Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 238 Statistics

After Tian Yun gave the instructions, Zhu Changzhi distributed the document.

When the communes heard the news, they were all confused and exclaimed that it was unbelievable. In the past, when the county allocated supplies, it was always free of charge. What was the meaning of this one-third subsidy now?

But it is true that they are short of oxen for agricultural production.

However, since the county had to do this, both the commune and the production team would have to bear part of the cost, and they hesitated again.

Many communes asked each other how many cows the other commune had reported, and finally felt relieved when they learned that no cows had been reported.

It seems that everyone is in the same situation.

After a week, no commune had submitted a list. Zhu Changzhi couldn't help but feel anxious and began to doubt whether Tian Yun's method was useless.

Inside the office of the director of the Xiaohe Town Commune, Gu Chenggui was deep in thought as he looked at the document sent down from the county. He had been studying this document for several days.

Within the jurisdiction of Xiaohe Town Commune, oxen are still scarce.

The commune had also tried to buy oxen everywhere, but there were no large livestock left for sale nowadays. All the ones that could be used were helping with work in the fields, and no production team would easily sell oxen.

Judging from the meaning of this document from the county, it is estimated that oxen will be distributed according to demand, but it may not be free of charge as before. Instead, each level will bear part of the cost.

"Accountant Zhang, come here!"

Zhang Da, the accountant of the public company, heard Director Gu Chenggui calling him and quickly dropped what he was doing and went over: "Director Gu, you're looking for me?"

"Look, you need to sort out the money in the account and see how much money we have left. Also, notify each production team and see how many oxen they are short of."

Zhang Da hesitated for a moment and asked, "Director, are you planning to sign up for the list?"

Gu Chenggui nodded and said, "Right now, the production brigades are extremely short of oxen. Now that we finally have an opportunity, why don't we report it?"

"Director, I can't blame us for this. Doesn't our commune and production brigade have to pay for it?"

Gu Chenggui glared at Zhang Da and said, "Do you think you're buying a cow just to get relief food? And you're giving it away for free? You're dreaming."

Zhang Da opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He went to call each production team to collect statistics as Gu Chenggui requested.

After a round of statistics, each production team may need a total of ten cows.

"Ten?" Hearing Zhang Da's number, Gu Chenggui smacked his lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Report it to the county government based on our actual situation."

"Director, I'm telling you, if we were to cover one-third of the cost of these ten cows, it would cost over two thousand yuan in total."

When he heard the figure of more than two thousand yuan, Gu Chenggui felt relieved.

The commune can still come up with this number.

Just when Zhu Changzhi thought that the commune had no response to this matter and he had to apologize to Tian Yun, Xiaohe Town Commune reported the data: ten cows!

Zhu Changzhi paused as he walked out of the office.

He had originally planned to find Tian Yun to explain this bleak situation, but now it seems that there is still room for maneuver.

So he decisively decided to wait and see if any other communes would report.

Sure enough, by the afternoon, communes began to re-report their data one after another.

These communes originally did not intend to pay attention, but when they heard that Xiaohe Town Commune actually reported ten cows, they could not resist the temptation.

According to several regulations and documents issued by the county on agricultural development this year, it is not difficult to see that the county has been gradually changing its approach to agricultural support. The kind of assistance that was previously provided by directly providing relief grain will rarely be seen in the future, and there may be more of this kind of incentive subsidies.

As a result, some communes reported three cows, some five cows, and in the end, a total of more than fifty cows were reported.

Zhu Changzhi secretly calculated in his mind that the number of cattle available for sale in Shanghe Village had exceeded the current number. At that time, it would probably be a first-come, first-served basis.

After collecting the data, Zhu Changzhi organized the data into a table and showed it to Tian Yun.

Seeing that the demand far exceeded expectations, Tian Yun was also happy. He instructed Zhu Changzhi to convey a spirit to all communes and production teams: as long as the production team wanted to buy cattle, all communes must support it unconditionally.

This will largely prevent the commune from shirking responsibility by making the excuse that it does not want to provide matching funds.

Gu Zhan went home and rested for about a week. It was finally time to remove the plaster. The plaster had been fixed on his arm for a month and it was so itchy that it was unbearable.

Liu Xiaoxi was a little worried, so she stopped him and said, "No, let's keep it fixed for a while."

Gu Zhan patted Liu Xiaoxi's hand with his free hand and said, "It's okay. I feel almost better now."

Finally, at Liu Xiaoxi's strong request, Gu Zhan went to the county hospital and had a brief examination by the doctor before deciding to remove the plaster and replace it with a simple fixation method of two bamboo boards wrapped with gauze.

Looking at his arm that finally saw the light of day again, Gu Zhan felt like he had lost several pounds.

During this period, he has written a preliminary plan for building a dairy farm, and later improved the layout of some related industrial chains.

Now all we need is an opportunity to report to Tian Yun and Zhu Changzhi.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up is about to blow, and Xia County must seize the opportunity in this wave of development and obtain valuable development opportunities.

Opportunities come and go, but they can also go away.

Just when Gu Zhan was at home thinking about what reason he should find to meet Zhu Changzhi and Tian Yun, Zhao Baogen came hurriedly and said that the County Agricultural Bureau called him.

Gu Zhan's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhao Baogen who was waiting for him outside the door, "Uncle Zhao, wait a moment," then he went into the main room, took out the manuscripts he had written before and put them in his arms.

"What are you doing dawdling, kid?"

"I got something, Uncle Zhao."

This kid has always had big ideas and thoughts of his own. Zhao Baogen didn't ask for details and drove Gu Zhan straight to the brigade headquarters.

Zhu Changzhi's resonant and powerful voice came from the other end of the line: "Xiao Gu, your cattle have now been sent to a place. Our Xia County production brigades have reported a total of over fifty cattle. Do you have time these days? Let's go to the county and discuss the details."

"Okay, no problem, Chief."

Zhao Baogen was standing next to the phone and heard everything Zhu Changzhi said clearly.
