Farmers who don't care about water conservancy are tantamount to being busy. From the heart, the people are still willing to come and do things, but when something comes into the hands of the government, the taste changes. If you don't pay your salary, it's not uncommon for you to be beaten and scolded, or even to be thrown into prison for a few years on a charge. That's why the people are so resistant to conscription and are afraid of it.

Now it's okay, Geng Jingzhong will solve this matter, in addition to the busy farming time, the people are also willing to come to the construction site to work, after all, now that they have money, they don't have to worry about being beaten and scolded. Of course, this conscription is still nominally saved, and when the time comes, the people who have been drawn must still go, but at this time there will be no more resistance.

Besides, the government does not send many people to serve in conscription every year, but this matter is fundamentally resolved, and it still wins Geng Jingzhong a huge good reputation. The accusation of the traitor of the old King Jingnan still exists, but when he arrives at Geng Jingzhong, the direction of the wind has all changed. Yishui's applause is that among the readers, they have also changed their views on this young son. After all, a person who has always thought about the people will not be a wicked person in any way.

Men from all over Fujian have found something to do, and many women are not idle, as in the Mawei Industrial Zone, where a large number of female workers have been placed in silk weaving workshops. The ancients women were good at being women, regardless of whether they were high or low, and they were good at being women, and perhaps embroidery and other difficult jobs needed to be done by special embroiderers, but things such as weaving and sewing clothes were naturally not a problem for them. Geng Jingzhong played the slogan that a woman can hold up half the sky, but it is not a joke. Many female workers earn significantly more than male workers per month.

Embroidery. It is not a patent of the Gangnam area. Each region of the country has its own embroidery, with different styles. Although the local embroidery in Fujian can not catch up with the Jiangnan region, but it is still good, a large number of embroidery girls are called up with high salaries, to work in the workshop, and the monthly salary can reach up to 20 silver dollars. Women are careful and ingenious, and they have natural advantages in this regard, which men generally can't do. The male workers in other workshops could only salivate with envy.

In addition to going out to work, many livestock farms have been opened in various parts of Fujian, specializing in raising pigs, sheep and cattle, and more specialized chicken and duck breeding. Of course, the current conditions cannot be like in later generations, to open large-scale chicken farms with concentrated breeding, because without vaccines and veterinary drugs, high-density farming is simply unrealistic, so it can only be free-range. Fortunately, Fujian is mountainous, and a dirt mountain is enclosed, leaving trees. Clean up small animals such as thorns and weasels and stock them with chickens and ducks. It is convenient and effective to raise. The chickens and ducks raised are all grown up eating natural food, and they taste delicious, and a large number of chickens and ducks are produced, which also makes the price of meat fall, so that more people in Fujian can afford to eat meat, and improve their lives.

It was also on the occasion of this inspection that Geng Jingzhong began to check the agricultural development in various parts of Fuzhou. There are a large number of villages in the vicinity of Fuzhou City, which is one of the most densely populated areas in Fujian. The reason is that this is the location of the Fuzhou Plain, one of the four great plains of Fujian. The area of this plain is not large, from the Marquis of Minhou in the west, 32 kilometers long to Changle Yong'an in the east, from Fuzhou Douding in the north, to Minhou Dayi in the south, 31 kilometers wide, with a total area of 500 square kilometers, surrounded by mountains, the shape is like a diamond, and it is spread in the north-west-south-east direction.

In just over a year, the roads near Fuzhou have been built very well, and several nearby counties have built roads leading to Fuzhou City. However, the city of Fuzhou faces south, this side crosses the Min River, and the water network is dense, and bridges are still under construction in several places. The bridge repair project is relatively huge, and the road administration company is unwilling to pay this cost, or Geng Jingzhong bears half of it, and then starts the construction. There is a road is a golden bridge silver road copper house, repairing the bridge is the most expensive and time-consuming, this has been built for a year, several bridges have not been built. However, the technology for building bridges in this era has its own limitations.

Geng Jingzhong took Yang Jian and other guards, dressed in disguise, and went deep into various villages to personally inspect the situation in various places, hoping to find something from them, so as to combine the knowledge of later generations and come up with good ways to improve and promote development. Along the way, he really found a lot of problems.

The first, and Geng Jingzhong's worst endurance, is the sanitation problem in the village. Once, during the reform of the barracks, Geng Jingzhong made strict requirements for the hygiene of the barracks, so that every soldier in the army knew how to clean and keep clean, the process was quite long, and it took a long time for the soldiers to develop a good habit of keeping clean. But when he saw the sanitary situation in the village, he had a headache again, and the sanitation situation here was ten times worse than that of the old barracks.

Although it has not yet reached the situation of piles of garbage and feces everywhere, it is not much worse. The road in the village runs through the whole Zhuangzi, and the back of the houses is usually built with thatched houses, which are basically close to the roadside. But Geng Jingzhong found that many people would defecate in the open and the garbage was not disposed of in time. The manure tanks are open to flies, and many villagers have no awareness of the sewer drainage system.

The sewage flows into a small ditch next to the village of Guò and then flows slowly into the nearby river, polluting the water source. The people seemed to be used to this and didn't care about it at all, but in Geng Jingzhong's view, such a scene had a creepy feeling. He has told the soldiers many times that the temperature in Fujian is high all year round, which is suitable for the growth of mosquitoes, and if you do not pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to break out of the plague. It seems that it is time to teach the people a good lesson!

If this sanitary situation is not solved, sooner or later there will be a big problem. And there were not many people who raised livestock before, but now it is different, how many more farms are there near Fuzhou? Countless chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep have greatly increased, and if the excrement is not properly disposed of, coupled with the conditions of the village, once the plague breaks out, the consequences are really unimaginable. If you want to avoid large-scale plagues in this era, you can only start with prevention, first transform the environment, and then pay attention to sanitary conditions, reduce the possibility of plague occurrence as much as possible, and control the source of infection.

Geng Jingzhong took out a small notebook and recorded it casually, in case he forgot it when he turned around. The first word, latrine. This thing has to be remodeled, standardized, or some public toilets have to be built. The manure tank of the latrine should also be covered, and mosquitoes and flies should not be allowed to infested the manure tank in the open air! The second word, sewer. In the village where there is no excavation of sewer drainage, the whole village must be immediately stopped from digging the sewer, and covered, all the sewage in the village must be discharged immediately, and if it cannot be discharged, a large pool must be dug up, and a lid must be added to precipitate and rot!

These two points are very important for the village and must be taken care of. These are infrastructures, but there is one fundamental problem that needs to be solved, and that is the consciousness of the people. Geng Jingzhong was ready to go back and draft a ban, and then issue it to the government - no one in the village must be ordered to defecate in and around the village, and he can't wait, and he must immediately bury the feces on the spot with soil, in short, he must not see any feces stored anywhere!

Issuing orders is just a means, when the overall awareness of the people's hygiene is raised, even without these orders, they will take the initiative to take care of the sanitation of their villages, so that the final result is still beneficial to themselves.

Geng Jingzhong is also going to bring me the sanitary system of the military camp and implement it in all villages, and then vigorously publicize and strictly supervise the villagers to meet the requirements. If some people refuse to implement it, you can, but when you recruit workers in the future, you won't have your share! It is estimated that once this regulation is promulgated, the situation will be greatly improved. Manure is an excellent fertilizer, rather than wasting it, it is better to go up to the ground to increase fertility after it has been decomposed! Fujian's land is already a bit barren and has no fertility, and these are ready-made fertilizers.

In addition to this sanitation situation, Geng Jingzhong also discovered that the waterways in the rice fields also had some problems. The growth of rice varies from place to place, and since it is the same area, the difference should be very small, but these rice are grown differently. Some rice ears are very long, while others are very short, and it seems that these rice are not uniformly selected and raised, which will cause such a thing.

This kind of thing like developing high-yield rice varieties is obviously not something that can be done by the hundreds, and it is necessary to organize special people to carry out experimental planting. Various varieties of rice are introduced, and special personnel are sent to observe the growth and yield of rice, and select the rice varieties with high yield, strong resistance to diseases and pests, and the most suitable for the local climate, and then expand the area of planting in the farm, and promote it to the common people after being used as grain.

This kind of thing has hardly been paid attention to by the government in history, and it is basically discovered and promoted by the common people in the course of a long period of exploration. Others don't think about it, but Geng Jingzhong has to think about it. In the future, Fujian, or China, will have more and more people, and there will be no high-yield crops, but people will starve to death. These paddy fields in the south are of course used to grow rice, and some sloping and mountainous areas will be vigorously promoted in the future, and South American crops such as corn and sweet potatoes will be vigorously promoted, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to feed a huge population. These things, take your time, and there is no hurry. (To be continued......)
