Siheyuan: Married Lou Xiao'e at the beginning

Chapter 160: Resolutely and decisively solve the problem

This is already very good. This is the better off they have been since Sun Xiaoshan came. Normally, they don’t have so many pickles, such soup, and the pancakes are not this big.

"Can everyone be full with just these things?"

His environment was harsh and the conditions were difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. It was okay to eat simpler food, but at least it could fill him up. After eating these two pancakes, he was only half full.

Not to mention those who have a big appetite, this is too little.

"Our food rations are limited, and the government hasn't allocated much grain. We have to wait until sowing and autumn harvest, which will take several months."

"That's right. We may not be able to enjoy the autumn harvest because we have too many people."

Director Zhang had no other choice, as the entire farm now had more than 200 people, and their farm had just been established, so they didn't have any food of their own.

Things will be much better once they grow their own food.

"When will the autumn harvest come? It will take at least four months. During these four months, what else do we plant besides crops? Vegetables and fruits, and we raise chickens, ducks, and geese."

They wanted to, but they had no money. The money they were given by the government was almost gone, and they had no money to buy these things.

While eating, Zhang Kaiqian and the people in front of him told Sun Xiaoshan about the situation on the farm.

"After dinner, notify all personnel above the level of team leader to come to the office for a meeting so we can discuss the next plan."

After Sun Xiaochuan finished speaking, he left, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion and whispering about something.

"Old Qian, what does our director mean? We need money and food now. As long as one of the two is solved, we can develop."

"But these two are difficult to solve."

They all know that now they either have money or food, but they have nothing now. They have no money and no food. What can they do?

"Okay, everyone, stop talking. Let's listen to the factory manager's arrangements when the time comes. Whether there is a way or not won't be clear until the site manager makes the decision."

Everyone was curious, but they didn't say much. After all, they were also expecting a miracle to happen.

After Sun Xiaoshan returned to his room, he took out two stacks of money, each stack containing 2 yuan.

This is his salary and allowance, and this money can be spent. Among them, 2 yuan was given to him by Zhao Zhengwei, which can be regarded as compensation and start-up capital.

With these 4 yuan, he should be able to bring new life to the farm.

When everyone arrived at the office, they saw Sun Xiaoshan walking in with a backpack.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Sun Xiaoshan. Our factory director used to be the director of the Red Star Automobile Factory. From now on, I will be your colleague here. I have a few ideas to share and would like to hear your opinions."

No one said anything, but just clapped quietly, waiting for Sun Xiaoshan's next words.

"The first thing is to solve the water problem. I took a look at our drilling rig this morning and it doesn't seem to be a big problem. I can fix it."

There was a sigh from the audience. They didn't expect that the factory director was so capable. They had asked many professionals to fix the drilling rig but none of them could fix it. However, their factory director said that it was not a big problem.

Although they knew that Sun Xiaoshan was a technical person, they didn't expect his skills to be so powerful.

"Give me a few days and I will fix it. I also have a way to find water sources. Find two literate people to learn this method of finding water sources with me, and then arrange people to form a well-drilling team."

"The purpose of establishing a well-drilling team is to make profits for our farm. You should understand what I mean. What is the most lacking in the Northwest? It is water. As long as we can find the water source and drill a well with water, we can make money."

Hearing him say that he wanted to organize his own drilling team and then go out to make money, Zhang Kaiqian became a little nervous. He raised his hand and wanted to speak. After seeing Sun Xiaoshan nod, he spoke.

"Captain, do we need to consult our superiors about this matter?"

This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small one either. If they can independently establish some mechanisms, they need approval from above. Otherwise, it would be just speculative shooting.

Sun Xiaoshan took out a document from the space, which gave him a kind of autonomous rights, and their farm was directly under the central government and no longer under local jurisdiction.

"This is a right specially granted to us by our superiors. We can be self-reliant. As long as we do not cross these three red lines, we can implement it. Please take a look at this document."

Everyone was shocked after seeing this document. They did not expect that Sun Xiaoshan's arrival would bring such great power and independent management rights, which they had never dared to imagine.

"Okay, I think everyone has no objection to the first thing."

Everyone nodded without objection, because there were only a dozen people in the room, and they all wanted to have enough food and clothes and make the farm better.

They are willing to take risks and try new things as long as it can make the farm better.

"Since everyone has no objection, then I will talk about the second thing. The second thing is living place. We have to make bricks and build it ourselves."

"It should be okay to live in this dugout now, but it will be very troublesome to sit in it in winter."

"And we can't always live in this situation on our farm. Our farm will grow, people will get married and have children, and they will need special accommodation, so we need our own house, and at the same time we can also make bricks and sell them to others."

"I've looked at the soil here and it's very suitable for making bricks. I have a method for making red bricks and a method for building a brick kiln. Let's take a look."

Sun Xiaoshan didn't even give everyone time to react. He directly handed the second piece of information to everyone and asked them to check. Among the dozen or so people among them, there were still some who knew how to burn bricks. After a general inspection, they found that this brick kiln was much better than the brick kilns they usually used.

If they could really build this kind of brick kiln, the bricks produced would be enough for their own use and they could even sell them to other places.

"Manager, this method is feasible, but we have no food now and we don't have enough money to buy these things."

Captain Yang spoke at this time. They had no money, no food, and no equipment. How could they build these things?

Sun Xiaoshan didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Kaiqian.

"Director Zhang, if we follow what I just said, how much money do we need to invest in the early stages?"

After a simple calculation, Zhang Kaiqian and the people around him quickly gave a number.

"It should cost about 15,000 yuan to do it."

Sun Xiaoshan directly took out 2 yuan and handed it to Zhang Kaiqiandao.

"This is the support we get from above. If it's not enough, I will have some more."

"Before the autumn harvest, we will raise some chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, all herbivorous animals. Our wasteland is large enough to raise these animals."
