Chapter 1831 Unchanging Human Nature
After this meal, the relationship between Zhou Zhi and Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao suddenly became much closer.
Zhou Zhi actually has a lot of problems, but he has a special "charm" that makes it easier for people to get close to him.
However, the price of a good relationship is that both Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao got drunk by Lao Chiri and Tu Liangzhi, and they will not be able to return to the base today.
But it’s okay if you don’t go back. These two people will still be useful when we dismantle the base station tomorrow.
After throwing the drunken two people into several reception rooms at the grain station, Zhou Zhi began to ask everyone about the changes in the countryside during this period.
And everyone also needs to understand from him the external repercussions of these industries he has created.
After chatting with everyone, Zhou Zhi learned that the reason why the two buildings of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences were erected so quickly was because the buildings in Daliang Mountain have high seismic resistance requirements, so they adopted a cast-in-place structure and first poured it with reinforced concrete. Large frame, then seal the wall and install window and door frames.
This method is much faster than the previous construction method, and the team of workers organized by Tu Liangzhi is very cheap, allowing the construction company to recruit people freely. In addition to the main labor force in Lianhe Township, all the laborers have joined in. In addition to the projects of tying steel bars and iron wires, carrying cement, and digging earth, even the neighboring Jiukou Township has hired a lot of people.
With sufficient manpower and timely funding, the house was repaired quickly. In two months, not only the main buildings of the two bases, which only had the bottom foundations when Zhou Zhi left, were built, but also the seedling bases surrounding the buildings. It has also been opened up.
Now is the dormant period of the saplings. The climate in Lianhe Township is very good. You only need a blanket to survive the winter. Therefore, the seedlings still need to be replenished with fertilizer. After they rest in autumn and winter, they can be propagated next spring. .
So since the beginning of road construction, various projects in Lianhe Township have not stopped. Basically, the villagers have made money. When they have money, they start to have ideas. Those who raise chickens and pigs , the number of sheep farmers gradually began to increase in the village.
The pig farm and chicken farm that Zhou Zhi commissioned from Gilliam Abi some time ago have just reached the seedling stage, and the two places finally made their first pot of gold.
Of course this little seedling was not enough. Lao Chiri also went out for a run and organized a batch of "supplies" to come back.
With roads and tractors, it is much easier to get in and out now. More and more villagers come to the grain station to sell millet, thresh rice, sell rapeseed, and change oil. Rice bran and rapeseed cakes from chicken farms and pig farms , anyway, it seems that there will be no shortage in the short term.
There is also wine. In the past, it was difficult to make wine with corn because corn germ was too rich in oil and protein. Although the wine produced was strong, it had a "watery" smell.
Now that there is a machine, it no longer exists. First, remove the germ from the corn, beat the remaining starch part into corn crumbs, and mix it with sorghum, buckwheat, etc. in proportion, you can brew a brew with higher alcohol content and higher quality. Here comes the pure liquor.
This kind of small brewing equipment Jiachuan is available in almost every village, and the related brewing technology is also very mature. Zhou Zhi asked Brother Dayong to send two masters to guide him, and Lao Chiri soon mastered the technology. .
Corn germ and distiller's grains are excellent feed additives. Rock Eagle chickens have never had such treatment before. Now that the breeding conditions have improved and the feeding methods have become scientific, their advantages have come into play. , Either Hu Hu Hu lays eggs, or Hu Hu grows meat.
Less than half a year after the chicken farm was built, it has expanded to hundreds of chickens, and it only takes a month or two for the chicken farm to reach a thousand. There are a few more Yanan black pigs in the pig farm. According to Zhou Zhi's instructions, Gillette Abi will build the grain station pig farm into a breeding pig farm. The task in the next few years will be to provide piglets for the surrounding farms. Starting now With demand, it has become inevitable for this pig farm to make money.
With animal husbandry, feed must keep up. When Zhou Zhi asked comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide the work, he selected two types of forage - plateau wild rice and ryegrass.
In addition to providing forage, these two kinds of grass also have the functions of fertilizing soil, fixing nitrogen, and preventing soil erosion. This year, the effect is very obvious. Lao Chiri is concerned about the "collapse of soil" in the rainy season, which is water and soil erosion. The phenomenon has been significantly reduced on several hillsides planted with pasture.
And another unexpected effect of wild rice seeds and ryegrass is that the seeds are collected by the Yi people and used to brew "pole wine", which tastes much better than the original pole wine.
Only then did Zhou Zhi realize. It seemed that rye had always been a material used to brew beer in Europe, but he had never followed the name in the past.
After harvesting so much forage, storage is actually problematic. The traditional method is to dry it into hay and then store it.
However, comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences brought a new technology - Qingzhu.
Green storage is to mix fresh grass with ammonia and fermentation bacteria and put it into the cellar for storage. Fermentation technology is used to maintain a low-oxygen environment to ensure the freshness of the green material stored in the cellar. At the same time, nutrients are transformed during the slow fermentation process. More conducive to the absorption of livestock.
The only limitation is that if you want to store it in a cellar, you must first have a cellar.
Zhou Zhi recalled the experience of her aunt who transformed the winery pit into a sauerkraut storage tank when she was in her hometown. She happened to be helping the villagers renovate the bathroom, and there was a reserved pigsty next to it. It’s just a thing Put the ready-made frame with a large piece of complete plastic sheet, put the mixed green material into it, turn over the excess plastic sheet and cover the green material, cover it with soil and press it tightly. It is a simple but very practical Even if the green storage warehouse is completed.
Zhou Zhi and Tu Liangzhi originally agreed that they would still have to pay rent if they used the pig pens of fellow villagers when collecting green reserves. As a result, no fellow villagers were willing to accept the money.
It is said that "poverty breeds treachery, wealth breeds conscience", but although Lianhe Township is poor, it still has a sense of loyalty to its "insiders". The fellow villagers feel that these changes are brought about by Zhou Zhou. If you collect money, you don't have to live in Lianhe Township. This simple view of right and wrong moved Zhou Zhi very much.
These things were all done during Zhou Zhi’s absence. With the opportunity to earn an income, the villagers were very motivated. This did not surprise Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong, who came from other places. , even natives like Tu Liangzhi and Jike Azi were surprised.
Sometimes they feel very ashamed, thinking that the people in their hometown have some problems, such as being lazy, muddling along, and exchanging money for alcohol and waste. None of the various poverty alleviation projects arranged by the above can succeed. The incident of eating piglets for poverty alleviation even made township cadres always made fun of when they went out to meetings, and they felt like they were inferior to others in the meeting hall.
Until Zhou Zhi came, on the first day he came here, Zhou Zhi instilled a concept into Tu Liangzhi. There was an official in the Song Dynasty who wrote a memorial to the imperial court on how to treat the ethnic minorities in Jisu area. The principles inside are very clear and clear.
He believed that the country should treat the ethnic minorities in Jizhou equally, strictly review local officials' behavior of bullying ethnic minorities and provoking border troubles, and distinguish the people of Jizhou from the ethnic minority regimes of enemy countries.
His reason is very simple. Although the Han people and the ethnic minorities in Jisi Prefecture look different in terms of farming methods, lifestyles, clothing, food, housing and transportation, they like stability, hate conscription, and love their families. Loving one's parents and children is the same nature no matter which nation one belongs to, and belongs to unchanging human nature.
