In the winter of 1999, hundreds of thousands of peasant compatriots in the three districts and two counties under the jurisdiction of Kapok City were all working hard to plant fruit trees.

Many people have planted their vegetable fields, grain fields and mountain lands at home, and they have also planted fruit trees on the mountain lands that have just been cultivated and returned to forests just a few years ago.

At first, a group of people who were still waiting and did not dare to plant trees vigorously arrived at the back, but when they wanted to plant, they could not plant for the time being because of the lack of saplings, so they could only wait for the rainy season next year.

Oranges, oranges, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, plums, apples, peppercorns, pomegranates, mangoes, lychees, longan, loquats, bayberry, cherries, chestnuts, walnuts

These fruits, which are suitable for cultivation in the mixed areas of hot and dry valleys, hills and plains in Kapok City, are mainly planted in a certain type that is most suitable for planting, supplemented by other equally suitable species.

For example, in mountainous areas with high altitudes, chestnuts, walnuts, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, bayberry, cherries, apples, peppercorns, etc. are mainly used for cold-loving and cold-tolerant species, and the rest are supplemented.

In the relatively warm hilly areas, loquats, oranges, oranges, pomegranates, etc. are the main ones, and there are fewer cold-loving farms such as bayberry, walnut, and peach.

The plain valley area with the smallest proportion of land occupied by Kapok City, because of the low altitude and high temperature, is mainly planted with mango, longan, and lychee, which is relatively simple.

The reason why different fruits are grown in different regions is because different types of fruits have different requirements for the growing environment.

For example, fruit trees such as longan pears, apricots, plums, and peaches. It is adaptable, and can be planted in plains and hilly areas, but the quality is not as good as that of mountain planting.

However, if you plant varieties such as mango and lychee, which are temperature-loving and cold-sensitive, in mountainous areas with high altitude and low temperature, even if it does not snow in that year or a few years, the saplings will not be able to survive the winter at low temperatures and will be frostbitten and frozen to death.

In the same way, if you plant fruit trees such as cherries and chestnuts in the humid and hot valley plains, the saplings will definitely be able to grow and grow into large trees. But the end is that it will not bear fruit. Planted also white.

The reason why a small Kapok City can produce so many fruits is because of the special geographical environment of Kapok City.

It is located in the mountains of the southwest, but it is located along the Jinsha River. Countless regions, river valleys, and hills are nestled on each other. Small basins are formed one after another. This is Kapok City.

Daping Township, where Yu Mingyue's home is located, is the best embodiment of this landform and the seat of the township government. It is the center of a small basin covering an area of hundreds of acres, at an altitude of 1,200 meters, and a perennial surging Xishan River in the west.

On all sides of the basin are hills between tens and hundreds of meters high, and after the hills, one mountain is higher than the other, forming reckless mountains.

The small village where Yu Mingyue's family is located is the intersection of plains and hills, and the small hill where she first planted fruit trees is a small hill in other words, and her family later bought those orchards near the landlord's tomb, which is the area where the mountains and hills are connected at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.

In the reckless mountains above the orchard of Yu Mingyue's house, there are several villages under the jurisdiction of Daping Township, although each has its own name, but it is collectively called the mountainous area by the locals.

It seems that it is not far away, but it is a distance of several kilometers or more than ten kilometers, but the temperature in Yu Mingyue's house, because of the surrounding hills, is about one or two degrees lower than that of the area where the township government is located.

And Yu Mingyue's house, at the top of the mountain against the orchard of the landlord's grave, the temperature difference is even more obvious, and it may be more than three or four degrees lower.

Compared to those villages in the mountains, the temperature difference is even greater.

However, it is because of such a special environment that the orchard of Yu Mingyue's landlord's grave has been diversified.

Tropical fruits such as mango can be planted at the bottom, while cherry and chestnut are more suitable for growing cold-loving cherries and chestnuts that are unique to mountainous areas.

And such a special area, not only Daping Township, for the entire Kapok City, such a special area, too much.

That's why when the whole city grows fruits, the types of fruits in various places have to be diversified.

Since 1982, when all the land in Kapok City was contracted to households, for more than 10 years, this kind of village-based cultivation of a certain crop has not occurred for many years.

As a result, some little guys who have not experienced the era of large collectives are curious and excited, and some are beginning to be sensible, with some worries that do not belong to their age.

"When will these fruit trees that our family planted bear fruit?" Most of the children who ask this kind of thing are hairy children with greedy faces.

"With so many oranges grown in our village, will they be like last year's cabbage, all rotten in the ground and unable to be sold?" Those who would ask like this are basically half-sized girls with worries on their faces.

After all, for young children, growing so many fruits at home means that there will be endless types of fruits to eat in the future.

The older ones are already more sensible, and they will worry that these fruits will not be able to sell if they grow too much, and the family will have no income.

After all, since 1982, after the implementation of the package production to households in this area of Kapok City, farmers have the right to have autonomy.

But in the same way, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, rain or shine, tired and tired of working in the field for a year, whether the production of a few acres of land at home can make a lot of money, or whether they can't even pay the agricultural taxes that should be paid, or whether it is a problem to eat and dress warmly, is also their own business.

But who doesn't want to live this good life, and everyone has a competitive heart, who wants to live worse than others?

So for so many years, except for those lazy and sweaty second-rate people who are idle, eating, drinking, and mixing, everyone else has sharpened their heads and thought of ways, getting up early and working with the few acres of fields at home.

Rural people are not highly educated, but it does not mean that the wisdom is not high, more than ten years, in addition to the earliest days, to learn the knowledge sent by the government to promote scientific farming, those agricultural technicians, taught the knowledge. He also summed up a set of experiences in planting good fields and earning money.

A little cultural and active, in order to live a better and better life than others, know to buy some agricultural books to read, and after long-term observation and practice, the family will discuss a variety of new vegetables, or others in the season to grow less vegetables, so that when on the market, occupy the advantage of a small quantity, can sell at a good price.

And those who don't even know a word. Or an honest person who didn't make it. When I watched the lives of other people live better than my own, I was also forced to be shrewd.

When the family gossips, they know and discuss which families in the village they want to learn from. What kind of vegetables to grow in different seasons. in order to sell at a good price and earn more money. After paying the agricultural tax, you can still have some money to live a good life.

Over time, I listened more and saw more. Even a hairy child in the countryside understands that in addition to grain, everyone grows in the season, or a certain crop that is planted the most, means that it is either rotten in the ground or has no return.

The end result is that the family has no money for a while, not only the village chief often comes to the house to urge the payment of agricultural taxes, but not only does he have no pocket money, but he may even have to owe his own school tuition for a while to pay.

This time, however, the farmers who grow the trees no longer have to worry about sales.

For greedy children, parents and elders generally scold: "Little rabbit, this tree has just been planted, you just remember to eat it, get out of the way and play, don't delay Lao Tzu planting the tree." Although he was scolding, he couldn't stop laughing on his face.

For children who will worry about their families, parents and elders will generally explain with a relieved smile: "Don't worry, how many fruits are planted, Sanxing Company sets a guaranteed price every year to take it away, and people use it to produce drinks and sell them, but they don't worry about more." ”

"Yes, children, don't worry about adults, it's serious to go home and read well, the boss of Sanxing Company has said, if you children are excellent in character and learning, even if the family has no money for you to continue studying, Sanxing Company will also use the scholarship funds set up for you to study in college."

Generally, after someone has said this, as long as someone happens to hear it, the villagers who hear it will answer:

"Yes, Mr. Kong is really a good person, not to mention this grant, and what kind of medical subsidy, living allowance for the lonely and widowed elderly, he really has a heart."

"Yes, yes, next year will expand the road for our village, I heard that Mr. Kong used to be an old farmer who was digging in the soil like us, and he is really the only one who will put himself in our shoes and think for us."

In the craze of this tree at the end of 99, the two titles of Mr. Kong and Sanxing Company were often mentioned by the vast number of farmers in Kapok City in different ways on different occasions, but every time Mr. Kong or Sanxing Company was mentioned, the tone of these people was unusually cordial and excited.

However, before that, Sanxing Company launched the plan of planting fruit trees in the city, although it was supported by the municipal government, and the relevant departments of the three districts and two counties under its jurisdiction also vigorously carried out publicity and appeal, and also issued indicators to the townships and villages, but the effect was not significant.

There are two reasons for this: First, in the years before this, the government had also issued plans to increase peasants' economic incomes, such as planting mulberry and silkworms, artificially planting fungi, raising rabbits in households, and growing vegetables in greenhouses, but very little of them were effective.

The vast number of peasant compatriots, who had been excited about these plans of the government with high expectations at the beginning, but had failed again and again, were no longer interested in much and did not dare to try without hesitation.

Second, because Kong Xinggang was worried about money, he did not completely adopt Yu Mingyue's suggestion at first, but directly used Manager Sun's plan.

In the future, Sanxing Company promises to purchase fruits at a price not less than a certain amount, provide access to the village where fruit trees are planted, provide long-term technical guidance to farmers who grow fruits, and collect the cost price of each seedling in the first year.

This plan did get the support of the city, but when the policy was lowered to the farmers in the villages and communities, very few people were interested in planting fruit trees.

Regardless of whether you believe it or not, Sanxing Company can buy fruits for a long time, but the price of a few cents per sapling to one yuan or two yuan has made many farmers regress.

In 1999, the peasants really had little money in their hands, and even less money to spare.

When calling on farmers to plant fruit trees, Sanxing Company focused on purchasing fruit tree seedlings from the city and other places, but there were too few people who could respond.

It was also under the boredom that Yu Mingyue's plan to buy people's hearts and improve farmers' enthusiasm for planting trees was adopted.

And in order to plant the backlog of saplings as quickly as possible, Kong Xinggang also listened to Yu Mingyue's new proposal, and each village registered the number of types of saplings received by each household, and the seedling money was deducted at the same price when Sanxing Company purchased fruit for the first time a few years later.

In this way, the initial investment of planting fruit trees has been greatly reduced, and the position of Sanxing Company has been further demonstrated, and the majority of farmers have less worries.

Kong Xinggang was a little unbalanced in his heart when he was forced to increase so many preferential benefits, and after thinking about it, his head was hot and he said that he wanted to speak on TV once, so that the vast number of peasant compatriots in the city would know who gave them these benefits.

Therefore, in the kapok news for a week, he personally called on the city's farmers to plant fruit trees, and in it, he said all the items that did not write into the plan to benefit the people, and said it affectionately, which set up his image of a farmer entrepreneur who cares about the vast number of farmers and vows not to forget his roots.

Since then, the dispute between the uncle and nephew has ended with Kong Xinggang losing to Yu Mingyue again, but Kong Xinggang has also become famous in the agricultural circles of Kapok City.

Among the hundreds of thousands of fellow peasants in Kapok City, basically people who have a TV at home, have listened to his warm and simple speech calling on everyone to plant fruit trees on the news broadcast of Kapok Channel, and have remembered his name and appearance.

But now, everyone likes to affectionately call him with the word 'Mr. Kong.'

It's not that you use a customary title because you are not familiar with it, but because you have too much gratitude and respect, you use an honorific title. (To be continued......)
