Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

As the loan was approved, the timeline came to mid-March.

Many things that were planned last year should now be prepared.

"Building the road is a good thing that concerns all the villagers, so naturally we have to mobilize all the villagers to work together." Accountant Su said.

"Yes, our village hasn't provided labor services for several years. This time we can use up all the labor services accumulated over the years." Tian Xiaobing also agreed.

The labor here is not the labor export or labor dispatch in later generations.

It is a kind of agricultural tax. In addition to paying public grain, unified planning and levies for farming, farmers also have to pay another tax, which is labor.

It means that ordinary people participate in voluntary labor organized by the village, township, county and city.

There are a certain number of days of compulsory labor every year. If you don’t want to participate, you can use money to offset the compulsory labor.

In the past few years, Yushu Village directly paid money to offset the compulsory labor organized by counties, cities and towns.

The money was not paid by the common people, but was directly paid from the village’s public funds.

That is why Accountant Su and Tian Xiaobing said that the village has accumulated a lot of voluntary labor quotas.

“Everyone, have you overlooked one thing? Do you think the villagers will be willing to provide labor?

One labor service costs one dollar and fifty cents.

The villagers can easily earn three or four bucks a day.

At that time, after we announce the labor news,

Do you think everyone will use money to pay for their labor?

By then, we will have been the bad guys in vain.

It's a thankless job." Liu Hongjun knocked on the table and said.

Although the term of office has not yet changed, Secretary Dong is no longer in charge of affairs and has handed over matters such as presiding over meetings to Liu Hongjun.

So, today's meeting is chaired by Liu Hongjun.

Liu Hongjun's hosting style is different from Secretary Dong's.

Secretary Dong is used to waiting for everyone to express their opinions before making the final summary.

Liu Hongjun will not do that. He is more outspoken and will directly refute any opinions he is dissatisfied with.

“The Red Army is right, our intention in building roads and sewers is to benefit all villagers.

Just as the Red Army said, we are working hard but getting no thanks. We spend money and still get blamed.

After all, the money the villagers earn from labor service is not enough to build the road." The women's director then spoke up.

“That’s right, we are not short of money. In the past few years, we paid for the villagers to offset the labor costs.

It doesn't matter this time." Qian Shengli also agreed with a smile.

"Okay! That's indeed the case!" Accountant Su glanced at Secretary Dong, and seeing that he did not express any opinion, he nodded in agreement.

"It's settled then. The villagers don't need to provide labor this time.

Let's hand it over directly to the city's construction team.

They have good technology and experience, and the quality of the roads they build is relatively reliable," Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

"Hongjun, wouldn't it be too expensive to hire a construction team from the city?"

"We also have a construction team in the county. If we bypass the county and go directly to the city's construction team, will the county have any objections?"

“Everyone, don’t worry about the price.

Because this time, not only will the village be building roads, but our breeding farm will also be building roads.

We will build a road from our village all the way to Yezhu Ridge, and then a lot of mountain roads will be built in Yezhu Ridge, Panchang Mountain, Woniu Valley and Caodizi.

This is a huge project.

In comparison, the roads and sewers in our village are just small projects.

When the time comes, let them fix it.

As for the price, you can rest assured that I have found a more reliable relationship.

Not only will the quality and quantity be guaranteed, but the price will also be very cheap." Liu Hongjun explained to everyone with a smile.

"Well, if that's the case, then I have no objection."

"I agree!"

"agree!"

"Red Army, how long is the road you built from the Wild Boar Ridge in our village to the meadow? How much does it cost?" Accountant Su asked curiously.

“Haha, I won’t tell you the exact amount. I’ll ask the people from the architectural design institute to come over and do a survey and make a budget.

By the way, let them make some plans for our Yushutun.

In our Yushu Village, there are houses on the east and west sides, which looks a bit messy but also beautiful.

Let the experts from the Architectural Design Institute give us a careful plan and see how to make it look good.

Our next step is to slowly build according to the experts’ plan.” Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

Liu Hongjun really had no idea how much it cost. Although prices for goods and labor were cheap in that era, it was estimated to be tens of millions.

Most of the 50 million yuan in Liu Hongjun's budget was spent on road construction.

After the discussion, Liu Hongjun was responsible for contacting the architectural design institute and the construction team.

The next day, we drove to Snow City.

This time he did not go through Jian Hongjie, but went directly to the Xuecheng Architectural Design Institute.

After finding Dean Huang, he expressed his thoughts.

"President Huang, this is a simple diagram I drew. I need our design institute's help to improve it." Liu Hongjun placed the simple diagram he drew in front of President Huang.

That’s right, Liu Hongjun still drew the simple blueprint himself and then asked the Architectural Design Institute to improve it.

"Xiao Liu, thank you for finding another job for our architectural design institute.

I'll call Chief Engineer Gao over right away, and you can discuss it face to face." Dean Huang took a look at Liu Hongjun's sketch and said with a smile.

"Excuse me, Dean Huang!" Liu Hongjun said with a fist salute.

"No trouble, no trouble!" Dean Huang said politely, then turned and left the office.

Soon, Dean Huang brought Chief Engineer Gao into the office.

"Hello, Chief Engineer Gao!" Liu Hongjun quickly stood up and greeted him.

This is respect for technicians.

"Xiao Liu is here!" Chief Engineer Gao was also very polite to Liu Hongjun.

He took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Hongjun.

"Let me see the simple diagram you drew." After shaking hands, Chief Engineer Gao got straight to business.

"Chief Engineer Gao, I recently established a breeding cooperative and contracted 300,000 mu of forest.

I need to build a road from Yushutun to my farm.

Some winding mountain roads will also be built in the farm to connect these mountains.

I also need to build a high wall to enclose the forest I contracted.

In addition, I also want to build a gate here, a more imposing one.

A two-story building was built near the gate as a management building.

A two-story building will also be built here to serve as the office space for the cooperative unit, the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

And here, here... build some wooden houses." Liu Hongjun patiently pointed to the schematic diagram and explained his ideas to Chief Engineer Gao.

“Well, this is a big project.

According to what you said, 300,000 mu of forest would cost tens of millions. "Chief Engineer Gao sighed.

In the late 1980s, projects worth tens of millions were definitely considered large projects.

Even the provincial design institutes would be tempted and want to compete for such projects.
