Leech breeding to realize the dream of enriching the people of college student village officials

"What a joke. Old Zhu, this kid is ridiculous. You can earn money by breeding leeches? After attending university for four years, he finally jumped out of the 'farm gate' and actually returned to the countryside to become a dirt leg like us. What kind of higher education does this university have…"

In July 2013, Zhu Wenli, an undergraduate majoring in marine management who graduated from Huaihai Institute of Technology, gave up his superior job in the city with questions and even ridicule from villagers. After passing the recruitment examination for university students, he returned to his hometown, Dapeng Village, Guocun Town, as acting deputy director of the village committee, and also started his road to becoming rich by leech breeding.

Target, locked in as early as the university campus

"Land in the city is really expensive. The last public toilet also costs 50 cents to 1 yuan. There is so much land in the countryside, and one mu of land can earn 1000 yuan!" In 2009, when Zhu Wenli sprayed pesticides at home, he was extremely tired. He always thought about how to make the rural land produce the greatest benefit. At that time, he thought of breeding mullet, rice eel, crab and other special aquatic products.

After returning to school, Zhu Wenli told his teacher about his plan. Who would have thought that the teacher would only ask him a question: "These are all conventional special aquaculture products. Can you find a fresh and valuable aquatic product for breeding?"

A word woke up the dream, the teacher's words, completely dispelled Zhu Wenli's previous ideas, after consulting a lot of information and a series of comparisons, Zhu Wenli chose leech breeding, after getting the teacher's affirmation, Zhu Wenli began to pay attention to leech breeding. Therefore, the teacher specially provided him with a separate laboratory for the whole process of leech breeding experiments, so as to collect various data in the process of leech breeding.

Practice, explore first with father

In 2010, after collecting his ideas and relevant data on leech breeding, Zhu Wenli told his father his ideas, but only let his father breed on the premise of providing technical conditions, rather than breeding after graduation_because Zhu Wenli knew that if his father knew that he wanted to go back to his hometown to engage in leech breeding after graduation, he would never agree!

After getting his father's affirmation, Zhu Wenli asked the school for a week's leave, took his father to turn around more than 30 leech farms in Jiangsu Province, which could be found on the network. In the second half of that year, he contracted more than 50 mu of land in his hometown, and carried out the specific practice of leech breeding with a small part of the land, and at the same time explored the specific market situation of leech.

In order to ensure success, under Zhu Wenli's suggestion, the standardized breeding method was adopted. In 2011, more than 1000 square meters of water surface was first developed, all of which were pollution-free breeding, especially the use of biological regulation in the breeding process, and the use of antibiotics was strictly prohibited. However, when harvesting, it avoids using copper sulfate or pyrethroid pesticides adopted in some places, but adopts artificial fishing methods to ensure the quality of leeches, and earns more than 40,000 yuan in that year.

Wandering, only to accumulate more experience

"Actually, the idea of returning home has always been buried in my heart, but I know that if I return home as soon as I graduate from university, my father might not agree. Secondly, it will not be conducive to my future development, especially the development of my career." Speaking of his experience before returning home, Zhu Wenli said with deep feeling,"Only through practical social work can we learn more information and accumulate more technology and market experience."

After graduating from college, Zhu Wenli worked in three large-scale aquaculture enterprises in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places successively, which was more a kind of travel than work for Zhu Wenli. Because of this kind of travel, he also made his life more colorful, and accumulated a lot of technology and market experience, which can be said to have laid a more solid foundation for his return home to start a business.

Return home, be a good village official and start a business

"You know your son better than your father. Actually, when Wenli asked me to raise leeches, I knew that this kid wanted to come back. Especially when I contracted more than 50 mu of land at home, it was too hard." Zhu Wenli's father, Zhu Xiubing, smiled proudly when he talked about his son's return home.

Zhu Xiubing said,"In 2013, the local party committee recruited university student village officials. After I knew it, I called to ask him for his opinion and asked him if he would like to come back for the job. In fact, I called at that time. I wanted my son to come back and didn't want him to come back. After all, his basic annual salary in Zhenjiang was 100,000 yuan, plus various commissions. How can I say that there were 150,000 yuan? Moreover, after so many years of study, I finally jumped out of the 'farm gate'. Now I let him come back. Will you blame me in the future?”

After learning the news, Zhu Wenli also felt that it was time to return home. Although he had been wandering outside for less than 2 years, since his hometown needed it, he still went back early to make contributions to the villagers early. Zhu Wenli thinks so, although the salary is low, but after all can continue to engage in his favorite profession, but also can lead many villagers to become rich together, this person returns home to become rich things are best.

After making up his mind, Zhu Wenli took part in the recruitment examination for reserve cadres organized by the local party committee as scheduled, and successfully passed the examination and examination. He became an acting deputy director of Dapeng Village Committee of Guocun Town, a university student village official, and began his way to return home to start a business and demonstrate and guide farmers to become rich.

serve to enrich the people

After returning to his hometown, Zhu Wenli, on the one hand, began to learn the working experience in rural work, on the other hand, expanded the quantity and quality of leech breeding in his original home. Without delaying the work of the village committee, Zhu Wenli expanded his original 1000 square meters leech breeding water surface to 7000 square meters in 2014, and the benefit increased from 160,000 yuan last year to more than 500,000 yuan in that year. In 2015, he expanded 3000 square meters again, increasing the leech breeding water surface to 10,000 square meters. It is expected that this year will be a bumper harvest year.

Led by Zhu Wenli, especially because of his free technical assistance, many people are willing to do leech breeding. Shi Wanyu, a local villager, was originally a professional chicken farmer engaged in chicken breeding for many years. After seeing Zhu Wenli's success, he also raised leeches with him. At the beginning of this year, Shi Wanyu suffered losses due to raising chickens. At the beginning of breeding leeches, there was no money for seedlings. After learning this situation, Zhu Wenli resolutely paid Shi Wanyu more than 70,000 yuan of leech seedlings under the condition of his own loan breeding, so that Shi Wanyu's breeding could be carried out smoothly. According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, led by Zhu Wenli, leech breeding in Guocun Town has achieved unprecedented development. So far, the clean water surface of leech breeding in the local area has exceeded 30,000 square meters. In addition, due to the adoption of pollution-free breeding technology, leech quality is relatively high, attracting Hebei Anguo, Sichuan lotus pond, Anhui Bozhou, Guangxi Yulin and other places of medicinal materials dealers have come to buy.

"As a university student village official, entrepreneurship is not only my own need, but also my responsibility to guide the local people to become rich." In the future, I will further expand the leech breeding scale and guide more people to embark on the road of becoming rich by leech breeding." Looking at the leech farm with a bumper harvest in sight, Zhu Wenli said with emotion,"Now our scale is still limited. When the scale reaches a certain level, we will further explore more models to guide farmers to become rich, strive for direct cooperation with large pharmaceutical factories, and even turn us into a production base of pharmaceutical factories through investment attraction, bringing more breeding benefits and employment opportunities to farmers."
