Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

After solving the deforestation and walnut processing plant technical problems, Cui Gu Village ushered in a new development opportunity.

The county decided to promote agricultural mechanization in all townships and encourage villages to introduce advanced agricultural machinery and equipment to improve agricultural production efficiency.

After Wang Dashan learned the news, he realized that this was a good opportunity for Cui Gu Village to further develop.

He immediately convened a village meeting to introduce the county's policies and the benefits of agricultural mechanization to everyone.

Wang Dashan stood on the stage and said excitedly: "Fellow villagers, this time the county promotes agricultural mechanization, which is a rare opportunity for our village. If we can introduce some advanced agricultural machinery and equipment, it will not only reduce everyone's labor intensity, but also improve the efficiency of walnut planting and processing, and increase our income."

After hearing this, some villagers expressed their support, while others were worried that purchasing the equipment would cost a lot of money.

A villager stood up and said, "Dashan, we all know the benefits you mentioned, but it would cost a lot of money to buy these devices. How can our village afford that much money?"

Wang Dashan smiled and said: "The fellow's concern is justified. Purchasing equipment does require a considerable amount of money. However, the county has a certain subsidy policy for the promotion of agricultural mechanization. We can apply for subsidies, which will reduce our burden. Moreover, we can also raise the remaining funds through loans and other means."

After some discussion, the villagers finally agreed to introduce agricultural machinery and equipment.

Wang Dashan started to get busy. On the one hand, he actively communicated with relevant departments in the county to understand the subsidy policy and application procedures; on the other hand, he led the village cadres and technicians to investigate and compare various agricultural machinery and equipment on the market and select equipment suitable for the actual situation in the village.

Thanks to Wang Dashan's efforts, Cuigu Village successfully applied for subsidy funds from the county and raised the remaining funds through loans.

They purchased a batch of advanced walnut planting and processing machinery and equipment, such as tillers, seeders, pickers, dryers, etc.

The introduction of these equipment has greatly improved the village's agricultural production efficiency and reduced the villagers' labor intensity.

Looking at the brand new machinery and equipment operating in the village's walnut orchard and processing plant, Wang Dashan showed a gratified smile on his face.

He said to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, the development of our village is inseparable from everyone's efforts and support. Now that we have these advanced equipment, we must make good use of them to expand and strengthen our walnut industry."

With the advancement of agricultural mechanization, the walnut yield and quality in Cuigu Village have improved significantly.

The village’s walnut products are becoming increasingly competitive in the market, and orders are coming in continuously.

At the same time, the village's tourism industry has become more prosperous due to the development of the walnut industry.

More and more tourists come to Cuigu Village to visit the walnut orchard, experience the fun of walnut picking, and taste various walnut delicacies.

In order to further improve the quality of tourism services in the village, Wang Dashan organized villagers to carry out a new round of upgrades and renovations to the village’s tourism facilities.

They built a large parking lot to facilitate parking for tourists; set up more rest areas and viewing platforms in the walnut orchard so that tourists can better appreciate the beauty of the walnut orchard; and developed some tourist souvenirs related to walnut culture, such as walnut carvings, walnut handicrafts, etc., which are very popular among tourists.

In the autumn of that year, Cui Gu Village held a grand walnut culture festival.

Tourists and merchants from all over the place came to the village to take part in this lively festival.

The cultural festival features wonderful art performances, a rich walnut food exhibition, an interesting walnut picking competition and other activities.

Wang Dashan stood on the observation deck of the walnut orchard, looking at the lively scene below, his heart filled with emotion.

At this time, a merchant walked up to Wang Dashan and exclaimed: "Village Chief Wang, your village has changed so much. In just a few years, it has developed from an unknown small mountain village to the wealthy village it is today. It's really amazing!"

Wang Dashan said modestly: "This is the result of the joint efforts of all villagers and the support of national policies. We just seized the opportunity and continued to work hard and innovate."

The merchant smiled and said, "Village Chief Wang, I am very optimistic about the development prospects of your village. I would like to further cooperate with your village and invest in the construction of a walnut deep processing industrial park to promote your village's walnut products to a wider market."

Wang Dashan was very happy to hear this. He said excitedly: "That's great. We welcome you to invest. We will fully support your project and work together to make our village's walnut industry bigger and stronger."

Driven by the Walnut Culture Festival, Cui Gu Village reached cooperation agreements with many merchants, introduced a large amount of capital and technology, and further expanded the development space of the walnut industry.

The village's economy is developing faster and faster, and the villagers' living standards are getting higher and higher.

In the 1960s, which was full of changes and opportunities, Cui Gu Village, under the leadership of Wang Dashan, relied on the unity, struggle and unremitting efforts of all villagers to overcome difficulties time and time again and continued to grow and develop.

From a poor and backward mountain village, it has gradually become a well-known wealthy village, and has created its own glory in the tide of the times.

Wang Dashan knows very well that this is just a new starting point and the road ahead is still long. He will continue to lead the villagers of Cui Gu Village to forge ahead and create a better tomorrow.
