Heavy Industry Empire

I recommend my old book, The Legend of the Empire of Time Traveling. If you like it, you can read it. It is also about military affairs.) For an army of nearly 5 people, meat is also a big expense every day. Twenty catties of gold can be regarded as the icing on the cake. The gold was handed over to the treasury for safekeeping.

Duan Xuewen smiled and said, "Is it because of our administration?"

"Well, for sure, we will build several universities in one go. Next year our finances will still not be abundant, but let's focus on education, medical care, and agricultural development first," Liu Tianling said, handing the other [-] catties of gold to Duan Xuewen, Duan Xuewen Let the finances make detailed records and manage the gold storage.

"The situation will gradually improve. In the second half of this year, more than [-] small reservoirs have been built in Tengxian, Yixian, Pingyi, and Feixian counties, which we have the earliest knowledge of."

"Why so many?" Liu Tianling was startled.

"A lot, I didn't feel it. You may not understand what this small reservoir means. The reservoirs built on rivers and streams have small storage capacity and shallow water depth. They are mainly located in the eastern part of Teng County, Pingyi County and Fei County. At most, almost every village has built three or four small reservoirs. In this way, these reservoirs will start to play a role next year. They can withstand some minor droughts, increase food production a lot, and drive fish farming at the same time. , the development of duck breeding," Duan Xuewen said happily.

There is also such a small reservoir in Liu Tianling's hometown. It is most used for irrigation, and it can also raise some ducks. If you raise dozens of ducks, the farmers have enough money for oil and salt for a year.

"Flood control and drought resistance are okay, and ducks are okay, but fish farming is not easy. Those reservoirs are filled with wild fish as small as grasshoppers. How can there be any fish?"

Duan Xuewen said with a smile: "Haha, that's the method you haven't seen my old Duan. I'm not a freelancer. I'll take you to have a look. I plan to give some of the money you allocated this time to this project,"

Duan Xuewen was very happy, but pretending to be mysterious, Liu Tianling asked: "What project, let me reveal a little bit,"

"You only keep your research on planes, tanks and cannons secret. The project I'm running is not so high-secret. It's not far away, it's at Weishan Lake,"

"Hehe, I guessed it as soon as I guessed it, let's go to the fish farm, let's go and have a look," Liu Tianling said.

Duan Xuewen looked at his watch: "It's already seven o'clock in the evening,"

"Is there any time limit for our work? Besides, it's just to see. Let's add up the total. If it's worthwhile, we will invest more,"

"Well, go now, you're a soldier's brat,"

For the sake of safety, Liu Tianling brought more than 20 bodyguards including Li Yinwei and Ye Feng. Liu Tianling and Duan Xuewen took the commander's off-road vehicle, and the others took two Linghu multi-purpose personnel carriers and went straight to Weishan Lake.

Weishan Lake is located in the southwest of Teng County, about [-] kilometers away. It is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. Although it has a large area, there is no special administrative agency. Weishan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the north. It is known as the land of fish and rice. It is rich in carp, crucian carp and black fish. , catfish, among which crucian carp and carp are the most famous. At the same time, there are many lotus and lotus roots by the lake. During the famine years, other places are poor, but here is the richest.

Weishan Lake is very big. Duan Xue’s base was established by a lake in Crucian Carp Bay. The gate is made of steel, and the house sign says Teng County Aquaculture Research Institute. There are people on duty at the gate. The motorcade parks in the yard. Only when I looked carefully, all I saw were plastic greenhouses.

"I said, old man, this is not a vegetable greenhouse," Liu Tianling asked.

Duan Xuewen smiled and said: "Why, there are fish ponds in the greenhouse. I was inspired when I was building a vegetable greenhouse in the second half of the year. At that time, an old fisherman from Weishan Lake happened to give advice, so I set up this research institute. Some investment, but the relative return is still great,"

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man in his 40s rushed over with a few students who looked like students, and said from a long distance: "Why did Mr. Duan come here? Could it be that there is something important?"

"Director Yan, it's nothing important. I'll bring head Liu to see the development of the research institute," Duan Xuewen said.

Director Yan who came over had a fishy smell all over his body, and the three behind him should be his assistants.

"Look at my clothes, it's a little outrageous, I'll go and change it," Director Yan said.

Liu Tianling hurriedly said: "It's okay, you can show us the fishing ground and tell us your thoughts and ideas,"

"Okay, let's talk in the shed," Director Yan led Liu Tianling and others into the shed. The temperature in the shed was high, around [-] degrees. When the lights were turned on, the jubilant fish in the water could be clearly seen.

"This shed is heated by sunlight and a straw heating stove, which can keep the fish active and grow in winter. Of course, this is only for breeding small fish fry," said Director Yan.

Liu Tianling asked: "Director Yan, please tell me how you want to study this project first."

Director Yan was a little nervous, and said: "Is this, I told you, don't laugh at me,"

Duan Xuewen said: "The leader doesn't laugh at you, others don't understand you, but the leader and I will definitely understand you,"

Director Yan scratched his head: "People in the village say that I am a lunatic, so let me just say it. My family is a generation of fishermen next to Weishan Lake. There are few people who can fish like my grandfather. Fishing is very leisurely, and even You don’t use nets, but use harpoons to fish by the lake, and if you catch three or five carp a day, you can sell them for a good price.”

"Three or five items can be sold at a good price,"

"Yes, at that time the fish were big, carp weighing ten catties was very common, crucian carp and even ferocious snakeheaded fish were very common. In my father's generation, the fish became smaller, and fish weighing three to five catties was not uncommon, and the harvest was abundant every day. , without worrying about food and clothing, but in recent years, the number of fishermen has skyrocketed. Although Weishan Lake is big, there are too many fishermen. They catch all the heavy fish, and there are fishermen who don’t know the rules. beat,"

"Do you have any good suggestions? As the population increases, fishermen also need to eat. We can't stop them from eating just to protect the fish," Liu Tianling sighed.

Yan Suochang spread his hands: "Impossible, I don't want the fishermen to have nothing to eat, but I want them to eat this bowl of rice for a longer time."

"Then do you have any specific ideas," Liu Tianling asked.

"The first idea, which is what I have been doing for so many years, is to cultivate seedlings, change fishing to aquaculture, use cages and fish ponds to raise fish, so that it is possible to reduce the amount of fishing. Later, Chief Duan found out that I would cultivate fry , let me serve as the director of this kind of research institute, cultivate fish fry, and supply common reservoir culture, "

"What about the second step?"

"The second step is not something I can do. My idea is that fishing is prohibited from mid-February to mid-May every year. Many people can't understand it. In fact, these three months are the time when fish are down. Fishing is prohibited at this time. It is for the fishermen that the fish can reproduce better,” said Director Yan.

Liu Tianling turned to look at Duan Xuewen: "How do you feel about the three-month moratorium on fishing every spring?"

Duan Xuewen said: "It is too hasty to draw conclusions on this matter now. I will arrange for someone to investigate. If there is a need for protection, I think a fishing moratorium can be implemented."

Liu Tianling nodded: "The suspension of fishing is a big deal, so let's investigate it carefully, old Duan."

Director Yan was very surprised and stammered: "The head of the group seems to know these things very well."

"It's nothing. I've always paid attention to the environment. It's the worst thing to do. It's just a matter of great importance. We need to investigate the situation. Director Yan, please introduce the situation of the fish you cultivated."

Director Yan began to continue to introduce that the current research institute is very small, with only [-] greenhouse fish ponds, but there are quite a few fish ponds, but there is no vitality in winter.

"This is the No. [-] fish pond. The main species is the Weishan Lake carp. The carp is a very pure breed. It grows fast and is very suitable for stocking in the reservoir. At present, there are [-] species of carp, and it can breed hundreds of millions of small carp in the first spring. fry,"

Li Yinbiao looked at the carp in the pond, and his saliva was about to flow down, "The carp in Weishan Lake is beautiful, but I don't understand, why don't you choose the big ones? The big fish in Weishan Lake are dozens of kilograms." It must be quite a lot,"

"Yin Dart asked a good question. Who will answer him?" Liu Tianling looked at the crowd, but Director Yan didn't say anything. A small carp that weighs just a few pounds is a young fish that is equivalent to a young woman. The carp that weighs tens of pounds looks good, but it is actually equivalent to an old lady who is dozens of years old. You say that it is good for a young woman to have a child. It's better to be an old lady."

"Haha, although this analogy is not serious, it is very correct," Director Yan said, "Don't call me Director Yan, just call me Old Yan, and the fishermen nearby call me Yan who protects the fish. , in fact, I protect the fish for the benefit of everyone.”

The first fish pond is crucian carp. Weishan Lake is rich in bait, and there are many crucian carp, but most of the crucian carp are not big, and most of them weigh about half a catty. Crucian carp is a common fish that eats plants. It grows fast and tastes delicious. It is a common fish in Shandong area. It can be found in ditches and rivers, and its breeding is relatively simple. Although crucian carp is small in size, it has wide adaptability, so the number of fish fry is also very large. Hundreds of millions will be bred after the spring Counted seedlings.

In addition to the common carp, crucian carp, grass carp, and silver carp, there are also some species that Liu Tianling could not think of. The water in a small pool is not deep, and there is no heating here, so the temperature in the shed is not high.

Liu Tianling took a closer look and it turned out to be loaches, "Old Yan, loaches also grow seedlings. I don't remember that there are everywhere in the river."

"That's right. Loach has high nutritional value. Of course, there are a lot of catches. The small lotus ponds in small streams and rivers are shallow, and there are few other fish, but you can put some loaches, and you don't need to deliberately raise them. They go to the above places every year. Put some loach seedlings, and count as much as you can catch in autumn," said Old Yan.

"That won't destroy the ecological balance," said Liu Tianling, who has never studied the relationship between these fish and the ecology.

The three assistants behind Old Yan were very surprised, "The head of the group actually knows the ecological balance,"
