Chapter 301: Not very harmful, but extremely insulting

After all, a county town is just a county town. Whether now or in the future, its area is not very large. If something happens there, it will soon spread throughout the county.

"The Tenglong Bus Company started with 10 buses running to Guangdong. At that time, I knew that this company was very powerful. But at that time, I only thought that it was financially strong. I didn't expect that this company was quite powerful in the county."

"I really didn't expect it. Moreover, this company is quite ruthless. As soon as a Guangzhou car showed up to compete with it for business, it directly brought back five Guangzhou cars. It seems that it is determined to fight to the end to see who can hold on first."

"This is normal. Others are trying to grab the business. If I had the ability, I would also get a few more cars to compete with them."

"Tenglong Bus Company is great, but this new Guangzhou bus is also special. Dozens of people can be called in at any time."

"I know about that new Guangzhou car. It was bought by the three Jin Yuanbao brothers from Chengdong Village."

"How strong is this Jin Yuanbao brother?"

"These three brothers are quite influential in the village. I think there will be something interesting to watch next!"

"Who do you think is better, Tenglong Company or Brother Jin Yuanbao?"

"It's hard to say. If it's a competition of who has more money, then it goes without saying that it's Tenglong Company. But it doesn't seem to be owned by a local. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If the two sides fight, Tenglong Company may not be a match for the Jin Yuanbao brothers."

"That may not be the case. Didn't Tenglong Company also gather dozens of people today? There are even more people than what Brother Jin Yuanbao brought!"

"I think Brother Jin Yuanbao underestimated the enemy today, so he was not well prepared."

“…”

Entertainment activities nowadays are not as rich as those in later generations. It is rare that such a big melon has been exposed in the Guangzhou car. Everyone is talking about it, just like following a TV series, and everyone is looking forward to the development of the plot.

As a result, the next day, something happened that made all the onlookers extremely disappointed.

I saw that the Guangzhou car of Brother Jin Yuanbao had changed the license plate of Bobai-Guangzhou to Bobai-Maoming.

If someone hadn't remembered the license plate number of the bus and someone else had remembered the driver, they would not have thought that this Maoming car was the Guangzhou car owned by the Jin Yuanbao brothers.

Seeing the operation of Jin Yuanbao brothers, the onlookers were disappointed and couldn't help but think of a word that was not very harmful but very insulting - that's it? As Jin Yuanbao brothers changed the Guangzhou car to Maoming car, it means that the winner of this Guangzhou car battle is Tenglong Passenger Transport Company. However, how Tenglong Passenger Transport Company won is unclear.

Could it be that the Jin Yuanbao brothers were frightened by yesterday’s confrontation?

But it's not that serious. Neither side took action yesterday. Although there was a difference in the number of people, it was not so big that it would directly scare the Jin Yuanbao brothers.

So, what exactly is the problem? Many people who are interested in this matter began to ask around.

Then, the news spread that yesterday the Jin Yuanbao brothers were warned by the Third Master of Xincun and the law enforcement department!

At this point, everyone suddenly realized.

It's no wonder. Everyone in the county knows the name of Xincun Sanye. Other outsiders, as long as they integrate into the local community, have basically heard of this name. It is normal for the Jin Yuanbao brothers to give in when they are warned by such a big boss.

What's more, in addition to the warnings sent by Xincun Sanye, law enforcement officers also came to the door to give warnings.

The deterrent power of law enforcement officers today is actually not as strong as that of later generations. There are many reasons for this, which I will not elaborate on here, but one thing that can be mentioned is that ignorance is fearless.

That is why confrontations with law enforcement officers often occur in rural areas in this era.

In later generations, everyone knows some legal knowledge to a greater or lesser extent, and at the same time, the awe of law enforcement officers is rooted in their hearts. Except for criminals who have already embarked on the road of crime, normal people dare not confront law enforcement officers.

But then again, the deterrent power of law enforcement officers of this era may be a little weak among the legally illiterate groups in the countryside or remote mountainous areas, but in places like county towns where legal awareness is relatively strong, and this is also the "base camp" of law enforcement officers, the deterrent power is no less than that of later generations.

Those who dare to confront law enforcement officers are tired of living. No normal person would do that.

The Jin Yuanbao brothers were naturally not tired of living yet, so it was only natural for them to give in after being warned by the Third Master of Xincun and the law enforcement officers.

After understanding the choice of Jin Yuanbao brothers, the onlookers could not help but wonder, what is the origin of Tenglong Passenger Transport Company? Why did the big boss Xincun Sanye and the law enforcement department come forward to warn Jin Yuanbao brothers?

No one can reveal the answer to this question for the time being.

However, everyone knows one thing from this, that is, don't mess with Tenglong Passenger Transport Company for no reason, because it is an existence you cannot afford to mess with.

…

Even the spectators already knew this, so the members of the Yehao clan naturally knew it a long time ago.

After the confrontation, the clan leader told the clan members who were on high alert that afternoon that he had sent someone to warn the Jin Yuanbao brothers, and if nothing unexpected happened, the other party would choose to withdraw from the Guangzhou route.

Sure enough, the next day the other party removed the Bobai-Guangzhou sign and replaced it with the Bobai-Maoming sign.

Although they still run through Guangdong, both Zhanjiang, which was chosen by Huang Qiang and Huang Qi before, and Maoming, which the Jin Yuanbao brothers have chosen now, are routes that Tenglong Passenger Transport Company has not favored.

It is true that running these two routes can make money in the future, but compared with the popular cities chosen by Tenglong Bus Company, they are still far behind.

Seeing that the other party had indeed surrendered, all the Deng clan members headed by Di Lei were full of admiration for the clan leader. They did not expect that the clan leader had such a great influence in the county. It was okay to let them come up and fight, but they did not have the ability to force the other party to surrender before the fight even started.

After the problem was solved, the tribe's driver drove a bus to take most of the tribesmen back, leaving only a dozen members to maintain the safety of the bus.

As for the five buses that have been sent to Guangzhou, they can be withdrawn one by one every day, and all the buses can be driven back to the tribe and kept there until the Spring Festival travel rush arrives.

…

After entering the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the year 1984 came to an end.

That night, when Deng Shirong was sorting out his memories of his past life, he suddenly remembered something very important. That was in 1985, the rice in the entire Bobai suffered the most serious disease and insect pests since the liberation.

The yields of both early and late rice in the county were severely reduced, and in many places there was even no harvest at all.

The reason why Deng Shirong remembered it so clearly was that in his previous life, his second son Deng Yunheng got married in 1985. In addition, their family was still farming at that time. As a result, both the early and late rice were harvested that year. It is hard not to have a vivid memory of this.

At that time, their Naye Village did not have the current economic conditions, so the pests and diseases that year made life very difficult for most villagers.

Nowadays, although everyone's economic conditions are no longer comparable to those in the previous life, except for Deng Shirong, the rest of the tribesmen are still farming. If this year is also hit by serious diseases and insect pests like in the previous life, it will still be a considerable economic loss for all the tribesmen.

However, even if we know this in advance, how can we solve this problem? This is not something that can be easily solved by just applying pesticides. Take rice blast for example, which is a disease caused by rice blast pathogens. Rice blast can occur throughout the entire growth period of rice, harming seedlings, leaves, ears, nodes, etc., and are called seedling blast, leaf blast, ear blast and node blast respectively.

This was just one of the diseases and pests that rice suffered in 1985. There were also sheath blight, white leaf blight, as well as leaf rollers, rice planthoppers, and yellow stem borers.

Even if we know this, it is still difficult to effectively prevent and control it with the current rice planting and management technology in Bobai County. Otherwise, after the early rice in the county suffered from such pests and diseases in the past, the county would definitely have thought of a solution and would not have let the late rice suffer from the same problem again.

Therefore, it is difficult to prevent and treat it in advance.

Therefore, after much thought, Deng Shirong felt that the only way to solve this problem was to persuade everyone not to plant rice next year, but to plant other crops instead. After next year, when the most serious pests and diseases have passed, rice can be planted again, which should be able to effectively solve the problem.

As for what to plant, don’t think about it, just plant sweet potatoes.

In Bobai County, the area of ​​sweet potato cultivation is second only to rice. The main varieties include Wuyouji (also known as "Peiwuqi" and "Damianshu"), Zhanghuangshu, Jiazhanghuang, Haikangshu, Liushirishu, Zhitiangong and Guanyangshu.

Among them, the highest-yielding variety is undoubtedly Wuyouji, which generally has an output of 550-600 kilograms per mu, and can even reach 1,000 kilograms per mu in some high-yield plots.

Its advantages are ruggedness, strong disease resistance and wide adaptability. It can be planted in mountainous areas, plains, paddy fields and slopes.

The disadvantage is that the meat is white, tastes light and is not delicious.

However, due to its high yield, this thing is perfect for use as feed for pigs, so it has always been loved by farmers in Bobai County, and the planting area accounts for about half of the total sweet potato planting area in the county.

The potato variety with better quality is "Fake Zhang Huang", which has yellow, fine, fragrant and sweet flesh, and is resistant to diseases and insects. It is adaptable to dry and wet land such as fields and slopes, and its per-acre yield is second only to "Wuyoujie". Naturally, the planting area is also large, accounting for 30% of the total sweet potato planting area in the county.

These two varieties have one characteristic, which is their strong resistance to diseases and pests. As long as we persuade our clansmen and relatives and friends to plant these two varieties of sweet potatoes according to their needs next year, we will be able to survive this serious disease and pest situation safely.

As for how to persuade them to give up rice and grow sweet potatoes, it was not a difficult task for Deng Shirong. After all, his prestige among relatives, friends and clansmen was really high. As long as he found a reasonable reason, he could easily make relatives, friends and clansmen listen to him.

Therefore, Deng Shirong is confident that his relatives, friends and clansmen will not suffer losses from diseases and insect pests next year.

However, as the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

Deng Shirong is not satisfied with just helping his own relatives, friends and clansmen, he also wants to help the cousins ​​in other towns and villages.

After all, we are all Bobai people. In the past, the Bobai people were famous for their unity (a few bad apples were inevitable, but most of them were). Even though they were fighting among themselves (Bobai is the largest Hakka county in the country, and the Hakka people have a strong sense of clan. Generally, people in a village have the same surname. If people in a village are bullied by people in another village, it will slowly evolve into a conflict between the two villages if it is not handled properly.

So in the 1980s and 1990s, there were constant fights between villages, and even between towns. When the fights were the most intense, except for women, all men from one town would be beaten if they went to another town. It was so unreasonable). But as long as they faced the outside world, they were absolutely united.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Especially in Guangdong, there were hundreds of thousands of Bobai people going there to work. From the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, for various reasons, people were afraid of the Bobai people as long as they were mentioned. For a long time, the factories there only dared to recruit Bobai girls and not Bobai boys. It was indeed a reputation that got spread far and wide.

Unity is engraved in the genes of the Bobai people. As a Bobai person, Deng Shirong would definitely be willing to help if he has the ability to help the cousins ​​from other towns and villages.

However, this is a difficult matter to handle. If you ask the farmers in other towns to grow sweet potatoes instead of rice next year, why would they listen to you?

Not to mention that Deng Shirong is only the head of the Deng family. Even if he is the county magistrate, no one would listen to your orders without a suitable reason.

After all, this is no longer the era of production teams, but the era of individual farming with land divided up. Farmers are free to grow whatever they want.

If we want the villagers in other towns to change their paddy fields to growing sweet potatoes, it will be unlikely to persuade them to stop growing rice and grow sweet potatoes, unless we can make them see the benefits and make them feel that growing sweet potatoes is more cost-effective than growing rice.

In the end, Deng Shirong helplessly discovered that he really couldn't help the Abiaos in other towns, at least not during the early rice harvest.

After the early rice suffered from serious diseases and insect pests, he would be able to help with the late rice. He would then take the time to travel around the county and use the successful example of their Ye Deng family to persuade the cousins ​​in other towns not to grow rice but to grow sweet potatoes instead.

This has factual basis, and although not all the A's in other towns and villages will listen to it, at least some of them will. This can avoid a lot of losses and can be regarded as a great merit.

Just as Deng Shirong was thinking about how to help the cousins ​​in other towns, Zhang Xiuping, who had just coaxed her child to sleep, came downstairs and said, "Dad, I want to discuss something with you."

Deng Shirong asked: "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Zhang Xiuping said, "Ayuan and Ahua have already separated from their parents. They will move to the county town to develop next year. I have also thought about it for them during this period, but I have never thought of a suitable business for them. Dad, what kind of business do you think is suitable for them?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I asked this question to Yuan before when I was at home. I told him to think about it first and discuss it again during the Chinese New Year. But since you asked me, I'll tell you my opinion."

Zhang Xiuping still has deep feelings for Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua, the two little sisters who grew up with her. They chose to marry into Naye Village and the neighboring Yangdipo Village with the purpose of being her sisters for life. Now that she has developed in the county town, she would naturally help them if she has the ability.

Hearing her father-in-law say this, Zhang Xiuping knew that he had already had an idea, so she nodded and said, "Well, you say!"

Deng Shirong said: "I have thought of three ways for them. One is to open a driving school to teach people how to drive. Now that the country is reforming and opening up, the pace of development is very fast. There will be more and more wealthy people. I believe that in a few years, more and more people will own private cars. If we open a driving school now, the future prospects are still very good."

Zhang Xiuping nodded repeatedly and said, "After hearing what you said, Dad, this driving school is really good. Not to mention the faraway places, the number of buses and cars is increasing. We need a lot of drivers here. We don't know how many people Deng has sent to the Agricultural Machinery School to learn how to drive. If we open a driving school here, we can take care of our own business in the future."

Deng Shirong said: "Opening a driving school is definitely a very profitable business. As long as you recruit more students, it will be like picking up money. If you choose to open a driving school, you can also participate in it. Anyway, you two sisters have a deep relationship, and it's good to do business together and make money."

In fact, whether it is brothers and sisters or relatives and friends, there are many cases where they end up falling out when doing business together. Logically, he should not let his eldest daughter-in-law get involved.

But this kind of thing also depends on the people. If you don’t do business together, there will definitely be problems.

Zhang Xiuping admired and said, "Dad, you have a good vision. Why didn't I think of this business before?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "There are so many profitable businesses in this world, and it's normal that you didn't think of this one."

At this time, Deng Yunzhen also came out of the shower and smiled and said, "Dad, sister-in-law, what profitable business are you talking about?"

Zhang Xiuping said, "After the New Year, aren't Ah Hua and the others going to the county town to develop their business? Dad and I are discussing what kind of business we should let them do!"

Deng Yunzhen asked, "Dad, what ways did you show Sister Hua and the others about how to make money?"

Deng Shirong smiled and repeated what he had said before, and Deng Yunzhen nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Xiuping then asked, "Dad, you just said you thought of three ways for them, opening a driving school is one, what about the other two?"

Deng Shirong said: "The second way is to open a feed factory. Now there are more and more people running farms in various towns and villages. Running a farm is different from raising a few pigs and a dozen chickens and ducks in our countryside. You must feed them feed.

So if we build a feed factory now, as long as we can find a sales channel, it will definitely be a very profitable business.”

In the previous life, a member of their Naye Deng family opened a feed factory in Guigang. It developed quite well from the 1990s to the early 21st century. Although it could not compare with those big companies, it made this member of the family one of the few billionaires in the clan.

Therefore, building a feed factory at this time is definitely a very correct choice, but whether the feed factory can be developed depends on personal ability.

However, Deng Shirong has already made up his mind that if they really want to build a feed factory, they will get that tribe member to invest in it. He believes that with this tribe member around, the feed factory will surely develop smoothly.

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but ask, "Dad, if we open a feed factory, the investment will be quite high, right?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "This investment should be larger than a driving school, but it will also make more money than a driving school."

Zhang Xiuping said: "If the investment is large, then Ah Hua and the others definitely can't come up with that much money."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "If they don't have enough money, they can only ask the bank for a loan. It depends on their own choice. If they really don't want to take risks, then they can choose the third way and open a clothing store in the county."

Zhang Xiuping and Deng Yunzhen couldn't help but look at each other. Clothing stores have a natural attraction for women.

Zhang Xiuping immediately said with great interest: "Dad, if I choose to open a clothing store, what should I do?"

“This is quite simple.”

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "We just need to rent a store, prepare the money and go to Guangzhou to purchase the goods. Anyway, our clan has a Guangzhou car, and we can ask the Guangzhou car of the clan to help transport the goods back. As long as this clothing store is opened, there will be absolutely no problem in making money.

However, if you want to have a booming business, you have to have a good eye for choosing clothes. You have to judge for yourself what styles of clothes have a market in Bobai and what styles of clothes have no market. So it is not difficult to make money in this business, but if you want to make your business booming, you have to have a good eye for choosing clothes. "

Hearing this, Deng Yunzhen said with admiration: "Dad, how come you know everything? Others want to do some business, but they can't think of it even if their heads explode, but you can easily come up with three businesses, and each of them sounds exciting."

Zhang Xiuping also agreed and said, "Yes, Dad is really amazing. These three businesses sound reliable."

Deng Shirong enjoyed the admiring gazes of his daughter and daughter-in-law, and said with a laugh: "I have been eating for more than 20 years longer than you, so I naturally know more. If you continue to hone your skills for a few more years, you will be better than me in the future!"

Deng Yunzhen said with emotion: "Dad, we can't compare with you. If our vision could be 50% as good as yours, we wouldn't have to worry about anything!"

Zhang Xiuping also deeply agrees with this. Her father-in-law's vision has been proven countless times over the years. It is really incomparable to ordinary people. They have long admired him.
