed, and the captains of other production teams also sighed silently.

Build the road!

Who doesn’t want that?

Everyone wants to.

But without this condition, what can they do?

"Leaders, I do have a somewhat immature suggestion."

Zhou Ziwen spoke.

"Comrade Ziwen, go ahead. Young people are very smart. Maybe your suggestion can solve the problem!"

President Fu encouraged.

"Young man, speak boldly. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong."

Secretary Chen Guodong spoke in encouragement.

“If you want to be rich, build roads first.”

"Our villages are all relatively remote. If we want to develop, building roads is imperative."

Zhou Ziwen first set the tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Everyone understands this principle, but everyone is poor and cannot afford to build roads.

"The production team is poor, and the commune isn't rich either. So why don't we work together to build it well?"

Zhou Ziwen asked back.

"You mean, the commune and the production team should pay together?" President Fu frowned.

"Almost." Zhou Ziwen nodded. "If it's just one production team, building the road might be a bit difficult, but what if several of us work together?"

"For example, the Xiaobazi Production Team, the Niushan Village Production Team, and the Zhaojia Village Production Team are so close to our Dabazi Production Team. We can build a main road and then several branch roads."

“This way, although it’s a little troublesome, it’s actually a joint construction by multiple parties.”

Zhou Ziwen’s meaning is very simple.

Since the commune is unwilling to build a road for Dabazi Village alone, let’s build it together!

Anyway, Xiaobazi Village, Niushan Village and Zhaojia Village are so close to them, and it would take less than half an hour to walk there.

If we all contribute money and build the road together, the commune will have no reason to disagree!

Building a road will benefit four production teams. This business is profitable no matter how you look at it!

As for Sha Tin Village and Sanjiao Wan, there is nothing we can do.

Who told them to stay far away!

"That's not impossible."

President Fu fell into deep thought.

To be honest, it’s not that the commune can’t afford to build a road.

Rather, we should worry about the inequality rather than the scarcity.

Now that the road has been built for Dabazi Village, what will happen to the other production teams?

If this was really built in Dabazi Village, they would be helpless if other production teams made trouble.

These guys, although they usually look respectful, when they start to act like a spoiled child, it makes my head hurt just thinking about them.

But if we want to repair it for several production teams together, then we can consider it.

Building a road benefits four production teams.

If each production team contributes a little money and the commune contributes a little more, it will be no problem to build a road.

After all, in terms of manpower, their production team can do it themselves, and all that is left is some materials.

The production team had nothing else to offer except a large number of people.

The four production teams, together, had at least more than 2,000 people, and if you count the labor force alone, there were at least 1,000 people.

If everyone works together, can't we build a road?

"I think it's okay."

Thinking of this, President Fu nodded.

"President, you can't be partial!"

"Yes, President, you build roads for them, but what about us?"

Before he could say anything, the captains of Shatin Village and Sanjiao Bay began to feel aggrieved.

"Get lost, Tang Youfu, you're itching for sex, right? How about we practice?"

The captain raised his fist.

"Jiang Youwei, are you lacking moral integrity? We are talking about serious matters, why are you interfering?"

"These two guys can't stand seeing us doing well. Beat them up."

Before President Fu could say anything, the captains of Dabazi Village, Xiaobazi Village, Zhaojia Village, and Niushan Village stood up, looking as if they were about to beat someone up.

Just when President Fu was about to agree, why did these two troublemakers jump out to join in the fun?

This is causing trouble!

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop messing around, the leaders are watching us!"

Tang Youfu from Shatin Village shouted in a timid tone.

But seeing him shouting and retreating, I was also afraid.

These people are ruffians, they just start fighting when they say they will!

Looking at their noisy appearance, President Fu slapped his forehead helplessly.

He knew this would happen.

"Okay, stop making such a fuss. What a mess."

President Fu slammed the table and shouted loudly.

Seeing that the president was angry, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

"It's just road construction. There are only a few villages here, so let's build them all at once."

"Your Shatian Village and Zhaojia Village are not far from each other, and Sanjiaowan and Niushan Village are also close. If they can build it, why can't you?"

"Although it's a bit of a detour, that's the condition we have. Why don't we just build a road that goes directly to your six villages? What's the point of arguing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the captains of Shatin Village and Sanjiao Bay fell into ecstasy.

"Can we build a road together?" Tang Youfu asked in disbelief.

"It depends on whether you are willing to pay."

President Fu said indifferently.

"I'm willing. I'm very willing. I'll pay any amount of money." Tang Youfu patted his chest.

"You said it, don't regret it later."

President Fu said with a smile.

"Uh... President, you know, our village isn't very wealthy..."

Even though Tang Youfu was eloquent, he began to stutter at this moment.

He was just talking, how could you take it seriously?

"Okay, all six of you villages should contribute money together, and the commune will also help you contribute a little."

President Fu waved his hand.

"But this route must be centered around Dabazi Village. After all, they'll be transporting mushrooms in the future. Please understand."

As soon as these words were spoken, the captain and Wu Dagang both smiled with satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
