This solves the raw material problem for sugar workshops.
This also helps to solve part of the food problem.
However, the issue of oil usage still needs to be addressed.
In addition, Gu Yunyang also planned to obtain more grain, which led to this suggestion.
Next, Hao Jianshe asked Gu Yunyang how much land he wanted to reclaim.
Gu Yunyang immediately mentioned a thousand acres.
Hao Jianshe was startled: "Can you manage to clear all the land? Besides, such a large forest can't possibly be cleared by you all. If that happens, the Forestry Bureau will come knocking on my door and cause me trouble."
He'll have to discuss this with the Forestry Bureau.
Gu Yunyang knew this too, but he always tried to negotiate the price down to the minimum.
He is also well-versed in this.
After some back and forth, Hao Jianshe finally made the final decision: "I'll give you fifty mu of land for now. If it's too big, the Forestry Bureau might not be able to say anything. Also, if it works well, I'll try to get you another fifty mu next year."
Okay, they cut it by twenty times.
But Gu Yunyang was already very satisfied.
If we calculate based on 400 catties of grain per mu, then 50 mu would yield 20,000 catties of grain.
How long would it take three female educated youths to finish eating?
Of course, there are some chaff and other things inside that need to be removed, but it's not a big problem.
Zhou Zhigang originally didn't want to get involved in this matter; he wanted to find a quiet place to think carefully about what to do next.
But thinking back on my attitude just now, it seems a bit different from before.
Although he offered an explanation, what if it gets out?
It might even attract attention and suspicion from others.
Zhou Zhigang added, "These newly reclaimed lands also require the payment of public grain. Remember to add that to the acreage count for your brigade."
This is how you make amends.
Gu Yunyang was speechless. Why did he have to add this now of all times?
Gu Yunyang said, "These fifty mu of land of ours are wasteland, and not paddy fields at all. We can only grow things like peanuts and sweet potatoes. When it's time to pay the grain tax, can we deliver sweet potatoes?"
Delivering rice grains is definitely not an option.
If it's sweet potatoes, then there's no problem.
Anyway, the Hongqi Brigade planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the orchard this year, more than enough.
Zhou Zhigang wanted to say something more, but Gu Yunyang was right.
That piece of land on the mountain was still barren and uncultivated, with infertile soil.
It's not a paddy field, so you can't grow rice there.
Wheat can actually be grown in Guangdong Province, but the yield is low, so very few people grow it.
Gu Yunyang's goal was also to solve the problem of oil consumption, so it was impossible for him to grow wheat.
As for sorghum and the like, they don't taste good to begin with, so Gu Yunyang doesn't plan to plant them.
He himself had enough oil to eat, but he also wanted to help solve the problem of oil consumption for the other people in the brigade.
Moreover, if the Hongqi Brigade can resolve some of the oil issues, they can also recoup a considerable amount of money.
He could then discuss with the commune and several factories about using the oil pressed by the Hongqi Brigade to provide holiday benefits for these areas during the Spring Festival.
I believe it will sell very well.
After finishing that topic, Hao Jianshe mentioned a few more things.
In fact, many things don't need to be discussed in meetings.
But that's just how things are in China; they hold meetings, but there are no direct solutions.
Gu Yunyang sat there idly, using his supernatural abilities to ripen a batch of sweet potatoes.
This is what he uses to select mutant seeds.
If you've used up a lot of energy, you can meditate to recover some.
Finally, Hao Jianshe suddenly said, "The last question is about the theft at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Zhou Zhigang suddenly felt a jolt of fear; he was afraid that this matter was related to him.
Deep down, he wondered if Hao Jianshe's sudden statement was a ploy to make things difficult for him.
In an instant, Zhou Zhigang made up his mind: "It seems I have to cut ties with Director Du. I wasn't involved in those things, so they have nothing to do with me."
