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

After the Walnut Culture Festival came to a successful conclusion, Cuigu Village was immersed in joy and hope.

New cooperation projects have been launched one after another, and the village's walnut deep processing industrial park has also begun intensive preparation and planning.

Wang Dashan runs around at various project sites all day long. Although he is busy, his heart is full of longing for the future development of the village.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

One day, Wang Dashan had just returned from the walnut orchard after inspecting the newly introduced irrigation equipment. Before he had time to drink a sip of water, he saw the village accountant Xiao Li running in in a hurry.

Xiao Li looked panicked, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He gasped and said, "Uncle Dashan, it's bad, something big has happened!"

Wang Dashan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put down the straw hat in his hand and asked, "Don't be impatient, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Xiao Li calmed himself down and said, "I just received news that the main export market for our village's walnuts has suddenly raised its import standards, and the requirements for pesticide residue testing of walnuts have become extremely strict. Our previous products simply cannot meet this standard. If we follow this new requirement, our next large number of orders will be ruined!"

Wang Dashan's face instantly became solemn. He knew very well how huge a blow this news would be to the walnut industry in Cuigu Village.

The export business has always been an important pillar of the village’s walnut industry. Once this market is lost, it will not only be a major economic loss, but may also trigger a series of chain reactions, affecting the development of the entire village.

"Let's go and gather the village cadres and large growers to hold a meeting immediately to discuss countermeasures."

As Wang Dashan spoke, he walked quickly towards the meeting room.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.

After listening to Xiao Li's report, everyone fell silent.

After a long while, Mr. Zhang, a large grower, was the first to speak up: "What should we do? We have always planted and managed our walnut orchards according to the previous standards. Now that the standards have suddenly been raised, we don't have time to adjust."

Another cadre also said worriedly: "Yes, and to meet the new standards, we must change to new pesticides and planting methods. How much money will this cost? We don't have the funds."

Everyone was talking at once, their faces filled with anxiety and worry.

Wang Dashan pondered for a moment, raised his head and said firmly: "Don't panic, there are always more solutions than problems. Although the situation this time is very serious, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's study the new import standards carefully first, see where the specific gap is, and then find a way to solve it."

Therefore, Wang Dashan arranged for Xiao Li to collect detailed information on the new import standards as soon as possible, and at the same time asked the village's technical staff to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the existing walnut planting situation and analyze the reasons for the excessive pesticide residues.

After several days of hard work, the test results came out.

It turned out that a type of pesticide that had been used in the village was found to have excessive residues under the new testing standards. To solve this problem, it was necessary to replace them with a series of green and environmentally friendly pesticides and fertilizers, while also optimizing and adjusting some links in the planting process.

But these measures require a large amount of financial investment, which makes Wang Dashan feel troubled.

In order to raise funds, Wang Dashan decided to go to the county to seek help first.

He came to the county government with detailed information and an explanation of the village's situation.

In the office of the relevant department, Wang Dashan said to the staff sincerely: "Comrade, our Cuigu Village has always been mainly engaged in the walnut industry. The sudden increase in the export market standards has dealt a heavy blow to our village. We also want to make rectifications according to the new standards, but we really lack funds. I hope the county can give us some support and help."

The staff listened carefully to Wang Dashan’s report and after reviewing the relevant information, they said they would report the situation of Cuigu Village to their superiors and strive to obtain certain financial support and policy preferences.

After returning from the county, Wang Dashan was not idle.

He also contacted some successful people in the village who were working outside the village, introduced the situation of the village to them, hoping to get their support.

During a phone call, Wang Dashan said to a fellow villager who runs a company in the city: "Dawei, our village is facing great difficulties now, and the walnut industry is facing a huge crisis. You are also from our village. Can you lend a hand to the village and invest some funds in us to help us overcome this difficulty? When the village industry recovers, we will definitely not forget your kindness."

Dawei on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then said, "Uncle Dashan, of course I want to help the village, but my company is also working on a big project recently, and the capital turnover is a bit tight. However, I will find a way to squeeze out some funds to support the village, don't worry."

Thanks to Wang Dashan's unremitting efforts, the village has gradually raised some funds.

At the same time, good news came from the county. The government decided to give Cuigu Village a certain amount of financial subsidies to support the rectification and upgrading of the walnut industry.

With financial support, Wang Dashan immediately organized villagers to carry out comprehensive renovation of the walnut orchard.

He personally led the technicians and growers, guiding them one by one on how to replace pesticides and fertilizers and how to adjust their planting methods.

During this process, Wang Dashan encountered a lot of resistance.

Some villagers do not trust the new planting method and are worried that it will affect walnut production.

A villager said to Wang Dashan: "Dashan, are these new methods you mentioned really reliable? We have always grown walnuts this way. If we suddenly change, what will we do if the yield drops? My whole family depends on these walnuts to make a living."

Wang Dashan patiently explained, "Uncle, I understand your concerns. But now the situation is pressing, and we have to make changes. These new planting methods have been verified by experts. Not only will they not affect the yield, but they can also improve the quality and safety of walnuts. As long as we follow the requirements, there will be no problem. Moreover, the county has also sent experts to give us technical guidance, so don't worry."

After Wang Dashan's patient persuasion, the villagers finally agreed to plant according to the new method.

During the rectification process, Wang Dashan came to the walnut orchard early every day and worked until dark before going home.

He personally participated in every link, from the purchase and distribution of pesticides, to the guidance of planting techniques, to the debugging of irrigation equipment, he supervised and inspected meticulously.

His arms were scratched by branches and his leg was sprained in the field, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

He knew that this rectification was related to the future of the entire village and he could not slack off in the slightest.

After several months of hard work, the walnut orchard in Cuigu Village finally completed comprehensive renovation.

The newly planted walnut trees are thriving and all indicators meet the new export standards.

Wang Dashan looked at the walnut trees in the garden and felt very pleased.

He knew that although this crisis was difficult, Cui Gu Village had survived it, and a broader space for development would be waiting for them in the future.
