"That's what you said, that sounds good." As soon as Zhou Daqiang heard it, he knew that Li Zhigao's way was okay, at least the minimum margin policy could make everyone not have to worry about being hungry in a bad year, "But how can we ensure that this minimum compensation is paid on time?" ”

"It's very simple, I'll take out this money in advance before you farm." Li Zhigao smiled slightly, "I will take out this money to you in advance, and it will be used as an insurance fund." As for the money, find a place for yourselves to keep it, and appoint someone to take care of it. However, how about I send someone to check the amount once a month, and then announce it to the villagers in public, and if the amount is wrong, the person who cares for the money will be responsible. ”

"It's done!" Zhou Daqiang nodded, "If that's the case, I will respond on behalf of the villagers." ”

"Don't worry." Li Zhigao smiled, "If you want to enjoy this new initiative of mine, you have to send one person from each family, male or female, but you must be over sixteen years old and under forty years old." Don't worry, I'm not here for anything else, but mainly for you to come over for training and learning, in addition to learning how to read, how to plow the land, how to farm, how to fertilize, how to fight pesticides and how to make machines. ”

"You don't need this, do you?" Hearing this, Zhou Daqiang instinctively became vigilant, "We are all croppers in the field for decades, can we still farm?" As long as the seeds you provide are not boiled and there are no major problems, we can grow good crops. ”

"Don't be so confident just yet." Li Zhigao smiled, "That's it, it just so happens that the weather is good now, and it's still early, you come with me, I'll show you something." ”

After that, Li Zhigao took Zhou Daqiang and Wang Erbiao to another board house. After entering, I found that this was a seedling warehouse, and in addition to two air conditioners responsible for heat preservation, it was a layer of boxes, in which fresh rice seedlings were placed.

"This, this ......" Zhou Daqiang is knowledgeable, looking at this box of tender green and thick seedlings, he immediately knew that these are all good seedlings, much better than the seedlings he had planted before.

"How are these seedlings?" Li Zhigao asked with a smile.

"Good seedlings, rare good seedlings." Zhou Daqiang sighed.

"Not really." Li Zhigao smiled at the corner of his mouth, these are the seedlings specially cultivated from the breeding station in later generations, or the most suitable for planting in Anhui region, high-yield, drought-resistant, insect-resistant and lodging-resistant new super hybrid rice Y Liangyou 900, which is a big killer with a yield of more than 1000 kilograms per mu, and this thing not only has a high yield and good taste, but also is resistant to high temperature and low temperature, resistant to various insect pests and lodging...... In short, it is said that it is a variety of resistance, a variety of easy to feed, especially suitable for planting in the Yangtze River basin and the south of the Yangtze River.

When Li Zhigao bought this, the country was vigorously promoting this variety of rice, not to mention the low price, there are all kinds of preferential treatments, although it is said that higher yield, stronger resistance to rice varieties, but that is all experimental, and it is said to have genetically modified ingredients, not as good as Y Liangyou 900 has been tested for a long time, after all, this variety is not genetically modified.

"However, although the seedlings are good, they can't survive in our place." Zhou Daqiang shook his head and said.

"Oh? Why? Li Zhigao asked.

"Your seedlings look like rice." Zhou Daqiang said, "We don't rely on streams or rivers, and we lack water, so we plant upland rice or wheat, but this rice can't do it." ”

"What should I do, don't worry about this." Li Zhigao smiled and shook his hand, "You continue to follow me!" ”

Then, Li Zhigao took Zhou Daqiang to another larger board room, which is a warehouse of Li Zhigao.

After opening the door, I saw that it was full of various construction vehicles and agricultural machinery, which made everyone stunned.

Li Zhigao chose a self-propelled drilling machine and beckoned to everyone, and when everyone stood up, Li Zhigao started the car and drove the drilling machine out.

After that, it became Li Zhigao's personal mechanical show.

I saw Li Zhigao drive the drilling machine to the flat ground in the backyard of Zhuangzi, first stop at a location that had been selected a long time ago, and then start the drilling operation with the fully automated drilling machine.

The place chosen by Li Zhigao is not too far from the original well in Zhuangzi, and it happens to be in a depression, according to Li Zhigao's previous experience in the countryside, there is water in this place, even if it doesn't work, with the groundwater resources of this era, I'm afraid it won't be able to produce much water.

Sure enough, Li Zhigao's drilling machine only played for less than half an hour, but it was less than 20 meters underground, that is, about 17 meters, and the water came out below, and when Li Zhigao stopped the drilling machine and drove the drilling machine away, he found that the well had been filled with water, although because it had just been laid, the water was still very turbid, and it was not clear water, but everyone could see that this was a good well!

"Well, this thing is really fast." Zhou Daqiang swallowed his saliva, and then said, "But you, you don't plan to use well water to water the ground, right?" ”

"Isn't it possible?"

"It's not impossible, but you can't use well water to irrigate much land." Zhou Daqiang shook his head, "Unless you dig wells everywhere in the field, but that watering wheat or upland rice is still good, rice can't be." Rice is nothing else, it has to be silted fields, that is, the land is flooded with water, and the water needed is not a little bit, and it usually has to be irrigated by river water. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Well, this well is too mixed to use the water for the time being, so you keep coming with me! After Li Zhigao finished speaking, he drove the self-propelled drilling rig to the original well in Zhuangzi, pointed to the diesel engine pump that kept pumping water and said to Zhou Daqiang, who was stunned, "See, I have a water pump here, as long as there is water in the well, I can pump out the water continuously." Hmph, you know, before this, I had a well here, but not only can I support more than 1,000 people to drink water, but also let them take a bath every day, wash clothes, in short, there is no shortage of water. Why is there enough water? It's my pump! I also tell you, my pump has not been turned on 24 hours a day, it has to be turned on 24 hours a day, not to mention drinking water, even to water the ground, it is more than enough! ”

"This, this ......" Obviously, Zhou Daqiang didn't know what to say.

"It's a nice day." Li Zhigao looked at his head, it was only past nine o'clock, and said simply, "It's just right, let you see and understand!" ”

After speaking, Li Zhigao drove the self-propelled drilling machine again, took people back to the warehouse, and after that, Li Zhigao drove out a combined cultivator, and then in the stunned crowd, he began to cultivate the land alone.

This combined cultivator is the fastest rotary tiller used in ploughing the field, although the size of the ploughing is only 15 cm, but this size is enough to grow rice, no matter how deep it is. In addition, because it is a combined cultivator, after ploughing, it is followed by subsoiling tillage, harrowing, raking, suppression, leveling, raking, ridge raising, furrowing and other operations, simply put, it is a surname to do a good job in a variety of field operations such as cultivated land and land preparation, simplifying the operation process and improving the operation efficiency.

With this machine, if you open on flat land and keep working 24 hours a day, you can theoretically make more than 200 acres of land, and on average, you can make more than 8 acres in one hour.

Li Zhigao is obviously not an expert in opening this, so the speed has decreased, but it has also reached an astonishing speed of opening up nearly six acres of land in one hour, which can frighten everyone, so that slowly everyone stopped even doing military training, and they all gathered around to see the Western scenery.

Seeing this situation, the two instructors, Scott and Edward, were also very helpless, after all, the military spirit was scattered, and it was not easy to bring it, and in fact, they were also very curious about this machine, and they all followed it to see it, so they couldn't ask others.

After driving the combined cultivator for an hour and making out more than six acres of land, Li Zhigao saw that there were more and more people watching, and he didn't want to think about whether these people were running around during the training, but the mood of the people who came crazy became more and more excited, so after stopping, regardless of fatigue, he casually pointed to a platoon of engineers and asked them to follow him to help.

Next, Li Zhigao asked people to connect the original water pump to a long water pipe, which extended to the field he had just opened up, and then began to turn on the water pump and pump water along the ditch that had been laid out long ago.

Seeing the thick white water dragon sprayed out of the leather tube after the pump was fully turned on, everyone just watched quietly, and they were already surprised, after all, the previous series of mechanical demonstrations had given them too much impact.

However, watering the land is not as fast as arable land, especially watering rice fields, if you only rely on a well and a water pump, and it is to water the land, at least more than two hours per acre of land.

For this reason, Li Zhigao did not care whether the water of the newly dug well was still muddy, anyway, he was watering the ground, so he instructed people to install a water pump, connect the water pipe to the field, and open another water outlet.

Two high-power pumps and two wells can shorten the time to one acre of land per hour.

While waiting for the ground to be watered, Li Zhigao opened an automatic rice transplanting machine, and placed the seedlings in the seedling box of the automatic rice transplanting machine in full view.

Since this is a double-row rice transplanting fertilizer applicator, after placing the seedlings, Li Zhigao also put a special organic compound fertilizer for rice in another fertilizer box, so that you can carry out deep ploughing and fertilization at the same time as transplanting seedlings.

In fact, pesticides and fertilizers are the real killers of crop yields, if there are no pesticides and fertilizers, only rely on new breeding, the yield is not high, so when Li Zhigao bought high-yield seedlings, he also bought special high-efficiency organic compound fertilizers and organic pesticides. But then Li Zhigao thought about it again, organic compound fertilizer is just that, but pesticides, even if they are organic, unless they encounter a real insect plague, then it is better not to fight or not, as long as these farmers are trained well, let them manually remove insects and weeds. Although this may produce less than pesticides, it is less toxic to pesticides. As for the yield, because there are good rice varieties and high-efficiency compound fertilizers, coupled with irrigation to keep up, the yield may not be comparable with modern society, but in this era it is definitely the first in the world, and this is enough, with the situation of this world, the blind pursuit of high yield per unit area is actually not necessary.

Soon, when Li Zhigao explained the use of these machines to Zhou Daqiang, Marven and others for a long time, drank a cup of coffee, and ate a little snack, more than an hour had passed, and during this time, the water pump also watered more than one acre.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhigao took Zhou Daqiang and Marven to get on the rice transplanting machine together, and then drove the rice transplanting machine to start mechanized rice transplanting at a speed that was surprising again.

It only took half an hour, one acre of land was planted with all the seedlings, neat and very good-looking, this is the first time Li Zhigao used this machine, slowed down the speed, because according to the instructions, the theoretical maximum speed of this seated rice transplanting machine can be planted five acres of rice in one hour.

So far, at least one acre of arable land, land preparation, watering, transplanting, fertilization and other work, all completed, if let the manual to do, with the efficiency of local farmers at this time, every day non-stop, to do this, the fastest to do it will take seven days!

What is the concept of seven days of manual work, and only three or four hours with a machine? What efficiency? Moreover, if you really farm a large area, the efficiency will be even higher!

"How? What can this little gadget be returned to? Li Zhigao, who came down from the rice transplanter, washed his hands in the basin brought by the soldiers, and said to Zhou Daqiang, who was stunned next to him, "This is the power of science!" Are you convinced? ”

"Hey, I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced!" After speaking, Zhou Daqiang fell to his knees in despair, ignoring the mud on the ground.

Zhou Daqiang is not a fool, let alone a fool, he still had a thought before, thinking that the new owner also needs his own people to farm for him, after all, re-recruiting people to farm may not be as good as they do, but now looking at these machines, he suddenly understands that the other party actually doesn't need his own people at all. With his army and machines, he can directly expel his own people by force, and then use a small number of people to make these magical machines to farm, the cost is lower, the effect is better, and he doesn't have to be dragged down by his own people, at least if he changes himself, he will definitely do it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Daqiang stared at this scene again for a long time, then turned around and kowtowed solemnly to Li Zhigao: "Dongjia, I understand, you are a capable person, and you are really good for us, from now on, we will listen to you for everything, what you say, we will do!" ”
