After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 16 The research is clear and can not be eaten as a meal

Suddenly Qin Yu's eyes lit up: Since the biggest problem Lujia Village is currently facing is the problem of not having enough to eat, why not let them temporarily plant potatoes to solve the urgent need?
Potatoes are not delicious, but they have high yields, and a small piece of land can fill a family’s stomach.

Only when everyone is not hungry, will the follow-up problem of getting rich be considered.

If you want to get rich, build a road first, Qin Yu has already made a plan in his mind.After the villagers were safe, they and the village chief led the villagers to build a road to the outside, planted cash crops all over the mountain, and finally led the villagers on the road to prosperity.

A teacher went to a poor mountain village to teach, and it is obviously not all about teaching the children some book knowledge.Its greatest significance is to bring the concept of civilization and science to the village.

Qin Yu worked with the village chief when he was teaching in the last village.The two sent the soil in the village to the agricultural technology station for testing. They found that the soil structure in the village was very suitable for planting Chinese herbal medicines and alpine grapes. Under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers began to plant Gastrodia elata, and the whole village was also mobilized to repair it. A road into the mountains.

And he worked tirelessly to use the relationship, and contacted the outside medicinal material dealers, allowing them to enter the village to buy the products of the villagers.The local county also gave strong support and gave special funds.

After only one season, the appearance of that village has changed drastically. Not only can everyone have enough to eat, but the per capita income has soared from a few hundred yuan to 10 yuan per capita, completely removing the label of poverty and backwardness.

In the second half of the year, Qin Yu also assisted the village chief, enriching the entertainment life of the villagers and enriching them spiritually.

In the end, the villagers were also grateful to him. When he was about to leave the village, every family came to see him off, and every child’s eyes were swollen from crying.All kinds of mountain goods, eggs and bacon, piled up his entire trunk.

And Qin Yu himself was greatly satisfied because of this, and he felt that this was the true meaning of teaching in his mountain village.

even the meaning of his life.

Yu still roughly remembers that the soil in that village had weak fertility retention but high PH value, and the soil structure was loose and sandy.This soil is not only suitable for growing Chinese herbal medicines, but also for growing potatoes.

Both Lujia Village and the last village were in the northwest region, so Qin Yu estimated that the soil structure of the two places would not be too different.

"Mr. Qin, do you have any good suggestions for the current situation of Lujia Village?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, testing his taste a bit. "It hurts our hearts to see that the villagers are not getting enough to eat!"

This village chief Huang seems to be a little responsible. Seeing that the villagers are not getting enough to eat will make his heart hurt. Qin Yu glanced at him and said in his heart.

In fact, the geographical and soil conditions of Lujia Village make it difficult to change the poverty situation.Otherwise, it will not be 2000 years, and no local officials in the past dynasties can solve it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of this.

He is just waiting now, waiting for Qin Yu to have any way to defy the sky and do things that no one else has been able to do for thousands of years.

"It's not difficult to feed the villagers." Qin Yu frowned and said, "But it's a bit difficult to make them rich." After all, with such a high mountain, it's really hard to build a road to the outside world. It's a big project.

Turning his head to look at the mountain in front of him, the difficulty of building the road is probably no less than that of building the Red Flag Canal.

If you can't build roads, you can't get rich.

Isn't it hard to get enough to eat?The hard part is making them rich! ?Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded when he heard this.The problem of keeping the villagers full, which he thought was as difficult as the sky, seemed to Qin Yu as simple as turning over his palms.

His focus is to make the villagers rich in the long run! ! !
Shame, Shame!Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart.He didn't even dare to think about making the villagers of Lujia Village rich.Some things in the world are not afraid of being difficult to achieve, even if they dare not even have dreams.He Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a living example. He used to be a beggar. Who would dare to think that he could become an emperor in the future?It seems that there is a gap in realm between my thoughts and Mr. Qin, he thought to himself.

"Dare to ask Mr. Qin, how can we make the villagers have enough to eat?" Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his stance and asked Qin Yu for advice, "As for the question of making the village rich, let's keep it for later."

"This matter is extremely simple," Qin Yu said, "but I have to do a test at Lu Qingqian's house first. After all, I haven't seen the actual effect. Other villagers will not rashly switch to another crop. Villagers in remote mountain villages , is generally conservative in thinking.” I remember that in the last village, he and the village chief mobilized for a long time to let the villagers plant Chinese herbal medicines.

At the beginning, they were all reluctant to change their previous planting habits, after all, they were left by their ancestors.I am even more afraid that the planting will fail, and even the previous harvest will be gone.

"Lu Qingqian's family?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Is it the daughter of Lu Dazhuang's family? Before, it was his family who was taking care of you during the injury period, and it was that little girl who brought you meals and medicines every day."

"It's his house." Qin Yu said.

"Okay, let's go back and tell Da Zhuang to let him cooperate with you." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Mr. Qin, you mean that as long as the villagers plant other crops, they can fill their stomachs?"

"Yes." Qin Yu said, "but that thing is still in my travel bag and I don't have it with me now, otherwise I'll take it out and show it to you. About three or four months, which is the first season, I can let Lu Dazhuang The family is not hungry. If other villagers see that Lu Dazhuang’s family has a good harvest, they will follow suit, and we will be able to vigorously promote it.”

He felt that this matter was nothing extraordinary, extremely ordinary.Potatoes, one or two dollars a pound are everywhere, so I didn't give any details to 'Huang Village Chief'.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it in his heart. With his knowledge of agricultural production, he couldn't think of any other crops in this world. The growth cycle was only one season and the yield was so high.

But since Qin Yu wants to try it, let him try it.

"Let's go, let's go to the village first." Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject, "Mr. Qin, you said yesterday that the decentralization of power among the aristocratic families was the most fundamental reason for confusing the dynasty. We were a little unconvinced before, but when I went back yesterday and thought about it carefully, it was true. ." He couldn't help but think of his personal experience. As a county magistrate, it was difficult for Lu Wei to install him in Lujia Village as the village head.

"Mr. Qin, tell us why we Chinese people attach so much importance to the concept of clan and surname?"

"I said Uncle Huang, you're a little unprofessional." Qin Yu gave him a meaningful look, "Look at how poor your village is, you don't want to think about how to lead the villagers out of poverty and become rich, but you study these all day long and have nothing to do with you. What can we do if we study it clearly, but it can’t be eaten as a meal.”

"Hobbies, just hobbies." Zhu Yuanzhang said embarrassedly, and bowed his hands to Qin Yu, "I would like to ask you to give me some advice." Asking Qin Yu for this question is the main purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's visit to the village.
