Fengxian Jiangshan

"Doctor Zhou, how can you belittle yourself? Besides, treating illnesses is not just about taking medicine and surgery, it's about treating physical illnesses, as well as mental illnesses, such as loneliness, such as loneliness, such as boredom..."

Zhang Tinglan wanted to continue talking, but Zhou Xinyao had already raised her foot, and stepped on Zhang Tinglan's foot abruptly.

what……

Wang Yongjiang, who was reading a book in the next compartment, suddenly had a smile on his face: Young is good.

After the train arrived in Liaoyang, they went straight to the farm where the victims were resettled. In less than a year, earth-shaking changes had taken place. , to celebrate the harvest.

Zhang Tinglan and the others came to the farm where Chu Mingyuan was at their first stop. This young man decided to stay here and do something to help the victims. Zhang Tinglan thought it was just a momentary enthusiasm, but he did not expect him to persist. And there are results.

The farm he works in has repaid all the loans in less than a year, becoming the first one among all the farms to lift the debt burden. Zhang Tinglan is also very curious about their achievements and wants to know about them. How exactly.

As soon as the group arrived at the outskirts of the farm, they saw all the farmers busy. They were building houses, and a young man was directing them. From a long distance away, Zhang Tinglan recognized Chu Mingyuan at a glance. These farmers also All noticed them.

Chu Mingyuan also ran over in a hurry, with a face full of surprise, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

"Of course it is to see if you are lazy. We issued a military order at the beginning of the year, and now we are here to check the results!"

"Look at it casually, if there is anything wrong with it, please give me some pointers!"

Wang Yongjiang also looked Chu Mingyuan up and down from the side. In more than half a year, the originally fair and tender scholar had completely changed his appearance. His face and arms were tanned, his muscles were swollen, his skin was rough, and his clothes were stained. It's muddy water, and it looks like it's actually doing something.

Just seeing these, Wang Yongjiang knew that this young man definitely put in a lot of blood and sweat, and he was really doing things with an open mind. He was also very satisfied: "Mingyuan, I heard that you have repaid the loan in a year, and you have done a great job. Alright, if you have any valuable experience, don’t keep it private!”

Although Wang Yongjiang is only the governor of Fengtian.But he is the No. 1 of Zhang Zuolin's civil servant faction, and the civil affairs and finance of the three eastern provinces are in his hands. It is definitely not an easy task to get his approval.

Chu Mingyuan also had some panic on his face, and said: "The governor is absurdly praised, it's nothing more than working hard, there will be no pie in the sky!"

"This sentence is worth gold. Mr. Tie Kan came here just to learn how you do it, and to introduce your experience. It will benefit the entire three eastern provinces in the future."

"No problem!" Chu Mingyuan said with a smile: "I must know everything and say everything!"

They didn't find any special meeting room, but chose the yard where the food was dried, and sat on the stones and tree stumps, surrounded by many ordinary people. Both Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Tinglan were informal people.The most rare thing is that Zhou Xinyao did the same, sitting on the stump with them.I didn't care at all.

"Folks, we have been here during the disaster relief at the beginning of the year, and now we are here again, not to give you any orders, but to hear your experience of getting rich. The whole Fengtian, all the farms. You are the first I paid off the loan, and the grades are outstanding, everyone is doing well!"

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile that most of the people present did not know that they had grabbed such a first place.Listening to it now, all of them smiled sincerely. From the bottom of their hearts, they were all very happy.Of course, everyone knew that Chu Mingyuan was the first person to be able to create such a miracle, and everyone respected him more and more.

"Governor, Mr. Zhang, all these achievements are due to the hard work of the big guys. There are really not many things I can do!" Chu Mingyuan said a few words politely, and then continued: "Actually, we are also counted. After that, if you want to rely on farming alone, it will take five years to repay the loan, and you will have a bumper harvest every year, so if you want to get rid of the burden quickly, you must start some other industries, and our first choice is farm tools."

Tens of thousands of disaster victims and a large number of tenant farmers have obtained land. Although the government promised to distribute farm tools to them, the gap is still quite large. Chu Mingyuan and the others set their sights on farm tools early on.It just so happens that there are two blacksmiths in their group, and they can borrow some manpower from other farms. There is no shortage of blacksmiths, and the most lacking thing is iron!

Today is no different than later generations. Many common people’s agricultural tools are still made of wood, only covered with a layer of iron sheets on the sides. The reason is very simple, that is, there is a serious shortage of iron.

After Chu Mingyuan learned about the situation, he organized a group of young people to go directly to the surrounding counties to buy scrap iron, iron pans, stoves, and kitchen knives, as long as they had iron. Yes, you have to endure other people's eyes, and you have to face all kinds of troubles.

When they first made it, almost everyone regarded them as beggars, and it was still freezing cold. Once they went out, they would spend a whole day. When they were hungry, they could only eat a steamed bun that they carried with them. , It was cold and hard, and I couldn't even find a mouthful of hot water.

After finally receiving the scrap iron, they didn’t have any tools, and they carried it back completely on their shoulders. The heavy scrap iron was pressed on their shoulders, and they walked for dozens of miles. Many people’s hands and feet were infected with chilblains.

Speaking of the most difficult beginning of this period, Chu Mingyuan and the people around him felt a little sad, and the corners of their eyes inevitably turned red.

"Mr. Zhang, we passed by the door of a rich family several times. They let their dogs bite us, and they treated us like beggars. At that time, I really wanted to give up. Anyway, wait for five years and everything will be fine. But fortunately, we gritted our teeth and made it through. We brought back the first batch of more than 100 kilograms of scrap iron and made the first batch of hoes and shovels. Before we went out to sell them, many nearby farms came to buy them. A good shovel can make a fortune, and we finally have our first income in our pockets!"

"Then the big guy became more motivated. More and more people collected scrap iron, and they traveled farther and farther. They hired three master blacksmiths from other farms, and waited until our third batch of agricultural tools was sold. At that time, we had hundreds of oceans. We didn’t need to collect scrap iron anymore, we could buy some high-quality iron directly, and the farm tool workshop became famous. When the spring plowing started, we made a full profit of more than 2000 oceans. .”

Listening to Chu Mingyuan's narration, Zhang Tinglan and the others were also very happy. This young man's vision is very accurate. It is a very good choice to start with farm tools. After the establishment of the farm, the enthusiasm of farmers for labor has increased unprecedentedly, but they do not have suitable tools in their hands. Will definitely be willing to buy, and since steel is scarce, farm implements are also very profitable.

Chu Mingyuan continued: "After the end of the spring plowing, we decided to continue to operate the farm tool workshop, and at the same time use the profits to buy some carriages and be responsible for purchasing various agricultural products, such as mountain products, poultry, eggs, sesame oil, mountain delicacies, fur, etc. etc. In fact, other farms are also trying their best to repay the loan as soon as possible. Everyone is thinking of ideas and producing a lot of things. What they lack is the market. We help them solve the problem and sell these things in the city. , In fact, it is a good thing for everyone. After one summer, our profit exceeded [-] yuan, the loan was repaid, and the house began to be built. In fact, as long as we find a market and put in a little more sweat, nothing is impossible!"

Chapter 559 It's All About You

"Do you have any plans for the next step? Should we continue to operate like this, or change careers?"

"Everyone is still discussing that after the loan is repaid, the land will belong to everyone, but the big guys feel that it can't be divided like this. They should continue to be together and twisted into a rope so that they can earn more money and live better. Well, it's just that the next step has not been determined yet!"

Everyone has an account in their hearts. Now everyone earns more money in a year than in the past ten years. They are getting more and more affluent, and their lives are getting better. Everyone agrees with the new way of life from the bottom of their hearts. Ten mu of land with one cow, wife and children working on the kang, working on the farm, with higher income and brighter future.

This is also a demonstration effect that Zhang Tinglan is pursuing. Traditional agriculture can no longer go on. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Chinese have been constantly turning around the land. The most direct contradiction is the rapid growth of population and the relative lag of land supply. , so that the history of China has presented a situation of prosperity and decline, chaos and alternating cycles.

In order to break this curse, it is necessary to introduce industrial and commercial industries, digest the excessive population, and create more wealth at the same time. Chu Mingyuan and the others can succeed quickly because of industrial and commercial operations. Otherwise, there is absolutely no way out if they circle around the land .

Zhang Tinglan's farm is not to tie all farmers to the land, but to give them greater freedom, seek new development paths, make agricultural development more efficient, and at the same time liberate a large amount of labor to invest in the industrial and commercial fields Obviously, Chu Mingyuan and the others made a good start.

"Mingyuan, do you have any plans, tell us and we can help you with details!"

"With Mr. Zhang's guidance, we don't have to worry about it!" Chu Mingyuan said with a smile: "Actually, I intend to sell all the land, but the big guys don't want to. The land I finally got is not hot yet. , everyone couldn’t help but feel that we have worked hard for a year just to own our own land, and how come we have to sell the land after we get it.”

Zhang Tinglan also guessed Chu Mingyuan's thoughts, glanced at all the farmers, and said loudly: "Folks, I understand your thoughts very well, and I want to ask you. What is the purpose of your wholehearted desire to cultivate land?" Woolen cloth?"

When the common people heard this question, they were all a little dumbfounded. Do you need a reason to want your own land? Isn't this a matter of course?

Everyone was a little dazed.It took a long time before someone said: "I want to have something to rely on and live like a person."

"Want to make more money!"

"I want to marry a wife..."

A young man whispered his reasons.It immediately made everyone laugh.Someone took the lead, and the others started talking in a hurry.

Zhang Tinglan listened quietly from the side, and finally said with a smile: "After hearing what everyone said, let me briefly summarize, you want to live a better, richer life and more dignity, right?"

The farmers present couldn't help but nod their heads, that's true, but it wasn't just them.This is a wish shared by all.

"Mingyuan, the responsibility actually falls on you. If you have the ability to convince everyone that selling the land is better than owning it, I believe everyone will agree!"

Wang Yongjiang also said with a smile: "That's right, if you present your idea, we will help you see if it is feasible or not."

"I estimated that the income from the land is less than one tenth of other income. I want to sell the land. After I have the capital, I will expand the farm tool workshop and turn it into a farm tool factory, and then rent a store in Fengtian. , who specialize in selling mountain goods, will definitely earn more than they do now."

"The idea is good, so why don't the folks agree?"

"The little old man thinks it's not that easy to do business." A little old man next to him said, he is the team leader of this farm, and Chu Mingyuan is actually just the deputy team leader.

The old man was called Xie Fulai, and he expressed everyone’s worries: “It’s a good thing to set up a farm tool factory, but I heard that the surrounding villages have also started to learn from our practice, hiring blacksmiths everywhere, and next year we may not be able to earn so much Money. And to do business in Fengtian, you also need people who know how to do business. These folks have not put down their hoes, and let them do business with people in the city. I am worried that they will not be able to do it. If the land is sold at this time, everyone will not There's not even a way out!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he glanced at Wang Yongjiang, and both of them looked at each other and smiled. The common people have learned to use their brains to think about the problems in front of them, and know how to weigh the pros and cons. This is definitely a big improvement.

"Mingyuan, do you hear that, the folks are justified in worrying, your steps are too big!"

Chu Mingyuan's face flushed slightly, but he was quite convinced by Zhang Tinglan's vision. Since he said that he took a big step, he was right.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm really impatient, and I think things are simple!"

"Don't blame yourself, just listen to me." Zhang Tinglan said, "Factories are different from workshops. Buying mountain products is different from opening a shop to sell them. It's really hard for the villagers to make a 180-degree turn in a year. It is difficult for others, so I think you should continue to do the farmer's business and start from the work you are familiar with."

As soon as Chu Mingyuan heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he knew that this person had a better way, so his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhang, you must point out the way!"
