Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1073 Two Good News (Fourth!)

Ten days later, the work-based water conservancy project in Yanchang County was completed. A total of [-] catties of grain, excluding those that were eaten, all the rest went to the people.

Just as the common people went home with the food provided by the government and were preparing to rest for a while, and when the spring plowing came, the broken bell at the entrance of Zhonggu Village suddenly rang.

In less than half an hour, dozens of strong laborers gathered at the entrance of the village with their families.

The old and the weak, women and children stood at the back, and the head of the household gathered at the front.

"Old village chief, what's the matter! Call us over early in the morning!" A middle-aged man said with dissatisfaction.

"Good thing!" The village head replied very simply, and then introduced to dozens of people: "Standing next to me is a cadre sent by the county government. You can call him Officer Wang. Officer Wang was entrusted by the county government to bring you Here are two pieces of good news, let Officer Wang tell you in person."

Hearing the words "good news", everyone stared at Officer Wang with staring eyes!
"Fellow folks, let me make a long story short here. You all know the chicken manure you usually use to grow vegetables!" Director Wang asked straight to the point without talking nonsense.

Seeing many people nodding their heads, Director Wang continued: "Chicken manure is added to the vegetable field, which can increase the fertility of the land, so that the vegetables we plant in the vegetable field will grow better. After various efforts, the county government has We have found a way to use livestock and human excrement, together with plants and crop stalks to make fertilizer, and plan to promote it in the whole county, so that the land where we grow food can also use this fertilizer to increase food production!"

"This method of retting farmyard manure is very simple, and every household can do it. After the meeting is over, I will go to each of your households to give guidance!"

A middle-aged man who had been serving the crops for half his life immediately stood up, stared at Director Wang and asked, "Those leaves and crop stalks can really be fertilized... Our land here is too barren and has no fertility. If it can be used in the field Fertilizer like chicken manure will definitely increase food production!"

"It can definitely be retting! The county government will not use such a big matter to deceive everyone. Moreover, retting only requires some effort from the villagers. Every household can increase their income by hundreds of catties of grain!"

"Officer Wang is right, the county government won't lie to us!" the village head said in time.

"Since the county magistrate of Ouyang came here, we have been thinking about building water conservancy projects for several years but have not done so under her guidance. This method of fertilization was also brought back by the magistrate of Ouyang County. She is a college student. He has studied abroad and is educated, so he will definitely not deceive us dealers!"

"Okay, let's listen to the county government, and prepare to fertilize after we go back..." Dozens of household heads clamored after a brief discussion.

At this moment, Officer Wang spoke again.

"The county government has another decision to announce to everyone!"

"The border region government and a businessman are about to set up a public-private joint venture company to buy a large number of cattle and lambs from other places and lease them to everyone."

"The specific method of leasing is: renting cattle to plow an acre of land, and renting [-] catties of grain to the company after the autumn harvest!"

"Twenty catties of grain... so much... We can plow the land with our own manpower, there is no need to use cattle!" Director Wang yelled with dissatisfaction before he finished speaking.

Several people nearby echoed, "Twenty catties of grain is too much, and we don't even have enough autumn harvest grains to eat ourselves, so why rent cattle to plow the land!"

"We don't need plowing oxen, we have enough strength, we can plow the fields by ourselves!"

At this moment, everyone's reaction was surprisingly the same, full of resistance and disagreement.

"Everyone be quiet, don't talk, I haven't finished my words yet!" Officer Wang shouted at the top of his voice.

"There's nothing to say, we don't need to farm cattle!" A middle-aged man directly retorted, staring at Director Wang, not polite at all.

The village head could only stand up and shout: "Okay, please calm down and listen to Officer Wang's words. If you don't want to then, you won't want to, and no one will force you to agree with a gun. And I believe in the government, I believe Mayor Ouyang!"

The village chief's words were still very effective, and the noisy village entrance became quiet all of a sudden.

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Everyone thinks that the rent of [-] catties of grain per mu is a lot, but what I want to tell you is that if you spend the rent of [-] catties of grain, you will be paid a lot of money by the autumn harvest." At that time, at least it can bring you at least [-] catties of increased grain income!"

Uncle Zhou, who has the most farming experience in the village, stood up and retorted: "Young student, you are bragging when you say this. Using plowing oxen to plow the field because it is deep plowing can indeed increase grain production, but if you want to increase the yield by seventy to eighty catties per mu, then Totally impossible!"

Director Wang smiled and replied: "Uncle, you are right. It is indeed impossible to increase the grain income by [-] to [-] catties per mu of land. However, Uncle, you have overlooked another thing. Using oxen to plow the land saves time and effort, which can save a lot of money." artificially come out!"

"We usually rely on labor to plow the fields. It is already a lot for a family to take care of five acres of land. But with the help of farming cattle, at least eight acres of land can be served, which will increase the output of three acres of land and reduce the rent. Cattle rents can easily increase the income by four or five hundred catties a year..."

"Uncle, you must have been farming for decades. You know many things better than me. I don't know if what I said is true!"

Uncle Zhou didn't speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

The others also calmed down at this time, silently calculating Officer Wang's analysis just now.

After almost 5 minutes, Uncle Zhou said: "But, junior, we don't have that much land at all!"

"In our Zhonggu Village, those with few families have four acres of land, and those with many people have six acres of land. This land can be taken care of by manpower alone. There is no need to rent cattle!"

Officer Wang knew that Uncle Zhou was moved, and immediately replied: "There is no ready-made land, but we can cultivate it ourselves!"

"There is still a lot of time before spring plowing. Apart from composting, everyone can use the rest of the time to reclaim wasteland. The county government means that as long as the mountains and forests are not destroyed, no matter the old, weak, women or children, everyone is allowed to have two acres of land. Every household can reclaim as much as they want!"

As soon as Uncle Zhou's eyes lit up, an eager expression appeared on his face, then he stared at Officer Wang and asked.

"Can the county government guarantee that there will be cattle that can be rented to us during spring plowing?"

"It can be guaranteed... the company established in the border area has already gone to Shanxi to buy cattle and lambs!" Officer Wang affirmed, then changed the subject and continued.

"Besides, even if there is no farming cattle to lease to everyone, we will not suffer. After all, as long as the reclaimed land does not exceed the standards set by the government, it is our private property and no one can touch it. !"

"This young man is right. Our farmer has nothing but strength. Starting tomorrow, I will fertilize the fertilizer first. After finishing, I will take my wife and children to reclaim wasteland. I will strive to reclaim three acres of land before spring plowing. When the time comes, I will Old Zhou's family has five acres of land!"

After Uncle Zhou opened his mouth, many people chose to believe it, and clamored to reclaim the wasteland, when the time came, they would rent cattle to plow the fields!

Of course, there are also some ordinary people who choose not to take risks and continue to farm in the old way.

Officer Wang is not easy to force, after all, everyone has the right to choose.And he also believes that after the autumn harvest is over, seeing other people's income, these people will definitely offer to join in, and no one wants to live a good life.

At this time, Director Wang continued: "The next step is to raise sheep!"

The company established by the border area government will purchase a large number of cattle and goats at the same time. After the spring plowing is over, as long as they want, each household can take home two lambs, one male and one female, to raise. Years from now, these lambs will definitely give birth. At that time, the company will give you two choices: return all the grown goats and lambs to the company after receiving a reward of two oceans, or accept two lambs as a reward. Pay, and return the other goats to the company! "

"Of course, after one year is over, if you still want to continue breeding, you can continue to sign a breeding contract with the company, and the remuneration will remain the same!"

"In addition, if something goes wrong with the goats during the breeding process, everyone must pay the price of one lamb per ocean!"
