Chapter 144 Captain Luo Was Plotted
A brigade has two captains, one captain and one captain. The positions of captain and deputy captain are generally rotated every one or two years and are not fixed. There is also a squad leader below. The squad leader is actually the person in charge of the village below. In the brigade, the captain and deputy captain basically lead the people in the town to arrange work, and also take care of the production supervision of the team.
Therefore, people with the surname Luo in the town basically belong to the same brigade, but a brigade does not refer to dozens or hundreds of households with the surname Luo. And there is not only one brigade in a town. If the town has more villages and more fields, there will be more brigade.
The brigade that the Luo family belongs to is, to be precise, the third brigade. One brigade manages the development of several villages. This mainly depends on the labor force. Generally, the total labor force of a brigade is between 500 and 700. The labor force mentioned here does not refer to people. Otherwise, in some places, there would be so many people in a large village with about 100 households. The labor force here excludes the elderly and children under the age of a few.
Therefore, a brigade usually has four or five villages. Some villages have small populations, and there are also eight or nine villages in a brigade. Some villages basically have several squad leaders. Because the brigade is only responsible for counting the total number, but when distributing food, it is calculated according to the squad unit.
This means that although several villages may belong to the same brigade, the grain produced by your village will be divided equally according to the work points of your village, and other squads will belong to other squads. But one advantage is that when there is a bumper grain harvest, if a certain village has a bad harvest, they can borrow grain from the brigade to survive.
But now the overall harvest is not good, and there is no food to borrow from the brigade.
Luo Baotian, the captain of the third team, was here last time Luo Bing got married.
After Luo Baotian was called to Luo Cheng's house by Luo Bing, he started asking what was going on. Now that the grain is scarce, in order to successfully bring the villagers through to next spring's harvest, he organizes people to seize the time to plant a batch of cabbages and radishes every day. No matter how cold the weather is, nothing can be planted.
Luo Cheng told Captain Luo about poultry breeding, but Luo Cheng had no idea that a brigade actually managed so many people. Luo Cheng's initial idea was just to take care of people with this surname. He had heard from his father that there were one or two hundred people working in the brigade every day, so he calculated based on the amount of about two hundred people.
When Captain Luo said that there are 256 households in the entire brigade, if they want to breed, can they be supplied? Luo Cheng was confused. At first, he thought that a family must raise at least four or five chickens and ducks. Otherwise, there are often five or six people in a family, and it is impossible to raise a chicken and wait for the chicken to lay eggs to feed the family.
If you raise five or six chickens and ducks, not to mention they can lay eggs every day, even if you have an average of two or three eggs, if you accumulate more and bring them to the city to exchange for food, you can still provide the whole family with water.
Moreover, Luo Cheng did not ask everyone to raise chickens, ducks, and pigs. A pound of meat can be exchanged for a lot of whole grains. Other farms have settled matters with Luo Cheng. A chicken eats about 150 grams of food a day. One pound of rice bran mixed with soybean meal can feed three chickens.
The cost of feeding three chickens for a day will not exceed one cent, and an egg can be sold for five or six cents, not counting tickets. The same goes for raising pigs. If you raise them well, you can feed many people.
If others don't raise them, they don't have rice bran and soybean meal to feed them. Luo Cheng can buy soybean meal for a penny and rice bran for a few cents. Others can’t even buy it at double the price.
There are more than 260 households, which is too much. He has to buy about 1,500 chickens, which costs one to two thousand yuan. What he buys is not chickens, but chickens and ducks that lay eggs. .
And we have to get pigs, and they are not particularly small piglets. Each pig costs dozens of yuan. And it’s not just about raising as much as you want, you have to control the amount. A pig can get more than three kilograms of feed a day. If it’s bigger, you have to increase the amount.
Taking twenty pigs as an example, the average feed is four kilograms a day, which is 80 kilograms a day, and 2,400 kilograms a month. That’s one ton per month. Chickens and ducks are counted as two kilograms per household. First, based on the calculation of two hundred and fifty households, it is 500 kilograms per day and seven and a half tons per month.
It is equivalent to meeting the survival problem of a brigade, which requires at least nine tons of feed per month. As for the repair shop, the employees need to share some rice bran and soybean meal to get some benefits. The auto repair shop itself also engages in breeding, which requires several tons a month.
Based on your calculations, in less than two years of breeding, all the price of a car will be used up. If the cube car passes the road test and starts mass production, we plan to build a factory and conduct internal breeding by then. If you don't have enough food to feed, you'll have to make a fool of yourself.
Luo Cheng pondered for a long time, and he definitely couldn't get five or six chickens for each of the two hundred and sixty households. It feels a bit one-size-fits-all, and the real difficulties now are actually those with elderly people and children at home. This should lower the standard for those without elderly people and children. Ordinary households should have three chickens per family, and those with elderly people and children should have one plus one, so that they can feel that they can control it.
When Luo Cheng expressed his idea, Luo Baotian was really happy. As long as he followed Luo Cheng's idea, he could guarantee that no one in the third brigade would starve to death this year.
But as a brigade captain, he couldn't handle this matter. He had to report it to the commune. He had to go immediately. If he got approval earlier, there would be no old people 'running away' from the villages under the brigade's jurisdiction.
This is definitely a great thing that benefits farmers. The Luo family also feels proud. His father Luo Wen can imagine that from now on, all the people in the eight villages will be grateful to the Luo family. This is a great virtue.
Although Luo Baotian was the captain of the brigade, he did not own a bicycle and had to run to the commune. Luo Cheng asked Luo Bing to go to the kitchen and kill the rabbit quickly, and wait for the news from Captain Luo to eat the meat together.
This time, it was directly until lunch time that Luo Baotian came back with a happy face. The above agreed, but thinking about it, this is a good thing, so there is no reason to disagree.
Then let’s have dinner together and talk about the details. How to get the chickens and ducks back? There are also rice bran and soybean meal that we have to bring back from the city.
Luo Baotian said that there is a tractor in the commune. The autumn harvest is over and it is no longer needed. He should be able to borrow it and pull it, and make more trips at most. However, during the discussion, Luo Baotian asked Luo Cheng whether the amount could be larger. There was actually some money in the commune, so he could get more to take care of other brigades.
Luo Cheng shook his head, and after thinking about it, he confessed to Captain Luo. Just this kind of breeding can only be carried out by the brigade for more than a year at most. The soybean meal and rice bran are exchanged for the production of cars. You can have as much money as you want. Why did you just restrict the number of people who don’t have elderly people or children at home?
Luo Baotian nodded, that's right, you can have as much of this thing as you want, how is it possible.
Longyang Town, commune.
"Feng Zhenchang, if you really do this, then Luo Baotian may not be willing to do it, and Luo Cheng is his nephew."
"Then I will watch the old people in the town walk out one by one. I have no choice but to do it. If you want to blame me then, let Luo Baotian blame me. But you all should be careful and don't let the news leak out. Wait for that Luo Baotian The chickens, ducks, pigs and feed that Cheng said have been brought to the town, and then control him. When Luo Baotian is helpless, he should understand the righteousness. "
Feng Zhenchang still knows about the third captain Luo Baotian. He is a person who thinks about farmers, but he is a bit protective of his shortcomings. Small peasantism is strong.
Let’s not talk about whether they plotted against him this time, let them do it like that. As the saying goes, there is no equal in suffering, let alone raising pigs. There will definitely be a special pig pen to raise them. But those who are assigned to raise chickens and ducks, do you think they can keep it? It is true that farmers are simple, but there is another saying that must be remembered: poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people.
Feng Zhenchang can guarantee that if the villagers in other brigades saw him, those who were allocated chickens and ducks would definitely be stolen. If you divide it evenly, the villagers will work together to protect it. Your village has it, but that village doesn't. Those villagers are anxious, and they don't care whether they belong to the same brigade. Others in the brigade will still grab it.
And when that time comes, Luo Baotian will definitely gather people and beat anyone he catches. In many places, small teams fight with each other over trivial matters, leading a whole village to fight. It's not like there have been disputes between the brigade and the brigade.
So Feng Zhenchang's idea is very simple. When the chickens, ducks, pigs and feed arrive, he will take over directly and forcefully. Then each brigade arranged for its own team to build a chicken coop for the elderly and children to feed. Just like Luo Cheng's idea, take care of the elderly and children who have no labor force.
Those who don’t have children or elderly people at home will be fine if they are hungry. They are all young people and can bear the burden a bit.
Luo Chengjia, before this matter was even mentioned, Luo Baotian was patting his chest. By then, Luo Bing would no longer have to work in the fields. He would just go to the village every day to collect eggs and run errands. He would be credited with full work points. Qin Ru, the daughter-in-law of the Luo family, asked her to take care of the pig pen. She didn't have to do anything. She could just watch during the day. Another person will be arranged to raise and feed the pigs.
He, Luo Baotian, had no other abilities. As a captain, he had the power to arrange the work of the people in the team. He got excited and suggested that Rowan also participate in the next captain election. If his Luo Wen family does something like this that benefits everyone, he Luo Baotian feels that he can abdicate and make way for others.
But there are two captains in a brigade. They are from the Luo family, so what's the matter? With such a huge contribution, if the villagers in the brigade disagree, they are all white-eyed wolves and will be punished by God.
You can't just write "village" or above, so "it's really a town".
