Riding the wind of rebirth

"Azi, do you know the reason for this phenomenon?"

Ah Zi tilted her head and recalled: "I read in the agricultural technology book in Xinhua Bookstore that potatoes secrete some secretions in the ground. These secretions are alkaline and will cause the soil to become compacted. They will also destroy the pH of the soil, kill acid-loving bacteria, cause an imbalance in the bacterial flora, and increase pests and diseases."

"Yes, changes in soil flora will make it difficult to suppress the growth of some fungi, and many of these fungi are pathogens that can cause a significant reduction in potato yields. Another point is the fertility issue that Renzhong just mentioned. The growth of potatoes in the field will absorb a large amount of potassium fertilizer in the soil, causing the soil to be deficient in potassium. If it is not replenished in time, the tubers will be malnourished in the second year and become very small."

"To solve this problem, we must rotate crops, rotate beans, vegetables, or buckwheat, and pasture, and solve part of the problem of forage."

"Damn, how on earth do you know how to grow potatoes?"

At this moment Zhou Zhi thought of Wei Fei, the boy who came from the countryside and didn't know how to do farm work. He sighed and said, "Some people have good luck, and some people have a hard life. This can't be explained in detail."

"What do you mean?"

"Some people are born in the countryside but still know nothing. Some people are city dwellers but still have to do farm work." Zhou Zhi waved his hand to skip this discussion: "Although our Lianhe Township is poor, what makes it better than other places is that people are not lazy. So as long as we find the right solutions, solve the problems one by one, and work with our fellow villagers, we can get rid of the label of poverty sooner or later!"

"I believe in Brother Elbow, we can do it!" Jike Azi said firmly.

"I still say that, you should deal with the water first." Wu Renzhong said.

"Speaking of the water problem, I have an idea." Zhou Zhi said, "Once the call is connected, it will be up to you."

"Ah I?"

"My hometown, Baimi Township, across the Yangtze River, is the counterpart support township of my father's unit. It was through the Industrial and Commercial Bureau that they found a design bureau and an engineering team to build a weir on a stream and a pump well station, solving the major water problem in the township during droughts."

"So you also want to build a weir in the stream below Lianhe Township?"

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Zhi said, "The stream below Lianhe Township has too much water in the summer and too little water in the winter. I'm afraid that a normal dam can't withstand the impact of the water flow. Building a dam that's too big will cost too much, and we can't afford it."

"Also, the ecology here is too fragile. If we build a dam, it might kill several endangered animals or even cause geological disasters. We won't consider this until we are sure."

"What I mean is, can we find the counterpart support unit in Lianhe Township, cry poor, and ask for support, and have them pay to dig a few wells on the slope, so that we can solve our water problem?" Zhou Zhi said to Wu Renzhong, "I mean, you should ask for the money."

"I see... I'm going to ask for money."

"Don't we have a ready-made relationship in the autonomous region's education system?" Zhou Zhi continued to tempt Wu Renzhong: "After the problems with textbooks and the library reading room are solved, we will cooperate with them in publicity, and then continue to talk about the actual difficulties of our village and ask for more help. After all, the first time is new, the second time is familiar, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." "Ah, Elbow, you...you..." Shamaricong was shocked by Zhou Zhi's "reasonable begging" behavior.

"Shama, how do you think I became the top scorer in liberal arts?" Zhou Zhi laughed slyly, "When I was in high school, I found that our school's teaching resources were really not good. It happened that Chi Xueli had just returned from an interview in our county. I went to Shudu TV Station with a classmate to find her and asked her to help us solve the problem of teaching materials. Guess what happened?"

"What? We trained you to be the top scholar?" Shama certainly didn't believe it.

"Sister Chi mobilized the power of the station and found us teaching materials from Shudu No. 4 Middle School and No. 7 Middle School. The two middle schools also agreed to provide holiday training for our teachers. They also selected dozens of students from our school to study in the two middle schools for a period of time to understand their learning styles."

"After all this, the resources in our county middle school improved immediately. My college entrance examination score that year even exceeded that of Manzhou City No. 1 Middle School."

"It can be said that if I didn't have these resources, I would have a very difficult time as the top scorer in liberal arts." Zhou Zhi said: "Before I set out, I also thought that things might be very difficult, but when I arrived in Shudu, I found that it was not the case. For many things, you have to learn to ask for help from others. If you ask the right person, things that you think are extremely difficult may be just a piece of cake for them."

"Then how do I know who is the right person to ask for help?" Wu Renzhong felt that this information was very important, at least it was very important for him to continue to "mix in the system" in the future, so he continued to ask questions without hesitation.

"Fool." Shama Ricong had long understood the underlying meaning of Zhou Zhi's words and tapped him on the forehead: "Isn't he your brother-in-law? Even if he isn't, he can definitely introduce you to the right person. As long as the matter is still within the scope of the autonomous prefecture, who else can you ask for help than him?"

"That's right!" Wu Renzhong couldn't help but laugh: "Look at my brain! I'm afraid my brother-in-law will regret connecting a telephone line to our village! Hahahaha..."

In fact, what Zhou Zhi is most pleased about is that everyone has begun to think about the issue of poverty alleviation in Lianhe Township under his guidance. This kind of ideological initiative of the leader is the most important thing.

In their previous life, Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong did not have the awareness they have now from the beginning. At first, they both had their own concerns, and Tu Liangzhi let them do as they pleased. It was not until Tu Liangzhi made himself sick that the two were deeply touched and finally began to "turn over a new leaf" and use their own abilities.

Zhou Zhi was much more self-aware in this life, and he also led Wu Renzhong along with him. At least until now, everyone had made up their mind to "do something big".

They talked and laughed all the way, and discussed their visions for the future of Lianhe Township. The Guard car returned to Lianhe Township at sunset.

"Sister A Zi, Sister A Zi..." As soon as the car arrived at the intersection, the kids spotted Jike A Zi's figure sitting on the passenger seat. A group of kids began to chase the car, surrounding the guards and running towards the grain station.

"Azi, you are quite amazing!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "You are so popular, the king of children!"

"How about I get off first, so you can get there faster." Jike Azi was also worried about the safety of the children who gathered around her.

"We're already here, so let's drive slowly. There's no rush." ​​Zhou Zhi smiled slyly, "Wait for the fellow villagers to gather together so we can unload the goods later!" (End of this chapter)
