Chapter 245: Which chessboard can I finally move to and play chess?
Blue Water Farm.
The farm gate was coated with a faint golden glow under the reflection of the setting sun, making the busy crowd seem to be wearing a golden coat.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the director's car is back."
"Come in later and listen to my drumming!"
As Su Wenchen drove into the gate of the venue, the deafening sound of gongs and drums hit him in the face.
Hundreds of workers stood on both sides of the road.
The female workers waved colored paper with a simple rabbit drawing on it, and some employees held up signs welcoming the "foreign exchange earning heroes home."
I don't know who took the lead in singing "We Workers Are Powerful", but after many employees joined in, the deafening singing directly scared away the sparrows that had landed on the roof of the chicken coop to rest.
Su Wenchen opened the passenger window.
Listening to the unaccompanied singing, although compared with the provincial welcome ceremony, it was very simple and crude.
But Su Wenchen could feel a sincere emotion in the singing.
Because these employees truly regard Blue Water Field as their home, and they are truly proud of the achievements made by Blue Water Field.
Su Wenchen turned his head and looked at Zhao Weiguo.
“Stop the car!”
As the engine gradually shuts down.
Su Wenchen jumped out of the passenger seat.
As Su Wenchen came down, the singing gradually stopped, and many people looked at Su Wenchen with excitement.
The scene instantly became quiet, waiting for Su Wenchen to speak.
As a result, at this time, a baby held by a female worker stretched out its little hands in the cradle.
"Ah! Oh! Oh!"
He was shouting something in level ten baby language, as if wondering why everything had suddenly become quiet after being so lively just now!
Seeing this, Su Wenchen immediately walked over and said with a smile.
"It seems our little comrade is welcoming me home!"
Upon hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the venue.
Su Wenchen asked the young female employee directly.
"Can you give me a hug?"
Since Jiang Li is also pregnant now, Su Wenchen really has little resistance to the baby.
Hearing this, the female worker nodded happily.
"Yes, Director!"
Then he handed the little guy to Su Wenchen.
Su Wenchen looked at the other person's bright eyes with a hint of doubt, as if he was wondering who the person in front of him was.
After a moment, the little guy seemed to realize that this was indeed a stranger.
"Wow!"
He howled loudly.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen smiled and said.
"Oh, the little comrade is howling quite enthusiastically!"
As he returned the child to the female worker, he asked directly.
"How old is the child?"
After the female worker took it, she immediately said happily.
"Director, my farm just turned one year old. My wife and I got married two years ago when the farm was first built."
When Su Wenchen heard the name, he spoke directly.
"Is his name Weichang? What a good name! He's one of the first batch of farm children in our farm."
"Are there any difficulties in your daily life?"
Hearing Su Wenchen's question, the other party shook his head.
"Director, how can this be difficult? Everyone knows that our farm has the best welfare benefits in Lan City."
"In which other factories can we eat eggs every day? We even have meat dishes like stewed potatoes with chicken and spicy rabbit heads from time to time."
"We never have any leftover meal tickets that we give out, unlike some factories in the city, which only allow you to buy stewed cabbage with the money you give them. Even the amount of steamed bread you can buy is limited."
"If you want to eat something good, you have to buy it yourself!"
Su Wenchen smiled, but did not comment on other factories because each factory had different economic conditions.
Although they are all state-owned, the welfare benefits are actually different. Generally speaking, the benefits in large factories are generally better than those in small factories.
The wages and benefits of small factories are generally better than those of the handicraft workshops run by the communes and brigades.
So Su Wenchen said directly.
"Only when everyone is well fed can we have the energy to work!"
"But now that there are more and more farm children here, it's time to consider starting a red-raising class."
"This way everyone can just take time out to feed the baby. Otherwise, it's inconvenient to keep the baby with you all the time."
Hearing this, many female employees around suddenly brightened up.
"Director, do you really want to run a red education class?"
Obviously, the reason why female employees pay more attention to it is because a red-raising class basically selects female comrades, otherwise it will be inconvenient for them to breastfeed.
The second is that nowadays if there are no parents at home to help take care of the children, it is usually the mother who takes the children to work.
During this time, which is usually during breastfeeding, most companies allow employees to bring their children to work.
They even arrange separate feeding time for employees.
Moreover, as more children of factory workers come to work, educational facilities such as red education classes and primary schools will be arranged uniformly.
It can be said that from the time a child is born to the time he goes to school, the factory basically takes care of everything.
The factory also takes care of the birth, aging, illness and death of its employees.
In terms of material conditions, they were actually nothing compared to later times, but at that time, there was basically no anxiety about children's education and future.
So when faced with the confirmation of the female employees, Su Wenchen nodded.
“It must be done.”
"I'll ask the farm office to do a count of the children born in the farm now, and then see how many people to recruit for the first batch of red-raising classes."
"Okay, let's go back now!"
"Tonight we'll have a celebration banquet in the cafeteria after we slaughter two pigs. We'll also hold a commendation ceremony for the rabbit farm staff there. Otherwise, it'll be boring for you guys to just sit there."
After Su Wenchen finished speaking, the crowd gradually dispersed.
But everyone started discussing the celebration banquet and commendation meeting in the evening.
Especially the employees at the rabbit house, they are looking forward to it very much. After all, they have always been generous in terms of welfare.
After the employees gradually returned, Su Wenchen looked at the cadres in the field who had been standing by.
Apparently, when Su Wenchen was talking to ordinary employees just now, no one spoke up to interrupt him.
Because when the leader is talking to the grassroots employees, if you keep running over to interrupt and show that you understand, you will basically not get a good look in return.
Su Wenchen looked at Zhang Zhenhua who was quietly standing beside him.
"Comrade Zhenhua, thank you for your hard work during this period. The farm is very grateful to you for your support."
Zhang Zhenhua heard this and spoke quickly.
"Director, it's all thanks to you for laying a good foundation. I've been managing the chicken farm according to your old methods."
Su Wenchen blinked, looked at Han Yang behind him, and then looked at Zhang Zhenhua.
I didn't hallucinate either.
If Han Yang had said that just now, Su Wenchen would not be surprised at all.
But what Zhang Zhenhua said surprised him greatly.
Could it be that Comrade Han Yang has taken over his body?
On the other side, Han Yang was also looking at the other party in confusion. Was this bastard Zhang Zhenhua planning to take his position?
A moment.
Han Yang felt as if a huge word "danger" appeared above his head.
Is Zhang Zhenhua envious of his ability to win easily, so he is planning to follow his position?
As Director Su's number one follower, Han Yang said that this must not be allowed.
Zhang Zhenhua seemed to feel the surprise in Su Wenchen and Han Yang's eyes, and he felt a little embarrassed.
But there's nothing I can do.
His second uncle in the province called him and told him to work hard here, to stick closely to Su Wenchen's steps, and not to think about returning to Longshan Farm in the province, because there were more prospects at Lanshui Farm.
And according to his second uncle, there are big plans for the Blue Water Farm, and now other people in the province are unable to send people over even if they try their best.
He must seize this favorable opportunity.
Although Su Wenchen didn't quite understand why Zhang Zhenhua changed so quickly.
But he didn't worry too much about it, because now he didn't need to care too much about Zhang Zhenhua's backers in the province.
So I asked directly.
"Who organized this welcoming ceremony?"
"Old Han is not here. To be honest, I really can't think of anyone else who would like to do this."
Zhang Zhenhua felt a little embarrassed.
"Director, I organized it. It's a bit crude due to the rush of time. Mainly because I hadn't done anything before, so some of the considerations were not very thoughtful."
"It was mainly people from the commune primary school who went to greet the people from the commune."
Su Wenchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it was Zhang Zhenhua who did it, but he still said it.
"No, I think this is normal. After all, they are originally from the commune. Even if they go, they should go to the commune."
"By the way, Comrade Zhenhua, I asked you to prepare the receipts and certificates for the commendation in advance, right?"
Zhang Zhenhua responded immediately.
"It's ready. The ministry issued a document a few days ago. From now on, our farm's tickets will be issued exclusively by the ministry. Not only will our industrial tickets be doubled every month, but we'll also be allocated two precious TV tickets and other tickets."
Su Wenchen was not too surprised.
After all, they earn so much foreign exchange every year, so it is unlikely that the higher-ups will give them a share of the foreign exchange, but they will definitely be given more of this kind of bills.
"Well, this time we'll give one of the prizes to the rabbit hutch, and the farm will use the remaining one to purchase a TV."
"Let me think about where to put it, so I'll just put it in the cafeteria!"
Zhang Zhenhua was stunned and hesitated.
"Director, should we put it directly in the cafeteria? I'm afraid the employees will have to stay in the cafeteria after they finish their meals!"
"How about a TV room in the staff club?"
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"Doesn't the staff club have a cinema, a table tennis room, and other recreational activities?"
"Even if we squeeze out a TV room, it can only accommodate a few people, at most a few dozen."
"So we can just install it in the cafeteria. After all, our cafeteria was originally built to accommodate passing drivers, so it's big enough to accommodate at least a few hundred people at the same time."
"But our site is indeed a little too small, especially now that several tube-shaped buildings are slowly being built."
"Some family members have moved here too, and the living area has become more lively, but it looks a bit too crowded."
"Old Han, please find some time to communicate with the tannery over at the commune."
"Let them develop downstream and not expand towards our site, otherwise we won't have room to expand in our living area."
When Han Yang heard this, he agreed immediately.
"Okay, Director, I'll contact the tannery right away."
"Okay then. By the way, Comrade Zhenhua, where is Comrade Zheng Xianghong? Why haven't I seen her?"
After all, Su Wenchen felt that with Zheng Xianghong's sensitivity, she couldn't be sitting in the office waiting for him to see her at this time!
Zhang Zhenhua was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Director, Deputy Director Zheng is currently in charge of the business at Shiquan Field, so he might be too busy to come over."
Su Wenchen looked at Zhang Zhenhua in surprise as he put eye drops into Zheng Xianghong's ear.
He really didn't expect that Zhang Zhenhua, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, could actually use this trick.
It seems that he really hates Zheng Xianghong!
However, Su Wenchen just nodded and didn't say much, because Su Wenchen would not help Zheng Xianghong.
But he will not directly help Zhang Zhenhua suppress Zheng Xianghong.
Because it was only 1970 at that time, if he directly suppressed Zheng Xianghong, it might arouse the hostility of Secretary Zhou in the city.
Although their farm is no longer under the jurisdiction of the city, it is still within the city after all, and all the transfer and purchase of various materials also require contact with the city.
They also need to inform the city of any land they need for expansion.
Su Wenchen would never do such a losing business as to offend the city's top leader for some trivial matters!
And in fact, at this moment, the situation in their blue water field is also different from before.
In Su Wenchen's view, Zhang Zhenhua represents the support of some people in the province, and Zheng Xianghong will undoubtedly regain the support of the city in the future.
Since the city was unable to arrange personnel to their field, Zheng Xianghong was Secretary Zhou's only heir, and this chess piece would definitely be picked up and used again.
Han Yang is actually the embodiment of his own will. After all, if Su Wenchen is not in a position to handle some matters himself, he can let Han Yang come forward to raise them.
Therefore, Su Wenchen felt that the current Blue Water Field was still relatively stable, and if he wanted to deal with the province, he could let Zhang Zhenhua come forward.
If you want benefits from the city, let Zheng Xianghong take action.
Therefore, Su Wenchen felt that none of them could be lost for the time being, and he felt that instead of destroying them directly, the most useful thing was to make the enemy willingly serve me.
In fact, Su Wenchen knew that Zheng Xianghong's situation would not be particularly good in the future.
This person had left too ruthlessly before, so it is unlikely that she would have a good ending, unless she had a reason to force Su Wenchen or someone of a higher level to protect her.
Otherwise, she, Zhang Zhenhua and Han Yang, these three people, can now be said to be chess pieces on the chessboard of Lanshui Field.
There are different chess players behind each of them.
But in the end, Zheng Xianghong was probably the first chess piece to be eliminated.
Because they both came from the same background as Han Yang, with no background at all, but they were heading in two completely different directions.
One choice is to bend down a little bit and hold on to others to move forward.
One pulls others down and steps on others to move up.
Although the former will be ridiculed by others, the latter will undoubtedly offend many people.
This ability to offend people makes those who want to protect her later consider whether it is worth it.
Because most of life is about weighing the pros and cons.
Even Su Wenchen himself is actually a chess piece in another chess game at a higher level.
He is both a chess piece on the higher chessboard and a chess player on the lower chessboard.
Which chessboard would he end up on? Even Su Wenchen himself didn't know.
Pig farm.
When Su Wenchen arrived at the pigsty, it was already dusk and bright yellow lights had already been turned on in the pigsty.
Su Wenchen put on rubber boots and climbed into the pigpen.
Xiao Zhou had just poured the evening pig feed into the trough.
In a pigpen, five second-generation hybrid white pigs were grunting and eating from the trough.
“Bang!”
Su Wenchen slapped the back of a white pig with black stripes. Feeling the thick back of the pig, he asked Xiao Zhou beside him directly.
"Wow, this pork loin is good!"
"And the fat doesn't look any less! It's just as fat as those big black pigs that are only a year old."
"Xiao Zhou, how much does this second-generation hybrid white pig weigh?"
Seeing Su Wenchen's satisfied look, Xiao Zhou introduced it excitedly.
"Director, I just weighed it a few days ago, and it was 367.2 jin."
"It must be three hundred and sixty-eight pounds now."
"But we've only raised this pig for over a year. If it weren't kept as a breeding stock, it would have been slaughtered long ago."
"At about six months old, he weighed 250 to 260 kilograms. Even though he was well fed and well cared for during the next six months, his growth was much slower."
"So according to our records, if we extend the time until slaughter, the weight difference between white and black pigs is actually not that big."
"But in six months, the white pigs are far superior to the black pigs."
Su Wenchen nodded.
"That's right. Six months to reach the standard for slaughter is much better than the current ten months."
"Also, there's no need to raise ordinary pigs too fat. If you continue to raise them after they reach adulthood, the meat yield won't be that cost-effective."
"Over 200 pounds in six months is enough."
"Come on, take me to see the third generation pig."
Su Wenchen looked at a long row of pig pens, with basically four or five pigs in each pen, and asked directly.
"How many pigs are there in our pig farm now?"
Xiao Zhou, who was leading the way in front, turned around and replied when he heard this.
"The first generation of pigs are still being bred with the imported white boar, but the number of piglets born by sows has decreased since the third litter."
"So the last two sows of the first generation were also taken away by the canteen this morning."
"As for the second generation, there are now a total of 47 pigs, including 22 boars and 25 sows."
"But as for the boars, Master Fan thinks it's enough to select and breed the ten best ones, and the rest can be ready for slaughter. However, this matter hasn't been finalized while you're away."
"The third generation of piglets was born not long ago. There are only 28 piglets in four litters. However, compared with the second generation, the mortality rate of the third generation is significantly lower."
"So far, the mortality rate of the second generation of selectively bred pigs we have bred has reached 27 percent."
"Most of these deaths are caused by parasitic infections, most of which are roundworm infections, and most of the deaths occur in piglets under two months old."
"So for this third generation of piglets, Section Chief Tan led us to build a new piglet house, and everyone who enters must undergo strict disinfection measures."
"So far, the mortality rate of our third generation of piglets is only 9%, and several of these were weak piglets that were killed by the sows."
"Master Fan said this is some kind of sow selective culling of weak piglets, and this method has a clear genetic predisposition in the Taihu pigs in Hangzhou."
"So now we have a dedicated person to monitor every birth. If we encounter skinny piglets, they will be taken out early and bottle-fed."
Su Wenchen nodded.
"This white pig originally came from the Hangzhou Pig Breeding Experimental Farm. It has some Taihu pig genes, so it's normal."
As they were talking, the two of them walked to the piglet house.
I happened to see Vanderford, who was changing clothes, coming out from inside.
"Hey, Director, you're here. I was just thinking about changing my clothes to attend the commendation meeting at the rabbit house!"
After seeing Su Wenchen, Fan Defu didn't even change his clothes and showed a happy expression.
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Even though the rabbit farm has achieved good results, our pig farm can't fall behind!"
"Earning foreign exchange is important, but the white pigs we breed are the most important thing for people across the country to eat meat."
"Don't underestimate yourselves."
"As long as these third generation piglets grow up safely and can prove their genetic stability, we'll hold a larger commendation ceremony just for you."
"Maybe our entire farm will have to go to the department to attend the commendation meeting!"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Fan Defu's mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing a row of neat yellow teeth.
"Director, we don't dare to think about going to the department, but I've remembered what you said about holding a commendation meeting for our pig farm."
Vanderford, who has been taking good care of these piglets during this period, knows very well that the third generation of piglets is healthier than the second generation.
As long as they can grow up safely, they should be able to meet the standards for slaughtering as meat pigs within six months.
By then, it will be possible to prove that the small spotted pigs with black stripes that they have bred have stably inherited the ability of white pigs to be marketed quickly.
They will be as glorious as the rabbit house workers today. Thinking of this, Vanderford grinned again unconsciously.
"Director, would you like to go in and take a look?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Since I'm here, I won't miss a few minutes. I'll change my clothes and go in to take a look."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhou immediately took out a new set of work clothes from the dressing room.
"Director, no one uses this set, it's all brand new!"
After changing his clothes, Su Wenchen entered the piglet house.
The "grunting" here is obviously much better than that in the pigpen, although a bunch of little pigs are also grunting constantly.
But the sound is definitely not as loud as that of an adult pig.
What surprised Su Wenchen the most was that he could actually see the attributes of these newborn piglets.
When he was in the pigpen earlier, Su Wenchen could see the second-generation pig, but that was because he personally fed the second-generation pig when it was born.
But the third generation pig was born when Su Wenchen was in Guangzhou City, and he had never touched it before.
Glance at the other party's attributes.
【Third Generation Hybrid Pig LV1】
Current stage: Infancy
Current breeding direction: Fattening pig LV2. After successful breeding, the growth rate will increase by 20%, the meat taste will improve by 20%, the disease resistance will increase by 20%, and the food intake will increase by 20%.
[Fattening pig feed formula: Chinese yam 5%, Codonopsis pilosula 2%, Astragalus 0.1%, Lycium barbarum 0.015%]
Introduction: This pig breed is a third-generation high-quality pig breed after hybridization and breeding. It inherits the excellent characteristics of both the paternal and maternal lines, and has the advantages of strong adaptability, strong disease resistance, strong digestion ability, and fast growth.
This pig inherited the maternal "survival" attribute, which allows it to quickly adapt to various extreme environments and prolong the treatment time for rapidly fatal diseases.
After discovering that it had entered the cultivation stage directly, Su Wenchen also understood a little.
"Old Fan, you're feeding the piglets fattening pig feed now!"
Vanderfu looked at Su Wenchen in surprise.
"Director, you can see this!"
"We are indeed using sow milk mixed with the fattening feed you brought back from Shanghai to make transitional feed after thirty days."
"Because after the experiment, we found that the piglets absorbed this mixed fattening feed unexpectedly well."
"Plantlets also grow much faster at this stage. If we feed them a fattening feed after 30 days, they'll adapt much more easily than if weaned directly. Judging by their current size, the time to market can be shortened by at least 30 days."
"Director, look over there are the piglets that are weaned until they are sixty days old."
"Look, isn't it obviously much smaller in size?"
Su Wenchen looked towards the circle that Fan Defu pointed to and found that the piglet there was obviously much smaller.
"Were they all born in the same batch? That's definitely a lot smaller."
"It seems that your idea is indeed very good."
Moreover, Su Wenchen felt that in this way, he didn’t need to feed it himself, and he could also see that the attributes were still quite good.
Hearing Su Wenchen's praise, Fan Defu waved his hand.
"That's not something I came up with. Xiao Zhou learned it from chatting with the breeders at Qianjin Farm in Shanghai."
"They say they use the three-three system to feed piglets: 30 days of breast milk, 30 days of transition feed, and 30 days of fattening feed. This can effectively shorten the time to market and help the piglets grow faster."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he also looked at Xiao Zhou with appreciation.
"Well done. I think this method is very good. At least it can be promoted in our field."
"Work hard, and when these piglets reach the standard for market, we will commend and reward you all."
When Xiao Zhou heard this, he pulled his clothes embarrassedly.
"Director, I just heard someone say something casually, how can I be recognized individually?"
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"You have made contributions to the farm, and the farm should also reward you. Okay, you have done a good job on the pig farm during this period."
"However, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The closer we get to the end, the more crucial it becomes. We can't let our guard down at the last moment and let our efforts fall by the wayside!"
"Let's go to the cafeteria first. The commendation meeting there should be ready."
Xiao Zhou waved his hand.
"Director, I'm here to take over from Master Fan. Please come over!"
Su Wenchen looked around.
"Why are there only two of you in the pigpen?"
Xiao Zhou shook his head.
"No, the night shift can't come until after dinner!"
"When there are piglets, we usually have two shifts here at the pig farm, so we have to keep someone there. It's usually not a big deal, but it's mainly to prevent any accidents!"
Su Wenchen nodded seriously.
"It's indeed possible if you're more careful."
"Okay, I'll have the cafeteria reserved for those of you on duty later."
