Chapter 108 Land Approval
"This is our common goal. We look forward to your success and hope to solve the employment problem for more educated youth returning to the city. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to assist you."
Zhao Yuan left the county magistrate's office with a heart full of joy and the approved plan. He knew that a new journey was about to begin.
Zhao Yuan took the plan to each department for approval, and finally arrived at the office of Director Jiang Guoping of the Land and Resources Bureau.
Director Jiang Guoping sat at his desk, carefully reading the approval plan in his hands. His brow was slightly furrowed, and he was deep in thought:
"Which piece of land in the county town is the most suitable?"
Zhao Yuan sat in the chair opposite, quietly waiting for Director Jiang Guoping's response.
Finally, Director Jiang Guoping raised his head and his gaze fell on Zhao Yuan.
They started discussing which piece of land was the most suitable.
Director Jiang Guoping proposed several options, while Zhao Yuan analyzed them based on his own needs and plans.
After a heated discussion, the two finally reached an agreement.
They decided to choose a vacant lot near the train station as the new factory site. The lot was large, in a good location, and uninhabited, so it wouldn't involve complicated issues like demolition.
Furthermore, the soil conditions here are not suitable for growing crops, but they are very suitable for building factories.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to go to the scene to check it out.
Zhao Yuan and Director Jiang Guoping drove together to that wasteland.
Standing on the wasteland, Zhao Yuan looked around and felt secretly delighted.
This land truly met his expectations; it had excellent transportation access and no worries about demolition. He believed that as long as the government intervened, the land issue could be easily resolved.
Zhao Yuan gratefully thanked Director Jiang Guoping and said he would expedite the project's progress.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Guoping, Zhao Yuan rushed back to Zhao's Food Factory without stopping.
Back at the factory, Zhao Yuan immediately summoned relevant personnel to arrange follow-up work.
Then, he called Zhao Jieyuan to return to Zhaojia Village together.
When Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jieyuan arrived at the pig farm, the main construction was basically completed, and the workers were putting the finishing touches on it. In another day or two, the pig farm would be successfully completed.
Zhao Yuan was very satisfied with this, and he believed that the new pig farm would bring greater development opportunities to the Zhao family.
Zhao Yuan walked around the pig farm.
When Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jieyuan returned home, the pigs in the pigsty were ready to be sold, and there were also pigs collected from various villages.
Zhao Jieyuan and Yu Hongmei kept their home very well, and the pig slaughtering area was also very clean. There was no smell in the entire pig farm, and Zhao Yuan was very satisfied.
“Jieyuan, I plan to build the entire pig farm at once. Once the new farm is operational, the number of pigs we can currently receive will definitely not be enough, so we will have to raise them ourselves. What are your thoughts?”
Zhao Yuan asked.
"We'll still work for you."
Zhao Jieyuan said.
“Yes, Yu Hongmei is getting more and more work. Do you know anyone who can help her? We can hire two more people to assist her.”
Zhao Yuan said to Yu Hongmei.
“We are indeed a bit too busy right now. Li Dandan from the fourth team is reliable, quick and efficient, and honest and trustworthy. She also wants to come and work here. I will talk to her tomorrow and ask her to help out first.”
Yu Hongmei said.
"Okay, let's hire one person first. Then hire someone who specializes in collecting straw, sweet potato vines, and corn stalks to be responsible for cutting and fermenting the feed."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Why don't you invite your brother-in-law Zhao Sanhai? He's an honest man, and he can't say anything at home. Now that Xuefang works in your factory, he can't hold his head up at home. If you invite him, it can shut your father-in-law up."
Zhao Jieyuan said.
"Okay, I'll go find Zhao Sanhai later."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Jieyuan, tomorrow you post an advertisement at the brigade headquarters and the commune gate, announcing the purchase of large quantities of straw, corn stalks, corn kernels, and sweet potato vines."
Zhao Yuan spoke as he walked out.
"Ok."
Zhao Jieyuan said.
Zhao Yuan went to Lin Xuefang's house, but no one was home. He asked a neighbor and was told that Zhao Sanhai had gone to the field in front of the house. Zhao Yuan went to the field to look for Zhao Sanhai and offered him a cigarette.
"Brother-in-law, you're back."
Zhao Sanhai took the cigarette.
“I need someone to collect straw, corn stalks, corn kernels and sweet potato vines, and to chop all of these things up to make fermented feed. It’s 35 yuan a month. Do you want to come?”
Zhao Yuan asked.
"I'll do it."
Zhao Sanhai took a drag of his cigarette and gave a very straightforward answer.
"Next month, the pig offal washing will be done in the village before being transported to the county town. Xuefang can then work in the village, which will be more convenient for you. Also, you can learn to drive a tractor; I'll buy one too."
Zhao Yuan said.
“Okay, I’ll go to the county to learn tomorrow. I heard from Zhao Jieyuan that I can learn it in just one day.”
Zhao Sanhai said.
"You should study with Zhao Jieyuan at home first, so it will be easier for you to take the exam in the county."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, I'll go find Zhao Jieyuan. Thank you, brother-in-law."
Zhao Sanhai said.
"Ah."
Zhao Yuan said as he walked home.
"Zhaoyuan, you're back. You're such a busy man these days, it's rare to see you. Now that you're successful, you don't even take your brothers with you."
Zhao San called out to Zhao Yuan from behind.
"Zhao San, why are you wandering around in broad daylight instead of working in the fields?"
Since the false police report, Zhao Yuan has been avoiding Zhao San, and Zhao San and Li Dawen know they are in the wrong and are too embarrassed to approach Zhao Yuan.
But seeing that many people in the village had made money working at Zhaoyuan's factory, he naturally felt envious. Today, when he heard that Zhaoyuan had returned to the village, he shamelessly came up to chat with him.
"I just heard you were back, and I just came back from the fields."
Zhao San said with a grin.
"You wouldn't come to my temple without a reason. So, what do you want?"
Zhao Yuan said calmly.
“Look, many people in the village are working at your factory now. Could you arrange some jobs for me and Li Dawen as well? We promise to do a great job for you.”
Zhao San followed behind Zhao Yuan.
"Our factory does not hire people who can't stand to see others doing well."
Zhao San said with a serious expression.
"Brother Zhao, please forgive us for our foolishness. We were just confused for a moment. Please, since we grew up together, could you arrange some work for Li Dawen and me in your factory?"
Zhao San wasn't angry when he heard Zhao Yuan say that.
"Hmm, let me think. The pig farm is still under construction. We'll talk about it after it's finished. The factory in the county isn't suitable for you and Li Dawen. You two should learn to drive a tractor in the meantime."
Zhao Yuan said.
“Li Dawen and I are not a good match, but our wives are.”
Zhao San said.
"Also, our factory doesn't hire people who beat their wives. Anyone who does will be fired. Drinking alcohol is not allowed during working hours. Can you keep those promises?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
