Standing on the ridge of the field, in front of him was a large rice field, and in a field right under his nose, the crops were 'demonstrating' to him what lodging was.

It was supposed to be a neat rice field, but in some places there were large depressions, and many of the rice fields that should have been upright have been crooked, just like the trees that were blown down by the wind in Yu Wenwen's memory.

Lodging, as the name suggests, is that the crops that grow upright become crooked, and in serious cases, even the whole plant crawls to the ground, and now the crops in front of them still have a conscience but are crooked.

"Envoy, if the crops fall to the ground, the yield will be seriously reduced, or even the harvest will be lost!" A clerk said next to him that Fang Cai Yuwen had just come ashore and immediately went to see the scene after hearing their report, and under their guidance, he went to a paddy field to check the situation.

"Reduced production? Lost? Yu Wenwen realized the seriousness of the situation, although it was the scorching sun, but his heart was instantly cold, the water conservancy facilities survived the heavy rainstorm and functioned smoothly, he thought that this would be able to ensure a bumper harvest, but there was still bad news waiting for him.

"Envoy, this crop can be big or small, if it is not handled properly" The official was a little stunned when he caught a glimpse of Yu Wenwen, knowing that this person probably didn't understand the important point, and coughed dryly to bring the situation he was facing one by one.

There are many reasons for crop lodging, among which wind disaster and heavy rain are the main culprits, and the lodging situation is roughly divided into two types: one is root falling, that is, the root is shallow and unstable, and the lodging of flat ground occurs when it is slightly invaded by wind and rain.

The other is the stem fall, because the crop stem is not strong, can not afford the upper weight, plus storms and other reasons to different degrees of lodging, now part of the crops outside Xiyang City lodging is the second situation.

Because of the rainy season, after several heavy rains, there was a heavy rainstorm a few days ago, and the dense rain hit the rice ears and increased the burden on the stems, and it is not surprising that many rice lodging occurred due to the strong winds.

As soon as the lodging appears, it can be determined that at least one to three percent of the yield will be reduced, and if it is not properly disposed of afterwards, most of the production may be reduced, of course, if the former root falls, it is basically a dead harvest, even if it is rescued afterwards, then the harvest is almost the same as the harvest.

"What does the state government say?" Yu Wenwen asked. The official replied that Xu Beijia was convening a meeting to discuss countermeasures, and many experienced old farmers had been invited to the state office.

"You go back to the state government first, and say that the official already knows." Yu Wenwen said, at this time he had recovered from the shock, "After the result is discussed, let Xu Beijia report to the official." ”

Seeing the officials rush back to the city, Yu Wenwen looked at the paddy field in front of him and was stunned for a while, and then left, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to be in a hurry, he is not a farming expert and does not plan to burn incense and pray, and taking rescue measures in time is the first priority.

He knows that he is not a person who is so energetic that he must bow down to everything, he will not be irrelevant, and it is the king to use talents, since there are state adjutants, let them share the heavy responsibilities, and do things like fighting with the army, as the commander, he only needs to manage the generals.

Don't know the way? Go find the guide! What do you need to prepare for crossing the river? Anyway, when the time comes, the army can't cross the river, so you hang the southeast branch!

Yu Wenwen is not a pervert with a strong desire to control, as long as the orders given can be successfully completed, he doesn't mind how his subordinates do it, of course, the kind of angry things don't need to be talked about, and the main purpose is to let his team get fully exercised.

If a team is capable of taking the lead, if the leader has a fever and a cold, he can't perform his duties normally, and his subordinates can't carry out any work without the backbone, and such a team has no future.

"So, with me, the black-hearted boss, you just accept your fate!" ……

In the back hall of the state government, Yu Wenwen sat on the head and listened to Xu Shao's report, he just entered the city and didn't even return home and rushed directly to the state office, and Xu Shao's emergency meeting was just over, and the rescue measures for the lodging of crops were also preliminarily formulated.

The consequences of lodging can be big or small, the specific situation should be analyzed in detail, the situation of lodging of crops outside Xiyang City is not just today, after the heavy rain a few days ago, the state government received reports from farmers one after another, and Xu Shao, who had just finished guarding the embankment, went out of the city to inspect non-stop.

The burden of rectifying water conservancy was transferred to Hao Wubo, Xu Shao was anxious to invest in the next wave of 'emergency rescue and disaster relief', as a civil affairs officer, his responsibility is very heavy, and the harvest of crops directly affects this year's rent adjustment in Bazhou, that is, fiscal revenue.

The lodging of farmland in Xiyang County accounted for 30% of the total, which basically occurred during the heavy rainstorm, and Xu Shao, who had little contact with farming, did not know much what the lodging was, and it took a lot of effort to figure out the relevant situation and the consequences.

Lodging has always been a common problem encountered in farming, farmers also have a lot of experience in preventing crop lodging, first of all, before the heavy rain to open a ditch to drain the water, not to make the field mud not soft, and then pay attention to observe that once there is a lodging situation, it will be artificially helped up, two to three clumps and with straw to tie the waist steadily.

With this measure, many rice fields have survived the previous heavy rains, but the last rainstorm is really rare, not only the rainfall is not small, but also the main culprit of the lodging situation in some rice fields.

It is useless to regret it at this point, how to take measures to save and minimize the loss is the most important, fortunately, the farmers also have some experience in dealing with this situation, and everyone worked together to quickly formulate feasible remedial measures:

First of all, it is necessary to drain the water in time to avoid the lodging rice leaves being soaked in water for too long, and to avoid the germination of rice ears and the mold and rot of the stems.

Secondly, different measures should be taken depending on the severity of the lodging situation, and the rice with no heavy lodging should not be supported by the rice tie, because the rice plants are generally homeopathic backwards, and after three to five days, the rice plants will automatically adjust to let the leaves and ears automatically.

Especially in the paddy field where the lodging situation is very light, the automatic recovery ability of the rice plant is very strong, if these rice are supported and tied to the handle, it will artificially destroy and destroy the distribution of rice ears, ears and stems, and rice leaves, which will not only damage the rice plant but also make the lodging loss more serious.

For rice with severe lodging, as long as it is not completely lodging to the ground, it can be rescued by manually bundling it into small handfuls, which can avoid the failure of the harvest.

In addition, for lodging paddy fields, the amount of irrigation in the later stage should be strictly controlled, of course, this requires experienced farmers to guide on the spot.

"Organize them, instruct others on how to adjust, and by the way, the cost will come from the state government." Yu Wenwen said, he saw Xu Shao, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, "I've been running around outside, and I've worked hard to stay behind." ”

"Hey, where the responsibility is, where is there any hard work or not." Xu Shao waved his hand, although he looked tired, he was very energetic, he had personally participated in many things since he took office as a state driver, and he had grown a lot in less than a year.

"Chengye has also lost a lot of weight, and after the autumn harvest, I have to let you two take a big vacation." Yu Wenwen is sincere, Xu Shao and Hao Wubo have been really busy for more than half a year.

During the Chinese New Year, I didn't have time to go back to reunite with my family, and the two of them lived in the backyard of the state government with the staff group.

"Envoy, I'm afraid I'll have to do it again after the autumn harvest, where will the two of us have a chance to take a vacation." Xu Shao directly debunked Yu Wenwen's 'fake' kindness, and the person in front of him who worked hard to raise 5,000 soldiers was not to take a look.

Five thousand soldiers, if it is according to the kind of military raising method of generals elsewhere, it is nothing, the key is that the food of the Hulin Army has always been of high standard, and Xu Shao feels speechless when he thinks about the consumption of people eating horses and chewing every day.

Their Xu family naturally has a trilogy, otherwise they can't take firm root in Yuezhou, and their grandfather and father can serve as the assassins of Yuezhou one after another, not only by their vision, but also by having a good 'knife' in their hands, and the consumption of Yuwen Wen's soldiers is beyond the level of their domestic tribulation.

The Xu family raised the troops for self-preservation, but the plan of the soldier in front of him was not small, Xu Shao probably knew Yu Wenwen's ambitions, so he was deeply skeptical that he would be able to take a safe vacation after the autumn harvest.

Tigers may not eat people, but tigers that have tasted human blood will not let go of living people, Yuwenwen has snatched a lot of benefits from Chen Guo on the other side of the river, and it is impossible to stop doing it.

"One piece at a time, the knife will rust if it is not sharpened, and besides, there is a shortage of labor in Bazhou, and the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River will be repaired next year." Yu Wenwen is really 'ready to move', and his footsteps will never stop.

"By the way, if there is any surplus farming cattle over there, we can buy them with a lot of money." Yu Wenwen thought of something else, the water conservancy has to be repaired to open up the wasteland, and the wasteland must have ploughing oxen to pull the plow, if the ploughing ox is insufficient, people can only pull the plow.

Xu Shao shook his head when he heard this, where would anyone think that there were more cultivated cattle in these years, his father had never heard of selling cultivated cattle in Yuezhou for many years, of course, if he bought piglets, it would be no problem, Yuwenwen used to collect piglets everywhere and was called 'Pig Tai Sui'.

"If there are calves or something, it's okay, anyway, it's not in a hurry this year, with the south bank embankment, those wastelands are enough to work after the autumn harvest."

"Envoy, if you open up the wasteland, you must prepare all the seeds, and you must also have farm tools, of course, it must be made of iron." Xu Shao also knew that he had to prepare in advance, "The iron selected by the river sand by the Ba River, is the iron practiced now useful?" ”

"I don't know, the iron material smelted by river sand iron selection is a little troublesome, and it can be used to make arrowheads, but if it is used to make hoes and shovels, it is a little brittle" Yu Wenwen was a little discouraged when he thought of river sand iron selection, because this is a new ore source, how to train the right iron material is still being explored.

But this was all a few months ago, Yu Wenwen felt that he had to make some progress after burning so much money, and iron to make hoes and shovels must be durable, so if it didn't work, he would use it to make sickles, after all, the autumn harvest was approaching.

"In any case, we must pass the lodging of the crops first, and wait until the autumn grain is in storage to breathe a sigh of relief." (To be continued.) )
