After finishing the conversation with his father-in-law and Wang Ping, Zhou Yang returned to the office of the brigade headquarters, and then carefully recalled the method of making biological feed.
Yes, Zhou Yang plans to use biological feed to raise pigs.
Compared with other feeds, the biggest advantage of biological feeds is that they are cheap and most suitable for rural areas.
Because the most important raw material of biological feed is crop straw, as long as it is medium or above various plant straw without mildew or rot, such as the most common corn stalks, soybean stalks, rice straw, wheat straw, etc. in rural areas, and even Weeds and leaves can also be used as raw materials.
Moreover, the production of biological feed is relatively simple. You only need to dry the raw materials and grind them into fine chaff using a grinder.
Then use biological starter to mix and stir with grass powder in a ratio of 1:100, that is, 100 kilograms of grass powder plus 1 kilogram of starter and purified water are added for fermentation.
Don’t worry about raw materials, the most indispensable thing in rural areas is all kinds of straw.
For Zhou Yang, a medicinal chemist, biological fermentation is a child's play, and it can be easily prepared even under the current conditions.
Therefore, Zhou Yang is confident in producing this advanced feed.
And this is what gives Zhou Yang the confidence to lead his members to breed and become rich.
However, if you want to raise pigs well, good feed alone is not enough. The personnel and other supporting facilities must also keep up, and a complete plan must be developed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang took out a pen and paper and immersed himself in formulating a plan to transform the pig farm.
While Zhou Yang was busy thinking about the pig farm, Lu Youming from the Criminal Police Team of the County Public Security Bureau also received approval from the superior department for a public review.
After getting the approval, Lu Youming immediately asked someone to prepare a car, and then went to the Babaoliang brigade to notify Zhou Yang!
........
When Lu Youming came over, Zhou Yang had already made a plan and was planning to have some pigweed and leaves sent to his house to prepare biological feed first.
When I looked up, I saw a small jeep parked in the yard!
You don't need to think about it to know that Lu Youming is here. After all, among the people Zhou Yang knows, he is the only one who is qualified to ride in the small jeep.
Sure enough, when the car door opened, Lu Youming in an olive green uniform strode out.
After the meeting, Lu Youming immediately said straight to the point: "Comrade Zhou Yang, fortunately you have lived up to your mission! The approval from above has come down, agreeing to a public trial of Chen Jianying's case!"
"What time?"
"July 18th!"
"That's three days later, it's quite urgent!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"No, the county leaders also attach great importance to this matter and require it to be dealt with strictly and quickly, so the time schedule is tight!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I think this is good. If a villain like Chen Jianying is not sentenced earlier, why should he be kept alive for the New Year!"
"Hahaha, that's right! I've already conveyed the matter to you, so I won't bother you!"
Seeing that Lu Youming was about to leave, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Captain Lu, wait a moment!"
"Comrade Zhou Yang, is there anything else?"
"Well, I don't know if Captain Lu knows anyone from the Water Conservancy Bureau. Can you help introduce him?" Zhou Yang asked immediately.
"Water Conservancy Bureau? Their director Li Changqing and I are classmates, and we have a good relationship. There is no problem in introducing him!"
"That's great. To be honest, the drought is serious now. We want the Baofeng Reservoir to open the gate and release water to alleviate the drought. But the commune is afraid of affecting fishery production and is trying to shirk it, so I want to ask the Water Conservancy Bureau for help. Leader!" Zhou Yang said truthfully.
Having lived in two lifetimes, Zhou Yang knew very well the principles of finding people to do things for him.
If you are looking for a friend to do something, it doesn't matter if you don't explain it clearly, as long as both parties have a tacit understanding.
But if you ask a friend to recommend someone else to help you with something, you must clearly explain what you want to do, so that your friend will not worry about being implicated when he or she recommends someone to you.
Secondly, the person being introduced also knows why you are looking for him. If the person feels that he cannot handle the matter himself or does not want to handle it for you, he can just find a reason not to see you.
There will be no embarrassment of people coming but not being able to help you.
When Lu Youming heard that it was just a small matter of opening the gate to release water, he immediately said: "Okay, I will take care of this for him. Come meet me at my place tomorrow at noon, and I will make arrangements!"
"How can that be done? I'll find someone to do something for you and let Captain Lu arrange it. What will happen to me then!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "The time will still be noon tomorrow, and the location will be changed to a state-owned hotel. I will make the arrangements!"
But Lu Youming hurriedly waved his hand and said again: "Let me make the arrangements. To be honest, I accept your favor for this case this time, so I'll treat you to this meal!"
"Brother Lu, if you want to treat me, I will definitely not compete with you next time, but this time, I have to treat you!"
Seeing Zhou Yang's firm attitude, Lu Youming could only say: "Okay, okay, then it's up to you!"
Then the two briefly chatted for a few more words, and then Lu Youming left Zhou Yang's office!
After sending Lu Youming away, Zhou Yang immediately decided to go to the reservoir to have a look. It might be helpful to convince Director Li tomorrow.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang immediately went to his old house to borrow a bicycle and went straight to the Baofeng Reservoir a few kilometers away.
........
Baofeng Reservoir is located northwest of Babaoliang Village, about 7 kilometers away from the village.
Riding his bicycle, Zhou Yang soon arrived near the reservoir.
Looking from a distance, Baofeng Reservoir is surrounded by several green mountains with lush vegetation.
There are many tall trees on the edge of the reservoir. These trees are connected with the large tracts of green on the mountain, like a beautiful landscape painting, very beautiful.
After parking his bicycle, Zhou Yang hiked up the embankment of Baofeng Reservoir.
Standing on the embankment and looking down, I saw that the waters of the reservoir are clear and wide, so clear that you can see the water plants inside, like a piece of flawless emerald inlaid among the mountains.
Looking into the distance, Zhou Yang also saw several small wooden boats wandering on the water, probably comrades from the management office working on them.
The scenery here is naturally excellent. If it were outside the usual time, Zhou Yang would definitely not be able to help but stop and admire it for a while.
But now he obviously did not have this intention, so he observed carefully along the embankment.
Zhou Yang knew that serious accidents like reservoir breaches could have many causes, such as earthquakes, landslides, extreme storms or other natural disasters such as melting snow.
But apart from these natural factors, others can be roughly divided into four categories, namely foundation defects, overtopping, conduit and valve failures, and pipe and water seepage damage.
Judging from Zhou Yang's understanding, when the Baofeng Reservoir dam burst, it did indeed rain heavily and the dam was overtopped.
However, general overtopping will not cause the reservoir's embankment to collapse so quickly, so Zhou Yang suspected that there were other situations.
After walking along the embankment, Zhou Yang found nothing unusual. The entire embankment seemed to have no problems at all!
However, Zhou Yang knew that there must be something wrong with this levee. This was a painful lesson learned at the expense of dozens of lives in his previous life, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
At that moment, Zhou Yang decided to take a look under the embankment.
Zhou Yang didn't dare to go down on the side where there was water, but it was fine on the other side where there was no water.
Zhou Yang carefully climbed from the top to the bottom of the embankment. Zhou Yang saw that the spillway below was very wide.
But it may be because the water has not been released for a long time. The place is already overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a grassland with lush grass.
After walking around the embankment below, he really discovered a lot of problems.
First, Zhou Yang discovered that the area around the dam foundation was very humid. Even at noon when the sun was shining brightly, there were faint condensations of water droplets. This could only mean one problem, that is, there was seepage around the foundation.
Although not immediately obvious, the hazards are significant because damage from seepage can lead to structural instability and potential dam failure.
Secondly, Zhou Yang also discovered a large number of mouse holes. The number was jaw-dropping.
Although Zhou Yang currently does not know how deep these mouse holes are and whether they have caused fundamental damage to the dam body, Zhou Yang knows that animal holes are also an important reason for cracks in the dam structure.
Among all the animals that threaten dams, rats rank very high, second only to beavers and termites.
Now there is seepage in the Baofeng Reservoir, and a large number of rats have been found digging and building burrows. If there is another extreme rainfall, the collapse of the embankment will become inevitable.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang recorded all these situations one by one and planned to have a good talk with Director Li tomorrow.
