Chapter 244: Conference on Agriculture
Thanks to the New Life Movement spearheaded by Yang Wenli himself, the business of ready-to-wear shops is the best.
This year's urban construction is mainly the construction of large-scale sewer projects, and in ancient times when there was no large-scale equipment, they all relied on shoulders and hands, and the progress of the project was very slow.
Since the distribution of various scientific research tasks, Yang Wenli only needs to check the progress of research and development from time to time, and his main energy is also focused on government construction, agricultural development, the construction of commercial order, the popularization of national education, and army building.
One day, Yang Wenli held an important meeting with officials from the education department, and after meeting the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, Yang Wenli presided over the meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, education is the foundation of a country, and Japan has done a very good job of this, and they have implemented rural learning, and the literacy rate of the people is very high, which is worth learning from.
I want our country to achieve a 100% literacy rate, which is a difficult task, and we need to adopt a two-step strategy.
When we only had a limited number of teachers, we first trained literate people, who were already literate, but the way of reading was different, and I invented the Pinyin literacy method, and I believed that with just a few months of study, they would be able to speak fluent Chinese.
The purpose of training literacy and people first is to select teachers among them, and the next step is to promote education for all.
There are two parts, the first is the education of school-age children, and we want to establish an education law that stipulates that all school-age children, regardless of gender, have the right and obligation to receive education.
This was compulsory and included the children of slaves, the children of slaves attending school, free meals at school, and a lunch meal for the children of commoners.
The standard of food should be set a little higher, there should be fish, meat, milk, eggs and other high-protein foods, and children should have a glass of milk and an egg per day per day.
Children are the future of the motherland, and studies have shown that a reasonable supply of nutrients can make children grow taller and stronger, which is of great significance to our country.
The second part is adult education, and I require all citizens to learn Chinese, at least to be able to read and write.
Because adults have to work and work during the day, we adopt the method of night school, teaching for two hours every night, until the people can pass the simple final exam, then they will be issued a graduation certificate, and those who do not pass the exam will continue to study.
This diploma will be linked to many job opportunities in the future, such as military recruitment, such as government positions, etc.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, officials were appointed to the system, but when the literacy rate of the whole population is universalized, our country will adopt a democratic electoral system, and the promotion of officials will be decided by the people's vote, which is also a rare opportunity for you.
All right! That's all for today's meeting, adjourned! ”
Yang Wenli announced that after the end of the meeting, he took the lead in leaving the venue amid the congratulations of the courtiers.
The next day, Yang Wenli took officials from the agricultural department to the fields to hold a special meeting on agriculture.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows that agriculture is the foundation of a country, but most people do not think deeply, what are the benefits of developing agriculture? How can agriculture be developed?
Today, I'm going to talk to everyone.
Social progress is closely related to the development of agriculture, and it is precisely because of agriculture that some people can be out of production, become soldiers to defend the country, become officials, manage the people's livelihood, become businessmen and colonize the world, become scientific and technological workers, and research advanced science and technology.
People have time to learn culture, promote the development of social civilization, people can have enough food and clothing, and can significantly improve the health and longevity of the people.
It can be seen that the importance of agriculture to a country is self-evident, but this is not enough, we should increase agricultural output, reduce labor costs, so that more people do other industries, this is the true meaning of agriculture is fundamental, not just words.
So how can agricultural output be improved? What about reducing labor costs? We have unique cement building materials, and we should build high-standard agricultural irrigation and drainage facilities.
The government will provide materials, such as cement bricks, etc., and the people will work to build barrages and dams, and artificially raise the water level, so that the irrigation canals should be higher than the surface, and the people can release water as long as they open the opening, instead of carrying water trucks.
In order to prevent flooding and damaging seedlings, the drainage canal should be one meter below the surface and fifty centimeters wide.
All drains should be as straight as possible, so that irrigation and drainage are faster.
Farming is inseparable from fertilizer, I used to farm, I have some experience, my method is to dig a manure pond, go to the mountains or fields to cut some grass, or the orange stalks in the farmer's own field, drizzle human and animal manure, cover it with soil, let it ferment for a period of time, the standard is that the manure pond is no longer bubbling and no longer heated, so that you get high-quality organic fertilizer.
Building a high-standard manure pond with concrete on the edge of each field doesn't cost much, but it solves the fertilizer problem for the people, so why don't we do it?
The last thing that has the greatest impact on crops is pests and diseases, and our method is to cultivate natural enemies of pests and diseases, such as frogs, rice and fish farming, and so on.
There is also lighting oil lamps in the field at night, everyone should have heard the story of moths fighting fires, the adult state of insects is moths, especially in the season of high incidence of pests and diseases, which can significantly reduce the impact of pests and diseases.
Another point is that seeds are very important, not only to select seeds every year, but also to find ways to improve the quality of seeds, such as artificial breeding in special places, and constantly strengthen the quality of seeds.
The above are ways to increase food production, so how to reduce labor costs?
We should design some convenient agricultural equipment, such as each farmer should have a chicken cart, which is more labor-saving than shoulder-to-shoulder, as well as threshing machines, windmills and other agricultural equipment for harvesting rice.
In addition, every peasant household should have at least one ploughing ox, and the ploughing equipment should be improved, so that every adult peasant should be able to cultivate at least 50 acres of land.
This is an overarching goal, and I hope you will find a way to achieve it.
In the future, the government's evaluation of officials in the agricultural sector will not listen to verbal reports, and everything will be based on data, and how much will the grain output increase every year? How much has the per capita arable land of farmers increased? How much has the income of the peasants increased? How much arable land does the country increase each year? Just look at these four data, everything else is virtual.
In addition to agriculture, we should also vigorously develop animal husbandry and aquaculture, earnestly increase the supply of high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, and fish, and earnestly improve and enhance the people's living standards.
All right! That's all I have to say, the key is to see if you can do it, we'll see you next time! ”
After Yang Wenli finished speaking, he turned around and left, and in the compliments of the officials, he left without looking back, and he was going to the next department for a meeting and investigation.
