Chapter 89 The New Farm ([-])

"Then your physical strength is still pretty good."

"Speaking like I am very old, I am only 30 years old!"

"what?"

"It looks like this after working at the grassroots level for a long time." Yang Baogui smiled brightly, "Let's go together." He yelled, "Beibei, go! Drive Wu Kelan back!" Followed him With the sound of yelling, a dog ran out quickly and drove back a big white pig that was trying to scurry to the side of the road to chew on the bark.

"It's called Beibei?"

"That's right, there are six in total, exactly: 'Beibei', 'Jingjing', 'Huanhuan', 'Yingying', 'Nini'."

"Is there another one?" Wu Nanhai was infected by his bad taste, eager to know what the last one was called.

"It's called the Olympics." Yang Baogui said with a serious face, and roared again: "Olympics!" A dog that had been walking quietly sprinted, ran to his feet, and circled happily.He stroked its neck hair in satisfaction.

"You really know how to train dogs."

"This is my specialty, not a profession. It's purely for fun." Yang Baogui waved his whip, making loud whips one after another, "I can also drive carts. I learned from farmers in the countryside. It's just that there are no carts here. The industrial group said to make some large rubber-wheeled carts, put them on the Yunnan horses we captured, and the second set of carts can pull a thousand catties without any problem. The group of people said that this kind of cart is backward, and they are working hard to develop it. Four-wheeled agricultural carriages are all nonsense, can that kind of cart be moved by a small horse?"

"Using the Tieling horse can definitely pull it," Wu Nanhai looked at the two particularly tall and strong heavy horses in the queue.This is the best draft horse bred in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It has the bloodlines of many of the best draft horses and riding horses in Europe.The maximum pulling force can reach 450 kg, and a single horse can pull a double-rubber wheel cart with a load of 1000 kg.

"It can be pulled, but these two horses have to be kept as stallions, so they are not suitable for more work. Moreover, the breed of the Tieling horse has actually degenerated a lot." (Note: The Tieling horse stopped breeding in the 90s. work, there are only a very small number of degenerated stallions left. This breed will disappear soon) Yang Baogui said with a sigh, "Nanhai, to be honest, I am very worried about our agricultural team."

"Well, I also think there are some problems, but there are so many things, I don't know where to start?" He followed Yang Guigui's example, waving the willow branches in his hand to drive the livestock.

"Nanhai, you are a student of agriculture, so you should know what is the foundation of high yield in modern agriculture, right?"

"Pesticides, chemical fertilizers, improved seeds, water conservancy, genetically modified, soil chemistry..." Wu Nanhai said,

"Is it possible to replicate such a pattern here?"

"It's more difficult. The conditions are too bad. Large-scale water conservancy and the promotion of improved varieties are more realistic means of increasing production." Wu Nanhai thought, "Fertilizers are okay. The chemical group will work out the combined ammonia manufacturing plant and sulfuric acid plant. But pesticides It is very difficult, this is the organic chemical industry, I think it is impossible without three to forty years of industrial development accumulation."

"No," Yang Baogui shook his head, "These problems are superficial. The biggest problem is that modern society is a large division of labor system, and agriculture is no exception. Under such a division of labor system, the professional capabilities of us agricultural technicians are practical. It's degraded -- and so are the farmers.

"In the past, farmers had to choose their own seedlings, but now they only need to buy seeds directly. The agricultural technicians actually know what seeds to use, how to manage them after sowing, when to apply which pesticides, and what fertilizers to apply..."

"There are no seed companies, no pesticide factories, veterinary medicine factories, agricultural machinery stations... we have to do everything by ourselves. We are all cultivated under this large division of labor system, and we only know what we need to do. Modern agriculture is a complete chain, and we have only a few sporadic links."

He pointed to the pigs that were being driven by the dogs: "Let's just talk about those pigs—Georgia! Where are they going!" Yang Guigui scolded loudly, and drove a pig back with a whip On the way, "everyone is counting on them to start a large-scale pig raising industry and live a life of eating meat every day, right? No one knows how many vaccinations a young pig needs to be vaccinated from birth to slaughter in a modern pig farm. How much medicine, and how much medicine is used for disinfection in the pigsty. Even if such a person accidentally causes swine fever, a large number of them will die."

Wu Nanhai told him that he became worried. It's not that he hadn't thought about these issues, but he had never thought about them so deeply.

"It seems to be rebuilt one by one." He looked at the few carefree pigs, humming and looking for food as they walked, "Do they also have names?"

"Yes, they are both boars and sows, so it's easy to remember their names."

"What is your name?"

"Ukelan, Dabobo, Georgia, Eros—"

"Haha, Eros must be that boar, right?" Wu Nanhai pointed at the most ferocious and largest pig.

"No, that end is called the Soviet Union."

The two walked and chatted.The simple road of more than ten kilometers is well maintained, except that the dust is a bit heavy after the car drives past, and the livestock are walking leisurely on the road.On one side is the surging Wenlan River. In the sparse farmland on both sides, the ears of rice are already ripe, but there is no familiar scene of rolling rice waves-the agriculture here is still quite backward.Wu Nanhai walked with emotion all the way, thinking about how to turn everyone's knowledge into productivity, but the difficulties in front of him were overlapping.

The road is very peaceful. Although some local people can occasionally be seen working in the fields, they are far away. The towers along the road also give travelers a great sense of security.These originally rough wooden towers have now been rebuilt into three-story blockhouses with a masonry mixed structure. Searchlights are installed on the roof, and there is an empty field surrounded by deep trenches and barbed wire downstairs. In case of any attack, Pedestrians and vehicles on the road can dodge quickly.

The entire marching column had been walking for almost three hours before arriving at the camp at Bairen Beach.All the members of the Agricultural Committee are waiting for them—today is the day when the Agricultural Committee officially moves into its new location.

Unlike those departments that have already settled in the executive committee compound, the entire team of the Agricultural Committee is located in what was later called the "Nanhai Model Demonstration Farm".Wu Nanhai was educated in university: agriculture is not achieved by sitting in an office and writing plans and reports, but by each agricultural technician step by step in the land, fish ponds and fruit trees.As an agricultural technician, you have to live close to the fields.

The entire farm is built with the latest red bricks produced by the brick kiln. There is probably no more magnificent building complex in Bairen City: offices, agricultural technology laboratories, warehouses, agricultural machinery stations, cellars, and neatly arranged valleys. barn; beside the river is a hydraulic mill, and the newly built corral exudes the fragrance of logs.The only concrete buildings are a row of pressurized digesters - treating all kinds of garbage, waste water and excrement from the living and agricultural areas.The generated biogas is supplied to the canteen for food.In the future, when there is more waste, more methane generated from the waste can be used to generate electricity.The biogas slurry is good for fertilization or feed additives, and the final biogas residue is still a good fertilizer.

There was originally a permanent glass greenhouse in the construction plan, but now the industrial sector has not yet produced glass, so let’s take a break for now. Fortunately, Hainan has a subtropical climate, and the accumulated temperature is sufficient even during the Little Ice Age. .

"The place assigned to us as a test field," Ye Yuming pointed to the benchmark as the land boundary, "extends from here to the hydraulic mill by the river."

The distance from here to the river is more than 100 meters, and the length is also 200 meters. It is an irregular rectangular square. Calculated, it has a modern area of ​​more than 20 mu.It is no problem to use it as a vegetable field and an experimental field.A small part of this land has been leveled now, and some vegetables such as cabbage, green vegetables, green peppers, and tomatoes have been sown. At this time, some vegetables have entered the harvesting period, and the dining tables in the cafeteria can be a little richer.

However, most of the land is still in a state of more rocks and less soil, and there are still many tree roots left. The land needs to be leveled, and some soil may have to be brought over.He observed the height of the river bank and the waterline during the wet season, and estimated how many irrigation canals were needed, and whether to build flood protection dikes and other water conservancy facilities.Where to plant fruit trees, dig fishponds, and where to temporarily settle the tropical crop seedlings brought in, all these have to be considered one by one.

The space of the entire building complex of the Council of Agriculture should not be neglected, and the courtyard economy can be developed. A grape trellis can be set up on the aisle in the yard. The grape trellis on half an acre of land can harvest 1000 catties of grapes, and it does not occupy land and can shade.Some fruit trees could be planted behind the house...

He thought to himself, he was very happy.But now there is a shortage of labor, so I need to ask Wu De to send a few local farmers to help with the work—it is best to hire them directly as long-term workers.As for the local agricultural situation, it is best to find a landlord to ask, but I heard that both the landlord and the rich peasants have been released.It's a pity that these people have rich experience in agricultural production and know a lot about the social conditions in the countryside.But he can't speak Lingao dialect, so he has to find someone to translate it. It's troublesome. It seems that he has to learn it by himself. Don't have to say, in the future, you have to have some emotional exchanges when asking for a wife and a concubine. Do you want to start with ah oh goose shift ?But all of this will be discussed tomorrow. After walking for several hours, he is really tired.

This day he fell asleep in the office of the Council of Agriculture. After so many days, he finally had fast tiles on his head and was able to sleep in the house. He felt very happy. It seems that happiness really depends on comparison.
