Chapter 1238: Cultivating People

Lin Xiuqing patted him, "If you're fine, why don't you go to sleep? Sitting up and laughing in the middle of the night is scary. I thought you were having a nightmare when I saw you suddenly sitting up."

Ye Yaodong turned around and hugged her and kissed her, saying happily, "It was a sweet dream."

"What did you dream about?"

"I was lying there and doing some calculations, thinking that by the end of the year, our family's money could probably double."

"Where to double it?"

"The income from a few boats is a small amount. When our bagged fish sauce starts to circulate widely in the second half of the year, it will be a big deal. Bulk shipments are also considered a deal, and these two are considered stable. "

"Yes."

"Now the dried fish in the store is basically stable and is generating steady income. But if we want to double our family's money in the second half of the year, we don't rely on these three."

"Rely on your jellyfish, right? And sea urchins, right? The leader hasn't said whether we can borrow equipment, so we can only go into the water one after another, and at most it's a small head."

Lin Xiuqing didn't take his words seriously. Their family did make a lot in the second half of last year, but it was less than 100,000 yuan. How could it double?

Even if there is one more fresh fish collection boat, it's just the same as those small boats last year. The total profit is only half of it. How can it double?

"Did you forget? I also joined the lighter business. The lighters have been selling faster and faster in the past few months, but now there are also some inferior imitations. You can't rely on this for a long time, but you can still make a lot of money in the short term."

"The most important thing is that we definitely can't make money by selling in small quantities, we must rely on dividends. Last year's profits were very high. It was just the beginning of the year, and we went directly from a small workshop to a large factory."

"Last year's earnings were basically invested, and I also used it to open the way. I went to Fang Jingfu several times this year and he said that everything went smoothly. At most, he took care of all parties."

"So by the end of the year, there will definitely be a considerable dividend."

Lin Xiuqing also felt that his analysis made sense. She omitted the lighter factory mainly because they invested less money last year and there was no money to share last year.

This year, they said they had set up a large factory, bought land, recruited people, bought machines to expand, and said that this kind of dangerous goods needs to be taken care of.

So she had always thought that most of the money she earned was invested. Even if there was a share, it shouldn't be much, so she didn't take it seriously. They didn't lose money anyway.

"You've already calculated a lot of money before it's even a thing."

"I'm happy. Isn't it exciting to calculate it?"

"Let's wait until the end of the year. You're happy to calculate it now. Who knows what will happen then? You've already calculated the money you haven't earned all day. Go to bed quickly. What time is it? It's late at night, and you're still thinking about this."

"It's late at night. It's easy to have ideas when it's quiet."

"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly. You still have to go out to sea at night."

Lin Xiuqing impatiently pulled him to lie down, covered him with the quilt, and then turned sideways to sleep.

She was so sleepy, and she had to listen to him calculating the money she hadn't earned yet.

He really drew too many cakes, and he was also skilled at drawing them for himself. Why didn't he calculate how much money he could earn in 10 years?

She complained in her heart, and fell asleep quickly after turning sideways.

Ye Yaodong ignored her thoughts, put his hands behind his head, looked at the mosquito net for a while, and then closed his eyes.

After Mazu's birthday, Ye's father took people to sea again in the Dongsheng, while Ye Yaodong stayed at home to catch the flood season and salvage traps.

They went out to sea for as many days as the squid season lasted, except for a few rains during the period, when they did not go and rested at home.

This year's income was also average. After the birthday, it rained a lot, which affected everyone, so that after it was over, everyone put their minds on the jellyfish and kelp in the next two months.

Originally, they were all scared last year, but money is people's courage. More than half of the people made a lot of money last year.

So not long after the flood season ended, someone came to ask him what he planned to do this year?

How to do it? What else can he do?

Ye Yaodong asked them to follow the rules, and the rules were given last year.

He only said that he would go there in advance and ask them to fill out the application form they had filled out last year again. He would take it with him when he left to help submit the application. When they went there, they would have a fishing license.

After hearing this, they were very grateful. It was great that someone could help them with the application in advance. It saved them from having to wait for the process when they went there and could not do anything.

The news spread in the village, and everyone was discussing whether to go this year.

However, seeing that Ye Yaodong was planning to go, everyone was more inclined to go, after all, he was the backbone.

They also thought that since there were already regulations, fishing licenses, and maritime patrols, it shouldn't be a big problem to be careful, and the main thing was that they could earn more than at home.

The income from squid was not ideal, so they had to make up for it elsewhere.

Some families who didn't have boats originally worked for others, but now they were considering kelp farming in the second half of the year. Village cadres also posted production announcements during this period.

The breeding arrangement plan for the second half of the year has also been announced. It will be organized as a collective unit. Interested households can send one person to learn, and the work point system will be used, which is familiar to everyone.

The villagers responded one after another. Before it even started, some of them have already helped and rolled up their sleeves to clean up this year's aftermath.

The ropes used to grow kelp need to be cleaned before use the next year, and the piles on the seabed need to be brought back to avoid being stuck there and getting corroded.

Ye Yaodong worked on both sides during this period, and actually made better than anyone else. He salvaged ground cages at the same time, and then went to catch squid when the time came. He also hired three more people to join them in the water, and stayed on the shore by himself.

So not long after the squid flood season ended, he had almost cleared the ground around the reef, and it had even reached the bottom of the sea.

This made the few people who followed him out to sea very excited. It turned out that in addition to sea cucumbers, there was also a large river bank stuck upside down on the seabed. A small part was also covered with ground cages, but most of them were exposed on the seabed, standing layer by layer. , like a small stone tablet.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many goods in those cages, including sea cucumbers, everyone would have squealed and plucked them all out.

When Ye Yaodong had cleared the ground cage to the bottom of the sea and paid off part of it, he also felt doubtful about asking the troops to borrow equipment.

More than half a month has passed, and there is still no reply from the godfather, which means it must not be that easy, and he may be beaten back.

Now he can only rely on the two machines in his hand to launch the fish and slowly salvage it. Fortunately, it is not in vain, and the goods of the bare ground cage are also a big profit.

When the bottom of the sea is almost clear, he will ask people to take turns to pry abalone. Anyway, it is still early before he goes to Zhejiang Province, so he will work slowly.

However, he was still a little unwilling. He had known that he should have let Lin Jishang do more tricks at that time. It was not because he felt that this thing was difficult to handle and was afraid of embarrassing others.

If I had known that he would be caught so soon, I would have gathered as much wool as possible.

After thinking about it, he felt that he still had to make sure. After all, with two more sets, the income would be doubled.

If you can borrow it, you can certainly take it to Zhejiang Province when the time comes.

When his father came back, he asked his father to watch the house.

He happened to have someone pry a bucket of abalone, and three kilograms of intact sea cucumbers harvested from the ground cage that day were also kept. Jiang Yao also pried a basket.

While his father was coming back and someone was watching, he would tidy up a bit and take him to the city the next day to find out what was right.

Originally, he planned to equip the equipment with two more sets after the ground cage was cleared and there were no obstacles, and then he would work on it slowly.

Now it doesn't work, it's not going so well, he has to ask eagerly.

Director Chen was also a little happy when he saw that he had brought so many goods again, and they were also high-end goods like abalone and sea cucumber that he had mentioned before.

"You need to borrow the equipment just now. I will take half a day off in the afternoon to deliver it. Delivering the equipment to your door will be more convincing, and it will appear that we are not just trying to catch the autumn wind."

Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, "Is there still a chance? I thought it was over."

"Originally, I refused, saying that I had never heard of a fishery association and would not lend it. I asked someone to prepare a report and an application form in the name of the fishery association. This must not be in my personal name."

"There is no doubt that I was called back later. The application form was submitted and returned, and it took a lot of time. But our official business must be done in a public manner, and it must be based on documents, and all the required procedures must be in place. "

"After I was called back, I called directly. It took a lot of effort to explain that during this period, our Ocean Bureau will apply to the institute for a visit and to apply for breeding. It has also been submitted. After reporting, the troops were shaken."

"I will bring these over later to prove that they are indeed taken into the water to salvage them to supply the institute."

"But you sent too much here, so you can't have so many..."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "You have to keep some for yourself. I originally wanted to take more to honor you. One ginseng a day will keep you away from all kinds of diseases. This sea cucumber is a good thing for strengthening the body."

"Oh, having several sons is of no use at all. They are not as good as you." Director Chen sighed with emotion.

"Isn't he half a son now? There is no difference."

"Haha, yes, I will bring it up in the afternoon, and I will ask for an accurate letter on the spot. There is a big difference between where the person is and where the person is not. There is a huge difference between relying on letters and phone calls to communicate. If you want to show off your face, you have to Let people see your face first. Don’t rush back today. Come back tomorrow. If possible, you can take it back directly tomorrow.”

"That would be great!"

"I can't guarantee 100%. I can only try my best. If I can't bring it back to you tomorrow, then there's no hope."

"Okay, forget it if you don't succeed. Anyway, just listen to fate and work hard."

"Well, then you come back tomorrow morning. I have to go to work to ask for leave first."

"Okay, please excuse me godfather, I won't take up your time here."

Ye Yaodong went back after finishing speaking.

He went directly to the factory in the city and stayed there for one night. By the way, he also took a look at the accounts that Huang Mei had done recently. They were much clearer than those done by his father-in-law, and the handwriting was also beautiful.

Moreover, with the buffer of more than half a month of accounting and running in with other people, she has become very skilled at the job and has adapted well in the factory.

Even those unmarried boys like to hang around her, but no one would let this young girl.

Ye Yaodong only reminded them to be careful and didn't care about anything else. Who doesn't like juicy cabbage?

The next morning, he rushed to the family compound before work, and Director Chen was already waiting for him.

Please turn off the browser reading mode to view this chapter, otherwise you will not be able to turn the page or the chapter content will be lost.

As soon as he entered the door and had not yet sat down, Director Chen said: "It has been arranged for you. The two sets of equipment will be temporarily hung in the Fishery Association to support the development and construction of the city's fishery. As for when to return them, it depends on when they want them."

Ye Yaodong was overjoyed. After chatting yesterday, he also thought that it should be very likely to get it.

Now that he has been confirmed, he is relieved. He finally got it.

As for when to return it, let's talk about it later. The things are in hand, and there are many excuses to shirk.

"When are we going to get it? Can we go now?"

"Sure, I'll wait for you to come. Let's go. I'll take you there. The soldiers will have to practice and teach you how to use it."

"Okay, thank you, godfather, for making you run back and forth for so long."

"We are one family. It's just a small favor. It's not a big deal. It's just a trip. I usually get so much respect and care from you. This is nothing. Let's go. Go quickly. I have to go to work. I guess I have to ask for another two hours off."

...

It was almost 10 o'clock when Ye Yaodong drove the tractor to send Director Chen to the unit. The remaining time was probably enough for him to write a leave application, and then go fishing before he could go home again.

Ye Yaodong hummed a song and drove the tractor home. This trip was really not in vain.

Let's say, you can't just sit and wait for death.

How can you ask others to help you do things if your own people don't show up?

As soon as he arrived at the army, someone recognized him and exchanged pleasantries. Director Chen introduced him in detail, saying that he was the vice president of the Fishery Association and his godson. His status immediately increased, and he was no longer the salted fish seller...

Ye Yaodong knew him, and some people just called him the salted fish seller. People around the village knew that he was Ye Yaodong, and they would call him Salted Fish Dong, while people outside would only call him the salted fish seller.

He almost vomited blood when he heard it at first. Would calling him boss kill someone?

But fortunately, he became familiar with him, and then Director Chen helped him, so the matter was settled. He also signed the application form and took the equipment away.

In fact, the two sets of equipment he received were very simple and very old-fashioned, not as good as the ones he saw them wearing when he salvaged bronze artifacts in the village a few years ago.

Probably they were discarded and no longer needed, so it was relatively easy to get them.

We can't expect too much these days. The country's industry has just started, and we can't expect advanced equipment. Now many of them still rely on imports, and the technological reform is not so fast.

One of the reasons that promote the continuous technological innovation of this type of equipment is wealth, the wealth from the ocean.

Many merchant ships and pirates sail on the sea, but due to storms or the ship itself, many treasures on the ship, such as gold, silver and jewelry, sink to the bottom of the sea.

Even now, there are still many shipwrecks waiting for people to salvage and explore, and the current exploration is just the tip of the iceberg.

The diving suit is made for salvaging jewelry on the one hand and for rescue missions on the other.

Although it is outdated, it is fine as long as it can be used, and he is not picky, it is better than nothing.

When he got home, it was evening again, and Ye's father was puzzled by the strange things he brought back.

"What is this? Didn't you ask the leader to apply for equipment from the army for you? What's this junk for?"

"This is it. I only brought two old-fashioned ones. As long as they can be used, I'll show you how to use them when we go out to sea tomorrow."

"This is it? Why do they look even less reliable than your two?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Are my two sets of equipment reliable?"

"It is reliable, but isn't it different? This one doesn't look very reliable."

"You'll know when I show it to you tomorrow. Anyway, it's not that deep down there."

"You said it was eliminated. Why don't you just forget it? In case there's any danger..."

"If it's not produced by the army, it must be a fine product. The eliminated ones must be usable. They've repeatedly assured me."

"Okay."

Others also looked at it and felt that it was unreliable and too crude. However, since Father Ye had said it, others didn't say anything.

The people who actually went into the water had already gone back to rest. At this moment, those who were in the workshop were all on duty. How could they talk without any backache?

Because Ye's father wanted to see the effect of the two sets of equipment he had just brought back, he did not start the Dongsheng the next day, but went out to sea with him.

Ye Yaodong must set an example and demonstrate to everyone, so that everyone dared to follow him.

The two sets of equipment he brought back were actually simpler. They were just a headgear like an iron shell that was put on, and then there was a connecting pipe to input air into it.

The principles were the same.

He took Chen Shi into the water to demonstrate, and successfully brought up a net bag of abalone. Everyone cheered and confirmed that there was no problem.

He was also a little worried about whether it would work to go down to more than ten meters, so he thought that this set of equipment could be used directly to dig abalone, without going down to the bottom of the sea to collect ground traps and catch sea cucumbers.

The abalone on the reef is only three to five meters away from the water, which is more suitable for this simple equipment.

It just so happens that the four people who go into the water divide the work and cooperate, two go to the bottom and two go to the upper level in the sea.

Before coming out today, he also deliberately invited 10 more people. Originally, the staff had been expanded to 6, which could be rotated in three waves. Now the number has been increased to 16.

However, the 10 newly hired people are all novices, and he himself intends to train them. After all, he will have to hire more people when he brings them to Zhejiang Province, and they must all be able to get into the water.

He asked all newcomers to use simple ones, directly on the upper level.

Most people in the village know that he has equipment that can go into the water. He has a lot of property now, and he can assemble the equipment to salvage sea cucumbers and abalones, so everyone is not surprised.

And I heard about it yesterday and spread it around. He got it from the army. If there are connections behind it, there is no need to be jealous.

He is so much better than ordinary people now that everyone is no longer surprised by the new things he comes up with from time to time.

People who are new to the sea are somewhat eager to try it.

As long as they can hold on and go into the water without fear, they can make a lot of money by going to Zhejiang Province. Last year, they could earn around 100 yuan by working for just one month.

Those who follow Ye Yaodong stay longer and earn more.

Now everyone in the village is looking forward to selecting him, working for him, and making steady wages.

After Ye Yaodong's demonstration, he did not blindly let all the newcomers jump down. Instead, he explained it carefully, and then let them get used to it first.

"If you can hold on down there, you will all come with me to salvage in Zhejiang Province. Those who go into the water will receive extra subsidies, which is higher than the salary for salvaging jellyfish."

"well……"

"Great, I've been looking forward to when you would recruit workers..."

"And working with me is definitely safer and more secure than working with other people."

Everyone is a little excited, this is obvious.

Ye Yaodong told them to be careful again before letting them go down with the old ones and the new ones.

After a wave of success, the confidence of the remaining people increased greatly.

However, there are also people who are afraid. They look at the bottom of the sea and cannot see the edge, and they want to float up.

There were five such people, which was half the ratio. However, seeing how they sighed, he gave him a second chance and thought about going there a few more times to try. If he could adapt to it, that would be better.

Anyway, I have already been hired to go overseas, and my salary is calculated as one day.

After a whole day, only two of the novices couldn't overcome it, so we had to forget it.

Father Ye sat on the small bench all day, sorting with his hands, and watching them go up and down. He never failed, either a net bag of abalone or a few nets of ground cages.

"This shit is really good."

"Sure, I'm President Ye."

"Then if the dozen or so people you invited over have matured during this period, it will be more efficient to bring them to salvage sea urchins."

"Yes, that's right. There are still a few people on the Dongsheng who can launch water, which will be enough when the time comes."

"Then when do you plan to go? It's already the end of May."

"I went down and took a look. If I clear the cages down here for another ten days and a half, they will almost be cleared. In another half a month, I should be able to dig out all the abalones on the reef, and the remaining Those that are difficult to dig in the gaps will be allowed to reproduce next year.”

"That's the middle of next month?"

"Almost, half a month is enough for them to become perfect with practice."

"You can just wait for the fresh harvest ship to deliver the goods and sail back, but then you will have to leave again, and the ship will be parked there when it returns, which is a waste."

"Who said that?"

"If you don't stop there, what else can you do? They've all gone to Zhejiang Province, and several ships must have gone as well. Where are you going to receive the goods? Whose goods are you receiving?"

"I have a use and an arrangement. You will know when the time comes."

Father Ye glanced at him, "You are mysterious and full of crooked ideas. The people in the village have been building wooden boats there for the past few months. They all learned from you last year."

"Oh, if they follow the trend, they can only pick up what others have left."

"Then forget it if you don't tell me. Tell me how many people you plan to invite in advance. You have to call in advance, otherwise I might not be able to call people if it's late."

"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to call anyone, because I was afraid that everyone would be frightened by what happened last year."

"That's someone else. Why should I be afraid of following you? Everyone is eager to follow you. With such a high salary, working for a few months is equivalent to working at home for a year."

"Let me add it all up and then I'll tell you."

"Then you have to be quick."

The two people next to them who had been eliminated from the water quickly took the opportunity to speak, and Ye Yaodong also directly agreed.

When the time comes, we will definitely need manpower to collect the fresh boats.

Thinking about it, he had a headache. He had to take dozens of people with him alone, and more and more people were following him to make a living.

He is now being pushed to work hard to expand the market and explore ways to make money.

"After you go back, you have to contact the shipyard to see on which day the harvest ship can be brought back."

"Just ask Ah Hai and let him convey it."

"Ah Hai has learned well this year. He has grown up and matured. He will graduate in half a month. He will be a formal apprentice. After a few years of training, he will also be a skilled worker and can be called a master."

"Let's wait and see. It's hard to say how well he can learn. It would be good if he could join the army like Ayuan."

"No, that won't work. He has to leave his hometown to join the army, and he doesn't know where to serve. He's the eldest grandson, so it's better for him to stay at home."

Ye Yaodong quietly rolled his eyes, speechless. He's the eldest grandson, and you have a family business to pass on to him?

Lin Guangyuan is also the eldest grandson, so can he go too?

"Do you have a quota for a job in the village committee?"

"Yes."

"Didn't they take you back?"

"How is that possible? The whole village is counting on me now. I am the hope of the whole village. They can't even curry favor with me, so how could they take the quota back?"

"That's right. Then don't waste your quota. Ajiang and Ahai are only one year apart..."

"No hurry. It's better to give that quota to a girl. Why should a boy be so stable? There is only one male in my second brother's family. He has to help with many things. How can Ajiang be so comfortable?"

He knew that his father must be thinking of treating everyone equally, but how could he use his quota as a favor? It's not like that.

His eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law always said that his parents were partial. In fact, his parents would also want to treat everyone equally. They have that intention, but they have too many children, so they can never treat them equally.

It's better to leave the work of the village committee to the girls in the family.

"Alas, we should have let them have more children."

"It's not too late to have children now. Aren't we still not forcing people to get sterilized? If we kill them all at once, it will be too late."

It's not time for comprehensive sterilization yet. Only pregnant women are being forced to get sterilized. He forgot when it started, but it turned into going door to door to force married women with children to get sterilized.

I heard that unmarried girls were taken away to boost sales.

Alas.

"How can a father-in-law like me force people to give birth?" Ye's father muttered, but Ye Yaodong felt that his father seemed to take it to heart.
