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

When Wang Guixiang walked out of the house with a tired look on her face, the moonlight shone on her body, casting a long shadow.

Fang Wei quickly stepped forward and said, "Dr. Wang, thank you for your hard work!"

“Alas, Mrs. Hu is lucky and in good health. If it were someone else, it might be troublesome.

Captain, we have several pregnant women in our second team who are about to give birth. I will mobilize them to go to the hospital to give birth later. Today was really too dangerous."

Wang Guixiang was exhausted and staggered even when walking.

Fang Wei quickly asked Deng Yuanen to send Dr. Wang home and they could talk about it later if anything happened.

Then he and Pan Lianhua went home to sleep.

After this incident spread, everyone, including Deng Yuanen's wife, changed their minds and insisted on going to the hospital to give birth.

Fang Wei asked Hao Aizhen to take the opportunity to promote the event again. Nowadays, everyone has a decent income and there is no problem in giving birth in the hospital.

If a family is really in difficulty, they can borrow money from the team.

However, through this incident, Wang Guixiang's prestige not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

Zheng Hu's wife had just given birth, and Fang Wei felt embarrassed to order her around all day, so he personally led a group of people to the construction site to help the team build the road.

After all, this road belongs to the second team, and they can't just stand by and watch.

Because it wasn't a high-grade highway, just an ordinary rural road, the project wasn't difficult. In an era without large machinery, strength lies in numbers, and with the voluntary help of the members, the project progressed rapidly.

Fang Wei stayed at the construction site for a while, and then Zhao Jinsheng and others took over.

He received a notice asking him to attend a regional meeting.

The debate over whether to implement brigade accounting or production team accounting has come to a temporary end.

Both sides agreed to analyze specific issues specifically, and many comrades proposed to use Xiatang Brigade of Yaoling Commune in Xinlin County as a pilot.

He is going to the regional meeting this time with Tang Ze and others, and he will make a speech at the meeting.

"Comrade Fang Wei, the pilot project of Xiatang Brigade will begin soon. The higher-ups want you to be the brigade leader and concurrently the production team leader of the second brigade."

The group arrived in Xiangling City, and Tang Ze took the opportunity to reveal an important piece of news to Fang Wei.

Fang Wei knew very well that the opinions brought back by the last inspection team had worked, and he could still maintain the basic foundation of the second team.

Leaders at all levels attached great importance to this pilot project. Fang Wei expressed his determination at the meeting and promised to do his best to do a good job so that everyone could have an intuitive understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the brigade's accounting.

He spoke cautiously and did not make any big promises.

After the speech, everyone applauded enthusiastically. Most people's confidence was actually strengthened. Only such a pilot project, without exaggeration or preconceived positions, is meaningful.

He returned to the county to continue the meeting, and when he returned to the village, the documents from his superiors had arrived.

"Third brother, the higher-ups have asked you to become the captain of the Xiatang Brigade. Starting next year, the brigade will implement brigade accounting. Alas, our second brigade's good times won't last long. Now we have another burden."

Zheng Hu was a man who sometimes spoke without restraint. Was it right to say such things? If he did, he would offend others.

Fang Wei glared at the other person, who immediately realized what he was doing and quickly shut up.

“Hu Zi, even if the brigade accounting system is implemented, the principle of more work, more pay will not be abandoned, but will be strengthened.

I'll recommend to the higher-ups that you be appointed deputy captain of the Xiatang Brigade. Think twice before you act, and especially be careful with your mouth."

Afterwards, Fang Wei revealed another piece of news to Zheng Hu.

This made him very happy, as he never thought that he could become a brigade cadre.

"Third brother, don't worry. I'll definitely pay attention from now on. However, Wei Guanghua is the brigade secretary and you are the brigade leader. Who will listen to whom from now on?"

"You just made a promise, and you're already talking nonsense again. Secretary Wei will be going to the commune soon. Do you understand?"

Fang Wei kicked Zheng Hu out, closed the door and began to think about his next plan.

the next day.

Secretary Wang from the commune sent 48 educated youth, which scared Fang Wei.

"Director Zheng said that you had promised it at the beginning, look..."

Now even Secretary Wang spoke cautiously in front of Fang Wei. The halo on the other party's head was too dazzling, and he couldn't afford to offend him at all.

Fang Wei immediately remembered this matter, but at that time it was said that if Team One and Team Two were merged, they would receive a new group of educated youth.

Now that this matter no longer exists, the other party still didn't let him go.

"Well, let them stay here for now. Huzi, take care of the transfer with Secretary Wang. I'll take them to the dormitory."

When the dormitories for the educated youth were built, there was a lot of redundancy. Currently, only one of the two rows of dormitories is in use, which is just enough to accommodate the newly arrived educated youth.

He thought that if these people exercised, they would be of great use.

For example, bamboo factories are facing a labor shortage. They have no shortage of orders, just staff. Another example is this year's mountain harvest, where some camellia seeds and wild chestnuts were wasted due to a shortage of staff, and most of the loquats were wasted.

After settling the new educated youth, Fang Wei called everyone to a meeting.

Zheng Hu and Zhao Jinsheng firmly supported accepting this group of educated youth. The team's labor shortage was becoming increasingly prominent, and with talented people, everything was possible. The other team cadres also agreed, and the matter was settled.

There are a small number of members who are not very willing to do so, as more people means dilution of rights and interests.

In fact, this is still a question of dividing the cake and making the cake. Fang Wei talked about the advantage of strength in numbers at the members' meeting. As long as the cake can be made bigger, everyone's income will not only not decrease, but will increase.

Fortunately, he had a high prestige and quickly reached a consensus within the team, so this matter would not cause any more trouble.

three days later.

Fang Wei went to the brigade headquarters to take up his post and officially became the captain of the Xiatang Brigade.

Wei Guanghua is still the brigade secretary, but his superiors have already talked to him and he will be transferred to the commune to partner with Zheng Xianfa by the beginning of next year at the latest.

Of course it was good to go to the commune. I suddenly became a state cadre and ate commercial grain.

Team leader Fang Wei has no official position and no salary, only a 12 yuan subsidy per month.

"Captain Fang, from now on, the production work of the brigade will be handed over to you. I will take care of the logistics and ideological work."

On the first day of taking office, Wei Guanghua made his attitude clear.

He was clear about his role, which was to pave the way for Fang Wei to fully control the Xiatang Brigade. He would be leaving for the commune in a few months, and only a fool would compete with Fang Wei for power.

"Secretary Wei, what you said is wrong. I am not familiar with the work of the brigade yet, and I still need your guidance."

Fang Wei lowered his attitude very low, and then the two of them smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

in the afternoon.

The captains of all 12 production teams in the brigade came to the brigade for a meeting. Taking back the accounting rights is a very complicated task, and preparations need to be made from now on, and it will be officially implemented on January next year.

Fang Wei asked everyone to compile a statistical account of each production team's assets and submit a report within a month. Everyone agreed, showing a strong willingness to cooperate.

Originally, the promotion of this matter was directly related to the various production teams, so these people all wanted to follow Fang Wei voluntarily.

This attitude is a very good thing for Fang Wei, as it can reduce internal friction and sort out various tasks as soon as possible.

"The focus of our work will be on the autumn harvest. I will take some time to visit the various production teams soon. If there are any difficulties or problems, we can discuss them individually then."

Fang Wei announced the adjournment of the meeting, and the captains left one after another.

After the accounting rights were returned to the brigade, each production team still existed, but the accounting was carried out uniformly by the brigade, and the production arrangement and distribution rights were also in the hands of the brigade.

Therefore, there will be no major changes in the structure of each production team.

"Captain Fang, you're also the production team leader of Team 2. If it were me, we should just move the brigade headquarters to Team 2. It would be more convenient for you and for everyone else."

Wei Guanghua was leaving anyway, so he didn't mind selling his services well.

The brigade headquarters can be built anywhere, depending on the ideas of the branch secretary or brigade leader.

"That's a good idea. Let's wait until next year."

Fang Wei understood that haste makes waste. He had just taken office and it was not appropriate for him to make any big moves.

But he had already planned it out: let Zheng Hu be his deputy, Zhao Jinsheng be the deputy captain of the second team, and Fang Ping be the director of public security of the second team.

The brigade's women's director was in poor health and basically unable to perform her duties, so he planned to let Hao Aizhen serve as the brigade's women's director.

Then he said hello to Wei Guanghua and went to the commune to find Zheng Xianfa.

He discussed his ideas with the other party, and Zheng Xianfa expressed his support.

Fang Wei had just arrived at the brigade. If he wanted to carry out his work smoothly, he had to hire obedient people, otherwise it would take a long time just to get them to work together.

The Xiatang Brigade is now a "test field" that has attracted attention from all parties. If it goes wrong, not only Fang Wei will suffer the consequences, but Zheng Xianfa himself will also suffer.

So his attitude is to provide all-round support and he will follow your instructions in everything, but you must achieve results.

"Little scholar, it's getting late. Come home with me for dinner."

"No, I have a lot of things to do at home. Next time, next time for sure."

Fang Wei declined Zheng Xianfa's invitation and rode her bike back home.

Pan Lianhua and Ajie were still waiting for him to eat, but Xiaobao was full and playing in the house.

"Are you back? Come and eat."

Pan Lianhua didn't ask Fang Wei why he came back so late, and quickly got up to heat up the food.

While eating, he took the initiative to talk about what happened today.

"It's better to be busy. You don't have to worry about things at home. Just focus on your work."

Pan Lianhua was quite understanding. How could a man stay at home all day? If he had the ability, he could make a career outside. In short, she would not hold him back.

Fang Wei thought that Wei Guanghua's suggestion was actually very good. He would look for an opportunity to move the brigade headquarters to the second team.

It's not for convenience, but mainly because the subsequent hybrid rice research cannot do without him, so we don't have to waste time on the road.

Time flies.

The Mid-Autumn Festival came in a blink of an eye, and the second team began to distribute pork and ducks, and also distributed the eggs for the past two months.

The team slaughtered a total of 36 pigs, 12 of which were distributed to Team 24, and the remaining were distributed to other production teams. Of course, the pigs distributed to other production teams were calculated based on the supply price, and they were paid in cash, not on credit.

[Produces piglets, points +11628]

[Produces Mallard, points +1520]

[Produce eggs, points +10000]

[Produce duck eggs, points +8000]

Total points: 1376112.

There are 227 pigs left in the pig farm and 1 ducks left in poultry house No. 2620.

Except for the eggs that were distributed, the remaining eggs were sold, and a total income of 11200 yuan was earned.

We have started to gradually collect the ducks, so we will no longer replenish the duck population.

But after a while, 1000 chickens will be sold, and the chicks will be replenished in time, and the poultry house will always maintain a stock of 3000 chickens.

On average, each person in the second team received 10 kilograms of pork and 1 mallard.

Chicken eggs and duck eggs are distributed monthly, ensuring that the family will have enough to eat regardless of whether it is a festival or not.

Wu Maosheng and others nominally received less, but with the hidden subsidies, they actually exceeded the average. The first batch of educated youth, Jiang Xia, Chu Linlin and others, are now mostly getting the average.

The new educated youth received no such treatment. They were given a symbolic 2 jin (approximately 4 grams) of pork each, and a duck for four people for the festival. Chicken and duck eggs were not available this month, but starting next month, they would be supplied at a quarter of the average supply.

Their rations were borrowed from the team, with each person being allowed to borrow a maximum of 25 kilograms of rations per month.

Jiang Xia and her friends had gone through the same thing in the beginning, so no one said much. But as long as they are willing to work hard in the second team, their living conditions will definitely get better over time.

The number of educated youth in the team suddenly increased to 80. Fang Wei asked Jiang Xia to be the leader of the educated youth group and Yu Hao to be the deputy leader, responsible for the daily management of the educated youth.

After the holiday.

The commune issued a document to move the Xiatang Brigade's headquarters to the Second Brigade and approved them to rebuild the headquarters.

Zheng Hu officially took office as deputy captain of the Xiatang Brigade, with Hao Aizhen as the brigade's women's director. Zhao Jinsheng replaced Zheng Hu as deputy captain of the second team, and Tie Yanhong, who had recently given birth, became the second team's women's captain.

The adjustment work lasted for half a month and was finally completed.

The new brigade headquarters was built on a slope not far from the bamboo factory. This location is also not far from the first team. Key point is that it is next to the highway under construction, so transportation is very convenient.

The project has not yet been completed, and Fang Wei often stays in the second team's conference room to work.

"Huzi, next we need to go to each production team to get a feel for the situation. We can't just wait for them to report their financial situation. Only when we have a thorough understanding of the situation can we formulate a production plan for next year."

First, the organizational structure was straightened out, and then Fang Wei and Zheng Hu began field research.

Starting with Team 11, the two of them visited the other 11 production teams under the brigade (except Team ). The conditions of each production team were similar, and compared with the production teams in other communes, these teams were relatively well-off.

In fact, these 11 production teams were also carrying out breeding work, but the second team produced standardized rice seeds, while they produced second-grade rice seeds.

The current situation is that the demand for second-grade rice seeds is huge and the supply is insufficient to meet the demand, so these production teams are living a good life.

At the same time, these production teams all share a common problem: a reluctance to step outside their comfort zones. Sideline businesses are all underdeveloped, with neither mid- to long-term planning nor short-term action. (End of this chapter)
