Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 280 Tractor

Longjin Town, the economic cooperative, developed in the last month of the year, with the input of the automobile factory, and has formed a large-scale department.

“Hey, wife of the Luo family, why are you picking up vegetables like this? Let me tell you, you Liu family are in the same team as ours. The leaves of this vegetable are so good, why did you choose it?”

“Uncle, there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m actually doing it for your own good. The leaf is a little old, so I won’t take it off. If you take it to the city, you’ll have to pay two cents less per kilogram. Besides, you can take the leaf back after you take it off. Feed the pigs and chickens, cut off some and everyone can eat it. But this is not my harvest, it is the car factory in the city.”

“This~~, okay, then don’t lose our team’s money if you cheat.”

A team leader who leads people to deliver food comes to the cooperative to deliver food. Now in the entire town, people from the agricultural school provide guidance on what kind of land is suitable for planting. In this month, vegetables that can be harvested must naturally be more cold-resistant. But it’s already March, and there will be someone to guide me on what to plant next time.

Now, under the leadership of the automobile factory, Gao Ru is arranged to go to an agricultural school to provide guidance on planting. You don’t need expert professors to grow some vegetables. Some students who are about to graduate can also do it. In this way, students can also practice in the fields, which also helps Longjin Town’s vegetable plot planning.

What you plant at the foot of the mountain has completely different effects than what you plant on the hillside. Vegetables can be grown, but different soils and moisture levels are more suitable for growing.

Now peas, celery, lettuce, shepherd’s purse, spinach, peppers, etc. are all ready for the market. Different types of vegetables have different prices. The purchase price is certainly not as high as the prices sold at farmers’ markets in the city, but it is still a considerable income for rural people. For example, a piece of lettuce may not be cheap, but it weighs a lot. It weighs several kilograms. How many cents can it be sold for? And if the lettuce leaves are not harvested, they can be used to feed chickens, ducks and pigs. Some people even eat it as a dish, but the taste is just not good.

The really expensive ones are the spring bamboo shoots and wild jujubes in the mountains. These spring bamboo shoots are usually found at the beginning of spring. Wherever there are bamboos, they bloom all over the place. Many people pick them and eat them as vegetables, but rural people don’t like this dish at all. The spring bamboo shoots are obviously very tender, but they are reluctant to put some oil on them if they are to be eaten as vegetables. This is fried without oil. If the fresh ones are simply cooked, they will still have a tingling feeling.

Ordinary rural people, when they have no food at home, they cook some. A little bit of a la carte, the spring bamboo shoots are sliced, boiled and dried. Once dried, the bamboo shoots will no longer feel numb. But without frying in oil, the fresh bamboo shoots really cannot have a refreshing taste.

But now the price charged by the car factory is much higher than that of spinach, pepper and so on. They charge three cents per pound. You don’t have to slice and dry them, just fresh spring bamboo shoots, and you don’t even need to remove the outer layer of fur. The price is three cents per catty, but we won’t accept those that are too old. Don’t think about letting the bamboo shoots in the field grow longer just because they charge three cents per catty here.

The spring bamboo shoots have their best taste for only a few days, and they are no longer harvested when they get old. Moreover, the president of the cooperative, Luo Wen, doesn’t give it to anyone. He doesn’t want anything he can’t ask for. He will take it back to eat when he is old, and don’t try to take advantage of the cooperative. Don’t think about the people in the town, you should know that this is collected by the car factory. The director of the automobile factory was Luo Wen’s son. He was from the same township, and he was a father and son.

In addition, some wild jujube trees on the mountain produce some green jujubes, which are also collected by automobile factories, and the price is much higher than that of spring bamboo shoots. These green jujubes are actually not as sweet as winter jujubes. Especially the jujubes from the south are really not as delicious as the jujubes from the north. The jujubes from the north are bigger. But there is a shortage of fruits these days, so it would be nice to have dates, so there is no need to be so particular.

The price is six cents per pound, which is higher than the price of coarse grains. You need to know that you don’t need to pay for transactions with cooperatives without receipts, and you don’t need to take the money out. You can buy grain directly. As long as the money is in the cooperative’s account, you can buy the cooperative’s grain. But you can’t take the money out and then take it back to buy grain.

Because of these conditions for buying grain, even if some vegetables are sold cheaper than in the market, the villagers feel that it is a good deal. In order to earn a few extra cents, they do not get up early to get some vegetables and sell them at the nearby black market near the city.

But that is to say, everyone listens to the cooperative. Some students from agricultural universities come here to provide guidance. Even though they are students, you must know that they are reserve cadres as soon as they graduate. The leaders in the town will be very polite when meeting the college students. So even if you are a student, you can plant whatever you want in the village. So it is only March and a lot of vegetables are ready for picking, and the yield is really good. Of course, there are also some mistakes in guidance, and some things may not be fully considered, but at most, the output is not enough, and there has not been a complete harvest.

There are a lot of dishes. After all, Longjin Town is the merger of two towns, and this year, there is another town that wants to merge. They are all adjacent towns, separated by a reservoir. The area is not small, but the population is actually not large. There is no flat place, and there are hills and other things everywhere. If it were not for famine, it would be even poorer than the previous Longyang Town.

But during the famine in the past few years, places with many mountains were actually better than places with many fields, and no gains were made anyway. You can still find something in the mountains to some extent, even tree bark is more abundant than others.

The truck that delivers vegetables can make two trips a day, and it hasn’t actually been delivered for many days until now. That is to say, spring is here now, and the vegetable harvest is getting more and more.

But when the cooperative is busy, it still doesn’t have enough people. There are actually many people in the town who want to work in the cooperative. But the nature of the cooperative is that the automobile factory cooperates with the town. The automobile factory is responsible for recruiting people. The cooperative has to recruit people locally, which is not impossible. But when the cooperative recruits people, it means recruiting people from the town, and the wages have to be paid. Out of town.

Of course, this does not mean that the town needs to spend extra money to recruit people, but that part of the profits earned by the cooperative will be turned over to the town’s finance.

For example, when everyone grows vegetables, some villagers can grow some vegetables in front of their homes, which is considered personal. But the land and vegetables grown by the team leader’s organization are collectively owned. The money from the sale will indeed be distributed to everyone according to work points. But this money must be paid in part before it can be divided. This part of the money turned over was actually given to the town.

Luo Wen also told the people in the town that the cooperative really needed people. As a resident of the town, he also hoped that the town would arrange for people to come over. The most important thing is to avoid suspicion. The people in the cooperative are either transferred from the city or some relatives of the Luo family.

And just because the cooperative needed to recruit people, the town commune even held a meeting. If we arrange for people to go in, it will look like the cooperative pays the wages, but in fact it comes from the town’s remittances. And if the town doesn’t send people there, it can actually take advantage of the automobile factory. Because there is really a shortage of manpower, the cooperative’s human resources staff will ask the personnel department of Ngee Ann Automobile Factory to send people over.

Therefore, if the town arranges for one less person to go there, it can save dozens of dollars in salary a month. Currently, there are only three people working in the cooperative to receive wages in the town, including Luo Wen, a financial accountant and a cashier. Even the car factory has sent accountants and cashiers. But in this regard, the town still feels that it is better to have two of its own people to supervise things.

But now some people say that if a hundred kilograms of stuff from the team is taken to the cooperative, the cooperative will only count it as eighty kilograms. How much is greedy in one go? What’s the use of having a settler? We need to add more people and control all aspects.

You must know that the cooperative not only grows vegetables, but also processes products. Now the unit price of wooden pallets has dropped, but the quantity has increased. If someone does something wrong and sells a hundred pallets, it will become eighty after some manipulation. Well, even less. This is not a one-hand delivery and one-hand payment. Everything is recorded in the books first, and everyone still has to consider whether they want money or food.

In fact, whoever can be a cadre in the town is not a smart person. Where did the news of the cooperative’s manipulation come from? Why didn’t it happen before, but now it’s coming when the cooperative is short of people? It’s not just that the profits turned over belong to the township and the collective, but the money earned by whoever puts people to work belongs to the individual.

Profit, the secretary and the mayor may consider the expenditure and income of the entire town, and even if they send people to work there, they will not send more. But other cadres didn’t think so. They persuaded the leader to agree to arrange for people to go there. There were a few more places. Then he would find a relative to go there. As a small leader in the town, he had to give him this face.

Towns are not as good as counties and cities in that they can have a salaried job. Let’s put it this way, a man with a bad style can deceive many young girls in the town.

Now Luo Cheng’s sister-in-law and uncle are the ones serving food in the cooperative canteen. But in the towns and villages, it’s a little better. If you need help, you can ask for help. Anyway, the kitchen only pays for two people. Unless there are more employees, more people will be added. As for who made the food, there is no need to be serious.

Therefore, my brother-in-law often went to work on the farm, but it was my sister-in-law and my uncle’s mother who really worked in the kitchen.

The cooperative paid wages a few days ago, and their wages are the money of temporary workers in the automobile factory. Because rural household registration has not yet been rationed, but you can buy rice according to the quota, and the welfare rice bran and soybean meal from the automobile factory are all available here. There are also receipts for small things, but after all, we are in a rural town, and the food here cannot be compared with the canteen of a car factory. But there are subsidies for those who come from the car factory, but those who live here like my sister-in-law don’t get subsidies.

The person who collects the vegetables is the wife of the uncle’s second son, who also helps with the collection and is not paid. The uncle’s two sons are both porters, and sometimes they have to follow the car to unload the goods at Ngee Ann Automobile Factory.

Rowan gave the town an ultimatum. If they didn’t recruit helpers, he would ask the cooperative’s human resources staff to report to the automobile factory. Don’t worry about arranging people to come in when the room is full.

How could the people in the commune not want to arrange for people to come in? Luo Wen’s relatives would only be temporary workers. They are now narrowing down the scope of recruitment in a fair and just way. Just like bidding and internal recruitment in later generations, various conditions are specified.

First, the farmers were eliminated, saying that the people recruited in the town belonged to the town. If you are not from a car factory, do you think you can get benefits from buying food? Now the accountants and cashiers working in the cooperatives, in addition to receiving wages, do not receive the benefits of the automobile factory, even Luo Wen does.

When recruiting people, it’s not that the commune doesn’t give opportunities to rural people, it’s that you go to work and only get money but no tickets and no food to eat. In this way, most of the people will be eliminated, and there are not many people in the town who eat commercial grain. They are basically employed by units in the town, grain stations, forestry, fishery, agriculture and other units.

The children of the leaders of the commune, or some relatives, are more likely to meet the requirements. Then there is culture, age, and various suggestions. Anyway, in the end, a certain leader’s daughter had a primary school education and was good at doing statistics, but no one else except her was so suitable. It was simply ‘tailor-made’.

As for others, even if it is a porter, someone who picks vegetables, or someone who organizes the warehouse. Anyway, the opportunity is rare. I can just work as a regular worker. What’s wrong with those who eat commercial food and just become a regular worker? As for the arrangement of many personnel, the cooperative’s financial contribution will be much less, but what can be done about it. The money paid belongs to the town, and the salary received belongs to the individual. As long as it is arranged, who will not be grateful for the rest of his life.

You must know that in some places in the city, a formal job quota can be sold for hundreds of dollars. Moreover, formal work in this era is personal wealth and can be transferred to others to take over. It is normal for parents to step back and take over their children. If you let others take the lead, say they are relatives, and just want to give it to others, the factory will not ask any questions.

At the Ngee Ann Automobile Factory, Luo Cheng had no other departments to bother with today. He had to deal with matters related to the junior high school and technical secondary school. And because Director Zhang was not here today, there was no discussion or arrangement.

So today he found Team Leader Jiang and the others. Now that the truck was out, they also hauled the goods for a while. If there is any problem with the car, even if it doesn’t appear now, the driver can feel that there may be a problem somewhere and will report it. The driver didn’t think there was a problem. The vehicle was still pulling goods, so he didn’t think the problem was big.

But the problem is not big. Luo Cheng did not ask Team Leader Jiang to bring out another one. The parts are being purchased, but if the purchase comes, it is better to be stable. This time the truck will be tested according to the formal test.

But since trucks are no longer in production for the time being, they can actually study tractors. In other words, the truck is just a tractor head, with the front and rear separated. When the time comes, it will not matter whether it is a semi-trailer or a full-trailer.

Nowadays, vehicles are in short supply. If we really want to build large trucks, we will definitely not be able to increase production. The tractor is different. The size of the rear compartment can be adjusted at any time. Especially now, the export of trucks is all carried by a single truck. If it is not an export, it can be driven directly to the city of export.

The forklift is relatively good, but if a van is exported in the future, it will be even more difficult to drive through it. Vans abroad are basically purchased by individuals. If you drive a few hundred kilometers in their hands, who would be happy? As for domestic sales, they are all units of the state, so there is nothing to say about driving directly there for delivery.

Get a tractor, get a very long carriage at the back, and add another layer, and you can send more than a dozen vehicles to other cities in one trip. When the time comes to export your own cars, you can still earn the freight for rolling steel, because in fact, the car factory does not have to worry about exporting things. Even if it is loaded on a truck, one load at a time, it is the arrangement of the steel rolling factory.

But Luo Cheng knew something when he went to SH City. In fact, the people above also hoped that Luo Cheng would always be like this. As long as the price and things Luo Cheng want are achieved, it’s best for the car factory to ignore other things.

For example, forklifts, no matter how the export is traded, just give 30,000 units to the automobile factory, and 4% of the payment can be used to settle the grain. The steel rolling mill is responsible for transportation. Even if there are not enough vehicles, other transportation teams are sent to help with transportation. The reason is simple. Luo Cheng was given only food and RMB. But what they get is foreign exchange and various grains, beef, soybeans, etc.

According to what Dai Tiande revealed to Luo Cheng, he just took the food. There is a shortage of beef in the country, and most of the cattle that are available are farm cattle, and they are not allowed to be slaughtered casually. And foreign beef has long been on the dining tables of leaders.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with getting tractors out, sending them to your own factory, and earning other people’s freight charges.

I asked Team Leader Jiang to call some design people.

Come over, especially someone who was involved in the structural design of the van from the beginning. We are all discussing how to build this tractor. This tractor separates the front and rear, but the water tank, fuel tank, engine and various automotive equipment must be placed in the front, and the bearing design is also different and more centralized. . It can be considered an increase, but there is no increase on the front side of the tractor, but there are bearings on the chassis of the rear compartment of the semi-trailer or full-trailer. The question of the first few and the last few.

Towing trucks can actually refer to some ideas. For example, a tractor can be used to plow the fields with other plowing equipment on one head. The train cars are also connected one by one. But the train has tracks and is relatively stable.

Now Luo Cheng has handed over this issue to Team Leader Jiang and his team. Team Leader Jiang has more than a dozen engineers, including those who came last year and those who joined this year. And since they have a truck background, they are not asked to independently design a vehicle. At best, they can just adjust the structure. For a dozen engineers, the monthly salary adds up to more than 2,000 yuan, and an ordinary worker may have to work for ten years. If this problem cannot be solved, it is useless.

Luo Cheng not only wanted them to solve it as soon as possible, but also wanted them to quickly come up with a solution. And during the discussion just now, Luo Cheng also provided a rough combination of the tractor and the trunk, which prevented them from taking detours.

As for the new tasks, the people brought by Team Leader Jiang all looked excited. Isn’t it because they are young and have little ability and experience that they leave Amado? It is difficult for them to participate in actual projects in big cities. There are projects here, and the pay is no worse than in Tianhu. The backwardness of the city has nothing to do with those who engage in design research.

In particular, Luo Cheng also required that the truck being tested should try its best to remove the tractor before running the designated kilometers. After the whole process, they will be given bonuses and bicycle tickets to their research and development team.

After Luo Cheng finished explaining their affairs, Team Leader Jiang asked Luo Cheng to meet his teacher Hu Ping. After all, he was a university teacher teaching in Tiando. Now that he is here, he has been busy with home research and development of air conditioners and refrigerators, so he must be given a reasonable position arrangement.

Luo Cheng thought about it, mainly because he had just returned from SH City, and there were some things he didn’t expect at the moment. The meal was coming soon, and Luo Cheng thought it would be better to invite Teacher Hu Ping to have a meal in the cafeteria and have a good chat. As soon as Luo Cheng left the conference room, he saw a truck from the automobile factory outside the office building pulling a truckload of vegetables to the canteen.

The cooperative’s vegetables were all supplied. Luo Cheng didn’t know that such a variety of dishes was good. The canteen could provide a la carte cooking services like a restaurant.
