Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

"A whole hunting team and organizing villagers to grow ginseng?"

Upon hearing the women's director's suggestion, Zhang Junhong frowned slightly and began to think seriously.

To be honest, both of these suggestions were feasible for Zhang Junhong.

Organizing hunting teams was Zhang Junhong's forte. He knew all the ins and outs and techniques involved, whether it was dog hunting or stalk hunting.

Even if there are barriers to purchasing hunting dogs and rifles and ordinary villagers cannot afford the corresponding amount of money, they can still pool their superior firearms and organize the villagers to hunt with sticks.

The village office has gun cabinets with firearms and ammunition, and Zhang Junhong also serves as the militia company commander.

When autumn arrives and the leaves begin to fall, organizing villagers to hunt and distribute the game under the guise of clearing out wild animals to prevent autumn disturbances is a good way to win people's hearts.

In addition, arranging for the cultivation of ginseng is also a feasible suggestion.

Xing'an Village is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the villagers here are no strangers to ginseng, a medicinal herb.

There are villages on the east bank of the river that have been planting it for several years. If you want to do it, ask a friend to act as an intermediary, and then learn from them collectively. You can get started within a year at most.

However, the benefits of growing ginseng are not immediately apparent; it will take at least two or three years before it reaches the standards for sale, which is something that needs to be considered.

Zhang Junhong nodded: "Sister Liu is right! We can start organizing the hunting team after the autumn harvest. I'll keep an eye on it and develop suitable team members in private."

When the time comes, we'll gather everyone and head up the mountain to fight several tough battles, ensuring that the villagers have plenty of meat reserves!
As for growing ginseng, I'll ask some knowledgeable friends about it.

As far as I know, there are two types of ginseng cultivation: spring sowing and autumn sowing. We haven't even prepared or divided the land in advance, so it will be a bit difficult to continue!

When I propose discussing this at the village meeting later, and a vote is needed, please remember to vote in favor!

The women's director was very happy to see that her suggestion had been accepted: "I also learned that the Zhou family at the south end of the village seems to have applied to Yue Feng to become a large-scale livestock farmer!"

The Party Secretary allocated five mu of our village's reserve land to Old Zhou for growing vegetables and raising pigs!

This matter was not discussed in a meeting, nor was anyone informed before it was handled directly. There is a problem with the procedure; this is a case of one-man rule!
This is another point we can make use of at the next village committee meeting!

Upon hearing the mention of ceding land, the clerk next to him said, "I have a good relationship with Lao Zhou. He mentioned that this pilot program for large-scale livestock farming was applied for by the village to the town."

But when I asked around in the next village, I found out that there was no such policy in the town at all!

I strongly suspect that the Party Secretary himself brought this up. We could try bringing it up at the next village meeting!

"I also inquired about this in the next village, and they said the same thing. They haven't heard any such news!"

"Even the matter of purchasing and selling mountain products has many irregularities!"

Their accounts and funds are not shared with the village's accounts; they are kept independently, and ordinary villagers and village leaders do not support viewing them!
Isn't this using the collective's name to do personal work?

……

As the old saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. After Zhang Junhong and his group discussed it behind closed doors, they still managed to find quite a few of Yue Feng's "weak points".

The small meeting, held behind closed doors, lasted for more than two hours before it finally ended.

After the group finished their discussion, they tiptoed to the door and left in batches.

……

Over the next few days, Yue Feng and his friends got busy.

The Yue family's old house, Xiao Tao's house, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu's house, the neighbor Lin's house, and Lao Zhanggan's house—these people, being close to the source, were given priority in getting the small well and the press well head first.

In the past few days, the villagers who had signed up with Yue Feng in advance to learn how to dig wells have become a little restless.

The Party Secretary explained the labor costs to the villagers in his own yard: four people working for a morning could earn eight yuan, which would amount to two yuan in their pockets. It was a profitable job.

Within a morning, several groups of people came to Yue Feng's house to inquire about the well-drilling team's recruitment.

Yue Feng was also a little undecided about drilling the well.

This thing isn't exactly a high-tech skill, but it's definitely profitable.

He wasn't thinking about making a profit from the difference; instead, he was considering who to use and who not to use since he didn't need that many people. There were differences in relationships based on closeness and distance.

Unable to make a decision yet, and with his own wells not yet finished being dug, Yue Feng didn't rush to finalize the list of well-drilling personnel.

Just as Yue Feng was struggling with this point, Wang Jianguo's few words directly broke the ice for his son-in-law, and he instantly understood.

Wang Jianguo: "If there are benefits, you have to let your close friends and family benefit from them. Otherwise, why would others support you?"

However, since we ourselves don't care about such petty gains, we can have other considerations.

Besides this one situation, you can also take the opportunity to divide your opponent!

For example, the village clerk is on Old Zhang's side, right?

But his younger brother wanted to join the village's well-drilling team!
His younger brother wants to do this and has come to you, so we need to think about how to respond to him!

After hearing this, the other party will definitely have a clear idea of ​​how to conduct the research!
We don't need gifts, but we must show some respect, right?

If you want this opportunity, don't you have to offer a token of your loyalty?

What did they say in their private meeting? Should I tell you some of the content and direction?

If they can report to you regularly, wouldn't we be able to keep track of the enemy's movements?
Such a small benefit is the same no matter who it's given to. So, exchanging it for some useful information is a win-win situation!

Similarly, do the mountain produce purchasing and sales points also need manpower? Can this job opportunity be assigned to specific individuals? There's a lot to consider here!
What do you think? "

After hearing what his father-in-law said, Yue Feng suddenly understood.

Liu Bang, a talented man from a small county, founded the vast Han Dynasty. There are truly great people among the masses!

When it comes to having a keen sense for grassroots struggles, my father-in-law, Wang Jianguo, is definitely number one.

After discussing the issue with his father-in-law, Yue Feng immediately began to ponder the submitted list.

Since it's a business he developed himself, Yue Feng has absolute autonomy and the right to choose.

If a direct descendant of the Wang family wants to do it, just sign up.

Others who want to do it, let's see what their stance is.

Those who support you should be given serious consideration, but if they are die-hard supporters of the other side, then I'm sorry, we'll have to do some more research!

Anyway, drilling a well wasn't a task assigned from above. There were only two sets of drilling tools, so no one could control whether it was early or late!

If Yue Feng is willing, this matter can even be extended to be carried out continuously on a monthly or semi-annual basis.

The potential loss is nothing more than the revenue from 'commercial orders' that other villages might receive.

The materials for making wellheads are currently in short supply and require batch ordering, so the impact is minimal.

After careful consideration, Yue Feng quickly finalized the list of well-drilling personnel.

The first group consists of four people: three are loyal followers, and one is a neutral party who can be won over.

In the second group, the scribe's younger brother wanted to do it, and Yue Feng decided to try his father-in-law's strategy indirectly.

After some research and waiting, the other party actually relented and agreed to secretly pass on messages! With this pledge of loyalty, news of the recent secret meetings quickly reached Yue Feng's ears.

When Yue Feng learned that Zhang Junhong wanted to form a hunting team and cultivate ginseng, he felt quite relaxed.

When it comes to hunting, Yue Feng's skill level is no less than Zhang Jia's.

This thing can only attract a limited number of people. If there are too many people, they will not get any spoils and will have worked for nothing. If there are too few people, it will not be able to win people's hearts and minds and will not pose much of a threat to Yue Feng.

In contrast, Yue Feng was quite interested in Zhang Junhong's initiative to lead the villagers in planting ginseng.

When it comes to handling ginseng, Yue Feng is a true expert.

It's important to know that Uncle Wu's ginseng business now covers not only wild ginseng from a few core mountain areas deep in the mountains, but also a large proportion of forest-grown and garden ginseng. Moreover, after years of practical experience, their cultivation techniques have become quite mature.

Zhang Junhong proceeded cautiously, leading the villagers to set up their operations first. He knew that problems of varying sizes would inevitably arise when the ginseng seedlings reached their second or third age and entered the management phase.

When the village official elections are approaching, if he doesn't handle things well, he won't get any points and it could even have a negative effect.

When the time comes, Yue Feng can ask the old man for help and invite a few real senior ginseng farming experts to give him some guidance. That would be a piece of cake! If played well, this move could benefit Yue Feng entirely.

……

Over the next few days, Xing'an Village became lively.

Yue Feng and his brothers brought out the main members of the two well-drilling teams, and the two teams worked busily to drill wells for the villagers.

In addition to the custom-made well-drilling tools and the water-drilling technique for small-hole wells, Yue Feng also learned a water source locating technique called "finding the burial site" when he was drilling wells at the breeding farm with his master Zhao Dashan.

This method of locating burial sites using the traditional method is not the same as the method depicted in tomb raiding movies, but rather a folk method for finding underground water sources.

Yue Feng wasn't clear on the specific principle, but the general procedure was to prepare two L-shaped copper wires, hold them loosely in your hand, and then walk slowly in the yard where you wanted to dig a well.

If there is a water vein underground, the two copper wires will undergo a certain deflection reaction and thus cross.

Drilling a well at the intersection where the reaction is most intense greatly increases the probability of hitting water.

For several days in a row, Yue Feng used this method to select the location of the wellhead, and he never failed even once.

The success rate reached an astonishing 100%.

With this move, the technical barriers for the well-drilling team in Xing'an Village have been slightly improved.

After all the members of the two drilling teams learned the drilling process, whenever someone needed work, Yue Feng would take the copper wire equipment and go around to check on them, and then the workers would get to work. The efficiency was quite good.

……

Before we knew it, more than half a month had passed.

Yue Feng has been living a very peaceful life lately. The land acquisition work on the mountain is more than half completed, and the first batch of small wells for the villagers are also almost finished.

Walking down the main street of the village these days, you can often see water gushing out of someone's drain. You don't even need to guess to know that they must be digging a well.

After Yue Feng assigned these trivial tasks to specific individuals, he had some free time again.

I meet with the person in charge every day to check on the progress, then pay the relevant personnel their wages. When I have nothing to do, I play with the baby eagles at home for a while.

Before we knew it, the eaglets in the eagle house had begun to grow quills and feathers.

Upon brief observation, Yue Feng was quite surprised.

Yue Feng seems to be having exceptionally good luck this year, compared to last year when his four fledglings were split evenly, with two black and two white.

Of the five fledglings this year, four are black mutants, while only one is a normal white fledgling.

As the eagle chicks grew bigger day by day, the eagle house became increasingly noisy.

After these guys got to know Yue Feng, they were like a bunch of little puppies, barking and quacking whenever they saw their owner.

The oldest hatchling has already grown its wings and has even begun to practice flying.

Before we knew it, another half month had passed.

July arrived, and the weather began to get hot.

The five eaglets at home have already grown their feathers and have begun flight practice.

With the experience of training the first brood of eaglets last year, Yue Feng's training of the eaglets this year is significantly more scientific and professional.

From the moment they hatch, they are artificially imprinted so that the eaglets have no fear or barriers with their owners.

Moreover, the conditioned reflex of feeding and whistling, which starts from a young age, is highly reinforced.

The eagles can't fly yet. Yue Feng blew his whistle, and a bunch of little guys stretched out their wings in the yard like free-range chickens, looking for food from Yue Feng.

Once they slowly began to fly, the eaglet's response to the whistle was quite timely and reliable.

In the following period, Yue Feng transformed into the captain of the fledgling eagles, gradually increasing the time he spent with the eaglets flying alongside him.

It started in their own yard and gradually moved to the main street of the village.

Later, there were production roads outside the village, and small paths leading into the mountains.

The fledgling eagles continued to fly and follow for longer and longer periods.

By mid-July, it was possible for Yue Feng to ride his motorcycle ahead while the little eagle flapped its wings and flew alongside him in the sky.

From the new houses in Xing'an Village to the breeding farm on the mountain, the entire journey can be completed without stopping at the ground.

The most important aspects of training fledgling eagles are artificial imprinting and whistle guidance. As for flight time and aerial following, once the basics are established, the difficulty is not that high.

Under the gradual training model, all five eaglets performed better than expected this year. From hatching to full plumage and soaring into the blue sky, it only took them a little over two months.

Once the eaglets have largely regained their physical strength, they will learn to hunt by following their owner or parent birds.

Last year, after the fledglings left the nest, Yue Feng didn't pay attention to their training. So, after the master got the pair of white eagles, it took a lot of time to teach the little guys to hunt and do chores.

This year, Yue Feng isn't going to take it easy. Teaching these things during the early learning period is the most efficient way. If you miss this stage, it will be much more difficult to learn later.

Although the main purpose of Yue Feng's eagles is to keep them as breeding stock for the breeding farm, it is still necessary to teach them essential hunting skills.

If a training error occurs or the eagle is accidentally lost due to fright, it will not go hungry if it knows how to hunt, but if it does not know how to hunt, it will surely die if it is lost.

When it comes to training young eagles to hunt, Yue Feng's approach is also very simple and brutal.

Each of the five eagles was taken out separately to learn in actual hunting alongside their parents.

They hunt by swooping down to attack common prey such as pheasants, doves, or rabbits in the fields.

After several practical demonstrations by the parents, opportunities are created for the fledglings to try it out.

After several successful attempts, confidence gradually grows. With continued practice over a period of time, one can master the basic hunting and flying skills to a passing level.

As for attacking large prey like wild boars and roe deer like their parents, this skill isn't needed for now. Even if it's needed in the future, it can be learned and strengthened later by following the parent birds. (End of Chapter)
