Chapter 160: Survival of the Fittest
She raised her eyes and looked at Su Heting, "Another example is what you scholars often say, the southern orange and the northern orange, the orange tree transplanted to the north still bears fruit, but it can't be eaten, what's the use?"
"The impact of the reduction in grain production on farmers is more direct, and they still can't eat enough after so much hard work......
"I understand this," Su Heting said hurriedly, "I know that rice should be planted in paddy fields, and wheat fields should be controlled in terms of dryness and wetness. So...... There are others. ”
"Well," Yuan Ning nodded, "sloping land, sandy land, and saline-alkali land, which obviously reduce yields, are not suitable for growing these common crops.
"In addition, it is a good thing that you vigorously encourage the cultivation of wasteland, but you can't go too far, especially not to cut down trees indiscriminately, in the short term, it can allow the people to cultivate more heaven and earth, but it is not a good thing for a long time."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it," Su Heting agreed, without asking the reason, "But listen to what you mean, these barren lands also have crops suitable for farming?" ”
"Yes, of course. But let's not talk about this for now," Yuan Ning smiled, "Don't be in a hurry to grow food in the newly reclaimed wasteland, you can plant some other crops first."
"The reason why wasteland is wasteland is because it is not suitable for growing food, in other words, it is relatively barren.
"Wasted effort on barren land is a waste of manpower. Ordinary people have to eat enough to work, so that a vicious circle is formed at the beginning? ”
Su Heting humbly taught, "So, how can we quickly and effectively fatten these lands?" ”
"Fattening is one thing," said Yuanning, "and growing the right crops on the right land is the most correct."
"For example, in sandy land, where the fertility is relatively poor, we can plant some fruit trees, such as walnuts, hawthorns, jujube trees, etc. It's not cheap to sell these things outside.
"For example, walnuts, who doesn't like to eat them? Even if he doesn't like to eat, we have a way to make him love it!
"There are also hawthorns and dates, which can be sold directly, or they can be sold through deep processing, which has done a good job in economic benefits, which is better than grain."
Su Heting's eyes were bright, and he stared at Yuan Ning without blinking.
Yuan Ning coughed lightly, "I'm just talking to you roughly now, let's go back and discuss it slowly." It is the newly cultivated land, planting one or two seasons of crops, and then deep ploughing, adding more fertilizer, and then you can grow food normally. ”
"Okay, good," Su Heting was excited in his heart, and said three good words in a row, "I listen to you!" ”
Yuan Ning pursed his lips and smiled, "Now is not the time to talk about this, you help me first, you help me, and I can pay it back in the future!" ”
That's a joke.
Su Heting took it seriously, "It's only natural for me to help you, but you help me...... You didn't have that responsibility, and I don't know how to repay it. ”
"Hey, hey," Yuan Ning waved his hand, "so you'll be out of sight!" ”
"It's not a matter of seeing the outside but not seeing the outside," Su Heting said seriously, "At this moment, I am not speaking on behalf of myself, but on behalf of the people of the entire Tianqing County, I thank you."
"Before, I said that I would not stop you from leaving here, but now, I have changed my mind, if you want to leave...... Please also look at this side of the land and the face of this side of the people, and stay for a year or two longer.
"I really need you so much...... Your help! I don't think there is anyone else in this world who can give me so much but you. ”
He said it too seriously, which made Yuan Ning a little uncomfortable, turned his face away, and pursed his lips, "Look at what you said, it seems that I have already made up my mind to move out in a day or two!" What I didn't expect, you thought about it for me? ”
In an instant, Su Heting seemed to see the first sprouts emerge in spring, the first flowers bloom, the first blue sky appeared after the rain, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
This joy is difficult to describe in words.
Reflected in the face, that is, a smile.
Momentarily forgetful, he reached out and grabbed Yuan Ning's hand, "Really? That's great! ”
Yuan Ning looked at his heartfelt joy, and was also infected, and laughed together, "I think it is also very rewarding to do this great thing with you." ”
Of course, she added in her heart that she was not doing all this for the people of Tianqing County, she didn't have such great feelings, she was for Su Heting.
Su Heting quickly realized that he was getting carried away, and hurriedly let go of his hand, and took advantage of the situation to remove a dead leaf that fell on her shoulder, "Then don't delay." Let's go! ”
Regarding the visit, Su Heting is relatively experienced, and with him by his side, Yuan Ning quickly got first-hand information.
Most of these village heads screened out in the early stage are still good, and the big guys know that this opportunity to make money to support their families is not easy to come by, and they all cherish it and know how to take care of these neighbors.
But there are also some people who take chicken feathers as arrows and take the opportunity to draw benefits for themselves.
One of the most serious problems is nepotism, many people give priority to their own relatives, of course, this country is originally a personal society, and it is unlikely to completely eliminate this phenomenon.
But at the very least, the appointee must have a certain amount of talent, right? Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't have any strengths, you should be hard-working and know how to work.
The problem is that a considerable number of people who have come over are lazy.
Yuan Ning remembered them one by one.
If these problems are not solved as soon as possible, let alone seek greater development, I don't know when, someone will be stabbed in the back!
The unannounced visit lasted two days, which meant that they went to the countryside for three days.
At dusk on the third day, Beimang finally came to Su Heting and reminded him that it was time to go back.
Su Heting was still unsatisfied, he felt that he was alone with Yuan Ning, and the days passed very quickly, and before he could do anything, the day was over.
But there are very, very many inspirations.
Yuan Ning also knew that he couldn't be out all the time because he was busy with official business, especially since there were still a few great gods to serve at home, so he took the initiative to offer: "Rest for one more night, and go back early tomorrow morning." ”
Originally, Yuan Ning didn't plan to stay so long when he came out, and when he went out, he just told Aunt Zhang that he might go back late, although he had already found someone to carry the letter back, he was still a little worried about home.
It was late in the day, and they saw a land temple on the side of the road, so they decided to spend the night here.
Mainly since they stayed at Aunt Liu's house that night, they went to sleep together last night.
This time, ahem, Yuan Ning woke up in the middle of the night after sleeping, and then he couldn't sleep. shivered on the kang for half a night.
Su Heting couldn't blatantly hug others to sleep, so he had to get up and sit with him and wrap all the quilts around her.
In order to avoid the embarrassment from happening again, staying at the temple is the best option.
