Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 77 Wang Lianshun's situation is too small
Speaking of which, check dams have a history of hundreds of years on the Loess Plateau.

The pioneer of modern water conservancy, Mr. Li Yizhi, who benefited the entire Sanqin land, also used check dams as an integral part of the plan to control the Yellow River.

The specific method of check dams is very simple—blocking rivers and ditches to build dams.

The rivers on the Loess Plateau have a high sediment content, and after they are blocked, within a few years, a piece of good river land will be formed.

Of course, it is easy to say, but the specific site selection and construction is not so simple.

It's not that the three of Wang Manyin and the others can get things done just by sitting in Tuge Lao and talking and smoking a few cigarettes, especially when it comes to digging ponds and raising fish, which requires careful consideration.

Although the Loess Plateau is dry and rainless, except in summer.Frequent sudden torrential rains, forming mountain torrents and landslides.Without scientific planning, a heavy rain may make the people of Guanzi Village busy for nothing.

Just like a certain village party secretary, the apple trees planted in the village did not bear fruit for several years, so he specially invited technicians to give advice.

After looking at the fruit trees, people told them: the trees are full and need to be pruned.

As a result, the village party secretary scolded the technician for his nonsense, "cut off the heart of the person", and then sent him away.

Because of this, Wang Manyin deliberately talked about the difficulties of the check dam first.

The best way is to let professionals do professional things.

"Man Yin, you're right. It's really not a decision that can be made with a pat on the head. We really need to ask someone who knows how to guide us."

After listening, Wang Lianshun nodded vigorously.

"There is another question, what kind of fish do we raise, and where do the fry come from?" At this time, Liu Xiangyang interjected.

Wang Lianshun was confused when he heard it, and asked in confusion: "What kind of fish can I raise? Can't I catch some fry in the river?"

"Captain, there are many types of freshwater fish. Some individuals don't grow very big, and some grow very slowly." Liu Xiangyang explained, and then asked, "Isn't it, Brother Wang?"

Of course, he has seen many kinds of freshwater fish and eaten many times.But after all, I lived in the city since I was a child, and my knowledge about fish is superficial.

How big all kinds of fish can grow, but it is not clear, so I can only try to ask Wang Manyin for help.

Of course, in his heart, he didn't think the other party knew.

Wang Manyin is not afraid.

Although he has never really raised fish, he lived in the countryside for more than ten years before crossing over, and he also saw people digging fish ponds.

In addition, after graduating from university, Wang Manyin went to work, but he couldn't find a girlfriend. Instead, he evolved into a senior fisherman, and he knew all kinds of fish knowledge like the palm of his hand.So he was not stumped by Liu Xiangyang's question.

"That's right, it's amazing that ordinary crucian carp can grow half a catty a year. Carp, grass carp, herring and silver carp can grow a few catties if they are fed well in a year."

As he spoke, Wang Manfu deliberately drew the length of the fish with his hands.

If he wasn't afraid of being too shocking, he even planned to tell the two of them how to catch various freshwater fish.

"What are you talking about, you must feed the big fish. If you feed a thousand fish, each family in our second team can share dozens of catties of fish, and celebrate the New Year happily."

After listening to Wang Manyin's narration, Wang Lianshun's eyes shone with brilliance.

For a moment, my blood boiled with enthusiasm, and I wished I could call the members of the commune immediately to start working.

"Dozens of catties? Uncle Lian Shun, how dare you think, where does the fish feed come from?" Wang Manyin asked speechlessly.

"I still need to feed? I don't think the fish in the Dongla River have been fed, so they are still alive and well?"

"It's wild fish, a few are fine. Can pigs gain weight by feeding sweet potato seedlings?" Wang Manyin's words made the other party completely dumbfounded.

After a pause, he continued: "From the perspective of saving, our jar village is the most suitable for raising grass carp. This thing not only grows fast, but also easy to feed. Other fish need to be fed, and grass carp can grow by eating aquatic plants alone. Just grow slower."

"Then let's feed grass carp..."

It was almost noon after work, and the three of them discussed the basic matters.

On the way home, Wang Manyin deliberately replayed the conversation.After confirming that the convening did not say anything out of the ordinary, he felt at ease.

During the period, Wang Lianshun also invited him to go to the village to report together, but Wang Manyin flatly refused.

The reason is simple, since I am not a village cadre, I will not join in the fun.

Fish farming seems to be a good thing, and theoretically there will be no disturbances.But... these days, who can say clearly.I don't want to be set as a model myself, so let others show my face.

Just keep going, just wait ten years later.

After dinner in the evening, Wang Lianshun hurriedly took Liu Xiangyang with him, and reported directly to Wang Mandun and Zhao Jianhai.He didn't mention building dams to raise fish at all. He only said that the second team planned to find a ditch and silt dam along the Dongla River to contribute to increasing grain production and bumper harvests.

These words were very in line with Zhao Jianhai's mind. He slapped his thigh straight and praised Wang Lianshun for his high awareness.

Some time ago, he had just finished the pig raising mobilization meeting for the second team, but he was beaten with a sap at night.Although the murderer was not found in this matter, it was nothing but confusion.

But Zhao Jianhai always remembered it in his heart, and even had opinions on Wang Lianshun.

Let him change his mind today, this person is still enlightened.

While Zhao Jianhai was excited, he put forward his own opinion: "I fully support this matter, but your steps are still a bit small. You should take a longer-term view and dare to think and do it!"

According to his rhetoric, just building an earth dam in the ditch and chacha does not show the abilities of the members of our Guanzi Village.

The Dongla River should be cut off directly, and a larger earth dam should be built along the two hills at the head of the village.Even if we can't be the first in the original Xi County, we must strive to be the largest in Shige Festival.

At that time, the entire Dongla River will become a flat river, which can add thousands of acres of good farmland to Guanzi Village...

After hearing Zhao Jianhai's words, Wang Lianshun almost lost his mind.

I'll be good!He originally thought that he dared to think, but who knew that the layout was too small.

It would not take much effort to build an earth dam on the river to intercept the flow only during the dry season.

However, if the entire Dongla River is to be intercepted by the silt dam and the two hills will be blocked, the amount of work will be huge, at least tens of meters high... Is this something that can be said by closing the lips?
Men, women and children in Guanzi Village have been busy for several years and may not be able to complete it.

Everyone is going to build barrages, who will plant the fields?
How did Director Zhao come up with such a nonsense idea?
Not to mention him, even Wang Mandun was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Officer Zhao, your idea is very good. But if we block the Dongla River completely, what should we do if the downstream villages are watered due to drought? If water disputes cause conflicts, people will die!"

"Yes, fighting for water, I almost forgot about it!" Wang Lianshun's face also changed drastically.

The Loess Plateau is short of water, so people naturally pay more attention to water flow.

There are more than a dozen villages in the upper and lower reaches of the Dongla River, because there are too many conflicts in the drought season.

Both Wang Mandun and Wang Lianshun have experienced it.

Even the people from the Shigejie Commune couldn't solve the trouble, and finally people from the county settled it.

In other places, the way of fighting for water is to drill fire urns: each side gets a big urn, cuts off the bottom of the urn, lays it flat on a stone platform, and sets it up for roasting.

Until the big urn is burning red, each villager will choose a villager from the same village to hold a fire urn drilling competition.The person who drills out first wins, and the village can give priority to irrigated crops.

"Then...forget it, let's dam up a small earth dam first as the second captain said." Hearing Wang Mandun's talk about the history of fighting for water, Zhao Jianhai immediately began to retreat.

I wanted to make some achievements to attract attention, but if this caused a large-scale fighting between the two villages, a good thing would turn into a bad thing.

As the instigator, he may not be able to get away with it.

Hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xiangyang felt that he understood why Wang Manyin was unwilling to come and report.
