Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 140: Task Approval, The Crying Child Has Food

"Captain, are we going to plant rapeseed on the 240 mu of arable land that was just vacated?"

After paying the public grain tax, Zhao Jinsheng came back and found Fang Wei to ask what to do with the farmland in Team 3.

Because the accounting will be unified starting from next year, he is not qualified to make his own decisions and must follow the team's arrangements.

"That's right, you all need to plant rapeseed. Hu Zi will give you the seeds later, and the necessary fertilizers and other supplies will also be allocated by the team."

Fang Wei asked Zhao Jinsheng to prepare to hand over all the facilities of the original third team and to distribute rations and cash as soon as possible.

Zhao Jinsheng responded and went to work.

After Zheng Hu and his men completed the rapeseed planting, Fang Wei called a meeting of all the team cadres to discuss this year's distribution matters.

Everyone had different opinions. Some wanted to distribute all the inventory and cash, while others tactfully suggested keeping more funds and materials for production.

In the end, everyone still waited for Fang Wei to make the decision.

"We can't divide it all. If we divide it all, we won't be able to survive. This year, we'll divide a little more. We'll keep 10 catties of rice for emergencies, and distribute 1000 catties of food per person. The rest will be sold.

As for cash, the first dividend will be an average of 800 yuan, the second dividend is to be determined, and the rest will be used as a team accumulation. Comrades, don't be so stingy, you still have to focus on the future."

Some people want to share the spoils because they don't want their interests to be diluted by the three teams.

However, if the team doesn't keep more funds and supplies, what will happen to future development? Will there be no life after this year?

Besides, the original Team 3 had more fields and woodlands than the original Team 2. If we really wanted to calculate everything, the account would be impossible to calculate.

Once the team leaders understood this principle, they stopped caring about it.

the next day.

The team began distributing rations and cash, with rations averaging 1000 kilograms per person and cash dividends averaging 800 yuan, with more work more pay.

Even though this year's food rations have been distributed, the cash dividend is only the first one. There will be another income after selling the rice seeds, and the second dividend will be distributed depending on the situation.

The brigade and the commune have distributed rice seed shares these days, and the exchange ratio remains unchanged, with 20% paid in rice and the remaining 80% paid in cash.

First of all, there were 9 jin of [Nongken 58] third-generation rice seeds. After eliminating a small number of unqualified ones, the team kept some for themselves, and 8 jin of rice seeds were put out for exchange.

The production team that received the quota must first hand over 80% of the rice directly to the purchasing station. Only after the purchasing station issues a receipt can it use the receipt and cash to exchange for rice seeds from Team 52.

The purpose of doing this is to prevent rice from flowing into the underground trading market as much as possible.

All 9 jin of [Nongken 58] three-grade rice seeds were exchanged, and the second team earned 16 jin of rice and 69120 yuan in cash.

Next, there are 10 jin of [Nan Guang No. 1] third-generation rice seeds. The exchange ratio has returned to 10 to , and not many production teams come to exchange.

The county also asked each commune to actively promote it, but the effect was very mediocre.

In 10 days, [Nan Guang No. 2] only exchanged 4 kilograms of rice seeds, and earned 17280 kilograms of rice and yuan in cash.

"Third brother, is it that the promotion of hybrid rice isn't strong enough? Why don't you go find Party Secretary Zheng and the commune's Secretary Xu and ask them to think of a solution?"

Zheng Hu was a little anxious. He found it incredible that the rice seeds, which were obviously high-yield, could not be sold.

In fact, this phenomenon is easy to understand. After all, it is a new thing, and everyone has concerns about hybrid rice. It will take some time for more people to accept it.

"No rush. Let's store the remaining 8 jin of [Nanguang No. ] rice seeds. If no one wants them before next spring, we'll sell them to a purchasing station."

Fang Wei was very calm. Good things will eventually be recognized by others and will not be wasted.

If that doesn't work, sell it to Linxian County through the purchasing station. For example, Qinghe County will definitely be willing to buy it.

Subsequently, the team decided to carry out a second dividend distribution.

This time, an average of 500 yuan was distributed, and the team still had 20 yuan left as a production development fund for the future.

The original third team also distributed rations and cash dividends. The rations were distributed at an average of 180 kilograms per person, and the cash dividends were very small, averaging only 165 yuan.

"Captain, we still have 4 kilograms of rice and 8300 yuan in cash left over. We all unanimously request that they be incorporated into the new Second Team. What do you think we should do with them?"

Although the original third team did not have a strong financial foundation, the members were still aware of the situation.

They did not divide everything, and tried to keep some food and cash, and asked to be incorporated into the new second team.

Although it's not much, I've tried my best.

Zhao Jinsheng found Fang Wei in [Poultry House No. 2] and told him about this.

"Team Three wasn't well off before, so there was really no need to do this. As for how to deal with this, I'll call a meeting of the team leaders now, and we'll make a decision."

Fang Wei was somewhat touched. Since they had such an attitude, the members of the former second team had nothing to say.

In this way, it will be less likely for the two sides to have conflicts and it will be easier for them to integrate as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the two of them went to the team headquarters together. Fang Wei asked someone to call all the team cadres over to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.

"Old Zhao, Team Three should just divide up the rice and the remaining cash. It's all in good faith. I'll talk to the other members later."

Zheng Hu also felt that Team 3’s approach was very respectful, but there was no need to make the members suffer.

Fang Wenshu disagreed. He believed that only by putting this matter into practice could the gap between the two sides be completely eliminated.

"I think Fang Wenshu is right. Let's do this. Lao Zhao, you'll be responsible for delivering the rice and cash to the team later. That's all that's left."

Next, Teams 2 and 3 can truly become one, with unified accounting and no distinction between them."

Fang Wei made the final decision and accepted the rice and cash from the three teams.

There aren't many things, but they can eliminate the resistance of most of the original members of the second team, which is beneficial to future work.

In fact, Team 58 had a good harvest this year, and they also harvested a large amount of second-grade rice seeds from the [Nongken ] rice seeds they planted.

Although the exchange ratio of the second-grade rice seeds is lower, it still reaches 1 to 5.

It’s just that the team has too many historical debts, so it hasn’t fully recovered yet.

This year, the three teams received 350 kilograms of rations in two doses, which was basically enough for them to eat and they would not go hungry.

Next, rapeseed was planted in the rice fields of Team 3. The crops in the dry fields had already been harvested and would be left fallow this winter and next spring as planned.

The second team's 40 acres of sloping land were used to plant flue-cured tobacco in the third season.

Fang Wei planted peanuts on his own one acre of sloping land in the third season.

Both sides harvested before the end of the year, with 21200 kilograms of flue-cured tobacco and 650 kilograms of peanuts per acre.

[Harvest crops, points +21200]

[Harvest crops, points +650] [Total points: 449695 points.]

The team sold the flue-cured tobacco to the purchasing station, earning a total of 53000 yuan.

方唯自己留了50斤花生，其余的600花生种子卖了1560元。他自己留了1000元，另外的560元则给了大哥方平、

In the two previous team dividends, Fang Weiyi received a total of 1600 yuan, and Pan Lianhua received 1300 yuan. Adding this 1000 yuan income, the family actually had several thousand yuan in savings.

The income from tobacco curing in the team was not redistributed but incorporated into the production development fund.

The hectic and chaotic merger work finally came to an end.

Not only Fang Wei, but other team leaders also didn't want to get bogged down in details and delay their work.

All the accounts of the original Team 3 were sealed, all the means of production and surplus inventory were registered and then merged into the new Team 2.

From now on, there will be no division between Team 2 and Team 3. In addition, everyone belongs to the merged Team 2 and there will be no distinction between them.

Because the fields of the two production teams were adjacent to each other, the cultivated land in the team was re-divided into 360 mu of open fields, 110 mu of dry fields and sloping land, and 100 mu of experimental fields.

Now that there are more people, the breeding group and the sideline group are separated again. Fang Ping continues to serve as the leader of the breeding group, and Zhao Qiming, formerly from the third team, takes over as the leader of the sideline group.

In addition to the breeding group and the sideline group, the other members are divided into four production groups.

"Alright, the merger is officially complete. Huzi, starting tomorrow you'll be responsible for arranging personnel to repair the irrigation and drainage ditches, and also keep up with the rapeseed field management."

After Fang Wei arranged the next work, he took people to Yaojialing Reservoir to comfort his members.

The construction of the reservoir has come to an end, and Tang Ze's boasts are about to become a reality, which also makes him, the newly appointed top leader, feel very proud.

This is a tangible achievement that will bring immeasurable benefits to the county's agricultural production.

Fang Wei and others went there by chance and just happened to catch the completion ceremony of the reservoir.

This is a great achievement achieved through the hard work of tens of thousands of builders. He himself has also shed sweat here and feels very proud.

a few days later.

All the workers involved in the reservoir construction were withdrawn, and agricultural production this year was somewhat affected by the lack of manpower. However, compared with the benefits brought by the completion of the reservoir, this impact was insignificant.

"Third brother, the pig farm has added 42 new piglets."

There was good news from the pig farm. After the autumn harvest, the sows began to give birth one after another, and there were 42 more piglets in the pigpen.

After the pig farm was expanded, it is now possible to raise 500 pigs.

现在【养猪场】一共有135头猪，其中，淘汰母猪4头、怀孕母猪6头、小猪崽42头、达到出栏标准的成年猪40头，大肥猪43头。

Uncle Wu came to Fang Wei specifically to ask him for help because the pig farm was short of staff.

Fang Wei immediately called Zhao Jinsheng and asked him to find two members with pig-raising experience to join the [pig farm].

Uncle Wu left with satisfaction. Zheng Hu then walked into the team headquarters and said:
"Third brother, Secretary Zheng asked us to go to the brigade to verify next year's grain and pig quotas."

"Then let's go. This matter cannot be avoided. It's better to settle it as soon as possible."

The merger of the two production teams not only increased the population and expanded the area of arable land, but also meant that the amount of public grain, requisitioned grain and live pigs handed over would increase.

This amount needs to be approved by the production team, brigade and commune together, and there will basically be no serious deviation.

Fang Wei and Zheng Hu came to the brigade and met Zheng Xianfa.

"I originally wanted to combine the tasks of your two teams so that no one would suffer or gain an advantage, but the commune disagrees. So, I can't make the decision on this matter. Let's go talk to Secretary Xu together."

Zheng Xianfa doesn't like to beat around the bush and tells the truth directly.

Since the commune disagreed, he would take the parties involved to seek justice. The so-called chat probably meant a quarrel.

"Thank you, Secretary. Let's go to the commune together."

Fang Wei thanked him. Zheng Xianfa was a protective person and he would remember his kindness.

Afterwards, the three of them went to the commune together.

"Captain Fang, your Second Team's income is much higher than other production teams because you've cultivated superior rice varieties. Given this, how do you expect the commune to assign you tasks? You can't just give them the same tasks as everyone else, right?"

Xu Guangsheng knew that Zheng Xianfa was here to quarrel, so he had to take the initiative.

In fact, what he said makes sense. For example, when paying public grain, the amount to be paid is generally determined according to output.

However, Fang Wei knew that he couldn't agree too readily, otherwise, with more tasks every year, who could bear it?
Based on the principle of trying to make some sense even if it is unreasonable, we began to "argue with reason".

"Secretary Xu, the commune has to be reasonable, right? Now they're not letting us harvest more rice when we exchange for rice seeds, and 80% of the rice has been sold to the purchasing station. And now they're adding more tasks to our workload?

This is definitely not possible. If we work hard for a year and still don’t have enough rice to share, how can we continue the breeding work?”

Xu Guangsheng thought what he said made sense, and after thinking for a while he finally relented.

"There's no way around paying the public grain. Your Second Team must increase their previous payment by 50%. We can discuss the purchase of grain. I'll ask for your permission later to see if we can exempt some of it."

The county is too tight, and the second team doesn't have much extra rice.

Considering that Team Two had actually already handed over a large amount of grain, and 80% of the rice used by other production teams to exchange for rice seeds ended up in the granary of the purchasing station, this matter could be accommodated.

Xu Guangsheng asked Fang Wei and others to go back and wait for news, while he went to the county to coordinate.

Finally, the county agreed to use the rice gained from the rice seed purchase to offset the Second Brigade's grain procurement task. This significantly reduced the amount of rice the brigade had to hand in each year.

Actually, this is not correct. It should be said that the county's "withholding" was a little less.

night.

Pan Lianhua made a plate of [steamed bacon] and a plate of [scrambled eggs with leeks], and the two of them sat down to have dinner.

The seedling cultivation and transplanting work in the [afforestation area] has been stopped. Apart from daily management, there is not much to do.

Pan Lianhua has recently been reading a book about "grafting technology". The information on this subject was sent to her by the previous resettlement personnel after they returned.

"I'm going to Qinghe County in a few days. Sister, come with me."

Two days ago, Qinghe County sent an invitation letter, inviting Fang Wei to bring people to attend the "Breeding Work Seminar".

Now that the second team has stabilized, Fang Wei plans to go out and relax.

It just so happened that Pan Lianhua had nothing to do recently, so he thought of taking her out for a walk.

What he did was not even considered abuse of power for personal gain. People originally wanted to invite the couple to go together.
