Which brigade wouldn't want more?
At the same time, this is also a project with a lot of lucrative profits.
Back in an era when everyone was thin, Zhou Zhigang's slightly protruding belly was somewhat similar to the beer belly of later generations.
You can tell from that.
Zhou Zhigang was furious, but he still insisted, "Which brigade in the commune doesn't need one? The Red Flag Brigade is always at the bottom..."
“Deputy Secretary Zhou.” Gu Yunyang interrupted Zhou Zhigang again, making his face turn ugly. Before Zhou Zhigang could get angry, Gu Yunyang hurriedly said, “The Red Flag Brigade is lagging behind, but there are objective reasons for that. Our geographical location and the amount of farmland are what they are.”
If you don't ensure the fertilizer is distributed fairly and in the correct quantity, the Hongqi Brigade will never rise to prominence. Isn't the Hongqi Brigade a part of the Baishi Commune?
Zhou Zhigang dared not accept that.
In the end, Zhou Zhigang could only agree: "Okay, I'll get the fertilizer sorted out for you this year."
Gu Yunyang immediately stood up, and under Zhou Zhigang's questioning gaze, Gu Yunyang took out paper and pen from his crossbody bag: "In that case, Deputy Secretary Zhou, would you like to get the note for me to confirm first? I'll take the note to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up the goods later."
"You wouldn't believe it, the rice has been planted for a while now, and it's time to fertilize it. Otherwise, the yield will be too low, and we won't be able to pay our grain tax."
Zhou Zhigang's face was ashen, as if he had eaten a dead rat.
But just as he opened his mouth, Hao Jianshe was watching from the side.
He was speechless.
It's truly rare to hear Gu Yunyang use the honorific "you" (您).
Unfortunately, the other party was after his own note.
He was caught in a dilemma and had no choice but to quickly write the note.
Gu Yunyang took the note and handed over the paper and pen again: "It also includes the amount of fertilizer we were short of in previous years."
In total, there must be a thousand bags.
The commune should at least deliver on its promises, right? It can't just be a matter of saying we've received it on paper, but in reality, we haven't received it.
Zhou Zhigang was furious.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only angrily accept the note and write it down again.
But in reality, even though the note says so, you still have to go through the supply and marketing cooperative to get the goods.
Gu Yunyang took the note and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Deputy Secretary Zhou. I'll come to your office later and get it stamped so I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to collect it."
Damn it.
Is the character "副" (fù) a form of cheating?
Actually, don't be fooled by the note saying there are a thousand bags of fertilizer.
It also needs to be divided into nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, etc.
Potash fertilizer is the most expensive and also the least available.
When broken down, there aren't actually that many.
This is the current situation.
China's domestic industrial base is weak, and fertilizers are mainly imported from Russia in the north.
There is a lack of funds in various places.
In a few years, relations with Russia will deteriorate, and the fertilizer shortage will become even greater.
We had no choice but to import from the West.
Not only are they expensive, but the quantity is also insufficient.
The Hongqi Brigade, as a single brigade, only produces a few hundred bags of fertilizer a year.
Everything else depends on farmyard manure.
So these days, even if people are holding it in, they still have to go back to the toilet.
The saying "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders" originates from this.
In addition, hybrid rice did not exist at that time, so the yield of rice per mu was not high.
The yield of rice per mu in Baishi Commune is only 400 jin.
There is a 30% to 40% loss when processing rice into rice.
After paying the grain tax, the Red Flag Brigade really didn't have enough to eat.
Therefore, every household has to grow sweet potatoes and pumpkins.
Gu Yunyang thought of his parents from his previous life and he especially disliked eating sweet potato rice and pumpkin rice.
It's because I ate too much when I was a child that every time I eat, I think of those difficult times.
"Come back and cover it up after the meeting."
