The villagers in Group 1 and Group 2 said that they should just buy it in the village. Didn’t the government provide funding?
Some people even said that group three had taken advantage in the first year and made money, so they might as well just say that group three had paid for it, and everyone would be even!
The villagers in Group 3 were so angry that they almost fought with them on the spot.
Huo Qianli finally understood what they were planning. It was fine if the government had no money before, but it was impossible for him to live a good life with his small piece of land.
Now that the government has money, people have to think of every way possible to take advantage of the government. Every extra point taken from the government is equivalent to earning one more point for themselves!
In the end, the matter was handled in the same old way. Huo Qianli appealed to the emotions of most of the villagers who could be persuaded, and Gu Daqiang, Zhan Baoxing and Gu Chengde "reasoned" with the stubborn troublemakers, and the situation was finally settled.
After finishing that job, a group of people, together with Mr. Hu and Mr. Tang, went to Gu Daqiang's house for a drink.
Zhan Baoxing cursed, "Look at us, we don't even have an office space now, we run around here and there all day, exhausted like idiots, what's the point! You bastards are not satisfied with just one day! You always make trouble for me!"
Gu Chengde held the wine glass in his hand and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about it after we finish the fight. There won't be anything left to do after this."
"Not necessarily." Gu Daqiang shook his head and looked at the two of them, "There's one more thing."
Under the puzzled gaze of Zhan Baoxing and Gu Chengde, Huo Qianli looked at Mr. Hu and said, "Mr. Hu, can you tell me?"
Mr. Hu nodded, looked at the two and uttered a word, "Seedlings."
"Seedlings?" Gu Chengde frowned. "Didn't we say we'd use the reed head propagation method? Why do we need seedlings?"
Old Hu said, "You need reed heads to propagate reed heads! Last year we didn't have enough reed heads, so Xiao Tang and I went to a nearby village to collect some. We didn't have money at the time, and we were afraid that people would raise the price, so we didn't tell anyone. I thought that if the whole village followed suit this year, the planting area would be larger, and there would be even less reed heads, so we selected three acres of land in advance and used the intensive planting method to grow a batch of reed heads. The one-year growth cycle is just enough for use."
Huo Qianli took over the conversation, "I just learned about this as well. Mr. Hu has considered it very carefully. But this involves a problem. If we plant Salvia miltiorrhiza on three acres of land, the harvest will be nearly 1,500 kilograms. According to the purchase price, it will be more than 10,000 yuan in income! If it is evenly distributed to each household in the three groups, it will be nearly 500 yuan per family. The three groups have made such a great sacrifice, it is impossible for them to give it away for free, right?"
Zhan Baoxing and Gu Chengde looked at each other. Their two groups together had more than 60 households. According to this number, on average each household would have to give more than 200 yuan, nearly 300 yuan.
Including the previous fertilizer, I have already spent hundreds of dollars before I even do anything.
So Gu Chengde lowered his head and drank, while Zhan Baoxing took a puff of his cigarette, "Hey, Officer Huo, how about this?"
Huo Qianli shook his head directly. "This money is given to the three groups separately. If we use the cooperative's money to give them, wouldn't it be a mess?"
Zhan Baoxing's plan failed, so he came up with another one, "How about this? The cooperative will advance the money first, and then when the goods are delivered next year, we will get the money and deduct the cost of the reed head."
At this time, it was Gu Daqiang's turn to speak. He said with a stern face, "You need to sign and fingerprint, no one can be missed, otherwise you will be in trouble if you refuse to pay the debt later!"
Zhan Baoxing and Gu Chengde nodded quickly and agreed, promising to take care of this matter when they returned.
Thinking back on what happened in the past few days, Huo Qianli felt exhausted after hanging up the phone with Secretary Li.
"I don't know how their agreement is going!"
He muttered and walked towards the meeting room in the row of bungalows where the crew lived.
Because the reconstruction of the village committee had not been completed yet, Huo Qianli, Gu Daqiang, Jiang Qingyue and others were crowded in this conference room to work.
Just as he took a few steps, he heard an anxious shout from behind him, "Cadre Huo! Cadre Huo! It's bad! Something happened!"
He turned his head sharply and looked at a villager who seemed to be from Group 2, and asked quickly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
In the bungalow, Gu Daqiang and Gu Haitao also rushed out.
The villager bent over and took two breaths, swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat, "There were three people in our group who didn't want to pay for the seedlings, so they went to the neighboring village to ask for reed heads, but they ended up fighting with others and were detained!"
