Chapter 126: Autumn Harvest
put down Wang Jun in the town, and Li Xing also gave her a lot of tickets. The three of them also arrived home soon, there were still only a few children in the family, and the older ones were now helping in the fields, putting down the things they had brought back, and several people also rushed to the fields.
In fact, the autumn harvest has been going on for some time, and the ripening time of crops is different. For example, you can't wait until the beans are fully ripe before harvesting, so you can only pick up the beans one by one on the ground, and the pods will all be fried. Seeing that the leaves are beginning to turn yellow and wither, and the pods are also beginning to yellow, when they are not dry, they will be harvested, and some of them are not ripe, and they have to be cut to be done. So the beans were the first to be harvested, and now they have been dried and put into storage.
Corn is the opposite, it is best to dry in the ground for a period of time, if the harvested corn is too wet, the drying is not timely and thorough, but it is easy to mold, and finally affect the quality of corn. If there is no rainy weather, it is often almost sun-dried before the corn is taken back, so that the straw can be pulled back directly.
Now the main harvest is corn, and before he even reached the field, Li Zhao saw a truckload of corn cobs being sent to the threshing floor, and the corn needed to be dried before it could be threshed. The division of labor was very clear, one team was responsible for chopping, one team was responsible for breaking, one team was responsible for transporting, and only a few half-grown children were responsible for leveling the corn in the threshing floor.
The children, six or seven years old, are basically helping in the fields, and they are mainly responsible for delivering water or breaking corn cobs, a busy scene. This is a scene that is rarely seen in later generations, when the corn harvest was also a harvester.
Not only the broken corn cobs but also the straw are transported, which will be used to raise earthworms. As soon as he arrived in the field, Li Zhao saw that some people were already plowing the field, and saw that it was a bean field, which should be almost dry. And the agricultural machinery designed by Li Zhao has also been taken to the field, and Li Zhao also took a closer look.
After taking a look, Li Zhao couldn't help but be a little surprised, he hadn't asked about the seeder recently, and he was really surprised when he saw it today, there were twenty seeders in the field, two of which were double-legged, and the distance between the legs was relatively large, thirty centimeters.
To put it simply, the double cocoon leg walks in the front, and the single cocoon leg fills the gap behind. At this time, Su Ya was also looking for a more characteristic place to take pictures, at this time film was very scarce, and she didn't dare to shoot too much, it was all planned, for example, now she is taking photos of villagers driving cattle and plowing the fields.
This is also the characteristic of the times, this method of cultivation has been going on for thousands of years, and it is the last afterglow. Li Zhao is the one who intends to change all this, in the previous life, this farming method continued on a large scale until the nineties, and in the twenty-first century, it still existed in many remote mountainous areas, and only in the plains was it replaced by mechanization.
What Li Zhao hopes is to end this farming method in the 70s and enter the era of mechanized farming 20 years ahead of schedule. At that time, there was ecological agriculture as the foundation, and the life of the villagers would definitely not be as bad as before. The most important thing is that the organizational ability will be further improved, after all, that is also the life that Li Zhao is looking forward to.
Soon found his father, and there were other people with him, two of whom were agricultural experts who often came over, and the others Li Zhao didn't know. After looking at it, Li Zhao found that they were doing statistics now, and it was quite detailed, there were corn cobs and straws, and it seemed that they were preparing for an overall assessment, and Li Zhao did not bother them in the past.
Instead, he said to Su Ya: "Do you see that the experts over there are helping to count the output, can it be used as news?" And those children are also helping to break corn, what do you think? Li Zhao hopes to point out some different news points to Su Ya, just like the ploughing picture taken by Su Ya just now, many people will shoot that, there is nothing new.
Listening to Li Zhao's words, Su Ya's eyes also lit up, he understood what Li Zhao meant, it was very simple, if his manuscript wanted to be selected, it must have new ideas. For example, the ploughing cattle just now, the new agricultural machinery or something, everyone can see it, and it will definitely be repeated with many people's manuscripts when handed in. At that time, it depends on whose writing is good, and whoever uses it, and the competition will be very fierce. At that time, it is definitely more than ninety percent likely to be cut.
And the places where Li Zhao points her out now are definitely rare, with these two points, her two manuscripts are basically there. And because of the new way, the possibility of passing the draft is very great, thinking that he is not idle in his hands, he began to capture the two scenes that Li Zhao said. Especially for children, it is very beautiful and very sad.
Soon after the filming, Su Ya greeted Li's father first, and began to interview several experts when it was over, recording while interviewing. And Li Zhao also walked to his father's side at this time, and asked after saying hello: "Dad, how is this year's output?" I think I've been weighing it just now. And the few people Su Ya is interviewing now, I haven't seen them, who are they? ”
The yield situation is what Li Zhao is more concerned about, you must know that no chemical fertilizer has been used at this time, mainly earthworm soil, Li Zhao wants to know what the effect is. In the past, due to the relatively small scale of earthworm farming, the earthworm soil was also less, and the use area was relatively small, but it had an effect after use, but it has not been tested in the field, and it is difficult to say what the effect is.
Father Li was also very happy when he heard this, and said: "Those people, they are from the Ministry of Agriculture, and they have come to see the effect of ecological agriculture." We made a comparison together, the field using vermicompost soil, this year should be good, obviously better than the useless growth, just roughly weighed, it is estimated that it can be more than 100 catties more than the useless vermicompost. ”
"The most used plots of land grow the best, and the yield may reach seven or eight hundred catties, which has never been done before. According to experts, we are basically about to catch up with the land that uses chemical fertilizers, and we have less than a dozen yuan of input per acre of land compared with those using chemical fertilizers. "This is really right, the price of fertilizer in this era is not cheap, the cheapest is ammonium carbonate, basically about ten yuan a bag, ammonium nitrate and urea are more expensive, a dozen yuan, a more than twenty.
Li Zhao heard that this is already very close to the yield of later generations, you know, in the case of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the general corn yield is only about 1,000 catties, if you can ensure that the corn yield reaches 800 catties, it is definitely a huge progress, no wonder agricultural experts to carry out such detailed statistics.
Li Zhao replied: "This yield is very high, after we scale up later, it is estimated that the situation of most fields can reach this level, which is basically nearly 20% more output." ”
You must know that in this era, grain production is generally relatively low, and five or six hundred catties of corn is common. One acre of land can produce more than 100 catties of grain, what is the concept, it is a major event that can feed hundreds of millions of people. If all fields achieve this effect, the end of hunger is at hand.
After hearing this good news, Li Zhao knew that Su Ya's news was stable, and his ecological agriculture concept was also stable, and everyone would definitely strive to implement it in the future. Nothing could be more convincing than this solid data, and nothing could be more appealing than this real food.
Looking at the interview with Su Ya, Li Zhao asked again: "What is the current situation of the new agricultural machinery?" I think we're here for 20 units, how is the effect? Li Zhao also hopes that the new agricultural machinery can be successfully landed.
Father Li looked at Li Zhao and said with a smile: "I knew that you would ask about this, of course the effect is better, it is much lighter than making wood." Now all the cattle are used to plough the fields, and the sowing is all done by manpower, much faster than before, with the same people, the same cattle, and new agricultural machinery, at least 30% more land can be sown every day. ”
As soon as Li's father said this, he was happy, this is his son's trick, this year's autumn sowing in Lijia Village will definitely be able to exceed 1,000 acres, plus the earthworm soil accumulated in the past half year, next year's harvest is basically relatively safe. As the village chief, he is satisfied, and now he basically doesn't need to say anything, the motivation of the villagers is from the heart, and everyone knows that the future will get better and better.
Li Zhao asked again at this time: "Didn't we discuss borrowing a tractor not long ago, why didn't you see it?" "Let the tractor come over to plough the field, but also Li Zhao wants the village to see the benefits of having a tractor, and prepare for the promotion of mechanized planting in the future, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing. I don't see it now, so I'm still quite confused.
After listening to Li Zhao's question, Father Li said; "The tractor will come a few days late, not one at that time, it is estimated that it will be three or five together, we will harvest the corn in these two days, dry the ground, and then all use the tractor to plow. Now there are not many bean fields, so I didn't let the tractor come, since we want to open the eyes of the villagers, then let's make a big battle at a time, just have a contrast, and strengthen their determination to buy a tractor, isn't it? ”
Li Zhao listened, hehe Yile, gave a thumbs up and said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, this time they have seen the power of the tractor, and when the village has funds, then promoting mechanization is a sure thing." ”
Since Lijia Village began to carry out preparations for ecological agriculture under the leadership of Li Zhao a few years ago, it is basically time to get a return. This year's breeding scale is not large, but there will definitely be a lot of surplus at the end of the year, and mechanization will basically begin next year.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
