When the villagers at the village meeting heard about the "Five Sons Passing the Imperial Examination" method, they were all dumbfounded and started discussing it amongst themselves.
He Dabing, who was standing to the side, said while smoking his water pipe, "Quiet, quiet, let Dazhu finish speaking."
The villagers stopped talking.
He Dazhu continued.
"The Five Sons Ascending to the Imperial Examination Method can be simply described as: wearing a hat on the mountaintop, tying a belt on the mountainside, building a platform at the foot of the mountain, laying a carpet on the flat ground, and building a pond at the entrance."
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, He Dazhu quickly explained.
"The biggest problem in our Shihua Village is that we can't retain water."
"Because there are no trees on our mountaintop, it's all bare. After a heavy rain, the water can't be retained at all; it all flows away on the surface."
"Therefore, we need to build artificial forests on the mountaintop to retain water resources."
"The 'mountain top tying the kidneys' refers to actively planting cash crops on land that has been converted from farmland to forest. It's useless to keep planting corn, as corn cannot solve the problem of poverty."
"And the more they plant, the poorer they become."
“I suggest we plant walnut trees. Walnut trees have a high chance of survival in an environment like our village.”
Everyone was stunned, and He Dabing, who was standing to the side, also stopped smoking his pipe.
He Dazhu was not talking nonsense; he was genuinely trying to find a way out for the village.
He Dazhu continued, "Building platforms at the foot of the mountain means that for gentle slopes with a gradient of less than 25 degrees, we can create platforms that conserve soil, fertilizer, and water by converting the slope into terraces."
"Plain carpet" means to establish high-yield farmland on flat land in the mountains with good water sources and relatively flat terrain. This mainly refers to the Lingtangzi area of Shihua Village.
The more they listened, the more engrossed they became.
The villagers of Shihua Village are mostly ordinary farmers who have not received much education, and they admire He Dazhu for what he said.
"The last point, building a biogas digester in each household, means that every household must build a biogas digester and a water cellar to store water and solve the energy and water problems."
He Dabing sighed and said, "It's because we've never had a biogas digester here and have always used firewood that the trees on the mountain have been cut down more and more."
"Ultimately, the reason why our village is experiencing rocky desertification is largely due to our own actions."
Li Danian suddenly stood up.
"What Dazhu said does make a lot of sense."
"But there is one problem that we have never been able to solve, which is that apart from your family, Chen Niu's family and Village Chief He's family, who are somewhat wealthy, the other families in Shihua Village are basically poor."
"Let alone building water cellars and biogas digesters, we might not even have the money to buy a single sapling."
Upon hearing Li Danian's words, everyone's burning passion was immediately dampened by a bucket of cold water.
It was completely chilling, from head to toe.
Every villager present was dressed in tattered clothes and worn-out slippers; some children didn't even have shoes.
He Dazhu immediately felt a tremendous pressure.
What Li Danian said is indeed a problem that urgently needs to be solved.
He Dazhu said, "Don't worry, everyone. You just focus on moving the stones, and I'll take care of the rest."
"I will prepare saplings and tools for everyone."
"We have only one goal: to transform Shihua Village into a paradise on earth."
"Waiting is not the solution; only action brings hope."
"Practical work revitalizes the village!!!"
Hearing that He Dazhu was willing to help everyone solve the problems of seedlings and tools, everyone suddenly became enthusiastic again.
The villagers of Shihua Village have now been driven to a point where they have no way out and must fight against fate.
Suddenly He Dabing shouted, "Waiting is not the solution; only action brings hope."
"Practical work revitalizes the village!!!"
Thunderous applause immediately filled the hall.
It went on for a long time without stopping.
Some villagers were even moved to tears, as if they had seen a savior.
After the conference ended, He Dazhu returned to Li Xianggui's house and began to take the first step in putting a hat on the mountaintop.
Although He Dazhu spoke passionately at the meeting, he also had his worries when it came to actually getting started.
The cost of saplings, tools, manpower, and hiring experts—just thinking about all of this gave He Dazhu a headache.
Ultimately, it all comes down to He Dazhu being short of money; with money, everything would be much easier.
drop--
Suddenly a long, drawn-out hooting sound came from outside.
Liu Sichun and Li Xianggui both looked outside, their eyes widening as if they had seen a fairy descending to earth.
He Dazhu also looked over.
The people who came were none other than Bai Ling and Ye Caijie.
The two were dressed in jewels and luxury brands, many of which He Dazhu did not recognize.
However, He Dazhu recognized the Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked in Li Xianggui's yard; it must cost at least a million.
The G-Class had already attracted a crowd of villagers. Several children, not fully dressed, stood by, staring blankly at the enormous vehicle, looking completely bewildered.
Ye Caijie greeted He Dazhu with a smile, saying, "Finding Doctor He is truly not easy; it requires traversing countless mountains and rivers."
"I had to ask for directions the whole way before I finally found it, and the road in your village really tests your driving skills."
Bai Ling chimed in from the side.
Li Xianggui and Liu Sichun were stunned by the powerful aura of the two.
He Dazhu hurriedly went to greet him.
"No wonder I felt the wind had a sweet smell today, it turns out Boss Bai and Boss Ye have arrived."
Bai Ling said with a smile, "He Dazhu, you've become much sweeter these past few days."
Guihua, standing to the side, stared at everyone with a dark expression.
Seeing this, He Dazhu quickly gave a brief introduction, thus averting a fierce battle.
"I didn't realize He Dazhu was keeping a mistress." Ye Caijie joked.
Liu Sichun and Li Xianggui blushed immediately.
He Dazhu changed the subject.
"Mr. Ye, why are you back in our village today?"
"He Dazhu, you don't know, but the health products our company developed using the honey you provided have received unanimous praise from customers, and the products sold out almost overnight."
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye."
"So the purpose of my visit this time is to establish a long-term partnership with you."
"Our company plans to use this product to enter the domestic market and compete with the industry leaders."
"As for the price, it will be the same as last time, still one thousand per catty."
One thousand per kilogram?
Upon hearing this number, Li Xianggui's expression changed drastically; she was startled.
Li Xianggui nudged He Dazhu from the side, saying, "Dazhu, hurry up and agree! This is a great opportunity to make money."
However, He Dazhu's face looked grim.
He hesitated to agree to Ye Caijie's request.
Ye Caijie asked, "What? Is the price too low?"
"If the price is low, we can discuss it further."
He Dazhu said, "That's not it, it's more like..."
