Chapter 1269 The New Look of the Farm
Coming out of the house, Liu Ah Shui had already pulled a rickshaw and sat waiting in the square outside the security guard at the gate of the community.This is a research and development experiment product of the Vehicle Factory of the Ministry of Light Industry-human rickshaw.Only a few prototypes have been produced so far.Because there is no rubber, the wheels made are relatively large, which are close to the original parent model "Toyo Car".

Originally, the vehicle factory really wanted to promote Dongfeng two-wheeled carriages according to Hong Yuanlao's idea-after the Jeju Island Raiders, the supply of horses was not too tight.Lingao transported a large number of horses for use.

However, raising a horse to pull a cart will not only occupy space, but also occupy personnel, and eat more.Private use is too expensive, even for veterans, it is a bit extravagant, so passenger carriages are only used by various departments for official business, except for a few "upstarts" in Lingao.

However, there is still a great demand for short-distance and cheap means of transportation. Whether it is a public carriage or a Lingao urban railway, there is a problem of the last mile.

The vehicle factory then took the next best thing and designed and manufactured a rickshaw instead.The rickshaw has a simple structure and is easy to repair.It does not need to eat feed and occupies a small area.The coachman not only eats less than the horse, but may also do other jobs besides pulling the cart.

This car is named "Zero".The Zero uses new technology developed by the machinery factory or better called "restored", especially the new shock-absorbing suspension system, which minimizes the bumpy feeling caused by the hard wheels.Due to the manual traction, the zero-type faced the problem of insufficient output power from the very beginning, and the weight of the new suspension system was relatively large, so how to reduce weight became the main topic for Jiang Muzhi and Li Chiqi.

In order to make the car body as light as possible, the two racked their brains during the design, trying to reduce the weight as much as possible in every place where weight can be reduced.The first is to change the wheels to steel - lighter and stronger than the wooden structure; because it is human traction, mainly used on the road, so the strength of the body does not need to be too high, canceling the original design of the iron-framed wooden structure car, Instead, hollow iron pipes are used to make the car body frame, and rattan is used to weave the car body, but this car body is easy to enter water, and the improved design uses bamboo chips. .

The standard interior of the Zero Type is a retractable tarpaulin awning and a car bell, and the deluxe version also has kerosene lights and foot bells.Because there is a golden five-pointed star on the rear of the luxury version as a symbol, it is also called "Golden Star Zero".

Wu Nanhai thinks this kind of car is good - he has to go to and from the fields all the time, and has a great demand for short-distance transportation.Originally, the bicycle he rode was the bus of the Council of Agriculture, but now that there are many agricultural technicians and the daily work is busy, it is inconvenient for him to occupy the already rare bus for his own use for a long time, so he simply ordered a deluxe version as a private bicycle. use the car.

The dormitory area is quite far from the office of the Council of Agriculture, which is equivalent to walking from one end to the other.The Nanhai Experimental Farm where the Council of Agriculture is located has expanded greatly.Especially taking advantage of the last typhoon attack, the Council of Agriculture acquired a large amount of scattered land and expanded the fields to the school fields around the county town, connecting these lands to the city.

With the land in hand, the experimental farm started construction and added a lot of new infrastructure.Now there are as many as a dozen entities in the Nanhai farm directly under the entire Council of Agriculture: rice farms, dry farming farms, vegetable bases, economic forest plantations, orchards, thermal plantation gardens, medicinal gardens, nurseries, freshwater aquaculture farms, and animal husbandry Farms, poultry farms, breeding stock and poultry farms, strain farms, crop breeding farms, biochemical laboratories, sewage treatment plants, pesticide and fertilizer experimental plants, tea factories, veterinary stations, etc. There are also special facilities for the Senate Serving the dairy farm and vegetable garden for the office.

Various units and a large number of farm workers gather here, in fact forming a fairly prosperous satellite town on the banks of the Wenlan River.

The rickshaw was pulled to the Agricultural Committee Street, which is the main street of the entire Nanhai Farm, with four branch roads radiating from it, connecting all the units and institutions of the entire farm.After several years of development, the population of the farm has increased dramatically, and with it, the commercial activities on this street have also become very lively.Most of the newly built commercial buildings on both sides have been rented out, bringing a considerable amount of income to the Council of Agriculture.

All the shops on the street have been opened for business. Wu Nanhai sighed with regret. Originally, he really wanted to set up a rural commercial cooperative under the Agricultural Committee, but the Executive Committee strictly prohibited all departments from running their own businesses. Small but complete", put an end to the seedlings of enterprises running society.Only state-owned commercial enterprises and private enterprises in the commercial sector are allowed to conduct commercial operations.

It seems that only the Tiandihui System, a "non-governmental cooperative organization under the guidance of the government", can "save the country with curves".Wu Nanhai thought about it, Ye Yuming had discussed with him several times about the plan to expand the business scope of Tiandihui, and it seemed that he had to hurry up and implement it.

Although it was still 7:[-] in the morning, there were already small stalls set up on the street, and there were also hawkers carrying shelves and starting to sell along the street.

All the hawker shelves are hung with a uniformly made standard wooden sign.This wooden sign is a mobile peddler business license recently issued by the State Administration of Taxation, and all peddlers who receive mobile peddlers in the towns and cities within Lingao County must hold it.

The activity area is distinguished by the color of the wooden sign.Red means it can be sold in all areas, yellow means it can only be sold in the county town, blue means it can be sold in Dongmen City, and so on.Depending on the industry and region in which the hawker is engaged in, a daily fixed business tax ranging from 7 cents to 20 cents on the circulation roll is charged.

There is also a monthly card on the back of the business license. Every day the tax is paid, the police responsible for collecting the tax will stamp the corresponding date on the calendar. The tax can be paid on a daily basis, or on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. , each with a different discount rate.However, if it is found that the payment is overdue for 3 days, once it is found, it will be sent to the Magistrate Court for disposal. According to the "General Principles of the Interim Tax Law", the number of days of tax evasion multiplied by 3 will be sentenced to several days of punitive labor in a labor camp.Therefore, hawkers are very enthusiastic to pay taxes in advance.

The rickshaw rolled on the road, except for the living area of ​​the farm, the two sides of the Agricultural Committee Street became empty again.All the people running on the road are farm workers, farm wagons and machinery on their way to work.On both sides, as far as the eye can see is a large area of ​​carefully maintained fields, ditches and woods.Every time Wu Nanhai drives by, he must pay attention to whether the land on the side of the road has been fully utilized, and whether the basic farmland facilities such as windbreaks, ditches, and roads are in good condition.

Liu Ahshui walked like flying, and soon the Council of Agriculture compound appeared in front of her eyes.The farm office space has recently been expanded with the addition of several new two- and three-story buildings.The layout of the entire building is in the shape of a field, with the office buildings of the Agricultural Committee, Experimental Farm and Tiandihui on the side facing the street, and the back building is the biochemical laboratory directly under the Agricultural Committee and the warehouse of first-level and second-level controlled items in agriculture—— As usual, personnel sent by the Planning Institute are in charge of management.

Wu Nanhai likes this place very much, so over the years, he has continued to renovate the surrounding area, planting a large number of trees, fruit trees, and bamboo forests with economic value.A flower garden has been opened up—in addition to planting ornamental plants, various plant spices are also planted: oregano, basil, thyme, perilla...

The management of these years has made the office area of ​​the Council of Agriculture and the farm surrounded by green trees and fragrant fruit trees. The lotus root pavilion next to it is full of green leaves and the floating ducks play in the water. The natural environment is very beautiful.Nanhai Café is located in this rural landscape. Of course, he himself has a little selfishness. The small church he built is also hidden in the bamboo forest here. Apart from holding small-scale religious activities, it is also his small church. In the villa, he took Chu Qing to rest here from time to time, enjoying a rare relaxing time.

Entering the compound of the Council of Agriculture, Wu Nanhai got out of the car, thanked Liu Ahshui, greeted the workers who were sweeping the yard, and walked steadily to his office.

Wu Nanhai has many positions, but the most important "professional position" is the people's committee of agriculture. He is responsible for the affairs of the agricultural port. He is a ministerial leader who can participate in the state affairs meeting. In the Lingao regime, a veteran holds a high position That means there is a ton of work to do.Therefore, Wu Nanhai needed a large number of administrative personnel to help him handle specific affairs, forming a huge administrative team, referred to as "Wu Office".

At this moment, Zhang Xingjiao, director of "Wu Office", and Wang Tian, ​​deputy director of Nanhai Experimental Farm, were waiting at the door of "Wu Office" with folders as usual.

Both Zhang Xingjiao and Wang Tian were among the earliest naturalized people. Since Zhang Xingjiao joined Goujiazhuang, he has contributed a lot to the Senate.However, there has been no fixed position, and he has been acting as a translator and consultant for a long time.In the end, Wu Nanhai asked him to go: Zhang Xingjiao is a scholar, can write and count, and he is from a farming family. He has personally participated in labor and is no stranger to agricultural production. He is barely enough to be a pen and chief clerk of the Agricultural Committee.As for Wang Tian, ​​he was the leader of the agricultural workers and the captain of the production team when the farm was first established.In terms of ability, he is a competent "leader".Over the years, Wu Nanhai, Wan Lihui and other veterans of the agricultural industry have taught him a lot of agricultural science and technology knowledge, and sent him to a cultural training class. Wang Tian also lived up to his expectations and got a second-class diploma.Wu Nanhai appointed him as the deputy director of the farm.Responsible for the daily production of the farm.

But Wu Nanhai was not very satisfied with these two people - after all, they were "re-educated" by adults.Ideas and thoughts are difficult to be completely transformed.Although absolutely obeying orders, the execution is somewhat out of shape, and sometimes it is completely incomprehensible.In contrast, he still pays more attention to the current group of young people under the age of 20 who have come out of the administrative training class.However, they are still a little tender, and it will take a while to exercise.
