Chapter 11 The need for a long-term view

Because the land on the sandbar has not yet been formed, it has not been distributed, and a total of more than 3,000 acres of rice have been lifted from the ground and more than 1,000 acres of lotus root fields have been cultivated. More than 1,000 acres of fish ponds. The remaining more than 10,000 acres, because of the low-lying terrain, are still the rivers of the Yunlong River and the Nanhe River. However, there is a small plateau along the South River that leads to the quarry.

Of the more than 100 households living in the quarry, 70 had to be relocated to Shazhou, because even the highest Nanzhang Street, which was the highest, had been raised by two metres with stones, considering the impact of flooding on the quarry. So these people gathered together, half a day to farm, half a day to clean up the course of the Nanhe River, and all the sand and soil dug out widened Nanzhang Street.

More than 100 families have children, so a similar method has been adopted in Shinu Village, where children between the ages of seven and twelve enter the Zhangjiameng School to study, and children over the age of 12 are organized by the Agricultural School to organize literacy classes when they go down to investigate. It's nothing but literacy for all.

The people of the agronomy group and the rice group of the original seed farm enter the sandbar in a neat line almost every day, and they still maintain the previous collective life style, although a few couples have already married. These "Tu Xiucai" have a high status in the hearts of the villagers, and there are awe-inspiring eyes everywhere. No matter how hard these students tried, they couldn't make a difference. The more this is the case, the more the students don't want to weaken their reputation, so they take it very seriously. Every time I come back, as soon as I cross the Nanhe Bridge, I can't wait to fall on the riverbank. It's also tiring to be revered.

Fortunately, these children have come from poverty, and the good life has only been a few years, and Zhang Chun keeps talking about equality when he lectures. Zhang Chun also leads by example and has not yet developed a "master" temper.

At the beginning of spring this year, Lizhen, who had reached the age of thirteen, officially got married under the auspices of Zhang Yang. The people of Jinjiling all went to Nanzhang Street. The rice fields in Jinjiling were directly assigned to the rice group, and they needed breeding fields too much. However, the housing on Jinji Ridge was given to the Seiko group. Because it is also a fully enclosed courtyard building, the secrecy is good. The Seiko group and the chemical group are also separated.

Because Zhang Chun and Lizhi have always been together, getting married is just a ceremony, and the two emphasize not to disturb people. So it didn't attract much attention in Zhangjialing.

And the sandbank and Luyuan Mountain Farm let the world know Zhang Chun's strength.

Zhang Chun's delay in taking office in Yunlong Town made the Wu family and the Li family murmur in their hearts, and they went to the Yang family to inquire, because the Yang family is Lizhen's grandmother's family after all.

However, the Yang family actually had a very light relationship with Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun did not take office because there were too many affairs.

For the first time, a large-scale biogas generator was built on the farm, and the bumps and bumps of completely inexperienced workers were finally completed. However, the first set of gas turbine generator sets was not completely manufactured by itself, and more than half of the parts were commissioned to the Hanyang Gun Factory. The quality is very despised by Liu Guangli, and the quality of the assembled generator is really not complimentary, but there is no way, it can always be used.

In order to make the expanded production line have enough capacity, Liu Guangli gritted his teeth, and still installed a ten-ton hydraulic press that was half manufactured and half commissioned. The quality this time is a little better than the generator set. But Liu Guangli knew that he couldn't be ambitious, and he should first do a good job of various machine tools and smelting and forging equipment.

Therefore, small-scale smelting, forging, and processing production lines have become the goal of Liu Guangli's struggle. Of course, the prerequisite is still half buying, half manufacturing. Zhang Chun has already raised Liu Guangli's vision.

In the ravine behind the farm, a set of smelting furnaces rose, which was not big, and it was an obsolete product of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the technical level was not high. But it is better than the earthen stove that Liu Guangli made, and the workers Liu Guangli found can operate it.

Zhang Chun said that now you can use it, no matter how advanced it is, you can't use it, and if you can't use it, you can't do it. So you have to start from the basics and build up talent. Transform your technical strength and tools, slow is a little slower, but also do what you can.

In fact, this year, Zhang Chun's reserves for several years were exhausted. No matter how fast it is, Zhang Chun's financial resources are no longer enough.

The quarry, Nanzhang Street, and the breeding farm slowly stabilized. Chen Jizu went to the quarry to be the village head, with the militia of Qianli Village, plus the quarry's manpower, where he had the duty of guarding Nanzhang Street. The construction of the business community of Nanzhang Street was handed over to Yuan Dingguo. The construction of the farmland was handed over to Zhang Di of the original seed farm.

The farm and Qianli Village, with outstanding ability, are close to each other, and they are slowly on the right track.

It's time for Zhang Chun to take office.

Take a boat from the Nanhe River and go down the river to the Yunlong River, where the Nanhe River and the Yunlong River meet, because it is the rainy season, the riverside is very wide. From here, the water of the South River turns back from east to west. The water in the sandbar area is fairly clear. However, the water in the upper reaches of the Yunlong River is relatively turbid, forming a large area of shallows on the side of the Wu family. Many of these shoals are hidden under the surface of the water, making them very unsafe to navigate.

The difference between the two rivers is not large, and at the confluence, the flow of the river is very gentle. The South River channel on the sandbar side was cleaned up during the dry season. So the boat entered the Yunlong River from here and turned upward.

No matter how turbid the rivers of this era are, they are much stronger than those of later generations. The siltation of the sandbar is not fast. The barrier of the sandbar was sealed with a stone dam at the mouth of the river. The water in the quarantine area is poured back from the downstream, and the water quality is all clear.

The river transportation in Yunlong Town is comparable to that of the Nanhe River, which already illustrates the economic scale of Zhangjialing. After crossing the Nanhe River, the merchant ships only make three or four trips a day, and the river transport goes as far as Wangjiaji, and only the merchant ships can pass through in the rainy season.

Most of the merchants followed the merchant ships, and there were ferries from Yunlong Town to the tugboat port on the other side of the river. Then there are the boats in which the fishermen catch fish.

The river is wide. However, there is only one navigable river, and some small sandbanks have reeds and trees out of the water. Navigating on this river is still quite dangerous, not an old boatman, and it is easy to capsize. In later generations, millions of people were mobilized here to clean up the river, and the river was smooth, and there were more 10,000 acres of fertile land by the river, but the river transportation also disappeared.

"There are always pros and cons to everything." Zhang Chun describes what might happen if the river is transformed.

"The whole river in this direction is east-west, but the Yunlong River is a big loop here, and the water flow here is gentle. The amount of sediment in the Yunlong River is very small, because the vegetation has not been destroyed, bandits are a bad thing, and big families are a scourge, but it also limits population growth. There is also not much farmland reclamation. If we are like us, and we don't manage it well, it will cause soil erosion. The Yunlong River will slowly rise and the river will disappear. ”

"So let the environmental team conduct environmental research and conserve water and soil?" This is Liz's reply.

"Population is always a problem, and population brings a food problem. Last year, in the first half of this year, we had gray hairs for food, because our population had doubled. Sandbar reclamation is fine. But the reclamation of Xiaofengling is a fundamental damage to the environment there, and it will take three to five years to stop soil erosion. The prosperous era also has the difficulties of the prosperous era. Therefore, eugenics should be done in advance. People are also part of the environment and need to be balanced. ”

"I somewhat understand what Lao Tzu means when he says that the way of heaven uses all things as dogs, is it right to exploit and oppress? Is the freedom and democracy we are seeking wrong? Gu Ming sighed.

"See how it is explained. Everything is relative, how can absolute freedom exist? That's not people killing me, I'm killing people and playing? There is no absolute democracy either, because for thousands of years, the poor have always been in the majority, and the majority has beaten the minority? No. This has to do with the quality of the people themselves. Therefore, everything is relative, and equal development can indeed bring great development, and the country is rich and the people are strong, but there are also costs and limits. Exceeding this limit can lead to disaster. Therefore, there must be ways to limit population development. They are all containment, one is cruel rigid containment, and the other is conscious human containment. This is the direction of the revolution. ”

"Revolution must also have a foundation, science and technology are the foundation, without this, a simple revolution is nothing more than Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was a failure, because he only revolutionized and did not produce. ”

Gu Ming looked at Zhang Chun: "I don't understand how your head grows, it's also reading books, but you can see so many flowers around." ”

Zhang Chun said with a smile: "Okay, there is a sentence that I think can be written on the wall of the school, empty talk to mislead the country, and hard work to prosper the country." Of course, it is necessary to put the state and the state in the front and the selfishness of the individual in the back. When lust is rampant, nations and nations are gone. The reason why the Ming Dynasty fell was because the civil officials were greedy for money and the martial arts were desperate for their lives. The country is said to be free from competing with the people, and it does not even collect taxes on the rich, nor does it tax salt and iron. The state cannot raise troops and save the people. The merchants sold salt and iron to the Manchurians for profit. So that the Ming Dynasty does not perish, it is unfair to God. Now it is the same, the land is in the hands of the landlords and families, and everyone knows very well how much taxes the state can actually collect. The Great Qing Kingdom, the roots are rotten, and it is a matter of time before it perishes. ”

Gu Ming nodded and said, "That's true, why don't you write these down and let everyone know." ”

Zhang Chun smiled: "Have you forgotten that it is the businessman who has the ability to publish now, Mr. Liang and Mr. Sun, which one is not a landlord and a rich man?" They will not take their own lives. Do you want me to face a class, a behemoth of great power? I still want to save my life. Why didn't anyone dare to give my speech in the boot camp? That's the same thing. Because for them, foreigners are behemoths. ”

Zhang Chunwei glanced at Gu Ming with a smile: "Actually, your conspiracy is quite effective." It just works. Big talk doesn't work. ”

Gu Ming smiled.
