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

Chapter 237 New Ideas

Seeing this, Zhu Changzhi hurried in to find Sun Yuan and the others.

The leading car led the following cars straight to the cattle farm.

As Sun Yuan and his team came to the open space of the cattle farm from the laboratory, the first leading car had already parked steadily in the open space in front of the cattle farm.

This is Jiang Liqun’s first visit to Shanghe Village.

Sun Yuan had talked about Shanghe Village many times before, which aroused his unique curiosity. Today he finally had the opportunity to see what it was like. As soon as he got off the car, he faintly smelled the smell of cow dung, and he guessed that he was now near a cattle farm.

In addition to being curious about Shanghe Village, he was even more curious about the young man named Gu Zhan mentioned by Sun Yuan.

As soon as Jiang Liqun got out of the car, Sun Yuan came to greet him: "Director, thank you for coming all the way here."

"Well, that's too polite, Mr. Sun." Jiang Liqun strode over and shook Sun Yuan's hand tightly.

After a brief greeting, Sun Yuan hurriedly introduced the entire team to Jiang Liqun: "Director, these are the members of our team. Guo Zhida is the leader of our 'Anhe No. 1' project team and the main person in charge of the bovine embryo splitting technology at our Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This is Comrade Gu Zhan, whom I have mentioned to you many times. He is mainly responsible for the theoretical guidance of our bovine embryo splitting. And this is Li Chuanzhong, who is in charge of the technical operations of the project."

Li Chuanzhong felt a little nervous. His identity was sensitive and he didn't know whether the other party would mind.

Finally, I felt relieved when I saw Jiang Liqun behaved as usual.

"Comrades, you have worked hard."

Jiang Liqun's words were sincere. A technical challenge that hadn't been overcome nationwide was actually achieved in a small, unknown village. One can only imagine the efforts these people made to overcome the difficulties.

Guo Zhida said with red eyes: "It's not hard, this is what we deserve." After experiencing so many difficulties and hardships, it is not easy to get this affirmation.

Gu Zhan, on the other hand, remained very calm.

Those who do scientific research, especially in the field of agriculture, are rooted in the earth and deal with crops, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. As long as there is a good result, all the hard work is worth it.

Jiang Liqun secretly observed the young man in front of him. Seeing that he was very calm, he admired him even more.

Staff members from various positions in the project team reported the details of the experiment to Jiang Liqun, especially at some key points.

Jiang Liqun listened with great interest.

When asked about the application prospects of the technology, Gu Zhan said confidently: "This technology is designed to increase the breeding speed of our large livestock. For now, our goal is to apply it to the 'Anhe No. 1' cattle promotion project in Shanghe Village. However, in the future, we will use it in the breeding of dairy cows and beef cattle. This will fundamentally alleviate our meat shortages, fresh milk and dairy product shortages."

Gu Zhan's words were so bold that Jiang Liqun's heart skipped a beat. But then he thought, it's normal for young people to have some unrealistic ideas, as long as his technology can be truly implemented.

Jiang Liqun asked again, "I heard from Old Sun that it was you who advocated for the establishment of the cattle farm in your production brigade. Is it doing well now?"

Seeing that Jiang Liqun had changed the subject, Gu Zhan could roughly guess what he was thinking and simply gave a brief report on the cattle farm's situation. "Our cattle farm is still relatively small, and we plan to continue expanding it this year."

Upon hearing that Shanghe Village was planning to expand its cattle farm, Jiang Liqun curiously asked, "Can you manage to build such a large cattle farm?"

"We can do it. As long as the country and the people need it, we can do it."

In fact, what Gu Zhan wanted to say was that as long as the market needs it, it will definitely be done. However, considering that we are still in a planned economy, saying that the market needs it is too sensitive, so he just changed it to a conservative statement.

"Well, your cattle farm is indeed a timely relief. In our current situation, oxen are still the main productive force."

Gu Zhan smiled but said nothing. Sun Yuan guessed Gu Zhan's thoughts correctly. This kid might have other ideas.

Jiang Liqun's arrival gave the staff of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences great confidence. They were finally no longer working in obscurity, and someone finally saw the results of their hard work.

With Jiang Liqun's departure, another new idea emerged in Gu Zhan's mind. Given the geographical conditions of Shanghe Village, it is indeed a good breeding base. However, it is a waste of resources to only breed and deliver yellow cattle. It would be better to raise dairy cows on the basis of raising yellow cattle.

By the time the dairy farm was established, it was estimated that the news of reform and opening up would have arrived.

At that time, when the market economy recovers, the government can take the lead in establishing a state-owned enterprise to specialize in operating the subordinate industries. Then these state-owned enterprises will be able to supply the local market with a steady supply of fresh beef, milk and even dairy products.

Once local enterprises are nurtured and established, they will play a huge role in driving industrial development and employment. By that time, there will be no need to worry about the people of this land not becoming rich.

Once this idea took shape, Gu Zhan could no longer sit still.

He hurried back home, took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and wrote down some of his initial ideas one by one, waiting to improve them in the next few days when he had free time.

When I go to find Tian Yun and Zhu Changzhi again, I wonder if these two leaders will be scared by my ideas?

When Tian Yun returned to the county, he assigned Zhu Changzhi a task, which was to count the current vacancies in oxen in the county.

Zhu Changzhi had already counted this data as early as last month. If it weren't for the mechanized plow invented by Gu Zhan, I'm afraid that many production teams would have delayed spring plowing this year.

But fortunately, they were well prepared.

"Secretary, we now have 128 production brigades in the county. Based on the requirement of two oxen per production brigade, the county currently has a shortage of 256 oxen. However, the actual shortage is far greater than this number."

Tian Yun sighed, "First, pick the areas with the most serious problems and allocate a cow to each production team. Calculate how much is needed. Of course, we can't give it all. The county will provide one-third of the subsidy funds, the commune will provide one-third, and the production teams in need will provide another one-third. According to this standard, we will notify you and see how much the shortfall is."

Tian Yun knew that agricultural production today was extremely lacking in enthusiasm, and it could no longer be maintained solely by relying on full financial subsidies at the county level. The only way he could think of now was to positively mobilize enthusiasm for agricultural production.

Moreover, he has now decided that the development of farmers in Xia County must take the path of positive encouragement, rather than continuing to provide endless subsidies to inactive production teams.
