Half a month of farming work passed quickly, and most of the crops in the field were planted, leaving only some fragmented plots, planting some miscellaneous grains and beans.

This year, the commune has set a planting plan, except for the national purchase quota, all of them will be planted with bud rice, sorghum and sweet potatoes, and whatever kind of yield will be planted.

However, now Qiaolian can no longer sneak to the seed warehouse to change seeds, and the existing seeds have begun to degrade.

The yield is much lower than before, and I don't know what it will be like in autumn.

As soon as the land was planted, Han Yunhong and Zhang Wenguang led the people and began to find a place to build a dam and build an earthen power station.

Wanting to build one that is all sand and cement seems unrealistic at the moment and costs too much.

But the wisdom of the people is infinite, as long as they are willing to think of a way, they can always overcome difficulties and find a solution.

The big guys got together and discussed it for a few days, but they came up with a feasible plan.

In the upper reaches of the Tang River, stakes are smashed with wood, sand is woven into baskets with branches, and stones are mixed to make a barrage.

After the plan was decided, the community mobilized everyone to work and go down to the river and dam together.

This earthen power station may seem easy to say, but in fact there are many difficulties.

Progress was slow at first, but then the problem was identified, and the progress accelerated.

Of course, the construction of a power station cannot be completed in a day or two, and the commune has made the power station its main goal for this year.

All summer, I don't believe that a small power station can be built?

Nowadays, many cities have supplied electricity, and people have also seen the convenience of electricity, so everyone supports this matter.

It is even more urgent to hope that Daying Commune can use electricity, and every household will be able to use electric lights in the future.

Just when the dam repair of the Daying Commune was in full swing, the higher authorities issued an order that many people should be relocated from Anqiu, Shandong Province this year, and that they should be resettled in batches in various fields, mines, and communes under Fusong.

Fusong now has four state-run farms, all of which require a large number of people, so priority is given to resettlement in each field, and the rest are distributed to various communes.

The Daying Commune also had to settle a group of people, about thirty or forty households.

In order to settle the population, there must be enough shelter, and now the commune was busy again.

Han Yunhong and Zhang Wenguang urgently discussed and counted the number of vacant houses in the commune, and it was not possible to do one house at a time for the time being.

The two families can only arrange to live in one place, and when there are conditions in the future, they will build a house on another homestead.

In May, more than 30 families who moved from outside were organized into four production teams in the camp.

The increase in the number of migrants has also increased the pressure on food.

Although the state will allocate some grain, relatively speaking, it is not enough for these 30 or so households to eat, and some of it has to come from the local commune.

Locals have few opinions on this.

In this regard, Han Yunhong also held a special meeting to warn the big guys not to bully students, to unite and integrate the relocated households into the commune as soon as possible.

Now that Han Yunhong has a high prestige in the commune, since the secretary has spoken, even if a few people are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do.

In this way, there were more than 30 more households and more than 100 people in Daying Commune.

Of course, the inflow of immigrants also has the advantage of having more people working.

The dam had been built, so Han Yunhong asked Qu Weiyang to buy a turbine and generator from other places, and found someone to install it.

Just on the edge of the Tang River, a small hydropower station was finally built.

When the hydropower station was completed to generate electricity, the whole commune cheered, so the electrician connected the wires and pulled the electric lights to each house.

At this point, Daying Commune began its life with electric lights.

Of course, this kind of power station does not generate much electricity, the voltage is not stable, and the lights are not as bright as in later generations.

But even so, the big guy was very happy, and the electric lights were no longer brighter, but they were brighter than kerosene lamps and candles.

"Oh, this electric light is so good, you see how bright it is, and the electric light is lit at night, just like during the day.

That's good, that's great. "That's what the big guys say.

The commune generates electricity for its members, so naturally it cannot ask for money.

However, Han Yunhong also told everyone that the power supply is only available until half past nine in the evening every day, and the power supply will be stopped after half past nine.

There are also some people in the province who don't sleep at night, or don't turn off the lights when they sleep, wasting public resources.

There was no objection to this.

Nowadays, there is no entertainment in these days, and most people go to bed at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and they don't have to wait until half past nine.

The only pity is that there is no high-voltage transmission system today, and the electricity generated by the commune power station can only be supplied to the Daying commune.

The rest of the production team is far away, so they can't enjoy the convenience of electricity, and they still have to use kerosene lamps and candles.

At the same time as the power station, there was also a mill where water turbines drove stone mills and stone grinders for threshing.

Nowadays, there is no electric rice mill and crusher, but after the stone mill is driven by a water turbine, the speed is many times higher than that of manual labor.

Only one person needs to look next to the stone mill, and there is no need to drive the livestock to push the mill as before, which is many times more efficient than before.

In this way, the labor force is undoubtedly liberated, and the canteen does not have to send people to grind every day.

Each production team transported the grain to the mill to push the mill, which was convenient and labor-saving, and this invention won the praise of the members.

The Daying Commune generated its own electricity and used water to drive the mill, which was also a major invention.

When the news reached the county, Secretary Qiao was also very curious and brought people over to visit.

After going back, he naturally made a lot of publicity, calling on all communes to learn from the Daying Commune and use their brains to find a way.

As a result, Daying Commune was once again rated as advanced and praised by its superiors.

Many localities sent people to learn from the experience of the Daying Commune, and they also learned to build power stations when they returned.

For a time, it led to the development of small hydropower stations in various places.

"Second sister, you still have a way, this is a really good idea."

Zhang Wenguang took the time to come to the health center, talked to Qiaolian, and praised Qiaolian by the way.

"Brother-in-law, how much does this have to do with me?

I was saying that the construction of the power station was not false, but what I said was a serious power station, which is different from the current one of our commune, and this is all the idea you came up with. ”

Therefore, you can't ignore anyone's IQ, Qiao Lian only put forward an idea, but what she said is not suitable for the present.

But this idea inspired Han Yunhong and others, and with the research and efforts of the big guys, the power station in front of them was created.

"Speaking of which, I still admire you, you can build a power station with such a simple thing.

We didn't spend much money in total, except for the generator, it was all made of local materials, and the big guy was amazing. ”

Qiao Lian's words came from the bottom of her heart, she never thought that this would be able to generate electricity.

Han Yunhong, these people are very powerful, and their brains are enough.

It's a pity that it's not the right time now, otherwise, with Han Yunhong and Zhang Wenguang, they will definitely be able to lead Daying Commune to glory again.
