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

Chapter 126 Financial Support

Gu Zhan was still worried about what to do if everyone was too resistant to building a cowshed.

The problem was finally solved by Zhao Baogen with a single sentence: "Record work points." At that time, if you don't work, you won't participate in the dividends. The solution was simple and crude, but it touched people's hearts.

At that time, those who are unwilling to participate in labor will surely be unable to resist joining in when they see more people participating.

Sun Yuan had already returned to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After the construction of the cowshed was finalized, Gu Zhan called Sun Yuan again.

At the same time, Sun Yuan, who received a call from Gu Zhan, also breathed a sigh of relief. Now the promotion of "Anhe No. 1" has finally made some progress. If Gu Zhan's cattle farm fails, their progress will be delayed again.

"Hello, President Sun! I'm Gu Zhan."

"Xiao Gu, how's the cattle farm going?"

Sun Yuan also knew that running a cattle farm was not something that could be done overnight, so he asked about the progress so that he and Guo Zhida would have an idea.

"Dean Sun, everything is going smoothly here. According to the normal process, the cattle should be delivered in a month."

"Hahahaha, that's great. I'll wait for your good news then."

At the same time, Zhu Changzhi was not idle either. He had called together the heads of various departments in the past few days to draft the plan assigned by Tian Yun, and was now organizing and writing it.

This document needs to be issued, and there are still many follow-up procedures. It is better to do it as soon as possible rather than later, especially considering the progress of the opening of the Shanghe Village cattle farm.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Jianhua, director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, called.

Zhu Changzhi answered the phone, and Liu Jianhua asked directly, "Director Zhu, how much money does your county plan to support the Shanghe Village cattle farm?"

Zhu Changzhi glanced at the document he was still writing and said, "Secretary Tian has decided to use half of the funds for the cattle purchase, which is 15,000 yuan."

Liu Jianhua pondered for a moment and said, "Then the Municipal Agriculture Bureau should allocate 6,000 yuan in special funds for support."

"Thank you, Director Liu, for your support for the agricultural development of our Xia County."

"Director Zhu, we're old acquaintances. Don't be polite with me. Your county-level units still need to provide good guidance. This is the first shot in the agricultural development of our Jing City, and we must fire it."

"I know, Director Liu, I know." Zhu Changzhi said politely.

With the money provided by the Municipal Agriculture Bureau and the financial support from the county level, it shouldn't be too difficult to set up the cattle farm in Shanghe Village.

Zhao Baogen has always been a doer. After the mobilization meeting in the morning, he rang the bell to go to work at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The team members were very enthusiastic. After hearing the bell, they all took their farm tools and went to the production team's yard.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhao Baogen confirmed the number of people and called the roll. He said, "Here, let me tell you some good news. The Municipal Agriculture Bureau called today and promised to allocate 6,000 yuan in special funds to us."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who came to work was excited. The city allocated 6,000 yuan, and the county would also allocate 15,000 yuan. This was the first time in the history of Shanghe Village.

How could a cattle farm that is supported by both the city and the county fail to be established?

Everyone present saw the light in each other's eyes.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhao Baogen knew that his goal had been achieved.

It's not that he has to report the amount of funds to everyone, but judging from the number of people working today, everyone's enthusiasm is generally not high. Those who have four or five laborers in their families basically have the mentality of giving it a try, and only send one person symbolically. This will inevitably affect the construction progress of the cattle farm in the afternoon.

Zhao Baogen led everyone to the edge of the pasture at the foot of the mountain and pointed to a large patch of grass in front of them. He said, "This pasture is where we're going to build the cattle shed. Your task over the next few days is to level the land here."

After Zhao Baogen finished speaking, he also joined the ranks of leveling the land.

After the news of the city allocating funds spread, there were obviously many more people coming to work on the second day than on the first day. Several families who had been swayed by Gu Jun's words also came. The number of participants was comparable to that during the busy farming season.

With everyone's support, the work progressed very quickly. By the fifth day, the foundation was almost finished.

Seeing that the foundation had been completed, but there was still no news about funding from the county and city, Zhao Baogen became more and more anxious.

It was not until the sixth day when the foundation was completed and Zhou Jiawang came to ask him if he wanted to start building the cowshed that Zhao Baogen could no longer wait.

Since the funds have not arrived yet, we dare not make the decision to start construction rashly.

Finally, he was so impatient that he went to find Gu Zhan, who was taking time out from home to translate documents, at around ten o'clock in the morning.

At that time, Liu Xiaoxi was doing needlework with Huang Guihua in the yard. When Zhao Baogen entered the house, he saw the two of them and asked Liu Xiaoxi breathlessly, "Xiaoxi, is Gu Xiaozi home?"

Huang Guihua was teaching her daughter how to sew children's cotton-padded clothes. Liu Xiaoxi was learning with great concentration when she heard Zhao Baogen's voice.

Seeing Zhao Baogen's hurried appearance, Liu Xiaoxi thought he was in a hurry, so he stood up and said, "Uncle Zhao, is there something urgent? He is in the main hall."

"Gu Zhan, Uncle Zhao is looking for you." Liu Xiaoxi shouted into the house.

Gu Zhan, who was immersed in the documents, heard the noise outside. He hurriedly got up and came out, only to see Zhao Baogen walk in.

"Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?" Gu Zhan asked as he invited the person into the main hall.

"Hey, when will the money the city and county promised us arrive? We won't have the confidence to build a cattle shed until the money arrives."

Because Zhu Changzhi had already told him everything, Gu Zhan didn't have anything to worry about. After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry about this. They also have a certain process. I guess the money will be allocated in the near future."

"It's not that I'm worried, but I feel uneasy."

Gu Zhan understood Zhao Baogen's psychology, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'll call and ask."

"Hey, good."

The two were walking towards the brigade headquarters when they saw Zhou Jiawang approaching with sweat on his forehead. He said, "Captain, Xiao Gu, the County Agricultural Bureau is calling and wants you two to answer the phone."

Gu Zhan guessed that the County Agricultural Bureau must have already got the result and needed to call to connect. In order to avoid the other party waiting for a long time, he trotted all the way to the brigade headquarters to answer the call.

The call was from Zhu Changzhi, who told Gu Zhan an unexpected news: "Secretary Tian will come to investigate in person tomorrow. After confirming that there are no problems, he will allocate the funds to you."

"Okay, thank you Director Zhu for letting me know."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? Just prepare well tomorrow and try to satisfy Secretary Tian."

"Thank you, Director Zhu. Don't worry, there will be no problem!"
