Zhang Shucheng was also a little embarrassed when he heard Ma Defu's electricity.
Yuquan Camp has just begun to develop, and many supporting facilities are not complete at all. The power supply station does not want to power Jintan Village, but because the village has a small population now, it is extremely expensive to pull wires directly from the county. Now Xihaigu is not rich, and the county government does not have that much money to help Jintan Village build power poles, etc.
"I discussed with the people from the power supply station, and their director and deputy director also held a meeting to discuss. The conditions here are indeed not very good. In principle, each village needs 80 households to power on. They have decided to take care of us now. As long as the forty households are satisfied, they can power on. But the population of Jintan Village is still not enough."
"We don't have to worry. The water use problem has been solved now, and other problems are not big problems. Let the villagers be patient. When this group of immigrants come, they will go to Jintan Village to ensure that you can use electricity next year."
Ma Defu also knew that things were difficult to handle, and it was not up to one person. Now the environment is still the economic development. Although the immigration of the Dianzhuang was dominated by the court, it did not pay much attention to it in the county or the city.
Only when Hu Jianlai's counterpart assistance team came to Yuquanying for inspection in April 1997, the place became the joint responsibility of counterpart poverty alleviation by Fujian and Ningxia, can it be truly valued by superiors and become the focus of development.
Nowadays, Yuquanying is just one of many resettlement sites. When the county is in financial difficulties, it is not at all concerned about the electricity and drinking water problems in Jintan Village. Even the funds for the Yellow River Yangshui Station that were allocated to be built were misappropriated by the county to develop the local economy. It was not until 1998 that the construction was actually completed. Jintan Village has been renamed Minning Village, and the Yellow River water is truly used.
When Zhao Shucheng met Ma Defu in Jintan Village, he realized that the problem of power supply was still unsolvable.
"That is, it's still necessary to reach forty households to go?"
Ma Defu said unnaturally: "Yes, but the power supply station also said that this is a special care today. If there is not enough people this year, it will still be based on the standard of 60 households next year."
Zhao Shucheng heard this number a bit too much. Although Jintan Village has a lot of people now, it is not easy to get more people here.
Now most people’s land has not been completely renovated. No one knows whether the land can produce food and whether it can support people. It is really not easy to attract immigrants.
"Defu, how many people do our village have now?"
Ma Defu was surprised why Zhao Shucheng asked about the population, but now all these data are in his heart, so he said it.
"Now Jintan Village still has 32 households. This is because you built brick and tile houses at your home before, which attracted a lot of people, but it is difficult to attract immigrants later."
Zhao Shucheng took out a cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth and lit it, and then said, "In fact, it is not impossible to get to forty households."
Ma Defu asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Well, that's it, you can see if you can do it."
"Many people here come here are all a family, such as Uncle Li Dayou. Their family has Grandpa Shuiwang, Uncle Dayou, and Shuiwang, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. If they only went to separate the family, can they be single independent households? Can Jintan Village have one more household? If so, your family, Uncle Dayou's family, and Director An's family, all of them are separated, there will be a lot more households."
Ma Defu shook his head and said, "This is definitely not possible. The county has long considered this situation. Such a separation will not be allowed in the short term."
Zhao Shucheng just asked with a tentative idea. Since this method doesn't work, he can only find a way to attract other people.
"Defu, it seems that we still have to go back to our hometown to attract people. When you recruited people, we were really hard here. There was no electricity industry or machine wells. We could only use water trucks to pull water. There was no big difference from the previous ones in Yongquan Village and Kushui Village."
"But the situation is different now. As long as we come to 8 more households, we can turn on electricity here, not to mention that we already have a well, right at the doorstep of our home."
"You find a camera to take a photo of our new house in the well and E, and wash out the photos as promotional methods. It means that E can build brick and tile houses because it is very close to Yinchuan City, a state-owned farm, and Yongning County. This house is built by working around to earn money."
"As long as they come here to work with the people who work, they can build brick and tile houses in less than a few months. However, the number of places in Jintan Village is limited, and after reaching 80 households, they will no longer accept new villagers. You are also informing them to take care of the people in your hometown."
"As long as you go back to a few wealthy families, there will definitely be many people who want to immigrate here. If there are more people, we can turn on electricity this year. Then we can farm after the land is leveled next year, so we don't have to worry about water use at all."
Ma Defu kept thinking about Zhao Shucheng's words. Of course, he knew that Zhao Shucheng's suggestions were feasible, but he was also worried that others would think it was a scam when they saw the situation.
"Is this really OK? Are we a lie?"
"Why are we lying? Well, was this house built by working around to earn money? Is there a well? Will they be able to power up when they come?"
Ma Defu was speechless. Although Zhao Shucheng was right, there was a problem with this and he couldn't find out the problem for a while.
Zhao Shucheng continued: "We asked them to come here not to cheat them, but to give them a better life."
"You know the conditions of our place. Even if there is a hundred kilograms of grain in the field, it is good. Most of the time, I eat potatoes and I can't survive at all."
"As long as they can get here, they can support people whether they work or farm. The owl can also be guaranteed that I will pay for the electricity bill for the well next year, so I don't have to pay the electricity bill for the new immigrants."
Ma Defu didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng wanted to bear the electricity bill of the machine well alone in order to power it on. To be honest, after the electricity bill was turned on, the villagers' homes did not have much electricity bill. Now most of them don't have any electrical appliances, at most they just have an electric light, but only fifteen watts. Only the machine wells need a lot of electricity because they involve problems such as irrigation.
If Zhao Shucheng bears the electricity bill himself, it will cost thousands of yuan, or even nearly ten thousand yuan. Because if the village name knows that the electricity bill of the machine well is borne by Zhao Shucheng, they will definitely work hard to water the land, and they will not be able to pump water in the phone well at all.
"This is not suitable. There is so much electricity bill, how can you bear it yourself?"
"Stop talking, that's it. Actually, I don't want to use other methods to summon immigrants, but I'm afraid that they will get the benefits and go back directly when they get here. Only by allowing them to try the well for free can it be considered a good condition."
"Okay, since you said that, you are not pretentious. Just go back and borrow a camera, wash out the photos and go back to the village to bring people."
Ma Defu was not a hesitant person either, he said firmly.
Li Shuihua also heard what Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu said, and couldn't help but ask with distress: "Yongfu, do we really have to bear the electricity bill by ourselves?"
"That's right, we will bear the electricity bill for the well next year, which is one year, and we will start charging next year. Of course, it's okay if someone else dials the well."
"You spend money too quickly."
Shuai still feels a little distressed about paying for electricity bills, and always feels that Zhao Shucheng is a bit expensive.
"Don't worry, our family will soon be short of money. For the sake of the dealer in the land, the money will be spent."
Li Shuihua also knew that she could not persuade the man in front of her, so she could only save some money when spending money in the future. She felt that the man in front of her was difficult to understand. You said he had no ability and he could earn money from a brick house in a few months. If you said that he had the ability, he was in Kushui Village, but he was poor, otherwise he would not have been so old and had not yet gotten married and had children.
Zhao Shucheng ignored Li Shuihua's gaze. He was waiting for his second pot of gold so that he could earn his third pot of gold.
My first pot of gold has been spent, it depends on when the novel I wrote will be released so that I can earn more money.
Jintan Village welcomed the last batch of immigrants this year, most of whom were from Kushui Village and Yongquan Village. Zhao Shucheng's uncle also followed him to Jintan Village and was directly pulled into Zhao Shucheng's brick and tile house.
My uncle was a little embarrassed and said, "Otherwise we would still live in that nest, and everyone would come here like this."
Zhao Shucheng said, "Uncle, what are you saying? How much effort did you put into marrying a wife, you can't forget your foundation. That is, you spend all the money you have in your hands to build a house and drill a machine well, otherwise you will definitely live in a brick house."
"Uncle, I've thought about it all. When my second royalty is coming, you can use the money to buy bricks and tiles and build a brick house directly at that time."
"How can that be? I can't use your money. I can work by myself, and your cousin can work, and then the Russians earn money to build a house by themselves."
When Zhao Shucheng saw that his uncle was really unwilling to use his own money, he said, "Then like this, uncle, this money is lent to you. I will exchange it when you earn money. We will build the best house, so as not to need to build a house again in the future."
"How could I build a house again? This house is a place to live for the rest of my life."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Uncle, this is not necessarily the case. You think that other people's houses are now all adobe houses. If you have money in the future, you will definitely change them to brick and tile houses. If you have brick and tile houses, you want to change them to buildings. Isn't it just that you will rebuild your house? Our Zijie is just brick and tile houses, so that you will not need to rebuild them in the future."
