Chapter 90: Credit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the autumn harvest, Yu Bing recruited two more apprentices. As she explored the wasteland, she taught her disciples. From time to time, she also taught them the daily repair methods for minor issues. After that, her focus would slowly shift to the ecological industry chain, so she had to make preparations in advance.
Yao Nian still didn’t get an apprenticeship this time. Yu Bing was a little surprised that not only did Yao Nian not find trouble with her again, but he even smiled and greeted her when he saw her. His attitude became even better. She couldn’t guess the reason behind Yao Nian’s change in attitude, and Yu Bing couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. After all, she was busy now.
**The Village Council Office**
Wu Jin handed the information he had obtained over the past few days to Yu Bing. “Yu Bing, all the fruit trees that can be planted in this season are on it. Among those that are suitable for our village, I have my eyes on the cherry and apple fruit trees.”
The information included the planting methods and suitable environment for the various fruit trees.
After Yu Bing took a closer look, she looked up at Wu Jin. “Mr. Wu, have you thought about how many fruit trees you plan to plant? I’ve taken a look. Pear, kiwi, and peaches are also suitable for planting on our side after spring.”
Wu Jin took a sip of tea and replied slowly, “I’m also considering planting these two types of fruits. Canned kiwis and cherries are more expensive than ordinary fruits. Since our village is going to make economical crops, we really can’t be too restrained. Also, I plan to make that persimmon you mentioned. I’ll plant hard persimmon. Persimmons can be stored for a long time, so it’s convenient to transport it to sell or make persimmon pancakes.”
Yu Bing nodded in agreement. “In that case, we’ll have to start preparing the apple and cherry saplings. There’s also the little chick. We can dig the fish pond after the hill is opened up. We’ll also have to wait for the weather to warm up in April and May before we can bring in the little ducklings.”
Yu Bing’s thoughts were the same as Wu Jin’s, but what was giving Wu Jin a bigger headache now was something else. Wu Jin raised his hand and rubbed his temples. “The most troublesome thing now is where the money will come from.”
Yu Bing had never thought about this. It had only been half a year since she was reborn, and she was still stuck on the concept that one could find well-funded companies to invest. Now that she heard about Wu Jin’s troubles, she realized that in this era, there was no private company that could invest.
After holding his chin for a while, she suddenly thought of the phrase “on credit”. It was the era of collective production. All the output of the village would be managed by the village first. Food would be sent to the government first, and the remaining food and income would be distributed according to the number of workers at the end of the year.
Yu Bing rubbed her fingers for a while, then looked up at Wu Jin. “Village Chief, our current reclamation plan has been approved by the county. Why don’t we take the document and go to the Forestry Bureau to get a batch of fruit trees first, and then go to the Animal Bureau to get a batch of chicks? They’ll start producing eggs for profit in April and May next year. We’ll pay them back when we have the money. Besides, since the county has approved it, they should support our township enterprises! As for the cannery… Anyway, it’ll have to wait until next year. If it really doesn’t work out, the village will do it on credit first.”
Good lord! This meant that after crediting the government, they would credit the villagers. There was no escaping it.
Yu Bing’s move was foulproof!
Wu Jin was speechless.
The so-called credit actually meant that the collective income would be used for production first. There was also a precedent for this. In any case, they would only start distributing food and money at the end of the year.
If the villagers had urgent matters at home, they would also look for the village committee for a loan approval in advance and pay back the money at the end of the year.
At this moment, there was indeed no better way.
Wu Jin decided to be thick-skinned. Even if he had to beg for help, he had to think of a way to get the first batch of fruit trees and chicken seedlings!
There wasn’t much work for the autumn harvest. After Wu Jin arranged the work in the village, he began to commute to the county city every day.
On the other side, Yu Bing wasn’t idle either. She used her notebook to make a form. On it, one’s name, gender, age, educational background, and specialty, as well as the factory area where one was from, were written. She was prepared to do a background check and assign the mission to the male youth team leader Wen Jiang and the female youth team leader Tian Jing.
The background check was completed in two days. After Yu Bing read through the files, she had a rough idea.
