Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 575 Drought
This year's drought has exceeded all expectations.

For a whole month starting from May, not a drop of rain fell.

Even the water output from Lu Changhua's underground spring has decreased a lot.

Several creeks surrounding the three-point court have also lost water.

All companies on the farm have actively carried out drought relief work.

There were queues at all the rivers, with more than a dozen water tankers pumping water.

When encountering such a drought, the previous spraying methods no longer work.

The first place to adopt precision irrigation was Lu Changhua’s No. [-] plot.

Because this plot is planted with wheat this year.

He had a meter-high wooden frame laid in the wheat field.

Put the PVC pipes on these shelves.

Drill small holes in the bottom of the pipe.

Such pipes are laid every two meters, extending from the end of the field to the end.

Every ten pipes are connected in parallel at the end of the field.

A pressurized pump is installed at the water outlet of the water tanker and connected to the pipe head.

A water tanker can hold five tons of water, and the water is pumped into these water pipes through a pressurized pump.

The small holes below will spurt out water one after another.

If the pressure is too high, it will form a rain and fog state.

As long as two cans of water are sprayed continuously, the drought problem of crops can be effectively alleviated.

Lu Changhua has been personally taking command in the field these days.

Thousands of acres of farmland on Ground No. [-] have been irrigated one after another.

The wheat seedlings clearly grow taller at the joints and are bright green in color.

Many water tankers in the company can only go to the river to pump water, but Lu Changhua gets water nearby.

Li Zhenguo also opened his mouth to ask for help.

But Lu Changhua did not agree this time.

"Secretary Li, I'm not selfish. You have also seen that the water in my reservoir has dropped so much that I don't even have enough water for my own land. If you come to collect water again, I'm afraid it will be drained. How will my fish survive?"

Li Zhenguo nodded and sighed.

"I know. I also went to see the reservoir. What you said is the truth."

"Secretary, if you really don't have any other options, just pump water from wells. It's worth spending some electricity. Going back and forth to the river to pump water also wastes gas! It's the same thing inside and outside."

"we can only do this."

Sometimes, people just can't make up their minds.

I always think that free water must be used to fight drought.

But the transportation cost is also money.

There is a ready-made motor shaft that is not being used, so what are you doing with your time?

Waste electricity?

It is true that pumping underground water costs electricity, but it saves distance and fuel money, the same thing.

Because the reservoir is right next to Land No. [-], Lu Changhua only needs some labor and oil for his own use.

Although I no longer have to drive into the fields, I have achieved better results.

But the cost of laying water pipes is not low.

Seeing that Lu Changhua had spent so much effort, Li Zhenguo didn't approve.

In the past, water tankers went into the fields to spray the fields, just like spraying pesticides, but at a slower pace.

The key is to save trouble.

And it costs nothing.

Lu Changhua didn't think so.

"Secretary Li, my water pipe can still be used next year. It is not a one-time thing. The most important thing is that the irrigation effect is good and it saves water. This is precision irrigation."

"Besides, in the past, water tankers had to run across the fields, which wasted fuel and had poor irrigation results. Even if they traveled over a wide area, the leaves of the wheat would get wet, but the roots would still be dry."

"And if there's no water halfway down the road, you have to run back and forth, which is troublesome."

"Besides, this wheat field has long been compacted by you crushing it back and forth, which is not conducive to the growth of wheat seedlings."

"Uh-huh."

Li Zhenguo nodded.

What Lu Changhua said is correct, but who pays for it?

Besides, there are tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the branch. How can we spend so much money on it?

The cost is too high.

Some people are in favor of Lu Changhua's method, some are against it, and some are disapproving of it.

Lu Changhua knew that the cost of doing this in the wheat field was too high and not cost-effective.

Many employees are unable to do so.

You've done it this year, but next year you'll be rotating crops, and you still don't know where your land is.

What are you doing?
Have to do it again every year.

Lu Changhua's land is fixed. Although the water pipes laid during the autumn harvest will have to be dismantled and re-laid if they are to be used again next year, for him, the added cost is a one-time cost.

From now on it will just be a matter of adding more labor.

Li Zhenguo smacked his lips and said, "You can only afford this thing, so we'll still use the old method."

In order to save the time of the water tanker on the ground.

Lu Changhua built many water tanks on the land.

With the pressure pump, you no longer need a water tanker to discharge water directly. You only need to pour the water into the water tank and the pressure pump delivers water to the water pipe.

After unloading the water, the water tanker can go to the reservoir to pump water again.

As long as there is water in the water tank, the water pipe can spray 24 hours a day.

In fact, spraying it for 24 hours is basically enough.

Farmland drought relief is in full swing.

Qiliu is a forest tree that likes moisture, and drought is fatal to it.

At Lu Changhua's suggestion, the farm first arranged drought-resistant irrigation for the Qiliu field.

Who knows, this drought lasted for more than a month.

Other crops are also short of water.

There was no way around it, so the water tankers used to irrigate Qiliu had to move to another battlefield.

These five thousand acres of willows have become a motherless child again.

Lu Changhua is also anxious.

But he could only do it in a hurry.

Qi Liutian at six points.

Due to the continuous drought, many willows have grown to [-] to [-] centimeters, and the color is a little dry and yellow.

He looked so wilted that he was about to die.

Every household is very anxious.

Many families do not need to be urged by their leaders this time.

There are water trucks to haul water, and there are buckets to carry water.

Anyway, I have thought of everything I can think of.

Lu Changhua's Mercedes-Benz pulled out a puff of smoke on the farm road.

The sun overhead made the cab sweltering.

Even the car air conditioner has become weak.

He parked the car on the side of the road, and through the smoke and dust from the rear of the car, he saw the faint figures in the Qiliu field.Push the door open.

A heat wave is coming.

Drill straight from the neckline to the body.

"Cough cough!"

Lu Changhua covered his mouth and nose and waved his hand to close the car door.

He quickly ran two steps outside and rushed out of the smoke.

Then he opened his mouth to breathe.

What enters the mouth and nose is warm turbid air.

In the heat wave, clouds of dust floating in the air made it difficult to open one's eyes.

The soil under his feet had already hardened.

Every step hurts my feet, and a wave of heat shoots up into my trouser legs.

I was setting up a pergola with my hands when I saw a woman wandering over carrying a bucket.

"Sister-in-law, where did you pick up this water?"

The woman glanced at Lu Changhua.

"In the river."

"Is it far?"

"It's in Wuliu Di."

Looking at only half of the water left along the way, Lu Changhua smacked his lips and had nothing to say.

As a farmer, sometimes I feel really pitiful.

Farming means relying on the sky for food.

It doesn't matter whether it's drought or flood.

There are not many good years for Toyota.

Most have natural disasters.

There is a drought now, and if it is not alleviated, it will be followed by pests and diseases.

This is the new society. If we were left in the old society, we would have to sell our sons and daughters in such a situation.

Lu Changhua circled around the six-point court and then went to the seven-point court. The situation was basically the same.

There are no water tankers, and every household relies on manual pumping of water. In such a drought, it is simply a drop in the bucket!
The situation is the same for nine-point games and ten-point games.

Each company only has a few water tankers, and they are overwhelmed when fighting a drought.

Lu Changhua also negotiated with the company leaders, but they were at a loss, and there was nothing they could do!
Lu Changhua gritted his teeth and called his wife.

Now we can only ask for help.

"Daughter-in-law, the drought down here is very serious. Can you see if the group can provide some support?"

"How can I support you? Make a donation?"

"It has nothing to do with donations. Water tankers are urgently needed."

"How much?"

"As much as you want!"

Changhe Group is now working overtime to produce water tank trucks, and many customers are queuing up at the factory gate.

"Let me ask for you."

Wang Yao's words made Lu Changhua very nervous.

Now, he has not been in charge of the group for many years, and he does not know the details of the group.

He only knew that the group had water tankers, but he had no idea whether or how much they had in stock.

The situation of drought relief work this year is grim.

Changhe Group responded to the situation and supported drought relief efforts by mass-producing water tankers.

Of course Wang Yao knows.

He contacted the Tractor Group.

There are not many cars left in stock, only ten.

Wang Yao immediately asked them to keep the car and not deliver it.

Then call your husband back.

"Only ten left."

"Huh? So little?"

"don't want?"

"Yes, yes."

Can he not want it?He wants even one!
"Arrange to come down."

"Drive to where?"

"Field Department, I'll pick up the car from the Field Department. Give me a call when you get there."

Not only that, he also called his own employees at the three-point field and asked them to bring a water tanker.

Lu Changhua has two water tankers at the three-point field, one for the field, and one at home, which can barely support the use.

The next morning, eleven water tankers parked on the roadside of the government compound.

The cadres in the agency were very surprised when they saw this.

Who sent this water tanker?
This is really the dew that comes after a long drought, and a pillow for those who are sleepy!

Li Wei and Director Yang didn't know why. They went over and asked the driver who sent this car.

"We belong to Changhe Group."

"Changhe Group? Is this the car sent by Mr. Lu?"

"Yeah, we'll wait for him here."

"Oh, that's great!"

Li Wei quickly took out his phone and wanted to call Lu Changhua to express his gratitude.

There was a sudden squeak of the brakes.

A dusty Mercedes-Benz pulled up in front of it.

Li Wei and Yang Guang didn't know who it was yet, so the car window slid down.

"Secretary Li, Director Yang."

Li Wei lowered his head and saw that it was Lu Changhua.

"Oh, Mr. Lu. I was just about to call you!"

Li Wei said with a smile on his face.

Then he pointed to the water tanker beside him and asked, "Did you bring these?"

"Yes."

"Oh! That's great. The farm is short of water tankers. Thank you!"

"Hey, what do you mean? Why are you thanking me?"

Lu Changhua was a little confused for a moment.

"Isn't this the car you gave to the farm?"

Yang Guang was also a little confused. Why did he feel like something was wrong? !
Lu Changhua reacted quickly and knew that they had misunderstood.

He quickly said: "Qiliu is about to die of drought. I see that everyone is carrying water manually. How can that be done? No, I quickly transferred a water tanker to save the emergency first!"

"Oh!"

Li Wei and Yang Guang blinked and realized that they had misunderstood.

However, Li Wei asked a little embarrassedly: "Can you use Qiliu Tian for us to use again?"
