Chapter 46 Agricultural Red Flags
What made Yang Shugen happy was that Secretary Zheng did not express any displeasure, and still talked and laughed.
Because there was too much grain harvested, it took a long time just to weigh it, and the five scales did not stop for a moment, and at least three cadres supervised the acceptance in front of each scale, and there were cameras from the provincial film studio to follow the shooting.
As soon as the gong sounded, the specific output was finally produced, Li Huazi was full of energy, and came to the stage to report in a loud voice: "The yield per mu of the experimental field of Kushuijing Satellite Commune is 18,795 catties, 423 yuan!" ”
Thunderous applause rang out, and many members slapped red, and everyone burst into tears, proud of their achievements.
"That's not right." Zheng Zeru said lightly, with a very interesting expression on his face.
Poplar root chuckled in his heart.
Li Huazi was also stunned, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and didn't know how to answer, fake is fake after all.
"Isn't there still a point of land that has not been cut, plus that point of land, there should be a yield of 20,000 catties per mu, you have to seek truth from facts." Zheng Zeru said.
"Yes, yes, yes, the yield per mu is 20,000 catties, proper! I was so excited that I forgot about the last point and asked the leader to criticize. Li Huazi scratched the back of her head and said very honestly.
Poplar Root breathed a sigh of relief, this level is over.
Zheng Zeru delivered a speech on the spot, in which he first highly praised the achievements of the Nantai County Party Committee and County Government in promoting agriculture and production, and then turned the topic to the experimental field of Kushui Well.
He said humorously: "I have lived for more than 50 years, or the first time to see the yield of 10,000 catties of wheat field, I think everyone is the first time to see it, this is also groundbreaking in the history of grain planting in our country and even the world, 10,000 catties of grain field is indeed not simple, from a distance looks like a city wall, close up like a rice field, it is really gratifying." ”
The masses exchanged their heads and ears, "I say, we Chinese are the best at growing wheat, even the Soviet Union does not have such a high-yield wheat." ”
Zheng Zeru continued: "To be honest, I didn't believe it before I came, why, the professor of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences told me that the leaf area of high-yield crops per mu is only four acres, the total dry weight is only two thousand catties, and the yield is only four or five hundred catties. Now the data of everything in this high yield exceeds them by more than ten to twenty times, and this is a new field, in which there are new technologies and new theories, waiting for us to explore in depth and further improve. ”
Yang Shugen took the lead in applauding, and the crowd also applauded enthusiastically.
Secretary Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed it around, and said: "The working people have created such great achievements with the revolutionary spirit, the enthusiasm of the sky, and the infinite wisdom of the world, opening up new ways for us, and scientific workers must learn from them with an open mind, combine with them, and move forward together." ”
Applause rang out again.
Li Huazi suddenly said: "Secretary Zheng, I want to ask you something?" ”
Yang Shugen's heart sank, this line was not prepared, Li Huazi temporarily added a scene, and it was self-defeating.
Zheng Zeru smiled: "You said, as long as I can be satisfied, I will be satisfied." ”
Li Huazi said: "I have two things, the first thing, in addition to the agricultural production task, the commune also has to make steel, and it is really impossible to draw more labor, to put aside the past, the manpower is enough, but this year's bumper yield, much more than in previous years, there is really no manpower, I want to ask Secretary Zheng to send the Soviet Union imported Kangbein to help us cut wheat." ”
Zheng Zeru nodded and said, "This can be had, but what about the second one?" ”
Li Huazi said: "There is too much grain, the warehouse is not enough, and I want to ask the province and the region to support some materials to build the granary." ”
Zheng Zeru laughed heartily: "You don't have to worry about this, the overcollected grain can be returned to the national treasury, we can't eat it all, so we will support international friends, our friends are all over the world." ”
Li Huazi said: "Then I will thank Secretary Zheng." ”
Yang Shugen breathed a sigh of relief again, and said in his heart that Li Huazi's temporary drama effect was not bad.
Secretary Zheng asked again: "What is the yield of ordinary fields other than the experimental field?" ”
Li Huazi is now bolder, and he opened his mouth: "In the general wheat field, the yield per mu is five or six thousand catties." ”
This number is twice as much as the lines prepared in advance, and Secretary Zheng is very satisfied and says: "Very good, it seems that the red flag of the agricultural satellite belongs to you." ”
Li Huazi received the red flag from the secretary of the provincial party committee on behalf of all the members, choked up excitedly, his eyes were shining, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
The scene boiled again, and the poplar root's heart was finally properly put back into his stomach.
……
The provincial leaders have every opportunity, and they can't delay more time in the bitter water well, so they went directly to Beitai to inspect, Yang Shugen took Li Huazi and sent it out all the way, looking at the smoke and dust of the convoy, Yang Shugen patted Li Huazi on the shoulder: "Lao Li, you have made a great contribution to our county." ”
Li Huazi still had palpitations, and said, "Secretary, let's fool our heads like this, will nothing happen?" ”
Yang Shugen said confidently: "Lao Li, this is politics, you don't understand." ”
On the Volga car, Zheng Zeru said to Mai Ping, who was in the same car: "What do you think of this young man Yang Shugen?" ”
Mai Ping said: "It is very party spirit, and it is also very perceptive, which is worth cultivating." ”
Zheng Zeru nodded, moved his gaze out the window, and the former verdant hillside in the distance became bare, and the ancient pagoda on the mountain was gone.
"In order to make steel, the masses demolished pagodas, temples and archways to build blast furnaces, smashed stone monuments, stone statues and burned lime, and every household also donated iron pots, latches, shovels, and even iron sheets on boxes and iron nails on the walls to make steel, and these trees were cut down to burn charcoal." Mai Ping explained.
Zheng Zeru said: "What is the quality of the steel? ”
There was no one else in the car except the driver, and Mai Ping said bluntly: "It's basically scrap, and there are very few that can be used." ”
Zheng Zeru sighed and said: "You still have to persevere, this is a mass movement, and you can't chill the hearts of the masses." ”
When the car arrived in Beitai, Zheng Zeru noticed that the tens of thousands of camphor trees on the river beach had all turned into stumps, and knew that they were also cut down for charcoal, and sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Beitai is an industrial city, the steel will not lag behind, the steel mill is a subordinate enterprise, the results are not counted in the local, so Chenguang Machinery Factory took the lead, Zheng Zeru gave the three red flag awards to the Chenguang factory, and delivered a speech, encouraging everyone to make persistent efforts, strive for the upstream, how fast and good the province to make more and better steel, as soon as possible to catch up with the United Kingdom.
……
Nantai County has won three red flags of large-scale agricultural production, poplar roots are full of ambition, full of ambition, Li Cui gave birth to a son again, named Yang Yihe, and Li Huazi's son Li Zhi'an is the same age, the two adults said that it would be good if there was a man and a woman, and they would form a family of sons and daughters, and they would be close to each other.
Secretary Yang was happy, and his little life was very nourishing, but it didn't take long for him to be happy.
The good news in the People's Daily is frequent, Guangxi and Hubei have bumper rice harvests, and the yield of early rice per mu in Macheng is as high as 36,956 catties!
In comparison, Nantai's 20,000 catties are a bit pediatric.
The thinking is still conservative, Yang Shugen is annoyed, anyway, the fraud has also been made, why not blow it bigger, get a hundred thousand catties, and not reach the heavens, I don't know if the chairman can still meet him.
Although Yang Shugen was very angry, there was no way, and he was not the only cadre who understood politics, so he could only wait for next year's bumper harvest to get this field back.
At the beginning of autumn planting, Yang Shugen went to the countryside to personally guide the sowing, and he convened a meeting of the secretary of the commune of the county to convey Chairman Mao's eight-character agricultural constitution as the guiding ideology for this year's autumn planting.
"Soil fertilizer and water species, secret custodians, this is the chairman personally set the eight-character constitution of agriculture, soil, that is, deep ploughing and improving the soil, the most fertile soil is in the lower layer, to turn out the deep soil; Fertilizer, reasonable fertilization, we can not be blinded by the intellectuals who are short-sighted, thinking that the land can't stand fertilizer, we must add more, apply it violently, and manage enough; Water, water conservancy and rational water use, our county has the Dawang River, can be fully utilized, digging canals to irrigate saline-alkali land, I don't believe that it can't be governed; planting, cultivating and promoting improved seeds, this will not be talked about, the old farmers have experience; Dense, reasonable dense planting, this should be talked about, what does high yield depend on, dense planting, land is limited, but the yield can be unlimited, our county's experimental field depends on dense planting, planting this autumn, to promote this experience to the whole county; To protect plants and prevent pests and diseases, we must not only prevent pests, but also guard against the vicious destruction of the rich and anti-bad rightists; management, field management; The reform of work and tools, this method that everyone has come up with with can be promoted to the whole county, the whole region, and even the whole country......"
After the meeting, the communes began to arrange the autumn planting work, and the members used hoes and shovels to dig deep into the land, digging eight feet was too exaggerated, and turning three feet was necessary.
The old expert of the county agricultural bureau said that only the surface layer of cooked soil is fertile, and the deep soil is barren.
According to the instructions of the superiors, it is necessary to plant densely under the seeds, each mu of land according to the different soil quality, under 30 catties to 80 catties of seeds, some old farmers complained, in the past, each mu of land at most ten catties of seeds, this year several times more, how to sow this?
The commune didn't care about that, but organized the young members to sow seeds, sprinkle seeds in the deep ploughed ground, and cover them with a layer of dung.
Each brigade has experimental fields, high-yield fields, and satellite fields, and there are wooden signs on the fields with the words "No. 1 Experimental Field" written on them, and the basic militia is sent to guard them with red tassel guns to strictly prevent bad elements from making trouble, and the Young Pioneers are also organized to monitor the remnants of the landlords in the village, just in case.
According to the reported grain output, began to hand over to the national grain depot, Nantai County blew out a big cowhide, claiming that the county had a bumper harvest of 480 million catties, but in fact there were only 120 million catties, fortunately, the gap can be made up for by the collective grain of the cooperative.
