Chapter 243 Ukrainian Beauty
While Moscow was in constant trouble, Sergey was investigating the agriculture here in Ukraine, although Sergey was full of ambition when he came, thinking that he might be able to change the poor production conditions of the collective farms here. But when he really came to the grassroots to investigate the status quo, he realized that he was too wrong.
The Soviet Union is not China, and Seryozha cannot transplant China's experience here. Although there is no shortage of arable land in Ukraine, there is a lack of sufficient labor force. These fertile lands are now directly abandoned here. Can't find anyone to plant. Labor shortage was the most fundamental problem of Soviet agriculture.
From the bottom of his heart, Seryozha has completely given up the unrealistic idea of changing the status quo of Ukrainian agricultural development. He just wanted to finish the trip here as soon as possible, and then go back to Moscow to do other things. As for Gorbachev, Seryozha decided to simply pay some money to build a demonstration farm and forget about it.
However, through this inspection, Seryozha still summed up some specific issues and made a written report to Gorbachev on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture. In Seryozha's report, he pointed out that although the central government has always expected agricultural production organizations to produce more grain, due to the liberalization of policies on animal husbandry and non-staple food production, the majority of collective farm members have no longer focused on grain production. Instead, they are more focused on those self-employed economies. This has caused a large loss of labor force engaged in food production, and the result of the loss of labor force is the decline in grain output and agricultural production, which in turn seriously restricts the development of breeding and animal husbandry. So in the final analysis, the only way out is to use the existing food production labor force and invest huge sums of money to establish a large planting industry like the countries in North America. Although the report was written by Seryozha, he himself knew that the establishment of a large-scale farm like the one in the United States requires a large amount of financial support, and it is impossible to promote it on a large scale.
Seryozha wrote a rough outline of his report and handed it over to Nastya to polish and revise it. The rest of the matter awaited the decision of his superiors. Although Seryozha came to Ukraine to inspect agriculture, he was still an official of Moscow and the ministries and commissions, and it was inevitable that he would be greeted and communicated in some places. Especially since Seryozha is now in charge of grain production, the most critical department of the Ministry of Agriculture, those companies affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture related to this will naturally have to treat them well.
The last stop of Seryozha's inspection trip was mainly concentrated in Bo Zong's hometown, Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, which is not only the industrial, economic, and cultural center of Ukraine, but also an important grain-producing area. The Dnieper River hydropower station built in 1939 not only provided sufficient electricity for Ukraine, but also created good conditions for agriculture and fishery here.
When the convoy of the Ministry of Agriculture led by Seryozha came to Dnepropetrovsk, a local deputy governor in charge of agriculture had been waiting at the gate of the state government for a long time. Seryozha's car parked steadily at the gate of the state government, and the entourage sitting in the co-pilot's seat hurriedly opened the door for Seryozha. Seryozha straightened his clothes, then held out his hand to shake hands with the state officials who greeted him.
The deputy governor introduced the officials waiting here one by one for Seryozha. With a smile on his face, Seryozha greeted these officials who met for the first time one by one, and occasionally made a few jokes. These officials all showed a flattered look.
"Director Ulyanov, welcome to Dnepropetrovsk Oblast to guide our work!"
"Nice to meet you, Comrade Yushchenko!" Seryozha responded cordially.
...
Everyone greeted each other for a while,
The reporters waiting on the side only found the opportunity to take photos of the meeting for everyone. This photo will be on the front page of the local paper tomorrow!
"Director Ulyanov, what are your plans for the next trip?" Deputy Governor Yushchenko asked respectfully.
"It's all up to your arrangements. I came to Dnipropetrovsk for the first time, and of course I followed the arrangements of the local comrades!" Seryozha said in a friendly manner.
Seeing that Seryozha's attitude was still very easy-going, Yushchenko finally relaxed. As a deputy governor in charge of agriculture, Yushchenko was most worried about sending people here to investigate the reasons for the reduction in grain production. Now it seems that the Director of the Grain Production Bureau did not come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.
"Since this is the case, we have prepared a welcome dance for you, and it will be held in the evening. I wonder if Director Ulyanov can come, so that our Ukrainian girls can appreciate your demeanor!" Yushchenko mustered up his courage Said half-jokingly.
"Hey... your comrades here... are so considerate in hospitality!" Seryozha said in a condescending manner, originally intending to make a joke. But speaking out of breath, Yushchenko was almost killed.
Under Yushchenko's hospitality, Sergey walked into the state government building, had a brief meeting with the first secretary of the Dnepropetrovsk state party committee and the governor, and exchanged views on some agricultural issues . After posing for a group photo, Seryozha and his entourage returned to the hotel to rest.
Seryozha had a bath, ate something, and after a short rest it was soon time for the evening dance. Yushchenko personally went to the hotel to meet Sergei Sha. After Seryozha tidied up, the two drove together to the reception hall of the Municipal Party Committee in Dnepropetrovsk.
Yushchenko found out that Secretary Ulyanov was very young and not yet married, so he selected some young and beautiful teachers, civil servants, engineers and other women from various units in the city to come here to accompany the leaders Dance. And what about Seryozha? I have given up on the prospect of Ukrainian agriculture for a long time, and naturally I will not pursue the responsibility of the agricultural authorities here. He only intends to end things here early and return to Moscow.
"Ladies, please pay attention, this is Director Ulyanov from Moscow..." Yushchenko was about to continue the introduction, but Sergey waved Yushchenko to stop first, and then Sergey introduced himself He said: "Don't call me the director, just call me Comrade Ulyanov, the comrades of the director think I'm an old man..."
Seryozha's words successfully set a relaxed tone for the ball. Next, the young women who came to invite Seryozha to dance were one after another. After a few dances, Seryozha went to rest, just when Seryozha planned to go back to rest early. A dark-haired girl came up to Seryozha and said: "Comrade Ulyanov, can you dance with me?"
Seryozha wanted to refuse, but when he raised his head and looked at the other party, Seryozha suddenly froze! A beautiful woman with a traditional Ukrainian hairstyle in a big braid was standing in front of Sergey in a sexy evening dress at the moment, and extended her fair and delicate hand to Sergey in a friendly manner.
