After successfully selling fish in elementary school, Jiang Wanyue talked to the team about formally raising fish.
But in this sensitive era, everyone just wanted to avoid making mistakes and didn't think about making meritorious contributions. Therefore, this matter was rejected by both the branch secretary and the team leader.
Jiang Wanyue brought up the past again, causing the team leader Song Dahai to fall silent.
He thought of the ninety-five dollars the school earned and used it to solve the big problem of leaking classrooms.
The school has a small pond, about one acre in size, and can make so much money.
Each group in the brigade has a pond of at least ten acres. If all the fish in the pond can be sold, wouldn’t the current problem be solved?
He finished smoking a cigarette and looked at Jiang Wanyue: "Can the fish be sold?"
Jiang Wanyue knew that the captain was moved.
But she also knew how difficult it was to sell fish in this era.
The reason it was sold before was purely because it was related to education, which made the director of the Education Bureau nod his head.
This road is not easy.
But she had to go.
She also wants to make a career.
One day in the future, the father of the three children will come back to fight for custody, and she must be able to fight back.
She thought for a moment and said, "Whether we can sell it or not, we have to give it a try. It's no big deal if we fail."
"Okay." Song Dahai said, "Then let's go find Lao Tian now."
It was already dark at this time. Song Dahai took a flashlight and walked towards Tian Youliang's house with Jiang Wanyue.
When we got there, we found that the villagers from Group 4 had surrounded Tian Youliang's house and were arguing about this matter.
"Hurry, the captain is here too!"
"The captain must give us an explanation?"
"Why should we pay for it? How can we live like this?"
"At worst, we can just not repair the diesel engine. There weren't any diesel engines in the village a few years ago anyway!"
A group of people surrounded Tian Youliang, and another group of people surrounded Song Dahai, and the crowd was very excited.
"Don't worry, everyone." Song Dahai said loudly, "Our brigade is still trying to figure out a solution for this matter. We'll notify you when there's progress. Go back, everyone. You don't have to pay yet."
The villagers also knew that the matter could not be resolved in a short time, so they all went back.
There were also several people from the brigade standing at the door, including the branch secretary, the brigade leader, the accountant, the scorer, the agricultural technician, the militia leader, and Jiang Wanyue.
Tian Youliang frowned, "Old Song, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly ask them not to pay? How can we repair the diesel engine if they don't pay? Don't listen to them and just don't repair it. If we really don't have the diesel engine, what will our team do with the most important task of pumping water and threshing next year? It's us who will be scolded. We must do this with force!"
Song Dahai glanced at the few people who stayed behind, all of whom were his own people, and said directly: "I think the proposal made by my daughter-in-law a few days ago is okay."
When Tian Youliang heard this, he fell silent.
You can make money from selling fish, but the risks are too great!
The school's pond belongs to the school and no one is watching it, so it can be sold secretly.
But there are people living near the big ponds in the village. Once the ponds are dug, they will be discovered. What if the matter becomes a big deal and the commune finds out?
The fish in the village are distributed to each household at the end of the year. I have never heard of any village selling the fish for money. The extra fish are taken away by the food station. It seems that selling them privately is against policy.
Accountant Zhao Xiangyang asked curiously, "What's the proposal?"
Others also looked puzzled.
Jiang Wanyue said, "I'm sure everyone has heard about the primary school selling fish. My idea is that since the fish can be sold, why not use such a good resource to benefit the team? The primary school fish pond is only one acre, and because there is no one to look after it, it only produces about 200 kilograms. I heard that under normal circumstances, one acre can produce at least 1,000 kilograms of grass carp. If our village set aside a place to raise fish, with someone to look after it and ensure that the fish are well fed, even if we calculate it based on 800 kilograms per acre, and there is a large pond of 10 acres in the village, that would be 8,000 kilograms of fish, 50 cents per kilogram, how much do you think it would cost?"
Accountant Zhao Xiangyang was stunned: "So, four, four thousand yuan?"
Everyone was stunned.
This amount of money is an astronomical figure for them.
Jiang Wanyue continued, "Why is everyone in the village poor? It's because everyone has nothing to do except farming. Manpower is wasted and water resources are also wasted. Such good water quality can raise so many fish. If it is used, it will be a huge fortune. I know it's a bit difficult for you to accept this now, but we are in trouble and need money. Why don't you try to see if this thing can work?"
When it comes down to it, everyone is afraid of violating policies and being held accountable.
Now that the village is in trouble and needs money, they have an excuse to sell fish. Even if the higher-ups blame them, they will not investigate further because there are reasons behind it.
Song Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it. We must do this! If you don't agree, Old Tian, then we can do it in the name of our second team. I will take the responsibility alone!"
"I..." Tian Youliang was the boss after all, so he was thinking more. He hesitated for a long time, as if he had made up his mind. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, let's do it. However, this matter is not just about us, but also about all the villagers in our Xiaojing Brigade. We must hold a meeting before we can proceed."
Several people discussed carefully for more than an hour how to hold this meeting.
The next morning, the brigade radio broadcast an announcement about a meeting to be held at the threshing ground at noon, and each family was asked to arrange for one person to come.
It was not the busy farming season, so the villagers arrived early. Although no one was willing to pay the dollar, they also wanted to know what to do with the diesel engine.
