Chapter 180 Xu Ye's Breeding Plan (Subscription Request)
Xu Ye smiled and nodded. He knew very well these young people's desire to change their destiny and was happy to provide them with an opportunity to learn.

"Okay, I will definitely call you when the construction of the house starts. At that time, not only can everyone learn the skills, but we can also help together and speed up the progress." Xu Ye agreed readily.

Zhang Sanbao's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this. He turned around and said to everyone, "Did you hear that? Brother Ye said that everyone should go back and tell everyone to spread the word."

"Anyone who has time and ideas can come and learn the craft while helping out. This is a rare opportunity!"

Everyone nodded and said they would definitely come to help and promote the campaign.

It is not easy for the hunting team to enter, and at the same time they do not want anyone to come in and share the money with them.

But it’s different for a construction team. Everyone in the team can make money.

If I could squeeze into the construction team, I could quickly improve my family's life.

Each of them has brothers and sisters, relatives and friends.

Nowadays, everyone wants to help their relatives.

"Will it start in the afternoon?" Zhang Sanbao asked.

"Well, let's start in the afternoon." Xu Ye nodded.

Time is limited, so it is better to seize the time.

So everyone hurried back, firstly to take the money they had just earned home and hide it, and secondly to inform relatives and friends.

Xu Ye did not stay at the homestead, but went to the brigade headquarters again.

In the office, Yang Zongming and Fan Dajun were drinking tea leisurely.

Now they are very happy and relaxed.

Because the team started to become richer, the extra money in the accounts now was more than they had ever had before.

"Xu Ye, you're here at the right time. We were just about to send someone to find you and bring you to the brigade headquarters." Fan Dajun said as he handed Xu Ye a cigarette.

Xu Ye took the cigarette and lit it, then asked, "What do you want from me?"

Xu Ye decided to listen to them first and then talk about his own affairs.

"We are going to have a meeting tonight, and then we will have you officially assume the position of captain of the sideline."

"Wang Dexian said that he is not suitable for the job and has taken the initiative to step down and make way for others." Yang Zongming said happily.

The hunting captain and construction captain are all appointed by the team themselves.

But the secondary captain is different, it is a formal position.

With this, Xu Ye finally had an official identity.

"That's great, I just happened to have a plan." Xu Ye took a puff of cigarette, then looked at Yang Zongming and Fan Dajun.

Xu Ye slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes flashing with plans for the future.

“I do have a comprehensive plan for developing a side business, and growing forage grass is part of it.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zongming and Fan Dajun couldn't help but smile at each other. They knew that Xu Ye could always bring unexpected surprises.

"Oh? Tell me, what is your plan for planting forage grass?" Yang Zongming asked curiously.

Xu Ye tapped the table lightly and spoke clearly: "First of all, our brigade has abundant land resources, but some plots of land are not suitable for growing traditional crops. It would be a waste if these lands were left idle."

"After the firewood is cut, the mountains become bare, which is not only unsightly but also causes soil erosion."

"Forage grass, especially high-quality forage grass that is suitable for local climate and soil conditions, not only has a short growth cycle, but can also effectively improve soil structure, laying a good foundation for subsequent crop planting."

"Secondly, with the gradual development of our brigade's breeding industry, the demand for feed will increase significantly, both for existing livestock and for the scale that may be expanded in the future."

"Growing our own forage grass not only reduces feed costs, but also ensures feed quality and safety, which is crucial to improving the overall economic benefits of our brigade." Fan Dajun nodded in agreement, but he was a little worried: "It sounds good, but growing forage grass requires technology, as well as seeds and fertilizers. The investment is not small, right?"

Xu Ye was well prepared. He smiled and said, "I have already thought about this. We can contact the county's agricultural technology extension station and invite experts to train us to ensure that everyone can master the technology of forage planting."

"We can also collect seeds. This is a long-term plan, not something that can be done in a day or two."

After hearing this, Yang Zongming's eyes flashed with praise: "Xu Ye, you always think of things that we can't think of. Since you already have such a comprehensive plan, we will fully support you. At the meeting tonight, I will formally announce your decision to serve as the captain of the sideline team, and discuss the specific implementation plan of this forage planting project together."

"In addition," Xu Ye added, "I also plan to set up a forage planting team to be responsible for this work. Team members can be villagers who voluntarily join, and we will give corresponding rewards according to their contributions. This will not only stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, but also ensure the smooth progress of the project."

Fan Dajun patted Xu Ye on the shoulder and said, "With young people like you taking the lead, our team has a bright future! Go ahead and do it, we will fully cooperate."

"But if those lands are planted with pasture, what will we villagers use as firewood?" Li Dongming, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly asked.

This is a very realistic problem. After all, every household needs firewood.

“You can buy from other villages, and also buy coal.”

"Now a hundred kilograms of firewood only costs 50 cents. After we plant forage grass, our animal husbandry industry can be greatly developed."

"With the money earned from the farm, we can not only buy coal and firewood for the villagers, but also have a lot of money left over for other things."

“For now, we can use the money earned from hunting to buy firewood and coal for everyone.”

Since we are a collective, we can adopt this approach.

It will not be so easy to do this in the future, because everyone is contracted to do their own thing.

As long as their collective can create more value, the collective system can naturally continue.

When Li Dongming heard Xu Ye's arrangement, he nodded involuntarily.

No one else has this courage.

Moreover, there may not be anyone who supports it.

But Xu Ye is different. If he does this, Yang Zongming and Fan Dajun will definitely support him.

As for the villagers?

How could they not be happy if they could have firewood without having to chop wood?
Chopping wood is very hard work, and few people are willing to walk dozens of miles to chop wood.

They don’t know yet that liquefied gas and natural gas will also enter rural areas in the future, and firewood will gradually disappear from the stage.

Therefore, it would be better to plant suitable forage grass in those bare areas now, and develop animal husbandry and breeding industries.

"So, you are going to raise those antelopes?" Yang Zongming asked involuntarily.

“Yes, so a new farm needs to be built.”

"I plan to raise not only takin, but also bamboo rats and badgers."

“Of course, there are also our local black pigs and goats.”

"If you want to do a side job, do it in a big way. You won't make money by doing it on a small scale."

"Of course, we have to take it one step at a time."

Xu Ye knew that the brigade did not have much money and needed money to blast mountains and dig rivers.

Therefore, he can only use a little.

However, planting pasture and building farms are also necessary.
