Chang Shide pays attention to the contract signing rate every day. Although the progress reported from everywhere is very good, Chang Shide is not dazzled by the "good situation". In fact, he gave Tiandihui the first phase in Qiongshan
The goal was not set high: it was just to capture % of the "old land" in Qiongshan County. First, it would serve as a demonstration by mastering these lands.
He does not expect to be able to quickly gather a large amount of "old land" in Qiongshan. The farmers in Qiongshan are different from the sugarcane farmers in Leizhou. The latter are farmers under the market economy, are sensitive to the market, and require a lot of liquidity in their operations.
Loans to support agricultural production rely much more on finance. The sugar industry group can easily attract them to join through small low-interest loans. But although farmers in Qiongshan also rely on loans to a certain extent,
They are far less dependent than the sugar cane farmers in Leizhou.
The best way to make them dependent on the market is to let farmers switch to cash crops. The biggest advantage of cash crops is that they require high agricultural technology and have good returns. For farmers who hope to see benefits quickly
It is a good choice. Chang Shide plans to promote sugarcane cultivation among the contracted farmers of Tiandihui.
"The current situation is very good." Liu Xiang is very interested in the Tiandihui movement. He feels that the specific operations of the Committee of Agriculture this time are much gentler than the instructions. It has not achieved a large-scale movement-style "collectivization".
Let’s do it quietly and moisturize things.
Very much to his liking, "I think your goal can be improved, work harder to increase it to %." Liu Xiang said while looking at the progress chart in the Tiandihui office.
"Even if all the farmers in Qiongshan are willing to sign, I still don't want to accept it." Chang Shide looked at the progress chart, "The Great Leap Forward is bound to make mistakes."
Liu Xiang laughed and said: "What's the mistake? We are not engaging in collectivization that imposes a one-two formula..."
Chang Shide shook his head: "You can't make promises that you can't keep. This is the basic principle of administrative work. You don't object to this, do you?"
Liu Xiang nodded: "Even if you have to break your promise, you have to have a decent reason."
Chang Shide chuckled: "Let's not talk about special situations. According to our own definition, Tiandi Club is a business-oriented cooperative organization under the guidance and supervision of the Agricultural Committee. It is not a bureaucracy, but similar to a commercial organization.
.But for farmers, Tiandihui is an official organization. In reality, they are right.”
He continued: "In order to attract them to join the membership, since we do not use administrative means, we must use economic means. It is equivalent to writing a check, and of course we cannot write a bad check."
Chang Shide knows exactly how strong the Tiandihui or the real Agricultural Committee of the Tiandihui is. Even though the Tiandihui system in Lingao has become relatively mature, it is still in a tight situation in terms of materials and personnel.
Under the current situation, there is a huge gap in agricultural supplies and agricultural technicians. Now the Agricultural Committee is not facing Lingao, but the entire Hainan Island. Among them, Qiongbei counties and Sanya region have the greatest potential for agricultural development.
The focus of the Council of Agriculture's development support is that the final result of writing checks randomly is that it cannot guarantee that the promise will be fulfilled, which ultimately leads to a breach of trust.
For this reason, apart from Lingao, Tiandihui only carried out large-scale activities in the two main agricultural counties of Qiongshan and Wenchang. Ye Yuming originally expected that at least 20% of the landowners would be covered by "rural cooperative medical insurance" in 1631, but in 1631,
Under the firm opposition of Wu Nanhai and others, it was reduced to less than %.
Wu Nanhai and Chang Shide had good reasons for their objections: there were no people, and there were not enough seeds, pesticides and fertilizers.
In order to make full use of limited manpower and material resources, forming the first mobile unit to carry out mobile mechanized farming is an important measure of the Committee of Agriculture: with a small amount of manpower and machinery, it can accomplish ten or even twenty times more than what can be accomplished by pure manpower.
Work to save the manpower of member farmers to the maximum extent. Otherwise, only the minimum basic water conservancy construction of farmland is enough to consume all the energy of customer farmers.
Only by saving the manpower of member farmers can they be interested or rather able to participate in various activities organized by Tiandihui. For example, agricultural technology training only relies on the casual service of Lingao's agricultural technicians. It is far from enough.
A team must also be built locally.
Chang Shide said: "We want to build an agricultural school in the city. You, the director of the county office, must give your strong support..."
Liu Xiang was overjoyed that the executive committee was finally willing to relent. When he first arrived in Qiongshan, he applied to run a school in Qiongshan but was ruthlessly rejected: "The time to run a school is not yet mature." When he received the reply
At that time, he also scolded the bureaucracy for a while.
"Don't talk about agricultural schools, even if it is to open a university, I am willing to spend all my family's money to support it..." Liu Xiang patted his chest without hesitation.
"Hey, it's good to have you say that." Chang Shide took out a cigar from the drawer, "Want one? The real Li Quan limited edition, I got it directly from Lao Wu's office and the coffee shop sells it these days
●Who is involved..."
"At most, the farmers on his farm rolled it. Do you really believe that it was rolled on a big tui? If so, I wouldn't be interested in smoking anymore. Speaking of which, does it violate the monopoly law in Nanhai? I remember tobacco
, salt and wine are both under the jurisdiction of the Monopoly Bureau."
"The Monopoly Bureau is just a brand now. Besides, it's not easy for Old Wu to get a license to sell tobacco and alcohol. In the end, he still serves the elders." Chang Shide didn't take it seriously and helped Liu Xiang. "
You have to fight for the running of the school. The executive committee will not object now. Four classes have just graduated from the Fangcaodi Agricultural Technology Accelerated Course. It will be no problem to recruit 20 or 30 people. As for the veteran teacher Wan Lihui, they are also ready-made.
, he wants to do replanting here anyway, just work during the day and open a night school at night. And there is Azi, I think she has some problems with math, but her Chinese is pretty good..."
Liu Xiang nodded understandingly: "No problem. No problem. The basic skills of the indigenous people are poor and they need literacy education first. Otherwise, they will not be able to understand the lectures." He laughed and blew out a smoke ring.
Chang Shide nodded: "There are too few educated manpower. We must try our best to save all manpower and material resources for the sake of the Senate and the Executive Committee."
Then Chang Shide talked about several other ideas of the Agricultural Committee. The first is to establish a model: "open one and support several" demonstration farms. Specifically, it is to open a demonstration farm of the Agricultural Committee on "state-owned farmland"
The farm will specialize in comprehensive agricultural demonstrations. At the same time, it will support a number of farmers, similar to how it supported the Fu Fuji family in Lingao, to create a few models. Similarly, it will also build a rural cooperative model village.
This is a matter of policy. In terms of material, the Committee of Agriculture reached an agreement after consultation with the Planning Institute, which was actually bargaining. A small agricultural machinery station was established in Qiongshan with part of the personnel and equipment of the 1st Marine Mobile Wing as the backbone.
, to serve agriculture in Qiongshan; the second is to build a fertilizer and pesticide factory in the county.
At present, most of the pesticides widely used by Tiandihui in practice are soil pesticides. Native pesticides are generally prepared on site and used on site, and there is basically no preservation. Therefore, it is completely impossible to prepare them in Lingao and then transport them to Qiongshan. If you want to use them, just
It is necessary to set up a local factory, collect a certain amount of raw materials in advance, and prepare and use them at any time.
"... As for fertilizers, how much nitrogen fertilizer can we supply to counties with our ammonia synthesis industry alone? It's not enough for our own use," Chang Shide said.
"Are you going to build an ammonia plant here?" Liu Xiang became excited.
"Wherever, the coal from Jiazi Coal Mine is directly processed." Chang Shide said that the coal from Jiazi Coal Mine has a high humus content and can become a good fertilizer with a little processing. As for phosphate fertilizer, the Planning Institute has made plans and arrangements.
Part of the phosphate rock shipped from Dongsha and Sanya every month is allocated to Qiongshan, which is processed directly after being unloaded in Qiongshan.
Liu Xiang thought this was a good thing. Tang Menglong originally wanted to find more outlets for his coal. If he set up a fertilizer factory locally, it would save a lot of transportation costs.
A large amount of coal from the Jiazi Coal Mine, including the Changpo coal that was later mined in Ding'an, could be transported along the Nandu River to Qiongshan to be processed into high-quality fertilizer.
With these small industries, of course there will be supporting facilities - small machinery repair shops must be there. In the old days, the machinery industry in many counties before the 1980s was the county agricultural machinery factory. Maybe there would also be a coking plant.
Coking produces gas, so gas lamps can also be popularized...
Thinking of the start of Qiongshan's industry, Liu Xiang was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up and walk a few steps in the office.
There are many plans swirling in his mind: building the county's road network, water conservancy construction, running schools, and starting more small industries. In his hands, Qiongshan will definitely become a developed city according to the standards of this time and space.
county seat!
"Great!" He took a long puff of the cigar and almost breathed it into his lungs. "The Executive Committee is really far-sighted..."
Although these words sounded disgusting, they were his true thoughts. He suddenly asked: "I apply to build a food factory and a coconut processing factory in Qiongshan. Do you think the executive committee can approve it?"
Chang Shide said: "The possibility of approval is very high. You must know that agricultural products generally cannot be transported long distances for processing - especially in our time and space."
Liu Xiang nodded repeatedly: He should have thought of such a simple fact a long time ago! Since the Senate has occupied Qiongshan, it is not necessarily possible for the rice and sweet potatoes produced in Qiongshan to be transported to Lingao to grind rice and make starch! Establish local grain processing and food enterprises
It's an obvious thing. Maybe a seafood processing plant will be built locally.
Chang Shide said at this time: "There is one more thing, the food problem of the executive committee..."
