Chapter 150 Mobilization
Yang He looked at Zhao Shucheng puzzled, and said, "There are many ways to eat it. For example, it can be made into Dilong wine. The method is to use Dilong Wutiao, 20 grams of black taro and other raw materials, stir the medicine to get the juice, mix it with wine and fry it. Boil and take warm."

"It can also be made into buffalo horn earthworm soup to help digestion and absorption and improve human immunity. You can add earthworm powder when stewing chicken to make it more delicious."

Zhao Shucheng told Yang He that he didn't want to eat chicken anymore, but he still suppressed his disgust and said, "Then there are no defects?"

Yang He adjusted his glasses and said, "Of course there are also flaws. Earthworms, that is, earthworms, grow underground, so they are the intermediate hosts and broadcasters of many parasites. Capillary ringworm, Heterocarpus nematodes, etc. are transmitted to chickens, causing the chickens to decline and their productivity to decline."

Hearing this, Ma Defu felt a little regretful and said, "So you can't use earthworms to raise chickens?"

Yang He waved his hand and said: "Of course not, you can still raise chickens in this way, but many chicken farmers don't know how to properly use earthworms to raise chickens. They just picked up live earthworms to feed them after the rain in spring and summer. Chickens, it is said that earthworms are nutritious, and chickens can lay eggs after eating long meat. But this method is not scientific at all.”

"The correct method should be to rinse the collected earthworms with clean water and then heat them in boiling water for five to 10 minutes, which can effectively kill the parasites inside and outside the earthworms,"

"Cut the washed and boiled earthworms into small pieces and add them to the feed to feed the chickens. This will not only save feed, but also help the chickens gain weight quickly and speed up their growth."

Zhao Shucheng was a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought that there was no need to feed the chickens, but he didn't expect to need feed after a long time.But it's not like I didn't receive the goods, at least I know that it is possible to raise chickens with earthworms.

"Ah, it needs to be mixed into the feed!"

Yang He glanced at Zhao Shucheng, and said dismissively: "What's the matter? You still want to raise chickens only with earthworms? Let's not talk about whether this is possible. The feed that a chicken needs every day is its own weight. One-fifth of that, let’s not talk about chickens. Just a big chicken weighing three catties needs half a catty of grain. Do you think earthworms alone can meet the demand? One mu of land is not enough to produce a thousand How many catties, how many chickens can this support?"

Upon seeing this, Ma Defu quickly interjected and asked, "Researcher Yang, do you think the Gobi Desert like Yuquanying is suitable for earthworm breeding projects?"

Yang He thought for a while when he heard what Ma Defu said, and said: "I can't guarantee this matter now, because I have never been there before, and I don't know the specific climate conditions. But if it is similar to the one here in Yinchuan, it stands to reason that it can be farmed here. , then it can also be bred in Yuquanying.”

Ma Defu became happy when he heard this, as long as he can breed.He heard what Yang He said just now, and he understood that the earthworms can really help raise chickens, and even make the chickens grow faster and increase their weight.

Before Ma Defu could be happy, Yang He poured another basin of cold water down.

"Although they can be raised, but you also said that your place is the Gobi Desert. There will definitely be a lack of water. Earthworms like dark and humid places. There is no way to raise earthworms without water."

Ma Defu doesn't think there is any problem with the lack of water. Compared with the fact that there are already motorized wells in the village, the water problem has been solved.Besides, how much water can be used to raise earthworms?It's not going to be a swimming pool.

"There is a lack of water in Ermen's area, but Ermen Jintan Village already has its own motorized well, so there should be no problem with the water for raising earthworms."

"Generally speaking, to breed earthworms on half an acre of land requires [-] kilograms of water, that is, two large buckets of water, plus some breeding materials such as pig manure, cow dung, rice straw, etc..."

Yang He began to tell Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu about raising earthworms, focusing on how to raise them.

"If you are breeding at home, the area for breeding is definitely not right, at most it is one or two fractions of land. Generally speaking, you don't need much water, and a bucket of water is almost enough."

After calculation, Zhao Shucheng felt that the water was not very much, even if he used a bucket of water every day, the well would be enough to meet his needs.

Yang He thought for a while after hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, and said: "Indeed, the yard at home is usually very small, and a bucket of water is almost enough for small-scale breeding. Moreover, the technical difficulty is not high, and the investment is not too large. It is indeed possible. Breeding."

Ma Defu and Zhao Shucheng are very happy, as long as they can breed.Although one chicken can't be bought for much money, most of the people's land in Jintan Village is planted with grain this year, which must be enough for food and chicken raising.

Zhao Shucheng knew that raising earthworms could work, so the focus now is how to get Yang He to go to Yuquanying to teach the villagers how to raise them.If he can't go, it's all for nothing.

"Researcher Yang, you said that if we raise earthworms, can you serve as our technical consultant and guide us to raise them?"

Yang He was a little embarrassed when he heard it. He is now a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences. It would be impossible to help Zhao Shucheng, and he still needs research.

Seeing Yang He's troubled look, Zhao Shucheng immediately understood that there was trouble, but he could be lured.

"Research Institute, I saw that your yard is very small. Have you ever thought about switching to a larger one for the experiment? I heard that in our agricultural research, the experimental site is very important. The bigger the site, the more likely it will be successful. Big?"

Yang He shook his head, and said: "It's not that the size of the place is useful, but my place is indeed a bit small. Now I rent this yard myself, and I have made a lot of reports with the yard, but I haven't been able to give me approval. land."

"The key point is that the outdoor land does not meet the requirements. We must have a certain place to limit the cultivation of earthworms. If we are outside, it is easy to escape. Besides, earthworms also have many natural enemies, such as mice and ants. There are too many animals in the wild. It is very disruptive to the experiment."

"What's more, the earthworms I want to study are not only the current ones. Different types of earthworms have different functions, but because of the limited space, I can only experiment with the most basic one. The bottleneck of the current research is that the place is too large. It is too small to study the improvement effect of vermicompost on the soil, nor to see the effect of earthworm raising chickens, all of which require a large site and a lot of money.”

"It's a pity that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences now has a lot of research subjects, and the funds allocated to each project are limited, not to mention that the earthworm project will not see economic benefits in the short term, so it is even less valued."

Hearing this, Zhao Shucheng understood how to mobilize Yang He to go to Yuquan Camp, and couldn't help saying: "Then Researcher Yang, if the problem of venue and funding is solved, will there be more research results?"

Yang He nodded, and said, "Of course, it's not enough just to have funds, we need some research equipment. We can only rely on magnifying glasses for research now, and some microscopes are simply not up to us to try."

In the 90s, the national economy was still very backward, especially in the central and western regions, most of which were not developed. Ningxia was in an economically backward area because of its geographical location.The country's economy is backward, and correspondingly there is not much research funding allocated to research institutes in various places.Ningxia itself is poor, and the allocation for the Institute of Agricultural Sciences is even less.The Institute of Agricultural Sciences wants to use the least amount of funds to solve the biggest problem. The most important thing now is to increase the yield of crops and economic crops. Of course, they don’t pay much attention to research that has little effect on earthworms.

Zhao Shucheng looked at Yang He and said, "Researcher Yang, it's actually not a problem to find a place for you to do research. Even experiments such as improving soil with earthworms and raising chickens with earthworms can be done."

Yang He was very excited when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words, he directly grabbed Zhao Shucheng's hand and asked, "What can you do, can you help me get the land?"

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Ma Defu, and said: "Our place in Yuquanying is now calling on the people in the impoverished mountainous area of ​​Xihaigu to immigrate to Diaozhuang, and has allocated more than [-] mu of land. Not many people are willing to go now. When it is rare, there is still a lot of free land, as long as you are willing to do research, the Ermen Diaozhuang Office should be willing to set aside a piece of land for you to do research."

"Originally this time we wanted to learn about earthworm farming and chicken raising with earthworms. You can receive a lot of materials when you get there, which should be of great help to your research."

"As long as you are willing to go, Ma Defu from the Diaozhuang Office will definitely report to the above, and then the land problem will be resolved. Besides, if you really want to go, it will take time to prepare. We can use this time to build a house for you. Cultivate an experimental field."

Ma Defu also understood what Zhao Shucheng meant now, and said directly, "Researcher Yang, don't worry, if you really want to go, we will definitely do the logistics work well."

Yang He was skeptical when he heard this, but he was still a little worried. After all, doing research is not only about having land, but also lacking research funds.

"Let's talk about it. Even if you give me the land, I can't do it now. This land is all bought out of my own pocket, and I don't have that much money."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Researcher Yang, you don't have to worry about research funding at all. Your research funding is covered by us, so it shouldn't cost much, right?"

"Of course it doesn't take much. In the initial stage, only one mu of land is enough. The multi-species breeding, soil quality improvement, economic animal breeding, etc. related to the preparation of the experiment have been planned, and the research funds are not much, at most 2000 yuan a year. That's enough. After all, earthworm farming requires less funds, and the rest is money for purchasing breeding materials."

One of Yang He's students directly stated the number of research funding, and looked at Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu nervously after speaking, worried that he asked for too much.

Ma Defu was a little embarrassed when he heard the price. Every penny in the Diaozhuang Office was planned for use, and there was no way to squeeze out so much money.Can't help but look at Zhao Shucheng and Yang He with some embarrassment, meaning that they can't afford so much money.

On the contrary, Zhao Shucheng felt that the research funds were very little. In the last world, tens of billions of funds were invested in the research funds on the lithography machine alone, and 2000 yuan was not enough for the price of a screw.
