Wu De returned to the meeting room of the Executive Committee: "It will take twenty days to arrive!" Wu Nanhai definitely has an opinion. ”

"I can't help it if I have an opinion. From Nanbao to Bairen, according to the ancient standard road is not close, Nanbao itself is hilly, the road is not easy to walk" Ma Qianzhuo looked at the map for a long time, "simply put the simple road to Nanbao that is ready to be built next year in advance." For a while, the emergency requisition can be sent by the villages, and in the long run, it is necessary to have roads. ”

Nanbao area is a place where Lingao mineral resources are relatively concentrated, including lignite, limonite, peat, kaolin, limestone, etc., and many agricultural and forestry resources and tungsten ore in Li District. It has great practical value for the industry and agriculture of the group. However, due to the long-term inconvenience of transportation, and the fact that there was a Ming army's guard city near Nanbao, the connection between the crossing group and Nanbao was very weak, and so far, only exploration teams, bandit detachments and trade caravans to the Li District had been there. The construction of roads will not only greatly benefit from the use of local resources, but also further strengthen the connection with Lingoli District. At present, because of the inconvenience of roads, a trade team is sent to Nantong every two or three months. It is difficult to make full use of the materials in the area, and the infiltration control of the area is not enough.

"I'm in favor of building roads." Wu De said: "Otherwise, this kind of levy and issuance will be normalized, and it will be a great harsh policy. I also have a lot of contact with the local fathers and elders, and I feel that the common people are most afraid of endless errand labor. I can understand this, the most important thing in the countryside is Ding Zhuang, and if there is no strong labor in the family, it is like the sky has collapsed. With the road, it is much more convenient to go back and forth, and you can also use vehicles to transport materials and improve transportation efficiency. ”

It is not far to go to Nanbao according to modern standards, starting from Bairencheng, going up along the Wenlan River, taking the S306 highway, passing through Lingao County, and going south into the hilly area, it will not be long before it is the location of modern Nanbao Town. The whole journey is less than 31 kilometers. It's only a 20~30-minute journey by car, but in this time and space, it's enough to walk for two or three days. The dirt roads in the wilderness, each village has to bring coal, Kao shoulders to push it, and the labor consumed can be imagined.

He rang the bell on the table. A young boy of fifteen or sixteen appeared at the door of the office. He wears a stand-up collar student uniform made of black homespun cloth and wears a wooden entry and exit nameplate on his chest.

"Did you call me? Heads. "The boy was respectful and didn't speak Mandarin very well.

"Please come to my office the People's Commissar of Transportation and the manager of the Construction Corporation." Ma Qianzhu said majestically.

"Right away, chief!" The boy nodded solemnly, turned and walked out.

This office etiquette education is not bad. Ma Qianzhu admired the etiquette between superiors and subordinates in the leaders' offices in Soviet films—serious, formal, and Soviet-like meticulousness.

The boy's name is Hou Wenyong, and he is an orphan who was taken in by Guangzhou Station with his sister. Because the sister and brother have a good cultural foundation, the elder sister entered the Ministry of Health and is now receiving nursing studies; Hou Wenyong was admitted to the Military and Political School after passing the political examination of the General Administration of Political Security, where he studied three days a week and worked in the Planning Commission for three days.

Shan Daoqian, People's Commissar of Transportation, was racking his brains at the track dispatching center in Bopu to design a railway operation blockage plan, and the track laying in the entire Bopu area was quite dense, and the original simple flag dispatch efficiency of Shan Kao was too low.

Suddenly he was called to the office of the Planning Commission, and he was a little abrupt. There hasn't been much going on in the transportation department lately, mainly to carry out maintenance and upgrades to existing roads.

Ma Qianzhuo saw that the two of them were coming, so he put forward the idea of preparing to build the Bairen-Nanbao simple road with them.

"I'm in a hurry." Mei Wan felt abrupt, "The rainy season has only begun now, and it will be very difficult to build roads if the rain continues." It's the same if you fix it in the dry season. ”

"The purpose of the road is to transport the mineral resources of the Nanbao area," Mr. Ma said. "Now Nanbao has the resources we urgently need, and we can't transport them!"

"If the Executive Committee agrees, our Ministry of Communications has no opinion." Although Shan Daoqian is majoring in railways, he is also okay with highways. He looked at the map and asked:

"The goods shipped abroad are mainly minerals?"

"Yes."

"How much traffic passes through each day and night?"

"I don't know." Ma Qianzhuo said that Nanbao's mineral resources have great potential for development, but it is difficult to say how much mining capacity can be reached at present.

"For bulk cargo transportation, the only means of transportation that can be kao according to our existing conditions is ox carts." Shan Daoqian calculated, "I have to find Li Chiqi to order a new heavy-duty truck." The number of cattle is also not enough. ”

"Regarding the problem of cattle, you contact the Foreign Trade Committee -- they are now in charge of managing Changhua Fort, and ask them to purchase another batch from the Li people -- Changhua Fort itself still has some cattle herds......

"Okay."

"The pavement requirements for this kind of highway are not high." Mei Wan said, "However, the Nanbao area is a hilly area, and the roads are probably very undulating." Heavy-duty trucks may not be able to pass. ”

Ma Qianzhuo said, "The Nanbao area is hilly and not mountainous, so it is not so huge that you have to dig tunnels to split rocks and dig tunnels. ”

"I asked people to check what route the construction of the S306 highway from Lingao County to Nanbao Town in the 20th century was based on." Mei Wan flipped through her workbook, "I'll organize people to explore when I go back." He remembered one more thing:

"There is an inspection department in Nanbao, which is dedicated to checking the ...... of people entering and leaving Li District."

"It's okay, the patrol there is very familiar." Ma Qianzhuo said that it didn't matter, "After reaching a peace agreement with the county, this inspection also has a benefit, and he has never been verbose about our caravans to and from the Li District. Building roads shouldn't be too long-winded. ”

"And the Acropolis found in 221629050705 mission."

"The location of Acropolis is relatively remote, and the road can be avoided. But you don't have to go far away - it's the same as the county seat. As the chief of the general staff, Ma Qianzhuo knew the situation in the city for a long time, and scoffed at the combat effectiveness of this so-called military fortress, "They will only hide in the city." I think this time the road construction task will be handed over to the army to do a good job. If the Ming army in the guard does not know each other, they will simply rectify this guard city. ”

The matter of the Bairencheng-Nanbao simple highway was decided in this way. The Committee of Agriculture, headed by Wu Nanhai, did not know that its farmland development had triggered many follow-up incidents like a butterfly effect. At this time, the Committee of Agriculture concentrated on the construction of water conservancy in the farmland of the United States and Taiwan, and on the other hand, strengthened the post-management of the first batch of rice sown in the spring of February, and strived to release a satellite in the Shiyan field. Create momentum for the subsequent promotion of agricultural technology in the Tiandihui.

In terms of the accumulated temperature of modern Lingao, rice can be sown in January of the Gregorian calendar, but Wu Nanhai out of caution and according to the habits of local farmers, postponed the sowing date to February of the Gregorian calendar of that year - it turns out that his concern has some reason, and there is an extreme minimum temperature of 3~5 °C in January.

During the seedling period of rice, the temperature should be at least 10°C or above. Although there is no accumulated temperature data for the whole year of Lingao, Wu Nanhai judged that Lingao in 1629 was likely to be planted only with two plants. Due to the lack of accumulated temperature, the harvest can be delayed until May and June, and the second harvest can be harvested in October due to the shorter time. It was the same message he had received from the peasants. Obviously, there is a reason why Lingao does not plant three crops of rice in this time and space.

In February, the first batch of rice was sown with 500 mu, of which 200 mu were high-yield shiyan fields that had been transformed by water conservancy last year. The other 300 acres are the so-called "Wangtiantian". In addition to hybrid rice seeds, Wu Nanhai also sowed a number of short-legged lodging-resistant rice seeds in these 300 acres of Wangtian field, to see what kind of results these rice seeds could achieve in the absence of modern agricultural materials.

After sowing, there were no herbicides, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and Wu Nanhai and Fa Shilu squatted in the rice field every day, constantly exchanging farming experience with Wang Tian and his agricultural workers. Think of various local ways to deal with the various problems we face.

In the absence of modern agricultural inputs, farming was initially a painful affair for COAG personnel who were accustomed to modern agriculture. None of them really realized how great petrochemical agriculture was when it was sprayed by the environmentally-friendly petty bourgeoisie.

Originally, only 50 kilograms of chemical fertilizer per mu were needed to ensure high yield, but now the bottom fertilizer of one mu of land needs to be half a ton, and several times of top dressing, planting 200 acres of high-yield fields will almost consume the fertilizer accumulation that Wu Nanhai has been operating for more than half a year, making the fertilizer of the other 300 mu seriously insufficient.

Then there are weeds, rice rust spots, rice blasts, insect pests, ...... All kinds of problems about the growing season of rice appeared in front of them one by one. These problems are easy to solve in modern times, and they have become heavy labor here. Before the Ministry of Chemical Industry produced calcium chlorate, weeding was manually operated by Wang Tian with agricultural workers. As for pesticides, I found a variety of soil pesticide formulas in the big library, and also set up a handicraft workshop to dispense medicines, and if one didn't work, I changed it again...... Finally, all the difficulties have come over.

Now that the rice filling period is coming to an end, the paddy fields began to drain and dry the fields under Wan Lihui's suggestion. Drying the field can reduce the lodging of rice, reduce the occurrence of insect pests, harden the ground, and facilitate harvesting. It is very beneficial for the increase in production. However, there is a certain skill in mastering the timing - judging the right time is also the most important task of the backbone of farming. Wan Lihui's family has been planting rice for generations and has a lot of experience in this. (！
