Chapter 357: Discovering the Way Out of the Mountains and Waters 5
A broad river appeared before everyone's eyes. The river was so wide that the opposite bank could not be seen. The river flowed in a winding manner. There was no sound of rushing water, no white flowers stirred up by the rushing water, no sparse woods, and no chirping birds. Instead, there was endless silence in the ears.
Yike remembered a song: "A big river, wide waves, wind blowing the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides..." However, the fragrance of rice flowers was not seen on both sides, but the steep, bare stone walls were right in front of him.
She recalled her favorite song from her previous life as a child, "Let's Row the Boat":
Let's row the boat and push away the waves. The sea reflects the beautiful white tower.
Surrounded by green trees and red walls, the boat floats gently in the water
A cool breeze blew in my face, the red scarf faced the sun, the sun shone on the sea
The fish in the water watched us and quietly listened to our happy singing
The boat floats gently in the water, and a cool breeze blows towards us.
After a day's work, let's have fun. I ask you, dear partner.
Who arranged a happy life for us? The boat floats gently in the water
A cool breeze blew towards me...
The song flows gently in Yike's heart
Du Qingcang and Li Youcai paddled the bamboo raft close to the bare stone wall and parked it. Everyone stared at the empty river in a daze.
The sunlight closed its eyes and sank to the bottom of the river, scaring Du Qingcang and others so much that they quickly paddled the bamboo raft downstream. Before the moon rose, they finally saw the road on the shore and the curling smoke from cooking in the distance.
Finally found the village and could finally go ashore.
The bamboo raft docked at the shore. Everyone went ashore and dragged the bamboo raft to the shore and parked it there. Then they walked towards the village.
That night, they stayed in the village and learned that this was a small mountain village in the neighboring province, Xidong Province, called Dongyunhe Village.
The nearest place to Dongyunhe Village is Dongyun Town, which has a small pier. Villagers prefer to take a boat to go to the town because the land route is too far and taking a boat is both close and convenient.
Du Qingcang and Li Youcai got the information they needed and were so happy that they wanted to go back immediately.
Yi Ke also found out where the villagers bought their boats and even asked about the price. Overall, they gained a lot from this trip.
Du Qingcang and Yi Ke and his group returned to Taoyuan Village and immediately called a meeting of directors to discuss the issue. The theme of the meeting was "Buy a boat or build one yourself?"
Some people suggest buying it directly, so you can use it immediately.
Some people suggested making it yourself. What is the most abundant thing in the mountains? It must be wood. There is no need to waste money.
Finally, after discussing the price of the boat, everyone unanimously decided to build their own boat, a small one. For now, we'll take a bamboo raft, and after we get out of the crack, we'll take a passenger ship.
It only costs one cent to take a boat from Dongyunhe Village to their town, so there is no need to buy a boat. You can make your own slowly. So the meeting unanimously passed the proposal to build a ship. Yike also suggested building a cement road leading to the river.
There is no shortage of materials such as stones and sand for building roads in the mountains. Now we can even make cement ourselves. The only thing we lack is labor. However, in order to make it easier to go in and out of the mountains to sell the products they produce in the future, everyone decided to draw some strong laborers from the land reclamation to build the road. For the time being, the road will not be built too wide, just enough for ox carts to pass through, and someone will widen it later.
The road construction work in Taoyuan Village was carried out in full swing, and Li Haoran, who went to Beishan Village to serve as the team leader, also began to rise.
The original secretary of Beishan Village finally reached retirement age, and the commune reappointed a secretary and a team leader for their village. Wang Guoqing served as the secretary and Li Haoran served as the team leader. The village cadres and members not only had no objections, but also welcomed them warmly.
As soon as Li Haoran took office, he immediately submitted a written report on raising rabbits, pigs and chickens to the commune. Wang Guoqing had also submitted a written report on raising chickens before going into the mountains, but this time Li Haoran wanted to raise more species, so he submitted another written application report. This report was written by Ziyi for Li Haoran. It not only included the application, but also the mutual benefits between breeding and crops.
The reason why Li Haoran dared to open such a big shop at the beginning was because Ziyi and Yike gave him courage from behind.
Ziyi said to him, "Dad, go ahead and do it. I'll cover any money under 10,000 yuan for you." Yike also said to them, "Dad, Mom, go ahead and do it. As long as you strictly follow what I wrote here, I guarantee that the chickens you raise will not get plague in the next three years."
He still remembered what his wife Zhang Yuling asked Yike: "Will I get plague in three years? Then I should raise more in these three years."
At that time, Yi Ke laughed so hard that he almost choked on his breath.
Yi Ke stopped laughing until his wife Zhang Yuling nearly exploded. Yi Ke explained that all they had to do was change the place and environment. In other words, as long as they followed Yi Ke's method and the chicken farm strictly adhered to cleanliness and hygiene measures, the chickens would be free from diseases and disasters just like the animals raised in the mountains.
For the first time at a brigade meeting, Li Haoran proposed the plan of raising rabbits, pigs and chickens. None of the brigade cadres had any objections. On the contrary, they were all surprised and delighted.
They originally only planned to raise chickens, but now they have added two more items, which shows that the team leader is confident.
Sure enough, when Li Haoran said that Ziyi would buy 100-month-old chicks and give them to their village as a show of support for his mother Zhang Yuling, the accountant and the director almost cried with joy.
The brigade meeting ended smoothly, and then the cadres of each production team were called together to the brigade for a meeting. The meeting also ended smoothly. They were all very satisfied with the new brigade leader and believed that it was the most correct strategy for the commune to let Li Haoran be the brigade leader.
All the cadres of the brigade agreed with Li Haoran’s proposal, and the construction of chicken farms, rabbit farms and pig farms was put on the agenda. They gave these three farms a general name - breeding farms.
The general person in charge of the farm is Wang Guoqing, who serves as the director, the chief technician is Zhang Yuling, the sales manager is Li Haoran, the brigade accountant is still the farm accountant, and the women's director is the director of the logistics department.
The captain of each production team serves as the group leader of the chicken farm, rabbit farm and pig farm. Wang Guoqing's wife serves as deputy team leader of the chicken farm, Zhang Xiuying serves as deputy team leader of the rabbit farm, and the old secretary's youngest daughter-in-law Liu Dongmei serves as deputy team leader of the pig farm.
The chicken farm currently has only three ordinary team members, plus the team leader and deputy team leader, a total of five members. The team leader and deputy team leader also divide the work and cooperate with each other. The deputy team leader is only responsible for technical and breeding issues, while the team leader is fully responsible, focusing on aspects such as fencing the chicken farm and building chicken coops.
The rabbit farm currently has only five members, and the pig farm has the least people, with only three members currently, mainly because they can't raise too many pigs for the time being.
Once the fixed members of the farm are decided, if temporary help is needed, members will be drawn from each production team.
Now the three production teams appear to be three small teams to the outside world, but in fact they have been merged together, because only in this way can they conveniently deploy manpower to do the work in a unified manner.
The meeting of cadres was over, and the commune's approval for their village to run a breeding farm had also come down. Everything was ready, and then it was time for a meeting of all the brigade members.
The new secretary Wang Guoqing notified all members of the brigade on the radio that they should go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting after work and then go home for dinner.
