Chapter 14: Hope
The environment in the core area is getting better and better, the food is becoming more and more abundant, the health of the people living here is much stronger than that of the people outside, and the perennial exercise makes the students' energy much stronger than that of the people outside. Dong Biwu really couldn't keep up with the rhythm of these over-energetic children.
In addition to the physical inability to keep up, Xinmin University's training to investigate and analyze everything under the conditions of a large system has penetrated into the hearts of students, which makes them analyze the essence of things quickly, and there are few omissions. Dong Biwu couldn't keep up with them, so he didn't follow. He can only coordinate these children from a macro perspective, and this coordination effect is very good, so that Dong Biwu will soon have a bunch of followers.
Dong Biwu only smiled bitterly, he knew very well that he had more than ten years of experience than them, and if the overall situation was gone, there would be no need to mess around.
It's just that in this process, Dong Biwu gained much more than his classmates. For example, the word revolution is often just a slogan and an ideological concept within the revolutionary party, and how to complete the revolution is mostly just an armed overthrow of the existing government and the realization of democracy.
However, in the eyes of the students, the meaning of revolution is much more realistic, and the old ideological concepts, the old methods of understanding the world, the old agriculture, industry, government agencies, population structure, social system, and so on, all the old things need to be "renovated" and inherited and developed. Even development is the greatest revolution because it changes everything for people, isn't it the biggest revolution?
Dong Biwu finally understood Zhang Chun's intention to ask him to learn. He also understood what Liu Ying said about hope. That's the whole precinct, and countless energetic children have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and you can't stop it at all. This is hope, the hope of a nation.
In June, Shayang County had a bumper harvest, and the average yield of rice alone reached more than 450 kilograms. The rice field has taken measures to balance the yield and quality of rice, otherwise the rice yield could have been much higher, and most of the rice fields have some fish, from small loaches to large carp. The Rice Research Institute tries to create a complete biological environment to reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.
And adjacent Zhongxiang, the grain output is simply unwatchable.
Dong Biwu took a group of little children and a squad of soldiers from Shenji, and walked towards Zhong Xiang village by village. There was already a working group working there, and the fighters measured with instruments and by the way distributed land to the peasants. It's amazingly fast. You can also plan the road right away. The road leading to Shayang has been repaired, the Yunlong River has crossed Wangjiaji and gone up five or six kilometers to the hilly area, the river is only about the same as the Nanhe, and the construction team with experience in repairing the Xinmin Bridge is not a problem for repairing this small bridge. There were a lot of vendors on the road.
After Jiukou Town, you will arrive at Dachai Lake, the Hanjiang River embankment was repaired decades ago, and there are still land inhabitants in Dachai Lake. But now it seems that Zhang Chun has no intention of turning Dachai Lake into fertile land at all.
People in the lake district are concentrating on planned villages, and a new embankment has been built at Dachai Lake to redirect the flood water to the Han River. This means that Zhang Chun artificially created a large flood channel and lake here. The embankment has not yet been repaired, and farmers are rushing to harvest and plant.
"This is 10,000 acres of fertile land." Dong Biwu looked at the land in the reservoir area that was already doomed to be abandoned.
"It's okay to give up, this place will still become a treasure trove of 10,000 acres. Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery, agriculture is not so narrow. The Han River turns into an S-shape here, and the water collected in the 100,000 mountains is time-consuming and laborious to forcibly block it. We don't rob God. The answer was a young man named Fang Xin. He is the deputy leader of the internship team. He studied environmental science and aquaculture.
"yes, we used to think too narrowly." Dong Biwu nodded.
"Forests, lakes, wetlands have their uses. It's up to you how you use it. The banks of the Yunlong River began to regain vegetation, and the rain fell after being intercepted by the plants before slowly seeping out, and a rain that used to pour into the river could have been poured into the river in a few hours. But not now, at least for three days. Or even longer. The water level of the Yunlong River has been very stable, and it is the Tiger Claw Mountain Reserve that is working. This is the way of heaven, which Master Zhang mentioned many times in his lectures. Another schoolgirl laughed.
"Don't worry about not being able to feed the people who moved out of the Lake District. There are at least two options for how to develop this area, one is a fishing ground, the other is a pasture, and in the dry season, you may see tens of thousands of horses in it. Even the flock. You can see the reeds, lotus roots, water chestnuts and so on all over the lake. Nothing can feed people. ”
Dong Biwu felt the confidence in these classmates.
This is the power of science, Mr. Zhang said, the development of society is to understand the condition of nature, try to make use of nature, this is the greatest technology. Technology is productivity, and whoever masters this productivity will be able to dominate the world. This is more important than what liberal democracy is. ”
Fang Xin made no secret of his admiration for Zhang Chun.
"In Zhongxiang and Jingshan counties, the average yield of rice per mu is less than 300 catties, while in our college, the yield per mu can reach up to 1,000 catties, not only the problem of seeds, but also the problem of water and fertilizer. The study of the small environment can also make it possible to raise fish in the rice fields. It's all food. Tiger Claw Mountain Forest Farm was the first to be established, which not only produces furniture, but also produces tung oil, rosin turpentine, and sumac resin. Bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, a lot of edible mushrooms, countless medicinal materials, and sika deer, fragrant musk deer. There are also tigers and leopards in the mountains, and there are wolves. Don't say they're scary, just control their population and leave room for them to move. They are wealth, and to be on our table, the girls at Rickey Hospital will go crazy with joy. Five years ago, we ate steamed buns in addition to rice, Lao Dong, you came to eat much richer than when we were children. ”
Dong Biwu smiled: "Yes, the school food is very good. ”
"In the final analysis, it is our people's lack of understanding of the world, narrow-mindedness, coupled with selfishness, that it has led to social oppression and oppression. Our mission is to change all that. So Mr. Zhang asked every child to read and explain the world to them, and that's how we came. In Xinmin Town, very few children have died, and it is no longer a matter of life and death for a woman to give birth to a child. Life is good, Mr. Zhang said that the old people can live to be 80 years old, 100 years old, instead of dying at the age of 50 or 60 now. ”
Fang Xin said with a smile.
"It's not that there is no harm, that is, the population will increase, Lord Zhang advocates late marriage and late childbearing, eugenics, and raising a child is to cultivate him into a talent, rather than being born and leaving it alone. One or two children per household is enough. Anyway, I grew up and only gave birth to two. "A girl doesn't think it's a bad thing to have a baby.
In this way, Dong Biwu was a little embarrassed.
"How can this matter of having a child be stopped?" Dong Biwu said strangely.
"Yes, why not, the medical school already has some methods, such as contraceptive drugs." A boy carrying a medical kit said with a smile: "The most effective way is to have surgery, of course, it depends on the wishes of the husband and wife." Another way is to produce a kind of utensil, which Mr. Zhang said, but it is better not to say this. ”
The little boy actually blushed.
Everyone laughed.
While he was laughing, a signal soldier rode past him, and when he saw a group of students, he excitedly shouted: "Yuan Shikai is dead, and Li Yuanhong is president." ”
And then ran away without stopping.
Fang Xin said disdainfully: "Lord Zhang has long said that he won't live long, what does the little kid know." ”
The soldier was obviously a new recruit, fifteen or sixteen years old, and most of these children entered the combat unit, and most of them also completed auxiliary tasks, and some of them became signal soldiers.
But in fact, Fang Xin is not much older, it's just that he went to school early, and now he is about to graduate from college.
