mountain farmer

Chapter 861 The situation is serious

(Thanks to my friends Wumingqian, Coke, Riji, and Jinzhi’s wife’s monthly ticket for encouragement)

Although it is said that the matter of raising the land is left to Zhang Zhu.But as a big boss like Lao Liu, in fact, he still has to go around the field.

Otherwise, the boss is too incompetent, and it is not a large-scale enterprise, so it will not take much time to go to the surrounding land to have a look.

And now the land acquisition work has come to an end, so much land belongs to him alone, it can be regarded as his own new territory.Even if it doesn't look like animals pissing around and painting their territory, you should really take a look around and take a look.

Originally, he also wanted to fool Xiao Lele into following him on patrol, but the little guy couldn't be fooled by him.People's vacation balance is a little insufficient, so they draw a line on the calendar card every day, so as not to waste time on it.

Old Liu is also a little helpless, the current girl is getting smarter and smarter, and it is getting harder and harder to fool around.If you put it in the past, if you looked over, you would go for a walk with yourself.

No way, the child will grow up slowly after all.

Driving with Zhang Zhu, he didn't go directly to the field to see, but went to the survey team to give condolences and brought some fruits.

This is an externally hired team, and the job is done very quickly.Of course, doing a good job also means that they are working hard.The fields outside are not as good as the climate here in Lijiagou. Without the obstruction of the mountains, the small wind "swish" is quite painful.

In fact, Liu Fugui has always done a good job on this point.

It doesn't mean that if you spend money and hire them, you are an uncle, and you can enjoy their services aloft.There is still a quality problem with this job, isn't it?
Even the engineering team who built his house and repaired the mountain road before, he took care of him as much as possible.It doesn't cost much to have a round of banquets every now and then, and the big guys feel very comforted in their hearts.

It's not a deliberate flattery, it's just a heart-to-heart comparison.If the big guys are more careful and nervous when working, they will be able to do the work quickly and well.

In fact, Wang Ziyan, the measurement team here, also takes good care of them, and now Lao Liu personally brings fruit to condolences, which also reflects the importance he attaches to these small partners.

Measuring this work looks really simple, but it is also very hard.After watching here for a while, Lao Liu felt that surveying in the field was much more difficult than when surveying roads.

"It seems that it's not easy to do anything. It's really hard to find one point after another, and you have to run with the instrument on your shoulders." Liu Fugui said.

"It's almost the same. It can be considered physical work, and it's no easier than our farming." Zhang Zhu said with a smile.

"Take a look at the sandy land? That's the worst place. There are nine lands that are the worst. It's not the personal small land, but the large land that we have rented out."

Liu Fugui nodded, "Actually, these are the things that bother me the most. Back then, I shouldn't have agreed to Lao Wang. This was just doing things for myself."

Zhang Zhu smiled and said nothing, this is the decision of the leaders.Anyway, you've all made up your mind, and it's useless to regret now.Fortunately, such a plot of land, the rent is also very cheap.If it takes a few years or more than ten years to support the land, the land can also help make money.

After driving for more than half an hour, I came to the first nearest place.Although it hasn't really come to spring, the wind here is stronger than other places.

"My God, the situation here is so bad, the road has been blocked for a little bit, and a new road has been created." Looking at the road surface encroached by sand and soil, Lao Liu felt a little emotional.

I used to pass by here occasionally, and I know a little about the situation here, but I haven't come here in the past year, and half of this road is almost occupied.

"There is nearly two hundred acres of land here, and it's all sandy soil like this." Zhang Zhu said.

"There used to be [-] households in the north, but now there are only five left. I really can't live in them, so I bought houses in the county, and I come back to look at them when they are farming."

Looking at Zhang Zhu's hand, Liu Fugui was also very emotional.

Almost all the houses in sight are covered with plastic, which can be regarded as the most basic sand-proof arrangement.But with such a plastic cover, the lighting in the room will definitely be much worse, and it will definitely be uncomfortable for people to live in.

But this sand is really overbearing.It was left on the road, and it was blown away by the wind, and almost all of them were piled up in the yards of these people.

I used to watch it once I walked by, but this time it is a close look.In comparison, the side of Lijiagou can be regarded as green mountains and green waters.Although the land is thinner, the environment is a hundred times stronger than here.

"Isn't it easy to deal with it here?" Liu Fugui asked.

Zhang Zhu nodded, "We need to find a professional to see where it is better to set up sand and windbreaks. And the effect will not be so fast, it is a long-term project."

"However, the rest of the land is slightly better than here. The land here can't be planted even if you want to, because the desertification is too serious."

Liu Fugui nodded with a wry smile, "If we can really fix all these lands, it would be considered a merit. We can only comfort ourselves like this, or we will have a headache just thinking about it."

"Come on, let's continue to look at those lands that need to be maintained. I will contact the provincial forestry department here. We will pay for this work. They will provide people and technology. It should be no problem."

"Go directly to the province, why don't you go to the county?" Zhang Zhu asked curiously.

"Hey..., I knew something about this before. The sandstorm is not only happening here, it seems to have to happen in other counties as well." Liu Fugui said helplessly.

"Otherwise, why didn't I want to do this before? It's not a question of more money and less money, but too many communication links. This is a thankless task, and it still needs to last for a long time. "

Zhang Zhu nodded. Although he didn't know much about it, he knew.When it comes to spring and winter, there will really be sandy days.

The sky was yellow that day, and the sand was definitely not from the local area. It was almost brought over by the strong wind outside.

However, there was still a little bit of excitement in his heart, because he was originally an ordinary farmer, but now he was able to participate in such a "big" matter.

Anyway, when Zhang Zhu thought about it, it was a little unbelievable.It is also a feeling of the encounter in life, which is really amazing.

Lao Liu was not very familiar with the road here, so Zhang Zhu was given the job of guiding the way.

After seeing a few other pieces of land that can be cultivated but still need maintenance, Lao Liu felt a little depressed in his heart.

Thanks to my own decision, I have to take care of it for a while, otherwise if this land is hard-planted, it's really not sure what's going on.

The soil is very compacted, and the land here is also somewhat desertified.Even if all the greenhouses are built here, the soil is not easy to get.

"It is indeed a bit of a headache, and the rest of the place is similar to what we saw just now?"

When walking home, Old Liu asked.

"Basically, the main reason is that it has been too dry these past few years. Although digging wells and pumping water to irrigate the fields is helpful to some extent, it is really not good for the soil." Zhang Zhu said.

"It's okay to water it once in a while, but in the drought year, you have to water it every three to five days, otherwise the seedlings won't grow. But if you water the ground, the fertilizer and the soil in the ground will be lost. Get washed away."

"If you don't insist on watering, as long as it doesn't rain, your previous efforts will be in vain. Otherwise, why do you say that farming is not profitable now, and you can't even earn hard money."

"I chatted with them a few days ago, and some lands were watered in the middle of the night, otherwise they wouldn't be ranked. You can't dig wells everywhere, and you have to take turns watering a few fields around the well."

"In the past, we just put water tanks and ran along the furrows. Now we don't dare to do that anymore. We buy thin plastic pipes with eyes to simulate rain, otherwise the land would be even more impossible to see."

"Well, it's like a vicious circle. The more you water the land, the worse it will be. But if you don't water the land, the crops won't grow in the field. After all these years, there hasn't been a good year with good weather. How many years have there been a drought."

"I used to think that the land in our Lijiagou was very thin and poor. In fact, compared with this side, it is also very strong. A light rain over our side can take care of things, but they can't do it here."

"The base fertilizer needs to be added every year, and top-dressing is necessary. Otherwise, after watering, there will be no energy, and even if it is watered, it will not have much effect."

"This reality seems to be much skinnier than ideal." Liu Fugui said with a wry smile.

"When we think about it, it seems to be easy to do. If we invest money, this thing can be done. But now that we think about it, it's really not that kind of thing."

"We also have to see whether the gods will save face, or else the money may be spent. Let's take a look at the land for a year. If it can be raised, we will plant it. If it can't be raised, we will raise it for another year."

"It's nothing more than that we have to work harder. Anyway, I don't have anything else to spend money on. Let's invest all the funds from this turnover in these lands."

In fact, Liu Fugui felt a little helpless in his heart.The actual cost of this package of renting land is much more than originally estimated.

Not to mention that so much land cannot bring you profits, and you have to continue to invest in it. This is an invisible expenditure.

One year, for a normal plot, this is enough to raise it well.But for a plot like this, it's enough.It still depends on God, it will help you take care of it with gentle wind and light rain, which is many times better than artificial maintenance.

But raising it is better than not raising it, and this matter must be done.Even if you invest now, you will always be able to earn it back in the future.

It's just that the past two years may have to be a little harder.
