Speaking of wormwood, it is now a treasure of Xiaogou Village. Now, not only Xiaogou Village, but also the villages and towns around Xiaogou Village and even the entire Robin County, there are many people who are exposed to this wormwood.
In the past, there seemed to be some foot doctors in the countryside near Xiaogou Village who occasionally used it to treat people's illnesses. Others were not of great use. Ordinary people would occasionally use it at home, such as foot soaks and acupuncture. Anyway, they were never seen. It comes in handy. If you really encounter minor illnesses such as headache, fever, cold, and cough, most people will still choose to go to the clinic for injections and medicine. The medicinal effect of this mugwort is not taken seriously by people, so at the beginning When Xiaogou Village established the "National Grassland", it really attracted a lot of criticism. Everyone is worried about this thing that is everywhere in the mountains and plains. Who are you going to sell it to? This thing is not available anywhere. It can still be sold for the price of pork. Just blow it hard. Therefore, when Guocao was established, especially when every household in Xiaogou Village was asked to sign to join the "company plus farmer mugwort production system" established by Guocao, many villagers were With a wait-and-see attitude, not much enthusiasm, except for Li Weihua and Tang Ziqing, who were dedicated to tinkering with national grass at that time, they got a few families to sign the agreement, and nothing else was done.
What really makes the villagers of Xiaogou Village feel that the mugwort thing is a bit reliable is that the newly established Guocao is poor and useless, but they don¡¯t know what kind of divine blessing, someone actually signed a contract with this shell company with no foundation. A purchase agreement for mugwort and a deposit of 500,000 was paid as soon as the agreement was signed. This 500,000 yuan is not much if you put it outside, but if you get it to Xiaogou Village. If I¡¯m not afraid of other people¡¯s jokes, the more than 1,000 people of all ages in Xiaogou Village have never seen what 500,000 people are piled together in their lives. The person who signed the mugwort purchase agreement with Xiaogou Village was Xuanyuan Dao, who was also unknown at the time. When Xuanyuan Dao handed over the 500,000 advance payment to Guo Cao. There was a sensation in Xiaogou Village. The whole village, young and old, girls, wives, old ladies and children all rushed to the old house in the village hall, scrambling to see what the 500,000 yuan looked like when piled together. For the safety of these 500,000 yuan , the village chief Li Weihua organized a group of strong men from the village protection team to build a wall of people at the gate of the village office hand in hand. All those who came to see could only look outside the village office window. They were not allowed to look inside. The 500,000 yuan was on display at the village hall for two days. Two large 100-watt light bulbs were turned on at night, and more than a dozen men took turns guarding outside in several shifts. Just like protecting a national treasure. For other villagers in Xiaogou Village, when they saw the bright red stacks of RMB, many people were a little moved, thinking that the mugwort matter was a little more serious.
With this 500,000 yuan as a base, Guocao, which was founded just a few years ago, circled a piece of land to the east of Xiaogou Village. The first factory building was built. The factory building at that time seems to be quite simple now. It was just a piece of land of about five acres. After it was leveled, a pole was planted. I pulled a wire over and connected a water pipe as thick as a cucumber. Then we built a few brick and concrete houses with asbestos tiles.
When they saw the 500,000 yuan, dozens more families in Xiaogou Village signed agreements with the country. When Guocao's factory was built, dozens more households signed the agreement, but the total number was less than one-third of the total number of households in Xiaogou Village. For many villagers who have been digging in the fields for generations - - Holding a hoe in hand is not a big crime - this sentence is a motto that many people adhere to throughout their lives. When the factory was built, there were many people watching the excitement, but the eyes of the people watching the excitement were fixed on the factory yard. There was a several-acre flat cement floor there. How good the ground was. Many people were jealous and thought to themselves, if this factory collapsed, this flat cement floor would belong to the village. The land is much better than the one in the threshing floor in the village. In the future, those who dry wheat, thresh, and stack corn stalks and haystacks here will take up a piece of land at any cost This was what many people thought at the time. Of course, things changed. Now, if you ask a person in Xiaogou Village casually, even if he was beaten to death, he would never admit that he had such dirty thoughts at that time. He would definitely assure you with a thumping sound on his chest - when he heard it With Guocao's reputation, I feel that this factory will definitely be successful in the future
And what really makes those people in Xiaogou Village who have been waiting and watching take action is when Guocao pays those who signed the agreement.
The mugwort that is everywhere in the fields and mountains is cut and the mugwort leaves are left behind. They do not even need to be washed. They are dried and browned on the ground just like making pickles. Once the initial processing is completed, you can get the national grass for delivery. This As long as the initially processed mugwort leaves pass the inspection, the purchase price set by Guocao at that time was 8 yuan per kilogram. This price was also the reason why many people did not believe it. The rice was only 3.5 yuan per kilogram. This family How much can you grow with all your hard work throughout the year? Is it possible that your weeds can be sold more expensively than rice just by drying them?
The answer is, maybe! When the first batch of villagers joined the cooperative, each household carried mugwort to Guocao for delivery, and the household that delivered the most was Tang.When Qing's brother's family got the first cash payment of more than 1,000 yuan from Guocao, the whole Xiaogou Village was boiling. Many people were dumbfounded. It was true, and the weeds in the mountains were really sold. It¡¯s more expensive than rice. What¡¯s wrong with the world? Many people can't figure it out, but it doesn't matter if they can't. It's true to seize the benefits in front of you. Maybe there won't be this store after passing this village. It's hard to say what will happen in the future
So, almost overnight, the gate of Guocao was almost broken down by the surging villagers from Xiaogou Village. Every remaining household in Xiaogou Village couldn't wait to sign a supply agreement with Guocao. During those days, now Thinking about it still makes the old people in Xiaogou Village sigh. What should they do when they see that those mugworts that are usually just like weeds suddenly become more valuable than the crops in the field, and they may never have this opportunity again in the future? Hurry up and grab some time, what else can you do? Suddenly, the wormwood in front and back of the house in the village of Xiaogou Village suddenly became a treasure, and it was wiped out in an instant. Not only that, at that time, every household, old and young, came to the battle, and the oldest seven-year-old The sight of eighty-year-olds and the youngest five or six-year-old holding torches and flashlights at night, carrying rice balls and kettles, and men and women cutting mugwort all day and night in the mountains is really unforgettable. Looking back now, at that time The enthusiasm that burst out from the villagers of Xiaogou was just a mess of work without organization or discipline, and it was different from now. The mugwort must be cut, but attention must be paid to resource protection. Only the small ones that have grown to a certain height are left behind, and When cutting mugwort, don't cut off its main trunk. Only pick its branches and leaves. The water will flow slowly, and some seeds will be artificially left every year. At that time, everyone thought that harvesting mugwort was a one-time deal. When this fool spent all his money, there would be no such good thing again. Who would pay attention to this? Naturally, there are quick hands and slow hands, and everyone is afraid. There was no such shop after passing this village, so I completely swept away all the mugwort around Xiaogou Village.
In just a few weeks, more than 20 tons of pre-processed mugwort accumulated in Guocao's warehouse. When these more than 20 tons of mugwort arrived at Guocao's warehouse, the villagers of Xiaogou Village suddenly had it in their hands. In total, there was an extra two hundred thousand yuan in cash. This nearly two hundred thousand yuan was like water. When it arrived in Xiaogou Village, it immediately revived the closed minds of the villagers in Xiaogou Village, and many more families Generally speaking, they have only been busy for less than half a month, which is much easier than going to the fields. However, the money earned by the family is more than the money saved by digging food in the fields for more than half a year. The perspective of the villagers in Xiaogou Village has changed from From that moment on, for the first time, they lifted up from the land that their ancestors had cultivated for hundreds of years and began to look into the distance
That is to say, in the first year of Guocao's establishment, all its deeply processed mugwort products, mainly moxa velvet and moxa sticks, were purchased by Xuanyuan Dao. That year, Guocao's after-tax profits from selling mugwort reached 3.78 million yuan. This is a truly astronomical figure. After excluding the development funds retained by Guocao, as a collective enterprise, Guocao spent a total of 1.56 million yuan at the end of the year as year-end dividends for the villagers of Xiaogou Village. At the end of the year, the villagers in Gou Village received an average of more than 1,200 yuan per person. This was definitely a big sum for the villagers of Xiaogou Village at that time. This amount of money, coupled with the money that the villagers of Xiaogou Village usually earned from tinkering with mugwort, meant that every household in Xiaogou Village had to pay a lot of money at the end of the year. At that time, it was at least five to six thousand yuan more than before. For a village like Xiaogou Village in the middle of the mountains, this was unprecedented. A few years ago, Liu Zhugui was still arrogant in Xiaogou Village. When you are lucky, many people's family savings may not even reach 5,000.
This dividend has completely changed the mental outlook of the people in Xiaogou Village. Among the dozen or so towns around Robin County, Xiaogou Village has completely become famous because of this year-end dividend. This can be said to be the only Scorpion Baba in Robin County. In the past, everyone had only heard of some rural areas with good conditions in developed areas such as provincial cities and coastal areas. Because township enterprises are well run and local income is large, farmers in the villages have a lot of money to distribute as dividends at the end of the year, but this Good things have always had nothing to do with the people in this corner of Robin County. Unexpectedly, this time, Xiaogou Village, which was so poor that it was so poor, suddenly entered the mainstream. This is amazing. . From then on, when the villagers of Xiaogou Village went outside and talked about their hometown, they would always proudly say: I am from Xiaogou Village
What this dividend has changed is not only the unchanging material poverty and backwardness of Xiaogou Village, but more importantly, the spiritual outlook of the villagers in Xiaogou Village has also undergone tremendous changes, and a new moral and family atmosphere has also begun. Moving slowly in Xiaogou Village
A series of profound changes behind Xiaogou Village began
