"Yes, Captain Qin, the people above, we will definitely post the recruitment list within three days. If you are not selected, we will definitely give a convincing explanation." The county magistrate promised.
Qin Xiao nodded and gestured for him to look at the project list.
The county magistrate took a deep breath, made all mental preparations, and looked at the project list again. He felt so shaky that he could only persevere by gritting his teeth.
After a long pause, he said, "To be honest, Captain Qin, I'm planning to ask you today if there are any other ways to alleviate our current labor shortage."
Qin Xiao raised his eyelids in a cold manner, and the corners of his eyes curved into a sharp arc like a knife, "County Head, the tractor factory has requested support from the nearby production team. Now is the slack season, and I think we should be able to get support from the production team before next year's spring plowing.
Also, if we can quickly organize a tractor factory to produce tractors and plows, we won’t need so many people for spring plowing.”
Before leaving, Qin Xiao handed over several plowing drawings given by Ji Xia to the county magistrate. Originally, the plowing tools were also planned to be given to the tractor factory, but Qin Xiao suggested that they be produced by the agricultural implement factory because the tractor factory was already operating at overload.
After Qin Xiao left, the county magistrate slumped in his chair. He once again looked at the list of projects in his hand: engine factory, rubber factory, raw material factory, tire factory, foundry...
Finally, I couldn't help but break down.
When the secretary came in, he saw the county magistrate leaning over the table with his shoulders hunched. He had absolutely no doubt that the county magistrate was crying. He patted his shoulder and said, "Old man, what are you doing?"
The two have been partners for many years, one gentle and the other tough, and they work very well together.
The county magistrate wiped his tears on his sleeve. When he looked up, only the redness of his eyes could be seen, but there was no sign of recent crying. He handed the list of projects in his hand to the secretary, "Take a look!"
Wei Zhenguo was also shocked when he took a look at it, but neither of them could possibly think of giving up these projects. "Then we have to do it even if it's difficult!"
Zhang Liangjun also forced himself to stand up. "I'll have the police station arrange for someone to investigate these people, and have the farm implement factory make these two plows. You're the only one who can mobilize the commune production team for support."
Wei Zhenguo had just returned from the factory production line. When he heard that Qin Xiao had been over, he hurried back.
"Let's split up and do our work."
Fortunately, it was sunny today. Although the roads were still covered with snow, dog sleds, donkey sleds, and ox sleds were running in all directions from the county. The secretaries of each commune rushed to the county as soon as possible to notify an emergency meeting. No one knew what was going on, but they were all very anxious.
Some production teams didn’t even have a few cotton-padded jackets, and had to borrow some to wear when going out.
The mobilization meeting was held in the county auditorium. Wei Zhenguo stood in front of the stage with a scruffy beard. This image surprised the commune secretaries who were familiar with him.
Wei Zhenguo is a retired soldier. He always pays attention to hygiene. Anyone who is sloppy will be criticized by him if he sees them.
No matter how worn his clothes were, he insisted on being very neat, and his hair and beard were kept very clean, with a crew cut and a shaved face, and he would never bring shame to his military background.
Now, his hair can be tied up, and his beard almost covers his face. If you weren't familiar with him, you would almost suspect that he had been replaced.
"Everyone, although it may seem embarrassing to stand before you in this image today, I am actually very happy and proud. In the past month, I haven't been home once. I have been supporting the construction on the front lines, eating and sleeping at the factory, and rarely even returning to the office."
All the secretaries were extremely shocked. They had heard long ago that the county was so busy that even the street sweepers were drafted into service. They had not expected that even the county secretaries would not be spared.
"We've called you here today to join the county's industrial development effort. At least until next year's spring plowing season, we need the support of your communes. Not just you, but you'll also need to mobilize everyone in each production team to participate..."
In this era, we must move forward even if there are no difficulties, and we must overcome them and move forward even if there are difficulties.
After Wei Zhenguo asked each commune and factory to form a one-on-one assistance group, he spoke briefly, requiring each commune to bring people to the county town tomorrow, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Time is more than just money now.
After the secretary of Tuanjie Commune returned, he asked all production teams to hold a meeting immediately.
All members of the Seventh Production Team are already engaged in construction. Ji Xia said that he would get them a few more agricultural machines next year. They need to repair the road and build the primary school as soon as possible before the spring plowing.
The two excavators were shoveling snow on the road, and the tractors were not idle either. After the road was cleared, the snow was dragged away and dumped with the tractors. As for fuel, Ji Xia had prepared several barrels for them before leaving, so they would not be short of it for the time being.
After receiving a notice from the secretary to attend a meeting, Ji Changgeng finished his work and hurried there on his dog sled. However, he was still late despite his best efforts.
The secretary of the fifth production team laughed after seeing this and said, "Chang Geng is late. Their production team probably doesn't want to go to the county to provide support. Why don't we send more people over?"
Going to the county to provide support means you get three meals a day and can also earn work points. Although the work is not easy, it is better than working in the fields.
Besides, many families cannot even get enough food to eat while staying at home during the winter, so this is also a way out.
Those who arrived early already knew the theme of the meeting, were very excited, and were vying for indicators.
Ji Changgeng was a little confused, but he also knew that the secretary of the fifth production team had bad intentions. It was nothing. The two teams were close to each other and often had friction over water and various other things, and they had never gotten along.
