Chapter 58 If you are poor, you will want to change.
Even though he didn't understand it at first, Gu Zhiqiang now knew what Qi Bin meant. He was simply asking him to collect some mountain products or dig medicinal herbs to sell.

But let alone the fields of the Red Flag Brigade, even the supplies on the mountain were collective property and could not be arbitrarily handled by individuals in large quantities.

Even though the captain is my cousin, Brother Baoguo is kind-hearted and hopes that everyone can live a good life.

Normally, villagers would go up the mountain to catch some small things, and the team leader would turn a blind eye. People would usually only take the risk when they were really hungry or their family was craving for meat.

You can try to get more, the custodian captain, secretary, accountant and security captain will all guard your home.

And if someone with ulterior motives sees it and reports it, you will be in big trouble and your family might even be implicated.

"Uncle, in fact, those mountain products can be packaged and shipped out. Those things are still very scarce in big cities. We can exchange them with them and use these mountain products to exchange for what we need."

When talking to smart people, you can be brief and to the point. After discovering that his future father-in-law was not that smart, Qi Bin also knew that he could not be evasive and had to speak to him directly and clearly.

"Uncle, we definitely can't go to get mountain products privately. We want to generate income for the collective."

"To generate income for the collective?" Gu Zhiqiang still looked confused.

He really just wanted to earn a few cents to buy a hair ornament for his daughter, so how did he get into such a lofty and serious topic as generating income for the collective?

Qi Bin wanted to sigh even more. No wonder the old lady at home always said that having so many stupid sons was really tiring.

In fact, Qi Bin was wrong. He didn't blame others for being stupid. It was actually because he was smart or knowledgeable. There was a huge difference in the comparison.

You have to know that Qi Bin's current status and position at his age is inseparable from his family background and his own hard work.

After graduating from high school, Qi Bin started to go on missions and carry out duties. He traveled far and wide and naturally learned a lot.

He had previously been to some production brigades in wealthy areas to complete his tasks.

Because of their geographical location, they have close contacts with the city, so in addition to the traditional cultivation of grain and vegetables, the production team also has some side businesses.

They are all side jobs that are related to local terrain and material conditions and meet actual needs, and some places will send some labor to counties and cities.

Some factories or transport teams have some particularly tiring or dirty work, so they specifically hire temporary workers if regular workers are unwilling to do the work.

When the production team sent people to work, they had to hand in the corresponding wages they earned when they returned, in order to deduct the corresponding full work points.

Other brigades would prepare some of their own agricultural and sideline products, such as tofu, bean skin, and vermicelli, and send them to the city in exchange for the soap, cloth, and other items needed by the brigades.

Anyway, we help each other and get what we need. This is all done in the name of the brigade and is completely in line with regulations.

This was exactly the form Qi Bin proposed. They could mobilize the entire Red Flag Brigade to collect mountain products.

Then take them to big cities. These things are very popular in big cities above provincial capitals because the people there need them.

"My compatriots in big cities need mountain products, and we need money and tickets. This is a friendly act of mutual assistance."

The most important thing is that Qi Bin has a way to do this, and he suggested that Gu Zhiqiang go to the brigade to apply.

If he could successfully apply for a side job, then Gu Zhiqiang would be responsible for the whole thing, and it would naturally be considered an achievement in the team.

These words really opened Gu Zhiqiang's eyes, mainly because their Red Flag Brigade was too far away from the commune and the county town.

And their place is just a remote small county, and they have never heard of such a saying.

Now that Qi Bin said this, Gu Zhiqiang began to realize that this could actually be done. "Binbin, if this thing is really done, it should be your leadership and your credit." Gu Zhiqiang laughed and did not take credit for it.

"Uncle, I'm just resting here temporarily. If I can do this in the future, I will definitely ask you to take the lead."

Indeed, Gu Zhiqiang held his head high and chest puffed out, looking very proud.

It just so happens that he will go to Brother Baoguo later to discuss how to do this matter specifically.

Brother Baoguo is a good captain and always thinks about how to make the villagers live a good life.

Unfortunately, in the past, everyone had little knowledge and there was no good solution.

Now, Gu Zhiqiang still had many things he didn't understand, so he grabbed Binbin and asked him questions.

For a moment, Gu Zhiqiang even thought about sacrificing his own daughter and leaving Binbin in the countryside.

If talents like Qi Bin could stay, their Red Flag Brigade would definitely get better and better in the future.

No, no, Wanwan is the most important. After all, everything he does is to make Wanwan's life easier.

He's just a man. If his daughter wants, eight or ten won't be a problem!

Gu Wan didn't know that her father had such a wild imagination and such amazing ideas, let alone ten or eight. Now she was not interested in men and only wanted to make money.

Gu Zhiqiang also acted very quickly. After consulting Qi Bin seriously, he went directly to the captain and repeated his original words.

The captain was also very shocked when he heard this, because of the ideas of their older generation.

It seems that for generations, our ancestors could only survive by farming, and they never knew that there were other ways to make money.

But at the same time, the team leader thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with Comrade Qi's statement.

If this method can be promoted, it will indeed be a way to lead the entire Red Flag Brigade to common prosperity.

All of a sudden, the captain looked at Qi Bin as if he was looking at a gold nugget.

"Comrade Qi, this is easier said than done. Going into the mountains is dangerous, not to mention that at first people won't see much gain, and they may not be interested."

Why are country people poorer and why do they have less vision than city people?

Being unable to move is one thing, but the other thing is that they don't know how to change themselves when they are in trouble, but instead they are complacent and have been nailing themselves there.

But not everyone thinks this way. Some strong laborers or young people in the village also think like Gu Zhiqiang.

If they can earn more money, everyone is still willing to take action.

"Brother, I think this thing would be great if it could be done. Anyway, I want to give it a try. If I can make money, that would be the best. If I can't make money, I won't lose anything either."

Every autumn and winter, the men and women of the Gu family would often go to the mountains.

There will be some harvest, more or less, and in the past it was to store food for the winter.

Now that his mind is opened, Gu Zhiqiang is more willing to take his sons to have a look.
