Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

It's just that his wishful thinking didn't work out, he was just about to turn around and leave gracefully when Zhang Hai caught him like an eagle catching a chick.

"Don't go! I only hope that you are a dish."

Wanfeng had no choice but to stay and exchange cups with the antiques.

In fact, he didn't even have a cup, so he could only stare at these people.

Wan Feng sat among a group of middle-aged burly men, like a little white flower in a historic site, with a slow and pitiful expression like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

These few people are people with some prestige in the back of the valley. What is Zhang Hai doing to find these people?

Unlike the last time when Zhang Hai approached Wan Feng and Zhu Ping and was sent to an outhouse, this time Zhu Ping actually got a position.

Zhang Hai began to make an opening speech: "Let me talk about the purpose of bringing everyone here today. Our Jiangwei team is one of the poorest teams in the Warriors Commune, and our Wahou team is the poorest team in the Jiangwei team." One of the small teams is only a little stronger than the Zhou family with the least land area. I think that if we want to live a good life, we can't rely on the one-acre three-point land. We have to figure out a way by ourselves. Now the policy of the top has been loosened. , a little bit to encourage rural people to find their own way out, we decided to be the first to eat crabs, tell me what we should do?"

It was cold, no one spoke.

It's not that they are embarrassed to say it, they really don't know what to say.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Hai had to sing a solo show: "A few days ago, I asked a capable person, and he gave us some notices. Today I want to discuss with you."

Wan Feng was startled, he has successfully upgraded to a capable person? But looking back, I really am a capable person.

"He gave us an idea to open a brick and tile factory. I have been running a loan in the rural credit cooperatives for the past two days. The commune supports us to start a team and start a business. It has promised us a loan of 3,000 yuan. The loan will be paid within two days. Come down, but I always feel uneasy in my heart, this is three thousand yuan! I will ask everyone to brainstorm and discuss it."

With specific investment projects, this time back to the meeting, the participants spoke enthusiastically.

You say a word or two, and the spitting stars dance under the light, and all the cloudy words fly out.

Wan Feng felt drowsy, why did he call him to such a meeting? Does this have anything to do with him?

Although these people talked nonsense for half an hour, their attitude towards the brick and tile factory was generally positive.

So the next step is to turn theory into practice.

"Nephew! You came up with the idea. Tell me how to implement it in our brick and tile factory?"

Wan Feng, whose upper and lower eyelids were stuck together like a pair of cheating dogs and men, suddenly heard this sentence, and his eyelids parted reluctantly.

"Ah? Why do you ask me?"

"We have never worked in a brick and tile factory. The idea is that you don't ask who you ask if you make it?"

This chatter, as if I did the same.

Of course Wan Feng had never opened a brick and tile factory, but he had worked as a brick loader and cement loader in his previous life, so he was no stranger to the working procedures of a brick and tile factory.

"First of all, you need to choose a suitable site. There are no special requirements for cement bricks and tiles. A factory building that can shelter from the wind and a flat site are all you need. However, there are still requirements for red brick sites. At least there must be sufficient brick kilns. Clay soil, right? You can’t fetch soil from miles away.”

"That's not a problem. I already have space in my heart for the venue. We'll go to the venue tomorrow morning to have a look."

Aiya, I go! And tomorrow morning? Is it easy for me to take one day off a week? This is obviously going to be squeezed out.

"In addition to the hardware conditions, there must be supporting roads. You can't have products but can't ship them out."

Not to mention the countryside in 1980, even the provincial roads were mostly sandy, and there were not many decent roads in the countryside.

Wahou is a remote place, with HN in the north and hills in the west.

There are only field roads that can only be taken by horse-drawn carriages at that time.

This kind of small-scale transportation by horse-drawn carriage is not a problem. If there are motor vehicles, it is okay to say in winter, but it is a problem in summer and autumn.

"I'll talk about the road when the road is up. If it doesn't work, it can be repaired. You should first talk about the equipment needed by the brick and tile factory."

The issue of equipment is a long story to talk about.

The history of clay fired bricks can be traced back to the period of Qin Shihuang. It has a long history in China. The manual production method does not have much technical content, but the output is the problem.

Clay brick sintering is one aspect, and the pressing and drying of brick adobe is also an important link, which directly affects the output.

In order to increase the output, mechanization is the path that must be taken. Making adobes by hand is a piece of cake.

Beiliao was a heavy industry province in China at that time, and almost all the machinery and equipment that could be produced in China were available in Beiliao, and of course there were brick-making equipment factories.

As for cement bricks and tiles, I can no longer buy them. One is that the budget is not enough, and the other is that there may not be such machinery at that time.

Making cement bricks with the same machinery that makes red bricks doesn't seem to work.

Cement bricks came onto the stage of history only after clay bricks were officially banned nationwide in 2010. Where are those equipments sleeping?

Then it can only be made by hand with molds.

"First of all, we need equipment for pressing water billets. There must be manufacturers in our province. The difficulty is to find the cities where these manufacturers are located, and then buy the equipment back."

Zhang Hai blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "I remember that there seems to be such a factory in Dongdan City. I heard about it from the buyer of the machinery factory."

Dongdan City is 400 meters away from Hongya, in the most southeastern corner of Beiliao Province, opposite to County C, another socialist country.

"Then implement it as soon as possible. This is the equipment needed for sintering red bricks. For the time being, we can only produce cement bricks and tiles by manual molds. The sales of cement bricks and tiles in the early stage will not be too large. Manual molds are enough to cope. When the market opens When the demand comes up, we will find a way. As for the mold, our commune machinery factory or Gushan commune machinery factory can design, process and produce it, but I guess we need relationships.”

The products of the Yongshi Commune Machinery Factory are old-fashioned hammer mills and three-phase asynchronous motors. A township enterprise could produce these things at that time and it was considered a relatively high-end factory. It should not be a problem to produce several sets of brick and tile molds. refused to do.

After the general policy and strategy are formulated, the matter is considered settled, and the next thing to do will depend on Zhang Hai's work ability.

"Nephew! Do you think we can do it if we open a brick and tile factory? There are several brick and tile factories in our county." Some people still seemed to be lacking in confidence and raised questions.

There were indeed several brick factories in Hongya County at that time, especially the most famous Gaoyang Brick Factory in the west of Hongya County. This question is not unreasonable.

"Why not? Everyone else can do it, but we can't? I don't believe it! Bricks and tiles are necessary supplies in the countryside. One or two brick factories can't meet the needs of such a big market in Hongya County. Why is the brick factory in Gaoyang so prosperous? It is because there are no competitors, so as long as the quality of our products is guaranteed, there will be no market, and the supply will definitely exceed demand, and we will do it!"

Wan Feng's words were resounding.
