Chapter 252 Drama

Faced with the village chief's praise, Yu Qiutang did not try to be modest.

Coming to see the village chief today and looking for Yu Daner last night are two completely different strategic approaches.

To deal with Yu Daner, his strategy is mainly to use the temptation of benefits. Yu Daner is a small person and should pay more attention to benefits.

But the village chief is a person of considerable status in a village of more than 10,000 people, so we need to talk to him about bigger things.

The pattern is enlarged.

Unlike many small villages in the south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of people were beaten to death.

Rongcheng is a vast place, and a village covers a large area, so there are many families in the village.

A small village with a population of four or five thousand, such as Mijia Village, is considered a very small organization.

Wangjiazhuang is a large village with nine teams in total. Each team has one to two thousand people, totaling more than twelve thousand people.

If this happened in other places, many people might find it difficult to understand, but this is exactly the reality at this time.

When Yu Qiutang lived in the south in his previous life, he often visited nearby villages and found that many villages had only dozens of households, and maybe only two or three hundred people in total. He was very surprised.

Think about it, the population of all these villages combined is not as large as the previous production teams.

"By the way, Qiu Tang, you came to see me today, there must be something wrong, right?"

Seeing that the village chief was the first to bring up the main topic, Yu Qiutang didn't say anything more and took out a piece of paper cut out from a newspaper from his pocket. The content was roughly a call for the country to vigorously promote the development of rural breeding economy and promote the development of new agriculture.

Wang Damen glanced at the content and nodded, "I've read this newspaper. Do you want to do something?"

Yu Qiutang nodded: "Yes, village chief, the country's policies are good now, so I thought that since there is such a good opportunity, if I don't take advantage of it to do something, it would be a waste of opportunity.

You may not know that even though my family has many houses, there is no other way. There are many people in our family. Not to mention the daily expenses, even just eating is difficult to feed everyone.

We only have a small piece of land at home, and even if the harvest is good every year, there is not much left after paying the public grain tax, and it is consumed within two or three months.

So what do we eat?

You can’t starve to death…”

Wang Damen laughed and said, "You kid, if you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why are you crying poor? If people like you who can afford a Mercedes and a motorcycle worth tens of thousands of dollars are starving to death, then I don't think many people in this village will be left."

"It's just to keep up appearances, they are all friends..."

"Okay, okay, you better speak frankly. You probably don't know me. I don't like beating around the bush. You must be here to ask me for policies and support, right?"

Yu Qiutang smiled awkwardly.

I felt that the groundwork was basically complete and it would be excessive to continue, so I started to talk about his original intention.

"Nothing escapes the village chief's discerning eyes. Actually, I was planning to try raising some chickens at home. Coincidentally, the leader of the town's animal husbandry station also had a research project and wanted to find an experimental base, so we hit it off..."

"Are you still in touch with the livestock station?"

"It has something to do with it."

The village chief nodded. "That's good. With their skills and experience, you won't be blind when crossing the river. Let's continue..."

“Because we had no experience in the early stages, and we needed to set up a lot of facilities and raise chicks, the investment was actually quite huge.

But the profit of raising chickens is not high. If you want to maintain normal conditions and get through the difficult stage in the early stage, you need to lay a certain number of chickens to cover it.

But the leaders of the animal husbandry station put forward a request. If they wanted to build the base in our village, I needed to meet some basic conditions.

For example, chicken coops, power distribution, water use and so on.

I can easily deal with all the other things, except that we are still lacking power distribution and a piece of grass..."

Wang Damen was very surprised. “I can understand power distribution. I have also seen chicken farming in the army. The temperature must be kept stable, otherwise the chickens will not lay eggs properly.

But what do you want grass for? Chickens need corn, bran, and other things. Are you going to feed the chickens grass?"

Yu Qiutang smiled and said: "According to the leaders of the Animal Husbandry Station, we are now pursuing new scientific chicken farming. In order to make the chickens grow well and lay more eggs, we need to provide them with a variety of rich nutrients.

When we ordinary people raise chickens, we only feed them bran and chaff, which actually have little nutritional value. After the chickens eat them, they lay very few eggs because of insufficient nutrition, on average less than one egg a day.

But according to them, if enough nutrition is provided, the chickens can even lay three eggs in two days, and then the profit can be increased.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Wang Damen was also mentioned as an attraction.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Of course, how could I fool you?" Yu Qiutang saw that the groundwork was complete, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Wang Damen.

Wang Damen picked it up and saw that it turned out to be a cooperation agreement. It was roughly consistent with what Yu Qiutang said, an experimental cooperation agreement signed with the Animal Husbandry Station.

The animal husbandry station promises to provide technical support, feed sources, and subsidize part of the breeding costs, but the chicken farm needs to provide the corresponding public systems and on-site breeding facilities, etc.

As expected, one point was mentioned, that at least fifty acres of grassland is needed, preferably alfalfa, as alfalfa can provide chickens with a rich variety of elements.

After reading it, Wang Damen returned the contract to Yu Qiutang.

"It really is."

"So, now I can find ways to meet other conditions. Even the initial investment funds can be raised from friends. The only thing is that I really have no other choice but to come to the village chief."

"Do you want the village committee to help you solve the land problem?"

Yu Qiutang smiled and nodded: "Yes, the village chief is worthy of being the village chief. He is really sharp-eyed and saw the problem right away."

Wang Damen thought for a moment and asked, "Since it's a land issue, you should first go through the production team. When we distributed the land, didn't we leave private plots for each team? Your team also has some, so you can definitely contract it."

Yu Qiutang looked embarrassed.

"This one……"

Wang Damen saw his embarrassment and asked, "Why? Is there any difficulty?"

"No."

Yu Qiutang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

The more he said, the more Wang Damen wanted to know. After thinking about it just now, he felt that if Yu Qiutang could get things done and raise chickens on a real scale, it could serve as a benchmark for the villagers of Wangjiazhuang to respond to the country's call and develop the breeding industry.

By then, it will definitely attract more attention, and it will also be able to obtain more resources and policies for the village, allowing Wangjiazhuang to rank higher among all the villages in Qingquan Town.

This is a good thing.

If he was the production team leader, shouldn't he be encouraged and provided with convenience when such a daring and hardworking person appeared in the team?

The development is all thanks to the team.

"Why don't you say anything? Just say what you think. It's not like young people to be hesitant."

"Well... Actually, it's like this. I went to see our captain before, but..."

"But what?" "It's hard to say. It's hard to say."

The more Yu Qiutang didn't explain, the more Wang Damen felt that there was something fishy. Without Yu Qiutang's reminder, he began to think that it was Yu Daner who had tripped him up.

As the village chief, he probably knows what kind of people each team leader is.

But sometimes it’s just about balance.

What does that mean.

This has to start with the history of Wangjiazhuang.

This Wangjiazhuang was originally called Wangjiazhuang, but it only included the current team one, team two, and team seven, and did not include the other six teams.

Later, when the village was downsized, the other two villages were merged to form the current new Wangjia Village.

This includes the former Yujia Village.

At that time, many villages were centered around families. The largest group of people in Yujia Village was definitely the old Yu family. Although the villages have been merged now, the surnames of the old Yu family members have not changed.

Therefore, in order to maintain balance, the village committee is basically jointly chaired by the Wang family, the Yu family, and the Liu family. This is the only way to ensure stability for the villagers.

Yu Daner was able to become the captain, so naturally there was a certain inheritance relationship.

As the captain, no matter what he does personally, the general direction will definitely be towards the Yu family.

Therefore, unless there are any major problems, Yu Daner's position as captain will be very stable. For the sake of unity and stability, Wang Damen will definitely not take the risk of doing anything to offend others.

"Is it Yu Daner who is making things difficult for you?"

"No no."

Wang Damen saw that he was avoiding her gaze and nodded, "Then I have it."

"I didn't say that."

Yu Qiutang blurted out.

This superb acting skill naturally successfully led Wang Damen into trouble.

Although Wang Damen is the village chief, he is after all the village chief of a small place and has not seen many big scenes.

Besides, how could he have imagined that a young man like Yu Qiutang, who was less than 20 years old, had so many thoughts.

The more Yu Qiutang denied it, the more Wang Damen felt it was true.

Of course, it is true.

"It seems that Yu Daner really gave you a lot of resistance, otherwise you wouldn't have gone beyond the production team and found the village committee."

"Ugh."

Yu Qiutang lowered his head and sighed, "To be honest, it's really hard to do anything.

In fact, I could have built this chicken farm somewhere else, and they offered me very good policies.

But I was thinking, after all, I am from Wangjiazhuang. If I can develop well, I can ask the villagers to help and give them some employment fees, so that everyone's life can be improved, right?
Of course, if everyone wants to get rich together, I have no objection. As long as I make money, everyone will make some too.

But now it seems that it is really discouraging.

I haven't even started this job yet, but I've been hit with a bucket of cold water. If I can't get help from you, the village chief, then I guess I can only..."

"Don't be impatient yet."

Wang Damen was moved by Yu Qiutang's words.

Seeing how sincere he is, how deeply he loves his hometown, and how passionate he is, yet he is treated like this, it is indeed a bit unfair.

Since he has not given up and has found this place, he must not fool around and push away a person who may lead all the villagers to prosperity in the future. Yu Daner can do it. As the village chief, he will never be short-sighted.

"Qiu Tang, don't be anxious. I roughly understand what you mean. You need a piece of land, but you can't get the support of the production team. Instead, Yu Daner is making things difficult for you, right?"

Yu Qiutang nodded.

He looked as if he no longer needed to hide the situation at this point.

"Then let me ask, since you are going to look for Yu Dan'er, have you found a suitable place?"

Yu Qiutang said: "To be honest, I really found a very suitable piece of land."

Yu Qiutang saw a map of the entire village hanging on the wall of the village committee, and walked over and drew a circle on the land with his finger, "Look, village chief, this is a great location."

“This piece of land…”

Wang Damen frowned and began to recall the situation of this piece of land. He was familiar with the better plots of land in the village that had not yet been allocated, but judging from the color of this piece of land, it belonged to unallocated land, but he didn't know what the situation was for a moment.

Seeing this, Yu Qiutang began to explain to him.

"Village chief, this land is the border between our team and the fifth team, and behind it is Houtouling. Because the cliffs of Houtouling block the sunlight and water source, this land is actually not suitable for growing crops, even the most cold-resistant and drought-resistant buckwheat and sorghum.

The team was aware of the situation and, when allocating the land, they were unable to force it upon everyone, so it just sat idle.

Some people saw that the land was lying barren and tried to grow some vegetables on the side. However, because the soil was so poor and the conditions were bad, the vegetable seeds died as soon as they sprouted and could not grow at all.

Now, due to long-term abandonment, the weeds on this land are increasing, and are gradually spreading to nearby good farmland. If nothing is done, it won’t be long before other nearby land becomes wasteland.”

"That does make sense. If that's the case, why doesn't Yu Daner agree? If he can't see the problem, then what's the point of being a captain?"

Yu Qiutang smiled bitterly and said, "The captain may have his own ideas. When I asked him to apply, he always didn't explain the reason clearly. He just said he wanted to see it, but I didn't know what he wanted to see."

Wang Damen already had a guess at this time.

The meaning of "take a look" is to see what this young man can do.

What else could there be.

Holding onto a tiny bit of power, he wants to make people pay tribute, what a jerk! !
"Well, I think this is a good thing. Our village committee supports your proactive and pioneering spirit. I will help you solve the land problem."

"Really?"

"Look at you, kid. Would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, let's go find Yu Daner and ask him to help you with this matter."

"I'd better not do it," Yu Qiutang immediately refused, and said awkwardly: "Village head, after all, I am still in the third team. If I offend the captain, he will target me in the future. What do you think I will do in the future? He keeps bullying me, and I won't be able to handle it, right?"

"How dare he be so bold? He's not a local tyrant!!"

The village chief was aroused with anger.

What on earth did Yu Daner do to make people so embarrassed and scared?

Yu Qiutang saw that the fire was almost started and knew that it was almost over. The remaining residual heat was enough for Yu Daner to bear.

Of course, he didn't expect that saying these words in front of the village chief would cause the village chief to do anything to Yu Daner, but at least it would pierce a needle in the village chief's heart.

As long as this needle is there, Yu Dan'er's disappearance will make the village chief very upset. (End of this chapter)
