Chapter 569: Thirty-year development plan, starting from the present

"I plan to buy two more tractors. Daqiang also wants to buy a tractor, and then I'll buy a few harvesters from Kuitun. Just by turning to harvest wheat in various towns in the summer, one wheat season can earn back the money for the tractors!"

"Getting so many tractors? Who will drive them?" Li Jianguo was startled, "You can't let the old man drive them, right? I can hang a harvester on my tractor."

Li Jianguo knew that harvesting wheat made money, so since Li Long said it, he naturally wanted to participate.

He also mentioned something. People from the Han family in the Corps came over two days ago. Han Da Chun came over, first, because it was the slack season, to reminisce with Li Jianguo, and second, to inquire about any work that could make money.

Last year they came over to beat reeds and made some money. This year Li Jianguo didn't call him. Although he wanted to make money, he didn't know what to say.

This winter arrived, so he wanted to come over and inquire. When talking, Li Jianguo mentioned his own planting of melon seeds, buying tractors, and Li Long using harvesters to harvest wheat.

This actually made Han Da Chun's eyes light up. There were quite a few in their Corps who planted wheat on a large scale, so they could let Li Long and the others go over there to harvest.

Anyway, the distance wasn't far, just dozens of kilometers.

And there were also Corps companies over there that planted melon seeds. The harvest wasn't as much as Li Jianguo's, and they were handed over.

This also surprised Li Jianguo a bit. He didn't expect that there would be melon seed planting in the Corps companies too.

After all, they were two sets of systems, and sometimes they really weren't clear.

Li Long felt that going to the Corps to harvest wheat was also a good path. Although the staff in the Corps only distributed money at the end of the year, when going outside to work there, money could still be paid on the spot.

This expanded the scope.

"There are people who drive tractors. Anyway, it will be fast to have tractors for wheat. I plan to find Xie Yun Dong, Jia Weidong, and Liang Dacheng, and let them drive the tractors.

They currently can't afford tractors, so I'll discuss it with them. Either they work for me driving tractors to harvest wheat and earn wages, or they rent the tractor with the harvester; they can earn one or two thousand yuan in a wheat season."

What business is best to do?

Naturally, monopoly business is best to do. Li Long also had one thing that he was anxious to do. He originally planned to go to Kuitun to find Factory Director Du after the wheat season ended, but he had to go into the mountains to harvest forage, and then one thing after another happened, so it was delayed.

Factory Director Du didn't call, but when Wei Tianxing went to look, he couldn't buy the harvester, which showed that Factory Director Du still kept his promise.

He intended to further negotiate with Factory Director Du, and it would be best to take down the harvester agency for the Beiting Prefecture. If he couldn't take it down, taking down the two nearby counties plus Shicheng would also be fine.

Currently, the sphere of influence Li Long could radiate was at most this big, so don't think too much.

After all, a report by Clerk Jiang made the harvester appear in front of the world all of a sudden. There must be more than one person like Wei Tianxing who could think of using this to make money.

Even if he couldn't occupy the majority of the market, at least he had to master the wheat harvesting rights in these nearby places next year.

With three or five tractors, harvesting tens of thousands of acres of wheat in one wheat season shouldn't be a problem.

Actually, Li Jianguo was right listening to Han Da Chun. The Corps planted much more economic crops than the local area at this time. After all, the local area was currently anxious to solve the problem of food and clothing, while the Corps was already solving the problem of wealth and development.

Of course, the stagnation of the Corps later had its historical reasons, so I won't talk about it.

Li Jianguo listened to Li Long saying this, and it was indeed a way. However, he thought for a while and said:

"Doing this, you have to go to other towns. Is that easy to handle?"

"Who among them doesn't have a few relatives or friends in other towns? Go find them yourself. If you don't have them, go talk to them yourself. If you want to make money, how can there be a reason to wait?" Li Long smiled:

"When I go back, I'll talk to them. If they want to do it, if they want to go out and make money, then I'll support them. Otherwise, I'll find others. There are quite a few people in the team who want to make money."

"That's true." Li Jianguo agreed with this point completely. He suddenly thought of Liang Yuemei's younger brother Liang Wenyu, so he coughed lightly and said:

"Saying this, Juan's uncle is also fine."

"Right, right, right, how could I forget him?" Li Long had truly forgotten Liang Wenyu.

It was mainly because this person himself was a capable person. Without anyone supporting him later, he went from village committee member to village party secretary, and finally became one of the few people in the county who directly transferred from village cadre to civil servant.

Awesome, right?

So he ignored him subconsciously. Actually, he was also very weak at this time and could also be helped.

Actually, Li Long could have remembered when he went to send sheep to the Liang family, but he needed Li Jianguo to remind him right now.

Li Jianguo was also surprised that Li Long had so much money to buy so many tractors. It seemed that he had truly earned quite a bit in these two years.

Quite gratified.

"Actually, there is another way to make money," Li Jianguo thought for a while and said, "Buy a large tractor to plow the land. There are more than two thousand acres of land in the whole team. Plowing once is eight thousand, and plowing twice a year, plus harrowing, leveling, and sowing..."

Li Long deeply agreed.

However, he shook his head immediately afterward.

Currently, the one plowing the land in the team is Wang Cai Mi. Has he paid off the team's debts this year?

But there shouldn't be much left.

In the next ten years or so, the team's land increased from more than two thousand acres to more than seven thousand acres, but the main one plowing the land was still him.

That broken old Dongfanghong 75 of his had been working hard. Wang Cai Mi even bought an even older Dongfanghong 75 and brought it back to put in the courtyard as a spare parts source.

After all, this second-hand stuff was too easy to break.

Making money was truly making money, from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand to over two hundred thousand a year.

It was also truly hard work. The tractor often broke down in the field, sometimes repairing it all night, and sometimes it couldn't even be repaired.

At first, he couldn't afford a new one, and later he was reluctant to buy a new one.

Of course, it wasn't that no one was jealous of this business. Later, someone bought a Dongfanghong 802, which was also a second-hand one. Of course, it was also used and repaired, and finally, it wasn't used.

After all, ordinary people really couldn't handle this thing.

This was monopoly.

Li Long could naturally handle it. Now if he took out a loan to get a new Dongfanghong 75, the tractor factory would probably sell it to him.

But it was too troublesome. That thing was chain-tracked, and the driving habit itself didn't match his. He wouldn't feel at ease giving such a big thing to others to drive even if he bought a new one.

More importantly, it was too slow.

The development of tractors in the team was when Northern Tianshan's high-horsepower tractors started to prevail. That thing had enough horsepower, plowed land fast, and the reversible plow didn't need someone sitting in the back to lift it. It could plow four hundred acres at the extreme in one day and night.

The plowing price at that time had reached twenty yuan per acre.

Li Long planned to get one at that time. Grasping the news in advance, there would still be national agricultural machinery subsidies at that time. Buy one, and he could even contract all the land nearby in one plowing season.

A Dongfanghong 75 could plow a hundred acres a day at most. At that time, Wang Cai Mi was still using old tractors.

No way to compete. If he really got one, he would simply be riding far ahead of everyone else.

Li Long vaguely remembered that the price of a high-horsepower wheeled tractor at that time was more than three hundred thousand, with a national subsidy of 30%, and he had to pay more than two hundred thousand himself.

Believing he should be able to earn it by then, right?

Really get one, let two people take turns driving, and basically, he could earn the money back in a year.

The main thing was the information gap.

Li Long suddenly laughed while thinking.

The Fourth Team seemed to have always believed in second-hand goods regarding large machinery. The tractor Wang Cai Mi got was second-hand; the Dongfanghong 802 someone else got was also second-hand; the two-eight large-tire tractor someone bought was also second-hand.

When it came to planting cotton, the first cotton picker the team bought with a loan was also second-hand.

It felt like they could never keep up with the situation and were always walking behind others.

Fortunately, the governance environment in the team was relatively good, and the human environment was also not bad. There was no village cadre holding the village administration, nor was there any embezzlement of various subsidy funds.

Li Long's living environment was in the village from the very beginning. It wasn't until the very end, after the land entered the cooperative, that he had time to travel, and only then did he know that not all villages were like this.

It turned out that some village cooperatives couldn't be built without a background; it turned out that some people's land entered the cooperative and only got the first year's dividend, and there was no news afterward; it turned out that some people's subsidies disappeared as soon as they were mentioned; it turned out that some people knew clearly that some village cadres had embezzled village funds, but had nowhere to report it.

Only then did he feel that his village was actually so "model." Cooperatives, connecting a dozen pieces of land together, were established. As for various subsidies, if you didn't collect them, the village would urge you to collect them. As for the dividends of the cooperative, the person in charge would calculate for you one by one at the end of the year where the money earned was used, and finally how much the dividend should be.

The Fourth Team had a lot of land, so even if the price of cotton planted in the end wasn't very good, because there was no need for contracting fees, basically every farmer who bought shares could still distribute quite a bit of money every year.

They also understood that what was distributed was basically equivalent to the contracting fees of others.

But think about it, the contracting fee per acre finally reached almost fifteen hundred to eighteen hundred. If one acre of land could earn so much, then the dividend was also quite a lot.

Even if the expenses were removed, it would be fine if one acre of land could distribute a dividend of one thousand.

Far away.

Li Long knew this situation, so he firmly decided to stay in the village. When the second round of land distribution came, he would contract more land from the team. At that time, the village's land had increased from more than two thousand acres now to more than seven thousand acres, and there was plenty to contract.

Not reclaiming so much now is because mechanization is still far away, and manpower can't plant it; second, because saline-alkali land doesn't produce grain, and it's useless to reclaim it.

But saline-alkali land grows cotton, which is so strange.

Li Long was waiting for that opportunity. He wanted to wait until the high-horsepower tractor came out, grab the first crab to eat, earn a sum of funds, and then wait for the cotton picker to appear, buy a cotton picker, and then he could be one step ahead, and then step by step ahead.

Of course, it wasn't easy. After all, when the cotton picker first came out, it cost more than two million, and because of the engine, it often caught fire during the cotton picking process, causing losses.

!.

So, take it step by step.

As for the chain-tracked tractor (crawler type), whoever likes to use it can use it. Although this thing can be used as a bulldozer if a bulldozer blade is hung in front, Li Long doesn't need it.

He at most thought that when he contracted the small sea, he would take time to dig the small sea and clear the silt. After all, the small sea is different from the big sea; there are many reeds inside, the water flow will slow down, and then the silt will stay and accumulate.

This thing is a very good fertilizer, but people here don't really use it.

Li Jianguo knew that neither of his brothers was a master at repairing machinery, so seeing that Li Long wasn't interested in the tractor for plowing land, he didn't say anything.

Over there, Gu Xiaoxia and Du Chunfang finished talking, and both came out. Gu Xiaoxia wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but was driven out by Liang Yuemei, letting her rest well. Du Chunfang's face was full of smiles; it seemed she was also very satisfied with the conversation with Gu Xiaoxia.

Seeing people come out, Li Qing Xia stopped chatting. It wasn't very good for four men to gather together outside, so Li Long greeted everyone to go into the house.

After entering the house, Li Long looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock, so he turned on the TV.

In this era, there were children's programs at twelve o'clock on Sunday, which would play cartoons. It was good-looking for children, and actually, many programs were also very novel for adults.

Several men watching TV cartoons might be strange in later generations, but it was still very normal in this era.

Li Long sat beside Li Qing Xia and asked inadvertently:

"Old Dad, how about I contract the small sea for you to catch fish?"

"Contract it? What does it mean to contract it? Just catch fish for our own family?" Li Qing Xia asked suspiciously.

"That's not it. After contracting it, you can let whoever you want catch fish," Li Long said.

This sounded a bit overbearing, and both Gu Bo Yuan and Li Jianguo felt it was inappropriate.

All along, the small sea had been the "inner lake" of the Fourth Team. Although it bordered the Third Team, it had nothing to do with the Third Team.

The big sea was different. There were seven or eight villages surrounding the south, west, and north of the big sea, and people from these villages could all go to the big sea to catch fish. No one said anything about this, and it wasn't until later that someone contracted the big sea to raise crabs that it stopped.

Even at that time, villagers going to the big sea to set nets to catch fish couldn't be managed by those raising crabs, at most they wouldn't be allowed to fish for crabs.

And the small sea was completely different. The small sea was watched by Li Jianguo, Gu Bo Yuan, and the others as it slowly became what it was now.

The dam behind it was also constantly reinforced by them.

Li Long suddenly said he wanted to contract this small sea and make it private, which made both of them a bit dissatisfied.

Although this was beneficial to their own family.

Li Long could understand their feelings, but he also had to let them know that the times had changed, and not only the small sea, but many places would be contracted by individuals in the future.

"Eldest brother, Uncle Gu, even if I don't contract this small sea, if it's targeted by outsiders later, the town will also give it to others to contract. Every year, quite a few fish are produced, and the matter of selling money is known not only to people in our team, but to the whole town.

If someone with a heart targets the small sea, and wants to contract it through the town, do you think the team can disagree? Rather than waiting for outsiders to contract it, it's better for me to contract it first.

If you think this is not good, then after contracting it, tell everyone that everyone is allowed to catch fish inside," Li Long said.

Li Long's words were very realistic.

Both Li Jianguo and Gu Bo Yuan were thinking.

"Not only the small sea, look at it, the reed ditch will also have to be contracted by people later, and some people might even dig fish ponds themselves to raise fish and sell them," Li Long continued, "The policy above allows everyone to get rich first. There are many ways to get rich, and there must be people who want to try."

Five or six years later, a capable person in the town failed in entrepreneurship and owed a debt, and finally, the town had no choice but to let him contract the small sea to see if he could find a way to make money through the small sea.

At that time, the small sea had already collapsed once, and there were no big fish inside, only small crucian carp, so that person was truly powerless.

Finally, he gave up.

Currently, the small sea was still fine under Li Long's efforts, and he didn't want others to take this advantage.

So, strike first.

Two years of experience let Li Jianguo and Gu Bo Yuan know that what Li Long said should be correct. No matter where this news came from, for them, it represented that the management form in the production team would have a big change in the future.

That is to say, anything could be privatized.

"Then contract it." Li Qing Xia was extremely satisfied with the small sea. He felt that it was fine to catch fish in the small sea every summer.

Think about it, if one day it was contracted and he couldn't catch fish there, Li Qing Xia felt that life really wouldn't have much fun.

"Alright, when I have time, I'll go back and contract it from the team, and then file it in the town."

"Then how many years do you plan to contract it for?" Li Jianguo asked.

"Contract it for ten years first, right?" Li Long said, "The team definitely won't want much money. Old Dad, how much money can you earn from selling fish caught inside in one summer?" Li Long turned his head and asked Li Qing Xia.

As soon as Li Qing Xia heard Li Long ask this, his face suddenly increased quite a bit of radiance, and he smiled reservedly and said:

"How to say, get two or three thousand."

Alright, Old Dad almost got a tractor from inside in one summer.

Li Jianguo suddenly felt that he was a bit of a drag on the family. Working hard in the fields, the money earned in the end was not as much as what Old Dad earned by catching fish leisurely for a year.

After all, it was two or three thousand in one summer, and if Old Dad worked hard in winter, it wouldn't be a problem to exceed five thousand.

This was still just Old Dad working alone.

Li Jianguo sighed, feeling that the TV wasn't good to watch either.

However, he also knew that he couldn't be like Li Long, and even more so couldn't be like Old Dad, being so free.

The whole family, including the public grain of Li Long and Gu Bo Yuan, had to be paid by him in the end.

Next year, Gu Bo Yuan's land would have to be planted by him, so having a tractor would be much better.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxia's household registration had already been moved to the county seat, so she didn't have to pay that share of public grain.

The reason Li Long felt this production team was good was that there was relatively little responsibility here except for public grain.

He heard Old Dad say that the burden in the interior was actually heavier than in Northern Tianshan.

Pulling back to the original words, actually Li Long also wanted to contract the reed lake. Otherwise, in two more years, the reed bundle task of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative would probably be controlled by others. At that time, it wouldn't be so easy for him to earn this money.

After all, the reed lake would really be contracted, and it would be faster than the small sea.

Of course, it would only be contracted for a few years, and the reed bundle task of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative would only be collected for a few more years. Around 1990, it wouldn't be collected anymore. At that time, paper mills wouldn't really want reeds either; after all, wheat straw was of better quality in papermaking, and the yield of wheat straw was also large.

But in these few years, there were also not small profits. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
