Chapter 321: Cutting down trees
At present, there are no boats in the reservoir, no one manages it, and for the time being, the forestry station helps to take care of it, and there are two forest rangers in the Horn Hill area, which is subsidized by the commune.
The salary of the forest ranger is terrible low, I remember that I saw a video report on the Internet before the crossing, a certain aunt in the capital area has been guarding the forest for 20 years, all in 2013, and the monthly salary is only 500 yuan.
However, the forest rangers in Kakuyama are part-time and usually work as farmers, but they are responsible for cultivating saplings every year, planting them on the vacant wasteland, basically planting pine trees, and these trees are the property of the state.
At this time, Fang Dajun and the six mutes walked along the edge of the reservoir, there are roads in some places, and some places can only climb to the mountain and turn over, when they climb to the top of the mountain, it makes people feel more relaxed.
"Dumb, remember, clear out this place, build a watchtower, and I'll go get some telescopes and come back." Fang Dajun said excitedly, he wanted to build a villa in this neighborhood, and occasionally come to live for a while, climbing, fishing, boating, swimming, and not too comfortable.
Finally, he pointed to a few well-located sites to build pavilions, and even a larger project to clear the 1,000 acres of surrounding mountains for planting fruit trees.
He has been contracting the reservoir for 50 years, of course, he can wait until the day of flowering and fruiting, and he can also ask the Agricultural Bureau for technical support, but the tree species to be planted have not yet been determined, and it is impossible to do it all at once, because if all the trees on the current mountain range are cut down, it may cause landslides and other situations.
And to cut down the existing trees, it is not so simple, which is the same as although he contracted the reservoir. But you can't drain the water inside. Only the right to use. And there is no right to radical transformation.
So these trees, in the end, I had to find a way to let the government get rid of them, the number is not too many, of course he has the way, and it is very simple, that is, to replace the students with a batch of brand new desks and benches.
Almost from the time the reservoir was contracted, so everything was planned. And started planning a long time ago.
In winter, it was not suitable for entering the water, the water level was low, and there were no boats in the reservoir, so I didn't stay long, and I didn't take the time to go around the reservoir.
As for all the expenses, they are owed first. It will be settled before the New Year, and this point is nothing. The villagers have become accustomed to the New Year's checkout, which has been preserved from the commune period.
Later generations of migrant workers, also basically wait until the Chinese New Year to settle the year's wages, of course, usually take a little, but that is not called wages, but living expenses, the money can only meet the usual food expenses, so migrant workers can save money, but it is also difficult to ask for wages, because the wages of each worker are superimposed throughout the year, and the wages are not a small amount. If you meet the contractor and don't make any money, you may run away.
Of course, Fang Dajun couldn't run away, and if he could run, the monk couldn't run the temple.
After returning from the reservoir, he drove a tractor to the coal mine concentration area, which is also the entire Beidou, and even the entire Renyi, a super coal mine that can be ranked first, and it can't be hollowed out for decades.
The "little black stone" that has not been used for a long time has played a role, and it has been almost forgotten before, but when it is taken out and held in his hand, he only feels that it is extremely hot, and it has become black and white in his eyes, black as ink, so thick that it can drip like juice, and there is no end in sight.
What exactly this thing is, it can't be explained by science at all, but he has already experienced the crossing, so it's not surprising, as long as he keeps it a secret.
"Fifty years, this mountain range, I contracted." Fang Dajun clapped his hands and said, it is also a personal contract, because it is cheap enough, roughly calculated, the entire mountain range in front of him is also the highest mountain in Beidou, stretching for about five kilometers, with a total area of about 15,000 acres. This mountain range is not the end of the road, with a total area of more than one million acres, spanning three cities and five counties.
The Beidou area only accounts for a small part, the highest altitude is more than 800 meters, and the lowest is more than 500 meters, resulting in the unique geographical conditions of this mountain range, that is, it is difficult to go up the mountain.
The trail is very rugged, the steepest part is 90 degrees, not to mention walking the whole mountain, even climbing to the top of the mountain, the foot is at least two hours, the top of the mountain is deserted, only the ranger occasionally goes up to live.
However, there are infinite coal mines under the mountains, and the magnificent mountains are enough to ensure that they are not prone to collapse during the excavation process, as long as the gas explosion is prevented.
The trees planted on the top of the hill are immeasurable, and from a distance it is dark and full of vegetation, but the cliff is exposed, and there are many small caves on the cliff, which is the favorite place of the eagle and the nest.
Now that he is in the pocket of Fang Dajun, the purpose is not only to dig coal, but also to protect this mountain range, in this life, people can't just think about making money, and occasionally do something meaningful.
Well, he's not an environmentalist, and being able to make money and be meaningful is what he likes.
In addition to this mountain range, another barren mountain was taken, this is a real barren mountain, nothing else can be done except planting trees, even if trees are planted, it is very troublesome to clean up, not so much a contract, but a place of garbage. But if you are willing to pay someone to clean it up and plant high-value trees, it will be prosperous in many years.
In addition, the commune's rice house was purchased by him, which is a famous project, not for the purpose of making money, but to better serve the villagers, and only charge the basic fee for beating rice in the future, this place is indispensable in the village, such as millet to be threshed before it can be eaten as rice, and corn to be beaten into powder before it can be used to feed livestock.
Even chickens, if the whole corn kernel is dried for a long time, it is not easy to digest, let alone pigs.
There is also wheat that also needs to be beaten into powder, no need for deep processing, after being beaten into powder, you can steam steamed buns to eat, locally called gray flour steamed buns, can be regarded as coarse grains.
For three whole days, basically the places where Horn Mountain was valuable to him, or where he felt it was necessary to protect, were taken, and the money was spent a large amount, but it was temporarily owed, and the loan was settled when it came down.
Construction is already underway on the reservoir, and the seedlings have not yet been planted in the field. Farmland can also be converted into fish ponds. Fish farming is in line with national policy. Even in the future, fish farming will be encouraged, and the government has additional subsidies, so now there is no extravagance, as long as the gun is not laid, Fang Dajun can steal the fun.
The 5,000 ducks ordered did not hatch so quickly, and even if they hatched immediately, they would need to be raised for a period of time after the shell was broken, and it would take about two months to get the duck seedlings together.
When the time comes. It's already after the Chinese New Year, and the time is exactly the same.
At the cement factory, Xu Dazhuang officially took office, and when he heard that he had already clashed with Yangmei, the two sides parted unhappily, and Fang Dajun just smiled when he heard it.
Here, Wang Hongwen has already determined that he will go to Xinchang on the eighth to take office, and after the transfer, the position of secretary will be taken over by President Zhu Zhangyuan, which can be regarded as a breakthrough, which is equivalent to retiring in the position of deputy section level. The pension will also be much higher in the future.
That's the way it is in the system, no matter what position you were in before. Generally, the retirement salary is calculated according to the level at the time of retirement. At this time, the retirement salary is borne by the state, and the retirement salary of state-owned enterprises is borne by the enterprise, and it will be completely transformed into a pension insurance type, almost at the end of the nineties.
On the 5th, he came down from the technical support required by the Agricultural Bureau, and introduced him to a new type of fruit, a variety that has not yet had time to be promoted, which is actually an orange, named "Touch Mandarin".
This kind of orange is very sweet, and it is better than the Chenzi, Canton, Blood Orange, Su Mandarin, or Dense Mandarin that are commonly cultivated today.
The harvest period is in November and December, and it can be stored until March, which is a harvest type, and it is delicious but not hot.
Fang Dajun was quite surprised, because this orange, he had eaten it many times before crossing, and it could be sold for two yuan a pound when it was the cheapest, and five yuan when it was the most expensive, it belonged to the mass consumption of oranges.
As for the oranges planted by Beidou now, he basically hadn't eaten them before he crossed over, and they were eliminated.
Now the reason why the Agricultural Bureau recommends this orange to him is because it can be grafted with any variety of orange trees now, and the big trees can be cut down now, and after germination in the next year, they can be grafted, and they can hang fruit after about two years, which can save about three years of cycle, and because the main stem of grafting is developed, the growth will be more fierce after grafting, and the yield will be higher, but relatively, the life span of orange trees is also poorer.
Thinking about the present, it is better to graft, thinking about the future, and it is better to plant.
Fang Dajun chose to go together, because the oranges grown in the commune now are small and sour, more than three times smaller than the mandarin oranges, and there is another problem, the varieties taken out by the Agricultural Bureau are much better than those he has eaten in later generations, the skin is red, and the mainstream of the mandarin orange is the yellow skin, and there are seeds in it.
But now what he eats, there are almost no seeds in it, sweet and delicious, it can be called the best, and it can beat excellent varieties such as: Shiranui, Aomi, Harumi and so on.
"Just plant this!" He set the tone.
Then the technicians of the Agricultural Bureau took action, determined the scope, environment, etc., and then prepared to cultivate seedlings, and Fang Dajun was not idle, and began to persuade everyone to cut down trees.
Now the small oranges, to be planted for about eight years before hanging fruit, although not valuable, but the harvest is inevitable, such as the thin monkey family, every year can harvest hundreds of pounds of oranges, now said to cut it, who is willing to it.
The thin monkey family was reluctant, and as soon as Fang Dajun mentioned this, he cut down the tree on the same day, saying that smoking bacon with orange trees would be particularly fragrant, but in fact, it was to support his idea.
Subsequently, the entire Fang family with orange trees was also cut down, and then, under the call of Liu Chunshan, the entire production team also began to cut down orange trees.
Finally, the entire Horn Mountain is cutting down orange trees, which are not cut down casually, but have a standard, about one meter or so of the trunk, cut diagonally, so that they are not easy to rot.
After cutting, plants such as corn stalks should be used to protect them from wilting, and of course these are approached by technicians.
Grafting is actually not high in technology, it depends on reluctance, the village thinks that there are people who try to graft, but it is on the branch, choose a small branch to graft, so that it will succeed is a strange thing, even if it is successful, this tree can still produce two varieties of oranges?
Therefore, the previous grafting has been abolished, and the current grafting is equal to one step, directly cutting down the tree, only keeping the main trunk below, and if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent. Grafting is risky, there is no 100% guarantee that it will be successful, and it is possible that the tree will hang up before grafting.
Everyone was willing to cut down trees, and the name Fang Dajun played a decisive role, which proved that everyone was willing to believe him.
