0007 Township Road

Qingyuan Mountain is only three or four miles away from the village, looking up from the village, there are mountains on all sides, but the south is even more undulating, and the nearest mountain in the village is Qingyuan Mountain.

There are no less than 100 mountains in the village, and there are many mountains in the village, and there is no way to manage so many mountains, so the barren mountains that have been cut down have been abandoned there.

Later, the county issued a document to encourage the development of the four wildernesses in combination with the conditions of each village itself, to maximize the development of the four wildernesses, who develops who benefits, the village divided most of the barren mountains to the villagers as their own mountains, and the rest have been planted with some small saplings and bamboo.

In the past few years, the city has encouraged the development of a variety of operations, the development model of combining planting and breeding, and the county has also put forward the slogan of revitalizing the county's fruit tree planting industry and creating a new era of fruit tree planting according to the characteristics of the county's mountainous and less land, warm and humid climate, and suitable for a variety of fruit tree planting.

Encourage all kinds of fruit tree nurseries in mountainous villages, and also organize a large number of workers in the forestry and agricultural departments to go out to learn from experience, and send a large number of technical personnel to the countryside to go deep into the villages to mobilize and guide villagers to operate orchards and teach fruit tree cultivation and management techniques.

At the same time, certain preferential policies are also given in all aspects, and seedling preferences and planting subsidies are given to large planters......

There is a certain foundation for planting fruit trees in this county, and there are more or less a few fruit trees in front of and behind each house, but this is also for the children in the family to have a snack, and no one thought that they could make a fortune from this.

At first, many people wondered if the cultivation of this fruit tree could really bring wealth, but when the farmers who actively planted the fruit in the early stage came down the mountain, the price was good, and the market was good, so it was more cost-effective than planting farmland.

Needless to say, the same is true in Changping Village, where most of the villagers have planted all kinds of fruit trees on their hills, and some families have even cut down all the forests or bamboos that they have been operating for several years to plant fruit trees.

It is conceivable that after all these fruit trees bear fruit, the shortcomings of the previous blind horse will gradually be exposed: because of the single variety, poor disease resistance and the lack of sufficient management experience of most growers, the frequent occurrence of diseases and pests, the low fruit setting rate of fruit trees, the lack of sugar in the fruit and other problems are exposed little by little, and because of quality problems, as well as the production and transportation of fruits, etc., can not keep up with the climax of farmers' planting...... Fruit sales are not smooth, and the backlog problem is quite strict.

Changping Village is even more so, although it is very close to the county seat, but because the road was not built at that time, the big car could not drive directly in, even if the price was very low, still no one cared, and even most of the fruit on the hill did not even fall on the tree, it directly rotted on the tree. One year like this, and the next year, there are even children in the township who make up a slip:

Wangjiatun is really called a cow, and there is a mountain in front of and behind the tun; there are many fruit trees, and the fruit is not sold for rotten branches.

It didn't take long for this smooth mouth to spread from the door of the children who went to the village to study in the village, and now everyone couldn't pull down their faces, and some of them were angry, so they simply went directly to the mountain to cut down their own trees and pull them back to burn the fire.

Everyone was so sad about this little fruit tree that few families took care of the trees anymore, leaving them to fend for themselves, and then recovering from the old business and farming for a living.

However, at that time, basically every household was loaned, so many families were really hurting, and even some families have not recovered until now. Even if the road is open now, the cart can also come in, but the people in the village still mention the color change of the tree, few people dare to move the fruit tree planting years, and the trees on the mountain are negligent in management, there are more years, many are aging, and the varieties are not as good as the modern varieties, they can't sell at the price, so they still plant orchards, most of them are just casually played, as a sideline business in the slack time to operate, when the tree dies, and no longer replenish the seedlings, these years, the only result is that the trees on the surrounding mountains have grown a lot, but it has not brought any benefits to the farmers, only those hills that the village has not contracted outOver the years, bamboo has been sold a little bit every year, and it can also be divided into dozens of dollars for each family, at most it is just a soy sauce money.

However, compared to other mountains, this Qingyuan Mountain was assigned to Lao Dao back then, but he didn't care about it at all because of his bad legs and feet, so Xu Yi's family didn't suffer this loss, but this Qingyuan Mountain is still just a barren mountain, except for the stones that are overgrown with artemisia grass or small shrubs.

After Lao Dao passed away, Xu Yi also thought about whether to plant some fruit trees or something, but at that time, the college entrance examination was about to be, where could he take care of this. In addition, he has no money, let alone time management, so this idea is just a turn in his heart and put it down, he went to college, not only did he have no time and no money, but the disadvantages of blind planting also came out, Xu Yi also completely broke this heart, and this Qingyuan Mountain is still barren there, just like decades ago.

Of course, this mountain is just looking at three or four miles of land, as the old saying goes, "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", Xu Yi has to go around in a big circle if he wants to go home.

The village-to-village project is naturally to build the main road into the village into a cement road, but in addition to the village to pull bamboo, fruit or grain when you use the car will use this road, usually go directly to the mountain to the township, so it is faster.

There is no money to build roads in the village, so several village roads are gravel roads paved by each family by themselves when the village is slack, and it is only two or three hundred meters from the east of the village to the west of the village, and Xu Yi left the village after a while.

Leaving the village, several village roads are connected by a cross-road at the end, and further on, there is only a farming road that leads to the western side of the mountain.

This farming road is almost the same in all parts of the country, generally only for one car to pass guò, this road because it is the main road to build a two-way road, and those connected to the crossroads on this road, because there are fewer cars, in order to save land, so all are one-way streets, if the weather is bad in autumn, the car in front breaks down, then the car behind has to be blocked and cannot move.

Xu Yi had to walk west for almost a mile and then turn onto the cross road that connected to the reservoir dam, and then cross the reservoir dam to the bottom of Qingyuan Mountain.

In the past, there was only one dry land in the east and south of the village, and there was not much, as for the swamp land on the west side of the dry land, it was not that no one had made up their minds, but even if it was changed to farmland, because the terrain here was relatively low, the water from the mountains in the southeast would enter the mountain stream and gather here, so the flood was quite strict, and there was no harvest for nine out of ten years.

It was not until the dam under Qingyuan Mountain was repaired that the water from the upstream was cut off, and there were no worries here, and it was reclaimed into farmland one after another, which also greatly increased the number of farmland in the village, and the per capita could be divided into more than ten acres of land. Removing those mountainside ration fields, self-reserved fields, and so on, one person can still get more than 20 acres of land according to the labor force.

In recent years, the price of rice has been getting higher and higher, while the price of soybeans has been affected by international soybean prices and has not changed much.

Although the price of corn in China has also risen sharply due to the development of animal husbandry and biofuels, the income is still not as good as that of paddy fields, so most of the fields in the village have been changed from dry fields to irrigated fields to grow rice.

As for those mountainside lands, either the terrain is too high, the soil sand content is too large to hold water, or the terrain is not flat enough, and it cannot be changed to paddy fields, so then plant some soybeans and miscellaneous grains, but it is mainly just to adjust the varieties of their own rations, do not expect how much money this can sell, if you really want to sell for money, no one will plant soybeans, looking at the high price, but the yield is too low, and you can't make any money at all.

However, this road has been all the way to the west, and the land on both sides of the road has long been changed to paddy fields, the land is very flat, and the plots are divided relatively evenly, so the ridges and irrigation canals in the fields are all neatly repaired, which looks like a huge chessboard.

It is surrounded by mountains, so the ground in the village is relatively warm, and the seedlings have been planted at this time, and the seedlings are waiting for the seedlings to slow down after watering the root water.

Standing on the road and looking out, the middle of the neat ridge is a silver-white water with a light goose yellow, and the goose yellow in the near distance is a row of neat and uniform, slowing seedlings, looking very weak light green seedlings.

This is also normal, it will not take a few days, the seedlings will take root, the weather should be hot, as long as the water and fertilizer can keep up, after the seedlings are tillered, the whole land will become a dark green, and the ground below can not be seen at all.

Although it has not yet reached May Day, the sun at noon has begun to exert its might, with a little hot meaning, this surrounded by mountains also has a little problem, that is, there is rarely a strong wind here. Xu Yi walked on the road, and the occasional wind blowing in his face did not bring a trace of coolness, but mixed with the smell of soil and the musty smell of rotten grass roots in the field, which made people even more breathless, and Xu Yi had not gone far until beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Decades can turn a toddler into a gray-haired old man, but apparently this time has not had much impact on the dam, but the cement on the surface of the dam is not as smooth as it used to be, and it has become a little mottled. But that's all, the north end is connected to the same half of the mountain that was dug up when the dam was built to quarry, so almost half of the mountain was dug up, the difference is that the top is no longer bare, but planted with fruit trees, so far away it is impossible to see what trees are on it;

Compared to the outside of the reservoir, the inside of the reservoir looks green, but Xu Yi has seen it since he was a child, and knows that this is just a water hyacinth that grows very thickly, and sometimes it is too cold in winter, it will freeze to death, and it will appear a little sparse, otherwise there is no sign of any water inside. And the reservoir almost always smells of foul smell all year round, so he didn't stop and went straight through.
