Hao Jianshe also knew that it was not good to assign several more female educated youths to the Hongqi Brigade at once.
However, the commune could not possibly allocate grain to the Red Flag Brigade.
Or perhaps we could give the Red Flag Brigade a job opening?
That won't work either.
Other brigades must be watching this good thing too.
If three female educated youths are assigned, one job position will be provided for them.
The other brigades would be furious.
But the commune didn't have anything else of value, so it was difficult to make arrangements all at once.
Hao Jianshe glanced at Gu Yunyang, and seeing his confident look, he said impatiently, "Just say what you want."
This kid clearly wants something, but he's just pretending.
Gu Yunyang chuckled and said, "That's right. Our brigade has the smallest arable land area in the entire commune. But we can't cut down all the orchards and turn them into terraces. That would damage the soil structure and could lead to soil erosion in the future."
"Stop with the nonsense and get down to business," Hao Jianshe interrupted Gu Yunyang, telling him to state his demands directly.
Hao Jianshe and his colleagues didn't understand things like soil erosion.
Gu Yunyang spoke with such seriousness, could there really be such a thing?
If anyone asked, Gu Yunyang would definitely tell them to look up the Loess Plateau.
Of course, the reason why there are no trees on the Loess Plateau is not because of this; he was just using it as a reference.
Gu Yunyang chuckled and said, "That's right. Could we clear some land in the mountains near our brigade? We plan to rotate crops like soybeans, corn, and sweet potatoes to supplement our food supply. We can't keep dragging the commune down every year, can we? We want to do our best, and we're hoping to be recognized for our achievements every year."
No one believed the last sentence.
Not rolling your eyes is already the best attitude you can give them.
They were also recognized for their excellence.
In which year wasn't I criticized?
Gu Yunyang's request surprised the captains of the other brigades.
Can they make the same request?
But thinking about it, that would mean clearing land, which would be very tiring.
Although we no longer eat from the same pot, it's not so easy to get them to work hard.
Clearing land is a very difficult task.
Just think about it and let it go.
The other brigades were located in places unlike the Red Flag Brigade, which was situated in a basin deep in the mountains.
If you want to farm, you have to clear land.
The original farmland was definitely not enough.
If you want to increase the cultivated area, the only way is to reclaim wasteland. This involves clearing land on the mountains and carrying out a series of activities to create new arable land.
Hao Jianshe was also taken aback, not expecting Gu Yunyang to say that.
Clearing land is no easy task.
With just a tap of their lips, it was done.
Hao Jianshe asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure? Reclaiming wasteland is no simple matter. The country has been developing the Great Northern Wilderness for several years now, but there haven't been any significant results. You should know that."
In fact, many of the educated youth sent to the countryside went to the Great Northern Wilderness.
It started in 1958 when 100,000 demobilized soldiers were sent to the Great Northern Wilderness, marking the beginning of a period of large-scale development in the Great Northern Wilderness.
There are just too many young people in the city, and the government thought that this would be a good source of labor.
This led to the development of the Great Northern Wilderness by a million educated youth.
People like Gu Yunyang who come to Guangdong Province are actually a minority.
Gu Yunyang nodded; he had actually had this idea for a long time.
But there was no excuse to bring it up.
At other times, it would probably be difficult for the commune to approve it.
But at this critical juncture, with two female educated youths already gone and three more to be forcibly sent to the Red Flag Brigade, there were two more female educated youths already gone.
The timing was the most likely time for Gu Yunyang to make this request.
As expected, Gu Yunyang brought it up, and Hao Jianshe only gave a couple of reminders. Gu Yunyang confirmed the request, and Hao Jianshe then looked at Zhou Zhigang: "Deputy Secretary Zhou, what do you think?"
