Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"road!"

Lin Kaifeng looked around and saw that everyone had puzzled expressions. He slowly said, "Some time ago, I took my wife and children back to Dongshan Brigade to visit relatives. This trip made me feel deeply touched."

"The state allows farmers to engage in sideline production, and individuals can also raise pigs, chickens, ducks and cattle."

"Life in the countryside is starting to get better, but one problem may seriously hamper this good situation: the road."

"The various agricultural and sideline products produced in the countryside need to be sent to purchasing departments in the city or county before they can be exchanged for money."

“The road problems are too serious when you go out from the countryside.”

"It's not so bad on normal days, but when it rains, the road becomes extremely muddy. Not to mention cars, even people walking on it would have to take one deep step and one shallow step."

"Agricultural and sideline products from the countryside cannot be transported to the city, and the supply of non-staple food in the city is the first to be affected."

"I dare to say that if you want to get rich, you must build roads first. This is the only way to solve the problem of rural economic development."

“If the road is blocked, everything will be blocked; if the road is clear, everything will be clear.”

It is a well-known saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only when every village has roads and every household has water and electricity can these problems be met and the rural economic outlook can be comprehensively improved.

Help the vast rural areas to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Immediately, Lin Kaifeng started a new report following this topic.

The state has repeatedly asked communes and county towns to stop assigning tasks to members, and not to force members to engage in any side jobs.

It is up to the people to choose agricultural and sideline production.

Based on the unique local conditions, carry out agricultural and sideline production work with local characteristics.

You don't have to limit yourself to raising pigs and ducks.

Some areas have fertile land suitable for growing fruits.

You can grow fruit trees as a sideline, but the problem is back to the starting point.

The people grow a lot of fruits, but the roads are not smooth. How can the fruits be transported in?

Fruits are fresh seasonal food, but if they cannot be transported to the city for a long time, the only result is that they will all rot.

At the same time, Lin Kaifeng talked about the bamboo weaving craft society of Aimin Commune.

The craftsmanship of the bamboo weaving craft society is beyond reproach.

It is because of the lack of transportation that the villagers are forced to use the most primitive means of carrying goods on their shoulders or hands and walk to the purchasing departments in the city to sell their goods.

It takes two days and one night to travel from Aimin Commune to the city.

The purchasing department was unable to obtain timely product supplies from below, and the commune also had a large accumulation of bamboo handicrafts due to road problems.

As a result, the scale of the craft society has never been able to expand.

When these issues are added together, they become big problems with far-reaching consequences.

Wang Changsheng stood up and said, "The issues you raised are indeed very important, and they are very to the point. You pointed out that if we want to develop the rural economy, we must build roads."

"In addition to building roads, we also need to ensure the supply of electricity, but these problems need to be solved bit by bit. The country's economic reform has just entered the fast lane. In addition to building roads, is there any way to enable villagers to transport the sideline products they produce to the city?"

Lin Kaifeng said with a smile: "Before the road is fully built, in order to improve the living standards of the villagers, Minister Wang, I'm afraid you will have to act as a matchmaker."

"Oh? Be a matchmaker?"

Wang Changsheng said with great interest: "Tell me how I can be the matchmaker."

Lin Kaifeng deliberately kept the matter in suspense and asked all leaders to follow him to the warehouse.

Soon, everyone arrived at the warehouse where the agricultural tricycles were parked.

Inside are beautiful agricultural tricycles placed one after another.

Lin Kaifeng walked to an agricultural tricycle and said, "Leaders, the agricultural tricycle produced by the company is not only to meet the transportation needs of rural areas, but also to solve problems such as poor rural roads."

"I have made a bold innovation on this vehicle. You can see that these tricycles have a simple structure, but they are very powerful."

"The agricultural tricycle with a dual-bar engine has a relatively strong horsepower, and can run normally even on rough and difficult roads."

"It is easy to maintain, has a large cargo capacity, and is suitable for use on complex roads. I think this type of agricultural tricycle that can carry both people and goods should be vigorously promoted at this stage."

"The ministry provides guidance, and higher authorities advance funds to ensure that each production team can use agricultural tricycles and other means of transportation, so that the sideline products in the countryside can be continuously transported to the purchasing departments in the city and county."

The agricultural tricycles produced by the machinery company are not one-off products.

After finishing his current work, Lin Kaifeng will lead the factory's technical staff to carry out a drastic upgrade of agricultural tricycles.

Further increase the cargo capacity of agricultural tricycles and upgrade the tires of tricycles.

Ensure that there will be no tire blowouts when driving on harsh roads.

At Lin Kaifeng's invitation, Wang Changsheng got into the agricultural tricycle with great interest.

Get a close look at the cab of an agricultural tricycle.

After a moment, Wang Changsheng came out of the car and patted Lin Kaifeng on the shoulder.

"Very good, the driving principle of the tricycle is simple. After a short period of training, I think anyone can learn to drive this kind of vehicle."

Lin Kaifeng continued, "Leader, what is the suggestion I just made?"

"The ministry will give it serious consideration."

Some things require subjective initiative from below, while other things need to be pushed forward from top to bottom.

This is probably what Lin Kaifeng wanted to express.

Given the current economic situation, an agricultural tricycle that costs 880 yuan is an astronomical figure for both ordinary citizens and poor and lower-middle peasants.

Ordinary people cannot afford them for now, but production and construction cannot do without them.

Lin Kaifeng suggested that the relevant departments provide advance payment.

Or the car can be handed over to the production team below for use in the form of installments.

Or by exchanging money for goods.

For example, the commune would purchase twenty to thirty agricultural tricycles at a time and distribute them to several production teams.

With the tricycle, the agricultural and sideline products produced by the production team can be delivered to the purchasing department quickly and well.

The prices of agricultural and sideline products can be used to offset the payment for agricultural tricycles.

The farmers' transportation problems were solved and the city's supply of non-staple food was also met.

Relevant departments across the province purchase it in large quantities, which can also drive factory production.

Agricultural tricycles are domestically produced vehicles.

From engines to spare parts, everything can be domestically produced.

There are no production restrictions.

If it is a small supply to the commune, Northern Machinery Company can still handle it as usual.

If various departments purchase a large number of agricultural tricycles from Northern Machinery Company, with the quantity exceeding one thousand, Lin Kaifeng will inevitably have to outsource some of the production projects to other factories.

This way, other state-owned factories will have business to do.
