Baosheng said this, and everyone understood that this cooperative is a money-making organization, supervised and even led by the township. Those who want to join can make money together, and they don't have to join.

"Baosheng, if you join our cooperative, do you have to pay anything? Or do you have to do something every year?" A village chief asked at this time.

"No, our cooperative just provides services to the villagers. We don't need to pay a penny or do anything," Baosheng said.

Everyone understands this, so if someone doesn't join, they will be stupid. Even if you join and you have to collect your corn, you don't have to sell it if you think the price is a bit low. This price is decided upon by everyone, and it will definitely be higher than the county corn.

The price is a little lower.

“Now that everyone has heard clearly what cooperatives do, I will talk about the first thing that cooperatives should do.

Each village in our township has a large area, and they all rely on farming. Next year, the cooperative will purchase a batch of tractors to farm the villages in the township, and to plant saplings and then irrigate the villages. Of course, these require money.

of.

How to pay this money? The villagers have no money. We can let them pay after the corn is harvested. There is no need to pick the corn. As long as there is tractor help, the villages will not go hungry every year.

In addition, the cooperative will also provide chemical fertilizers, plastic paper for farming, and all necessary technical services for raising pigs and chickens. All these services cost money. If there is no money now, the committee members will discuss whether this thing can be used

If a villager fails to repay the money he owes to the cooperative, all his rights in the cooperative will be cancelled," Baosheng said.

"Baosheng, your idea is a good one, but the village must be responsible for this cooperative. Our township officer Wang majored in agriculture and forestry at university, so he is the perfect person to be the person in charge," Yang Xiaowei said.

"Okay, anyway, all matters in the cooperative are decided through discussion by the committee members. The township can send someone to be the director of the cooperative, and my dad will be the deputy director.

Next year when villages need tractors for plowing and sowing, I will buy tractors and lease them to cooperatives. This will make it much easier for villages in the township to plow, sow, harvest and transport.

The cooperative committee members will discuss the fees for renting tractors in each village together, so that fairness and justice can be achieved.

The cooperatives send their own people to the county or city to purchase fertilizers, mulch, etc. that each village needs every year. In this way, if you buy more, you can wholesale it at a much cheaper price.

If the cooperative has no money in the early stage, I can personally lend it to the cooperative, and no one of us, including the township, can affect the cooperative's purchase and sale of specialties from each village," Baosheng said.

When many people heard this, they understood Baosheng's good intentions. He established the cooperative by himself, but he only paid a penny, all for the sake of the people in the villages.

Yang Xiaowei didn't say anything when Baosheng said this. As the township head, he represents the attitude of the Mengjiawan Township government. If he really wants to make a decision, he must go back to a meeting to discuss.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, and everyone started talking about the cooperative. Three people from the same village began to discuss who in their village could join the cooperative as a committee member. Although one hundred yuan a month is not much, but in Mengjiawan

It's pretty good for a rural area, but an average family can't save 1,200 yuan a year.

After the meal, the representatives of each village did not leave. They discussed with each other in front of Baosheng's house. Baosheng and Yang Xiaowei entered his room. Gao Guoliang did not follow them. Everyone knew that Baosheng had gone to discuss matters with the township chief.

"Baosheng, you are taking a step too far. Have you ever thought about cooperation. If the members do not consider each other and seek benefits from it, the cooperative may very well become a harmful thing." Yang Xiaowei was still thinking about the cooperative that Baosheng said.

I couldn't help but remind him of it.

“The cooperative’s accounts are all transparent. If any village representative dares to reach out to the cooperative, he or she will be immediately disqualified from being a member. If all members of a village are corrupt, then that village’s membership will be disqualified, and the village members will be merged into the nearest other village.

Our committee members are not officials, so it is very easy to change them. In the future, the cooperative will definitely cooperate with other townships in Yuyang County, and the selection and rights of committee members will continue to change." Baosheng said.

"I think it's not enough to put an ordinary clerk in charge of the cooperative. How about putting a deputy township head in charge? Can what this cooperative does be considered a major event in the township?" Yang Xiaowei suddenly said.

"No, please don't! The cooperative is originally a very simple organization. If village leaders are involved, it will be complicated!" Baosheng shouted hurriedly.

"Okay, let Mr. Wang take charge of this matter. I'll ask him to come to Uncle Gao tomorrow to see how the cooperative should be started." Yang Xiaowei only thinks that this cooperative is a good thing, but he is actually not sure how useful it will be.

Not sure.

"Well, our cooperative will be established on January 1st. At that time, we will first count how many households in each village raise livestock and poultry. Then let the cooperative buy some feed and deliver it to each household. Everyone will see the effect of the feed.

Will slowly use feed to breed.

Feed breeding can greatly shorten the breeding time and earn more money. More importantly, more livestock means more feces. Feces can improve soil quality and facilitate plant growth, which also promotes sand control and afforestation.

In addition, our township does not have any factories and enterprises. Jijiagou feeds are sold in large quantities. Only when the scale is large can we attract feed buyers from other townships. In the future, when the feed factories in our township grow bigger and can be sold to other counties and cities, that will be possible.

It drives the economy of a township," Baosheng said.

"Stop drawing cakes for me, tell me your purpose today!" Yang Xiaowei agreed with Baosheng. He would go back to the city this time. If the city can support him, he is confident that the Meng family will soon be

Bay Township has changed dramatically.

"My goal! I want to contract the forest area, or even the desert!" Baosheng said.

"Contracting the desert? What's the use of contracting the desert? You don't want to monopolize the subsidy, do you?" Yang Xiaowei was surprised.

Every tree in the newly built desert forest area cannot be cut down, and the desert cannot produce anything. What is the use of contracting without any profit?

“If this sand control and afforestation work is to be truly sustainable, and no longer require continued funding from the city, the desert must be handed over to private individuals or companies.

In this way, the county and village levels are responsible. The funds and energy spent by the city are beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Baosheng said and saw Yang Xiaowei nodded. The subsidies allocated by the city for sand prevention and afforestation can only be counted as prevention.

A small part of the cost of sand afforestation, and everyone knows how much of this part is left in the hands of the people.

"Even if we work hard to expand the forest area in Gaojiawan Village to tens of thousands of acres, if we want to defend this part of the forest area, we will still have to hand over the forest area to others to manage, because no one is responsible, and soon the desert will

Will come back again.

Then leave it to a rich company! How could the villagers in our village be willing? They may not be able to take care of these trees, so it is better to leave some forest areas and deserts to me from the beginning.

, the city will give me the subsidy when the time comes." Baosheng said.

"Then what if you kill all the trees and the sand control belt is submerged by sand again? Who can take the responsibility then?" Yang Xiaowei looked at Baosheng and said cautiously.

"The township can step up its review! If the contractor mismanages the contracted area, the township can not only withhold the subsidy, but also take back the forest area and desert if it is serious, so everything is still under the management of the township, but now it has changed from a village to a village.

Now that I have become a person, does this make the problem simpler?" Baosheng asked.

"How do you make a profit from this?" Yang Xiaowei asked. This is what he is most concerned about. Who would be willing to contract without making a profit? He felt that with Baosheng's ability, if he could not make a big profit, he would not spend so much effort doing this.

.

"Profit? This is too simple. If I maintain these woods well, I can plant economic trees in three years. I can earn at least a few hundred yuan per acre of walnut trees a year. If I contract hundreds of acres, I can earn 100 yuan a year."

Has an income of hundreds of thousands.

If the trees grow bigger, I can open a large-scale breeding factory in this forest area and engage in ecological breeding, so that I can earn more." Baosheng replied.

"When we came here, you said you could make money in the village. What happened?" Yang Xiaowei asked.

"When I contract forest areas and deserts, I naturally have to pay money. This is different from the subsidy for sand control and afforestation. I will definitely hire people to plant sand control grass and plant trees and irrigation by then. I will definitely do it then.

Employ rural people through cooperatives.

This can solve the living problems of some extremely poor households in our township, and our township no longer has to spend energy on the extremely poor households. You know better than me what this means.

I can only contract some forest areas in the first year, and if I do well next year, I can continue to expand the scale of the contract. Then when I make money relying on these forest areas or deserts, our villagers will definitely be the first to follow, so that everyone contracts the forest areas.

Areas and deserts, are we worried that the sand prevention and afforestation work in our township will not be done well?" Baosheng said.

"Then how do you think the forest area should be contracted, and how should the desert be contracted?" Yang Xiaowei felt that what Baosheng said made sense, but he still didn't understand some of the key points.

"The price of contracted forest areas is definitely different from that of deserts, and the contracting period is also different. The period of contracted forest areas in China is 30 to 70 years. If it is a mature forest area, one acre of land will cost 10 years per year.

RMB to RMB 30 is suitable. If it is a small sapling, it will cost less than RMB 5 per acre.

If it is a desert, it is promised that there will be no contracting fees for 10 years. What the desert will be transformed into each year can be stated in an agreement. Moreover, the contracting period for such places should be 70 years, because these places may not make any profits in more than ten or twenty years.

The contracting fee can be set at a maximum point, such as 30 yuan per acre, and the annual contracting fee for all forest areas shall not increase by more than 10%. If someone does not want to continue contracting the forest area, he can discuss with others to sell the forest area to others, and the township

You can also continue to receive contracting fees.

Our Mengjiawan area is vast and sparsely populated. If contracting becomes popular, how much contracting fees will the township get every year? This desert prevention and afforestation work will become simpler, and the township only needs to do a good job of supervision," Baosheng said.

"What you said is very good, but if you don't have enough strength to contract forest areas and deserts, no one can afford it. You can make profits in three years, but others may not be able to. By then, someone will take care of the forest for seven or eight years, and it won't be enough yet."

When felling trees, they invested a lot, what if they don’t want to continue the contract?" Yang Xiaowei had a lot on his mind.

In the desert forest area, even if the trees have grown up and become useful, they need to be reviewed before they can be cut down. When a tree grows up, it can be cut down. After cutting down, a new sapling needs to be planted quickly. Baosheng can make profits from the forest area within three years.

, others cannot.

"Don't we have a cooperative here? The township contracts the forest area to everyone, and is not allowed to review their ability? If it really can't persist in the middle, it means that the township's supervision responsibility is not in place.

Even if someone does get to this point in the end, we can let people who no longer want to contract the forest area talk to the cooperative first, or the cooperative can give him a loan, subcontract, etc.," Baosheng said.

"Then all this is really no problem. What is important now is that the cooperative you mentioned must have the effect you expected, otherwise it will have no effect by then and the township will have to deal with the mess in the end." Yang Xiaowei was still a little worried.

“If we contract forest areas and deserts to the people, we will definitely not be able to sell them in one step.

I said that I can try it first. I am not afraid of losses. As long as this road can be followed, then our shortcomings in Mengjiawan Township will become advantages. Others should not consider how to make a profit before contracting the forest area? What if?

If the cooperative cannot play its role, then I will lose nothing if I contract the forest area and township alone.

In my opinion, no one will choose to contract forest areas for at least three years, let alone deserts. The set of sand prevention and afforestation methods we discussed when we came back still need to be implemented," Baosheng said.

Yang Xiaowei was silent for a while and did not speak. Baosheng's suggestion gave him a lot of inspiration. From the surface, there were no loopholes in Baosheng's plan. Everyone knew that he had a heart for the people, and he could afford it even if he lost money.

"How many forest areas and how many deserts do you plan to contract?" Yang Xiaowei thought for a moment and asked.

"Now I'm just trying. I want to contract 500 acres of forest area and 2,000 acres of desert. Let's put it on the east side of the forest area in our village! There will be some new forest and old forest each, and the desert is also next to the forest area. This contracted forest area

Our contract must be well written. I accept any form of supervision from the township. However, if the forest area and desert are being transformed according to the township's requirements, the township has no right to take back my forest land.

Moreover, my forest area will be contracted for at least 50 years, and the desert will be contracted for 70 years. I have the right to pay all future contracting fees for the forest area in one lump sum at any time. By then, as long as the forest area is not degraded, the woods and land here will be at my disposal.

"Baosheng said.

"You only have the right to use the land, and generally the forest area cannot be used for other purposes. If you want to do so, the township must agree." Yang Xiaowei reminded.
