"I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart."

Yang Hucheng muttered to himself in a low voice, pondering the meaning of this sentence.

"Well said! Well said! Wengo. Yang Hucheng issued a heartfelt compliment.

"Wen Ge, when I was in Xi'an, I heard that poultry, eggs, fish, and meat in the Taiyuan Administration were very cheap, and not only merchants from Shaanxi, but also Hebei and Henan also came to the Taiyuan Administration to traffic. I went to the market in Taiyuan this time, and if this is the case, poultry, eggs, fish, and meat are not only low in price, large in quantity, good in quality, and very complete in variety. In particular, the Yellow River carp are all red-tailed golden-scaled carp with fleshy flesh more than a foot long, which is rare now. Supposedly, a large part of this stuff is produced by your demonstration farm, I wonder if that's true? ”

Seeing Song Zhewu nodding, Yang Hucheng said with some regret: "This will cost a lot of food, right?" ”

Yang Hucheng immediately shook his head again, and said with emotion: "Brother Wenge, you are rich!" However, you have the strength. ”

Song Zhewu knew that Yang Hucheng had misunderstood, so he smiled and looked at Feng Rui and said, "Director Feng, let's introduce it to Brother Hucheng." ”

Feng Rui nodded and said: "Chairman Yang, most of the agricultural and sideline products in the market come from our eight demonstration farms, but they don't consume too much grain. ”

"Oh?" Feng Rui's words made Yang Hucheng very puzzled.

If you don't use food, what is it for? If it is an ordinary farmer who raises some chickens, it can also be raised, but with such a large supply, it is not a few chickens that are raised in the average farmer's house.

Feng Rui pointed to the two large red brick houses at the foot of the mountain in the distance and the several large ponds connected to the canal as far as the eye could see, and said: "Those are the chicken farm, pig farm, and fish pond of our demonstration farm. ”

"Let's talk about raising chickens first, Shanxi has a very long history of raising chickens, Yan Xishan has introduced excellent breeders from abroad, and even built a chicken farm."

It's just that Yan Xishan's chicken farm is mainly bred and promoted to farmers for breeding, and it is not successful. The chickens we raise are the introduction of Canadian Starcro breeders, which have high egg production and good physique, and we raise them on a large scale in our own chicken farms, and only a small amount is promoted to farmers' families. ”

"The chickens raised on our chicken farm are mainly fed earthworms, and of course, they are also fed a small amount of feed grain with bone meal. The nutrient soil that has propagated earthworms is also a good natural farm fertilizer, which can fertilize the field and improve the soil, and chicken manure can also be used to raise fish. Chicken feathers and duck feathers are also useful, they can be used to make down jackets, which can not help but be light and very warm, which is another invention of our commander. ”

"Pigs are fed mainly with fermented straw and grain bran, alfalfa, distiller's grains, and a very small amount of cornmeal, and pig manure is also a good farm fertilizer."

"There are also fish ponds, in addition to fish farming, our fish ponds actually have a secondary sedimentation function, which can make the irrigation water contain less sand. In winter, the northern weather is cold, which is not suitable for fish ponds, so before winter, we will fish out the fish, drain the water and clean the bottom of the pond, and then transport the soil from the bottom of these fish ponds to the terraced fields on the mountain to improve the soil quality. ”

"We mainly rely on a large number of regular purchases of mutton in Southern Mongolia, and after the construction of the Taiku Railway, we can also purchase it from Northern Mongolia, and the price will be lower. Part of the beef comes from Nanmeng, and some of it comes from farming cattle and dairy cows. ”

"The main thing that is used to raise cattle is alfalfa, which we grow. This alfalfa is a good thing, alfalfa stems and leaves are tender and delicious, whether it is green feed, silage, preparation of green hay, processing grass meal, used for compound feed or mixed feed, all kinds of livestock and poultry are the most favorite food, but also the first choice of green feed for pig and poultry industry. Alfalfa has a lifespan of up to 30 years, and the field cultivation and utilization period is about 7~10 years. In the northwest of Shanxi, one harvest per mu can reach 600 to 800 kilograms, and it can be harvested five or six times a year. ”

"Of course, cow dung is also farm manure. Not only do pigs and cattle provide a lot of leather, but their bones can be sent to the feed mill to be ground into bone meal......"

Finally, Feng Rui said: "Chairman Yang, the Yellow River carp in our fish pond is a big taste, we have prepared two ten-pound big carp, and we will invite Chairman Yang to taste it later." ”

After listening to Feng Rui's introduction, Yang Hucheng's excited face was full of red light, and he clapped his hands and said, "Great!" Worthy of a big doctor! Deputy Director, after your rectification, not only can a large number of eggs, poultry, fish, and meat be produced without much grain, but the waste generated by each link can be used by each other, and there is almost nothing useless. ”

Feng Rui said with a smile: "Chairman Yang is right, our commander said that this is called agricultural circular economy, that is, to obtain the maximum output with the minimum input. It's just that I didn't design it, it's the work of our commander. ”

Feng Rui's words surprised Yang Hucheng and the others even more.

Yang Hucheng looked at Song Zhewu and said in surprise: "Wen Ge, you are proficient in military, civil affairs, and agricultural affairs, it's really not simple!" ”

Song Zhewu is now the most taboo for others to praise him, because everything he handles is not easy to explain, and he is proficient in everything, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.

Song Zhewu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I just mentioned this idea, but the specific ones were all made by Director Feng and the experts of the Chengxia Agricultural Committee. These things are easier said than done. For example, large-scale centralized chicken raising, the most important thing is to prevent epidemics, and how to ensure the health of chickens in indoor breeding, but also to lay more eggs, these are the most important. ”

Du Bincheng said to Yang Hucheng with great interest: "Hucheng, we are in Shaanxi, and we can also build several large demonstration farms like this on the banks of the Yellow River. After next year, our Shaanxi will also be able to become the north and south of the Yangtze River like here. ”

"Yes." Nan Hanchen, Wang Ziyuan, and Sun Weiru also nodded in agreement with great excitement.

Yang Hucheng looked at everyone, then looked at Song Zhewu, and said with a sly smile: "Wen Ge, I have decided that the newly built demonstration farm in Shaanxi will be named after you." If Shaanxi also builds the same demonstration farm here, then Shaanxi will never have such a great famine in recent years, in this way, Wenge you are the great benefactor of Shaanxi's fathers, I don't know how many people will set up an immortal archway for you at home. ”

Named after Song Zhewu, how can the people of Shaanxi be grateful to him Song Zhewu?

Song Zhewu listened to Yang Hucheng's words, although he didn't think it through immediately, he always felt that there was something wrong with Yang Hucheng saying this, as if he wanted to set a trap for him.

Without waiting for Song Zhewu to answer, Yang Hucheng's face changed, and he said with a bitter face: "Wen Ge, this matter is good, but this not only requires technology, but also requires a lot of money. Shaanxi is a poor province, and now the relief of the victims is stretched, where is the money to build this demonstration farm? I look at it like this, Wenge, you help people to the end, and you naturally have to send people to guide the technology, is this the construction fund? You give me a loan first, and when the demonstration farm has an output, I will use the farm's goods to repay you, what do you think? ”

At this moment, Song Zhewu finally understood Yang Hucheng's intentions, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

Song Zhewu took out a loan, both money and technology, and then Yang Hucheng used the output of the farm he built to pay it back. In this process, Yang Hucheng only came out of a few wastelands, which is equivalent to Yang Hucheng picking up a few large farms for nothing, which is the most obvious borrowing of chickens to lay eggs.

Yang Hucheng's words, even Du Bincheng, Nan Hanchen, and Sun Weiru were a little embarrassed, but Yang Hucheng was embarrassed.

Song Zhewu likes Yang Hucheng's straightforward cunning very much, but it is not a small expense to ask him to help Yang Hucheng build such a large farm, and the quantity is not one.

Although Song Zhewu is not short of money now, he has too many places to use it, especially when he is about to reach nine. It's eighteen, there will be more places to use money, and the amount will be larger, now he doesn't dare to spend money as lavishly as before, he won't simply give Yang Hucheng such a large sum of money.

Jia Jingde was a little disgusted by Yang Hucheng's big mouth, as the actual person in charge of civil affairs and the chief housekeeper of the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, what Song Zhewu was not good to say, Jia Jingde couldn't help but say it, and was thinking about how to refuse, but he didn't expect Song Zhewu to speak first.

"Brother Hucheng, you have a good idea, if you really want to do this, you didn't spend a penny, and you got hundreds of thousands of acres of land for nothing."

Yang Hucheng laughed heartily and said, "Wen Ge, I can't help it, I really don't have any money, I just want to beat your autumn wind." ”

Song Zhewu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Hucheng is quick to talk, I like it." In my opinion, you don't want to build a few demonstration farms at once, these new technologies are not simply copied, or you need to continue to accumulate experience and master technology, I suggest you build one first. ”

"You don't want to be too little for this farm, I will pay all the expenses, and you don't have to pay it back. You can use the output of your farm to build other farms in the future. ”

Song Zhewu stopped Yang Hucheng, whose face was full of gratitude, and then said: "To build such a farm, the biggest cost is labor, I will allocate you 3 million catties of grain, Brother Hucheng can take the way of work for relief, pay wages with grain, so that you can help the victims, alleviate the shortage of grain in Shaanxi, and build a farm." ”

"In this way, the autumn grain will be harvested soon, and after the autumn grain is harvested, Brother Hucheng can start to start the construction of the farm. In addition, I will give you another 300,000 Tang Yuan for the purchase of tools. We have everything we want now, so you can buy all these things from us. When the farm is completed, I will send someone to guide me. ”

"However, it is not without conditions at all."

"Oh."

Yang Hucheng was very surprised that Song Zhewu was conditional to help him, but Yang Hucheng, who was proficient in the world, did not show it.

Heartily said, "Okay! That's a certainty. You can say whatever the conditions, as long as I, the chairman of Shaanxi Province, can do it, I will never shirk it. ”

Yang Hucheng specially emphasized that he was the chairman of Shaanxi Province, that is, he told Song Zhewu that our Shaanxi is a poor province, and if your asking price is too high, I, Yang Hucheng, will not be able to afford it.
