Great Power Reclamation

The base of the Eighth Regiment is the same as that of all the regiments of the Corps, and it is together with a local county.This county is called Wencheng.Because of climate and natural conditions, it is a national-level poverty-stricken county.

The Bingtuan people will not compete with the common people for land, so the good cultivated land and pastures are given to the common people.Even including some fertile fields that they have transformed themselves.

Before the land contract system, soldiers in the Corps could live a decent life because they were wage earners and had a fixed income every month, so food and clothing were not a problem.

It's just that after the Corps began to reform, their lives have begun to go from bad to worse.Originally, the higher-ups were sympathetic to their special situation and had always subsidized them.

And whether it is grazing or farming, if they lose money, their superiors will also give them subsidies for the money they buy lambs or seed fertilizers in the next year.

This situation has been maintained until 2000, but under the general environment, the upper levels cannot support it indefinitely.So it didn't matter at all.

It's just been a year since they let go, and most of the people on the Eighth Regiment couldn't hold on any longer, and started to go out to make a living one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the division quickly reported to the superiors. Since then, the Corps has become the first state-level poverty-stricken regiment, enjoying state subsidies.

It's just that for the soldiers here, that little subsidy is just a drop in the bucket and can only maintain their lives.This is also the most important reason why Wang Shuqin chose this place as a pilot.

Wang Shuqin didn't let someone from the teacher see her off, but drove to the Eighth Regiment with two experts and a secretary.

When she got to the regiment headquarters, Wang Shuqin felt a sore nose. It is already 2004, and there is still such a place. Except for the regiment headquarters, hospitals, and several important units of the school, other places are still low. adobe house.

There is not a factory in the entire regiment, so there are not many people in the regiment headquarters, just some old people lazily staying on the street.

The lively and active children didn't know if it was because they didn't have food in their stomachs, but they didn't even laugh and play, and quietly accompanied the old man.

And these old people are obviously old soldiers, because they are wearing old military uniforms that have been washed and almost lost their color, and the skin on their faces is as rough as the bark of Populus euphratica.

Wang Shuqin got out of the car and walked towards the old people. The old people also stood up when they saw Wang Shuqin's car. They were all veterans. Naturally, when they saw the car, they probably knew that it was someone from the higher authority.

"Old comrade, have you eaten yet?" Wang Shuqin hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to say hello?I just asked a Chinese customary greeting.

The old man in the lead was tall, but extremely thin, and Wang Shuqin was a little worried that a gust of wind would blow him down.

I lived in the division last night, so it was already eleven o'clock when I arrived here.

"If you don't eat and don't work, you don't waste food. Let's eat together at noon."

Because of the time difference, people in northern Xinjiang eat lunch at two o'clock, but Wang Shuqin felt sour when she heard what the old man said.

Old people feel less, most of them get up early, how hard is it to stay up until noon?
Wang Shuqin asked the secretary to get some snacks in the car and handed them to the old man, but the old man shook his head: "Little comrade, I am also a veteran, it will be fine if I am hungry a few meals, not to mention that lunch is almost here."

Wang Shuqin persisted and did not withdraw her hand. The old man sighed and looked at the eager children, but still took the things and divided them.

"Comrade, my name is Wang Jinshan. Are you the general manager? What's the matter here?"

Wang Shuqin froze for a moment, then looked at the old man with wide eyes, a little unbelievable.She knew that the old head of the Eighth Regiment was called Wang Jinshan, and he had always been a pacesetter in the Corps, so he should have been promoted a long time ago.

It's just that Wang Jinshan himself refused to leave. According to his words, if the appearance of Batuan does not change, if I leave, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!

Before Wang Shuqin left the headquarters, the chief asked her to see Wang Jinshan. If he had any difficulties, he must call him and he would help solve it.

Wang Shuqin quickly took Wang Jinshan's hand: "Old head, when we arrived, the head asked me to greet you and see if you have any difficulties here?"

Wang Jinshan smiled: "My difficulty is the same as that of everyone in the regiment. Can he solve it? What's more, I'm retired, have a fixed salary, and won't starve to death!"

There was clearly dissatisfaction and resentment in Wang Jinshan's tone, which showed that he had opinions on the chief.

"I came here this time to help solve the problem. Just tell me if you have any requirements." Wang Shuqin said sincerely.

Wang Jinshan looked at Wang Shuqin a few times, obviously he had no confidence in what such a girl could do here, but out of respect, he still smiled: "I personally don't have any requirements, I just hope that the higher authorities can give me more subsidies, otherwise I won't be able to stay." Residents! The dolls are gone, and this place will be deserted."

"Old leader, you can't keep people with subsidies. I came this time to bring a project to see if I can change the status quo of the Eighth Regiment."

When Wang Jinshan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "What project, can you tell me about it?"

Wang Shuqin didn't hide anything, and explained the matter of the ice grapes in detail.Wang Jinshan became more and more excited as he listened, and finally slapped his thigh: "Is this right! I said before that this place is not suitable for growing grain, and should grow some cash crops. They criticized me for breaking the principle of taking grain as the key link, and shutting I'm closed, but the land here is really not suitable for growing wheat!"

Wang Shuqin smiled and said to Wang Jinshan: "I came here this time with the approval of the leaders. The comrades from the two agricultural science institutes were also sent by name by the leaders. Don't worry, old head, if you don't make something famous, we don't like it." will go."

"Good, good, good!" Wang Jinshan said three good words in a row, and then led them to the guest house.

The guest house is very dilapidated, and there should be no one there at ordinary times. There is a woman in her 40s sitting at the front desk, with a blank expression, and she doesn't know what to think about?Wang Shuqin and the others walked to the door, but she didn't notice.

"Wang Anran, what are you thinking? Customers have hit your head, is this how you work?"

Wang Anran raised his head abruptly, only then did he see a few people, and then muttered in dissatisfaction: "Dad, you can't keep your voice down and scare me."

Wang Shuqin took a look at Wang Anran, and the eyebrows were indeed a bit like Wang Jinshan.

"This is a comrade from the headquarters, please help arrange it, be diligent, don't be thirsty and hungry."

Wang Jinshan asked again, and seemed a little worried about this daughter.

Wang Anran rolled his eyes at him: "Dad, I'm the pacesetter of the guest house system, so you still need to order these things? Didn't you have breakfast again, I'll get you a steamed bun."
