Crimson Dawn

Chapter 117

"The canal has to be 1.5 meters deep, oh, that's five feet deep. It's not just about drawing the water out of the ground. Now the underground water is full, and the crops will soak up after planting. You should always know this." This is in the thatched shed of the engineering department of the insurance regiment, and the speaker is Wu Longfu, who is in charge of drawing up the engineering plan.He is one of the few engineering construction talents in the People's Party, and he is now leading the engineering department.Wu Longfu himself doesn't know how to grow crops, but this does not prevent him from giving orders to a group of comrades who know a little bit about how to grow crops.

"Do you know how tall five feet is?" It was Chai Qingguo who asked.Among the first four company commanders, Chai Qingguo ranked the second company commander, and is now the deputy head of any regiment.Today, when the head of the second regiment is vacant, Chai Qingguo very much hopes to become the head of the second regiment.This is a big cadre who can manage four thousand people.So Chai Qingguo, who had a little experience in farming, was very unconvinced when faced with a section chief who had never said a few words, and who was also an international student who claimed to have never farmed before.

"Five feet? I just showed half of my head when I jumped in." Wu Longfu is also about 1.7 meters tall, and he is not short in this day and age.

"Do you know how much effort it takes to dig so deep?" Chai Qingguo was extremely displeased with Wu Longfu's confident attitude.

"I have calculated that a trench at least ten kilometers long needs to be dug. In other words, a trench 1.5 miles long must be dug. The trench is 4000 meters deep and one meter wide. One person can dig ten meters in one day, and a group of [-] people , that is, it can be done in one day. Two days at most.” The result of the numerical calculation is simple and ruthless.Wu Longfu gave a standard answer.

"You fart. Try digging this kind of muddy land. Dig ten meters a day! You're exhausting people." Chai Qingguo at least received military training from the insurance regiment in Anqing, and knew how long a meter is.

"This is an organizational arrangement. Since I said that one person has to dig ten meters, I will also participate in digging a ten-meter-long ditch myself." Wu Longfu's answer was completely in line with the standard.Chen Ke had asked that if the engineering department made a plan, then the entire engineering department would have to complete the workload of ordinary soldiers.

Chai Qingguo knew that he couldn't argue against Wu Longfu in terms of numbers, and he had no intention of doing so.He just asked: "What is the purpose of digging such a long ditch?"

"You also know that this is a muddy land. These ditches are like wells. The water in the ground will seep out and enter these ditches. We only need to pump out the water in the ditches to make the land dry faster. The food also It will hit more. Otherwise, what can we grow in the muddy land?"

Chai Qingguo was speechless. Although he had cultivated land, he was not proficient in farming.But next, Wu Longfu said something that Chai Qingguo couldn't understand, "We have a revolution, and we must talk about scientific farming. The previous situation of relying on the harvest can no longer occur."

Chai Qingguo didn't know what "scientific farming" was.In fact, to put it bluntly, let alone a second-hand man like Chai Qingguo, even old farmers in this era actually don't know what "scientific farming" is.Veteran farmers know about the selection of large seeds for raising seedlings, as well as many farm tasks during the growing season, and they can even be called proficient.However, in the case of large-scale water conservancy construction, how to adopt the most efficient drainage, drought resistance, and serve the land.The old farmers were inexperienced.

Wu Longfu doesn't know how to farm, but he has rich construction experience.He used to study railway construction in the United States, and worked on American railways after graduation.The reason why he returned to China was very simple. American railway engineering companies did not treat workers as human beings at all. Even though they were technicians, their counterparts in American companies also looked down on a Chinese.So Wu Longfu saved a sum of money and returned to China.It is important to build the railway, but working in a place full of malice and injustice makes this young man extremely dissatisfied.

After returning to China, Wu Longfu first went to the railway bureau of the imperial court, but soon found that, compared with the American railway companies, in addition to the same problems in China, there were other bad habits.After all, the United States is an industrial country, and the company's operations are relatively mature. Although the boss is "God", there is only one God in the company.In China, officials who are ignorant and domineering are even more hateful.The bosses are just there to make money and the foreign colleagues are just a bunch of jerks.It's clear that this group of bad guys bullied you.However, the superior mentality of the bureaucrats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is even more difficult to accept.Wu Longfu is also an international student after all, so he has at least some self-confidence and self-esteem.He can understand "bad guys", but he can't accept the arrogance of bureaucrats who treat people like dung.Then he just quit his job.

After meeting Chen Ke in Shanghai, Wu Longfu felt that Chen Ke was very suitable for him.Not just a common language of scholarship.More importantly, although Chen Ke has the "style" of a leader, Chen Ke persuaded everyone by proposing practical solutions.He never thought that he should be above others, this attitude was very suitable for Wu Longfu.

The formulation and concept of "scientific farming" this time was explained in detail by Chen Ke to Wu Longfu, and he received Wu Longfu's full support.Chen Ke made it clear that after these lands entered the hands of the insurance group, it was impossible to hand them over.The entire land of Fengtai County will form multiple farms.The irrigation and drainage of these farms will be a whole large system project.Wu Longfu's experience in railway construction is particularly valuable, because Wu Longfu is the only one who has seen various landforms and has construction experience on these landforms.

His knowledge can get such a high evaluation, and he can command the whole army to work hard for a large-scale project as the head of the army.This kind of temptation was not something Wu Longfu could resist.Although Wu Longfu's family also had land in the countryside, since his family's land was not confiscated, Wu Longfu didn't care about the future of the landlords in Fengtai County at all.

Having stayed in the United States, Wu Longfu has at least heard of those large farms in the United States.Being able to participate in such a project, Wu Longfu can be said to be willing to do his best.He does not want to waste the experience he has learned from the United States.Although there are no qualified colleagues under his command, Wu Longfu firmly believes that he can definitely complete the project on such an idea land.American railway companies not only build railways, they can also acquire land around the railways for various developments.Wu Longfu is not ignorant of the development and design of some engineering and construction projects.

No matter how Wu Longfu and Chen Ke can talk together, when looking forward to the future economic construction of Fengtai County, Wu Longfu and Chen Ke can almost draw a very similar blueprint in their minds.But Chai Qingguo couldn't draw this blueprint, and he couldn't even imagine it.This is not a scene that Chai Qingguo, who has never seen that kind of large-scale agriculture with his own eyes, can imagine.But the specific work is real, and Chai Qingguo knows how much work he has to do with the soldiers who are already full of complaints.

"Being a soldier and eating food is justified." Chai Qingguo said word by word, "But after we take down Fengtai, is this still a soldier?"

Wu Longfu didn't care about Chai Qingguo's excitement. He calmly explained: "You should ask Brigadier Chen about this question. The job assigned to me by Brigadier Chen is to formulate what to do. As far as I know, Brigadier Chen assigned Your job is to do what I say, and you do it. Company Commander Chai, oh, Deputy Commander Chai, if you have any questions, you can talk to Brigadier Chen after you finish your work. You and What I said, I can only say, I have made a work plan, I have told you about the work plan. You should go to work now."

"Your mother! You still use the official title to suppress me? You deserve it too?" Chai Qingguo exploded after hearing this.

Wu Longfu ignored Chai Qingguo at all. He stood up, called the comrades from the engineering department, and walked away with simple surveying and mapping tools on his shoulders.Chai Qingguo was left yelling and cursing in the hut of the engineering department.

After Chai Qingguo scolded, the commander of the first battalion next to him, Renro Kuroshima, couldn't help but stop him. "Deputy head, what should we do now?"

"What should I do? What should I do! Grandma's father won't do it." Chai Qingguo was furious.

"But if you don't do it, today's work arrangement..."

Before Kuroshima Jinichiro finished speaking, Chai Qingguo immediately interrupted Hei Dao, "You Japanese kid, don't talk so much nonsense, this theory is not as good as you Japanese." At that time, Yuan Shikai also borrowed tens of thousands of foreign soldiers, and the Japanese army dispatched thousands of people.Chai Qingguo didn't have the slightest liking for the Japanese.

"Deputy head, we have received an order to complete the work of the engineering department. You can quit now, but is the first group just waiting for it? If Brigadier Chen asks, how should we explain it?" Hei Dao didn't say anything. angry.Chen Ke specifically told the Japanese comrades about the difficulties they might encounter.For Chai Qingguo's attack this time, Hei Dao was mentally prepared.

"Hmph!" Hearing that Hei Dao also pulled Chen out, he couldn't say anything against it.But Chai Qingguo had no intention of just bowing his head and obeying orders, "Go back and inform the troops to do the work first. I'll go to Chen Ke now and ask him what he means. Something will happen if this quarrel continues."

After finishing speaking, Chai Qingguo turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something, turned his head with a vicious look, and said loudly to Hei Dao: "Since the people in the engineering department have said it, they will also dig ten meters. Question, you send someone to watch them carefully to see if they have dug ten meters. I still don’t believe it, these people can bear that crime.”

Hei Dao was a little at a loss for Chai Qingguo's outrageous behavior, and he couldn't say he knew or didn't know.Seeing that Hei Dao didn't respond, Chai Qingguo asked viciously, "Did you hear that? Send it to me to watch. You must not let those people be lazy. Did you hear me!"

Island had to answer.

Chai Qingguo stared at the underworld again, then angrily left the thatched cottage and headed towards the county seat.
