Going back to the past starts with grazing

"Brother Zhang? Why are you here? You haven't eaten yet. Let's eat something together." Early the next morning, Xu Lingjun and the others were having breakfast at the guest house. When they looked up, it was Zhang Guodong who came over. Xu Lingjun hurriedly stood up and said.

"Brother Zhang, sit here, I'll get you some breakfast!" Wang Hongwu had been following Zhang Guodong all along, so of course he respected him, seeing that Zhang Guodong seemed a bit out of place, he hurriedly moved away and ordered him a breakfast.

The county is not far from their seventh team. Feng Limin brought Wang Fuxing and the others back to the team after dinner last night, while Wang Hongwu and Gao Changgui stayed behind to wait for Xu Lingjun.

"Brother Zhang, I heard from the captain that you are the factory director of the on-site department. How are you doing? Are you busy?" Xu Lingjun asked casually.

"Hey! Don't mention it, it's all about things. Look at how my hair has turned white in the past few years. Lingjun, you haven't changed at all." Zhang Guodong said with emotion.

After an early meal and a few small cigarettes, I feel that Xu Lingjun is still as close as before, and Zhang Guodong's sense of alienation has gone a lot.Seeing that Xu Lingjun still looks young, but he has aged a lot in recent years, he can't help but sigh.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, have all the horses from our ranch been sent out?" Xu Lingjun asked hurriedly thinking of those war horses.

"Hey! Don't mention it. It is said that it is allocated to the local government, but they don't want it at all. The obedient ones are taken away, and a few are looking for trouble. Most of them are waiting and watching, so our horses are basically still in each brigade. I'm raising it!" Zhang Guodong said with a sigh.

"Looking for trouble?" Xu Lingjun asked suspiciously.

"The staff on the team was reduced, and they were separated from our ranch immediately. The people there didn't know how to arrange them, and the subsidy was even tighter. After separation, let our farm department handle it by itself."

"Ling Jun, it's not that you don't know how many small factories our field department is affiliated with, and many of them are losing money. It's just that Factory Manager Wang and the others have streamlined them in the past few years." Zhang Guodong said with a wry smile.

In the past, they were backed by big trees and supported by the troops above. Their life on the ranch was pretty good, just like those public units, where they had food and wages.

"I know this, but what does this have to do with local job hunting. I heard from Wang Fuxing that the temporary workers in the field department will be sent back." Xu Lingjun said puzzled.

"Hey! Listen to me slowly, I am really aggrieved to be the factory manager of this department. To tell you the truth, Ling Jun, I really have no choice. The field department plus various subsidiary factories add up to thousands of dollars. No. I can’t even take care of regular workers, let alone temporary workers. If I don’t push people back, I won’t be able to pay them wages.” Zhang Guodong felt a wave of pain when he thought of the financial figures of each factory just after checking. boring.

"Brother Zhang, do you mean that you don't care about the teams under the field department at all?" No need for Zhang Guodong to explain, it is obvious that Zhang Guodong, the horse herder, gave up directly.

"I can't help it either. Fortunately, the higher-ups made arrangements when they separated, and gave some subsidies to each brigade. It's just that a large part of these subsidies have to be exchanged for those horses and places. Now there are no horses in the places, and the subsidies are of course not enough. I can't get there." Zhang Guodong explained.

Xu Lingjun understood that even if people couldn't control them, how could they control these war horses.

"Lingjun, I know you have feelings for these horses, and I can't bear it either! Horses are the foundation of our ranch, we have cultivated them bit by bit, but I can't help it!"

"Horses can't eat or drink. I have to replace them with cattle and sheep, so that the brigades can survive." Zhang Guodong knew what Xu Lingjun meant when he asked about these horses.

Because not only Xu Lingjun asked, nor did Xu Lingjun feel that it was a pity, but the reality is like this, and it can only be like this for the sake of future life.

"Hey! It's useless to say that. Now people are even more reluctant to ask for tractors, and horse-drawn carts are not rare. If this drags on, I don't know how to subsidize them." Zhang Guodong sighed and continued. Smoke said.

Today's Zhang Guodong is like a resentful woman, in fact, I can understand it, these days are really too much pressure, and now I finally caught Xu Lingjun to express my feelings without saying a few words!
"Brother Zhang, can I change these horses?" Xu Lingjun said suddenly.

"Our horses used to be delicious, but now no one wants them~ What? What did you say just now?" Zhang Guodong was talking to himself, when he suddenly heard that Xu Lingjun wanted to change horses, he couldn't believe it.

"Brother Zhang, let me ask if I can change some horses." Xu Lingjun said solemnly.

"How much?" Zhang Guodong asked with bright eyes.

"I want all the first-class horses in our ranch." Xu Lingjun thought for a while and said.

Their ranch will hand over a batch of war horses to the army every year. The grades are very fine. This is related to the work points of each brigade. There is nothing to say about special horses. They are all top-notch horses, and then they are the next-level horses. First-class horses, followed by second-class and third-class horses.

For example, when there was a lack of war horses in the past, these horses would be incorporated into the team immediately after they were handed over. Later, when there were more horses, the third-class horses could only pull carts, and later most of the second-class horses would be reduced to pulling carts.

Therefore, first-class horses and above are the elite horses of the ranch, which is the foundation of their entire ranch.

Now it is not the case that the horses are handed in in previous years, and there will be enough stallions on the team. That is to say, the current horses are the horses of their entire ranch. Even Xu Lingjun has to be above the first-class horses. It also means that he will give a lot of compensation.

"Lingjun, you have to think about it. This is not a joke. Even if you have to wait for the first-class horses, there should be one or two thousand." Zhang Guodong knows that Xu Lingjun is rich, but the price of so many horses is not cheap. The key is the follow-up Work more.

You have to arrange these horses, the current pastures are all allocated to the brigade below, how can you feed so many horses without space.

"It's okay, let me discuss with Team Seven and see if it's okay for me to pay them to raise horses for me." Xu Lingjun said with a smile.

This idea was also just thought of by him. He was really reluctant to part with those horses. If the horses were put in place, they would be scrapped in three to five years. If they want to get such good horses in the future, the price will be high. .

"That's for sure! Who doesn't want to pay wages. Let's say something conscientious, Ling Jun, I know you are a conscientious person, and I think of everyone's affection, but you are a person after all, you can help How many."

"There are so many horses, it's a bottomless pit! You can fight for a few years, and what will you do with those horses after a few years." Zhang Guodong persuaded in a low voice.

Yes, if Xu Lingjun bought all these horses and paid the seventh team a salary, he would be helping Zhang Guodong solve a big problem, but as a brother, he couldn't harm Xu Lingjun!
"Don't worry, Brother Zhang. I've figured out a way. I'm sure we won't lose money. Our horses are all first-class horses. If you count them as subsidized horses, you will lose a lot." Xu Lingjun said mysteriously.

He really thought of a way. Not only would he not lose money after getting these horses done, but he could also make a lot of money. These horses could also be kept, and the life of Team Seven would be solved.

"Really! Ling Jun, don't lie to me. People want tractors now, and no one cares about horses anymore." Zhang Guodong asked dubiously.

"It shouldn't be a problem, let's see. I don't know if we can get there when I make a phone call." Xu Lingjun muttered at last.
