Ma Defu thought hard for a long time. On the one hand, he thought this method was good, but on the other hand, he felt that opening a brick factory was a bit too aggressive. After hesitating for a long time, he asked in an uncertain tone.
"Dad, isn't this a little too hasty?"
"Then do you have a better way?"
Li Jie did not deny Ma Defu's idea immediately. It was a good thing for children to have their own ideas, so he turned to ask him a question with a smile.
Hearing this question, Ma Defu fell into deep thought and asked himself different questions.
Have it?
Is there a better way?
There are not many places around the resettlement site where villagers can work part-time, and the brick factory is the closest one. With the continued advancement of the Diaozhuang immigration policy, there are more and more Diaozhuang households on this land.
However, job opportunities did not increase accordingly.
Although Ma Defu graduated from an agricultural school, he still learned some simple economics in the politics class of a technical secondary school. Nowadays, in the Yuquanying area, the supply of labor clearly exceeds demand.
It is precisely because of this that Li Dayou and the others had conflicts with the brick factory, because they found that for doing the same work, the money they received was less, and the less was not just a tiny bit, but a full three points.
one.
Of course the villagers would not be happy with this.
Then, they had a conflict with the person in charge of the brick factory.
Although the brick factory finally chose to spend money to settle the matter, after this incident, the relationship between the two parties could never return to its previous state.
After thinking about it several times, Ma Defu had to admit that the idea proposed by his father was indeed a good way to solve the current dilemma.
Diaozhuang households come to Yuquanying to build houses after all, and bricks are indispensable for building houses. Just a nearby brick factory cannot meet the needs of all diaozhuang households.
Therefore, it is still profitable to open a brick factory.
but……
"Dad, although this method is good, no one in Ermen Village knows how to bake bricks, and the labor force in Ermen Village is not enough. Besides...where does the money come from?"
Li Jie smiled calmly. With his character, since he proposed to build a brick factory, he naturally did not decide on it immediately. In fact, even if this incident had not happened, he would have proposed to build a brick factory in the near future.
It is true that funds, manpower, and technology are all problems in running a brick factory, but that is only for ordinary people. For Li Jie, investing tens of thousands of yuan to build a brick factory is no problem at all.
funds?
He can take it out now!
technology?
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. Anyone who has read online knows that time travelers have three magic weapons in ancient times: cement, glass, black powder, soap, sugar, bricks, etc., which are also ways to make a fortune.
Artifact.
Li Jie has entered the ancient dungeon more than once. In the Divine Condor + Kunlun fusion dungeon, he once instructed his subordinates on how to make sugar, how to make cement and hollow cement bricks.
However, given the conditions of Jintan Village, the production of cement bricks is not the first choice. Compared with cement bricks, clay bricks are obviously better.
Because the raw material of clay bricks is soil, and Ning Province is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, the most indispensable thing here is soil. Even in later generations, the official issued a ban on burning clay bricks to build houses, but Ning Province has a special geographical location, even if there is an official order
Even if it is banned, it is still difficult to completely eliminate it.
(PS: Red bricks are typical clay bricks. The clay resources used to make clay bricks are usually higher-quality clay from arable land. Large-scale burning of bricks will inevitably encroach on fertile land. Therefore, it will not be until a few years later that the above
A document was issued prohibiting the burning of clay bricks.
It is also true that it is difficult to eliminate the problem mentioned above. Firstly, farmers rent land to brick factories and can collect land mining fees. They can earn more from selling soil than farming, and they also have peace of mind. Secondly, most new wall materials
They are all imported from outside and are more expensive than clay bricks. Thirdly, due to historical factors, the locals are used to Qin bricks and Han tiles.)
To sum up, building a brick factory can not only absorb the village's surplus labor force, but also benefit the villagers. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"These things are all ready, you don't need to worry."
"So so, so so."
"understand?"
After listening to his father's explanation, Ma Defu's eyes suddenly lit up, and most of the worries in his heart had disappeared.
"Okay, now that you understand, you can ask the villagers to go to the village headquarters to hold a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss it."
Today is Ma Defu's second day in office. So far, he has never chaired any village meeting. In the past, he was just a bystander, but now that he really wants to take part, he feels really unsure.
What's more, this time the meeting was going to discuss such a "major matter" as opening a brick factory, which made him even more at a loss.
Li Jie glanced at Ma Defu, who had a troubled expression on his face. Seeing this expression, he couldn't help but wonder what his cheap son was thinking.
However, the young eagle will eventually spread its wings.
This time, he didn't intend to help, at least not openly.
"Okay, go back and think about what to say."
"..."
Before he could say anything, the road was blocked. Even though Ma Defu was worried, he had to hold his nose and admit it.
After a while, as soon as Ma Defu got home, he got into the bedroom without stopping and began to think about his speech at tomorrow's meeting.
After a while, Shui Hua walked in with a big belly. When she saw her husband sitting at the desk, biting the end of his pen and thinking hard, she couldn't help but ask.
"Defu, what are you doing?"
Ma Defu came to his senses after hearing this, turned his head and glanced at Shui Hua, and then told Shui Hua the cause and effect of the matter.
"This is a good thing."
"But……"
In the next period of time, Ma Defu told Shuihua about the difficulties he was about to face while discussing his thoughts with her.
…
…
…
The next day, Jintan Village Headquarters.
Early this morning, Ma Defu told the villagers through the loudspeaker that there would be a meeting at the village headquarters at 11 noon. As the time got closer, the villagers came to the open space at the entrance of the village with their own benches in twos and threes.
The villagers who arrived first saw that the meeting had not yet begun, so they began to discuss something in low voices in the audience when they were bored. If you listen carefully, you will find that most of the topics are related to Ma Defu.
After all, this is the first time Ma Defu has hosted a village meeting, and everyone is also curious about what the new official Ma Defu will say at today's meeting.
"Brother Dayou, you are the most well-informed. Do you know what we are going to do in today's meeting?"
"Well, I don't know."
In normal times, even if Li Dayou didn't know, he wouldn't have casually dealt with it, but it was different today. They found out that there was a conflict in the brick factory just the day before yesterday, and they held a meeting today.
The time was so close, so Li Dayou inevitably didn't think too much about it, thinking that Ma Defu's meeting was just to talk about the 'brick factory'.
And he was one of the leaders of that trouble. If others knew about it, he would not be drowned by everyone's gossip?
