Chapter 378

"Finally, we've passed every level." Wu Nanhai let out a sigh of relief when he saw the tumbling ears of rice and the rice fields where a bumper harvest was in sight.Looking at the construction site of the high-yield fields in the distance, the United States and Taiwan Ocean are in full swing, and he is very happy.

Although the early planting of rice for the first time was stumbling along the way, the harvest was not as good as expected, at least I had accumulated enough experience.Many practical problems also have solutions.He estimates that according to the current construction speed, the 1500 mu of newly created high-yielding fields will have to wait until August at least for sowing.It should be able to catch up with the late production.

Of course, it is impossible to achieve the level of 800 catties per mu like in modern time and space.It is estimated that the production capacity per mu of the experimental field will reach about [-] jin.This result is considered a miracle in Lingao.

As for Wang Tiantian, his condition is not good, generally weighing only 300-400 catties.Moreover, Wu Nanhai found that in the absence of sufficient agricultural support and field management, the performance of hybrid rice is not much better than that of ordinary lodging-resistant varieties.The yield per mu of hybrid rice in Wangtiantianli is only 50-100 jin more than that of other varieties, and the difference is not big.

However, this matter and the sweet potato harvest in April have caused a sensation in Lingao County.The landowners are asking, what kind of seeds did the Australians use?The agricultural workers on the farm have suddenly become popular now, as long as they are recognized on the road, they will be dragged to drink and ask for news.Some households of rich peasants and small landlords expressed their willingness to marry their daughters to them as long as they were willing to change jobs.It is not uncommon for people to make friends with farmers through various methods with the intention of getting some seeds at the time of harvest.

Wu Nanhai didn't care about this. It was meaningless to save hybrid rice, and sweet potatoes would be poisoned. Without the support of the agricultural technology system of the Council of Agriculture, this kind of miracle would never happen again.However, in terms of formality, he still held several conferences, announcing that the outflow of seedlings was strictly prohibited, and once found out, "send them to the labor reform team."

The "reform through labor team" in Lingao is now a place where the aboriginal laborers have heard about it.In order to enhance the law-abiding awareness of the laborers, Wu De will organize the indigenous people to visit the labor reform team from time to time, so that they can fully realize how happy it is to work honestly for the Time Travel Group.

Some people who consciously have some relationship with the time-traveling group, such as Zhang Youfu, who was in charge of the peace talks between the county government and the time-traveling group last year, came to Wu De from time to time, implying that they wanted to get some new seeds.As for Fu Buer, who was captured and later became the representative of Meiyang Village, I heard that the thieves have made a new trick here, and they harvested seven or eight hundred catties of rice at the first time, and they can no longer sit still. Living.He hurried to Dongmen City to find Ma Peng, hoping that Ma Peng could match him up with some important person in the farm. "It doesn't matter if you spend some money," he said.

But Ma Peng told him not to worry: "The chiefs are going to set up some kind of 'Tiandihui' recently to help everyone farm. If you want to learn their farming methods, just go to the 'Tiandihui' office in Dongmen City to register." That's it."

"Tiandihui?" Fu Buer was puzzled.

"It's the Tiandihui," said Ma Peng, "the Tiandihui in the sky and on the earth."

Fu Buer hurried to Dongmen City and saw a new two-story building near the periphery of Dongmen Street. In front of the house stood a nondescript wooden archway with the words "Tiandihui" written on it. A pair of couplets hangs: "Earthquake Gaogang, a stream of beautiful streams through the ages; the gate faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years."

Fu Buer plucked up his courage and walked in. The person in charge of the reception inside listened to his needs and took out a piece of paper to ask him to register.Although Fu Buer could read a few words, he was semi-literate, so he had to ask someone inside to write it for him. What he registered was name, address, and family size. Then he asked him how many acres of land he had.How many paddy and dry fields are there?

Just as Fu Buer was about to say something, he swallowed it again. After thinking for a while, he said that his family only had 400 mu of paddy fields—in fact, his family had more than 100 mu of land, [-] mu of paddy fields, and more than [-] mu of dry fields.He said this because he suddenly thought of: Who knows what the Kun people have in mind for this so-called "Tiandihui"?The wisdom accumulated by peasants being deceived by government dignitaries for thousands of years made Fu Buer lay an ambush immediately.

After registration, the clerk gave him a bamboo sign with a serial number engraved on it.Tell him that on the first day of the next month, he will come to the Tiandihui office with his sign to hold a meeting, and the meeting will be presided over by Ye Yuming, the president of the Tiandihui.

Fu Buer was confused: "Aren't you here to buy seeds?"

The clerk smiled: "It's so simple, we need to hold a meeting first, and President Ye will explain the specific things to you at the meeting."

Fu Buer suddenly became nervous: "Well, let me ask you a little bit: does Tian Di Hui need to pay..."

"Pay?" The clerk looked at his registration information. "You only have [-] mu of paddy fields, and you are a middle peasant. You probably don't need it. Only big households with a lot of land have to pay. What kind of technical service fee do you have to pay?" The clerk looked at the few pieces of paper in his hand, "It's collected by the mu."

fortunately!Fu Buer secretly rejoiced that there are no good things without a reason in this world.You have to pay!Fortunately, I only reported [-] mu of land, otherwise, wouldn't I have to pay an extra grain tax for no reason?The officials in this world are not all black!But it seems that the Kun people still take good care of the small households.I can probably drop a seed in vain.

Fu Buer secretly proudly left the door of Tiandihui.I figured that after I got the [-] mu of seeds, I would not give any of them to the tenants, and I would plant them myself with the long-term workers, and then pick the best ones to save the seeds, so that the paddy fields will be fully planted next year.

"The president of the Tiandihui is no longer Chen Bachi." Ye Yuming was secretly proud, calling Ye Bachi didn't seem very nice...

He was standing in a conference room on the second floor of the Tiandihui. The freshly painted lime water on the walls was still a little damp, and the black paint on the wooden boards on the top wall that was used as a blackboard had not dried completely.This place is going to be used as a place for future promotion meetings with customers of Tiandihui. As for the training, it will be put on the farm to do it—learn in practice.

Personnel from the Agriculture Committee, Ethnic Affairs Committee and other relevant departments have already gathered in the meeting room, preparing to hold the first "Agricultural Work Conference" to discuss the specific implementation methods of the Tiandihui.

Everyone agrees to use Tiandihui, an external organization, to promote agricultural technology. Now many farmers and landlords in this county have shown their demand for new agriculture.

Originally, Ye Yuming's Tiandihui plan was to issue small loans for poultry and engage in order-based breeding.At the same time, simple and agricultural technology training will be provided to local farmers.After several days of discussion, the content of this program has been greatly expanded.

The new version of Tiandihui will be divided into two departments: the Tiandi Department is in charge of technology, and the Earth Department is in charge of promotion.

The promoted improved seeds and agricultural technologies are divided into two customer groups according to the target audience:

The first is the landlord. The standard is to own more than [-] mu of directly managed land and plant it by yourself or hire long-term and short-term workers.Generally also called "operating landlord".

The promotion of agricultural planting technology is mainly targeted at them.The model is that Tiandi will provide seeds and train field managers. In the first year, the Ministry of Agriculture will send personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture to help the landowners who buy seeds with field management and train their own personnel.Of course, the technology for grain households has to pay patent fees, and it is packaged and bundled with seeds for sale.The fee is to cultivate the concept of intellectual property rights in advance.

Thereafter, these customers must pay annual dues.The corresponding Tiandi Association will continue to provide improved seeds, and at the same time provide basic services: such as farmland pest control, technical guidance, and supply of pesticides and fertilizers.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Yuming asked suddenly, "Chemical fertilizers are easy to talk about, such as lignite, and the synthetic ammonia industry. Where can we find pesticides? This must be done with the organic chemical industry!"

"Soil pesticides." Wu Nanhai has accumulated a lot of experience in the use of soil pesticides in early planting, and he is quite confident. "This time the early production of rice can achieve good results, thanks to soil-based pesticides. It is certain that the effect is not as good as modern pesticides."

"Bordeaux mixture? Copper sulfate + lime water? How effective is it? I remember that it was used to spray fruit trees, can it be used on rice?" Ye Yuming recalled his high school biology class.

"Bordeaux mixture is a protective agent. The effect of spraying before the disease appears is good, and the lasting effect is two weeks. It is very effective against downy mildew, but not so good against rust. In the early days, inorganic pesticides also had lime sulfur mixture. This effect Very good, it is bactericidal, especially effective against rust fungus and powdery mildew, the effect lasts, and it can also prevent some insects.” Wu Nanhai is already very proficient in these materials dug out from the pile of old papers, “There is a yellow rice insect pest. Koutu 666 can be used to prevent and control, basically it is Chinese medicinal materials plus simple inorganic compounds, which can deal with rice aphids—there should be many such formulas.”

With great interest: "I plan to propose to the Executive Committee: the Agricultural Committee will build a pesticide factory, and then a soil fertilizer factory. These two things alone are also big agricultural killers in Daming. In addition to their own use, they can also be sold on the market. Don't rush to ask for it!"

Wan Lihui said: "Takeaways are not profitable. The volume and weight are too large, and the profit per unit weight is too small."

"It's okay." Wu Nanhai explained, "In the first year, we will use Tiandihui to carry out chemical fertilizers and pesticides to the countryside. In addition to supplying customers who have joined Tiandihui, we can also provide free fertilizers for villages in green and blue zones. It can be sold throughout the county within a year. The transportation is done by farmers themselves. Volume and weight are not a problem, and the cost of these things is very low. The cost of soil pesticides is basically labor costs, and the raw materials are all worthless things.”

"However, Commissioner Wu, I don't understand why it is mentioned in the articles of association that only 'operating landlords' should be dealt with. Aren't all landlords landlords?" Wan Lihui was puzzled.
