Chapter 52

For these professors, Menguhuling is a treasure house. They know that if disorderly development is carried out in Menguhuling and some enterprises with serious pollution are introduced, this treasure house will be destroyed like some other mountainous areas.

This situation is what the professors are unwilling to see. Therefore, they specifically advised Zhang Kaishan, hoping that he could carry out reasonable development of Menguhuling.

Zhang Kaishan heard this, pondered for a moment, and smiled, "I don't know if the three professors can accompany me to Wild Boar Gully. I want to see the special breeding farm and bamboo weaving factory there."

The three professors nodded and agreed.

This time, Zhang Kaishan brought two cars, one was his Santana, and the other was the jeep of the Agricultural Office. Zhang Kaishan let Chen Hongfu, Dong Jianshu, and Su Xinghui get into his car, and other staff got into the jeep of the Agricultural Office.

The three professors still took their jeep. As for other leaders of the Menguhuling Township Government, they naturally also hoped to accompany County Magistrate Zhang, but they could only let them take the broken jeep of the township government themselves. If they couldn't sit down, they could only ride bicycles. Anyway, Wild Boar Gully is not far away.

Jin Taihe was naturally also among the accompanying personnel. When he saw that County Magistrate Zhang personally named Su Xinghui to get into his car, he was shocked and stunned. Obviously, this was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Since the last time Su Xinghui beat Luo Ming'an and lost Jin Taihe's face, Jin Taihe had hated Su Xinghui to the bone and had been thinking about how to retaliate against him.

But today, seeing County Magistrate Zhang's attitude towards Su Xinghui, Jin Taihe had to plan carefully about how to retaliate against Su Xinghui. If he angered Zhang Kaishan, his days might not be easy either.

The car drove for only more than ten minutes and arrived at Wild Boar Gully. Fang Youcai and other village cadres were leading dozens of villagers to welcome them at the entrance of the village. As soon as they saw the Santana driving over, they shouted together, "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome."

Zhang Kaishan frowned and said to Chen Hongfu, "Let the village not engage in such flashy things in the future. Doing a good job and letting the common people live and work in peace and contentment is better than anything."

Chen Hongfu smiled apologetically, "County Magistrate Zhang, this is also the heart of the common people."

Zhang Kaishan frowned and didn't speak. After getting off the car, he finally didn't embarrass the village cadres, shook hands with them kindly, and went straight to the construction site of the breeding farm.

Most of the buildings of the breeding farm had been completed. Because it was a breeding farm, there was no decoration process, and the wild boars, pheasants, and bamboo rats were directly allowed to move in.

During this period, the village organized villagers to catch a lot of wild animals back, and the breeding farm was lively with chickens flying and pigs jumping.

Under the leadership of the village cadres, Zhang Kaishan watched the pigsty, chicken coop, and rat house one by one, and Professor Rao kept explaining from the side.

How many times can these wild animals reproduce in a year? How many are born each time? What feed do they eat? How much does it cost a year? What price can they sell for? Zhang Kaishan asked these questions in great detail.

When Zhang Kaishan was young, he worked in the countryside for several years, so he was not unfamiliar with raising pigs and chickens, but he didn't know much about how to raise these wild animals, but the questions he asked were relatively professional.

Professor Rao answered his questions one by one. Zhang Kaishan calculated that if this breeding farm was run well, the annual profit would be quite considerable.

The breeding farm introduced a few excellent sow breeding pigs - Landrace pigs, and used strong male wild boars to mate with them. It could produce a litter in less than a year, and a litter could produce about ten piglets. This kind of piglet was the final product - special wild boar.

Special wild boars have a miscellaneous diet. Various green grasses, sweet potatoes, corn, and even sweet potato vines, corn stalks, and corn cobs can be used as their feed. A small amount of concentrate feed and additives can be added to supplement trace elements.

Calculated, various costs will not exceed three yuan per pound, but the purchase price in the contract signed by Jiangcheng Huimin Trading Company with them is ten yuan per pound, which is more than double the profit.

A special wild boar can be slaughtered in about less than ten months, and the average slaughter weight is about 180 pounds. That is to say, the profit of a special wild boar can reach nearly 1,000 yuan.

Calculated based on the current breeding farm slaughtering 50 special wild boars a year, the profit from this alone can reach 40,000 to 50,000.

With the further expansion of the scale of the breeding farm in the future, this profit will naturally become higher and higher.

And the profit rate of pheasants and bamboo rats will never be lower than wild boars, and even higher than wild boars, because their reproduction rate is much higher than wild boars, but the growth cycle is much shorter than wild boars. Fast reproduction, fast slaughter, and the price of meat is far higher than wild boar meat. Can the profit not be high?

In addition, the fur of pheasants and bamboo rats is also quite precious. After processing, their added value is also quite high, which is also a considerable profit.

For example, bamboo rats have the high reproduction rate unique to rodents. They can be in estrus all year round. After mating, they can produce cubs in less than 60 days. A litter can produce more than a dozen cubs. After about dozens of days, these cubs can grow to about two kilograms and can start reproducing again.

At this speed, in a breeding farm without natural enemies, a pair of bamboo rats can multiply into a large family of hundreds of bamboo rats in a year.

The diet of bamboo rats is also very miscellaneous. As long as it is a plant with relatively thick fibers, various grasses, bamboo, sugarcane tips, branches, etc. can be used as its food. In addition, supplement some trace elements and give vaccines. This is the entire cost, and the average cost per pound is only a few yuan.

And the purchase price of bamboo rats in the contract signed by Huimin Trading Company with the breeding farm is 40 yuan per pound. The average weight of a bamboo rat is about four or five pounds. The profit it can generate is more than 100 yuan.

Think about it, this breeding farm can slaughter at least hundreds or thousands of bamboo rats a year, which is another profit of tens of thousands. When the scale expands in the future, the profit will become higher and higher.

In short, calculated based on the existing scale, the annual profit that this special breeding farm can generate may reach more than 100,000, which is an astronomical figure for a small village of hundreds of people.

Zhang Kaishan is a very pragmatic leader. He naturally heard that there was no moisture in Professor Rao's words, and they were all very solid. He naturally also saw that this breeding farm really had a bright future.

This made him very happy. For a deputy county magistrate like him in charge of agriculture, Menguhuling is undoubtedly a difficult point in work. In order to improve the work here, he had thought of many ways before, but none of them worked. Now it seems that Menguhuling has hope of getting rid of poverty and getting rich.

After watching the breeding farm, Zhang Kaishan went to the village committee again to see the bamboo weaving produced during this period.

It has been more than ten days since Song Qiaoli came to collect bamboo weaving last time. Now there are hundreds of pieces of newly produced bamboo weaving. With Xia Zhu's unreserved teaching and the long-term weaving of those women, their level has improved significantly.

The complexity of the craftsmanship of this batch of bamboo weaving has made great progress compared to the last time, and the added value is much higher than those simple bamboo weavings. When Song Qiaoli comes to collect bamboo weaving next time, she will definitely be quite surprised.

Zhang Kaishan heard that the sales of the first batch of products of the bamboo weaving factory reached more than 5,000 yuan, and he was quite surprised. In his impression, it has been less than a month since Su Xinghui found this way, right? He actually achieved such results, which surprised him too much.

After hearing Xia Lan introduce that the second batch of bamboo weaving in the village is afraid that it can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan, Zhang Kaishan was even more surprised.

Zhang Kaishan learned that all the employees of this bamboo weaving factory were women, and he praised Xia Lan, the director of the Women's Federation, for doing a good job. However, Xia Lan would naturally not take the credit for herself. She said that this was all the way Su Xinghui found, allowing their women to also create value.

Xia Lan boldly joked in front of Zhang Kaishan that since the village set up a breeding farm and a bamboo weaving factory, the most difficult family planning work has become much easier to do. Originally, as soon as it got dark, the men and women in the village went to bed, but now they are busy making money.

Xia Lan's words made Zhang Kaishan laugh heartily. Although these words are a bit rough, the reason is not rough. Originally, the villagers lacked entertainment and had no way to make money. What else could they do at night without engaging in human-making activities? Now they have the hope of making money. Who doesn't want to make more money?

After Zhang Kaishan laughed, he said with deep feeling that it seems that the basis of all problems is the economy. If the economy is done well, many problems will be solved.
