Chapter 41: Planned, Unplanned
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked when he listened to the words of Secretary Huang Zhongfu.
It is amazing that steel and cement can be obtained.
At this time, things are divided into unplanned and planned products.
You can buy unplanned products at will, but the products in the plan are not good. They are all quantitative and priced. Not to mention a few bags of cement, even a bag of cement is not easy to do.
At this time, there was a particularly awesome unit called the Planning Commission, which later disappeared into the long river of history.
Before the reform and opening up, it was a very pure planned economic growth model.
In the mid-20th century, a thorough cleanup of private capital was carried out, and all enterprises were nationalized during this period.
From then until before the reform and opening up, all enterprises in the country were state-owned or collectively owned enterprises. All material production and distribution were regulated by the above.
At this time, the annual planning meeting will take several months. Planning at this time is like a mule and horse conference, which is very powerful.
For example, in a coal mine, how much coal I dig and how much pit wood I need to report it, what should I do if I pit wood? I will go to the forestry department to see how much wood it has, collect it and distribute it to the coal industry, and then go to the railway department to carry out transportation, and then make a plan."
Obviously, this is a very strict planning ecological chain, which operates in a highly concentrated and fully closed system. Enterprises across the country are like workshops.
The Planning Commission is a dispatch room, planning to order food, financial appropriations, and bank counting money, which looks so well organized. However, this kind of planning economy's rejection and indifference to efficiency is no longer something that needs to be argued.
The industrial layout of the entire country is absolutely preferred by heavy industry.
Due to various needs, the military industry has been placed in the most important position, and heavy industries such as steel and oil are provided with it.
Therefore, the products of heavy industry do not flow into the expanded reproduction cycle of the national economy like the normal economic operating system, which directly leads to a serious shortage of light industry and the production of daily necessities for the people.
This is why people need to supply restricted notes at this time when buying grain, daily necessities, etc.
Glass bottles used for producing canned food are unplanned products, while steel and cement are planned products.
How much is used in each region every year? It is planned by the state and quantity. It is not something you can buy with money at all.
You have to have a copy note, but Jiang Xiaobai is going to do a copy note. If there is a copy note, why would he do in the canning factory?
At this time, Lu Guanqiu had no steel raw materials for running a factory. He went from street to street to collect scrap steel pipes and old iron wires. Otherwise, he would go outside the gates of some state-owned factories to see if there were any scrap steel pipes that could be picked up in the factory.
But at this time, there were so many waste products, so Lu Guanqiu Factory also had a meal at the production level but no meal at the same time.
Why doesn’t Jiang Xiaobai sell canned foods when he produces them in the supply and marketing cooperative? He has to find an agent to sell canned foods in the countryside?
Because he knew that if he went to the supply and marketing cooperative, he would probably be kicked out before he finished speaking, because he had no distribution indicators, and the supply and marketing cooperative would not sell him money at all.
"Okay, Secretary, if I need it, I will tell you." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile. He was going to build two factory warehouses without any cement or anything else.
Moreover, the college entrance examination will be in a few days. After the college entrance examination, he will be ready to return to the city. This canned industry is an excessive industry.
After returning, Jiang Xiaobai handed over the matter to Li Xiaoliu.
"Brother Xiaobai, it's okay to get dirt houses, but I heard that some villages in Huya Township have brick factories, and the bricks sold are cheaper than 2 cents a yuan."
Li Xiaoliu expressed his thoughts with some confusion.
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and asked, "There is a brick factory in Huya Township, who did you hear?"
He also knew that Huya Township was close to Shangma Township.
"My cousin Li Laosan came back two days ago to say it." Li Xiaoliu said.
"Well, I understand, let's do it. Let's find someone to ask for information first to see if you can buy bricks. Let's make do with the warehouse in the village where there is an available house."
Jiang Xiaobai was already planning to use soil to build two factory warehouses.
At this time, rural areas were generally poor, and they could only buy bricks at five or six cents a piece, and a house with thousands of bricks, most of which could not be afforded.
At most, buy one or two hundred yuan and use it to the foundation. If the conditions are better, buy more, wrap the wall with bricks. Look at the brick wall outside and the inside is a adobe core.
Every household marrys a wife to build a house, and they always drag the adobe as the material for building walls.
It is the time for summer to get a wheat bran and the weather is hot, so it is a good time to remove the blank.
Generally, in flat and open roadside ditches, dig on the spot or pull a pile of clay from elsewhere, sprinkle wheat bran, or short straw, pour water, step on barefoot, shovel, and make a uniform and sticky mud ball. Wheat bran is the bonding material in the adobe.
After mixing the mud, sprinkle ash on a flat place, put the blank mold on it, dip it with a brush, brush evenly along the four walls of the mold, start filling the mud into the mold, and after filling it, tap it with a hammer to flatten it, then dip the trowel with water and smooth the surface, and start starting the mold.
Some places are called earth bricks, and some places are called earth foundations.
But now that the village has opened a brick factory and selling bricks is cheap, Jiang Xiaobai doesn’t mind building two brick houses.
"Why are you looking for someone else? I have a place to put it in my house. Now I will go back and make two rooms to put out to put cans." Li Xiaoliu said while patting his chest, and after that, he turned around and went out.
Jiang Xiaobai also pushed open the door and walked out. The mainstream voices in the educated youth courtyard were still the sound of aloud reading and the sound of canned bottles colliding, and the sound of villagers chatting.
The whole yard was in full swing, and even the cicadas in summer were suppressed.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai got up early and went to the county glass factory early, and met Song Weiguo in the office.
"Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I didn't help you with the last review of the materials." Song Weiguo said while pouring water for Jiang Xiaobai.
"Brother Song, you are so polite. There are few review materials. I didn't even have time to thank you for your help in reminding us that the college entrance examination will resume."
Jiang Xiaobai said politely, and the two of them greeted each other for a while.
Jiang Xiaobai then took out 500 yuan from his pocket and settled the last payment first.
Now after half a month of sales, more than 4,000 bottles of canned food have been sold, and Jiang Xiaobai's funds have reached more than 2,000 yuan.
"That's right, Brother Song, I'm going to make some cans while the yellow peach is still ripe, so I still need a batch of glass bottles."
Jiang Xiaobai is preparing to get another batch of canned bottles back, and is rushing to make more canned yellow peaches, as long as they are sold during autumn and winter.
