At this time, Marseille, Zhang Yunjiang, Gao Shixun and others sat down in a marching tent on the side of the avenue, which was the place where the traversers rested at the scene, and there was a small stove in it, and a kettle was set up to boil water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although they don't have to work, they also need to command and dispatch back and forth, so running around like this is quite laborious, and they are on the ground that is full of floating soil.

Zhang Yunjiang flipped through his tablet, looked at the photos before the start of construction, and said: "Just ten days ago, this was still a jungle, but now it has become a field, and in a few months, this should be a rich field." ”

Gao Shixun said: "It's not easy to say, I asked Wang Sheng to take the soil samples back to Tianjin for testing, and the equipment brought by the medical team can also be used for soil testing, but now the results have not yet come out, I don't know whether the degree of salinity is high, and the salinization of the land is a very normal phenomenon near the seaside." ”

Marseille immediately asked: "If it is saline, is it impossible to grow grain?" ”

Gao Shixun said: "That's not it, saline-alkali land can also grow grain, grow sweet sorghum or alfalfa, although it can't be used as food for human consumption, but it can be used to make sugar, make wine, make animal feed, make ethanol raw materials, it is also very profitable, and the soil quality can be improved, but it is a little troublesome, and there is basically no hope in the first year." However, from the situation I have mastered, the salinization of the Shandong Peninsula is not too heavy, only Penglai and Dengzhou are larger, and other places are fine, mainly because the water resources in Shandong are quite abundant, which neutralizes the salt in the soil, and I also asked the villagers of Wangjiazhai Village, the yield per mu here is still okay, and from the plants and trees growing in this area, the degree of salinization should not be heavy, so it is estimated that there should be no big problem. Of course, it ultimately depends on the results of the assays. ”

Zhang Yunjiang added: "Cutting down trees and making fields like ours would have been sprayed to death by environmental protection organizations in the old time and space." ”

Marseille laughed and said: "Just cut down a few trees and be sprayed to death, then when we start industrialization, that is called pollution, I just received the news, the executive committee has been preparing to carry out several major projects in Qingdao, and so these projects are successful, Qingdao is estimated to become China's fog capital, which is the price of industrialization." ”

Gao Shixun shook his head and said: "I don't know much about industrialization, I just know how to farm, but no matter whether I engage in industrialization or not, eating is the first thing, if you can't even eat enough, you can't do anything, so in any era, farming is indispensable." ”

Marseille nodded and said, "Yes, our first step is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, followed by the development of industrialization, as for the environment or something, it is a high-level problem, and there is no need to consider it now." ”

When a few people were talking, they saw a few wheelbarrows pushed from the avenue, stopped at the construction site, and the people who pushed the carts stood on the side of the road, shouting: "Folks, eat, eat, let's put down all the work in your hands first, and only when you are full can you work." ”

When the villagers and the captives who were working in the fields heard this, they stopped what they were doing and returned to the side of the road, first lining up to wash their hands in front of the water tank on the side of the road. This is the convenience provided by the traverser to the villagers, using a few discarded oil drums, drilling a small round hole in the bottom, installing a faucet, and then using a few bricks to build a simple stove on the spot, lighting water underneath to keep the water in the bucket warm, which can be used both for drinking and washing hands.

After washing their hands, the villagers came to the car, and the people who pushed the cart distributed food for lunch, while the KPA soldiers who were guarding the place hurried over to maintain order, telling the villagers to line up and not to fight, everyone had it, and sometimes they had to pull out the people who were struggling and teach them a few lessons. On the contrary, it was the German prisoners who came to the line honestly and received their lunches in turn, which seemed to be extremely disciplined.

Whether it is a villager or a captive, you can get two steamed buns and a bun, the size is one size bigger than the old time and space, the stuffing of the bun is made of green vegetables mixed with meat, the steamed bun is added with salt and sesame oil, and it is also mixed with some minced vegetables and diced fish, because the consumption of physical work is very large, and enough protein needs to be supplemented. In addition, each person will receive a bowl of broth and a piece of meat. The villagers and captives who went to the steamed buns and steamed buns went to another car to get the bowl and make soup, and then they sat on the side of the road and ate and drank.

At this moment, only listening to the sound of "sudden and sudden burst", several bulldozers and excavators also drove to the tent side of the avenue, and the traversers driving these machines got out of the car and got into the tent one after another.

Marseille and the others hurriedly got up and beckoned to everyone: "Comrades, everyone has worked hard, hard work, sit, sit, rest, rest, and we will eat immediately." ”

And Zhang Yunjiang also picked up the kettle from the stove and poured water for them.

As Marseille was talking, he saw Liu An walking into the tent with a few people carrying two cauldrons, and said, "Chief, your meal is here." ”

Gao Shi hurriedly beckoned: "Okay, okay, set up the pot on the stove." ”

Liu An immediately asked someone to put a large pot on the stove, which turned out to be a hodgepodge of fish, meat, and green rai, which was full of a strong fragrance, while the other pot was steamed steamed buns and steamed buns. This is a lunch specially prepared for the travelers. The traversers sat down around the cauldron, holding steamed buns or buns in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and ate the hot pot.

Marseille said to Liu An: "Old Liu, you also sit down and eat together." ”

Liu An waved his hand and said, "I've already eaten, chiefs, let's eat, I'll go outside and take a look, don't grab it." ”

Because land reclamation is a group labor, the village committee decided that lunch and dinner will be provided collectively, which can not only save time, but also reduce losses. Of course, lunch and dinner are not free, but are now only paid in advance by the village committee, and after the successful reclamation, they are all spread out in the taxes of each household. Of course, the villagers have no dissatisfaction, they can open up the wasteland because of the help of the traverser, so they can eat and drink for nothing, fortunately, after the successful reclamation, each household can cultivate more fields, and the traverser does not have so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as long as there is no disaster next year, it will still be paid.

The restaurant opened by Liu An and Wang Gui is responsible for making lunch and dinner for the villagers, and they deliver the prepared meals to the work site at noon every day, and the dinner is eaten back to the village.

During this time, Liu An and Wang Gui were very happy, because since the traverser came, the business of the two restaurants has improved a lot, and after the traverser laid down Wangjiazhai, they ordered a few days of meals in their restaurant, so that the two of them made a good profit, and each family earned four or five taels of silver, which was more than the income of the past year. And Liu An also got ten acres of land, although Wang Gui was timid and afraid of things, and did not dare to ask for land, but after clearing the wasteland, he could also get a share of the land, Wang Gui also felt that this result was very good.

Before the land was cleared, Marseille talked to the two of them, and the two of them were responsible for the lunch and dinner of the whole village, and they could not participate in the work of land reclamation, but this time they only counted the cost and did not make money. First, each has its own responsibilities and performs its own duties; second, because of the large amount of food served, although only the cost is counted, not the profit, there will still be some surplus.

In fact, it is not an easy thing to serve the whole village, after all, it is to open a meal for hundreds of people, and it has to be sent to the work site, so the two families are all mobilized, they have to get up before dawn, and they are busy until dark, and they can hardly stop for a moment. However, thinking about the beautiful life after the successful reclamation, almost every day is different when it is when the food is delivered, and the wilderness and jungle gradually turn into fields, and the two families are full of energy.

Liu An came out of the tent, and at this time all the villagers and prisoners had already received their lunch, and Wang Gui was beckoning his wife and two sons to pack up their things, because some of the villagers who had received the lunch first had already finished eating, and put the bowl of broth on the side of the road, and it was only up to them to take it back, and it was the German prisoners who consciously took the initiative to send the bowl back.

At this time, there are a lot of villagers who have finished eating around these engineering machines, looking left and right, although they have worked with these machines for more than ten days, but the villagers are still full of curiosity about these machines, of course, no one has taken these machines as monsters anymore, and many people reach out to touch, and at the same time, there are many discussions, nothing more than "how this thing moves", "what does it eat", "can it do anything else except plowing the ground", "can it farm" and so on.

In fact, not only the villagers, but even the German prisoners who worked here were also full of curiosity about these engineering machines, the German prisoners were no better than the villagers, and the people from the first industrial power of this era did not regard bulldozers and excavators as monsters from the beginning, but knew that this was a kind of machine, but strangely there were no fire doors, boilers, chimneys, and the power came from there.

But a few knowledgeable German soldiers knew that it was supposed to be called a tractor, and it was powered by an internal combustion engine, not a steam engine.

Since the invention of the steam engine, there has been research on the application of the steam engine to agricultural production, replacing human and animal power for farming. In the mid-nineteenth century, Britain, France, the United States and other countries invented the steam-powered tractor. However, because the size and weight of the steam engine are large, it is extremely inconvenient to use, and often requires several people to operate, until the end of the nineteenth century, the United States first manufactured the world's first agricultural tractor powered by an internal combustion engine, and then Britain, France, Germany and other countries almost simultaneously manufactured a tractor powered by an internal combustion engine, which opened the era of agricultural mechanization and production intensification.

However, the internal combustion engine of this era was in its initial stage, and its performance was extremely unstable, and the tractor was still in the trial period.
