Chapter 370: Years of Settlement, Continuing the Past and Opening the Future
As Cui Gu Village became famous, the attention of surrounding villages began to focus on it.
This year, Li Fugui, the village chief of a neighboring village, brought several village representatives to Cuigu Village, hoping to learn from Wang Dashan how to develop and expand the village's industries.
Wang Dashan received them warmly and took them to the village meeting room.
As soon as Li Fugui sat down, he couldn't wait to say, "Dashan, your Cuigu Village has developed so much in the past few years that it's really enviable! Our village also wants to develop, but we can't find the direction. You have to give us some advice."
Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Fugui, don't say that. We are all here to help our fellow villagers live a good life, so we should learn from each other. In fact, the key to developing industries is to combine the actual situation of the village and find the characteristics. Does your village have any special resources or advantages?"
Li Fugui frowned and thought for a while, then said, "There is a large hillside in our village that has been left barren. I don't know what to do with it."
Wang Dashan's eyes lit up and he said, "Then you can consider planting some cash crops. Just like our village developed the walnut industry, we also crossed the river by feeling the stones at the beginning. You can ask agricultural experts to take a look at the soil and climate conditions of that hillside, and see what is suitable for planting, and then make plans."
A villager representative from a neighboring village asked doubtfully: "Even if we know what to plant, where will the technology and funds come from? We don't have much money in our village."
Wang Dashan patiently explained: "In terms of technology, you can seek help from the county's agricultural department, and they will generally send experts to provide guidance. As for funding, on the one hand, you can apply for government support funds, and on the other hand, you can mobilize villagers to raise funds on their own, or look for companies willing to invest. When our village first developed the walnut industry, we also raised funds everywhere. Although the process was difficult, as long as everyone works together, we can always solve it."
Li Fugui listened, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Dashan, what you said makes sense. Let's go back and try it as you said. By the way, your village's e-commerce live streaming is so successful, we also want to try it, but we don't know much about it, how can we do it?"
Wang Dashan stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and said as he drew: "E-commerce live streaming is a new thing, but it is not difficult. First of all, you need a team that understands the Internet and knows how to operate it. You can find some young people in the village and let them learn relevant knowledge first. Then, you need to prepare live streaming equipment, such as cameras and microphones. The most important thing is to have enough knowledge about the products in your village so that you can introduce them to the audience vividly during the live broadcast."
Then, Wang Dashan shared some experiences and skills of the Cuigu Village e-commerce live broadcast team, explaining in detail everything from how to attract audiences into the live broadcast room, to how to interact with the audience, and to how to promote sales.
The villagers from the neighboring village listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time, and Wang Dashan patiently answered them one by one.
After the exchange, Li Fugui held Wang Dashan's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Dashan, thank you so much! Your words have made us feel more at ease. When our village develops in the future, we will definitely thank you very much."
Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Fugui, don't be so polite. We are all from the same county, and we should help each other. I hope your village can develop as soon as possible so that the villagers can live a good life."
After seeing off the guests from the neighboring village, Wang Dashan returned to the office. Before he had time to sit down, he heard a commotion coming from outside.
He hurried out and saw two young men from the village, Zhang Erhu and Liu San, arguing.
Wang Dashan walked up to them and asked seriously, "What's going on between the two of you? If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why are you arguing?"
Zhang Erhu said angrily: "Village head, please give me some justice. I worked hard in the walnut orchard, but Liu San was lazy and slack off. When the harvest was distributed, he wanted to take the same amount as me. How can this be justified!"
Liu San was not to be outdone and retorted: "How am I lazy? I just felt unwell today and worked a little slower. Besides, I usually work hard, so why do you say I'm lazy?"
Wang Dashan looked at the two and said earnestly, "Erhu, San'er, our village can achieve today's development thanks to everyone's unity and cooperation. You two are both young people in the village. You should contribute to the development of the village instead of arguing over such a small matter."
He turned to Zhang Erhu and said, "Erhu, you are usually conscientious and responsible in your work, and everyone can see that. But Liu San is not feeling well today, so we have to be considerate of him. We are all from the same village, so we should understand each other."
Then, he said to Liu San, "San'er, if you feel unwell, you can tell everyone and everyone will help you. But don't argue with others over this matter in the future. Our village's industry is developing better and better, and the work tasks in the future will become heavier. We need everyone to work together to get things done."
After hearing what Wang Dashan said, Zhang Erhu and Liu San both lowered their heads and felt very ashamed.
Zhang Erhu said, "Village Chief, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so impulsive and didn't consider Liu San's situation."
Liu San also quickly said: "Village Chief, I was wrong too. I will work hard in the future and will not let you down again."
Wang Dashan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now that you all recognize your mistakes, let's shake hands and make peace. The development of our village depends on the efforts of everyone. Only when we unite as one can we build Cuigu Village better."
Zhang Erhu and Liu San smiled at each other, stretched out their hands and held them tightly.
Seeing the two of them reconciled, Wang Dashan showed a relieved smile on his face.
After dealing with the affairs in the village, Wang Dashan began to think about the future development of Cuigu Village.
He knew that with the development of the times, it was not enough to rely solely on existing industries, and he had to constantly explore new development directions.
On this day, Wang Dashan came to the county to attend an agricultural development seminar.
At the meeting, he heard an expert introduce the concept of ecological agriculture and was deeply inspired.
Ecological agriculture can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also improve the quality and safety of agricultural products, which is in line with the future development trend of agriculture.
After returning to the village, Wang Dashan immediately convened a meeting of village cadres and technicians to introduce the concept of ecological agriculture to them.
He said: "Although our village has developed well in recent years, we cannot be satisfied with the status quo. I think ecological agriculture is a good development direction. We can introduce the model of ecological agriculture on the basis of the existing walnut industry and other characteristic industries to further improve the competitiveness of our agricultural products."
A technician asked: "Village head, what should we do specifically?"
Wang Dashan said: "For example, we can reduce the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers and adopt biological control and organic fertilizers. This can not only ensure the quality of walnuts and other crops, but also protect our ecological environment. We can also develop some ecological breeding projects, such as raising chickens and ducks in walnut orchards. Chickens and ducks can eat pests, and their feces can be used as fertilizer, forming a virtuous ecological cycle."
After listening to Wang Dashan's words, everyone felt that they made sense and expressed their support.
Thus, Cui Gu Village began its exploration of ecological agriculture.
In the process of promoting ecological agriculture, Wang Dashan encountered many difficulties.
Some villagers do not understand the new planting and breeding methods and are worried that it will affect the harvest.
Wang Dashan went door to door to explain to them the benefits of ecological agriculture.
He said to an old villager, "Uncle, look at how well our village is developing now. But if we don't pay attention to protecting the environment, what will happen to our future generations? Although ecological agriculture may be a little troublesome at the beginning, it will be very beneficial to the development of our village in the long run. Moreover, by adopting the methods of ecological agriculture, our agricultural products can be sold at a better price, and everyone's income will be higher."
Under Wang Dashan's patient persuasion, the villagers gradually accepted the concept of ecological agriculture and began to actively participate in the construction of ecological agriculture.
After a period of hard work, the ecological agriculture in Cuigu Village has begun to show results.
The number of pests and diseases in the walnut orchard has been reduced, and the quality of the walnuts has been significantly improved.
Ecologically raised chickens and ducks are also very popular in the market, bringing extra income to the village.
Looking at the changes in the village, Wang Dashan's heart was filled with joy.
He knew that Cui Gu Village had taken another solid step towards prosperity and strength.
Cui Gu Village was particularly lively during the Spring Festival that year.
Every household in the village is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, preparing to welcome the New Year.
The village also held a grand cultural evening, where everyone wrote and performed their own pieces, sang and danced, and celebrated the harvest and achievements of the past year.
