Chapter 400: Opening a supply and marketing cooperative
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Chuan was surprised yet moved upon hearing Xiao Liâs thoughts, and said, âAs long as our intentions are good and aimed at helping the villagers, thereâs nothing to apologize for. I didnât expect you to endure so much, even falling seriously ill, just to earn some money to help the villagers. Xiao Li, your spirit is something we should all learn from.â
Having a good idea is one thing, but now they faced a bigger problem: a shortage of labour.
They wanted to start a fish pond and a supply and marketing cooperative, but they needed helpers for these endeavors. With only a few people available, they were stretched thin. What should they do?
Jiang Chuan pondered and suggested, âHow about this, letâs go to the commune and seek help from Captain Tian. Sheâs full of ideas and will surely find a solution for us.â
The three agreed and went to the commune to find Tian Zao.
Tian Zao was reviewing the personnel registration list and grain production of Pushan Village. In a couple of days, the corn would be ripe for harvesting, and she needed to allocate people for the task.
This yearâs corn had grown exceptionally well, and she had a feeling it would far exceed their expectations. She estimated about a ton of yield from the one thousand kilos of corn seeds planted. After setting aside seeds for the next planting, there would still be plenty to distribute to the villagers. It seemed they wouldnât have to worry about food come spring.
After listening to their plans, Tian Zao agreed, âItâs great that youâre thinking of the villagers in addition to yourselves. However, if youâre short-staffed, I canât help much either. The commune is also understaffed at the moment. Youâll have to wait until after the corn harvest and then ask villagers for help.â
Jiang Chuan responded, âCaptain Tian, if we want to drive the villagersâ development, we canât expect them to help out for free. My idea is to have the commune issue a notice, hiring villagers to work at the fish pond and the supply and marketing cooperative. This would create job opportunities in our village and benefit the villagersâ development.â
This was a novel concept at the time as there were no hired workers, and everyone helped each other out of goodwill. So, when Jiang Chuan proposed this idea, the other three were surprised and couldnât help but praise him, âBrother Jiang, how come none of us thought of this? You always come up with unique and beneficial ideas for the villagers.â
Jiang Chuan simply smiled and waved his hand.
Tian Zao decisively said, âJiang Chuan, I think your idea is excellent. Iâll draft a notice immediately to recruit villagers. Once the hiring is settled, we can start gathering the grain.â
Jiang Chuan had another request for Tian Zao, âCaptain Tian, for this to succeed, we have the people and resources, but our land is limited.â fre enovelkiss.com
Tian Zao asked, âWhat do you suggest?â
Jiang Chuan replied, âThis year, heavy rains and a snowstorm have raised the water levels in the ditches, making it impossible to plant rice. My idea is to convert one ditch into a fish pond and transfer the water from other ditches to it. This way, we can achieve two goals at once: grow rice and raise fish.â
Tian Zao thought the idea was very feasible, âThen letâs do it your way! I remember thereâs a ditch near Xiao Wuâs house. Letâs allocate that ditch to him. Iâll also notify the villagers to help, hoping to get the fish pond up and running soon.â
After agreeing, the three left Tian Zaoâs office to discuss details in Jiang Chuanâs office. Jiang Chuan said to Xiao Wu, âWeâll need people to help divert the water for the ditch. We canât expect the villagers to work for free. They should be compensated. I know youâre short on funds initially,â Iâll cover the cost as an investment.
Xiao Wu nervously rubbed his hands, somewhat awkwardly saying, âBrother Jiang, I really thank you. I donât know how this fish pond would have started without you. In fact, you are the real owner of the fish pond; Iâm just managing it on your behalf.â đđđđđŹđđđˇđ¤đŤđđľ.đđ¤đ
Jiang Chuan said, âXiao Wu, donât think like that. I just came up with the plan. The hard and tedious work is all done by you. You are the one who deserves the credit.â
With Xiao Wuâs problem solved, it was time to address Xiao Liâs supply and marketing cooperative..
