Chapter 10 Poverty alleviation and prosperity

On April 8, 1987, it was recorded by the later Lijia Village as the starting date of Lijia Village's take-off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, when Li Chen arrived at the ancestral hall, the youth commando team headed by Li Quanshan and the fat distribution people selected by each family were already standing quietly in the courtyard of the ancestral hall waiting for Li Chen. Maybe it's the tacit understanding of the people in the village, or maybe it's the decision made by the clan elders in private, but the people who come here today are all young people. Perhaps young people realize that today is a very important day for Lijiacun and for themselves. Therefore, they didn't talk much, and when they saw Li Chen, they just quietly leaned forward and surrounded Li Chen in the middle.

Li Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed Li Quanshan the list of raw materials needed for fertilizer distribution, and said: "The more the merrier, only this season can be matched in a year." You arrange manpower, I only need to receive things within these three days, after these three days, the raw materials will be invalid, and you will go with me with a few strengths. After speaking, Li Chen found a place to lean on, closed his eyes and went to recuperate.

Li Quanshan knew that Li Chen was deliberately cultivating him, nodded gratefully from Li Chen, and then summoned people to gather together to assign his tasks. It can be seen that Li Quanshan has a high prestige in the hearts of the young people in the village, and he didn't say a few words, except for a few strong commandos who were deliberately left, the others hurried out of the ancestral hall with solemn faces, and it is estimated that they think that only these 3 days a year are suitable for collecting raw materials suitable for fertilizer, and the pressure is great, if the amount of raw materials collected is insufficient, resulting in the supply of fertilizer this year, they will become sinners in the village.

Not to mention that these young people call friends to collect raw materials everywhere, anyway, in addition to cinnabar and limestone, which are difficult to prospect for mining, the others are basically grass and rattan that can be seen everywhere in the mountains. Li Chen took Li Quanshan to the side of the village, along the creek next to the village, up the stream, to a relatively gentle slope in a small valley at the back of the village, this place is surrounded by high cliffs on three sides, there is a small waterfall at the exit, there is a small waterhole below the waterfall, this is the drinking water intake place of Lijia Village, in order to avoid animals polluting the waterhole, the young adults of Lijia Village take turns to guard day and night, Li Chen looked at the direction, and was very satisfied with the safety of this place and the convenience of taking water. I picked up a branch on the ground and found a relatively flat place to draw a line on the spot.

After a while, a 5-meter-diameter Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram was painted by Li Chen on the hillside. Throwing away the branches, Li Chen waved his hand at Li Quanshan, pointed to the Taiji diagram and said to him: "Dig according to this, the yang is on the yin and the yin is down, the yang fish area is 3 meters deep, and the bottom of the yang fish area is 90 cm higher than the bottom of the yin fish area, and the bottom should be horizontal." Li Quanshan hurriedly took out a pen and paper in his trouser pocket and wanted to record. was stopped by Li Chen.

"After digging up, find your grandfather and ask him to find someone to get this place done. I want to tell his old man that this pool should be filled with fertilizer water in the future, and it should not leak downwards or water from above, and it should be able to bear it. The elders must know how to prevent water seepage and fortification. ”

"After the anti-seepage water is done, at the bottom of the yinyu area, make a water outlet and then lead it out on the hillside, if not, dig a section on the hillside below the pool, and send someone out to get an iron water pipe, the kind with a switch."

"After the outlet is done, lay a 100 cm thick gravel on the bottom of the yin fish, the more broken it is, the more it is good, but the minimum diameter must be greater than 4 cm, just find a stone without moss on the south slope of the sun and smash it and pave it. Yangyu District can only be used to build houses in the village, and the kind of green bricks burned by yourself can be paved. ”

"Don't close the lid until the bottom is ready, I'm going to check it, and after I say yes, I'll have to find another time to seal it." You can only keep these in your own heart, I can't give you drawings, do you understand? Li Chen explained to Li Quanshan as he spoke, watching him nod busily, but his eyes were full of confusion. He smiled.

"Don't ask me, I don't know, it's written in the Taoist book, it's definitely useful anyway. In addition, I don't care what you do, on April 5, the day of Qingming, the pond will be half filled with water, so use the water from the stream next to it. There are also materials that have been collected and dried and will be moved here on that day, and I will use them. By the way, build a house next to here, and set up a big cauldron, the bigger the better, and I'm going to use it to boil medicine. ”

After speaking, Li Chen turned around and went down the mountain. Listening to Li Quanshan's loud command to excavate, Li Chen couldn't help but show a strange smile on his face. In fact, Li Chen just wanted to find a large-capacity container that could hold liquid fertilizer. After thinking about it, I had to dig a water cellar on the spot. The gravel of the water part can be filtered to a certain extent, Lijiacun uses the ancient technique to burn the green bricks, the color is blue-gray, the texture is hard, thick and simple, there is the sound of bell chime, the section is delicate to the naked eye can not see the pores after the truncation, the density is high and the air permeability is taken into account, Li Chen plans to use the green brick as the carrier of the energy array, so that after absorbing the dark energy, it can be well integrated with liquid fertilizer.

Back at the ancestral hall, Li Hubao, two old men, and several middle-aged people were already waiting, and Li Chen saw that the carpenter, blacksmith and their respective apprentices in the village had arrived, so he hurriedly walked up to him and made a fist. "Grandpa Leopard, Uncle Dexing, Uncle Delong, Brother Quanyou, Brother Quan Liang......".

After a round of greeting, Li Hubao looked at Li Chen, pointed at Li Dexing, and said: "Chen Wazi, you also know Dexing and Delong, just say what you want to do, their brothers are the best craftsmen in the mountains, you know." ”

Li Chen was not polite, he directly took out the drawings in his trouser pocket and handed them to Li Dexing, saying: "Uncle Dexing, this is the drawing of the oil press I draw, which is different from the one I use now, and the structure has changed quite a lot, mainly because the screw screws of different sizes are used, and the pressing force is increased in direction and the oil circuit is shortened, so that the oil is fully extracted and the oil is produced quickly." In addition, the structure of the chamber has been changed, mainly to add a 2-shaft gear, drive an extra layer of mills, and the proportion of several power transmission gears has been adjusted. According to this drawing, an aunt can step on the machine, and 50 kilograms can be easily squeezed out in an hour, and the oil output per 100 kilograms of rapeseed is 3 percent more than that of the old machine, and the oil product should be improved by one level.

"You two elders bring this drawing back to study and study, I can only draw drawings and can't do it, I don't have your skills!"

Li Dexing, the eldest of the two brothers, is a blacksmith and has a much more straightforward personality than the carpenter's younger brother. Unceremoniously took it, glanced at it a few times, and immediately became short of breath, his cheeks were red for a while, the blood vessels in his neck were exposed, and his hands were so excited that he could barely hold the drawings. Li Delong saw it, and also leaned over, just glanced at it a few times, slapped his thigh, and said: I can't think of it, I really can't think of it, Chen Wazi can ...... it. Li Dexing also reacted at this time, hurriedly kicked the drawings into his pocket, pulled Li Delong out, and said as he walked: "Chen Wazi, this hard work will be handed over to our gang, you have a good brain, you have other drawings in the future, come to us, we must do this hard work well." Li Hubao and Li Chen were stunned and hung in the ancestral hall, looking at each other, and after a long time, Li Hubao looked at each other and laughed.

"It seems that your drawings have calmed Dexing, when he first came, he was still nagging, the little doll is smart and smart, and making drawings is not only smart. As a result...... "Li Hubao smiled and took a selfie of his thigh." Laughing and laughing, he suddenly jumped up, hurriedly chased in the direction where Li Dexing left, and shouted without looking back: "Chen Wazi, I want to explain the confidential matter, you can do whatever you have to do." I'm keeping an eye on other things, don't worry! Before the words fell, the person had gone away.

Li Chen looked at Li Hubao's back, and said to himself: "The civilizations of two different universes have merged for the first time, and now they are just a few sparks, I don't know how much fire it will cause in the future......"

The villagers of Lijia Village were stimulated with the greatest enthusiasm by the bright tomorrow. Only one day later, the amount of fertilizer materials collected far exceeded Li Chen's expectations. Li Chen hurriedly called a halt and asked Li Quanshan to arrange for someone to pull all the grass and vines down the south slope to dry.

At the same time, the excavation of the fertilizer distribution pond was also completed on the third day after a round-the-clock struggle. As a result, after the few young men who participated in the excavation finished their work, they all lay down at the bottom of the pool and fell asleep, and they did not even wake up after being tied up with ropes by the people above and hanging themselves. Li Chen looked at the few young men who were extremely tired, and was very satisfied with their hard work, and while the big guys were in a hurry, he quietly condensed a little cosmic energy with his hands and gave everyone a little time in their bodies. These energies can ensure that these young men will develop their bodies and brains again after waking up, and there is absolutely no problem in living a healthy life to be over 110 years old.

As Li Hubao and others commanded the knowledgeable people in the village to thoroughly improve and strengthen the fertilizer distribution pool, Li Chen ignored the opposition of others, and in full view of everyone, he personally spread the newly burned green bricks on the ground in Yangyu District. After all the green bricks were paved, Li Chen immediately felt a trace of energy slightly thicker than his hair, quietly generated, and gradually a trace of energy floated on the surface of all the green bricks, in Li Chen's spiritual perspective, as if someone had drawn a line connected in the first place with a very thin pen and a certain law, which meant that the energy array was successful.

After Li Chen completed the energy array, he completely became the shopkeeper, and after handing over the amount, sequence, time and other precautions of the raw materials when boiling the medicine, as well as the proportion of fertilizer in the pool to water after it came out, he hid in the Tao and read the book. Even if he swore at the beginning that Qingming began to personally distribute fat, he also asked Li Quanshan to do it for him on the grounds of training the whole mountain comrades.

However, Li Chen's obviously lazy behavior was unanimously recognized by the old and young masters of Lijia Village. Even the patriarch Li Wenfeng deliberately pulled Li Chen to recite the so-called "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people" and other ancient precepts.

In this regard, Li Chen thought so, and Li Quanshan and others also thought so. As a result, Li Chen completely became a bystander to Lijia Village's vigorous poverty alleviation action.

The first to be harvested was rapeseed oil.

I have to say that Li Dexing, Li Delong brothers do not say that the craftsmanship of the two brothers, according to Arnold's assessment, the fitting error between the gears can be calculated in microns, Arnold believes that this standard workpiece is used in the oil press, it is simply an insult to the technical personnel, this kind of technology should be used in high-precision instruments, the two brothers according to the outside world is the level of eight-level fitters.

When Li Dexing personally demonstrated, stepping on the driving wheel, soon a stream of clear and translucent oil flowed out of the oil outlet, and the pressed rapeseed was slowly discharged in the other mouth in flakes. After the oil drum was filled, the experienced old man in the village caught the last stream of oil with a white porcelain bowl, took it outside to look at it under the sun, and then dipped a little into it and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. Turning around, he shouted to the people who had come out and gathered around, eager to know the results.

"It definitely belongs to the first-class oil extraction, and the oil yield is nearly 5 percent, and Brother Chen's design is successful."

Suddenly, cheers rang out, because everyone had learned that the state had greatly increased procurement prices this year. 35 yuan per 100 catties of high-grade rapeseed, while 110 catties of first-class rapeseed oil is 110 yuan.

This year, thanks to the use of new fertilizers, rapeseed yields per acre have left everyone jaw-dropping. The yield per mu has doubled to 260 kilograms, and it is all high-quality rapeseed. Without mentioning the sale of oil extraction, the income per mu of rapeseed alone can reach 182 yuan. Fortunately, Li Wenfeng and others, who reacted in time, issued a gag order in time. And everyone in the village knows what's at stake. Therefore, let the supply and marketing staff who came to the village to inquire in every way, the real output of rapeseed in Lijia Village has become a secret buried in everyone's stomach.

And today there is another surprise, if according to the original oil press, 100 catties of rapeseed oil output is less than 30 catties. And because of process problems, only secondary oil can be produced. Now 100 catties of rapeseed produce nearly 50 catties of first-class oil. It means that this year, everyone's income per mu of rape field reached 274 yuan, and the people in the mountains have fewer fields for staple food, and each person is about 1 acre, but who does not have a ten mu and eight acres of rape fields and tobacco fields, and the investment is almost zero, with an average income of 2,700 yuan per household, and the people of Lijia Village are completely crazy.

In the end, grateful people flocked to Li Wuhu's house with prey such as smoked bacon or hares at home, not much, put down their things and left, saying that they would let Brother Chen'er replenish his body and grow tall, while Li Chen quickly avoided the small Taoist temple after the first wave of people left, and even changed the habit of going down the mountain once every 7 days, and every once in a while, he quietly returned home at night, and then left quietly at dawn the next day. There is no way, I am really frightened by the people whose enthusiasm never fades.

Not to mention how Lijia Village concealed the truth about rapeseed oil, anyway, in the envious eyes of the purchasing staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the commune, a group of men, women and children in Lijia Village saw for the first time what is called a thick pile of banknotes. In the end, after the money was distributed to the hands of each family, Lijia Village for the first time almost the whole village went out, helping the old and the young to go to the riverside town to make a big purchase, every household changed new clothes, and the women also had a little more hairpins and other small ornaments on their heads, and the happiest were the children, who put on new clothes every day and ran around in the mountains, which was happier than the New Year.

The day of the tobacco harvest is very fast, and it is not surprising that the yield per mu of tobacco this year has also exceeded that of previous years, which is an output that the people in the mountains have never thought of.

In particular, Li Chen taught the latest baking techniques to young people, and the tobacco treated by the new baking method was scary in good condition. I have to say that although the methods of Taoist doctors in concocting traditional Chinese medicine are complicated, and even some links are a little weird, the effect is surprisingly good. The production of high-quality tobacco has increased by almost 2 times. The staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives who came to Lijia Village to purchase shouted that they had never known that such good tobacco could be produced here because the roads were impassable.

According to him, it is estimated that this tobacco is the top in China, and the final evaluation gave the highest standard of 15 grades, and finally alarmed the tobacco bureau of the local party committee to send experts to the field inspection. Experts give: tobacco leaf tissue is loose, moderate thickness, most of the color is golden, a small amount of orange, sufficient oil, strong luster, length 50~60cm, good elasticity, sufficient amount of ignition aroma, mellow taste, and the conclusion is supergrade. In the end, after many discussions, the Tobacco Bureau gave an average purchase price of 75 yuan per quintal of 75 yuan per quintal, that is, 90 yuan per quintal, and an average income of 360 yuan per mu. In this way, the average income of each household in Lijia Village has reached about 3,400 yuan.

Lijia Village went crazy again, and almost all the families broke out in a fierce conflict that night, and for the first time, the couples, who had probably adhered to Confucianism all their lives, blushed and complained to each other about why there was less famine, more tobacco. Gradually, most people's minds are focused on a variety of rape and tobacco next year.

But there are still people who lose their hearts under the impact of suddenly becoming rich. In the village, there began to be a situation of gathering in twos and threes, sneaking into the town below the mountain every night to gamble for money; There are even families who say that their staple grain fields have been planed, ready to catch up with the winter planting of tobacco; There are also people who have not opened up the wasteland in time this year, and as a result, they make less money than others, so they are playing with each other to find Chen Wazi to find some way to make money.

In this era, the per capita income of peasants in the imperial capital and the suburbs of Huhai was only about 600 yuan, and the average household income was about 3,000 yuan, while Lijia Village, in the poorest mountains in China, jumped from less than 100 yuan per household to more than 6,000 yuan within a year. The impact on these mountain people, who have never seen so much money in their lives, is not just about improving their lives......

At the beginning, Li Chen met people who gambled money, and he persuaded him with good words, but after a few times, most of them got words such as: Brother Chen, don't worry, as long as you think more about ways to make money next year, what is this little money, and what is a small gamble.

And those who are unwilling to make less money, Li Chen can hide, but in the end, he still didn't dodge. Li Chen, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally broke out.
