Chapter 322 Establishing a factory has a long way to go
The technician said, "Lao Huang, have you heard of rice pork?"

"It's more than just heard that the year before last, my family raised a pig for a year. The butcher at the entrance of the village bought it and sent it back to me after slaughtering. You can't have rice and pork. This is the rule." Huang Er said.

"That's right, rice pork is a parasite in pigs. It is infected through the feces of people, dogs, and cats. So your empty yard for raising pigs must be kept clean and cleaned frequently. Don't let dogs in. I will come in half a month. Give me medicine for killing insects and strengthening the stomach." The technician left after speaking.

Huang Er sighed very much. Although he knew how to raise pigs, he still didn't understand some technical things. It seemed that he had to study frequently in the future. How could he raise pigs well without technology.

In the evening, the two sons came back and were very happy to see the pig.

The second son, Huang Tao, said: "Father, after half a month of work, I'm going to go out to work, and I'm going to make a living."

"Your wings are stiff. You are still young. You are easy to do, but hard to get money. If you want wages, they also want your life. There are not many bosses outside who are not evil, and they are at home with peace of mind. Let's raise pigs with dad, I just got two pigs." Huang Er said.

Huang Tao curled his lips: "You pretend I don't know, your little money is only enough for my brother to marry a wife. I have to find a way to marry a wife, otherwise I can only be a bachelor. Today I met Wudu head, Wudu As I said before, after the road is built, we will recruit some strong men to cultivate wasteland in our county, with food and housing included. Two hundred cash for the first month. You don’t have to worry about the salary, as long as you are selected, you will be given a salary of two taels of silver, which is half a year’s salary.”

Huang Er is very excited about the two taels of silver. The family of seven can’t have two taels of silver left all year round. Although they have income, they can’t afford to spend it. big.

The main roads in the county used to have a foundation, and it was not too laborious to repair them. The 5 people worked very hard, and the Baozheng of each village took the lead and supervised.At the beginning, Chai Lin was still a little worried. After all, the people in the mountainous area are very difficult. It is difficult to build roads and bridges to recruit young men. I didn’t expect more than 5 people to come when I heard that the construction site was in charge of three meals. , five thousand catties of pickles are consumed every day, not to mention other supplies.

It is less laborious to build the road, after all, it is a rammed earth road, but it is more expensive to build the bridge. The cement and steel bars are shipped from Jeju Prefecture, and a camel can only carry three bags of cement.Fortunately, they are all small bridges, otherwise it would be a waste of effort.

In the county government, Chai Lin looked at the report and said: "Planting land, raising pigs, and raising sheep have to be developed until the year of the monkey. We still have to build a factory. The long-distance transportation of cement is too laborious, and horse-drawn carts are not available everywhere."

In the south of the Mengshan mountain area, there are bluestone mountains everywhere. These are good materials for making cement. Coal can be transported from Teng County. coal.

Dian Zhengnan yawned, and said, "Brother, it's too much effort. Why don't you give each household ten taels of silver, and the entire county has more than 2 households. Once you send 20 taels, you will become rich in no time."

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Zhengnan's method is good, convenient and fast, and he will be rich in an instant, but as the saying goes, it's not hard-earned money, and you can't keep it. Except old age, chronic illness and other loss of labor force In other cases, I will not send money or goods for no reason. The regulations I discussed with the county magistrate Chen are that those who are over 65 years old, have no children or have no ability to support their children, will be given food twice a year in winter and summer, and a relief of [-] yuan will be given each time. A catty of sorghum, twenty catties of millet."

"Mr. is right. Development is not simply sending money. Apart from natural conditions, poverty is also caused by people's ideology. I went to a family yesterday, and the three brothers all Three men around 40 years old, all bachelors, it is said that they can make a living by doing anything at their age, the three of them are lazier than the other, and they go to other people's weddings and weddings with rice bowls to beg for food, you say such a person , you just give him 100 taels, and he can last for a few days. Meals are only good if you earn them, and money can only be taken if you earn it yourself. I have no problem with the relief of widows and loneliness, as long as it can be sent to those who need it, spend some money Nothing. In addition, a boarding school will be built in the county to adopt orphans." Chailin said.

Zhu Wu said: "Brother, Mengshan is rich in local resources. In addition to Yimeng black pigs and green goats, the local yellow cattle are very good. They are small. The bulls are only about [-] catties, and the cows are [-] to [-] catties smaller. But it is strong enough to pull a cart on plowed land, and it can last for more than ten years, which is very good. The local donkey is even smaller, around three hundred catties, and it does a good job.”

"Cows have limited potential. They can only give birth to one per litter, and the cycle is very long. Now according to the government's requirements, cattle are not allowed to be killed at will, and merchants generally dare not take risks. Most of them are old and sick cattle. Donkeys have the same characteristics, just like cattle. Development The cycle is long, and it is obviously unrealistic to develop only from the local area, and it is even more difficult to transfer from other places. The existing large livestock should be subsidized with a small amount and seek long-term development." Chailin said.

"It can only be like this. The slow reproduction of large animals is a flaw. The number of mules and horses in Chaijiazhuang has increased sharply. Thousands of mules and horses can be organized during the farming season to come to plow the land and earn working hours." Zhu Wu said.

"Okay, let's guide the development in the spring of next year." Chai Lin said.

Chen frame came in from the outside muttering, obviously annoyed.

Chai Lin asked: "Magistrate Chen, what's the matter?"

Chen Jia said with a bitter face: "Today at noon, I caught a peddler who was bullying the market. I only gave him [-] catties of carrots, and I didn't have any principles."

Chai Lin said with a smile: "Carrots are not expensive now. The hawker's receiving price is about four catties for one penny. No matter what, [-] catties of carrots cost about three hundred pennies."

"Who says it's not? This morning, a couple in their 50s came to the Chengnan market. They drove a mule cart for dozens of miles to sell their own carrots. In fact, during this time, because the road construction site started , cabbage and radishes are very popular. But the couple didn’t know it. The peddler told the couple that the police would confiscate the carrots to make food for the construction site during this period, and they would not give money if they took them away. Not only did they not give money, but The mule of the cart may still be dangerous." Chen Jia said.

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Such an obvious lie, did this couple believe it?"

"I believe it, because that's the impression they left on the yamen. For the safety of the mule cart, the couple sold a cart of carrots for 290 catties to this peddler at a price of fifteen yuan. Fortunately, Ma Patrol there quickly and find out in time. Deng Fei asked the couple to sell carrots to the logistics of the construction site for [-] yuan. This peddler put me in prison temporarily. This should be a habitual offender. I originally decided to let him quarry He worked in the field for half a year. But the children in his family are still young, and his mother is still old, so it was decided to put him in prison for ten days to see if he can be educated well." Chen frame said.

Chai Lin sighed, there is a long way to go.The mountains are barren and the development potential is limited.However, the population is quite large, about 15 people. First, he recruited [-] strong men to go to Yangma Island to reclaim wasteland.
