Chapter 381
Erya went directly to the three groups of aquatic products, and there was nothing to say about one group and two groups. Flood prevention is the damage caused by the river water rising to a certain level, as well as the disaster of the river dam bursting. However, there is no need to worry about the dam bursting, because they are at the height of the river, and the breach of the embankment will not affect them. The most worrying thing is the three groups with low terrain and at the junction of the three rivers, the aquatic products of their families and the houses of their villages.
If it rains even every day, then no one can do anything, and there is nothing good to prevent. So she won't talk about that nonsense in one group or two groups, just let Zhao Laishu bring them a word!
These cages for raising fish and shrimp are basically replaced with new ones in three years, and some of them are not easy to use, and they will be replaced immediately, so the fish box and shrimp box are not worried. The most important thing is the loach and yellow eel raised in the lotus root field, and the loach is a nature to run with the current.
Because the aquatic products here have always been very important, and it is the second largest source of income in addition to the orchard, so the other team leaders are basically sent to the distance to manage the farm, and most of the current team leaders and deputy team leaders are newly promoted, only the leader of these three groups is still Zhao Laishu.
Now is the time when the fry are almost grown and can be put in the cage, and Zhao Laishu is busy with the big guys to count the fry in the cage while putting the fry. Erya saw that they were really talking about numbers, and sighed in their hearts for their seriousness and prudence. Fish farming in cages is like this, raising a few more may cause the whole pond of fish to suffer, rather less than more.
Finally someone saw the lady of the owner. Zhao Laishu also looked up as others looked up, and when he saw that it was the lady of the owner who came, he hurriedly handed the fishing fish in his hand to the person next to him, and then counted the fish fry and put them in the cage. And he stood up.
"The proprietor's lady! You're coming back from the capital?! Ah! You are not here for the Chinese New Year this year, and we are all not having as much fun as in previous years. Next year, you should stay at home and take us for the New Year, don't go to other places! "After Zhao Laishu became familiar with the lady of the owner, he would occasionally tell jokes.
Erya smiled and replied, "Next year!" It's really hard to say, whether you can spend the New Year at home is still uncertain! β
Zhao Laishu was originally just talking, but he didn't expect it to become a prophecy. "What! The owner is still going to the capital for the New Year!? β
"Not really! It was my younger brother who won the champion, and the emperor assigned him an official position as a prefect. I've consulted with your host. I want to accompany him to the past to take office, and then"
Zhao Laishu was not an anxious person, and he was by no means an impolite person who would interrupt others. But at this time, he was still excited, and he didn't listen to what the owner lady said. exclaimed: "Xiaolong's owner also won the champion, it's really good!" Good people have their own good rewards, and this should be the case! β
As for Zhao Laishu's overly surprised appearance, don't blame him for being rude! In fact, he has always had a knot in his heart that cannot be dissolved. Since the lifting of Hepu Town entered Beijing to catch the exam, the first time came the champion, and the second time came Tanhua. That's not what he tasted in his heart. It's not that he's not happy that others do well in the exam. It's that he can't think about it.
He always has a stubborn idea, that is, 'evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good', and good people should be rewarded with good. But the owner spent a lot of money and energy to provide so many people with foreign surnames, and they were both champions and tanhuas, why didn't any of the owner's own family members do well in the test? Although An Zidong's family also passed the exam, it is a pity that he is in the middle and lower levels, if he hadn't caught up with the right time. I'm afraid it will take a long time to confer the title. How do you think about it, how do you think this is not the style of painting that a good person should have with a good reward, so he has been looking forward to the owner being able to produce a champion or a list or a flower or something. Unexpectedly, he had only been looking forward to it for two sessions, so he was asked to look forward to it. God is still kind to him, and is willing to listen to his most sincere prayers.
The long-term workers who were busy next to them also heard Zhao Laishu's exclamation, and straightened up one by one, congratulating the lady of the owner with a joyful expression.
Erya smiled and went back one by one, and invited them to participate in the flowing water banquet held by the Wang family after a while.
Then he talked about waterlogging in a clichΓ©, although it was prevented every year, but Zhao Laishu and they were not bored. On the contrary, they have thought of many practical methods in this year of prevention, even if there is really a big flood, they do not have to worry about losses.
"The proprietor's lady! Haven't you been worried that the loaches in this lotus field will be flooded instead? Now you don't have to worry! β
This is definitely good news, and the second girl asked with surprise on her face, "Do you have a way?" β
Zhao Laishu nodded and replied: "There you have, there is!" In fact, it is very simple, but we all thought about it too complicated before, but we didn't think of it. That's it."
This is still a method that Zhao Laishu came up with inspired by his youngest son, Yudan, and it is indeed very simple. They've come up with a lot of things before, but none of them work. It's not that it's not something that works, but the most important thing is that you can't figure out how high the river will rise at that time. For example, the fence made of bamboo or wicker can definitely keep the loaches in the paddy field, but I don't know how high it is to weave. It is impossible to wait until the water level rises, it can only be made up, and it can be used directly when the flood comes.
Some say that the three-foot-wide fence is more arranged, and when the time comes, it will be added according to the water level. It's easy to say, but the key is how to add it when the time comes? I'm afraid that before I have time to add it here, the water will rise over there. Everyone's thinking is frozen in this time.
Let's talk about Zhao Laishu's youngest son, last year, his father took him to the hot pot restaurant of the county owner to eat spicy prawns once, and when he came back, he wanted to eat the prawns. But the owner's prawns can't move, not to mention that the long-term workers look at each other very strictly, even if they don't look at it, they won't touch the owner's things. Although they have never read and are even more illiterate, they understand the truth that they cannot lose a big thing because of a small thing. Although he is a child, he may not understand so much, but under the ears and eyes of adults, he also knows that the things of the owner cannot be moved. But he really wanted to eat prawns, so when he got out of school, he walked along the river to see if there were any prawns in the river.
He and a few children in the Zhuangzi kept going downstream, and really let him find a good place where a lot of prawns and crabs grow. This place should be considered a dead end in the river. Overgrown with revolutionary grass, water hyacinth and other super vitality weeds, shrimp and crabs like to live in these weeds. When the children found it, someone was salvaging revolutionary grass and water hyacinth. I'm going to get it back and feed the animals. Seeing the occasional prawn and crab in the revolutionary grass, the egg shouted excitedly, "Hahaha! Prawns, crabs, finally called me to find it! β
I found the prawns and crabs, but it was not easy to get them out of the revolutionary grass and water hyacinths. Using pork and pork liver as bait to catch shrimp, his mother must be reluctant to beat him, so she can only use fat earthworms or mussel meat. Wait until he's fished there once. I found that it was too slow, and I couldn't afford to spend the little time I had after school. So he used his brains again and begged his mother to help him seal a few boxy cloth pockets with a mesh made of fine linen. Then tie the four corners with bent thick bamboo strips. Taking the shrimp pocket that his mother had sewn for him, he fished out some more river mussels, broke the river mussels and fastened them to the middle of the shrimp pockets from the middle, and then put them in the gap after the revolutionary grass was fished out. After three or two quarters of an hour. Pick it up once, and you will soon be able to pick up a small half basket.
As for the revelation that Zhao Laishu received, it was the fishing net woven by the twine that had been stretched open to the four corners. He finally figured out how he could prepare things in advance, so that as the water level rose, the height of the barrier could also be increased.
Originally, they all thought of a bamboo fence that could be inserted into the ridge, but they never thought about using a soft net woven with twine that was not well integrated with the ridge at the bottom. So this thinking has been limited!
He asked someone to help weave fishing nets nearly two zhang wide and ten zhang long, and weaved dozens of them in total, which was enough for those lotus fields. When the time comes, once it is found that there is a real danger of flooding, a bamboo fence specially woven under the fishing net will be fixed in the ridge. The top is picked up with a bamboo pole about two feet high. As the water level rises, the top of the net can be bolted a little higher above the bamboo pole. If the water level is really going to be more than two feet higher. There's no way to think about that. Because they have grown so big, they have never seen such a great flood.
Zhao Laishu told the lady of the owner about the meaning of using fishing nets as a fence, and the second girl knew what was going on when she heard it. There are too many such fences in later generations, and she didn't even expect it, and she was confused enough.
Anyway, it's good or bad, and there's no better way. Erya turned a few more fish ponds and lotus fields, and explained to Zhao Laishu the safety of their houses, if the situation is not right, they will all move to a group to live temporarily, and they must absolutely ensure their personal safety no matter what. In addition, one group and two groups should also pay attention to the rain, as well as the safety of each house and person. After explaining that there was really nothing to explain, he reflexively turned to Puzhen. Before going to see the children, she went around the fields and barren mountains in the town.
The long-term workers in this field are basically from Luojiazhuang. Although their hometown has now been lifted out of poverty because of the large cultivation of bell peppers and the picking of peppers. Because of the abundance of fertilizer and the improvement of seeds, the farmland has been prosperous every year in recent years, and the life of the family can be regarded as moving towards a well-off life. But none of them said to go back, they all stayed here to work, and in the past few years, a few more have come to join one after another.
This field has also been well managed by them, and the yield of the reservoir is also very high, plus the income from raising geese in large quantities and selling goose down, the value of their income per mu has reached more than 20 taels of silver. They didn't leave here and go home to develop on their own, because they knew that they would never have the opportunity to achieve such high results anywhere. It's not that they don't have the ability to breed, it's that they raise so many geese, goose down, and fish that they can't sell themselves.
Around the barren mountains, the mulberry saplings that were once planted have now grown up, and the silkworm babies have been raised for four years. Four silkworm houses were built along the mulberry forest, and several masters of silkworm raising were specially invited by Mr. Jin to go back to his hometown to help invite them, and at that time there were several nephews and nephews of Mr. Jin. They saw that the old man Jin was going back in a new-style carriage in a bright and decent manner, talking and doing things with a rich and generous style, which made several families who were very difficult at home moved, and wailed and begged him to bring them over to make a living.
Of course, when they come here, as long as they are not bad goods, they want to live a good life, and they will generally live well. Even if they don't want to work in Erya's factory, Erya can help them find a small business to do, and can always give them a way out. Anyway, although these later ones are not as rich as Old Man Jin's family, they are dozens of levels higher than they are in their hometown. (To be continued......)
PS: Yesterday Friday, I always thought it was Thursday, so I didn't think of preparing for Sunday, and I didn't have time to write two chapters today. I'm afraid it won't be even more so tomorrow! I don't know if I can finish writing tomorrow now. It's been going crazy these days!
