Early in the morning, in front of the Li Mansion, Li Hongzhang took his wife, aunt and family members to bid farewell in front of the door. Especially the ladies have strong feelings, the hostess's eyes are moist, and Wan'er's eyes are also a little red. Zuihou Deng Zixuan and Wan'er said goodbye to everyone, and several carriages went straight to the new house under the escort of the guards.

The carriage was deep in a secluded alleyway, in front of a sentry compound. The courtyard is antique and very elegant. Deng Zixuan personally helped Wan'er get out of the driveway: "Madam, our new home has arrived, please let the lady in!" Facing her husband's ridicule, Wan'er smiled happily.

This kung fu came down from the back carriage one after another, Danxia, Biying, Deng Xiuhua, Deng Shuang and others were violet, and suddenly the front of the door became lively. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the shadow wall, and there is an inscription on the shadow wall, and the four big characters of the thousand years are very clear. "This house is quaint and seems to have a sense of mystery," Wan'er laughs. "This house is a three-entry courtyard with a small garden at the back. This mansion was originally owned by a minister of the former Qing Dynasty, and later the criminal official was exiled to Ningguta. The house was confiscated by the Qing court and confiscated as public property. I heard Li Hongzhang say that this house is currently unoccupied, so I asked him to clean it up. ”

Listening to Deng Zixuan's introduction, Wan'er and the female guests took a look at the courtyard and chirped enough. After Deng Zixuan accompanied his wife to settle down in his new home, he went to the Chess Street Government Council. Tomorrow is the day of the founding ceremony, how are the preparations? It needs to be carefully understood, and the grand ceremony must not have any flaws.

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the sky was blue. On the post road leading to the capital in the west. A wagon with a covered carriage appeared. The driver was wearing a military uniform, and on the other side was also sitting a man in a military uniform. The curtain of the caravan opened, and Kwong Jiazhi and his wife looked out excitedly. Kwong Jiazhi received the order in Xi'an. Let him go to the capital to accept a new appointment and attend the founding ceremony.

"Lord Kuang, the capital is ahead," one of the guards said happily. "Hurry up and hurry up and finally didn't miss the date, you two are lucky." Kuang Jiazhi let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his dusty face. The carriage was stopped by an officer at the city gate: "May I ask Lord Kuang!" "It's me!" Kwong Jiazhi was a little confused. The young officer was overjoyed and said, "Lord Kuang, I can look forward to you, I am the staff officer of the headquarters." The Commander-in-Chief has asked me to receive you, and I have been waiting at the gates of the city for two days. ”

Without waiting for Kuang Jiazhi to speak, the young officer continued: "Lord Kuang." The Commander-in-Chief has arranged a house for you, and I am responsible for arranging you, please come with me. ”

In the evening, in a famous restaurant in the capital, Kwong Jiazhi cooperated with his wife. He was led to a private room by a young officer. “haha！ Brother Kuang, fortunately along the way, our feudal officials returned triumphantly, and we can't be sloppy in picking up the wind and washing the dust. "Deng Zixuan's face is full of spring breeze." Sister-in-law hasn't seen you for several years, and you're still the same! Wan'er stepped forward to greet Mrs. Kwong affectionately, like a pair of sisters.

"Commander-in-chief, my subordinates don't know how to express their gratitude, I heard that you live in the Sanjin Courtyard. And it's not suitable for me to live in the Sanjin courtyard," Kwong Jiazhi was a little apprehensive. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "You have been through ups and downs in the past few years. There is no fixed residence, and it is my bounden duty to arrange a comfortable life for my heroes, so you should not be hypocritical. Brother Kuang, it's been three years since Guangzhou was separated, time flies so fast, let's have a drink today. After Deng Zixuan finished speaking, he personally poured Kuang Jiazhi full of wine.

After a glass of wine, Kuang Jiazhi's demeanor recovered. Wan'er and Mrs. Kwong chatted about family life, asked each other about their own situations, and talked very warmly. Deng Zixuan said: "Brother Kuang, this time I transferred you to the capital and let you take up the post of Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fishery, and your burden will be heavier in the future." "Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery?" Kwong Jiazhi was a little confused. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This is my proposal, a new institution. You have to focus not only on agriculture, but also on forestry, animal husbandry, and fishing. ”

Kuang Jiazhi said: "I am familiar with agriculture, irrigation of farmland, cultivation of fine seeds, development of agricultural machinery, construction of water conservancy, drought and flood resistance to ensure a good harvest, but I do not know anything about forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. "If you don't understand, you can learn, I believe you will soon become an expert, if there is something you don't understand, can we learn from each other!" "Commander-in-chief, my subordinates want to hear the long-term plan for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fish in the future, and the commander-in-chief must have already made up his mind!"

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Okay, today I will talk about it systematically, starting with agriculture." In the future, we want to build modern agriculture, so agricultural research should be in the forefront, and the newly established Academy of Sciences has added agricultural research institutes. We must not only cultivate high-yielding, high-yielding, and stable-yielding seeds and transform farmland, but also carry out subtle scientific research on them. At the same time, we need to develop advanced agricultural machinery to replace heavy agricultural labor with machinery, and the two should be carried out simultaneously. ”

"The wind and rain in the south are good, but there are frequent floods. The north is a humid, arid and semi-arid region, with both floods but mostly droughts. Therefore, it is necessary to build water conservancy projects according to different regions and adapt measures to local conditions, and initially reach the level of resisting drought and flooding. The wild rice seed cultivation you engaged in on Hainan Island back then has now fully blossomed and borne fruit. The next step is to make full use of the glass greenhouse greenhouse to raise seedlings, use excellent rice seeds, and promote rice planting on a large scale in northern Xinjiang. Rice is a high-yielding crop, which is of great significance for increasing food income. ”

Kwong Jiazhi agreed: "In the past two years, I have planted rice on a large scale in the Guanzhong Plain, especially along the Weihe River, and have achieved very good results, increasing grain by 30%, and at the same time accumulating a lot of experience. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This time you are going to the Northeast to promote, the Northeast has fertile land and is suitable for rice planting." "The Northeast is cold, and there has never been large-scale rice cultivation in history, and yields are extremely low due to the cold." Kwong denied it. "There is definitely no problem with using greenhouses to raise seedlings, I dare to pack tickets," Deng Zixuan was full of confidence. Kuang Jiazhi nodded suspiciously: "Since I can do it, I will do my best." ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "The land in the north is restricted by natural conditions, and it is necessary to strictly control the indiscriminate reclamation of land, especially the grassland, which is difficult to restore once it is damaged. For example, the Loess Plateau, due to a large amount of soil erosion, caused the current wonder of the Yellow River. In the future, it is necessary to strictly control the population in places that are not suitable for habitation, especially to eliminate grazing on the Loess Plateau. Herdsmen in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu can migrate to the grasslands, and the government should help them live and work in peace and contentment in the grasslands, and in the future, it will build a great northwest with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is necessary to gradually concentrate the population on the banks of rivers with abundant water sources or rivers. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "When it comes to the beauty of mountains and rivers, this involves forestry. As soon as the capital opens, the spring breeze and sand fly all over the sky, which is the evil result of man-made destruction of the natural environment. The historical Loulan country is the disappearance of the water source, and Zuihou is silent in the vast sea of sand. Therefore, we have an obligation to leave a beautiful homeland for future generations. In the future, all forests, especially primeval forests, should not be cut down indiscriminately, and the exploitation of jihua should be carried out, especially private land, and it should also be controlled. ”

"In the future, there will be mining trees in Jihua, and we will also plant trees. In addition, the mining of forests should be carried out in places with abundant forests and excellent natural conditions, and the cutting of trees in areas with poor natural conditions is prohibited. Especially in the western part of the city, all natural forests are not allowed to be felled, and violators are severely punished. Not only is it forbidden to cut down trees indiscriminately, but large-scale afforestation is also required. With trees, water can be conserved, and a good natural environment can be guaranteed. ”

Therefore, to maintain the sustainable development of the environment, we cannot underestimate forestry, which is a hundred-year plan, a thousand-year plan, and a 10,000-year plan. I plan to make the Loess Plateau green in 20 years, plant trees where trees can be planted, and grass where grass can be planted, and the Loess Plateau will become a paradise for wild animals in the future. In addition, the Loess Plateau is full of ravines, so I have to set up a special blasting team, and at the same time also serve as afforestation, using blasting methods to intercept rainwater and reduce the amount of sand discharged into the Yellow River. ”

The more Deng Zixuan spoke, the more excited he became: "When it comes to animal husbandry, I understand herding very easily, but the animal husbandry I am talking about is not traditional herding, and by extension, we call it aquaculture." With the great development of industrialization, there will be a blowout in the scale of cities in the future, and cities with a population of one million or even tens of millions will appear. Therefore, in order to meet people's needs for meat and eggs, it is necessary to engage in large-scale farming. In the future, grassland cattle and sheep should be raised in captivity, and the private sector should be encouraged to develop large-scale pig farms and chicken farms. Small-scale farming by one household is not enough to meet the needs. ”

Kwong Jiazhi was fascinated by it, and Wan'er and Mrs. Kwong were also getting better. Deng Zixuan simply stood up and said: "When it comes to fishing, in short, it is fishing. The fishery in the ocean is the richest, and we must not only do a good job of inshore fishing, but also set up an ocean-going fishing fleet in the future, so that our people can eat delicious sea fish. In addition, freshwater fisheries can be aquacultured, so agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. ”

Deng Zixuan said: "The development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery is also related to industrial development. In the case of our large-scale farms, for example, the efficiency of cattle and horses is too low. Our internal combustion engine has matured, and in a few years there will be a tractor, and people will operate it on it, and they can plow hundreds of acres of land or more in a day. In the future, we will have long-distance railway transportation, and short-distance automobile transportation, the load of automobiles is much higher than that of cattle and horses, and the speed can run hundreds of kilometers per hour. ”

Wan'er couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about eating tractors and cars?" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "It is a liquid fuel used in our new torpedo boats, we call him diesel, which is refined from petroleum." Kuang Jiazhi said: "Oil is underground, it is not easy to exploit, and at present, the Yumen oil mine naturally produces limited oil every day, and now it can only meet the needs of torpedo boats." Besides, is there so much oil in the ground? ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "The reserves of oil are currently unevenly distributed on the earth, but they are very rich. Soon oil will be used on a large scale. If a large oil field is discovered, there will be billions or even tens of billions of tons of oil. In the next step, the Institute of Geological Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will go all out to drill the draft and first drill oil wells in Yumen. In a few years, you will see that in a few years. ”

The picture of the future depicted by Deng Zixuan intoxicated Kwong Jiazhi. He believed that the blueprint shown by Deng Zixuan was by no means fiction, and when he returned home, Kwong Jiazhi could not sleep, so he simply wrote down all what Deng Zixuan said, and used it as his motto in the future. (To be continued......)

PS: The protagonist recruited Kuang Jiazhi, Minister of Northwest China, to serve as the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, and carried out the adjustment of traditional agriculture in a big way to create conditions for the construction of a new type of agriculture.
