Chapter 87 Irrigation Equipment Planting Grass and Desertification Control

The next step is to talk about the future development of the farm, and the first thing mentioned is the purchase of irrigation equipment.

Qin Wu has a calm temperament, and he has always been inclined to "either you don't buy it, or buy the best if you want to", so he suggested: "I recommend buying an Israeli drip irrigation system, because their pipes are of the best quality, and I know a well-known agricultural technology company, where you can buy equipment!"

Qiu Hao listened to the silence, Israel is a country established by the Jews in the desert, and the Jews have been wandering for many years, and they are also famous for their wealth, once the country is founded, it will naturally spend a lot of effort to control the desert, after years of efforts, in terms of seawater desalination and ultra-water-saving drip irrigation technology, it has been at the world's top level, and it also makes the world talk about the desert, will think of the super-water-saving drip irrigation system.

However, Qiu Hao felt that the ultra-water-saving drip irrigation system was extremely water-saving, but it was also because it was too careful, but it was too cumbersome, and shook his head and said: "Don't drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation."

"Sprinkler irrigation?" Qin Wu frowned slightly and said, "Well, sprinkler irrigation is also sold, and the quality is equally good, but what kind do you want to buy?"

The price of sprinkler irrigation system varies, it takes hundreds or thousands to install an acre in China, if you buy better quality imported goods, the price will increase several times, if Qinghuan Farm 20,000 acres of sandy land to install sprinkler irrigation system, then at least it will cost more than 10 million.

Qiu Hao didn't think much about it, and said directly: "The farm has to be installed, don't care about the price, just pick the best one to buy!"

Qin Wu nodded and didn't speak, the gold lord let go, and did it.

Nan Chengxian said at this time: "Using large-scale irrigation equipment requires electricity, but not a single telephone pole on the farm side is useless, what should I do?"

Qiu Hao frowned and said: "Then find a way to pull electricity from the Lunmin Desert Highway, this matter needs to be discussed with the Minfeng government, I think they will agree, it is really not possible, it is a big deal to build a small power station by yourself."

The country allows private to build small power stations, if the power generation is less, you can only use yourself, if more, you can consider selling electricity to the country, and in the hinterland of the desert to build a small power station, the simplest is to use diesel generators to generate electricity, want to be longer, is to use solar and wind power generation, as for the capital investment, it depends on the type and scale of power generation, generally tens of thousands of pieces are enough.

After talking about irrigation, Zhou Jianshe opened his mouth and said, "Brother Qiu, we should recruit regular employees."

Qiu Hao was stunned when he heard this, before signing the contract with the Minfeng government, they had already become the Beijing Qinghuan Farm Company, but in terms of personnel, there have always been only five people, as for the people who planted trees a few days ago, they were actually only hired temporarily, and in his absence, they had nothing to do and had dispersed.

He thought for a moment and said: "I originally wanted to wait until the staff dormitory was built on the sand before recruiting people, but the house will have to wait for a long time, and it is not good to drag it all the time, so let's recruit people first, do you have any suggestions in this regard?"

"Yes, you can refer to the regimental field in the new province and recruit all the veterans, if it really doesn't work, just go and dig people!" Zhou Jianshe replied, touching his nose when he said about the back.

When it comes to the new provincial regimental field, it will be linked to the new provincial production and construction corps, which is the last existing production and construction corps in China, which is a provincial and ministerial-level unit, with a total of 14 divisions, 174 agricultural and animal husbandry regiments, and a population of about 2.5 million, of which mainly Han people, while Minfeng belongs to the Hotan Di district and is stationed in the 14th Agricultural Division.

Qiu Hao said with a smile: "Just dig people, just recruit veterans, and leave this matter to you!"

Zhou Jianshe didn't shirk it, and asked again: "It's easy to recruit people, but the salary needs to be set first, and it's best to be higher than the average income of the group!"

"What is the average income of the group now?"

Qiu Hao didn't ask about the salary, because the group field is a special existence integrating agriculture, industry, commerce, and trade, and the personnel can contract the land of the group field, and it all depends on the individual to earn more or less.

"The regimental field is different, and the per capita income is also different, let's say that the 47th regimental field of the 14th Agricultural Division, last year's per capita annual income was 20,000, and this year is not over, but it is expected to be higher than last year, but last year's 20,000 is only the agricultural income of the regimental field, if you count the non-agricultural income, about 40,000 a year!"

Qiu Hao thought about it, about 40,000 a year, then the average daily is 11, which is nearly double the 200 a day given by Qinghuan Company, but he has no idea of reducing his salary, all because the conditions in the hinterland of the desert are much worse than the edge of the desert, and the salary is not high, so he said: "The salary is still the same, you can promise five insurances and one housing fund, and there is also a bonus at the end of the year, tentatively set at 20,000, and the number of recruits is the same as before, maintaining 150 people!"

After Qiu Hao finished speaking, he suddenly said to Luo Suwei: "Old watch, we have suggestions for the farm, but you didn't speak?"

Luo Suwei smiled when he heard this, played with a red Fuji in his hand, and said: "Well, when we first came, we said that we wanted to plant fruit trees, such as fragrant pears, red dates, walnuts, etc., but now we ......."

Qin Wu shook his head and said, "Up to now, what do you still want to do."

If it is in the outer Gobi, it is still possible to build an orchard, but as for the desert hinterland with harsh conditions, this cannot be considered.

Luo Suwei smiled bitterly: "How can it, in fact, I want to say that if you can't plant fruit trees, you can also plant some flowers and plants, add some color to the farm, and look at the yellow sand every day, I can't lift my energy!"

"Flowers and plants?"

Several people in the room were a little stunned, but immediately some people agreed, Nan Chengxian clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, sand control is like this, planting trees and grasses are matched with each other, so as to effectively reduce the blowing of sand!"

Qin Wu also praised: "Heh, the row spacing set by the rat for Populus euphratica and S. jujube is so large, you can plant some other drought-tolerant plants in the middle!"

While several people were talking, Zhou Jianshe already had an idea, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have to plan well, you can't plant it casually, I think it's better to plant pasture!" Personally, I'm very optimistic about 'Satawang' because it can grow on mobile sand dunes and can grow back out of the sand even after 10 days of sandy weather, it can be buried in the sand, so it is very suitable for the farm, what do you think? ”

"Satawan...... Not bad! Qiu Hao nodded when he heard this, everyone who controls sand knows that sand is prosperous, this plant is known just by listening to the name, the more the wind and sand grow, the more prosperous it is, although it is an exaggeration, but it also seems that this crop is very extraordinary.

In fact, Satawang is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Fabaceae yellow celery, also known as erect yellow celery, hemp bean seedling, and sand king, which is drought-resistant, cold-resistant, barren-resistant, salt-resistant, and sand-resistant, and is widely distributed in the northwest, and is an excellent forage grass that can be used to improve barren mountains and fix sand.

"How do you grow satawang?" Nan Chengxian asked.

Zhou Jianshe replied without thinking about it: "Nonsense, of course, seeds are used to plant pasture, and if you are sandy, you need to use three catties of seeds for one acre, which is enough!"

"But it's October, and it's hot in the desert, can you plant it?" Luo Suwei said worriedly.

Planting trees in the desert is not the same as planting grass, planting trees requires digging deep pits, and the roots are not so hot under the half-meter sand layer, but planting grass requires grass seeds, and it can't be buried too deep, so you have to face the high temperature of the desert, but how to germinate at that high temperature, and the grass seeds can ensure that they are not scalded to death is very good!

Zhou Jianshe looked at everyone and coughed dryly: "Satawang can be planted all year round, cough!" Even if the conditions of the farm are a little harder, after a while in winter, you should always be able to plant, but it is better not to delay it for too long, because the early growth of satawang is very slow and fragile, if it does not grow before the wind and sand come in March next year, it will be miserable! ”

Qiu Hao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard Zhou Jianjian's words, no matter how famous Satawang was, it was indeed fragile in the early stage of growth, he thought of the sand layer of fifty or sixty degrees... Even when it reaches a high temperature of 70 degrees, it is guessed that even the seeds of the system optimization will not grow.

Everyone was silent, they had just discovered something very meaningful, but they had to wait for a while, which was uncomfortable.

After a while, Luo Suwei raised Erlang's legs, grinned sideways: "Heh, it's just planting grass, why do you have to use seeds to plant it, dig it directly from elsewhere, and plant it like a tree?"
