1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 363 Luo Tao’s Going to the Countryside

The endless golden wheat fields will be harvested in a few days.

Hou Ming and the others came to Miyun to discuss renting land and building a Xichang vegetable basket after March of the New Year. At this time, the wheat was approaching the earing season, and it looked like a bumper harvest.

The common people, the government, Xichang, and the three parties will not say at this time that the wheat has been pulled out to grow vegetables.

There is food at home, so don't panic.

Luo Tao, wearing a long straw hat made of wheat straw, stood on a high slope and looked into the distance.This was a gift from the village party secretary when he came to Xigezhuang. Luo Tao liked this straw hat very much.

When a small breeze blows, I need to press it with my hands from time to time, because there is a gap in this straw hat, that is, there is no rope to tie it.

The weather in late May was also a bit warm.

Taking advantage of the breeze, he took a good look at this large piece of land. Luo Tao had not interacted with this land for almost ten years in his life.

"Deputy County Zhang, this is a good place. I like the golden wheat very much. How about we go to the fields and have a look?"

This place is really a geomantic treasure. It is adjacent to Miyun Reservoir in the north, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a large opening, and the Baihe alluvial sandy plain in the south.

Zhang Dongfeng knew that Luo Tao had been to the countryside, but he didn't expect him to be so emotional when he saw the land.

How could he refuse this matter, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you are thinking of living in the countryside again!... Judging by the growth, this year must be a bumper harvest year."

After the leader said this, everyone else also agreed.

Although our country has been reforming for so many years, rural areas are still participating in the great wave of reform with agriculture as the mainstay and other industries as supplements.

Now we still have many people in remote areas who have not yet solved the most basic problem of having enough food and clothing.

Agricultural production is still a top priority for the country.

Whenever food is available, it is the first priority, unless the cultivator no longer eats rice or noodles.

Everyone walked to the edge of the field. Luo Tao bent down, pulled out a few grains of wheat from an ear of wheat, and put them into his mouth.

He smiled at everyone and carefully savored the long-lost taste on his tongue.

Many people who were watching didn't know what the big boss from the city was smiling at after eating a few grains of wheat.

Everyone is looking forward to hearing about it.

"Can this acre of land produce two hundred kilograms of wheat?"

Now Stanley and other chemical fertilizers have not yet entered the rural market, and they are all spreading farmyard manure.

There is also the issue of wheat seeds. In order to save money, farmers of course do not have channels to purchase high-quality varieties, so they use old wheat for seed production. These two reasons greatly affect wheat yields.

Zhang Dongfeng is also an expert on the questions raised by Luo Tao and knows the situation very well.

"If fertilizer is properly applied, 210 kilograms per acre can be achieved. Of course, this is a good year. In bad circumstances, 180 kilograms per acre of land can be achieved, which is the lowest number."

Since the implementation of "big contract work" in rural areas, grain production has increased by one-third.

When Luo Tao went to the countryside, a yield of 350 kilograms per acre was considered high yield.

In order to increase production, the land had to be plowed twice before sowing, to a depth of [-] to [-] centimeters. Fortunately, the team had a tractor, which eased the heavy work in the crop fields a lot.

If it's like the 60s, then everyone needs to do it, deep turning one foot five.

There are many benefits to plowing the land deeply, but for growing ordinary crops, it is not necessary to plow the land more than [-] feet deep.

“How many acres of cultivated land does our village have per capita now?”

This is a practical issue, and it was the village party secretary who said, "One person in our village is almost sixty-seven percent of an acre, excluding some shoals and woodland." Luo Tao listened very carefully and got a real understanding of the actual problem.

At the same time, he was also calculating a score in his heart. He was not calculating it for himself, but for the people in the villages in the west and east.

If all six members of a family are allocated fields, this family will also be allocated ten acres of land.

If they farm their own land, they won't make much money in a year, counting the autumn and harvest seasons.

Based on the maximum yield of one mu of wheat, or two crops of wheat per year, ten mu of land would weigh more than 8000 catties a year.

This year, the city adjusted its grain purchase and sale policies and prices, switching from unified purchasing to contract purchasing.

每50公斤小麦统购价由17．40元调为23．50元；玉米由12．30元调为16．60元；稻谷由17．20元调为23．20元。

The annual gross profit from growing crops is only 2000 yuan.

Of course, excluding taxes such as public grain.

The price of renting land in Xichang is 260 yuan a year for one mu of land, and [-] yuan a year for ten acres of land.

In this way, it is more cost-effective to rent it out. This does not include them working in the vegetable basket, and they still have a salary of 30 yuan a month.

"Farming is hard work, but also a down-to-earth job." He turned around and looked at the land.

"As long as you are diligent and motivated, everything will be fine."

Then they gathered around the wheat field and imagined the joy of the harvest. Several families in the field began to use sickles to start the autumn harvest in advance.

Looking at those simple smiles, Luo Tao's heart suddenly became clearer, and he felt that life had real meaning.

Helping others really makes people happy.

When I was tired from walking, I sat on a field stalk and chatted with some old farmers. What should I have for dinner?Let’s talk about whether it will rain tomorrow?
In this harvest season, it is best not to ask whether it will rain tomorrow, or you will get beaten.

Miyun County Courtyard.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Please come in." The old man sitting on the chair exclaimed with a proud voice. He never raised his head and stared at the documents in his hand.

The person who came in saw the old man, who was concentrating on reading documents. When he came in, he walked lightly and took the door of the office with him.

After waiting for a while, he saw that he made a move that could be said, and then the man said: "Secretary Gan, this is the meal money returned by the person in charge of Xiweng Restaurant."

"Huh? What's going on?"

When he heard that the money he paid for lunch was refunded, he was a little angry and questioned him.

"Mayor Chen of Xiweng said that the money was paid by the government of Xiweng Township, and you are not allowed to pay. There is another matter. Before leaving, Mr. Luo Tao asked his secretary to give the restaurant 300 yuan. Mayor Chen asked how to deal with this matter. ?”

When he heard this, his brows moved, thinking that this person was really weird.

He thought for a while, thinking about some of the situations he had a one-sided understanding of, and said with a smile: "Let them accept the money! When Mr. Luo Tao leaves, let them prepare some more local goods for him. He is in the countryside I think I would be very interested in these things."

From then on, word spread in the official circles of the capital, and some good people said: Luo Tao has not yet made any contribution to the people of Miyun, so he "does not eat what he has come to eat."
