Chapter 396 Winter Production Begins



Next, commuter vehicles and tractors transported various materials into the newly logged area to build workers' dormitories, tractor sheds, generator sheds, and a dispatch center on the mountain.

By the time all of this was finished, it was already November, and the first snow of the year began to fall gently.

After the snowfall, winter production at Qianchuan Forest Farm will officially begin.

Feng Baosheng had been jumping around anxiously, eager to get up the mountain to work, but in the end, just like every year, it didn't officially start until it snowed.

This infuriated Feng Baosheng, but there was nothing he could do. How could he, all alone, possibly fight against so many people in the entire forest farm?

Feng Baosheng knew perfectly well that someone was deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes, but he couldn't find any evidence against them. What could he do?

Fortunately, the higher-ups did as Feng Baosheng requested, allocating two tractors and two winches. They also brought in tractor drivers, winch operators, and two production dispatchers.

This time, Feng Baosheng was no longer a lone commander, and he felt more confident.

Since the recruitment began in 1976, the bureau has recruited two batches of state-owned workers and one batch of workers from large collectives. This autumn, it recruited another batch of agricultural and forestry workers.

These so-called agricultural and forestry workers, after being recruited, not only do forestry work, but also have to cultivate some land.

Actually, by this time, the forestry sector was already understaffed, but in recent years there had been no large-scale recruitment, resulting in a large number of older educated youth remaining in the workforce.

In order to solve the problem of educated youth staying behind, the higher authorities introduced such a policy, recruiting a large number of agricultural and forestry workers before the winter production season.

Although the treatment of agricultural and forestry workers is not as good as that of the general public, and even worse than that of large collectives.

But after waiting for so many years, the members of the educated youth team saw some of their former comrades go to university to study, and others enlist in the army. It really didn't make much sense to stay any longer.

Therefore, most of the remaining educated youth in Qianchuan Forest Farm left to work as agricultural and forestry workers.

Later on, the concept of "educated youth going to the countryside" disappeared.

Those who graduate from high school and are able to get into university go to study; those who are not can only stay at home unemployed.

Originally, Chen Weimin was also on the list of agricultural and forestry workers, but when the bureau submitted it to the provincial department, they found out he was disabled and rejected it.

That's just how things are these days; the first requirement for hiring is good health.

Fortunately, after all that has happened, Chen Weimin has come to terms with it. He stayed at the school to continue teaching music and art, and helped out at the trade union in his spare time.

The forest farm paid him a salary, and the bureau also provided subsidies, which was more than enough for him.

So Chen Weimin stopped wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly and started working diligently, then spending his evenings creating literature.

This year, the entire organization recruited more than 800 agricultural and forestry workers, with 70 or 80 of them at Qianchuan Forest Farm alone. There are enough people and enough machinery and equipment.

Logically, the work can be divided into three teams, with each team using two tractors to collect timber, which will significantly improve work efficiency.

But Feng Baosheng was not satisfied with this. He boasted that the output would double, but this kind of production could not achieve the expected results.

So Feng Baosheng proposed that this year's work be divided into six work teams, with each team having one tractor and additional oxen and horses.

The forest farm rented oxen and horses from the Dajianchang area to haul timber, which worked in conjunction with tractors to increase efficiency.

Therefore, Feng Baosheng specially promoted three people from the forestry workers to be work team leaders.

These three men were carefully selected by Feng Baosheng after careful observation; all of them had had unpleasant experiences with Zheng Xianyong.

Feng Baosheng deliberately showed them goodwill and promoted them exceptionally, all in an attempt to recruit them for his own use.

No matter the year or place, there can never be a monolithic society. There will always be a few opportunists who will change their tune with the wind and flatter others. That's why these three people happily took on the role of foreman.

"Xiping, come here, your uncle needs to talk to you."

That day after work, the factory manager Zheng Xianyong and the production manager Zhao Limin approached Sheng Xiping, saying they had something to discuss with him.
