Chapter 1162 There is no other way
He Yuzhu didn't spend too much energy on this matter. He just said a few words and made a phone call.
Not to mention his friendship with Xu Damao, the little fat boy always sweet-talks his "uncle" every time they meet. Also, Xu Shengli is the chief general under his eldest daughter, so He Yuzhu can't just sit there and do nothing.
During this period, He Yuzhu did not get involved in any specific matters except occasionally visiting the farm and signing some documents.
He just took a few more looks at the fishery, but He Yuzhu had never been to the other places.
The farm doesn’t actually attach much importance to the several fish ponds in the fishery.
The annoying part about this industry is the early preparation.
The key points are the disinfection of fish ponds, the selection of water sources, and the cultivation of seedlings.
After the small fish that can forage for food independently are released into the fish pond, the technicians have finished their work.
At other times, they just make occasional inspections to see changes in water quality and to see if the fish are sick or something.
As for feeding the fish, we simply found a group of old men in the commune to take care of it.
There are also children. Every child in the elementary school must cut a handful of wild grass and throw it into the fish farm before class to feed the fish.
It’s not that He Yuzhu is exploiting those children, but the fishery’s partner is the school.
He Yuzhu knew very well that the rate of return on doing this would definitely not be high.
These days, it is impossible to feed concentrated feed like raising pigs.
Therefore, we can only reduce the investment cost of this industry again and again.
In terms of feed, the farm can provide some help. For example, the pig manure from the pig farm can be composted to cultivate a batch of earthworms.
The ecology of the fish pond can also be nourished with pig manure.
After all the use is done, it will be turned into farmyard manure and spread on the fields.
But this amount of feed is definitely not enough, so fish grass is also planted.
Here, the amount of manual labor used is a big problem.
If we use various regular and temporary workers like a pig farm, the cost will be too high.
Therefore, He Yuzhu cooperated directly with the villages and schools to fill the labor gap with the elderly in the rural areas and the children in school.
There is an exchange of interests involved, and as there are also those "laborers" who are too old to work in the fields, He Yuzhu and the villagers have set up a work point exchange system, as well as a three-way profit sharing system based on output at the end of the year.
To put it simply, for example, the old men who look after the fish pond can get one work point every two days, and the children can get one work point every few days.
When the fish pond produces output at the end of the year, a portion of the farm’s initial investment in the fish pond will be deducted based on the sales value.
Then the profits are divided among the farm, village and school.
Among them, the village wants to deduct the agricultural fertilizer, which is pig manure, given to them by the farm.
As for the school, after discussing with the principal, He Yuzhu decided to use the money for students' lunch.
In this matter, the village did not lose money at the beginning, after all, they had to pay for the pig manure from the farm.
Farmyard manure is in short supply now. If you want to produce more from the land, you must use enough fertilizer. The old men in the village used to do the work of picking up pig manure.
Now that they can earn work points directly and make contributions to the collective, those elderly and frail people are working very hard.
As for the school, the situation was a little more complicated. The reason for all this was that the output of the fish pond was not transparent. If it weren't for He Yuzhu's contribution to the school in the past few years, the old principal would have sent He Yuzhu, who had "made a fortune out of nothing", directly to the commune. He Yuzhu was the only one who knew that as long as there was no large-scale disease, the output of the fish pond would not be too bad.
Now it seems that He Yuzhu is the one who tricked the children in the school into working hard for the fish pond for nothing. But by the end of the year, after the fish pond is sold, the old principal of the school will probably come over and kowtow to He Yuzhu.
If the children can be provided with lunch, then many more parents will be willing to send their children to school.
You cannot expect every parent to understand that learning can change one's destiny, even if the old principal works himself to death every year to ensure that children from remote areas can continue their studies.
But there are still parents who believe that instead of letting their children learn useless things, it is better to keep them at home and do more housework.
If He Yuzhu's plan can succeed and save those families' children a lunch, it will be much more beneficial.
For example, some parents will let their children eat less at home and wait for a big meal at school at noon, so that food is saved at home.
There is no parent who would not like to have a child who cannot earn work points, but is taken care of, provided with food, and can also learn to recognize a few words.
Of course, that’s because families with many children have to be so frugal.
Farmers have always been poor. Even though He Yuzhu brought a brick kiln to the commune, there were still many remote villages and many families that could not get enough food.
This is similar to the charity lunches in later generations, but those things are all earned by the children themselves through their own labor.
What He Yuzhu is proposing now is lunch, but lunch is only a minimum guarantee. As for whether breakfast and dinner can also be provided, and further, whether the children can have meat every now and then, it depends on the output of the fish pond.
In this regard, He Yuzhu believes that he is not doing a good deed, but rather coming up with this solution out of desperation.
As the fish grow bigger, they now float to the surface in groups at feeding time and can be seen with the naked eye.
After the old principal of the school came over to see me a few times, the corners of his mouth were stretched to his ears.
Nothing else, he found, he seemed to have earned it again.
Let alone the several fish ponds that He Yuzhu experimented with this year, as long as the yield per mu can reach over 300 kilograms, and the middle price is set according to the size, 20 to 30 cents per kilogram, the income per mu will be 50 to 60 cents.
The fish ponds are all pits made from soil by the village’s brick kilns, which saves a lot of money.
After deducting the initial farm investment, it is still a considerable income.
The key point is that the commune in front and the units in the city were not optimistic about the fish pond, so He Yuzhu asked their school to "participate in the shares".
If there is a product in the future and anyone wants to get a piece of the pie, the old principal will lead hundreds of children from the school to the other party's unit and make a big fuss.
This is also a new change caused by changes in He Yuzhu's work.
Ever since He Yuzhu decided to develop the television industry chain, it was only a matter of time before the farm was handed over.
So, last year, several units that agreed to cooperate with He Yuzhu in fish pond farming have not made any further announcements since this year.
So He Yuzhu set his sights on the village and the school.
Fortunately, it only requires a little help, and considering He Yuzhu's reputation in the commune, everyone is willing to help.
He Yuzhu did this because he thought that since he started the matter, he must end it well.
