Chapter 244 Brick Factory Riot
In the village party secretary's office, Wang Xiangxiu brought chicken soup to Chen Baozhong. Since the relationship between the two was confirmed, the girl has not been idle. She gave Chen Baozhong delicious food every few days, for fear that Chen Baozhong would be exhausted when working hard.
"Girl, don't have to worry about this in the future. I can handle it casually." Chen Baozhong said happily.
Wang Xiangxiu said angrily: "That's not possible. How can you make every meal full of fried rice and noodles? You have to eat something with oil and water. Your body is the capital of revolution. What should you do if you are exhausted?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Baozhong smiled and said, "Have there any progress in mushroom matters recently?"
Wang Xiangxiu shook her head and said, "It's still the same as before. The markets in several towns are saturated, and there is no need to continue to expand. But I thought of another idea."
Chen Baozhong asked curiously: "Oh, let's hear it."
Wang Xiangxiu said: "I often go to Yangqiao Town Farmers' Market and have some understanding of the market conditions. In fact, besides mushrooms, vegetables are also very popular now, and the prices are not low, so there is a lot of profit margins here."
"Then do you want to grow vegetables?"
"Well, if you want to build a few acres of land into a vegetable garden, the price of vegetables is more expensive than that of rice. The important thing is that the growth cycle is much shorter. Rice can only be grown for one or two seasons a year at the same time, so vegetables are different."
"It is indeed as you said that the rice price is low and the cycle is long, which is much worse than the returns of vegetables."
Chen Baozhong lowered his head and thought. He was the village party secretary, so the first thing he thought of was naturally how to increase the per capita income in the village. If the villagers in Tieshanwan could change from growing rice to growing vegetables, the per capita income in the village would definitely increase greatly.
“I think it’s a good way to grow vegetables.”
"But there is no land at the moment, and I can't even plant it."
Chen Baozhong touched his nose and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll solve it. I'll go and search the village's field information to see if there is any idle land left. If there is, you can contract it down."
Wang Xiangxiu joked: "Aren't you afraid that others will say behind your back that you are using power for personal gain?"
Chen Baozhong said seriously: "This is a great thing that is beneficial to the whole village. If you can succeed here, you can let more people learn. If others want to say it, let him say it. I, Chen Baozhong, are standing upright and never fear these cold guns and hidden arrows."
After Chen Baozhong finished the meal, Wang Xiangxiu packed up the dishes and was about to leave with a basket. At this time, Wang Chuanxi, the militia captain of the village headquarters, hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.
"Chuanxi, what's going on with you in such an anxious look?"
"Brand Secretary, big, big, big, big things are not going well!"
Wang Chuanxi was so angry that he almost passed away after saying something.
Chen Baozhong's face tightened and asked, "Why is the big thing wrong? Don't be anxious, just talk slowly."
"The brick factory is in chaos! Huang Feilong led a group of villagers to grab things in the brick factory!" Wang Chuanxi said.
Chen Baozhong's forehead bulged with blue veins, and his palm suddenly slapped on the table, and he was furious and cursed: "Lawless, really lawless!" After cursing, he turned around and shouted at Wang Chuanxi, "What are you, the militia captain, doing in front of you? Why don't you organize people and lock that group of people!"
"Yes, I'll organize the manpower now!" Wang Chuanxi was so scared that his heart trembled. It was the first time he saw Chen Baozhong so angry that he immediately grabbed the door.
Wang Xiangxiu looked at Chen Baozhong and asked, "Brother, what should I do now? Is there any place I can help?"
"Go and call your dad and your two brothers, and then notify the Li family and ask everyone to hurry to the brick factory and remember to bring the guys." Chen Baozhong said anxiously: "I'll go find Huang Yunlong now!"
As soon as he walked to the door, he met Huang Yunlong and rushed over. Chen Baozhong was angry and asked: "Huang Yunlong, your elder brother did a good thing! Tell me honestly, do you know this?"
"I really don't know..." Huang Yunlong spread his hands, and he didn't expect how low-key he was during this period. He was always doing things with his tails in his arms. How dare he encourage Huang Feilong to rob the brick factory? Isn't it okay to find trouble?
Chen Baozhong shook his hand and said angrily: "I'll talk about this later. Now I will go to the brick factory with me right now!"
On the way to the brick factory, Huang Yunlong was walking on thin ice. He had no idea that his elder brother would do this and was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath in a while.
Some time ago, under the auspices of Chen Baozhong, the village committee held a meeting on the removal of several rural factories in the village and decided to remove all the remaining fishing grounds, brick factories, quarries, and iron smelting plants in the village that did not meet the local conditions and were not profitable.
This was a big step for Chen Baozhong's reform. These factories that were too big to lose were like rotten meat attached to Tieshan Bay. At that time, in order to respond to the national call, they launched people's communes. Each village actively launched various projects, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not.
The most funny thing is that a small mountain village like Tieshanwan made a civilized steel mill. At that time, every household was taken to make steel.
Fortunately, in the late 1970s, this momentum came to an abrupt end, and the country was determined to resume production and develop its economy, but these remaining things became specific products of a historical period.
Until now, these things are obviously inappropriate. If Tieshanwan wants to exhibit, they must completely abandon these things.
The sawmill was just an attempt. After the attempt was successful, Chen Baozhong led the village cadres to discuss and unanimously agreed to the decision to remove the other small factories.
The two rushed to the brick factory and saw that there were crowds of people inside, and there were so many people. A group of villagers were pulling chariots, constantly rushing for bricks and moving them to the chariots.
Chen Baozhong had a dark face and said nothing. Huang Yunlong, who was beside him, looked at the center of the crowd. His eldest brother Huang Feilong was calling on everyone to compete for bricks, and his body was trembling with anger.
"Huang Feilong! What are you doing?" Huang Yunlong rushed to the cap angrily and roared at the elder brother in the middle of the crowd.
Huang Feilong is passionate and has done it. He still cares about you so much. Today, he deliberately instigated everyone to grab it, just to deliberately make things worse.
"Friends, the village has carried out reforms, so we have no jobs and we have no food to eat. What's wrong with moving a few bricks! Besides, this brick factory was originally a public one, but now it's time to move the bricks away. It's natural for us to move the bricks away!"
At this time, all the villagers in the brick factory were rushing to move bricks. Everyone heard that the brick factory was going to be removed, so they all thought of dragging away the red bricks in the brick factory as soon as possible. It would be better to get them home to build a chicken coop and repair a pigpen.
"What are you doing?" Huang Yunlong grabbed a villager who was pulling a cart and sternly scolded him.
"Captain Huang, everyone else is moving, why are you holding me back?" The villager was dissatisfied.
Huang Yunlong said angrily: "There are ones that count. No one here can run away today!"
The villager smiled and nodded and apologized. However, he suddenly picked up a brick, slapped Huang Yunlong's head with a slap, and cursed: "Go to you!"
