Chapter 560: Disagreement 1
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao looked at each other, and Zhou Mingxuan spoke as a representative.
"Liu Zhiqing didn't have the conditions or experience to raise the cubs, and she didn't want to waste time, so we thought that you, the captain, could arrange for them to be raised in the homes of villagers who had the conditions, and Liu Zhiqing could use those cubs as research subjects to carry out her research.
Thanks to the care of the production team, the two of us earned some money this time. We paid for the poultry chicks that served as research subjects, which can be considered as our contribution.
After all, if Liu Zhiqing succeeds in developing this and really solves these two difficult problems, it will be a blessing for our Xia country.
Although we two are not talented, we also want to contribute to Xia Country."
Before the captain could speak, Wu Sufen spoke first, "Boss, I think this is a good idea.
And don't arrange it at other people's homes, just raise it at home, after all, we have the pig pen and chicken coop, etc. We are also good at raising poultry.
The most important thing is that you, as the team leader, can witness with your own eyes whether Xiaoxue’s methods are feasible.
If it is proven to be feasible, then the idea proposed by Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing to promote breeding in the production team will be feasible.”
The captain pondered for a long time and said, "This is a promising matter, but I still need to discuss it with other cadres."
Zhao Junhao was worried that other people would object and ruin the deal, so he quickly said, "Captain, the money for purchasing the young poultry will be paid by the two of us, so there's no need to discuss this with other people."
“We still need to discuss it, after all, this is a big deal.
And this money cannot be paid by you. If everyone agrees, it must be paid from the public." The captain said.
Zhou Mingxuan said, "Captain, please don't argue with us, just let us go and let us make some contributions to Xia Country.
Otherwise, we can both go out and get more poultry chicks, divide them into two batches, and have the two families raise them separately. They should be fed the same food on weekdays, and the number of times and amounts of feeding should be the same every day.
But if one family's poultry takes what Liu Zhiqing developed, and another family doesn't, we can make a comparison and see whether the effect is obvious or not."
"I think this is a good idea. We should make two batches and compare them, so that others won't disbelieve it later." Wu Sufen said first.
The captain nodded in agreement, “I think this is a good idea too.
How about this, you two come with me, we'll call together other cadres for a meeting and talk to them about this matter.
If they agree, we will start right away and look for all kinds of poultry chicks."
As the captain said this, he got up from the kang and prepared to put on his clothes and go out.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao also got up from the kang and prepared to leave with the captain.
After leaving the captain's house, the three went to the homes of different brigade cadres under the captain's arrangement and called them to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.
The captain just notified us yesterday that apart from winter fishing, winter hunting, and handing in the task pigs, there is nothing else to do, and the team cadres don’t need to stay at the team headquarters. I didn’t expect to be called back for a meeting today, which is very puzzling.
The passers-by had thought about getting information from the three people who had summoned them, but the three insisted on waiting until they arrived at the brigade headquarters and speaking together during the meeting. The brigade cadres could only follow them to the brigade headquarters in confusion.
The captain who arrived first lit a fire and waited for everyone to arrive.
After everyone arrived, Wang Qiang, the more impatient leader of the second production team, asked first, "Captain, what exactly do you want to say by gathering us together?
Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing are here too. Are they still talking about starting breeding in the production team?
Didn't we already agree before that this thing won't work and there's nothing to discuss?"
"Yes, Captain, what's going on?
Is it time to organize winter fishing?
I'm afraid it will snow soon, so it's time to organize winter fishing and head into the mountains after the first snow falls."
Everyone gathered around the fire and turned the topic to winter fishing.
When the captain heard this, he quickly signaled everyone to be quiet and explained the matter to everyone in detail.
After hearing the captain's words, everyone started discussing it.
"Captain, Liu Zhiqing's fighting ability is beyond doubt. I admire him very much. His ability in making medicine is also beyond doubt.
But the medicines she made before were for humans, not animals. Moreover, she lived in the city before and had never been in contact with poultry. How could she easily develop medicine for poultry?
Besides, the poultry plague has been around for many years and no one has been able to cure it. How could she easily develop a medicine to prevent and treat it?
By then, all my efforts will be in vain.
If that's the case, why should we spend money and effort to raise some poultry in the middle of winter and let her do research? Are we just going to waste the money?"
"Yes, Captain, Liu Zhiqing is very capable, but not to this extent. Let us ignore the possible losses and go crazy with her."
It is not difficult to hear from everyone's words that the majority are against it.
As the team leader of the fourth production team, Li Jun had more contact with Liu Jingxue on weekdays. Based on his understanding of Liu Jingxue, she was not the kind of person who acted without a purpose and must have been certain about her idea before she came up with it. Therefore, he was the first to stand up and express his agreement.
Li Jun said, "I think this is a good idea. Since there is nothing to do in the winter, why not raise some poultry and let Xiaoxue do research.
If Xiaoxue's research succeeds and she really develops a medicine to prevent and treat the plague and make pigs grow meat, then when the spring comes next year, our production team will be able to work hard, raise more poultry, and make more money.
After five months of hibernation, whether the research can be successfully carried out or not, this time is enough time to produce results.
If the research failed, the loss would not be much. It would be just the money to buy poultry chicks, some straw, soybeans, grass, vegetable leaves and rice bran.
These are not worth much money, and our production team is not yet at the point where we cannot afford to lose even this little money."
At this time, Zhou Mingxuan, who had been listening silently, interrupted and said, "Haozi and I will pay for the poultry chicks. This way, even if we fail, the production team won't lose too much."
After hearing what Zhou Mingxuan said, those who originally held opposing opinions felt a little embarrassed.
"Zhou Zhiqing, if this really happens, the money for buying the poultry chicks cannot be paid by you, but by our production team.
Although I know you don’t need the money, your money didn’t come from the wind after all. Besides, this is our production team’s business, so we can’t ask you to pay for it.”
“We paid this money willingly.
If Liu Zhiqing can really develop this successfully, it will not only be a major event for our production team, but also a major event for the country of Xia.
It is an honor for Mingxuan and I to be able to contribute to this cause that benefits the country and the people.
Mingxuan and I also want to pursue progress. Uncles and brothers must give us this opportunity and let us contribute.
We are not like Liu Zhiqing, who can research medicines but cannot raise poultry, so we can only contribute a little money and show our appreciation." Zhao Junhao said.
After Zhao Junhao said this, everyone didn't know how to refuse.
"It's a bit early to talk about this now. We haven't decided whether to do it or not." Wang Qiang poured cold water on him.
Everyone started discussing it one by one.
On the other side, the team leader and Secretary Xu were talking in whispers, and they reached a consensus.
After everyone discussed it for a while, gradually more and more people agreed with this matter.
