Chapter 136: The Predecessors Plant Trees and the Descendants Enjoy the Shade
"I've asked him a few times, and I've told him about building dams and diversion canals. This kid is very stubborn, and he also came to the scene to watch. Or insist that we follow the planning drawings and construction drawings for construction. He assured that he had a solution to the water problem. Qi Zhengming didn't understand his son's matter, and said helplessly.
"Repair it, it's not a big project, we'll see it before the Spring Festival. When there is no water, it should be considered to buy him a lesson. Wang Wenxin said with a wry smile.
Seeing that several village committee cadres were not interested in looking at the useless dam, Qi Zhengming accompanied them to see the reservoirs built on the slopes of the mountain.
These cisterns were specially sent by Qi Jingtao, using a special woven material to make spherical cisterns. The inner diameter of each ball is 2 meters, which can be folded and easy to carry. Just dig a big pit on the hillside with an excavator, bury the round sphere in the pit and fill it from the outside.
At the bottom and top of the spherical cistern, there are hard connections for the inlet and outlet connections. Each spherical reservoir can cover up to 10 acres of hillside land.
The granary river project seems to be huge, but in fact it is just a farmland water conservancy project, and there is not much engineering volume when subdivided. Entering the valley through the fork of the external national highway line, there was already a dirt road with a total length of more than six kilometers of one-way streets, which was built along the bottom of the valley to the end of the valley. It is a mountain road for horse-drawn carriages, tractors, and manpower carts that are always available in the countryside.
Now it is necessary to develop the mountain depression inside, after the construction machinery is driven in, it is widened into a two-lane road on the basis of the original road, and the gravel road is paved first, and a gravel road is built, which can pass large trucks in and out of the construction, and then there is time to continue to rebuild.
There is no forest land around the mountain valley, first organize people to make a fire isolation zone, set fire to the wasteland, burn the thatch that has been dry and yellow in winter, and the team can enter the thatched river to start work.
The construction of a dam and a reservoir at the far reaches of the end of the mountain depression is completed by a professional construction unit.
On the slopes of the hills with a slope of 30 degrees on both sides, a large amount of manpower has been invested in development during the period of the People's Commune, and the land on the hillside has long been formed. If it weren't for the lack of water, it wouldn't be barren to this day. The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and Qi Jingtao picked up a big bargain. Now the redevelopment is much simpler, according to the planning map, in batches and blocks to clear the mountain weeds, re-excavation and ploughing the mountain land. This kind of pure farm work is easy to do, just subcontract it to those villagers who are willing to help, and it will not take long for a family to sort out a few acres of land.
The village will work in muddy water, so it will be contracted to build an aqueduct in sections. Wang Wenxin arranged for a professional operation team to be responsible for the construction of four or five hundred earth-shaped reservoirs connecting diversion ditches. The excavator excavates and fills the land, and the excess floating soil is spread in the hillside.
Everything seems complicated, but due to the scientific and reasonable planning and design, detailed construction drawings, effective command, sufficient funds, a large amount of investment in machinery and equipment, and sufficient manpower. Besides, the water conservancy construction work in the mountainous farmland is not a major project, and it is convenient and quick to start the construction, and by the end of January 1997, the basic construction project of the whole granary river was largely completed.
After the power supply line is connected by the power supply station, the granary river and the valley are basically ready, and the fruit tree seedlings can be transplanted and planted after the Spring Festival.
Once again, the people of the village experienced the great scene of thousands of people working together, and saw the speed and energy of sufficient modern machinery and equipment to participate in the construction. The villagers who received the rent and wages in full, and prepared the New Year's goods also felt the abundant funds of the Qi family, and the Qi family and the granary river and the valley also became the focus of the village.
An old man sitting idly under the big cockscomb tree in the village basking in the sun smoked a hookah and sighed: "In the end, the granary river still always asked, lack of water, the college student doll of the Qi family has arranged everything well, why didn't he think about the water source?"
"Yes, it's already been said, after the Spring Festival, we will start transplanting fruit saplings while the farm is slack. Four or five thousand acres of hillside land. How many fruit saplings do you want to plant? The people in the village are busy at home. Another old man responded.
"It's easy to plant a tree, it's nothing more than digging a pit and making base fertilizer, and planting it is done. How do you feed them? Do you hire hundreds of people to water the saplings every day? Do you have so much water in the thatched river?"
"Hehe, the Qi family is rich now, maybe they can use a car to pull water into it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Using a car to pull water into the trees and hiring so many laborers, it is not enough for the Qi family to have a mountain of gold. ”
"Old man Qi, don't you ask your eldest nephew, how can you let that college student in his family mess around. I heard that the dam built with reinforced concrete cost more than 1.5 million. Enough silver to carry a team of horses. An eighty-year-old grandfather asked Qi Shaozeng, who was sitting next to him.
Qi Shaozeng is close to Qi Zhengming's family, and he is the only old man in Shao's generation, and he is also in his eighties. He was squinting at the sun, listening to the other old men chatting, and when he heard the question, he said slowly: "Chen Laoqi, are you still thinking about your horse gang back then? Their family is a champion family, which is definitely different from ordinary people. Don't that heart. I heard Zhengming say that after the fruit tree saplings are transplanted in time, the orchard will have to hire four or five hundred workers all year round. Just like the original fruit tree farm, the workers who receive wages help their families manage the orchard. ”
"Really? Did Zhengming say that the people used in the orchard belong to your Qi family, or are all people from all families invited?"
Qi Shaozeng tilted his head and looked at the old man who spoke with disdain: "Hey, Old Man Kong, how can our Qi family only care about the Qi family? People who can only plant fields and farm the land, and have no way to go out to earn money. Hehe, when you go back, you can take care of the family and have extra labor, both men and women. ”
"Hehehe, that's a good way out, and you don't have to leave home to earn a job. ”
"Hmph, why do you need so many people in the whole orchard? The fruit trees planted this year will take at least three years to bear fruit. Just hire 100 people to water and hoe the weeds, and it doesn't cost you to hire so many people to raise them all year round?"
"Mr. Zhang, do you think it's the same as your original orchard, planting live fruit trees and waiting to harvest the fruits?" said Qi Laoqi disdainfully.
"Qi Laoqi, can you Qi family college students still make flowers?" Zhang Laoqi turned out to be the old cadre in charge of the orchard in the brigade, and the orchards contracted out in the village were all planted by him and led by him. The family now also has an orchard that produces high-quality watertight peaches.
"Hehe, people just want to make a flower for you to see. I saw a picture of the orchard in their house. There's a lot of tricks in there. ”
"Hehe, what a good pattern, hire more people to work, and everyone has more ways to make money......"
