Chapter 1308 Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality
. In the summer, more than a dozen families moved in. After learning about the situation here, I envied the uniform brick houses in the village and decisively built the houses on credit. , and then go to work to earn money to pay off the debt.
Wang Yue didn't care much about this. The house was still there after the person left. Now he had a small brick and tile factory and a construction team in his hands. He felt that he couldn't just wait around, so he found the person in charge of Diaozhuang. Zhang Shucheng.
Zhang Shucheng is still very grateful to Wang Yue, a capable person in Yongquan Village, because there are several people running away from other Diaozhuang villages, but this person from Jintan Village, where Wang Yue is located, has been staying there for more than half a year. Having built a house made it much easier for him to attract people.
He quickly and politely let Wang Yue enter his office, poured Wang Yue a glass of water, and asked happily, "Wang Yue, what do you want from me?"
Wang Yue did not beat around the bush, but said seriously, "It's like this. The people who work in my brick and tile factory in the village are all idle now. I think we can plan the houses in advance and change them into the same houses uniformly, so that the new hoisting households can be accommodated. When you come here, you will have a house to live in."
When Zhang Shucheng heard what Wang Yue said, he asked hesitantly, "But what if some people don't want to live in the brick house you built?"
Wang Yue was waiting for Zhang Shucheng's words. , he quickly smiled and said, "That's what I think. Please grant me a large piece of land. Of course, the money will be credited first. I will build a unified house. If they are willing to live in it, they can move in directly." , you just need to work and repay the money in the future, and I won’t force you to do so. You can also tell the new dealers that I don’t charge interest, but after they make money, they must repay part of the money every month. Need a guarantee."
After hearing what Wang Yue said, Zhang Shucheng thought this was a good thing. Those who lived in the mountains would have houses to live in when they came, which would make it more convenient to build a village.
So, he agreed without thinking and asked Wang Yue to start construction directly in Jintan Village, because the next batch of hoisting people would be back soon.
Of course, Wang Yue did not hesitate. After returning, he began to make arrangements to build a house. He also told the people in his brick kiln and construction team that every time he collected money, he would pay them wages.
Everyone felt that there was nothing better than staying at home and still getting money, so they followed Wang Yue.
After all, Wang Yue's reputation has been quite good in the past six months or so. He has given them money in a timely manner, and they can also take care of their own land in their spare time. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, Wang Yue also made plans to connect the three-meter-deep earth pits where a dozen families lived and dug them into a ditch. Then he connected the pits he dug when burning bricks and collecting earth. Gradually, a long ditch stretching for more than ten miles was formed. This long ditch will be used to divert water in the future.
...
Wang Yue was busy working to make money. Shui Hua also gave Wang Yue a child. His parents also moved here. Because they opened separate accounts, they were in the homestead. Although the house was opposite, they did not live together. .
Because of this, Wang Yue's family has twelve acres of land, but so far it is still wasteland, full of sand, soil and gravel, making it impossible to cultivate it.
In addition, he has been taking the villagers with him for such a long time. In fact, all the land in the entire village has not been used yet.
After being so busy for more than a year, Wang Yue had money in his hands and bought some equipment to facilitate building a house, and also bought a few tractors.
The tractor can not only transport bricks and tiles to sell for money, but also send bricks and tiles from the village to further places, and it can also start combing the land.
After all, after allocating so much land, he couldn't just sit idle. He felt that even planting grass and raising cattle would be better than just sitting idle.
Speaking of raising cattle, it reminded him of the pasture he had run at his home in the binary world, and it seemed like he could open one here. Anyway, he just wanted to be idle all his life, living on the hot bed with his wife and children.
With the tractor, when there was no need to build a house for the time being, Wang Yue asked everyone to drive the tractor and clean up each family's land so that they could plant crops next year.
After hearing Wang Yue's instructions, the laborers who worked with him were very happy. After all, farmers are always uneasy even if they can still live after leaving the land.
There was also a happy event during this period. Because the houses on Wang Yue's side were well built, Zhang Shucheng asked those households in advance and allocated all the households who were willing to spend money to buy houses to Wang Yue's side.
The population of the village has increased dramatically, and the power supply requirement for 80 households has been met. The village has also been supplied with electricity, so that there is always light in Jintan Village at night.
After getting electricity, Wang Yue was not idle. He immediately opened some other factories. As long as they were needed to build houses, he opened every one, including a steel factory.
Because the factory was not big, and the workers were all villagers in the village, Wang Yue went to teach for a few days, and everyone was able to operate it. However, as the business increased, more tractors were needed, so he bought a few more tractors.
But when the construction team didn't need to build houses, Wang Yue found another job for them, which was to dig the other end of the ditch to the embankment of the Yellow River.
As for those bored women and old people, they went to plant trees on the beach next door without Wang Yue's instructions at all.
Because everyone knows very well that if you want to completely change the environment here, you must have enough trees to block the wind.
...
The time soon came to the spring of 1993. Everyone finally cleared the land and prepared to plant spring wheat. However, they faced one problem, that is, irrigation. When something like this happened, the villagers immediately found Wang Yue and asked him to find a solution. Anyway, there was nothing that Wang Yue couldn't solve.
Wang Yue had seen this a long time ago, so he ordered more than a dozen tractors to be driven to the Yellow River. After installing water pumps, they connected the water pipes and started pumping water. After pumping out the water, they poured it into the ditches that had been dug long ago.
This ditch leads to Jintan Village. As long as this big ditch is filled, it is easy to water the land.
The villagers who were a little anxious at first admired Wang Yue even more when they saw that Wang Yue had been prepared. Every household hurriedly dug ditches on their own fields while the water was still shallow.
After a few days of busy farming, wheat was planted in the fields. Wang Yue asked the women in the village to pay attention to the depth of the water in the ditch while washing clothes. If the depth was not enough, use a tractor to continue pumping water. .
Seeing that life in Jintan Village is getting better and better, the new lifting households all want to live in Jintan Village. Of course, Zhang Shucheng cannot agree. He can only move the settlements in nearby villages as close as possible to Jintan Village. Take advantage of some of the benefits of Jintan Village.
The special situation of Jintan Village has caused great dissatisfaction among those Diaozhuang villages in Yuquanying that are too far away from Jintan Village.
After all, except for a few villages very close to Yuquanying Town, most of the multi-villages have less than 60 households and have not yet been charged.
Moreover, the Yuquanying Economic Development Zone to which Diaozhuang belongs is not part of Qingtongxia City. They need money for watering. Two buckets of water cost 15 cents. Watering one acre of land costs at least 80 yuan. You must know that this is 1993. It's quite a sum of money for each family to pay six acres of land.
When Diaozhuang came to the Yellow River, it was said that water from the Yellow River would be used for watering. But it was different after arriving. There was no infrastructure. Yuquanying's own water pumping station was not developed at all, and the common people could only buy it at high prices. For water use.
There are many such problems, which make villagers in other villages envious and jealous. They feel that they all belong to Diaozhuang and that Jintan Village cannot live a good life. They are still struggling on the line of difficulties, which is really too much.
As the person in charge of Diaozhuang, Zhang Shucheng hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to find Wang Yue and asked Wang Yue to take care of other Diaozhuang villages.
Of course, Wang Yue had no objection to this, but he still proposed planning the land and building houses.
Because the example of Jintan Village was there, Zhang Shucheng asked Wang Yue to go ahead and give it his full support. He was ready to hand over the entire Diaozhuang Village of Yuquanying Economic Development Zone to Wang Yue for construction.
It was rare to meet a good official who was willing to do things for the people. Wang Yue did not hesitate and immediately expanded his construction team, which could build more than a dozen houses at the same time. Even several small factories were expanded, and he began to hurry up. At that time, construction of a house began in Diaozhuang Village in Yuquanying Development Zone, and the soil used to build the house was just enough to dig a trench.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year later, another group of people from Diaozhuang came over. Because the living conditions were better, they showed the photos here to the people. The key is that Ma Defu also took photos of Jintan Village. Those People from the poor areas of Diaozhuang came here without even thinking.
After they arrived, they found that although it was not as beautiful as the one in Jintan Village, the houses were exactly the same, so they had no complaints. They quickly settled in and prepared to go out to find jobs and earn money to pay off the rent.
When Wang Yue was building houses in various villages, he naturally dug ditches that were almost connected to Jintan Village.
However, the newly moved villagers all know what the rivers and ditches are used for, and some of them expand the ditches on their own initiative when they have nothing to do.
After the village chiefs of these villages took in the new villagers, they took the initiative to contact Wang Yue to discuss opening up wasteland for planting and watering.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Yue not to accept the money. He knew that if he did not accept the payment, he would be in big trouble. As long as he opened this hole, it would become a matter of course and it would be difficult to collect the money in the future.
Therefore, a relatively fair price was offered, and the wasteland in these villages was also reserved, and even the irrigation ditches were repaired.
The village chiefs agreed to Wang Yue's suggestion without much thought. As long as the villagers can plant crops on the ground, the roots of the people will be rooted. Then they can let the villagers go out to work, and the money to build the houses will be repaid quickly. On, the days will get better and better.
It's just that sometimes I think it's beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. Farmers' wages are always delayed, and those who go out to work often don't get their wages.
Since something like this happened, the village chief immediately went to Zhang Shucheng, told them about the situation here, and asked Zhang Shucheng to find a solution for them.
What can Zhang Shucheng do? He is a soldier who has been transferred from the army. It will be no problem to ask him to obey orders. Asking him to find a way is not to rush the duck to the shelf.
Just when he was worried, he immediately thought of Wang Yue. He asked the village chiefs to go back first, and he came to Jintan Village to find Wang Yue.
