Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 502 Grain Seeds, Spring Plowing

As ordinary Chinese people who spend their whole lives on the ground, their love for the land is imprinted in their bones, which has never changed since ancient times.

Since the land reform was carried out in the Tainan base area, the common people in every household have their own land in their hands, and they have more hope for a better life.

Before the day of the Chinese New Year, the common people have been thinking about sowing seeds in their fields as soon as possible.

With the arrival of a spring rain, the entire Tainan base area is full of vitality.

On the same day, Zhao Gang issued the "Spring Plowing Mobilization Order" on behalf of the Tainan Military Region. All commanders and fighters in the Tainan Military Region stopped their daily training and fully cooperated with the government of the special area to help the people in the base area to carry out spring plowing.

According to the plan, around the mountainous area of ​​Yanwang Mountain, two varieties of drought-resistant wheat No. [-] and corn No. [-] bred by Mr. Zheng were planted in the fields under the troops' own responsibility.

The source of these two varieties is the seeds brought by Mr. Zheng from the Yanda Agricultural Research Institute. After arriving at Yanwang Mountain, he selected the best from the best and cultivated them with painstaking efforts.

Experimental data show that, compared with ordinary grains in the hands of ordinary people, the yield per mu of No. [-] wheat and No. [-] corn has increased by about [-]% to [-]%.

Since grain is the foundation of people's livelihood in the base areas, and there are few types of grain, only one experimental field was selected in each of the four base areas in Tainan, Taibei, Taiyue, and Southern Hebei.

If the experimental results are good this year, it is expected to be widely promoted in various base areas after the autumn harvest.

The entire Tainan base area is planted with grains stored by the common people on a large scale. The main crops include wheat and corn, supplemented by sweet potatoes, sorghum, and rice.

Some land with suitable conditions is planted by ordinary people on behalf of cash crops, such as peanuts, soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, and various medicinal materials. When the harvest season comes, the local government buys them from ordinary people at cost prices.

There is a village at the foot of Yanwang Mountain.

Because it is close to the mountainous area, the fields in the local villages are reclaimed by the villagers themselves. The larger land is two or three acres, and the smaller land is divided into four or five acres.

It's okay to be close to the river and low-lying, relying on the canal to bring water over, and to meet the high-lying land, you need to use manpower to carry water to irrigate the fields.

On the ground, the whole village, old and young, are scattered in their own fields.

The head of the old king is the head of the village. He is squatting on his own field at this time, smoking dry tobacco, watching the palm-sized winter wheat become more and more watery under the irrigation of the clear river, with a smile on his wrinkled face. .

"Village chief, comrades from the Eighth Route Army are here to help!" A half-year-old boy from the village ran over and said.

"Comrades from the Eighth Route Army are here? Where are you?" Old Wang stood up abruptly after hearing this, and hastily tapped the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, then pinned it on his lower back.

"It's on the slope over there!"

When the old Wangtou arrived, he saw only twenty or so people in the uniform of the Eighth Route Army walking in the fields with buckets.

The old Wang took a closer look and found that the leader was Commissar Zhao of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, Commissar Zhao, why are you here?"

Zhao Gang, who was busy, saw an old man running towards him and put down the pole on his shoulders: "Cun Zhang, we understand the situation in your village. At least half of the land is sloped, and it is difficult to irrigate the fields. Our troops need to help at this time." what!"

"Oh, oh, how can this be done!"

Last year, the army did not catch up with the spring plowing. This year is the first time that the army and the people have joined forces to carry out spring plowing.

Seeing that Zhao Gang had to stay, old man Wang said to the middle-aged man who was following behind him: "San Yazi, let your mother call some women back to the village, prepare some dry food, and deliver it to the field at noon!"

"Make something better, do you hear me!"

"Got it!" Sanyazi turned around and ran away.

"Commissioner Zhao, take a break!"

"Is there something wrong with Village Chief Wang?" Zhao Gang said as he sprinkled water between the two ditches, as if he could see what Old Wang wanted to say.

"I heard from people in the village that the seeds planted in our army's own fields are good ones? When will they be popularized in the base areas?" Common people care about the harvests in the fields all year round, and Lao Wangtou is no exception.

"Village Chief Wang, this is an improved variety that has been researched. We are still looking at the effect of the grain seeds. Besides, the village grows all winter wheat, and the grain variety that has been researched is spring wheat. Can it work?" Zhao Gang said.

"It can be done, as long as the production can be increased, it is nothing more than putting in more effort and watering more!"

"That's okay, spring will start tomorrow, everyone can use improved grain seeds!"

The words are divided into two parts.

Zhou Weihan has already arrived in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and spring plowing is also going on in the base area in Zhinan.

It's just that the spring plowing organized by the prefectural government is limited to the three counties of Neihuang, Nanle, and Qingfeng. The main force is still stationed in the defense zone, and the recruits are sent to help the common people with spring plowing.

within the headquarters.

"By the way, Old Tan, how is Fushimi Palace?" Zhou Weihan asked.

After hearing this, Tan Lin had a smile on his face: "This guy has a very hard mouth, but unfortunately his bones are a bit soft. He just arrived in our hands, and he didn't eat anything. After being hungry for a few days, he ate three Wowotou!"

Tan Lin didn't give special treatment to Fushimi Gong Mi Mingyi, a prisoner. He, the ghost prince, had to eat whatever the soldiers usually ate.

After a while, Fushimi Gong Mingyi was ruled submissively.

"Old Zhou, I think it's almost time for the fire. During this period of time, the little devil seems to have happened. He kept sending people into the base area in disguise and tried to rescue Fushimi Palace with arms. However, because Fushimi Palace is in our hands right now, we dare not do anything. Just attack the base!"

"Leave it hanging in your hands, it will be a matter of time before you see it poorly, so let's accept it and sell Fushimi Palace for a good price!" Tan Lin persuaded.

Seeing Zhou Weihan nodding, Tan Lin went on to say: "After a winter, the combat effectiveness of the recruits has improved rapidly, and it's time to start the next step!"

"After these few days of work are over, we need to plan the development plan of the future base in these two days. Now we have four main groups with nearly [-] people. Our capital is very hard!" Zhou Weihan smiled. Said.

"I saw that the new regiment that followed you is not weak. The whole regiment is like a pile of dry firewood. It burns at one point. Often such troops have the strongest combat effectiveness!"

"The good troops brought out by comrades Li Yunlong and Luo Benzhong!" Tan Lin said.

"You're right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bring Xinyituan here! Just watch, Xinyituan will be a sharp knife for rebuilding the Hebei-Luyu base!"

The current Li Yunlong has this ability, and Zhou Weihan is willing to be this Bole and give him a chance to show his talents.

Since then, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.
