He can cover the expenses.
Wang Tianxiao had never asked Wu Ping for anything before, so Wu Ping took the information very seriously and quickly arranged for a team to be led back by Wang Tianxiao himself, where they met with Li Guanlin.
Because the prefabrication plant has ready-made precast slabs, they don't need to be completely complete. It's just building a sheep pen, and you can make it just fine with some scraps. The only materials needed are some red bricks and cement, which are purchased by the construction team. They keep all the receipts, and you can settle the payment later.
During the construction process, everything else went smoothly, but when it came to using red bricks, it was discovered that the brick and tile factory in town had a relatively weak production capacity and seemed to only get orders after a long time, which caused equipment problems, and the repair of the equipment was delayed for several days.
Fortunately, it did not significantly affect the overall progress.
In the village, as the neighbors started using electric lights, the remaining people who didn't have electricity became envious and gradually became willing to get electricity. Wang Tianxiao's original debts were also recovered.
Seeing that things were progressing well, Wang Tianxiao went to talk to Wang Dabao about the alfalfa field they had mentioned earlier.
The team had a 50-60 mu (approximately 3.3-4 hectares) alfalfa field on the west side near Mijia Village that had been lying fallow for a long time. Wang Tianxiao had originally planned to contract it to raise sheep.
After building a sheepfold for his mother-in-law's house, his interest in raising sheep increased even more.
This matter has been put back on the agenda.
Wang Dabao had previously promised that the land could be reserved for him, and now, facing this great contributor who helped the team bring in electricity, he had nothing more to say.
…
The annual rent is ten yuan per mu (unit of land area), and according to the village's measurement records, there are a total of sixty mu.
Wang Tianxiao didn't hesitate and paid for ten years' worth of money in one go.
I was originally planning to pay for twenty years, but I've been spending too much money lately, so I need to adjust things a bit and slow down.
After contracting the alfalfa field, Wang Tianxiao immediately prepared some fertilizer and re-fertilized the alfalfa field to help the alfalfa grow better.
He plans to raise 500 sheep here, so he needs a lot of alfalfa. He also plans to raise deer.
Both can be fed with alfalfa.
In addition, my mother-in-law's family is raising fifty sheep, which will likely require a lot of alfalfa, and we can supply that here as well.
Since he was living near the mountains, Wang Tianxiao was bound to develop animal husbandry, especially since agriculture was developing faster than industry in that era.
Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture.
Qingcheng is short of water, and the people here don't really like to eat fish, so there's basically no room for aquaculture.
The rest are raising chickens, pigs, and sheep.
Chicken farming is too unprofitable, and raising pigs is not feasible for people's living standards, as they cannot afford to eat meat every day.
Moreover, the cost of raising pigs is too high.
Pigs are the kind of animals that really need to be piled up with feed.
If feed and pork prices fluctuate, pig farming will not only fail to make money, but may also result in losses.
For many pig farmers, making money isn't their primary concern. They might raise pigs for a year only to find out they haven't made any money at all; they've just exchanged their cash for smaller amounts.
If anything really fell, it was just a lot of pig manure.
After comparing various options, Wang Tianxiao decided to focus on raising sheep.
Sheep are relatively easier to raise. They can be raised using a mixture of feed and grass, and Qingcheng has a tradition of eating mutton, making them easier to sell.
In addition, Wang Tianxiao has an even more important sentiment.
He didn't want raising pigs to cause too much damage to the surrounding environment.
Anyone who has raised pigs knows that pig excrement is deadly to the environment, affecting not only water sources but also the air.
Every summer, countless bacteria proliferate in pig manure, and flies swarm like mosquitoes, making it a truly horrific sight.
Therefore, the government has gradually stopped allowing many small-scale pig farmers to raise pigs.
In recent years, the rural environment has gradually improved a lot.
Wang Tianxiao has experienced such disgusting environments, and even though the government hasn't paid attention to environmental issues yet, he can't get over it himself.
After comprehensive comparison, raising sheep is the final choice.
The initial plan is to acquire alfalfa land. The next step, once the funding is secured, is to build sheep sheds, which are expected to be able to accommodate 1,000 sheep at the same time.
Moreover, he also had his own ideas about the different breeds of sheep.
Currently, the people in the village who raise sheep are all raising domestic sheep, because domestic sheep can be eaten for meat and their wool can be sheared and sold.
However, Wang Tianxiao believed that sheep were not as economically valuable as goats.
Therefore, he would raise a quarter sheep and the remaining three-quarters goats.
And it was a female goat.
Aquaculture was his initial stage; he also planned to develop the dairy industry later.
…
At this initial stage, he doesn't yet know which direction he can develop best, so he needs to explore several paths.
We continuously accumulate experience and adjust our strategies based on the results.
In this era full of opportunities, if others can succeed, why can't he?
He didn't know if this counted as a dream, but he just felt that it was necessary to work hard and do more things.
Because there are few people and few households in Mijia Village, the electricity supply was rolled out very quickly.
I hadn't noticed for a few days, and it was already fully powered on.
According to the original plan, the next step was to install a power distribution station for Wang Tianxiao's station on the edge of Mijia Village, near the mountains.
This was something that was already planned out in the first place.
Mijia Village promised him rice and grain, and Station Master Li of the power station also agreed, but unexpectedly, something went wrong at the last minute.
