Chapter 799

Xu Haijun indeed had that thought. Before going to the army, he felt that the girls in the village, Wu Shufen and Gu Xiaoxia, were pleasing to the eye.

After returning from the army, both of them got married, one became a national cadre, and one became a housewife.

He could be considered to have seen the world, and now he looked down on these girls in the village more and more.

But he was just a farmer, and his circle of life was so small. It was very difficult to want to know girls outside who he thought were relatively excellent.

This time Li Long invited experts, professors, and college students from the Bayi Agricultural College. Xu Haijun felt this was a very good opportunity.

The two female college students were white and clean, with good looks, good temperament, and elegant speech. As for whether they could look up to him, then strive for it.

Xu Haijun was a scout in the army and knew that opportunities are fought for, not waited for. Sometimes active attack is better than passive waiting.

So he took the initiative to find the team leader Xu Chengjun and proposed that he be responsible for the vegetable supply in the food guarantee for Professor Luo and the others.

Xu Chengjun naturally couldn't treat his own little brother poorly. This was a channel to actively express the goodwill of the production team. Xu Haijun's idea was quite in line with his thinking, so he decided to give Xu Haijun two work points every day.

The money wasn't much, but the main meaning was not to let him work for nothing. After all, Xu Haijun had to get alfalfa, get chives, and couldn't let him work and pay money.

Many people in the production team were also watching the excitement. Wanted to see what the experts, professors, and college students from the city looked like.

Hu Dongfeng and the others finished eating and tidying up, and came out to find Professor Luo, seeing these villagers. The two female students were a bit embarrassed, and the boys didn't care.

"You say we look like the heroine in the novel "Life" who was watched by villagers brushing teeth?" Li Qingyuan said to the others in a low voice.

"That's not quite the same, I see many people in our village brushing their teeth." Zheng Zhiguo didn't understand the connotation of this, and answered seriously.

"Qingyuan means that we are watched as fresh things," Hu Dongfeng reacted quickly and explained in a low voice, "This is very normal. After all, college students are still very rare. I have inquired that there is only one college student in this village, and it was more than twenty years ago. So it is very normal for everyone to look at us as a curiosity."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and find the professor, the professor has been busy at the edge of the field for a long time." Zhu Yuechan didn't like being watched, urging from behind.

Li Long introduced the specific situation of this saline-alkali land to Professor Luo, and then drove the jeep back to the county.

He basically didn't worry about the things here anymore. Food guarantee has Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu, and Xu Haijun provides vegetables and other assistance, so nothing is missing.

Later, he only needs to come over once a day. Even coming over once every two or three days is no problem. Although Li Long is not an expert, he is very clear that things like improving saline-alkali land cannot be done in a while. The current scientific research technology certainly cannot compare with three or four decades later. Wanting to study the specific situation of this saline-alkali land and give an improvement plan might take a long time.

Of course, he has time to wait.

Returning to the county, Li Long went directly to the acquisition station. The seven or eight people surrounded by the gate of the acquisition station all showed smiles after Li Long came over.

Li Long also recognized that most of them were second-hand dealers. To be honest, it is now the busy farming season, and farmers are busy with their own crops in the fields.

And now the market has allowed free trading, and those who are not reconciled to digging for food in the fields, or those who don't have proper jobs in the city, have started this line of work.

These people don't have much capital. They can collect one or two skins, or hundreds of grams of cashmere, or ten kilograms of licorice, which is about it.

Li Long has also explored it these days. It is quite a lot to meet two or three or four people who truly live by picking medicinal herbs or hunting in a week.

After all, the county is a large agricultural county, and there are few people engaged in fishing and hunting. Basically, they are like Li Long in the past, doing a little bit when they are free, as a side job to earn some pocket money.

After all, whether hunting or fishing, it carries some technicality, and few people are engaged in it, which is not safe. Unlike farming, even if you don't know how to farm, following others to draw a cat and paint a tiger will still have a harvest.

In a morning, Li Long collected a jeep of things and pulled them back to the courtyard.

After eating lunch, he didn't rush to the acquisition station, but started the tractor and loaded the rabbit skins, sheep skins, and ordinary medicinal herbs in the side room, and rushed to the leather factory in the county.

Li Long is also an old customer of the leather factory now. After the gatekeeper saw him, he let him in directly.

The price of spring skins is slightly lower than winter skins. The technicians of the leather factory saw that the quality of these skins collected by Li Long was uneven, but they didn't say anything.

They already knew that these skins of Li Long were also collected from various places, so the quality was certainly different.

Human feelings are human feelings, business is business. Grade these skins according to the grade and set the price, and let Li Long sign to get the money. Li Long didn't pay attention to anything. For this half-car of skins, he earned more than two hundred yuan.

There were also some water rat skins and yellow sheep skins he kept, preparing to give to Zhao Hui.

The quantity of those skins was smaller, but the price was higher.

Coming out of the acquisition station, Li Long drove the tractor and rushed to the medicinal material company.

The medicinal material company is the same as the acquisition station. They have their own purchasing points, so they don't do retail business.

Every time Li Long brings a large quantity, they don't mind having one more stable supplier.

Next, Li Long basically went to the Fourth Team to turn around every morning to see the situation.

Xu Haijun took over the help on the day, cleaned up the warehouse of the old horse number, and brought people to help the research team install the experimental equipment.

Specific operations couldn't be participated in. Xu Haijun ran back and forth at the old horse number almost all day, and lunch and dinner were also eaten here.

When eating, he intentionally or unintentionally talked about his experiences as a scout, which stunned these college students.

At this time, the ten-year two-mountain wheel battle was going on. The status of soldiers in the hearts of ordinary people had always been quite high. Scouts were like special forces in later generations, very mysterious. The college students loved to listen to the things he told.

But what made Xu Haijun a bit depressed was that after he finished telling his things, these students started to ask him about Li Long.

Actually, on the afternoon of the first day, the students had already heard quite a lot about Li Long from Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu and the others.

These students all felt it was very magical. How could a person who didn't even graduate from middle school properly create such a large career in three or four years?

Almost from nothing, he tossed out a family fortune that was worth many ten-thousand-yuan households now.

If you say he has luck, that's fine, but he happens to understand agricultural machinery, knows that mechanization is the way out for agricultural production, knows scientific farming, and can lead villagers to get rich together.

This is simply the perfect male lead in novels and movies.

The next day Li Long went to the old horse number to turn around, and when he was about to leave, he met someone who surprised him a bit.

Jiang Zhiyu, the propaganda committee member of the township.

After Jiang Zhiyu saw Li Long, she got off her bicycle and complained:

"Comrade Li Long, we can be considered old acquaintances. You have set up such a large project here, and you didn't tell me in advance.

If I hadn't actively contacted people in your team, I wouldn't know that you invited experts and professors from the Bayi Agricultural College. You hid deep enough, really not a friend!"

Li Long thought that I didn't know you regarded me as a friend.

Of course, he couldn't say this to her face, laughing and joking with Jiang Zhiyu:

"I thought this was just an ordinary soil improvement research project, and didn't expect you to attach so much importance to it. Now you know it's not too late. Professor Luo and the others have only been here for two days, installed the equipment yesterday, and only started preparing work today. You can just interview them."

"It's not just me. Today, the township head and secretary were also going to come here. There is a meeting in the county, which is to prevent snowmelt floods. I came over to hit a forward station, they might come in the afternoon."

"Hey, no need to make it so big, right?" Li Long was a bit surprised, "I think it's just an ordinary soil improvement project."

"That's what you think," Jiang Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you think it's very easy for experts and professors from the Bayi Agricultural College to come to the grassroots countryside to set up projects?"

"I think it's quite easy," Li Long said while taking her to the horse number, "I just told Professor Luo about my concept, and then he decided to come."

Jiang Zhiyu had the urge to punch Li Long. Then she immediately discovered a key piece of information, stopped and asked:

"This project was told to them by you, and then they came over to research, instead of the project they originally set up?"

"Yes, it was thought of by me. I chatted with another professor when I went to the Bayi Agricultural College, and Professor Luo himself is researching this aspect, he was very interested, and then determined this research topic."

This matter was nothing that couldn't be said. Professor Luo himself told everyone when eating yesterday.

Jiang Zhiyu looked at Li Long with admiration again. This is a treasure youth, she felt that she could dig quite a lot of news from Li Long in the future.

Hmm, she was determined to squat at this point of the Fourth Team in the future.

Professor Luo was debugging the experimental equipment. Li Long introduced Jiang Zhiyu's identity to them.

As for the follow-up, the township head and secretary were coming here to visit, Li Long didn't say, this kind of thing was left to Jiang Zhiyu to tell them herself.

As the propaganda committee member of the township and a special reporter for the prefecture daily, Jiang Zhiyu played her identity advantage very well. After finishing greeting Professor Luo, she started from the students and chatted for a few sentences, and obtained very important information.

She verified the content Li Long said. The project was indeed proposed by Li Long, and then reported by Professor Luo to the college to determine the topic for research.

After the shock, Jiang Zhiyu started the formal interview.

During the interview, she also discovered this special breeding farm she had paid attention to before, and now the scale was becoming larger and larger.

At this time, Jiang Zhiyu was already looking forward to it, imagining how big Li Long's industries could become in a few years.

Because Li Long had things to do at the acquisition station, he left after introducing Jiang Zhiyu and Professor Luo.

Half an hour after he left, the township head and secretary came to the Fourth Team together. Along with them were several staff members from the township. The bicycles of these staff members carried some materials.

Jiang Zhiyu played Li Long's previous role this time, introducing Professor Luo and the rest of the college students to the leaders.

To be honest, since the establishment of this township, or from the commune period to now, this is the first time that a university research team has come to research agricultural projects.

And this wasn't bridged by the township, but they came voluntarily (Li Long's role was ignored here). Speaking privately, the township head and secretary could take this as a political achievement when reporting to the county later. Speaking of the interests of the masses, the saline-alkali land owned by the township adds up to about more than 100,000 mu.

If the soil improvement of this saline-alkali land can be achieved, then the cultivated land area of the township will double, how much more grain can be produced, and how much income can be brought to farmers!

This is a big thing!

The township head and secretary attached great importance to this matter, said many words of thanks to Professor Luo, and also told the staff that they must guarantee the life here, the focus is on food.

"Li Long here, the production team has already taken good care of us," Professor Luo said sincerely, "There is meat to eat every meal, fresh vegetables, to be honest, it is better than what we eat at school, and no food fee is charged. The township doesn't need to be troublesome."

"That can't be done!" The secretary waved his hand, "The village is the village's, Li Long's heart is Li Long's heart. If we don't express something in the township, if this matter is known by the county, won't we be scolded? Besides, this is also our true thought, we are really grateful to you."

The secretary also said very sincerely, Professor Luo couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

He didn't expect that after the research team came over, it would alarm so many aspects.

Professor Luo even thought, wouldn't people from the county also come over later?

Jiang Zhiyu was used as a liaison, and she would come here every day to dock with Professor Luo and the others, record the needs of Professor Luo and the others, and if the township needs to cooperate, it will be reported by her.

Jiang Zhiyu was eager to do so. She also wanted to dig more news here and write it into a series of reports.

In the next few days, Li Long went to the mountains, sent some rice and flour, and also got the material list needed by Halimu and the others.

Then he went to the animal husbandry team's retention point and sent some daily necessities to the families of Halimu and Yushanjiang, mainly rice, flour, oil, and some Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and onions.

Halimu and the others also slaughtered sheep and sent them over. These two families now have wind-dried meat hanging. Li Long originally planned to send some meat, but looking at it now, it was temporarily unnecessary.

Next, Li Long drove the tractor into the mountains. The materials needed by the herdsmen in the mountains were relatively many, and the jeep had to run several times. Li Long simply drove the tractor and pulled it all at once.

Two days after he returned from the mountains, Halimu and the others packed their things and transferred.

The grass in the summer pasture in the mountains had grown. Now it was time for the winter pasture to recuperate. If they went late, the grass in the winter pasture wouldn't grow, and if the grass wasn't cut enough in the autumn, it might be more troublesome in the winter.

Life is like this, one ring after another, closely related. The things done at each time node are specific. Missing them might have a great impact.

After the matter in the mountains was solved, Li Long's main mind was on the acquisition station.

He would occasionally remind those second-hand dealers that after a period of time, the opening time of the acquisition station would change from opening every day to opening once every two days.

Those second-hand dealers also expressed understanding. Anyway, as long as the door is open, whether it is opened every day or once every two days, it doesn't have much impact on them.

Li Long keenly discovered that the number of people coming to the acquisition station to sell fritillaria had slowly increased. The fritillaria in the mountains should have entered the mining season now.

It seems that the exchange point in the mountains is also going to open. I don't know if Sun Jia Qiang will come this year?

Li Long still goes to the old horse number of the Fourth Team to turn around every day. The research progress of Professor Luo and the others cannot be seen at the moment.

The research team was also worried that Li Long would be anxious. After all, the guarantee was so good, and the investment was relatively large. If no progress could be seen, ordinary people, especially laymen, would be anxious.

But Li Long was not anxious at all, and even went every day, simply not asking about the research progress. Just asking the research team, or chatting with Xu Haijun, whether there are any difficulties here.

This made Professor Luo and the others feel a bit of pressure.

Things are so strange. If Li Long took the initiative to ask, Professor Luo and the others would have long had this rhetoric in mind. But Li Long didn't ask, and their research progress didn't produce results, so they were anxious themselves.

In the research of agricultural technology, it is originally something that cannot be rushed. It is normal not to produce results in a short time, which Li Long understands very well.

In such a process, Li Xiangqian called Li Long again.

In the field of agricultural science research, it was something that couldn't be rushed. It was normal not to produce results in a short time, and Li Long could understand this very well.

"Then the cooperative gives the task to me, how many yuan can be produced?" Li Long asked.

"The State Federation has sent a notice. This year's 'lifting-pole' task is four thousand, and the price given by the State Federation for each pole is ten yuan."

"Then if the team gives the task to me, how much can I get?" Li Long asked.

"We have to provide the vehicles to haul them, and then we have to send them to the state. One yuan is deducted for each pole." Li Xiangqian was very loyal; he left the lion's share to Li Long. "I'll calculate it at nine yuan for you; you decide how much to distribute to those below yourself."

"That's fine," Li Long thought for a while and said, "Finish this year's first."

"But to tell you the truth, there might not be a single 'lifting-pole' next year. You have to be mentally prepared for this." Li Xiangqian broke another piece of news to Li Long. "Now, fewer units are using 'lifting-poles'. A considerable portion of these poles were for brother provinces. There might not be any tasks next year."

He planned to say it after finishing, this is the last time. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 800 =====

Four thousand 'lifting-poles' still required the Fourth Team, Qingshuihe Village, and Liang Wenyu's side to cooperate to get it done.

He planned to tell everyone after finishing the work that this was the last time. (End of chapter)
