In the past few years and during the rainy season last year, a lot of farmland in their village was flooded.

We experienced a drought the year before last, and many crops died, so everyone has been wanting to build a dam, but unfortunately we had no money.

Now that the conditions are in place, the elders have brought it up in order to take precautions against future disasters, fearing that there will be flooding or drought next year.

Song Chu originally built the breeding farm to improve the living standards of the villagers. When building the farm, he made a rule that when the village needed money to build a project or do something meaningful, the breeding farm needed to allocate funds.

She let Tang Youhua be the site manager because he was most likely to always enforce this rule.

Hearing her uncle's words, she agreed, "Building a dam is good. Not only can it regulate rain, floods and droughts, but it can also raise fish."

"Now my cousin is the director of the farm. You and him can organize a meeting of the whole village. I believe it should be passed unanimously. After the dam is repaired, go buy some fish fry and put them in. When they grow up, not only can the villagers share them, but you can also sell them."

Song Chu smiled and said, "In the future, the food processing factories in the county will also accept live fish."

She wanted to eat fish balls, so the food processing factory could add a fish ball production line.

A few days ago, several commune secretaries went to the county economic office together, wanting to apply for economic or project support. She is still considering what to do.

Some communes are suitable for opening breeding farms, and they can be built according to their village’s model and experience.

However, some communes are not suitable for opening farms, and planting fruit trees and the like is not promoted now. We have to wait until the land contract system is introduced.

Large-scale fish farming is a good project. She knows how to prepare fish feed, and oxygen equipment is not difficult to manufacture.

If there is a suitable commune, you can also open a fish feed farm. It has small investment and high returns, which is very good.

The fish raised can be exported. If they cannot be sold, the food processing factories can take them over. Not only can they be processed into raw fish balls and cooked fish balls, but they can also be made into canned fish, fried fish, etc. There should be no trouble selling them.

"Food processing factories also accept live fish?" Tang Min was surprised.

Song Chu smiled and said, "So the village can build the dam quickly."

Tang Min was still a little undecided at first, but he felt relieved when he heard what Song Chu said. "Okay, Youhua and I will organize a meeting for the whole village tomorrow, and we will start construction after we pass it."

Tang Youhua had been listening to the two people talking. "The farm has sold several batches of chickens, ducks and duck down recently. There is no problem in allocating funds to repair the dam."

Song Chu nodded: "Then do it, and don't repair it casually. When the time comes, you should ask a specialized department to plan a design. It will be safer to build it according to the design, and it will also have a longer service life."

She had never drawn blueprints for reservoirs or dams, and didn't know much about them, so she didn't take the job.

Tang Min had not thought of this before, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are thoughtful. If you want to repair it, you should repair it in a safe and good way."

"Chuchu is becoming more and more like a cadre now." He looked at his niece with great satisfaction.

Song Chu is not only the most promising daughter of the Song family, but also the most promising and glorious daughter of the Tang family.

Song Chu chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, uncle. I will continue to work hard."

It was already past five o'clock after dinner, and Song Chu and the others had to go back to the city, so Tang Min didn't pull her aside to talk.

Before leaving, she gave the furniture design drawings she had taken the time to draw to her father, asking him to study them carefully and try them out at the furniture factory after some time.

After that, he went to the cowshed to pick up Gu Jin, and Song Chu rode a bicycle with her mother back to the county town.

After sending her mother back to the garment factory, Song Chu and his partner returned to the dormitory at eight o'clock.

At this moment, she missed the car even more. Fortunately, Gu Xueshen was very helpful and she would soon be able to stop riding a bicycle.

It was discovered that five communes had abundant water resources, which were very suitable for large-scale fish farming, and three communes were more suitable for building fish feed farms. Therefore, the cadres of the communes were called to a meeting at the county economic office.

They were shocked when they heard that Song Chu wanted them to open a fish farm and a fish feed factory.

"Director Song, can raising fish really make you rich? What if the fish die?" someone couldn't help but ask.

They have no experience in raising fish.

Song Chu replied: "Of course you can get rich. As people's living standards are getting better and better, the demand for fish has also increased a lot. As long as you raise them, you won't have to worry about selling them."

"As for the issue of fish dying, that's what I want to talk about. I'll teach you how to raise fish scientifically. Sprinkle some anti-disease powder and medicine every once in a while, and put in some oxygen equipment. Normally, there won't be a large number of deaths."

"And if we feed fish, the production cycle will be greatly shortened, and the fish can be harvested in two to three months."

She knows everything from disease prevention drugs to the formula of fish feed, so this is not a difficult point.

After listening to this, several commune cadres were moved while others were worried.

He asked a lot of questions and Song Chu answered them one by one.

Finally, two communes were willing to try to open fish farms, and one commune was willing to build a fish feed farm.

Several other communes said that it was very difficult and they only wanted support from the county economic office but were not willing to make much contribution.

The main reason is that I don’t really trust Song Chu’s suggestions and projects.

Song Chu could see through their thoughts, so he didn't force them and just used the three communes that were willing to do so as a pilot project.

Other people in the county economic office felt that although this project sounded credible, they were unsure whether it could be accomplished.

Song Chu submitted it, but the financial funds were limited and he could not invest money to help the three communes build the field. He needed to solve the funding problem himself.

The county was unable to allocate funds for support, and the commune had no money, so everyone thought that they might as well just let it go.

Who would have thought that Song Chu did not give up. Instead, he took people to the three communes every day to find ways to make money and make them self-sufficient and build fish farms.

After hearing about this, many people in the county office felt that Song Chu was still too young and naive. He went out to find a way on his own when the county did not allocate funds. Is money so easy to make?

She really thinks she can make money by building anything. It's not that simple.

So everyone was waiting for Song Chu to give up when she saw the difficulty. Some people who were not happy about her being the deputy director at such a young age just wanted to wait and see her fail. Even several people from the county economic office tactfully persuaded her twice.

But there was no word "give up" in Song Chu's dictionary. She had to do it, and soon she found three ways to make money.

There was a commune that produced a lot of sweet potatoes. The harvest this year was also very good, and there was a lot of sweet potatoes in stock.

Song Chu asked the commune to collect sweet potatoes from the villages below, then make them into sweet potato flour and exchange them for materials and fish fry for building fish ponds.

People who build fish ponds can use the labor force from various villages and then calculate according to work points, which can save money.

Now the nearby communes and villages all know that because of the breeding farm built by Song Chu, the lives of every household in Xiaba Village are gradually getting better, which makes people particularly envious.

Therefore, no one objected to her arrangement, and everyone took the initiative.
