happy apocalypse

Chapter 172

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, everyone at the table became silent.

Jiang Zhi went on to say: "These water storage measures in our family this year can be used for reference by everyone. If we take proper precautions, we should have no problem getting through the scorching heat."

"Brother Jiang is still very interesting. I will go to your house to study tomorrow, and I will teach everyone the skills I have learned." Chen Ming said loudly.

I listened to it, very contemptuous.He still went to our house to study and study. I think he wanted to go to eat in a fair and honest way. The cement water storage pit in our house has no technical content, so there is nothing to learn, really.

Chen Ming's father couldn't see his unsteady appearance, so he slapped him on the head with a slap, and he slapped away the arrogance that he just wanted to raise.

Then Zhang Fanyu's father seemed uncomfortable and asked Jiang Zhi: "Jiang Zhi, I have a question for you. I wonder if I should ask it?"

Jiang Zhi looked at Mr. Zhang and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, just tell me if you have something to do, there is nothing wrong with asking."

"Well, I want to ask you, can the whole village grow early rice with you next year? Can you pass on your early rice technology to our villagers?" He wasn't talking about himself, nor was he sitting here. Not everyone, but the whole village.

"I am a native of our village. I have lived at the foot of this mountain since I was a child and have never left, so I am very nostalgic for everything here, whether it is the mountain, the water, the land, the house, or the people. I hope they are well. If I am full, I will not be happy when I see the villagers are hungry. So I want to let outsiders know, then our village will learn and we will be full. Already." Mr. Zhang said quite emotionally.

"Uncle Zhang, what do you mean? We have no right to control whether everyone grows early rice or not. It is not invented by our family. Anyone who wants to grow it can grow it." Jiang Zhi still smiled.

Mr. Zhang's expression darkened when he heard Jiang Zhi's obviously perfunctory words, thinking that we didn't want to teach others the technology.

Zhang Fanyu added next to him: "Brother Jiang, what my dad wants is if we can teach everyone the technology when raising seedlings next year, or those of us who haven't planted early rice before, I'm afraid we will ruin the rice seeds."

"Actually, we don't have any special techniques for growing early rice. It's not because we have reservations. It's because we really don't have any techniques. It's just that we fiddled with it. We didn't expect it to be planted. We analyzed it later, and it may be what we used. The seeds are good. When I was in the city, I asked someone to get them out of the research institute. There are only those in total. Last year, I used up that kind of seeds, so I can only use newly planted rice this year. This is it I don't know the output of the second generation, and I can't guarantee that it will be successful.

To tell the truth, Uncle Zhang, when I first became the village head, I discussed with a few old people in my family, and I wanted to let everyone plant early rice with my family next year, but my dad reminded me that this matter should not be careless or hasty. , otherwise it will cause everyone to have nothing to eat. "Jiang Zhi said.

This is what we discussed at home. Our rice harvest is considered to be bumper this year, so someone will definitely plant early rice with us. But when we were raising seedlings, we used some space and stream water. I tried it several times, but I was still worried that the seedlings would not come out, or the seedlings would not come out well, so Jiang Zhi first explained the situation clearly. If you still want to follow along, then we will provide seeds. Of course, we still provide seeds produced in space.

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, everyone was silent again. You must know that this is the most important issue now, and everyone has to think carefully before making a decision.

"Dad, I want to try with Brother Jiang." Zhang Fanyu was silent for a while, then said in front of everyone.

Father Zhang was silent for a while and said, "Okay, let's try it next year. If it doesn't work, it's okay, just order a variety of sweet potatoes. Didn't Jiang Zhi say that our sweet potatoes are crunchy and sweet?"

Father Zhang remembered what Jiang Zhi had said to that government official named Yuan Quan.

Zhang's father's words immediately got everyone's approval, and they all expressed that next year they will follow our family to plant early rice, and then order sweet potatoes, and prepare with both hands.

Jiang Zhi sees that everyone wants to grow early rice, so there are some things that need to be explained in advance.

"Since everyone wants to grow early rice, our family will provide seeds, but we are not free."

"Of course, no one's food is brought by the strong wind. We definitely can't take you for nothing. If we plant so much land in our village, it will be a seed for all ages. Brother Jiang, tell me, what's the matter?" Algorithm." Qin Hanbin said.

Everyone nodded after listening to his words, and it seemed that they all agreed with his statement. It is true that one mu of paddy fields requires a catty of rice seeds, and the whole village's paddy fields add up to several hundred mu. A hundred catties of grain.It is impossible for anyone to take out these grains for nothing, so it must be bought at a price.

"Everyone knows that our family has had a bumper harvest this year, and the yield per mu is a thousand catties, so we are not short of several hundred catties of grain." Jiang Zhicai said boldly. "But, this can't be given to everyone for nothing. If this precedent is set, things will be difficult in the future."

Everyone nodded after hearing what Jiang Zhi said, expressing their understanding.Giving away other people's things for nothing will cause them to make mistakes.

If our family gave away for nothing this time, it will be difficult for anyone who wants to sell rice seeds next time, including ourselves of course.Everyone will think, last time you gave it away for nothing, why can't you be more generous this time, why do you ask for more money.If you don't say anything else, you will definitely say some bad things. This can completely avoid troubles, and there is no need for us to get angry.

"Our family has enough food, so we want to exchange seeds for rice stalks. What do you think?" Jiang Zhi continued.

"What do you mean?" Sun Jun asked with some confusion.

Everyone also looked at Jiang Zhi with piercing eyes, waiting for his explanation.

"Haha, no matter how big the land is, we will provide the seeds. After the autumn harvest, all the rice stalks in the field will be sent to our family." Jiang Zhi said with a smile.

"What are you doing with so many rice stalks at home?" Qin's father asked without knowing why.

What a huge pile of rice stalks on hundreds of acres of land. They don't understand what we need so many rice stalks instead of grain.

"Rice stalks are a good thing, and they are very useful. My daughter-in-law was moved when she saw these pigs raised by Sun Jun's family today. She thinks that she will raise a few pigs next year if she can. The rice stalks were crushed and mixed with bran. That is the best feed now. And our cattle and sheep are foodies, and they will give birth next year. This year’s feed is old. Isn’t there a saying in our countryside, The farmer has a single flower, all relying on manure, and now there is no place to buy chemical fertilizers, so we can only use farmyard manure, and the rice stalks can be used as fertilizer after fermentation.” Jiang Zhi told them the same, of course the most important use It is to make organic carbon, which is the main material for heating our house in winter.

"This is a good way. The rice stalks that everyone took back are useless. Except for your family, no one else in the village raises large animals. The rice stalks are taken back for fire. They don't carry them for burning, and there are few of them. The ashes will fill the stove, and if there is firewood at home, I will never use rice straws." Zhang Fanyu said.

The people in Tashan Village used to be used to burning wood, but now that the forest farm is yellow and Jiang Zhi does not allow logging, everyone can pick up arm-thick branches everywhere on the mountain, so everyone does not hesitate to burn rice stalks. Just use a little when starting a fire.

"If everyone thinks this method works, then I will announce with a loudspeaker in two days to see how many people in our village want to grow early rice, and how many people agree to this method. Also count how many people have rice at home. Let’s see how we can plant all the paddy fields in our village.” Jiang Zhi said.

Seedlings must be raised in greenhouses, so we must first count how many there are, how big they are, and how many acres of seedlings can be planted.Then you can make arrangements.

"Okay, we've finished discussing major issues, and everyone's hearts are in your stomachs. Everyone, let's eat quickly. This dish will be cold in a while, so it will be a waste of good dishes on this table. As for other things, we will I believe that our village head will definitely lead our villagers to the Kangzhuang Avenue where we have enough food and clothing.” Sun Jun saw that everyone was talking about the same, so he made a concluding speech, and then raised his wine glass to everyone.

At noon that day, these people had a meat meal at Sun Jun's house, and they all went home with their mouths full of greasy food.After we got home, we also told our family what everyone said at the dinner table. Dad Jiang and Dad Qu didn’t express any objection. Now they just throw themselves into the shed in the backyard and get in whenever they have time every day, tending vegetables What.

Seeing that the weather outside is not too cold, the snow has just fallen, and everyone can still come out for activities. I thought I should tell everyone about it at this time. If anyone wants to grow early rice, it is better to take advantage of it Good day, come to the house to sign up.

Early the next morning, Jiang Zhi went to the village committee and used a loudspeaker to inform all the villagers about planting early rice next year.

There are two main points. The first is that this matter is completely voluntary. If someone does not want to grow early rice, it is completely okay. Jiang Zhi emphasized that this is absolutely not mandatory.The second Jiang Zhi emphasized the risk of planting early rice. Don’t look at our family’s bumper harvest this year and think that next year’s planting will also have a bumper harvest. You must know that the planting environment and seeds are different, so we cannot guarantee next year’s harvest. It must be good, this is up to the villagers to make their own choices, this is like a gamble, God is the banker, no one knows what the result will be.

We thought it was a simple matter, but on the day the announcement was broadcast, someone came to our door.
