Water Margin farming to become powerful

Not to mention that the Li people's cotton processing technology is simple, but it is definitely an advanced technology in this era.

But Dengzhou is very different from other places. When these twenty or so Li nationality technicians came to Supervisory University, Sun Xin was about to order them to follow in planting. The Agricultural College has already mastered these cotton planting techniques, including subsequent processing techniques.

Then the School of Engineering of the Supervisory Council University opened several projects, and everyone quickly made various improvements to the cotton planting and subsequent processing technologies of this era.

Li people were quite disapproving of the foolish behavior of the Supervisory Council University and Sun Xin's group at first.

For them, the crop of cotton is already extremely proficient, and they have never seen Han people grow better than them, but a few months later, when Sun Xin and the others showed results one by one according to the new method of planting techniques, Liu Cai and the Li people were soon stunned.

Sun Xin himself had never dealt with cotton in his previous life. Although Shandong is a cotton-producing area in the city, the main production area is the one closer to Jiangsu. Sun Xin has been in Jiaodong. The land around Yantai is too precious, so naturally In the north, it is more profitable to grow some food crops, so Sun Xin did not have any experience in cotton cultivation.

But after all, I have been doing agricultural technology for so many years, even if I have no experience in planting, I can get a general idea.

Although he is busy with work, he is really concerned about the promotion of cotton, at least he reads the reports often.

From the detailed records of those college students, Sun Xin quickly figured out the principle of Li people's cotton planting know-how.

These are all traceable. For example, since cotton needs flowers, the most important thing is potassium fertilizer.

Sun Xin found a lot of potash fertilizers in the cotton fertilization skills passed down by Gu Lao of the Li people, but many of these fertilizers cannot be found in the north, so Sun Xin's first improvement is to use the original Li people in the The fertilizer used in the south was changed to the local potash fertilizer produced in Shandong.

There is no shortage of such things in the supervisory committee now. There are a large number of salt ponds in Shandong. Since the sea salt in Dengzhou and Haizhou became famous, the sales of these salt ponds have become a problem. Fortunately, the main products of these salt ponds are not in the eyes of Sun Xin. It is not worthless salt but various important minerals, such as potassium. Now the salt ponds in Shandong are producing a large amount of potassium fertilizer for the supervisory committee.

And all this is a bit miraculous in the eyes of these Li technicians. They only brought the cotton that these Han people in Shandong planted for one season, and in the second year they found that these Han people began to use the cotton produced in the salt pond. The white things replaced the chicken manure and other manure that they were good at using. In addition, they used a more refined method for field management.

These things are not completely based on the professors of the Li nationality. Sun Xin and the others have also conducted a lot of analysis on the cotton crop. Many field processing methods can be imagined as long as they are based on the needs of cotton production.

For example, the leaves of cotton are fat and the ability to top the soil is poor, so the sowing depth can only be about one knuckle, and it will be difficult to top the soil if it is too deep, and this kind of crop likes sandy loam and yellow loam, so you must pay attention to watering.

Another example is the straw mulching technology that the Supervisory Committee likes to use most. Because this technology requires a lot of labor and is relatively professional, it can only be promoted under the guidance of the technicians of the Supervisory Committee. At least those who have participated in a short training course for technicians, even old crops, can't figure out the way.

After some research, Sun Xin and the others found that straw mulch is also very important for cotton, and they also speculated that the time to remove the film should be in the early flowering period of cotton, because at this time Shandong just started to rain, and the time is later. A little bit, the straw mulch will prevent the infiltration of rainwater, causing the cotton to take root too deep and easily lodging.

This series of operations, many Liu Cai and the Li people, didn't understand at all, but the final situation really educated them.

This year is the seventh and eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it is already obvious that the cotton growth under the guidance of the supervisory committee technicians is actually better than those Li people who have learned to grow cotton since childhood have never seen it.

Among the blossoming white cotton, the fruits are big and the flowers are bright. If such cotton can be grown in Qiongzhou, they don't know how happy they will be.

Since then, Liu Cai has cast all his heart on Sun Xin. He has discovered that although there are many capable people in the College of Agriculture of the Supervisory Council University, every time they encounter a big problem, everyone will not know what to do and they will finally ask Sun Xin for advice.

Obviously this Sun Xin is the most capable one among this group of people.

No wonder Sun Xin is able to lead such a big business, he really has miraculous abilities!
When Liu Cai came to the cotton gin today, he had already made plans to see some novelties.

Today's cotton ginning trial production is carried out by a few technicians and new workers who arrived at the factory together. Everyone made a few loads of raw materials and picked them in. When they saw the amount of raw materials, many of them had not participated in the cotton ginning before. Everyone in the industrial port of the factory construction is bright in front of their eyes.

Many of them are cotton spinners. Last year, they processed cotton for more than half a year, but they knew how troublesome the work of picking cotton seeds was.

Don't look too big at the cotton ginning factory in front of you, but if the cotton is processed in the traditional way, it can only produce dozens of catties a day.

But now this cotton ginning factory is only in trial production, and has already picked up a few loads of cotton ambitiously. Obviously, this will not be a full-day output. How big is the potential of this factory.

Under the guidance of the technician, the new workers shovel the raw materials into the hopper, push them into the oven, and then someone goes down to start the fire.

The blasting principle of this oven was designed by the people in the industry. Instead of using the original manual blasting, it was built with hot air convection in mind. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the hot air convection inside will naturally make it The cotton was turned in the bellows, a bit like the laminar flow dryer that Sun Xin had seen in his previous life.

Sun Xin and the others listened to the roaring sound of the oven. From time to time, someone opened the upper feeding port and took out some cotton to check the humidity.

Watching the process of taking samples to test the humidity, Sun Xin said with a smile to the people around him: "This work needs to be delicate. I don't know if the female worker can do it."

Humidity testing in this year is not just a matter of setting up an instrument to measure it, it also requires quite cumbersome chemical equipment operations.

It is indeed difficult for male workers to be rough, and it is also a bit difficult to train them. If they do not know how to do it, it is easy to cause problems. After Sun Xin said this, the people around him shook their heads: "The process of loading and unloading It's too laborious, and it's not easy to keep too many people in this oven, and it has to load and unload and inspect, and the female workers may not be able to do it."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, a female voice next to her said dissatisfiedly: "I don't think this work is too heavy. Most of the female workers can do it. Let me try."

Everyone was quite surprised when they heard the words, but when Sun Xin heard the voice, he thought he should have guessed it a long time ago, and couldn't help but look back at Sister Gu who said this.
