Chapter 165: A Broad Road to Food and Clothing
After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, the people at the table fell silent.
Jiang Zhi continued: "We can learn from these water storage measures in our family this year, and if we take proper precautions, there should be no problem in surviving the scorching heat." ”
"It's still interesting Brother Jiang, I'll go to your house tomorrow to learn and learn, and I'll teach you the technology." Chen Ming said loudly.
I listened to it and was very disdainful. He also went to our house to study and study, I think he wants to go to eat openly, just the cement puddle in our house has no technical content, what is there to learn, really.
Chen Ming's father couldn't see his unsteady appearance, and slapped him on the head with a slap, and he slapped the arrogance that he just wanted to rise.
Then Zhang Fanyu's father didn't seem to be able to speak well and asked Jiang Zhi: "Jiang Zhi, I have a question I want to ask you, I don't know if you should ask it?" ”
Jiang Zhi looked at Old Man Zhang and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, if you have something, just say it, there is nothing to ask." ”
"Well, I want to ask you, can you get the whole village to follow you to plant early rice next year? Can you teach your early rice technique to our villagers? He wasn't talking about himself, or the people in the room, but the whole village.
"I am a native of our village, I have lived at the foot of this mountain since I was a child, and I have never left, so I am very nostalgic for everything here, whether it is a mountain, a water, a land, a house, or a person, I hope they are good, if I am full, watching the villagers are hungry, I can't be happy. So I wanted to let outsiders know. Then our village will study, and we will all be full. Old man Zhang said with emotion.
"Uncle Zhang, what did you say. We don't have the right to care whether we plant early rice or not, and it wasn't invented by our family. Jiang Zhi still smiled.
When Old Man Zhang heard Jiang Zhi's obviously perfunctory words, his expression darkened, thinking that we didn't want to teach the technology to others.
Zhang Fanyu added next to him: "Brother Jiang, what my dad means is that he can teach everyone the technique when he raises seedlings next year." Otherwise, those of us who have not planted early rice are afraid that all the rice seeds will be ruined. ”
"Actually, we don't have any special technology for growing early rice, and this is not something we have reservations. It's really not technical, it's just a few of us who are messing around, but I didn't expect it to be planted, and we analyzed it later. It may be that the seeds we use are good. That was when I was in town. Last year, we used up all the seeds, so this year we can only use the newly planted rice, which is its second generation, and I don't know what the yield is, and I don't dare to guarantee that it will be successful.
Uncle Zhang told you the truth, when I first became the village chief. I discussed it with a few elderly people in my family, and I want everyone to plant early rice with my family next year. But my dad reminded me that I can't be careless and hasty about this matter, otherwise it will hurt everyone and have no food. Jiang Zhi said.
This is the rhetoric that we discussed at home, this year's rice harvest in our family, then there will definitely be people who want to plant early rice with us, but when we raise seedlings, we use some space stream water, although not a lot, we have used it a few times, but we are still worried that the seedlings will not come out, or the output is not good, so Jiang Zhi first explained the situation, if you still want to follow the planting, then we will provide seeds, of course, we still provide seeds produced in space.
After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, everyone was silent again, you must know that this is the most important issue now, and everyone has to think carefully before making a decision.
"Dad, I want to try it with Brother Jiang." Zhang Fanyu was silent for a while, and then said in front of everyone.
Father Zhang was silent for a while and said: "Okay, let's try it next year, if it really doesn't work, it's okay, just a variety of sweet potatoes, didn't Jiang Zhi say that our sweet potatoes are crunchy and squeaky and sweet." ”
Father Zhang remembered what Jiang Zhi said to the government official named Yuan Quan again.
Zhang's father's words immediately won everyone's approval, and they all said that they would follow our family to plant early rice next year, and then prepare with both hands for a variety of sweet potatoes.
Jiang Zhi saw that everyone was going to plant early rice, so some things had to be explained in advance.
"Since everyone wants to grow early rice, then our family will provide the seeds, but we are not free of charge."
"Of course, no one's food is blown by the wind, we definitely can't take you for nothing, there are so many fields in our village, if they are all planted, it is not the seed of the old and the young. Brother Jiang, you say, what an algorithm. Qin Hanbin said.
Everyone nodded after listening to his words, and seemed to agree with his statement, and it is true that one mu of paddy field has to use one pound of rice seeds, and the whole village's paddy fields must add up to hundreds of acres, which is hundreds of catties of grain. It is impossible for anyone to take out this grain for nothing, so it must be bought at a price.
"Everyone knows that our family has a bumper harvest this year, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, so we are not short of these hundreds of catties of grain." Jiang Zhicai said arrogantly. "But this can't be for everyone, if this precedent is set, then things will not be easy to do in the future."
Jiang Zhi said this, everyone nodded after hearing this, expressing understanding. Giving things to others for nothing will make others get used to making things wrong.
If our family gives away rice seeds for nothing this time, it will be difficult for anyone who wants to sell rice seeds next time, including ourselves, of course. Everyone will think, you gave it away for nothing last time, why can't you be more generous this time, why do you need money. If you don't say anything else, you will definitely say something nasty, which can completely avoid trouble, and we don't need to be angry.
"We have enough food to eat, so we want to exchange seeds for rice stalks, what do you think?" Jiang Zhi continued.
"What do you mean?" Sun Jun asked with some confusion.
Everyone also looked at Jiang Zhi with blazing eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"Haha, no matter how big the land is, we will provide the seeds, and after the autumn harvest, we will send all the rice stalks in the field to our family." Jiang Zhi said with a smile.
"What are you doing with so many rice stalks?" Father Qin asked inexplicably.
Hundreds of acres of rice stalks, what a pile of rice stalks, they don't understand what we want to do if we don't want food, but so many rice stalks.
"Rice stalks are a good thing, and they are very useful. My daughter-in-law was moved when she saw these pigs raised by Sun Jun's family today, and she wanted to raise a few if she had the conditions next year. The stalks were crushed and mixed with bran, and that was the best feed now. There are also our cattle and sheep, which are all foodies, and they should give birth next year, and this year's feed is old. And don't we have a saying in the countryside, the dealer is a flower, all rely on dung to be the house, and now there is no place to buy fertilizer, so you can only use farmhouse fertilizer, which can be used as fertilizer after fermentation. Jiang Zhi said the same as them, of course, one of the main uses is to make organic carbon, which is the main material for heating our home in winter.
"This is a good way, the rice stalk that everyone took back is useless, except for a few of you in the village, no one else has raised big livestock, the rice stalk is also used for fire, that thing is not burned, a few handfuls of ash will be full of the stove, if there is firewood at home, I will never use the rice stalk." Zhang Fanyu said.
The people in the mountain village used to be used to burning wood and stumbling, but now that the forest farm is yellow, Jiang Zhi does not allow logging, then everyone can pick up arm-thick branches everywhere on the mountain, so everyone does not hesitate to burn rice stalks, just use a little when starting a fire.
"If you think this method will work, then I will use a loudspeaker to announce it in two days to see how many people in our village want to plant early rice, and how many people agree to such a change. Also count how many people have greenhouses at home, and see how to plant all the paddy fields in our village. Jiang Zhi said.
Seedlings must be raised in greenhouses, so we must first count how many have, how big they are, and how many acres of seedlings can be planted. Then you can make the overall arrangement.
"Okay, the big thing is also discussed, everyone's heart has fallen into the stomach, let's hurry up and eat, this dish will be cold for a while, it will be a good dish on this table." As for other things, we must believe that our village chief will definitely lead our villagers to the broad road of food and clothing. Sun Jun saw that everyone was almost done, so he made a concluding speech, and then raised his glass at everyone.
At noon that day, these people had a meat meal at Sun Jun's house, and they all went home with their mouths full of oil. After we went home, we also told the family what everyone said at the dinner table, Jiang Dad and Qu Dad did not express any objections, they are now dedicated to the greenhouse in the backyard, and every day when they have time, they go in and serve vegetables or something.
Seeing that the weather outside is not too cold now, and the snow will fall, and everyone can still come out for activities, I think this matter should be quickly told to you at this time, if there are people who want to plant early rice, it is better to take advantage of the good weather now, come to the house to report a name.
Early the next morning, Jiang Zhi went to the village committee and used a loudspeaker to inform all the villagers about planting early rice next year.
There are two main points, the first is that this matter is completely voluntary, if someone doesn't want to plant early rice, it's completely okay, Jiang Zhi emphasized that this is definitely not mandatory. The second Jiang Zhi emphasized the risk of planting early rice, don't look at our family's harvest this year, just think that next year's planting will be able to harvest, you must know that the planting environment and seeds are different, so we can't guarantee that next year's harvest will be good, this is up to the villagers to make their own choice, this is like a gamble, God is the dealer, no one knows what the result will be.
Originally, we thought it was a simple thing, but on the day the announcement was broadcast, someone came to the door. (To be continued......)
