Chapter 643: Two Ways of Thinking About the Project
The plateau on the high loess slope is broad and majestic.
The ravines here are desolate and rough.
In winter, the gullies on the high loess slopes are silent. Only countless large and small ice hanging on the cliffs are spectacular.
In the shady ravines, the snow is very deep in some places.
Sometimes the sheepherders of the production team are driving the sheep, and if they accidentally fall into this kind of snow, it will be difficult to pull them out.
When spring comes, the ice and snow melt. What starts as a trickle eventually turns into a surging torrent.
Roaring, galloping, rushing towards the Wuding River wantonly.
Just like the stubborn man in the north of the Great Wall, even the nine oxen could not hold him back. These were covered with a large number of rocks and rolling yellow soup of dead branches and leaves.
In a bowl of water, there is half a bowl of yellow sand.
Flash floods take away not only the most fertile surface soil on the Loess Plateau.
Moreover, such precious water was lost in vain, so the flood also took away the farmers' extreme desire for a good harvest.
Luoxuan planned to build an earth dam in the "V" shaped ravine.
In order to intercept these precious floods, which carry a large amount of fertile soil, in the ravines.
In order to store it and use it as a water source for irrigating farmland in the future.
at the same time,
As the sediment inside the "V"-shaped earth dam accumulates more and more, eventually this micro-earth dam will gradually form a "Gan"-shaped siltation ground.
This creates more new farmland.
This kind of cultivated land is formed by the accumulation of yellow sand on the plateau, so it will be more fertile and have a greater water content.
According to Luo Xuan's estimate: the yield per mu of grain in this kind of silted land will be 5 to 7 times higher than the yield per mu of sloping land on the plateau, which relies on the sky for food!
It is more than twice the grain output per acre of the so-called "Sichuan land" along the river.
It's not like I suddenly thought of it, slapped my head, and took it for granted.
It is because this method of controlling water and soil erosion on the Loess Plateau has been widely used in later generations.
And after 2 to 30 years of practical proof, the real data was summarized.
Accountant Li, production captain Dou Jiande, militia captain, and women's team leader accompanied Luo Xuan and stood on the high plateau.
Everyone looked at the busy members at the bottom of the gully.
Looking at this lively scene, everyone felt confident and full of hope for the future.
But on the other hand,
The imminent food shortage suddenly made everyone feel heavy.
Dou Jiande asked, "Comrade Luo Xuan, if we add up all the ravines in our production team, let alone 100, there are at least 6 or 70 ravines."
"You distribute one and a half kilograms of grain to the members every day and take care of two meals."
Dou Jiande was very anxious, "This method is really good. It not only solves the daily food ration problem of the members.
At the same time, it also saved valuable cash in the collective accounts. However, about 260 men and women worked on the construction site every day.
Oh my god!
It requires nearly 800 kilograms of food every day, which is probably unsustainable."
Accountant Li smiled slightly and said, "We consume 24,000 kilograms of grain in a month. We really can't bear it."
Accountant Li showed his fingers to Dou Jiande, "The County Grain Bureau, Water Conservancy Office and Educated Youth Office. They jointly allocated the grain to our production team. A total of 8 tons, which is 16,000 kilograms."
This batch of grain can last for 20 days at most, and this project will take two months to complete. What should we do with the remaining grain gap?"
Now all production is in the warehouse, which is basically coarse grains. There are still more than 63,000 kilograms in total. No matter how much we save, we can't bear it."
The food in the warehouse is not only used to supply the members on the water conservancy construction site.
its greater effect,
It also needs to be used to deal with the issue of grain distribution at the end of the year for all members of the entire Shilipu production team.
What's more, there are more than 70 sheep, 9 cattle, 22 pigs, 7 mules, horses, and donkeys in the production team's breeding room.
It is also a big expense for people to chew the horse's food every day.
Moreover, according to the collective accounts, the more than 60,000 kilograms of grain are mainly potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Millet, millet, sorghum, wheat and corn are supplemented.
What's more, the Shilipu production team will soon open a restaurant.
This kind of roadside restaurant mainly serves passing truck drivers.
These guys work hard, but their income is very high.
Therefore, restaurants mainly sell refined staple foods, with only a little bit of coarse grains mixed in.
This kind of collective side business.
The superior authorities will not allocate precious food to the hotel.
That means: Your production team is going to open a restaurant to make some living money.
The commune and the county ignored it and neither opposed nor supported it.
If any production team wants to open a restaurant, whoever has spare food can open it.
Anyone who doesn't have enough food to do this kind of thing will just farm and watch others make money.
Therefore, hundreds of people on the construction site require a large amount of food to support them.
And the roadside restaurant that is about to open is also a bottomless pit that needs to be filled with countless amounts of food.
The food gap is too big!!
How to do how to do?
The women's team leader looked at Luo Xuan and asked cautiously, "How about we learn from the Guanzhuang production team?"
Dou Jiande nodded, "Yes, I have long felt that the Guanzhuang production team's approach is the correct one."
Luo Xuan turned around and looked at Dou Jiande.
It seems that this Dou Jiande, for the members of the Guanzhuang production team, is under the leadership of the educated youth Xu Daliang.
The infrastructure construction method of building a large number of irrigation canals in the riverside areas is particularly appreciated.
Xu Daliang built a simple small dam by the Wuding River.
Then use this dam to intercept part of the river water, and then divert it into the cultivated land downstream and into the dense irrigation canals.
The method of building water conservancy projects adopted by Xu Daliang was less difficult and yielded quick results.
However, the difference between them and the Shilipu production team is that the members of the Guanzhuang production team are all voluntary workers.
They were doing collective work and eating their own food.
Therefore, if this method is adopted, the collective food demand for the Guanzhuang production team will be less.
There is not much financial pressure.
Luo Xuan slowly asked Dou Jiande, "Captain Dou, do you think the method adopted by the Guanzhuang Production Team can last?"
Dou Jiande smoked his cigarette and said, "Why can't it last long? Their members are entitled to work points when they go to work. Which member's family can't rely on work points to make a living?"
"Shit!"
Luo Xuan said a rare curse word, "If there are 100 kilograms of grain in the production team, all members will have 100 work points.
So 1 work point corresponds to 1 catty of grain, right?"
Everyone nodded, "That's right."
"Okay, let me ask you."
Luo Xuan seemed to be deliberately targeting Dou Jiande, staring at him and asking, "What if we keep a closer eye on the members and let them work more; at the same time, we also give him more work points."
"Then in the end, all the members in the production team earned a total of 1,000 work points."
Luo Xuan stared at Dou Jiande, "But at the same time, has the total amount of grain in our production team increased?"
Everyone shook their heads, "Work points are work points, and food is food. Even if the work points increase, the food will not automatically increase in the warehouse."
Speaking of which,
The people present finally understood: let the members work more overtime and work more.
Those are just members of the production team, and their personal work points have increased.
However, the original total amount of grain produced by the production team remains unchanged.
In other words: if 1 work point originally corresponded to 1 catty of grain.
Then the members of the commune work more, but in the end they can only use 10 work points to exchange for 1 catty of grain.
Depend on!!
Everyone suddenly realized: After working hard for a long time, all the members have worked hard for a year.
What a waste of time?!!
"It's not your way of gathering wool."
Luo Xuan sighed, "Like the Guanzhuang production team, they rely on spiritual encouragement and the entertainment and propaganda team to shout slogans and encourage everyone in the fields. It is difficult to last long."
Luo Xuan asked Dou Jiande, "I believe that when you led the members to work, you were not lazy or idle."
"But what about the members? Even if they have 10 strength, how much will they really use?"
Luo Xuan looked around at everyone, "I just want to ask, will you do your best every day and work for the production team?"
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
If a cadre comes to inspect, or if the production team leader stands nearby to supervise.
The members of the production team certainly work very hard.
But the time they can keep it up is only for a while.
When they turned around, they saw that no one was watching them.
Who will use all their strength to work?
There is no such thing as a fool.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and not to suffer losses.
Besides, the food at home is not enough. Who has so much energy and strength?
To work hard?
Instead of working hard, it would be better to have a good chat with the scorer.
Having a good relationship is better than anything else.
Seeing that everyone began to agree, the Guanzhuang production team leaned on the field and planted colorful flags.
The approach of beating gongs and drums and shouting slogans to encourage people will definitely not last long.
Luo Xuan slowed down his tone and explained carefully to everyone: Why does the Guanzhuang production team's method of building water conservancy projects produce quick results?
But it has many disadvantages and serious sequelae.
"The Sichuan land is flat. If we want to dig some simple canals, the project progress will be very fast."
Luo Xuan explained in detail, "Moreover, the Wuding River is currently in the dry season. It is not difficult to build a simple dam on the dry river bed."
"In addition, at the beginning, the members thought that their crops would no longer suffer from water shortage next year. Therefore, they were willing to build new water conservancy facilities."
"There are also Xu Daliang's slogans that can make people's blood boil, and various literary and artistic propaganda to encourage everyone.
Luo Xuan summed it up, "Therefore, when we first started building the water conservancy project, everyone was very motivated. As a result, the project progress will naturally be very fast."
Accountant Li said if he had any mistakes: "After a long time, the members' bodies can no longer bear it.
In addition, working on the construction site will greatly increase their appetite. As a result, the food at home will not be able to sustain it."
The women's team leader said softly: "Yes, just working does not bring benefits to the family.
Not to mention that the members felt they were at a disadvantage.
Even their mother-in-law will nag them to death every day! What the members are best at calculating are these small accounts."
"Don't blame the members for their low consciousness and say they are settling petty accounts."
Luo Xuan sighed, "They are all from small families and live a small life.
If they don't count the small accounts, why should they settle them? If there are any big accounts, it won't be their turn to settle them."
Standing on the plain of the Shilipu production team.
From a distance, you can see the members of the Guanzhuang production team, led by Xu Daliang.
In the river, the work was in full swing.
I could faintly hear the roar of gongs and drums, and the fluttering of colorful flags.
The cadres of the Shilipu production team couldn't tell what it was like.
Maybe there is envy and jealousy?
All members of the Guanzhuang production team, old and young, worked together to build water conservancy facilities during their spare time in winter.
this matter,
It has been named and praised by the Zhimi County Radio Station!
Even the Tuocheng District Committee awarded them golden certificates and red certificates of honor!
How can you not be envious?
But the people standing on the spot turned their heads and looked at Luo Xuan, who had an inscrutable face. Everyone was a little excited in their hearts:
Speaking of the Luo Xuan in front of him, is he less capable than Xu Daliang?
It shouldn't be possible. When it comes to grabbing shit, Luo Xuan can do it all by himself.
This completely allowed the Shilipu production team to make a wonderful turnaround on the edge of the cesspit.
Moreover, Li Liangang has been running rampant in the Shilipu production team for more than 10 years.
After Luo Xuan came, he was already treated like a rat crossing the street by Luo Xuan in less than a week.
Now in the Shilipu production team, when all the members are discussing secretly at home, they all say this about the educated youth in front of them:
Not only are they brave.
And his methods are very powerful!
"Watch it!"
Luo Xuan sighed quietly: "Don't look at Xu Daliang's troubles now. When spring thaws, God will make a list for him."
Accountant Li was shocked when he heard this: "I understand!
What you mean is: in the beginning of spring, the snow will melt and the Wuding River will begin to flood.
Now all these crude water conservancy facilities built by the Guanzhuang production team have to be destroyed by floods?!"
"What do you think?"
Luo Xuan asked back, "Wuding River, Wuding River, think about the name of this river and its origin!"
Wuding River, because it often floods seasonally.
And those sandy areas along the river cannot withstand the erosion of raging floods.
This makes the entire river's course unstable and frequently changed.
How could the commune members who have lived by the river for generations not know the characteristics of this Wuding River?
Dou Jiande frowned, "How can we explain this? There are hundreds of members of the Guanzhuang production team, and the entire winter's work has been in vain?!
Should we remind them?"
The women's team leader shook her head: "It's useless. The slogan they shouted over there is that man can conquer nature. And now the Guanzhuang production team has won so many honors."
Accountant Li lamented: "They will not repent even if they are beaten to death! They have been roasted on the rack and there is no turning back."
The honest and tooth-ache-inducing Dou Jiande,
At this time, he could only sigh: "I finally understand. Now if I remind them of the consequences of next spring, the people in the Guanzhuang production team will only say that I am jealous of them.
He deliberately spoke ill of them and wanted to extinguish their enthusiasm for construction. Alas! This good man does not deserve it."
When Luo Xuan heard this, he was very pleased: Dou Jiande is a good person.
But he is good and has no principles.
Moreover, his organizational and leadership skills are quite lacking.
The cadres in the production team are not afraid of some petty calculations or petty greed.
I'm afraid he's too honest, I'm afraid he's unprincipled,
I just know how to be friendly everywhere and don't dare to offend anyone.
Between the clerk whose hands and feet are a little dirty, and the honest and honest production team leader who is just messing around.
