In the second-level operation, the chickens and feed provided by Tiandihui can be met: The second method is to clear the account first, and then offset it when the unified purchase is made.
Ye Yuming said: "This can greatly increase the number of chickens and ducks and the supply of eggs without expanding the scale of the farm. It is of great benefit to the food supply. It is equivalent to mobilizing the entire county to raise chickens for us."
"This is a good idea. If it succeeds, it can solve the problem of eating eggs once and for all. Wu Nanhai is very interested. The supply of poultry eggs has always been a headache for him. Chickens, ducks and turkeys brought from another time and space are very popular. I have already adapted to the life here and started laying eggs normally. However, in a completely free-range environment, and there is no special feed from another time and space, since the eggs produced by Wu Nanhai Farm are real green eggs, the output is pitiful. Moreover, many fertile eggs must be retained for the purpose of expanding the population. Therefore, there are very few eggs that can actually supply the traveling group.
In another time and space, people who pursued high-priced free-range eggs and "purely natural and green food" here again began to care about when they would have enough eggs to eat. From time to time, some people wonder whether the farm's use of free-range chickens and ducks is too petty bourgeois and ignores the supply of the people?
"People are really hard to take care of." Wu Nanhai had to worry about the daily ration of eggs. Nowadays, there are several families with children who require at least one egg every day. Such a request is reasonable, and Xiao Zishan, who is in charge of internal affairs, naturally cannot refuse. But the output of eggs that Wu Nanhai can supply for consumption every day is only two to three hundred. The food provided in the cafeteria is not enough for a time traveler.
"The reason why we established this local association today," Ye Yuming continued, "is to use it as a less official intermediary agency. In addition to being responsible for planting seedlings and recycling products, it can also provide agricultural technology training to local farmers." Through training, we have gradually cultivated a group of farmers who are very dependent on our seeds and technology. Through them, our agricultural influence will gradually spread to the entire county."
"Today's land meeting is mainly for small landowners, right?" Wu Nanhai said, "What about the big landowners?" These people control more land and manpower. Since we do not carry out land reform, we cannot ignore them.
For landowners, there is another option with greater benefits, which is to cooperate in establishing crop processing plants and food processing plants. After purchasing so many eggs and poultry, the work of establishing processing plants was very urgent. Relying solely on the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Light Industry will lead to too slow development. Bringing some powerful landowners closer and providing manpower and material resources will make development much faster.
Everyone nodded in agreement and believed that this plan was feasible. Chuanchuan Group cannot always do everything by itself, and the promotion of new agricultural production technologies is also very beneficial to the Great Leap Forward of Agriculture.
Wu Nanhai said: "The overall feeling is good, and it can be further refined. Then we can gradually promote it."
So the Committee of Agriculture established the "Council of Agriculture Mutual Aid Group Preparatory Leading Group." Wu Nanhai became the group leader. Ye Yuming serves as secretary-general.
The next day, under the unified leadership of the Executive Committee, a vigorous campaign to “create a thousand acres of high-yielding farmland” began. This plan plans to expand the high-yield and stable-yield fields directly controlled by the farm to 1,000 acres of paddy fields and 500 acres of dry fields.
To ensure high and stable farmland yields, the core is water conservancy projects. Because Yanquezhi studied hydrology and water conservancy, he assumed the overall command of this large-scale water conservancy construction in rural areas. He took several of his students to the construction site with measuring instruments and started measuring work.
Wu Nanhai and Fa Shilu took people to the construction site and built a temporary work shed as a command headquarters. The headquarters is located on a mound half a kilometer away from the river. There is a small forest here. It's cooler to work under a tree. Wu Nanhai also brought Chu Qing. Dedicated to serving daily life. At this moment, the girl was boiling water and making tea on the stove.
After a while, a real Jun kiln porcelain tea cup from the Ming Dynasty was placed on the folding table, and the fragrance of new tea floated in the air.
"It's a pity that there is no iced black tea." Yanquezhi set up all the surveying and mapping equipment and remembered the bottled black tea that he often drank back then.
"If you don't like it, sir, there is kvass and kombucha in the farm. I will go back to get it right away." Chu Qing was very attentive.
"Forget it, it's still warm when you bring it. Yan Quezhi shook his head.
Chu Qing said: "There is spring water here, and the bottle will get cold when soaked in the water."
"No need to go to such trouble." Yan Quezhi was a little at a loss. He had never enjoyed being taken care of by a young girl.
"I'll get it right away." Chu Qing took a step back and ran down the hill quickly.
"Nanhai, what kind of life are you living like this? You are just like a landlord,"
Wu Nanhai quickly interrupted his emotion and lamented that sooner or later he would become a public enemy of men if he continued like this:
"Tell me about the planning."
"Speak the truth.
. Yanquezhi said. It is actually not the right time to carry out water conservancy projects with one old, two and two notes. Wu Nanhai was puzzled: "Why?" "
Hydrological and meteorological data are insufficient.
Although weather condition recording and simple weather forecasting have been carried out since then. However, the group's conscious work of collecting local hydrological and meteorological data only began in the late autumn of the Zhao year. It's not even a year yet. There is no exact data on Lingao's annual average temperature, humidity, precipitation, sunshine hours, and the flow of the Wenlan River in this time and space. And engage in water conservancy construction. These are basic information.
"Can't we use century-old information?"
"The error is quite large." Yan Quezhi opened a thick old Wannanian Lingao Shui Chronicle that he brought with him. "This is the hydrological record of the closest scientific system to this time and space - there is an interval of three hundred years. Although three hundred years of climate change will not cause great changes in the world, a temperature difference of a few degrees will be enough to have a great impact on the climate.
The biggest problem is that the temperature is wrong. In the Lingao century, the extreme minimum temperature in winter was not lower than in the past, but in this time and space, Yanquezhi recorded the temperature for a continuous week. But compared to the fact that it snowed in the Leizhou Peninsula in the last years of Wanli. If there is no frost in Lingao, it will be good. This little ice age in the late Ming Dynasty is really not worth it. When people from the Foreign Trade Commission went to Macau to do business, they saw people in Macau wearing sheepskin robes.
If the temperature is low, there will be less precipitation. According to historical records, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lingao experienced a morning break every ten years and a morning break every five years, and the rainfall in Lingao mainly occurred from May to October every year. Winter and spring are the dry seasons with almost no rain. The obvious alternation between dry and rainy seasons puts higher requirements on resisting early filling.
Yanquezhi cannot speculate on several key issues in water conservancy construction based on simple records of less than a year.
"Now we have to make inferences based on the Lingao hydrological records of the Li century and the general conditions of the Little Ice Age," said Yanquezhi. "If there is a mathematical model, the current hydrological conditions can be roughly estimated. Unfortunately, I don't have one."
"The bottleneck of Lingao's agriculture is water conservancy. Whether it's early or full, it won't be a problem if water conservancy is repaired well. There is nothing here, which is a pity." Fashilu squatted on the small slope, looking at the riverside. A large expanse of barren land is about to be opened up into new productive fields.
Lingao is a place with abundant sunshine and sufficient rainfall. It is a very favorable condition for growing food. But the shortcomings are also obvious: when sowing and transplanting rice seedlings in spring, there is often no rain and there is a serious water shortage. And summer is nine out of ten years. Greatly affected food production. The Wenlan River is close at hand and the water volume is large enough. However, throughout ancient times, except for a few places, Lingao County did not have any water conservancy facilities. Only individual landowners used water trucks to carry irrigation and dug simple small diversion canals themselves.
"The economic strength of small farmers is still too weak." Wu Nanhai said.
"It can be said that Yanquezhi nodded." The investment in water conservancy projects is so large that ordinary farmers cannot accomplish it alone. Even the largest landowner in Lingao couldn't do it. In my memory, I heard seniors who had engaged in water conservancy project construction say that even if it was just a simple water conservancy irrigation canal at the village level, hundreds of strong laborers would be recruited during the off-season. construction site. Slightly larger projects require the mobilization of manpower from the entire county. In an era without construction machinery, it was very common for a water conservancy project to employ thousands of people.
This is obviously impossible for Lingao, which is remote and has a small population. If the Crossing Group had not mastered a sufficient labor force and construction machinery. Building such a thousand acres of high-yielding and stable-yielding farmland is a pipe dream.
The place where Wu Nanhai plans to build high-yield fields is on a riverside wasteland called "Meitaiyang", with a total of five to six thousand acres of land. This kind of flat, open land near a big river is called locally. In addition to sandy soil along the river, Tianyang is mostly brick-red soil with rich organic matter. It is easy to irrigate with water and is a good agricultural land. The main grain-producing areas in Lingao's history are the so-called four "Tianyang" in the north of the county: Bohou , Tiaosu, Pauline and Calais. At this time, these four fields have been opened to a certain extent, but there are still many wastelands.
Although there is no hydrological data available for Wu Nanhai, it is known from the waterline, sand distribution and vegetation conditions. Most areas of the U.S.-Taiwan River will not be flooded during the season when the water level of the Wenlan River is highest. It is relatively safe to open high-yield fields here.
Another main reason why the Agricultural Committee is interested in Zhongmei Taiyang is that it is a deserted area with no fields and no villages. It is easy to acquire - neither Wu Nanhai nor Dude planned to carry out demolition in ancient times. work. This kind of thing is difficult to handle well, and it will arouse public resentment if it is not handled well. ! ~!
