After Wang Ping and others entered the door, they immediately walked over to Zhou Yang.

As soon as Xiao Wenhui saw this posture, he knew that these uncles in the village had something to do with Uncle Zhou.

He immediately asked Bao'er to get off Zhou Yang, and then led her towards the house. Even Zhou Yang was surprised by her sensible appearance.

What surprised him even more was that when his crazy girl heard what this boy said, she slipped out of his body without any hesitation, then took Wen Hui's hand and left.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang felt that something was wrong!

But considering that these two little guys are still young, my worries should be a bit unnecessary.

Then he shook his head and stopped thinking about it!

After Wang Ping and others came over, Zhou Yang immediately smiled and said, "You guys are here before I even enter the house. How do you know I'm back?"

"The members who just received the assignment said they saw you on the road, so we came over!" Wang Ping said with a smile.

Zhou Yang remembered that he did meet a few members on his way back, and it was obviously them who "exposed" his whereabouts.

"Haha, let's go into the house and talk!"

Zhou Yang knew that Wang Ping brought so many village cadres here, there must be something important, otherwise he wouldn't have come so quickly.

"OK!"

Later, under the leadership of Zhou Yang, the group came to the main room.

Li Youwei, Zhang Guiying and others in the room were a little surprised when a large group of village cadres suddenly visited.

The mother and daughter hurriedly carried the two little guys on the kang to the next room to avoid being woken up by these old men.

But they know that these rough guys in the village are not that particular. They yell and scream when they talk, and they can wake you up no matter how deep you sleep, let alone two little babies!

After entering the house, everyone saw Zhang Guiying was there and greeted her one after another.

Because of Li Fengnian and Zhou Yang, the villagers also respected Zhang Guiying.

After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone either got on the kang or sat astride the edge of the kang, and some people sat on stools. In short, they all sat down.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang asked: "Secretary Wang, did you come to see me for something?"

Wang Ping then nodded and said, "There are indeed some things that need you to make up your mind!"

"What's going on?"

“Firstly, I want to tell you about the harvest in the village this year, secondly, I want to talk about the mission food and love food, and thirdly, I want to discuss with you whether our village should go to Houcaodu to buy cattle and sheep this year! "Wang Ping said.

"Let's talk about it one by one. Let's talk about the harvest in the village first!" Zhou Yang said.

Zhou Yang was not in the village during this year's autumn harvest. To be honest, he really wanted to know how the village's harvest was this year and how much grain was harvested in total!

In fact, Zhou Yang also wanted to see if spending 15,000 yuan on so much fertilizer in the spring had any effect.

After all, that is fifteen thousand yuan. Even if it is used to buy grain, it can buy hundreds of thousands of catties.

If the harvest does not increase significantly, it will be a real loss!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ping said with a smile on his face: "Our village's harvest this year is really gratifying, a bumper harvest!"

"Oh, so the output is okay?"

"It's more than okay!"

Then Wang Ping said to Liang Feng on the side: "Accountant Liang, tell Comrade Zhou Yang about the harvest of our village!"

Liang Feng was not afraid of the stage, and immediately said: "Our village does not grow many types this year. We only planted 800 acres of wheat, 1000 acres of potatoes, 1000 acres of corn, 500 acres of millet, and 500 acres of sugar beets. The other ones are planted on the West Beach. We have more than two hundred acres of various vegetables.”

"Now most of the grain has been returned to the warehouse. According to statistics, we harvested more than 380,000 kilograms of wheat this year, with an average yield of 475 kilograms per mu..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately said in surprise: "Wait a minute, what is the average yield per mu?"

"475 pounds!" Liang Feng replied.

"It's so high, right?"

The yield of wheat per mu is 475 kilograms, which does not sound surprising. You must know that after the millennium, the yield of many wheats per mu has easily exceeded 1,000 kilograms.

For example, the yield of Fengde Cunmai No. 20 is usually more than 1,500 kilograms per mu, and in some cases it can even reach 2,000 kilograms.

Compared with this, 475 pounds is simply not worth mentioning.

But this is 1976, and there are no high-yielding varieties.

Babaoliang Village belongs to the dry land of Saibei, and the land is extremely barren.

Normally, the yield of wheat per acre here is between 150 kilograms and 200 kilograms.

Although there are times when the weight exceeds 200 kilograms, it is very rare. In that case, God has to provide food. The weather is smooth throughout the year, and there are no natural or man-made disasters.

In short, in the more than six years Zhou Yang has been in Babaoliang Village, he has never seen the village’s wheat yield exceed 200 kilograms per mu.

On the contrary, low yields of around 100 kilograms per mu are very common. For example, last year, the village's wheat yield per mu was only 130 kilograms.

So last year, the village planted more than 1,500 acres of wheat, and the food produced was almost not enough to meet the mission and love food.

Hearing Zhou Yang's question, Wang Ping immediately smiled and said: "Haha, we thought we had made a mistake at first, so we asked Accountant Liang to recalculate it three times. The yield per mu is indeed 475 kilograms!"

Zhang Genwang knocked the dry tobacco pot under the edge of the kang and said: "I would say that the chemical fertilizers brought back by Zhou Zhiqing played a big role. I have inquired about the harvests of several nearby villages, and none of them has a yield per mu. Over 200 pounds!”

Cui Jinjin also echoed: "Fertilizer is definitely the key, but the role of those motor-driven wells cannot be ignored. Without the irrigation from those wells, it would not be possible to increase production so much!"

“Yes, fertilizers and water wells all contribute!”

"I would say the person who deserves the most credit is Zhou Zhiqing. Without him, our village would be in dire straits this year..."

...

Although Zhang Genwang, Cui Jinjin and others analyzed the reasons for the surge in grain production this year, Zhou Yang was still a little shocked.

Although the village has used a lot of chemical fertilizers and drilled many wells this year, the impact of the cold spring and summer is not small.

Therefore, although Zhou Yang had expected that the wheat yield per mu would increase this year, he did not expect that the increase would be so large.

But considering that the yield per mu is more than 400 kilograms, it’s not too exaggerated, even if I didn’t say anything.

Wang Ping signaled for others to be quiet first, and then asked Liang Feng to continue reporting the situation.

“In addition to wheat, our village also harvested 250,000 jins of millet, with an average yield of 500 jins per mu; harvested more than 1 million jins of corn, with an average yield of 1,000 jins per mu; harvested 3.5 million jins of sugar beets, with an average yield of 7,000 jins per mu; and also harvested potatoes. 2 million catties, with an average yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu.”

Then, Liang Feng continued: "Also, the vegetable fields in our village also had a bumper harvest this year. We harvested more than 100,000 catties of Chinese cabbage, 100,000 catties of gray cabbage, more than 200,000 catties of yellow radish, and more than 300,000 catties of mustard greens. Ten thousand catties, more than 300,000 catties of gourd!”

After listening to Liang Feng's report, Zhou Yang felt numb all over.

He clearly remembered that last year, the total output of all the grain in the village was only 750,000 jins, while the year before last it was 950,000 jins.

Even in the 72 years when Babaoliang Village produced the most grain, all the crops added up to that year were only 1.22 million kilograms, and this has already set a record for the grain production of Babaoliang Village since its establishment.

And this year, after a rough calculation, it actually reached a terrifying and terrifying more than 7 million kilograms.

This does not include vegetables. If the production of vegetables is added, it will be even more terrifying.

Although when they spent a lot of money to buy fertilizer this year, Zhou Yang thought that there might be a bumper harvest of food. After all, apart from the bad weather, they had taken into account other factors that affect the growth of crops.

But after all, he is not an agricultural expert. He can only have a rough idea of ​​the grain output and cannot estimate the specific output at all.

Unexpectedly, this year’s production volume has exploded!

Seeing Zhou Yang's shocked look, Wang Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you scared?"

"kind of!"

Hearing this, everyone in the room also laughed.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhou Yang. When they first calculated the total output, no one was shocked.

Even in terms of performance, they are not as good as Zhou Yang!

At least Zhou Yang only had a slightly surprised expression and no other abnormal reaction, unlike some of them who cried and laughed after hearing the news.

There were even some old men and women who, after hearing that the village produced so much food, ignored the village cadres' obstruction and insisted on going to the small dilapidated temple outside the village to worship the Lord of the Land, which almost frightened Wang Ping and others to death.

All in all, Babaoliang Village achieved a huge harvest of food this year, but after the harvest, there were also many problems!

And these people are so anxious to find Zhou Yang, mainly because they are here to solve the problem!
