On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, after having breakfast, Zhao Yi picked up his luggage, got on the bus and headed towards the next county.
I originally planned to go after the New Year, but I have already promised Principal Jiang that the promises made to the academic leaders before the new year will be dealt with, and the time has been arranged, so some things need to be dealt with before the new year.
During the Chinese New Year last year, he went to the home of his father and mother in his previous life. Although they are now married and do not know each other, Zhao Yi still cares about an old relationship. After all, the kindness from his previous life is still vivid in his mind. This is not just a matter of changing bodies. Can be erased.
Now I have the ability to change their destiny and make their lives better.
Last year, I just gave my father's village a sum of money to contract the nearby Neihu to develop aquaculture. This time I went there to see the current development situation, and if I can help if there are any difficulties, I would like to help.
Also, last year I only gave a sum of money to my grandmother's family, but my mother, who is already married, did not necessarily receive any help. This time I also stopped by to check on the situation and see if I could provide some help.
Zhao Yi hopes that their lives will get better and better, and they won't have to work as hard as in their previous lives. They can simply pick food from their own mouths to raise themselves, and then support themselves in college.
Although I didn't make much of a living after going to college, I just lived a slightly better life than the average person, and it didn't have much impact on my hometown. However, it is the highest wish of my parents to have a successful child. If they live a better life than them, they will also live in their hearts. happy.
When the car arrived at the county town, I got off the car, but there was no car going to the countryside. I could only walk there on two legs like last year.
As a result, he was recognized on the road by an uncle from his father's village. He was driving a walking tractor. This vehicle was sold by the village this year to facilitate the transportation of aquatic products.
Because there was a fishy smell inside the truck, Zhao Yi sat next to the driver's seat. The road to the village was still a dirt road last year, but this year it has been paved with a layer of gravel.
"When were the gravels on this road paved?"
"This gravel has been paved for half a year. The government funded half of it. Villagers in the villages along the road collected the other half on a per capita basis. Not only this road, but also the entire main road under the county has been paved with gravel."
"The walking is indeed much better than before, especially when it rains. There won't be too many potholes and puddles."
"That's right. It's much more comfortable for us to drive. Driving through puddles before would have cost us half our lives. When we come to the county town, we'll still be sweating while driving."
"Investigator Zhao, are you coming here the same as last year?"
"Well, in addition to investigating the economic income status, I came here this time to understand the use of poverty alleviation funds last year and see how much economic and driving effects it had."
"I don't understand this, but our village does engage in aquaculture. This year we only conducted aquaculture in the lake waters of our village. We sold a lot of fish and shrimp products in a year, and everyone in the village received a dividend. Look, This vehicle is specially used to transport fish and shrimp.”
"It seems to be indeed effective. I have to take a closer look at the situation this time. If it proves to be effective, it may be necessary to implement such a poverty alleviation program in all villages in this area."
"That's a good relationship. The surrounding villages have opinions on our village's income this year. Although it's just jealousy, there will be more disputes in the long run. People have died because of grabbing water before. This is the benefit of aquaculture. It’s bigger, and the lake has no clear boundaries, so it’s easy to cause disputes.”
"Uncle, you still see things thoroughly and know the truth about not suffering from poverty but from inequality."
"There is nothing obvious about this. The relationship between villages is the same as the relationship between people."
"That makes sense. How much dividends will each household receive this year?"
"We do not divide them according to households, but according to the labor force population. After all, we usually deal with the number of laborers."
When Zhao heard this, he nodded and divided it according to households. Then there would be some sneaky people who could have provided two laborers, but in the end they were willing to provide one, and the other could do his own thing.
It is even more unfair to divide the income according to the number of people. It is thought that if there are many children in the family and the population is too large, it will take a big advantage. Some village households with a small population will definitely disagree.
In fact, it is not absolutely fair. There are people in the village who know the habits of fish and shrimp very well and are considered skilled workers, but they receive the same dividends as everyone else.
The villages here all have the same surname. I don't care about it at this time. There won't be any big problems with this distribution. It won't be easy to say in the future. People who are well-informed always have some small ideas of their own.
In fact, the speed of the walking tractor is not much faster than walking, it is almost the same as riding a bicycle. After wandering all the way, the car finally entered the village. Now is the New Year, and everyone has an extra income this year, so the New Year is better than It's stronger than in previous years.
Parking the walking tractor in the village committee compound, Zhao got out of the car and followed him into the village committee's office. When the village chief saw Zhao Yi coming in behind him, he quickly stood up, stretched out his hands, and held Zhao Yi shook his hand tightly for a while, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"I would also like to thank you for your poverty alleviation funds, which have doubled our economic income this year." After Zhao Yi finished the work, the village party secretary said.
"Oh, can you tell me in detail?"
“After you gave 100,000 yuan in poverty alleviation funds last year, we bought a seine to enclose the water surface belonging to our village, and then bought some fish and shrimp fry and put them in the lake.
In order to increase the amount of food for fish and shrimp, we also salvaged some aquatic plants and put them in the seine net. "
When Zhao heard this, he nodded. Although the breeding method was a bit crude, it was the lowest cost method. We can't afford feed at this time, and aquatic plants can be obtained with effort. There is nothing else in the countryside, and there is still a lot of labor.
"How about this year's aquatic harvest?"
"This year we sold a total of 200,000 kilograms of fish and shrimp, earning an income of 20,000 yuan. However, we did not catch all the fish in the seine nets, so we did not need to buy fry again."
The income in rural areas is generally not high now. For those with skills, it is good to earn one yuan a day. Many people have even lower incomes, so the price of the fish and shrimp they produce is not high, only about 10 cents per catty. .
Under this approach, it would take five years to recoup the investment cost, not counting labor costs.
To be honest, this kind of investment efficiency is not high, and the fence they purchased will need to be replaced in a few years. If it is soaked in water for a long time, it will be damaged.
Of course, Zhao Yi didn't say anything. He came here this time to see if the money was put to practical use. As for the investment efficiency, he did not consider it for the time being.
After chatting at the village committee for a while, Zhao Yi, just like last year, went door-to-door to conduct surveys and fill out forms. After a long day of work, he had lunch at the village chief's house, and then followed the village chief to the breeding base to see the situation. .
To be honest, there is basically no breeding technology, and it is almost a free-range state. It is not surprising that the efficiency is low.
After reading this, Zhao Yi didn't make any comments. He just told them that after the New Year, a food company would open a food factory in the county.
At that time, a cooperative approach can be adopted. Food companies will provide villagers with breeding technology training and even provide some breeding support loans. Then the farmers will sell qualified products to them, and they will process them into high value-added food products.
In this way, farmers improve breeding efficiency and increase economic income per unit time, and food factories can also purchase agricultural products that they can trust.
After finishing the matter here, Zhao Yi went to his grandmother's village to check the situation and found that there was no change. Zhao Yi thought for a while and based on the character of his uncle's family, the sudden appearance of 10,000 yuan, They dare not use it casually.
After all, it didn't belong to him, but no one in the village was qualified to lose 10,000 yuan, which meant it definitely didn't belong to the villagers. As for how they dealt with it, Zhao Yi didn't know.
Since this can't change anything, Zhao Yi took a look around the village to see what sideline businesses could be developed. Nowadays, growing grain in rural areas can only sustain food and clothing, and a large part has to be turned over. Only sideline businesses can improve the economic well-being of farmers. The income looks better.
For example, for children's schooling, family members' medical treatment, etc., most of them hope that the pigs at home can be sold at a good price, otherwise this year will be very difficult.
After understanding it almost, Zhao Yi didn't waste any time. He returned to the county along the way he came, got in the car and went back along the way he came.
None of Zhou Zhigang's family asked where Zhao Yi had gone. After all, Zhao Yi was also an adult. They usually didn't ask about things like going out on the same day and coming back the same day.
After dinner, he returned to his room. Zhao Yi picked up the satellite phone and made a call to Hao Simin from Baiwei Food Company, asking her to open a food processing factory in the county where her parents were in her previous life after the Chinese New Year and work with local farmers. Cooperate to see if we can help local people get rid of poverty.
Since its establishment, Baiwei Food Company has sent a large number of employees to inspect various parts of the country to analyze the climate conditions in various places and see what planting industries can be developed. The water and soil in some places are suitable for jujubes, and the pears grown in some places have a particularly good taste. , these need to be understood in advance.
It doesn’t matter whether there is such an industry locally. Of course it would be better if it did. It saves a lot of time in promoting cooperative planting in the local area.
If not, then it will take time to promote relevant advantageous fruit cultivation, livestock breeding, etc. in the local area. Baiwei Food Company will provide financial assistance and provide unified post-production purchasing and marketing to form an industrial chain.
The industrial development under Zhao Yi does not pursue short-term economic benefits, but focuses on long-term benefits. It not only hopes to gain economic benefits for itself, but also help local economic development and bring economic benefits to its partners.
Like Baiwei Food Company, if it promotes fruits and aquaculture development that are suitable for local climate and characteristics throughout the country, it will play a huge role in solving poverty in rural areas.
At the same time, a processing plant was established in the county where it is located to contribute a certain amount of industrial economic output value to the local area, and Baiwei Food Company was able to obtain sufficient origin of raw materials.
The quality of raw materials is also within one's control, and the quality of the food produced is guaranteed. This is a win-win situation. (End of chapter)
