Chapter 1681 Chicken Farm
The reason for success is still so simple, because it is located in a valley. When there is water in the mountains, all the saplings and trees are washed into the valley. In addition, there is a barrier to avoid strong winds, and the bottom of the valley The water source was better preserved than on the ridge, and pine forests first grew up in the most open part of the valley behind Lianhe Township.
Then along the valley, the pine forest began to tenaciously expand upwards along the valley year after year, and now has put a huge bright green paw print on the red mountain.
This is thousands of acres of excellent regenerated forest.
The land on the ground has been covered with thick pine needles, which has effectively reduced the loss of surface soil. However, the aging effect of pine needles is average, and the nutrients on the ground are very thin, resulting in the vegetation in the mountains being relatively single.
Along the way, the most common plants Zhou Zhi saw were vines and ferns. Among the vines, there were Milla vine, kudzu, Polygonum multiflorum, yam, and many other plants that Zhou Zhi didn't recognize, but Da Bimo thought were good medicinal plants.
The ferns are even very simple. After careful identification, I found three or five kinds, the most common of which are the ones used to make bracken.
Bracken is now in its peak production period. Places with slightly better light are full of fat fern buds, all over the mountains and fields. It can be said to be inexhaustible.
"Do you regret it?" Lao Chi saw Zhou Zhi looking at a mountain of bracken in a daze, and couldn't help but smile: "You promised the children, you will harvest as much bracken as you can, but now you have found a penny. It’s not worth it. Do you regret it?”
“Not at all. "Yes." Zhou Zhi didn't regret it: "This thing can be harvested for two or three weeks at most, and it will get old after that. I was wondering if we could mobilize the whole township to harvest it in these few weeks. Expanding the scale will allow for larger shipments.”
"Come on." Tu Liangzhi was holding a wooden stick in front of him to drive away the non-existent poisonous snakes. After hearing this, he quickly stopped: "This is the time for farming, and everyone is picking bracken. Who can plant it?" Potatoes? We can’t lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds!”
“Can we develop some pasture cultivation?” Zhou Then I had an idea again: "Then we can raise the sheep in pens like chickens?"
"The sheep chew the grass too much and dig up the roots. This is too detrimental to the restoration of the soil and water. As people raise sheep, the number of sheep increases. As more and more people come, more and more grassy mountains are needed, which creates a conflict between industrial development and nature protection. If we don’t solve it, small conflicts will grow from small to big in the future, and eventually turn into irreconcilable disasters.”
“Planting grass?” Lao Chiri felt that this question was a bit out of line: “Old ancestor. People haven’t planted grass in thousands of years. Let’s not even think about whether this work is feasible or not. We don’t know how to do it!”
“Old ancestors! I never thought that thousands of years later our mountains would be bald, the water would be muddy, and sheep would be short of fodder," Zhou Zhi said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "So this is a new situation and a new problem that cannot be solved by relying on past experience. That kind of thing, we should trouble Renzhong and ask him to go to the Autonomous Prefecture Agriculture Bureau to find information.”
"Just wait until the phone goes through." Shama Ricong was quite pleased with the scenery of the big pine forest, especially since there are already many squirrels, birds, and pheasants in the mountains. The air is good and the pine feathers are soft underfoot. He was so soft and comfortable, and said: "When the time comes, I can help you find information in the state. There are classmates in the Agricultural Bureau."
"You are still awesome. Tu Liangzhi said in distress: "He called us as soon as he returned to the prefecture. At the last meeting, he told us that the line only goes to Jiukou Township and not to Lianhe Township. I asked the county magistrate. After talking about it for a long time, I didn’t say anything softly.”
“In fact, when you don’t need to communicate with the outside world, the walkie-talkie brought by your elbow is very useful,” Lao Chiri said with a smile.
Now he often wears a walkie-talkie in his waist, a tape recorder and a video camera in his hand, and goes to the surrounding countryside to interview other Bimo. In fact, Zhou Zhi thinks that the old man is just showing off, but the old man says that Bimo has never been When one person accomplishes something, it is always a matter of teamwork.
Recall the status and responsibilities of Bimo in the social life of the Yi people. This is an "intellectual class", whether it is defined according to the Western tradition, the Eastern tradition, or the Marxist-Leninist system. By definition, neither is an independent class, but is a class that relies on the ruling class to function. So from this perspective, what Lao Chiri said is really right. To put it nicely, he is called "Emperor Master", but to put it badly, it can be said to be "the scholar failed to rebel for three years."
“Actually, we still have a satellite phone line now.” Zhou Zhi was a bit dumbfounded: “But it’s not very convenient to contact us. It’s easier to call overseas than domestic, and it’s easier to surf the Internet than talk, so we’d better get through it as soon as possible. The phone is better.”
“Well, in the words of political textbooks, this means that production relations are ahead of productivity.” Azi held up a piece of Millipede. Making a whip: "Is it Brother Elbow?"
"Absolutely." Zhou Zhi couldn't say that the satellite phone was at best a production tool, so he could only vaguely say: "Policy decisions must be based on local conditions and pay attention to the problem of acclimatization, otherwise It will happen that the suckling pigs for poverty alleviation were eaten by the villagers.”
“Here we are, what do you think of the elbow?”
In fact, everyone didn't go very far before they came to a relatively flat land. It seemed to be a platform, but it looked like a former foundation.
There is a ditch in front of the foundation, but it has dried up now. Behind it is a red soil "wall" with a relatively steep slope. After climbing up, it becomes a gentle hillside.
There are two or three acres of flat land between the two. It is simply a place made in heaven, overlooking the grain station below.
"This place is great." Zhou Zhi said: "How did this place come to be? It doesn't look natural."
"It was a long time ago that the Tusi Tower below was built. At that time, it was excavated from the soil," Lao Chiri said: "At that time, the Tusi Building used mud bricks, and this was actually a mud brick yard."
"If you want to build a chicken farm, just surround it on three sides, then build a waterproof shed on the earth wall, dig some holes in the earth wall, and stuff some buckwheat straws into it to make a chicken coop." Gilead Bi said pointing to the earth wall opposite.
"Is it that simple?" Zhou Zhi was surprised: "This is a bit like opening a cave dwelling."
"This is already complicated." Gilliam Abi said: "Otherwise It’s okay to set up a straw shed in the middle of the chicken farm and pile up haystacks in the middle. Our Yi family’s Yanying chickens are not as expensive as the chickens outside. In the early days, they were even raised in the mountains and were left to find their own food.” < br>
"Then what's the difference between this and pheasants?" Zhou Zhi heard it strangely: "They will come back if they are released?"
"Yes." Gilead Abi thought Zhou Zhi's The idea is very strange: "A cat can remember a thousand, a dog can remember ten thousand, and a chicken can only remember two and a half miles. As long as the nest is built well, they will go out during the day and come back at night to jump on the branches and spend the night."
"It seems that many of the previous breeding habits have changed." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "We basically don't have any free-range chickens there anymore. They are all raised in pens. The difference is just a big one and a small one."< br>
