Chapter 20 Rooted in the grassroots

Tian Xinyong and the others listened to Li Yi's eloquent talk as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights, and they had no doubt at all, as long as they continued according to Li Yi's jihua, the day of their dreams would not be far from them.

After Li Yi explained his philosophy and jihua, he discussed specific matters with them.

Li Yi said: "If we want to get rich, we have to take a different path from the past. Ordinary planting and breeding methods cannot lead the people of the land to prosperity. ”

Tian Xinyong said: "Yes, I have been pondering, every family guards that one acre of land, at most it is a full and clothed one, and it is really too difficult to reach the stage of prosperity." ”

Several other people also chimed in: "Don't say you're rich, it's hard to have a few cash, and you have to pay agricultural taxes such as co-ordination and retention. This yellow earth, it's getting more and more difficult to keep people."

Li Yi said: "With the broadening of people's horizons, the requirements for living standards will be higher and higher, and it is difficult for people who are used to living in cities and towns to return to the countryside to adapt. However, the rural areas must be developed, and only when the rural areas are developed can our country be truly developed. The development of rural areas is still in the period of exploration and exploration, and Huaxi Village has given us a good start. They can reach such heights, but we weishenme can't? At the very least, give it a try."

Tian Xinyong said excitedly: "Secretary Li, you tell us, tell us what to do, you tell us to go east, we will never go west."

Li Yi smiled: "I'm not a jack of all trades, I'm also groping and moving forward in my studies." Let's all learn together and work together. First of all, the core of this jihua is the ecological breeding method of a variety of animals and plants, which we refer to as ecological farming. Not only to achieve our goal of getting rich, but also to protect the original ecological environment of our Liulin Town, the success or failure of this ecological farming, is the key to your task, that is, when I am a shiyan soldier, I must complete the shiyan of ecological farming within a year, and only success is not allowed to fail"

Tian Xinyong and the others are already gearing up and eager to try: "Secretary Li, how do you get this ecological breeding you said?" ”

Li Yi took out a large stack of materials and spread them out in front of them: "To put it simply, in a piece of land, several animals and plants must be supported at the same time. ”

Liu Gensheng, the village party secretary of Huping Village, is in his forties, in the prime of life, and is also a farmer who has been influenced by Shijie outside, and immediately asked: "A piece of land, raising several things at the same time, or a mixture of animals and plants?" Is this possible? Don't animals eat plants? This is too suspenseful" originally sounded very exciting, but when I heard this, I immediately felt that this Secretary Li was too unreliable.

Li Yi said: "If it's easy, do you still need to go to Shiyan?" Is it still our turn to make a fortune? ”

Liu Gensheng said: "Let's take the vegetable furrow and chickens and ducks as an example, if you grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, this dish is only afraid that it will be enough to choke chickens and ducks to be mischievous, and peck the leaves in that dish to eat."

Li Yi smiled: "What if you plant chickens with fruit trees? The droppings of chickens and ducks can be used as fertilizer for fruit trees, and chickens and ducks can eat rotten leaves and insects underneath fruit trees. Isn't that a win-win-win? ”

Seeing that they were listening carefully, Li Yi said again: "Also, chickens can eat vegetables, and frogs are always beneficial insects, right?" We can put frogs and vegetables together to grow, frogs can eat vegetable pests and floaters, and pull out the poop can also fatten the vegetable field. The pests and floaters in the vegetable field feed the frogs, saving both fertilizers and pesticides, and the vegetables produced are all green and organic."

When everyone heard this, they kept nodding their heads.

Li Yi continued: "Let's think about it again: if we dig a ditch in the middle of the vegetable furrow and raise some loaches in the ditch, the loaches can loosen the soil and increase fattening, and it will be a lot of income when they grow up." In this way, an ecological breeding greenhouse is constructed, which is an all-natural ecological circulation system, and what we have to do manually has become very simple, just need to go to the next plant and harvest."

Tian Xinyong, Liu Gensheng and others listened attentively.

Liu Gensheng patted his thigh and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, Secretary Li, I heard you say this, I understand this jihua, I think it's okay"

Tian Xinyong said with a smile: "Secretary Li can't do it, but it's not up to you to have the final say, it's up to the female comrades to say it."

When this joke came out, Wang Xiangfeng and Hua Xiaorui in the office immediately blushed, and they both scolded Tian Xinyong for being improper.

Tian Xinyong smiled and said, "Secretary Li doesn't mind, what do you mind?" ”

Li Yi smiled: "It's okay, it's harmless, do you think what I just said is reliable?" ”

"It's too reliable," Tian Xinyong said: "I'll get it when I go back"

Li Yi said: "Of course, this ecological planting is not as simple as I said, in the process of our shiyan, there will be many unexpected difficulties, but I believe that as long as we are willing to work hard, there will be more ways than difficulties."

Tian Xinyong said: "Secretary Li, you can rest assured, we are not afraid of difficulties, we are not afraid of hardships, we are afraid of no money in our hands"

Li Yi said with a smile: "Also, the comrades of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have made a comprehensive analysis of the soil and climate of our town, and provided us with the best list of crops to be planted and raised. Until we find out the most economical, trouble-free and profitable ecological planting"

After all, Liu Gensheng is a bit older, and he thinks about questions widely, and asks: "Secretary Li, this shiyan costs a lot, how much support can the town give us?" In our village alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise so much money. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "I have all this money, you just have to rest assured to do it, I found Mr. Yuan of Liu Gang not long ago, and found him to make a fortune, which is enough for us." As long as we shiyan succeed, the products produced can be sold for money immediately, so that the funds will live, and we are not afraid of running out of money. ”

Tian Xinyong thought of a question and asked: "Shiyan products from several villages, they are easy to sell, but if they really want to be started in one town, the output is a big number, where to sell it?"

Li Yi said: "Comrade Xinyong has raised this question well, it will be the key work of our second stage, and I will have a solution to it." You guys just relax first, go back to work hard, and finish shiyan as soon as possible I will squat in a few of your villages throughout the whole process and fight with you"

Hua Xiaorui smiled: "I'll go too"

Wang Xiangfeng didn't want to go, but when she saw Hua Xiaorui taking the initiative to express her attitude, she thought that she was the director and couldn't fall behind, so she also said: "I'll go too."

Li Yi said: "You all went, what should I do with the Party Committee Office?" In this way, Director Wang stayed. Xiaohua, you can go to the countryside with me. ”

This arrangement was also very happy.

Hua Xiaorui thought that Li Yi was a cadre from the provincial capital and a young man, so he definitely couldn't stand the hardships of the countryside, couldn't eat the food in the countryside, and couldn't get used to the thatched pits in the countryside. Who knows, in the end, it's her self-righteous little girl who is not used to it.

Li Yi has a considerable understanding of rural life and is also mentally prepared. Eating and living with the people is endless. Although Hua Xiaorui is a native of Liulin, she grew up in the town since she was a child, and she is a half-hung city person, and only when she lives in the countryside can she really understand the difference between the countryside and the town. The toilet and bathing have become two big problems for her. If it weren't for Li Yi's optimism, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to persevere. In her heart, she admired Li Yi, the young secretary of the town party committee, more.

With the steel frame of the greenhouse borrowed by Liugang, coupled with the guidance of Jishu of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the pilot greenhouse was quickly pulled up.

Alpine Village, as the name suggests, is under the high mountains, Phoenix Mountain is the highest mountain in the local area, but the famous Shijie scenic spot with the same name is not a dime a penny, and it is neither a scenic spot nor a scenic spot. There are only mountains as far as the eye can see, and there are countless trees.

The fields in Gaoshan Village are scattered, and the two most fertile fields are concentrated in the water-rich flats, where there are rivers, streams, ponds and wells.

Li Yi chose these two large fields of farmland for his pilot.

However, in order to persuade these farmers to participate in the pilot project with their own land, Li Yi and Tian Xinyong did a lot of work and lobbied hard for weeks. They have repeatedly promised that they will increase the output by more than 50% in previous years, and all the income will be owned by the farmers, and they have signed a contract to exempt the agricultural tax for one year if the expected output is not reached, and compensate the balance of the insufficient part according to the yield per mu.

The farmers were skeptical, but thinking that there were big officials in the town here, they were afraid that they would not be able to deceive? I signed the contract one after another.

Greenhouse planting is easy to do, and jishu and labor are readily available. However, ecological polyculture has become a problem. The Jishu staff of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have no specific experience in this thing, and ecological polyculture has higher requirements for the local soil climate, and a small environmental factor may make the previous efforts go to waste.

Everyone crossed the river by feeling the stones, and after many explorations, they finally explored a polyculture model that fits the local reality.

In the first batch of shiyan fields, in terms of crops, cucumbers, loofahs, pumpkins, winter melons and other melon products were selected, mixed with frogs and loaches. Frogs are used to control insect pests, and loaches are used to loosen the soil. At the same time, frog and loach poop can be used as fertilizer for crops.

This is also the idea of ecological polyculture that Li Yi originally proposed.

From the germination of seeds after sowing to the growth of the first true leaves, to the growth of four or five true leaves, and then the differentiation of a large number of flower buds, for a month or so, Li Yi would stay by the side every day, looking at those young shoots, as if admiring a treasure. He rejoiced in the birth of every true leaf, and was sad for every withered crop.

In Hua Xiaorui's words, he is now like a boy in love, except that the objects are those plants

The early stage was relatively smooth, but problems followed.
