Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 477, Beidahuang
"Boss, why did you bring so many clothes? We just went away for a few days and came back. It's almost summer."

In the trunk of the jeep, Xiao Wei and Xiao Gong only had one suitcase each. The rest were basically Jiang Yan's belongings, not counting the backpack made by Yingjiang, and there were three large suitcases.

Sitting in the parking lot, secretary Xiao Gong asked Jiang Yan a little confused.

Since Xiao Wei also went to Shengjing with Jiang Yan this time, the driver who was driving today was temporarily seconded from the research institute. Xiao Wei was sitting in the passenger seat today. When he heard his secretary Xiao Gong ask, he also perked up his ears angrily. Listen to Jiang Yan's explanation.

"We estimate that we will be there for a long time. You have probably never been to the Northeast. The weather in the Northeast can freeze people to death in winter. Don't prepare some cotton-padded clothes."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he saw that the two people had no reaction, and then continued.

"The climate in the Northeast is different from other places. It straddles between the mid-temperate climate and the cold temperate climate. It belongs to the temperate monsoon climate. Therefore, the winter in the Northeast is dry and cold, and it is the coldest place in the country. The so-called Wodong This term was also coined in the Northeast. Because the winter in the Northeast is too cold, many Northeastern people don’t like to go out and prefer to stay at home. Northeastern people make a lot of cotton-padded jackets and trousers to keep out the cold. These clothes are worn in other places for the winter. There’s no use at all.”

"Then how does their weather compare with ours in Sijiu City?"

After hearing what Jiang Yan said, Xiao Gong then asked Jiang Yan.

There is no comparison between the two. Besides, there is no greenhouse effect these days, and it is really cold this winter.

It is said that in the Northeast, people freeze to death every year because of the cold weather.

Jiang Yan thought for a while, then said: "The lowest temperature in the Northeast in winter can reach more than minus 40 degrees. When you go out, your eyelashes will be frosted, and your hands and face will feel very cold without wearing gloves and hats. This can be seen from many aspects. The winter in the Northeast is very cold. For example, in the Northeast winter there will be ice on the roofs of buildings, rime on the riverside or on the top of mountains, the roads will freeze, and the rivers will have thick ice. You can even play with ice sledges and pump ice. Monkeys, people can walk on glaciers. Some people who work outside all year round will suffer from frostbite on their hands and feet in the Northeast in winter.

"In the winter in the Northeast, people will ask you whether you drink soda at room temperature or iced. How do you choose?"

"Of course I choose the room temperature one. Leader, you said that the temperature in the Northeast is so low that only a fool would choose the iced one." Xiao Wei, who was sitting on the co-pilot, said quite confidently.

Jiang Yan also saw that Xiao Gong had the same expression.

Seeing these two people like this, Jiang Yan chuckled.

"If it were me, I would definitely choose room temperature."

"Leader, why is this?" The two people asked at the same time.

"Because cold beer is stored in a cold storage at [-] to [-] degrees above zero, while normal temperature beer is stored outdoors at [-] degrees below zero. This cold soda is lower than normal temperature."

Although there are no household refrigerators in this era, most cities have cold storages, and some things are also placed in the cold storages. The most common thing is to buy popsicles in the summer and share them with others, until they put quilts inside the boxes to keep them warm. .

Some state-run cold drink stalls will go to the cold storage to get some ice and put it in a large basin, and then put soda in it to have a chilling effect.

But when it comes to this refrigerator, Jiang Yan vaguely remembers that my country's first refrigerator was the "Snowflake" brand refrigerator successfully developed by the Sijiucheng Snowflake Refrigerator Factory in 1956.When I go back this time, I will ask Wang Honghai to see if he can get himself a refrigerator ticket.After coming back to his senses, he wiped his saliva and heard his secretary Xiao Gong ask: "Leader, you said it's so cold in the Northeast, why do we still want to develop the Great Northern Wilderness?"

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the secretary ask, and then quickly recalled it in his mind.

In fact, the country's development of Northeast China can be traced back to 1947, when the Anti-Japanese War was victorious and the country was restored. At that time, the war shifted from strategic defense to strategic counter-offensive.

The leaders of the Northeast, who had just moved from Meihekou to Bingcheng, had already set their sights on the vast desert wasteland of Northern Manchuria.

You must know that the team in the Northeast at that time was called luxurious. After they had a hard work style at first, they also had handsome talents who were good at managing the economy. At that time, the two of them had begun to scan every wasteland, swamp, and hillock in the black land of Northern Manchuria that deserved attention... …

In the spring of this year, after analyzing the situation at that time, they emphasized: "Trial commercial farms and conduct mechanized agricultural experiments to prepare for rural construction after liberation."

The War of Liberation had just turned into a strategic counter-offensive, and the far-sighted leaders had begun to play the "immigration and reclamation" card.

As a result, batches of soldiers were mobilized, in accordance with the order issued by the commander-in-chief in "Establishing a Solid Northeast Base Area" - "Except for the field regiments that have concentrated operations and bear major combat tasks, all troops and agencies must and engage in production in their spare time...the whole Northeast must plan this immediately", and they moved towards the countryside, towards the wasteland, towards the farmland and ruins abandoned and destroyed when the Japanese pioneering group retreated...

From 1947 to 1949, a number of public mechanical farms were born in the smoke of war.Their names are: Tongbei, Zhao Guang, Ning'an, Xingkai, [-], [-]...

Indeed, cold was the first enemy the pioneers faced.

Beidahuang has complex natural landforms.

To its north is the extraordinary Xiaoxing'anling area.There are vast mountains, gentle hills, and wide valleys.This place is on the edge of the wind and is under the rule of frost for two-thirds of the year, with the permafrost layer being up to 2.5 meters thick.To the west of it is the Songnen Plain Area, where the Nen River flows thousands of miles south from the Yilhuli Mountains and merges with the Songhua River to erode, making the terrain here flat and the dreamlike vast expanse of prairie.To the east is the Sanjiang Plain area.The average altitude is only 54 meters, and the slope is [-]/[-], forming a rare flat terrain, forming a large area of ​​low-humid swampland with unpredictable floating hills, hence the magical legend of "Ghost Swamp".

The Great Northern Wilderness is located in a frontier area.

It faces Russia across the river from the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River to the east and north.In the area, there are large rivers blocking and countless streams and streams cutting; there are ice and snow cutting off roads, Jingchai roads are blocked; there are poisonous insects and swarms of beasts; there are also horrifying local epidemics, such as "hemorrhagic fever" and "grams". "Mountain Disease" and other rampant rampages made the historical Northern Wilderness extremely dangerous in legends.At that time, the famous writer Nie Gannu was sent to this place. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sing:
The beauty lies on the top of the dangerous peak.

Treasures must be hidden in difficult and dangerous places.

Beidahuang is a treasure land of the motherland.

This is one of the three largest black soil belts in the world.The soil is fertile, and the organic matter content is mostly between 5% and 8%, and in some areas it is as high as 10% or more.There are abundant water conservancy resources here, with rivers crisscrossing the surface, considerable underground reserves, and abundant atmospheric precipitation, which are extremely suitable for agricultural development; there are precious mineral resources, including coal, iron, copper, gold, and oil; and there are extremely rich wild animals. Plant resources include tigers, bears, deer, and deer in the mountains and forests; red-crowned cranes and swans in the swamps; catfish, sturgeons, salmon, and white fish in the rivers and lakes. They are all aquatic treasures, including ginseng, hericium, and fungus. , mushrooms are also precious mountain treasures... No wonder people of all dynasties were not afraid of dangers and difficulties, and rushed to embark on that pioneering road with almost no return, leaving a mark for future generations that can be remembered.

Especially in our era, there are too many people who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and they hold up the backbone of this country.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff. In a slightly low voice, he told his secretary about the rich mineral resources in the Northeast and his black soil. After saying this, he said: " They are embarking on a great undertaking, one that has never been done before or since."
