Chapter 692: Opportunities in Babaoliang Village
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Zhou Yang's brows suddenly wrinkled.
According to Li Fengnian, there were quite a few people reporting Babaoliang Village to the commune and the county during this period. Some reported anonymously, while some simply reported with their real names.
The reasons why these people reported Babaoliang Village were all strange. Some people reported that the people in Babaoliang Village lived extravagantly and wasted food.
They say that their village kills seventy or eighty pigs, hundreds of sheep, and even cows for meat every year!
Others said they were hoarding and buying and selling.
The cattle, sheep, mules, and horses that were originally bought for a few dozen yuan were sold to nearby villages at several times the price in less than half a year. This was a complete extortion and defrauding the people.
Some people even reported that Babaoliang Village was following the capitalist line. Their village had mountains of grain and herds of cattle and horses, but they ignored the revolutionary friendship between comrades and watched the people in other villages eat bran-thick vegetables...
Although most of the reasons for reporting are groundless, there are too many people who can't stand it.
Especially after the autumn harvest, more people report Babaoliang Village.
In less than a month, the commune actually received more than ten mass members who reported on Babaoliang Village, and also received many related letters.
The same is true in the county. There is an endless stream of people going to the county to file complaints. The number is staggering.
If the top leaders of the county and the commune were not very familiar with the situation in Babaoliang Village, the relevant working group might have been sent to Babaoliang Village.
But even so, this matter still made the county and the commune feel a little pressure, and they wondered if they could put an end to the matter.
"Dad, do you think the commune's approach can solve this problem?" Zhou Yang said in a deep voice.
"There are some difficulties!" Li Fengnian said truthfully.
He had served in the army before, and after returning to the village, he also served as the party secretary of the brigade. It can be said that he knows the situation at the grassroots level in the countryside well.
Li Fengnian knew very well that the people who reported Babaoliang Village did not have any real evidence, and what they said could not withstand scrutiny.
For example, the village killed dozens of pigs, hundreds of sheep, and cows in one year. The village did kill a lot of pigs and sheep, but only a small part was actually distributed to the members and the common people.
All were sold to the institute at market prices.
As for killing cows, it's even more nonsense. Cows are a very important labor force in the village, and they will never be killed unless absolutely necessary.
The reason why the village killed the cows was because the cows were fighting and one of the cows was seriously injured. It was impossible not to kill them.
The reason why those people reported these things to Babaoliang Village was because they had pink eye.
As for the commune, the attempt to quell the dissatisfaction of those people by causing more bloodshed in Babaoliang Village is just a temporary measure, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Since the problem cannot be solved, then we must find another way!"
"What can I do?"
"Dad, you should know why these people are staring at our village. The root cause is poverty. So the only way to solve this problem is to make everyone rich as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yang knows the psychology of those who reported on Babaoliang Village. Everyone is struggling to survive in this remote place. They are also facing the loess with their backs to the sky. They are also working hard for a year of spring planting and autumn harvest. Why is Babaoliang Village having a bumper harvest of food?
There's almost no place to put it.
But their village is getting worse every year, and they can't even provide a few hundred kilograms of food rations.
So they were angry and felt that God was unfair, so they began to report on Babaoliang Village on a large scale.
Although reporting on Babaoliang Village may not necessarily be beneficial to them, it would be fine as long as the people in Babaoliang Village live as poor as they do.
"This is easier said than done!" Li Fengnian said.
"It is indeed not easy to make all the people in a region rich, but it is not impossible either." Zhou Yang said.
"Do you have any idea?"
"Yes, just copy the homework!" Zhou Yang said.
"Copy homework?"
"Yes, although Babaoliang Village has become the target of public criticism, it has also become a benchmark and role model for the entire commune and even the entire county. Our village is a ready-made job!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "As long as the people in other townships and communes learn from our Babaoliang Village, there is no need to copy them all, as long as they copy one or two things, they can get rid of their current poverty situation!"
"When the time comes, everyone's life will be better, who will still be jealous of our village?"
"Well, what you said makes sense. I'll take the time to report it to the county!" Li Fengnian said.
"OK!"
Then Li Fengnian said again: "Actually, our commune has already made arrangements for each brigade. In addition to the piglets bought from the province, we also plan to buy a large number of cattle, sheep, mules and horses from the pastoral areas and distribute them, but this will take time!"
"The other thing is that there are quite a few people who are jealous of our village. The village should be careful not to let others get caught."
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Dad, I understand!"
As soon as the conversation changed, Li Fengnian asked again: "I heard that your sister-in-law gave birth, have you gone back to visit her?"
"I went back two days ago..."
Then the father-in-law and son-in-law continued to chat about family matters until after nine o'clock.
After coming out of the Li family's old house, Zhou Yang felt a little heavy, but he was not depressed.
More importantly, there was a strange light in his eyes, and Liu Yunlong who was looking at him was a little confused and didn't know why.
To be honest, Zhou Yang had anticipated this a long time ago.
Our ancestors have long said that if a tree is as beautiful as the forest wind, it will be destroyed. If a gun shoots the first bird, the first rafter will die first...
Today's Babaoliang Village is just like that outstanding bird, that is the outstanding rafter. Everyone is envious and jealous of the situation here.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred are three different psychological feelings, representing three different types of people.
Judging from the current situation, the vast majority of people in other villages are envious of Babaoliang Village. They also want to live such a life, and even hope to become a member here.
This type of people is the largest in number, and most of them are ordinary members. They are simple people and basically will not do anything secretly.
But there are also some people who are jealous in their hearts. They are jealous of why God doesn't help them and let them live such a good life.
There are not many of these people, and their harmfulness is not certain. They will decide whether to target Babaoliang Village based on the impact of the environment and even their own mood.
Only a small number of people with dark minds will feel hatred, and these people's hearts have been completely twisted. Once they are given the opportunity, they will do evil to the village.
Although the current external environment is not very friendly to Babaoliang Village, it may not be a good opportunity for expansion for Babaoliang Village.
So many people are envious and jealous, which shows that the development of Babaoliang Village in the past two years has been successful, and many people also want to live a good life like them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang had a bold idea in his mind.
He planned to make this year's dividend distribution meeting even more grand, not only inviting leaders from the commune, county, prefectural committee, and province, but more importantly, he also wanted to invite commune members and common people from several other villages in Babaoliang Brigade.
Please come together and participate in this dividend meeting.
Rather than letting those people target Babaoliang Village in secret, it is better to open up and take the initiative to announce the situation in the village.
Of course, Zhou Yang did this not to "show off his wealth", but to attract commune members from other villages to join Babaoliang Village in this way.
At that time, all we need to do is tell these people that in order to help more villagers, Babaoliang Village is willing to accept commune members from other villages just like it accepts educated youths.
I think there should be many villages that would be happy to join Babaoliang Village, of course, if the policy allows it.
By then, Babaoliang Village will have more labor force and more means of production. Whether it is setting up village-run enterprises or vigorously developing breeding and planting industries, it will have more advantages.ωωw..net
However, he still had to ask the county or even the province for instructions on whether this matter could be done. After all, this matter had a huge impact.
In addition, he had to come up with a plan.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but rush home a little faster!
PS: Today I was driving from my father-in-law’s house to my hometown. The journey was more than a thousand kilometers. As soon as I entered the house, I rushed to catch up on the manuscript.
