Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 307 Cat Commander

This time he flew directly from XJ to the Northeast. Firstly, there are some glorious business projects to be negotiated here; Take a look at Tian Yongtai's Daohuaxiang rice breeding ground, what is the current situation of the local rice processing factory in Wuchang?It would be even better if he could find an opportunity to contract the land like XJ did!In the future, the number and scale of contracted land in Northeast China will also be large, and the soil quality will be more fertile and the yield will be higher.

When he arrived in the Northeast, Li Lei also received a warm welcome from the local leaders. He inspected several places and invested in several agricultural projects according to local conditions. Both sides were very satisfied; then Li Lei had time to visit his wife in Wuchang. It was found that Yu Jingshu's materials had been collected almost, and there were several boxes of written materials and tapes of interviews with local people, which was enough to create a civilian epic like "Crossing the Guandong".

"With so much effort, it is enough to write a good work! The works you published in the past were either essays or short and medium stories. Now if you write a high-quality full-length work, your creative career will basically be No more regrets!" Looking at these materials, Li Lei also admired her efforts.

"It's almost there now. According to the outline, there will be some content related to the entry into the Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty in the early stage. It is not enough to find these materials in the Wuchang. I also want to go to Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Shanhaiguan and even Shandong to have a look and collect more. Materials! But this time it’s much easier than before, a friend helped to contact the local museum of literature and history, then go over and chat with them, and then just copy some materials!” Yu Jingshu was still a little bit uncomfortable with all the preparations. satisfy.

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm pretty busy with what I should be busy with during this time, so let's go with you! It's just the two of us traveling together!" Thinking about it, since she had Li Yanyou, Yu Jingshu took care of the children first, When Li Yan was a little older and had Li Jiayue again, the two of them hadn't gone out alone for a few years. Now that they had such an opportunity, Li Lei naturally didn't want to miss it.

"I'll have someone send these materials back. First, I'll find someone in Zhongzhou to help organize them into electronic files, so that it will be easier for you to look up any information! For written materials, just type them directly. Ask someone to listen and type the audio files, and then copy the original materials. Both the electronic data and the electronic data are numbered and saved, even if there is a small omission in the input, it is convenient to search for the original data and check!" Li Lei helped out with an idea.

With so much information, it is too troublesome to search when you need it. It is much more convenient to use new technology, make it into an electronic document, rely on the search and search function, and you can directly complete what you want to find by entering keywords. The traditional method of searching sometimes Things that can't be found out in a few days can be done in a second with a computer!

This kind of technology is very common for Internet writers of later generations, especially those who write fanfiction. Once the original works of millions of words are put into the document, they can search for whatever they want, without having to flip through the book page by page. ; But it is a very new thing for the current writers, and most people can't do it, because now except for a few writers such as Wang Xiaobo, most people don't know much about computer technology, and they need people to input data It also costs money, so much material is fully recorded, and it also involves the conversion of voice and text. This cost is not low. How can ordinary writers have this money?

"I called Professor Shu and asked him to choose some students from poor families to help, and it will be considered a work-study program!" Now that Professor Shu has retired from the school, he continues to play a role in Huinong, but the previous relationship has not yet been established. In conclusion, the school has absolutely no reason to object to this kind of thing that is beneficial to both parties.

"You still have a lot of ways, and I am worrying about how to organize so many materials. I will be much more relaxed after you deal with it this way! Then I will sit back and enjoy the achievements." Yu Jingshu immediately started to get busy, "Then I will sort out these materials first. Come on, it will be more convenient for them to handle it or for me to check it myself."

"I'll help you!" Li Lei rolled up his sleeves repeatedly, and began to pack these materials into different boxes according to the requirements of time, place, and content. The two of them worked for a long time before finishing it, and then handed these things over to Wang Shibin , Let him drive back to Zhongzhou and hand it over to the students of the Agricultural College.

Li Lei thought of document processing software through this matter. Although Qiu Bojun released WPS five years ago, he has not updated it in recent years, and WORD has the problem of not being used to it. I don’t know if he recently If you are short of money, please help. If the new WPS can be developed sooner, Yu Jingshu can write a book with less effort. By the way, I can get to know Rebs, who is working in Jinshan at this time.

Forget it, I finally got some free time, so I don't think about these things, I'll talk about them when I go to the capital for a meeting; Li Lei put these things behind him, and started to deal with his last job in Wuchang, first go to Tian Yongtai to see The breeding progress of Daohuaxiang rice.

"This year we started planting on a large scale, and the first batch has already been harvested. Judging from the current situation, the yield and taste are very good, better than the previous rice! But there is a problem, the ability to resist diseases and insect pests has declined, so we have to Continue to improve!" Tian Yongtai was pleased with a bit of regret, the comfort was because he had bred a good variety, and the regret was because this new variety was not perfect.

"Let's go step by step. When all the rice is harvested, go to Hainan, so that the breeding speed will be faster!" Li Lei comforted. The Northeast can only plant one season of rice every year. After this season is harvested, we can only wait until next year. Planting again, it would be too wasteful to be idle for half a year, and if you go to Hainan, you can continue the breeding work. Li Lei also asked Li Denghai and Mr. Yuan to help, and contacted Tian Yongtai for the land, and Mr. Yuan would also It will be nearby. After the two of them communicate, the completed version of Daohuaxiang rice may be cultivated earlier.

"That's a good relationship. I've been looking for an opportunity to learn from Academician Yuan for a long time!" Tian Yongtai was overjoyed when he heard that Mr. Yuan was nearby. Mr. Yuan is one of the first batch of 96 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

"Relevant preparations have been made by Huinong Hainan Branch. When the time comes, you can go there with your manpower and rice seeds." After explaining clearly, Li Lei left the breeding field and went to the rice processing factory for inspection. Inside the rice processing factory The largest area is not a processing workshop, but a warehouse for storing rice. Here, Li Lei met a group of special staff.

A gray-haired old man led a large group of cats to guard around the granary. They divided their tasks in an orderly manner. Some patrolled along fixed roads, some stared at corners vigilantly, and some sprang out quickly. With his head in his mouth and a mouse in his mouth, he came to ask for credit in front of the old man.

Li Lei had heard about this kind of thing for a long time and didn't think it was a big deal, but Yu Jingshu was very surprised, "Why are there so many cats? And they are so obedient?"

"There must be cats in the granary. If there are no cats, the rats will be a disaster!" Li Lei introduced the situation to her. Where there is grain, there are rats. In order to catch the mice, the granary staff tried many methods. The first method was Put rat poison, but the rats will not die immediately after eating the poison, and they will pollute the rice if they struggle to run into the rice stacks, and the country also has regulations that rat poison cannot be used in the granary. Later, everyone began to try to put mouse traps to kill rats, but Rats are becoming more and more cunning, and they are not fooled at all; moreover, rats have a strong reproductive ability, and a female rat can breed nearly 200 mice each year. If this counts, even if the granary is full of traps, the rats may not be completely wiped out .

Then someone gave Li Lei an idea, asking him to invite the cat commander, the old man who commanded the cat army in front of him. He used to be an employee of the state-owned grain depot, and he was best at training cats to catch mice. He didn't leave even after retirement. There are still a lot of cats at home, so Huinong Processing Factory invited him and his cat army, and then found a group of cats for him to train.

Needless to say, this method is very effective. After Commander Mao came, the number of mice in the granary plummeted, and the loss of rice was also reduced a lot.

"Mr. Liu, can you show us the power of the cat army?" Seeing that Yu Jingshu was interested, Li Lei stepped forward to ask Mr. Liu, the cat commander, to demonstrate.

"咻~~" Mr. Liu pinched his lips with two fingers and blew, and all the cats rushed over from all directions, gathered around him, squatting obediently on the ground with their heads raised, waiting for his order; of course, not all of them The cats are so obedient, but there is still a cat with black fur and white stripes on the shoulders, as if he didn't hear it, still chasing a small ball not far away.

"This one has only been trained for two and a half months, and it hasn't learned anything! But it doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while more training." Mr. Liu stepped forward and slipped it over. Mr. Liu's hand screamed aggrievedly, as if to say, what are you doing.

Then he started distributing cat food. The cat food was not packed in bowls or basins, but in bags shaped like mice, and he threw them to the cats one by one. Mr. Liu explained as he threw them "When I first raised cats, they were not interested in mice at all. Later, I came up with this method. I put cat food in this kind of bag. Only by scratching and biting the bag can I eat food. This will subconsciously He told the cat to eat only by biting the mouse! After feeding for a period of time, the cat would jump up and bite the mouse as soon as it saw it.”

"Then you can't get enough food every day. It's not that the food expenses given by the factory are not enough, but that if you feed them enough, they won't want to catch mice! So take care of it in the morning, and if you want to eat when you're hungry, you can Trade mice, catch a mouse for a bag of cat food!"

Yu Jingshu discovered that the Cat Commander does not distribute cat food casually, those who come here without bringing anything will not be given, and the cat with a mouse proudly placed in front of the Cat Commander will be rewarded with a bag of cat food , These cats jumped up and grabbed the bag in the air before it hit the ground, then looked around vigilantly, ran to a safe place quickly, and then bit the bag to enjoy it with peace of mind.

After watching for a while, it seemed that some special cats were rewarded even if they didn't catch mice, so Yu Jingshu asked, "Old Liu, are these not well trained?"

"No, every cat has its own division of labor. Not all cats have to rely on mice for food. These smaller and slower cats are scouting cats. Their main job is to send out the mouse as soon as they find a mouse. News, summon other cats to round up the mice together, as long as the task of the capture team is completed well, they will also have food!"

"These robust and fast cats are patrol cats. Their job is to patrol around the factory building. Once they find traces of mice around them, they will be strangled quickly; the scout cats carry out investigations in fixed places on a daily basis. , found the mouse and jumped on it, the frightened mouse ran to the open space, trying to escape by taking advantage of the terrain, but it didn't know that the scout cat had already informed the patrol cat, and the patrol cat immediately participated in the siege of the mouse; The cat is chasing after the mouse, and the mouse is running wildly. The patrolling cat has already aimed at the direction where the mouse is escaping, and when the mouse approaches, it will fly over quickly and beat the mouse half to death with a single slap. This is called group tactical cooperation. .”

"In addition, these cats are latent cats. Their hearing is more sensitive than ordinary cats. They can capture the sound of mice in factories with relatively loud noises, and then observe the terrain carefully. They lurk on the path that mice must pass, and kill them decisively once they pass by! The terrain of the factory is relatively complicated, if there are no lurking cats, patrol cats and scout cats alone cannot cut off the traces of rats!"

Oh, I understand this, it’s just like playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. On the front of the patrol cat and the scout cat, the lurking cat uses the terrain cover as an old silver coin. Li Lei understands it. He used to only know that cats are used to prevent rats in the grain depot. But I didn’t expect that there are so many ways, and it seems that cats can be used not only in grain depots, but also in food processing factories and farms, so I asked, “Old Liu, can you teach other cats how to train them? People? We Huinong still have many factories across the country, I feel that every factory needs such an army of cats!"

"There's nothing you can't teach! I used to work at the grain station and took care of apprentices. You arrange someone to come and I'll teach you!" It seems that Commander Mao also wants to carry forward his craft.

"Then it's settled! I'll arrange someone to come over right away! At that time, you will be given a bonus for every one you teach!" Li Lei will not let people work for nothing.

And Yu Jingshu is also thinking, this is quite interesting, maybe it can be written in a book, and when it is filmed on TV, the audience will definitely find it interesting.

　Sorry, it's still a bit late.
