Chapter 1251: Cultivating People

Lin Xiuqing slapped him, "If you're okay, why don't you sleep? Sitting up in the middle of the night and laughing there, scaring people to death. Seeing you suddenly sit up, I thought you had a nightmare."

Ye Yaodong turned around, hugged her, kissed her, and said happily: "Had a beautiful dream."

"What did you dream about?"

"I lay there and calculated a sum, thinking that by the end of the year, the money in our family could probably double."

"Where to double?"

"The income from several boats is a small part. Starting from the second half of the year, our bagged fish sauce will be widely circulated and shipped in large quantities. This also counts as one. These two are considered stable."

"Yeah."

"Now the dried fish in the shop are basically very stable, all steadily creating income. However, if we want the money at home to double in the second half of the year, we can't rely on these three."

"Relying on your jellyfish, right? And sea urchins, right? The leader hasn't said whether the equipment can be borrowed, so only two people can go into the water one after another, at most it's a small part."

Lin Xiuqing didn't take what he said seriously. Their family did earn a lot in the second half of last year, but it was less than 100,000 yuan. How could it double?

Even if there is one more fresh-catch boat, it's just leveling with the small boats last year. The total accumulation is only half of what was earned, how to double?

"You forgot? I also invested in lighters. The lighters have been selling faster and faster in these few months, but now there are some inferior imitations. It won't work to rely on this for a long time, but it can still earn a big sum in the short term."

"The most critical thing is, we definitely can't rely on retail to make money, we must rely on dividends. The return was very high last year, and it changed from a small workshop to a big factory in just one year."

"Basically everything earned last year was invested, and it was also used to pave the way. This year, Fang Jingfu said it went smoothly after going a few times, at most it was to deal with all parties."

"So accumulating to the end of the year, there will definitely be a very considerable dividend."

Lin Xiuqing also felt it made sense after listening to his analysis. She missed the lighter factory, mainly because she thought they invested less money last year, and there was no money to divide last year.

This year, it was said that a big factory was set up, buying land, recruiting people, buying machines to expand, and saying that this kind of dangerous goods needs to be dealt with.

So she always thought that most of the money earned was invested. Even if it was divided, it shouldn't be much, and she didn't take it seriously. Originally, they didn't lose money.

"Things without shadows, you have already calculated one after another in advance."

"Happy, isn't it exciting to calculate?"

"Wait until the end of the year. Now calculating happily, who knows what it will be like at that time? You have already calculated the money that hasn't been earned yet. Hurry up and sleep, what time is it? In the middle of the night, still thinking about this."

"It's the middle of the night, the brain is particularly easy to have ideas in the dead of night."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and sleep, aren't you going out to sea at night."

Lin Xiuqing pulled him to lie down impatiently, covered him with the quilt, and then turned to sleep herself.

He was sleepy as hell, yet still had to listen to him blindly calculating money that hadn't even been earned yet.

Really, drawing cakes too much, also skillfully drew for himself, why not calculate how much money he can earn in 10 years together?

She slandered in her heart, and fell asleep quickly after turning over.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about her thoughts, put his hands behind his head, looked at the mosquito net for a while, and then closed his eyes.

After Mazu's birthday, Ye Fu still took people out to sea on the Dongsheng, and Ye Yaodong caught up with the fishing season and fished for ground cages at home.

How many days the cuttlefish fishing season lasted, they went out to sea to catch for how many days, except for a few rains during the period, they didn't go and rested at home.

The income this year was also very average. After the birthday ended, there were quite a few rains intermittently, affecting everyone, so that just after it ended, everyone put their minds on the jellyfish in the next two months, and the kelp.

Originally, they were scared last year, but money is people's courage. More than half of the people made a lot of money last year.

So not long after the fishing season ended, someone came to ask him, how to do it this year?

How to do it? How else to do it?

Ye Yaodong let them act according to the rules. The regulations were already given last year.

He only said that he would go in advance, let them fill out the application form filled out last year again, and he would take it with him when he left to help submit the application. When they go, they can directly use the fishing license.

Saying so, people were also very grateful. It's best to have someone help handle it in advance, saving them from being able to do nothing when they go, and still having to wait for the process.

It spread in the village, and everyone discussed whether to go this year.

However, seeing that Ye Yaodong planned to go, everyone was more inclined to go. After all, he was the backbone.

Also thinking that since there are already regulations and fishing licenses, and maritime patrols have been strengthened, if they are careful, there shouldn't be much problem. Mainly, they can earn more than at home.

Cuttlefish earnings were not ideal, so they had to find compensation elsewhere.

And some who didn't have boats at home, originally worked for others, are now considering kelp farming in the second half of the year. Village cadres also posted production announcements during this period.

There is also a farming arrangement plan for the second half of the year, which will be based on the collective, and each household with intention can send one person to learn, using the work point system, which is what everyone is familiar with.

Villagers responded one after another. Before it started, some were already helping, rolling up their sleeves to clean up this year's aftermath.

Like the ropes for growing kelp, they all need to be cleaned and then used next year. The piles on the seabed must be taken back, so as not to be corroded by being inserted there all the time.

Ye Yaodong worked on both fronts during this period, but he earned better than everyone else. He fished for ground cages on one side, went to catch cuttlefish when the time came, and also hired 3 more people to match them to go into the water, while he stayed on the shore.

So not long after the cuttlefish fishing season ended, he had already cleared the ground cages around the reef, and even cleared to the seabed.

It excited the people who followed him out to sea. It turned out that besides sea cucumbers, there was a large patch of Jiang Yao inserted upside down on the seabed. A small part was also covered with ground cages, but most were exposed on the seabed, standing there layer by layer, like small tombstones.

If it weren't for seeing that there were many goods in those ground cages and sea cucumbers, everyone would have been howling and gone to pull them all.

When Ye Yaodong cleared the ground cages to the seabed and cleared a part, he also felt that the idea of borrowing equipment from the army was hanging.

More than half a month had passed, and there was no reply from godfather, which meant it definitely wasn't that easy, maybe it was rejected.

Now he can only rely on the two machines in his hands to fish slowly. Fortunately, it's not working for nothing. The goods in the ground cages are also a big income.

After clearing the seabed, he called people to take turns to pry abalone. Anyway, it's still early before he goes to Zhejiang Province, just work slowly.

It's just that he was still a bit unwilling. Should have let Lin Ji get a few more sets at that time. It wasn't that he felt this thing was hard to get at that time, afraid of making people embarrassed.

If he knew they would be caught so quickly, he would have plucked as much wool as possible.

Thinking about it, he felt he still had to confirm it. After all, with two more sets, the income would be doubled.

If it can be borrowed, it can definitely be taken to Zhejiang Province.

When his father returned, he let his father watch the house.

He just happened to let people pry a bucket of abalone, and three jin of intact sea cucumbers harvested from the ground cages that day were also kept, and Jiang Yao was also pried for a basket.

Taking advantage of his father's return and someone watching, he got a little bit, and took it to the city the next day to ask for a firm answer.

Originally, he planned to wait until the ground cages were cleared and there were no obstacles, and then the equipment would come in two more sets, and then slowly do it.

Now it's not working, it's not so smooth, he has to go and ask eagerly.

Director Chen saw him bring so many goods again, and they were high-end goods like abalone and sea cucumber that had been mentioned all along, and he was also a bit happy.

"The matter of borrowing equipment is just this last step. I'll arrange a half-day leave this afternoon to send it over. Sending things to the door is more convincing, showing that we are not asking for favors."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Still a chance? I thought it was hanging."

"Originally it was rejected, saying that I had never heard of any fishing association, and wouldn't borrow. I had someone draft an application form in the name of the fishing association. This definitely can't be in a personal name."

"Later, there was no doubt that it was returned. This application form was submitted and returned. It also took time to go back and forth. But our public business must be handled publicly, and there must be documents, and there must be procedures."

"After being returned, I called directly, spent a lot of words to say, and also mentioned that our Ocean Bureau wants to apply to visit the research institute and apply for farming during this period, and the report has already been submitted, and the army side was shaken."

"I'll take these over later to prove that it is indeed to be taken into the water to fish for these to supply the research institute."

"But you sent too many, can't be so many..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "You look at it and keep some for yourself to eat. Originally, I wanted to take a little more to honor you by the way. One sea cucumber a day, no illness, this sea cucumber is a good thing to strengthen the body."

"Sigh, gave birth to a few sons, none of them are useful, not as good as you." Director Chen sighed.

"Isn't it half a son now? No difference."

"Hehe, right, I'll take it over this afternoon, and I'll give a firm answer on the spot. People are there, and people are not there, relying on letters and phone communication, the difference is big. If you want people to sell a face, you have to let people see the face first. You don't rush back today, come over again tomorrow. If it's possible, maybe you can take it back directly tomorrow."

"That's great!"

"I can't guarantee 100%, can only try my best. If it can't be taken back tomorrow, then it's no hope."

"Alright, if it can't be borrowed, forget it. Anyway, do human affairs and listen to destiny, just try."

"Yeah, then come over tomorrow morning, I have to ask for leave from the unit first."

"Okay, then trouble godfather, I won't take up your time here."

After Ye Yaodong finished, he returned.

He went directly to the factory in the city, stayed in the factory for one night, and by the way, looked at the accounts made by Huang Mei recently, which were much clearer than those made by his father-in-law, and the handwriting was beautiful.

And with the buffer of accounting for more than half a month, and the running-in with others, she also worked very skillfully, and adapted well in the factory.

It's just that the unmarried boys all like to spin around her. Who let her be the only young girl.

Ye Yaodong only reminded them to pay attention to the sense of proportion, and didn't care about the rest. Who doesn't like tender white cabbage?

Early the next morning, he went to the family courtyard before work time, and Director Chen was already waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the door and hadn't sat down, Director Chen said: "It has been arranged for you. The two sets of equipment are temporarily hung in the fishing association, which is considered to support the development and construction of the city's fishing industry. As for when to return, it depends on when they want it."

Ye Yaodong was overjoyed. Originally, after chatting yesterday, he also felt that it should be very likely to get it.

Now that he got the firm answer, his heart was also at ease, finally got it.

As for when to return, then talk about it. The things are in hand, there are many excuses to shirk.

"When to go get it? Can we go now?"

"Yes, just waiting for you to come, let's go, I'll take you, how to use it still needs soldiers to demonstrate for you, teach you."

"Okay, thank you godfather, for this matter, let you run back and forth, busy for so long."

"Own people, just a small favor, not troublesome, just ran once and it was done. Usually got so much filial piety and care from you, what is this little thing. Let's go, hurry up, I still have to go to work, estimated to have to ask for leave for two hours."

By the time Ye Yaodong drove the tractor to send Director Chen to the unit, it was almost 10 o'clock. The remaining time was probably enough for him to ask for a leave slip, and then fish again, and then get off work.

Ye Yaodong hummed a song, driving the tractor home. This trip was really not in vain.

Just say it, things can't sit and wait for death.

If your own people don't show up, how can you let people help you do things?

When he went to the army earlier, someone recognized him inside, and then chatted. Director Chen introduced him emphatically, saying he was the vice president of the fishing association and his godson. Suddenly, his status became high, no longer the salted fish guy who sold dried fish...

Ye Yaodong knew that some called him salted fish guy. People around the village knew his name was Ye Yaodong, and would call him Salted Fish Dong. Outsiders would only call him salted fish guy.

He almost vomited blood when he heard it at first. Would calling him boss kill someone?

But fortunately, he also got a familiar face, and then Director Chen helped, and this matter was handled. He also signed on the application form before taking the equipment away.

In fact, the two sets of equipment brought over were very simple, very old-fashioned, not comparable to what he saw them wearing when they fished for bronze ware in the village a few years ago.

Probably also eliminated and not wanted, so it was relatively easy to ask for.

In this day and age, you can't expect too much. The country's industry has just started, and you can't count on having very advanced equipment. Now many still have to rely on imports, and the reform and renewal of technology are not so fast.

One of the reasons for the continuous technological innovation of such equipment itself is wealth, wealth from the ocean.

Many merchant ships and pirates sail on the sea, but due to storms or the ship itself, many treasures on the ship, such as gold, silver, and jewelry, sink to the bottom of the sea.

Even now, there are still many shipwrecks waiting for people to fish and explore. The current exploration is just the tip of the iceberg.

Manufacturing diving suits is partly to fish for jewelry, and partly for rescue missions.

Although it was eliminated, it can be used. He is not picky, having is better than nothing.

By the time he got home, it was evening again. Ye Fu was puzzled looking at the strange things he brought back.

"What is this? Didn't you say let the leader apply for equipment in the army for you? This scrap iron, what is it for?"

"It's this, only got two old-fashioned sets, can be used. I'll demonstrate for you tomorrow when going out to sea."

"Just this? How does it look less reliable than those two of yours?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, unhappily said: "Then are those two sets of equipment of mine reliable?"

"Reliable is reliable, but isn't it different? This one looks not very reliable."

"Demonstrate for you to see tomorrow and you will know, anyway, it's not very deep underneath."

"You said it was eliminated, why not just forget it, in case there is any danger..."

"No, army production must be a boutique. Eliminated must also be usable, and I have been guaranteed again and again."

"Alright."

Others also watched, and at the same time felt it was unreliable, too simple. However, Ye Fu had already said it, so others didn't say anything more.

Those who really went into the water had already gone back to rest. Those in the workshop now were all on duty, standing and talking without back pain, how could they be embarrassed to speak.

Because Ye Fu wanted to see the effect of the two sets of equipment he brought back, he didn't captain the Dongsheng the next day, but followed him out to sea together.

Ye Yaodong definitely had to lead by example and demonstrate for everyone to see, so that everyone would dare to follow him down.

The two sets brought back were actually simpler, just a headgear like an iron shell put in, and then a connecting pipe would input air inside.

The principles are all the same.

He took Chen Shi into the water to demonstrate, and successfully brought a net bag of abalone up, and everyone cheered, confirming there was no problem.

He was also a bit worried about whether it would work going down to ten meters, so he thought this equipment would just be used to dig abalone, no need to go to the bottom of the sea to collect ground cages and catch sea cucumbers.

The abalone on the reef rock is only three or five meters away from the water surface, more suitable for this simple equipment to work.

It just so happened to let the 4 people who went into the water cooperate, two went to the bottom layer, two went to the upper layer in the sea.

Before coming out today, he also specially hired 10 more people. Originally, the personnel had been developed to 6, which could be rotated in three waves. Now that it increased, it became 16.

However, the 10 newly hired people were all novices. He himself also intended to cultivate them. After all, when the time comes to take them to Zhejiang Province, he will have to hire more people, and they must all be able to go into the water.

He let the newcomers all use the simple ones, directly on the upper layer.

Most people in the village know that he has equipment to go into the water. His industry is now many, and he can get equipment to fish for sea cucumbers and abalone. Everyone is not surprised.

And heard yesterday, it also spread, they were all gotten from the army, with connections behind, so they couldn't give birth to jealousy.

He now surpasses ordinary people too much, and everyone is no longer surprised by the fresh things he brings out from time to time.

Those newly brought out to sea were eager to try.

As long as they can hold on, can go into the water without fear, when the time comes to follow him to Zhejiang Province, they can earn big money. Last year, just following to work for a month, wages could earn more than a hundred yuan.

Following Ye Yaodong, staying longer, earning more.

Now villagers are looking forward to being picked by him, working for him, and earning wages steadily.

After Ye Yaodong demonstrated, he didn't blindly let the newcomers jump down, but explained well, and let them bring the new ones to adapt first.

"If you can persist underneath, when the time comes, all of you will follow me to Zhejiang Province to fish. Those who go into the water will have extra subsidies, higher wages than fishing for jellyfish."

"Good..."

"That's great, always looking forward to when you recruit..."

"And following me to work, it must be safer and more secure than following others."

Everyone was a bit excited, this was obvious.

Ye Yaodong also urged them to be careful, and then let them bring the new ones down.

After one wave succeeded, the confidence of the rest increased greatly.

However, some people would feel fear, looking at the bottom of the sea without seeing the edge, and would think about floating up.

There were 5 such people, which was half the proportion. However, seeing them sighing, he gave a second chance, pondering about trying a few more times, if they could adapt, that would be better.

Anyway, they had already been hired out to sea, and wages were calculated by the day.

After a whole day, only two people among the newcomers couldn't overcome it, so that was it.

Ye Fu sat on a small stool all day, sorting, and watching them go up and down, never failing, either a net bag of abalone or a few nets of ground cages.

"This broken thing is really okay."

"Definitely, I am President Ye."

"Then these ten or so people you hired, if they get skilled during this period, the efficiency of fishing for sea urchins when you take them will be high."

"Yeah, right, the Dongsheng still has a few who can go into the water, enough to use when the time comes."

"Then when do you plan to go? It's already the end of May."

"I went down to check, these ground cages will be cleared in ten days or half a month, and in another half a month, it should be almost enough to dig seven or eight out of the abalone on the reef. Leave some in the crevices that are hard to dig, let them multiply next year."

"That's the middle of next month?"

"Almost, half a month is enough for them to become skilled."

"It just so happens that we can wait for the fresh-catch boat to deliver goods, and open it back, but when the time comes, you will leave again, and this boat will be parked there, wasted."

"Who said that?"

"If it's not parked there, what else can it do? All go to Zhejiang Province, several boats definitely all go, where do you collect goods? Collect whose?"

"I have use, have arrangements, you will know when the time comes."

Ye Fu glanced at him, "Mysterious, full of crooked ideas. People in the village have been building wooden boats these few months, all learned from you last year."

"Cut, they follow the trend and can only pick up what others leave."

"Then forget it if you don't say it. Tell me in advance how many people to hire, must be called in advance; otherwise, it will be hard to call people later."

"I'm still worried about not being able to call people, afraid that many people will be scared by last year's incident."

"That's others. What are you afraid of following you? Everyone wishes to follow you, such high wages, working for a few months is worth working at home for a year."

"Wait until I sum it up, calculate it and tell you."

"Then you must be fast."

Two people who were eliminated and couldn't go into the water took the opportunity to speak, and Ye Yaodong also agreed directly.

When the time comes, the fresh-catch boat definitely needs manpower.

Thinking about it, he had a headache again. Just his own people have to take dozens of them. More and more people are following him to eat.

He is now pushed to have to work hard to open up the market, work hard to open up the route to make money.

"After going back, you also have to contact the shipyard to see which day exactly the fresh-catch boat can be opened back."

"Ask Ahai, let him convey it."

"Ahai has learned well this year, looking at people growing up and maturing, and will graduate in half a month, just go to be an apprentice formally, learn for a few years and be a technical worker in the future, can be called a master by others."

"Let's see, it's hard to say how well he can learn. If he goes to be a soldier like Ayuan, it's also quite good."

"That won't work, going to be a soldier has to leave home, don't know where to be a soldier, he is the eldest grandson, still better at home."

Ye Yaodong quietly rolled his eyes, speechless, still eldest grandson, do you have family business for him to inherit?

Lin Guangyuan is also the eldest grandson, can't he go?

"Do you still have a work quota at the village committee?"

"Yeah."

"Didn't take it back?"

"How is it possible? Now the whole village is counting on me, they are too late to flatter me, how could they take the quota back."

"That's also, don't waste that quota of yours, Ajiang and Ahai are only one year apart..."

"Not in a hurry, that quota is better for girls. Why do boys need to be so stable? The second brother's family has only one male, and many things still have to count on him to help, how can Ajiang be so comfortable."

He knew his father must also be thinking about treating everyone equally, but how can he take his quota to do favors, robbing the rich to help the poor is not like this.

His eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law always say his father and mother are partial. In fact, his father and mother will also think about treating everyone equally. They have that heart, but there are many children, and it will never be equal.

The work of the village committee is better left to the girls at home.

"Sigh, should have let them give birth to a few more at that time."

"It's not too late to give birth now. Now it's not casually catching ligation, right? Wait until all are beaten to death, then it's too late."

Now it's not the time for comprehensive ligation, only catching pregnant women. He also forgot when it started, and it evolved into catching married and born women to ligate from house to house.

Heard that unmarried girls were taken away to rush performance.

Sigh.

"Where do I have the father-in-law urging birth." Ye Fu nagged, but Ye Yaodong heard that his father seemed to have taken it to heart.

Many children, many blessings, this is the idea of all the older generation. ===== CHAPTER 1252 =====
