Chapter 849 Progress
After a while, after several people finished eating, they returned to the arranged residence to rest.
Wang Huzi and Yang Xiaotao went to Ma Sanxing to discuss tomorrow's work arrangements.
As the owner of the farm, Ma Sanxing naturally arranged the farm work properly. After explaining the arrangements, Wang Huzi nodded.
Yang Xiaotao has nothing to say. After all, he has been a farmer for many years and is much better than them in the knowledge of farming.
"Director, last time I left the saline-alkali land that Director Gao asked you to repair, how are you doing here?"
Yang Xiaotao thought of business, and Wang Huzi also looked over.
Ma Sanxing nodded when he heard the words, "We have prepared what Director Gao told us early in the morning, but there are too many saline-alkali lands there, so we chose a place close to it, which is also convenient for irrigation and transportation."
< br>Although Ma Sanxing didn't understand why such a piece of land was needed, Director Gao was right.
“Great.”
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then pointed to the two bags of corn he brought and told the story.
Ma Sanxing opened his mouth wide. If Wang Huzi hadn't been holding the crowd aside, he would have spit out a question.
And now, with a chief and a teacher here, it doesn’t look like a joke.
After Yang Xiaotao and Wang Huzi returned to the house to rest, Ma Sanxing picked up the corn and looked at it carefully near the kerosene lamp.
“Blood Jade?”
"Corn watered with hard work?"
"What a nice name!"
The next day, it was dawn.
Yang Xiaotao got up and tidied up. After getting ready, he went out and walked outside the farm.
Behind me, Mazi saw him coming.
"Mazi, take me to see them."
Yang Xiaotao said seriously before Mazi could speak.
Mazi didn't say much when he saw this, he just nodded and led the way.
Soon the two came to the hillside on the west side of the farm.
Every grave is surrounded by green grass, and the names on the wooden signs erected in front of the graves are a little vague.
"I can't wait any longer. Let's get them a stone."
Mazi said at the side, but Yang Xiaotao didn't reply.
Took out the cigarettes from his pocket, put three cigarettes in his mouth, lit them one by one, then picked up the soil on the ground and inserted them one by one.
Squatting on the ground, Yang Xiaotao looked at the name on the wooden sign, his eyes a little blurry.
Finally, he took out two seeds from his pocket and planted them in front of the graves of Lao Ma and Xiao Gao.
"Let's go!"
From beginning to end, Yang Xiaotao didn't speak, but Mazi felt that Yang Xiaotao said a lot in his heart.
Back at the farm, everyone has begun to work.
Breakfast has been prepared at the farm. Each person holds a steamed bun with pickles to chew on, and then each person has a kettle. The eldest lady who is cooking is still busy.
We had lunch on the ground, no one came back to cook.
So basically they are brought there.
Yang Xiaotao took the wowotou and gnawed on it. This kind of whole grain is harsh on the throat, but it is the only breakfast.
Under the awning on the side, ten tractors are adding water and coal under the operation of a few young people. These tractor drivers are all selected elites and are the envy of the farm people.
To put it bluntly, a single guy who drives a tractor is definitely a hot commodity among the girls around here.
Yang Xiaotao took a look at it. Although the exterior of the tractor was very clean and even the mud on the tires was wiped, Yang Xiaotao frowned after hearing the noise.
The sound of the steam engine on the tractor was obviously wrong, and it was very different from the sound of the steel rolling mill leaving the factory.
Yang Xiaotao knows that this is due to the lack of effective cleaning of the steam engine. After all, the water contains a lot of calcium ions. If it is not cleaned for a long time, scale will form inside.
At that time, tractors would come with a maintenance manual when they left the factory, but now it seems that it was probably thrown into the toilet.
"Teacher Yang, Chief Wang is looking for you."
Yang Xiaotao was about to step forward and say a few words to ask them to repair the tractor. Xiao Wu ran over and Yang Xiaotao could only tell the matter. Your Excellency, then the two men came to the house.
"Chief, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Yang, you came just in time, I have to go back to handle some matters."
"While I am away, this breeding work is up to you. Full support. Everyone here is at your disposal."
Wang Huzi was a little eager and spoke quickly.
Yang Xiaotao did not refuse, "Don't worry, leader, I know what to do!"
"Okay!"
"Director of the racecourse, you must fully cooperate with Comrade Yang Xiaotao's work and complete the spring plowing matters as soon as possible."
"Yes, chief, please rest assured and ensure that the task is completed."
After saying that, Wang Huzi said a few more words, got into the car, and left quickly.
After Yang Xiaotao saw off Wang Huzi, he summoned the farm's principals and the four people they brought, in addition to the students he had brought with him last time, and the backbone of the farm.
These people will be divided into ten groups and go to various farms to provide technical guidance.
"Everyone knows the importance of this mission, so I won't say it anymore."
"Now let me announce the work discipline. During the spring plowing period, no one is allowed to be careless and must obey the instructions. , those who violate discipline will be dealt with strictly. ”
“ The leaders of each group strictly control the corn grain and are not allowed to act without permission."
Yang Xiaotao took precautions in advance. After all, with so much corn planting, any mistakes would be disastrous, and this would be disastrous. Secondary breeding is related to future arrangements, so we have to be careful.
"Director of the racecourse, you and Comrade Hou Lijing are responsible for the registration of fine breeds here in the warehouse."
"This time, the records will be separated according to the parent's book. The male parent will be marked in red on the bag, and the female parent will be marked in black. This includes sowing. baskets, dustpans, etc. , must be marked.”
“It must be of the same color, and resolutely avoid the intersection of different colors.”
“Everyone has heard clearly, remember the colors they represent, and they cannot be displayed. Error." Someone below has already started recording.
"At the same time, sowing must be carried out strictly in accordance with the three-to-one arrangement. If you have any special circumstances, please report to me. And each row of male parents must be marked in front of the field."
Yang Xiaotao kept emphasizing, and the bottom was seriously The horse farm director and Mazi who were listening looked at each other and said, "This teacher Yang is more strict than Director Gao." '
"In addition, at the end of each farming session, you must collect all the two species, bag them, and transport them back."
"Comrade Ma Sanxing and Comrade Hou Lijing are responsible for the inventory. Make a mark at the same time and continue to collect it the next day.”
“Let’s allocate people.”
Yang Xiaotao looked at the names in the book and began to assign them randomly.
Basically, there are three technicians in the ten surrounding farms. In addition to the four people who came with them, except Hou Lijing, who is responsible for the distribution of improved seeds, the remaining three are each responsible for three farms. As for Ma Sanhang, there are already Having planted it once, I feel at ease with the experience.
Later, Yang Xiaotao specifically gave instructions and gave everyone a reassurance that as long as the planting was distributed as required, there would be no problem.
Everyone left with apprehension and started the first day of work.
After a while, after Yang Xiaotao announced the start, everyone left and started busy.
7:30 am.
Outside the farm, on the cultivated land.
The farm divides the cultivated land into small areas. Each area has a tractor, and then allocates about ten people. Yang Xiaotao arranges a trainee in each area to guide the sowing of grain seeds.
A row of tractors was already smoking, and the farmers who had been prepared had loaded the pears and started to plow a furrow in the ground.
If there is chemical fertilizer, the first ditch should be opened on the front, the soil should be turned over, and then chemical fertilizer should be sprinkled.
Then go back and forth, using pear to cover the ditch with soil. The soil turned out on both sides just forms a ridge, so that corn can be planted on it.
But now there is no chemical fertilizer at all, so the first ditch is to plow the soil on one side. When the car is turned around and returned, the plowed soil is combined to form a soil ridge.
When the ridges were piled up, people stepped on them with their bare feet to create footwells. Then some people carried wooden buckets and poured water into them with ladles. There were also people behind who filled the corn in various containers. , put down three or two grains of corn, and then someone buried the foot sockets firmly with bare feet and hands behind their backs.
In this way, a row of corn is planted.
Of course, compared with later generations, we still save a few steps. Weed spraying, mulching, etc. can effectively control the growth of weeds.
It's just that these processes that can increase production and save manpower are omitted for technical reasons.
The only way to deal with it is to use human power to weed.
The people on the farm farm according to experience, but this time in order to pursue more breeding, these people require that only one kernel of corn can be placed in each footwell.
No way, good varieties are limited.
For this reason, Yang Xiaotao also asked Xiaowei to check the seeds in the warehouse and try to ensure that every seed would germinate.
Seeing that the work was already underway, Yang Xiaotao checked the situation in the fields.
When it comes to agricultural production, how to work and how to arrange it, these people are better than Yang Xiaotao.
So Yang Xiaotao only needs to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the corn planted.
Of course, this is not the only place where construction started today. Yang Xiaotao looked at the field for a while, then rode horses to another farm with Mazi and Wang Hao.
Arrived outside the farm, farming also begins here.
The tractor is running, and there is a busy scene in the field.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaotao remembered the scene of pulling a plow in Yangjiazhuang.
At that time, there was only one donkey in the village, and most of the farming work had to be done by people, so manpower was needed to pull the plow.
Later there were oxen, mules, and now tractors.
The power of machines makes farming precise, simple and easy.
Increased productivity frees up more people to do more.
If the times want to progress, there will be more machines.
Thinking in his heart, Yang Xiaotao rode on his horse and focused his eyes on the busy farmers.
It was just raising the soil ridges, and the person in charge of technical guidance was explaining it to the farm management. Yang Xiaotao listened for a while, and after finding that there was no problem, he watched from the side.
After the farm staff started planting as required, Yang Xiaotao looked for a while and saw that there was no problem, then rode his horse and rushed to the next place.
Throughout the morning, Yang Xiaotao visited ten farms.
Some problems were also found, some were forgetting to mark, some were starting work too quickly, too urgently, and the personnel were not properly arranged.
Of course there have been major problems. One of them was when a farm was sowing. Because two bags of corn seeds were left unattended on the car, a naughty kid grabbed a handful of corn seeds and then planted them again. Put it in another bag.
This time, the farm technician was made to cry.
From the outside, they are all the same corn kernels. How do you tell them apart?
When Yang Xiaotao heard the news and rushed over, he saw a half-grown boy being educated by an old man with a stick. The spanking was firm on the buttocks.
The child did not dare to cry, let alone hide, he could only suffer.
When Yang Xiaotao arrived, the technician was holding a bag with red male parent corn on it.
There was no other way, so Yang Xiaotao had to write a note to the technician and go to the farm to get another bag. As for this bag, he could only take it back and make it into tortillas.
After this incident, technicians from various farms no longer dare to be careless and keep grain bags under their noses at all times.
Those dishonest boys in the family were also given stern warnings by their ears, causing many naughty children to restrain their restless little hands.
So, everyone spent the first day cautiously.
After this day, it means that a way has been found.
Actually, it’s a lot to say, but once they find the direction, this group of ‘agricultural experts’ will quickly understand the secrets and get into the zone.
That night, Yang Xiaotao sent the bag of corn to the warehouse and handed it to Ma Sanhang.
Of course Ma Sanxing knew what was going on with the bag. What surprised him was that Yang Xiaotao could distinguish between the two types of corn?
‘As expected of Teacher Yang. ’
What he didn’t know was that with Xiaowei’s energy induction, distinguishing the two types of corn was a piece of cake.
The same thing happened the next day. At least Yang Xiaotao and the other three kept shuttling between the various farms, solving problems when they encountered them, and supervising and inspecting the planting situation.
After two days of hard work, the farm work is on the right track, and the farmers are tightening their hearts and intend to finish the work in one go.
