Chapter 964: Outlook for the Coming Year

After sending the whole planter to Qiu Ba, now every noon, Gao Fangping likes to lie on the reclining chair at the riverside construction site and watch the engineers build the third-generation pump building designed by Jiangzhou.

This thing is old and awesome now.

I think that Gao Fangping took those grassroots roots, and few people understood, relying on the imitation of the pirated water transport instrument of the Great Song Dynasty, to develop this thing for the first time, and then with the help of a small amount of thrust of the river, with the help of the old cows in different places day and night, this thing was put into operation.

After that, Gao Fangping didn't care, let them toss by themselves.

The germination of an industry begins with making a profit. The Jiangzhou Water Conservancy Engineering Division, a state-owned enterprise, in addition to building a lot and increasing arable land under the rule of Jiangzhou, received the first order for the Daimyo Mansion.

Lao Pei is a shark, and he stole Jiangzhou's technology by the way. At that time, in addition to the first batch of eight pump towers in Daimyo County was built in Jiangzhou, the so-called apprentices starved to death of the master, Lao Pei kicked Jiangzhou away, built the water conservancy department of the Daimyo Mansion himself, and even poached a few craftsmen and technicians from Jiangzhou. After that, the Daimyo Mansion began to build its own water pump building.

At the beginning, the daimyo's mansion was not built well, and it was ridiculed by Jiangzhou people as a copycat version. However, Lao Pei couldn't stand it, and there were a lot of orders in the north, and he walked out of his own way. The plan they adopted was different from that of Jiangzhou, but it had its own characteristics, and it was bright for a while.

Then they grabbed orders all over the country and Jiangzhou, which is the technological update and progress brought by competition.

Today, Jiangzhou Pump Tower has evolved to the third generation, with fewer problems, longer operating life, and higher pumping efficiency.

However, what is obscene about Pei Yancheng is that he was the first to introduce mechanical power on the pump floor, and the work efficiency is not as good as that of Jiangzhou, but the workload is better than that of Jiangzhou's cattle, and at the same time the ox power and manpower are released.

Lao Pei is a person who dares to eat crabs, although he heard that the second generation of turbines has many problems, but when he saw that the big demon king began to place orders, Lao Pei also placed an order and gambled.

Why is Jiangzhou lagging behind in this regard?

Because their minds are imprisoned by themselves. After all, the people of the Jiangzhou Water Conservancy Division are close to the craftsmen of the Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Engineering Institute, so they have perfect obsessive-compulsive disorder under the influence of the people of the Engineering Institute.

So in this regard, the Daimyo Mansion overtook in the corner. Now the pump building under Lao Pei is not as good as Jiangzhou, but in the technical link of matching the pump and the turbine, it is more than half a position higher than Jiangzhou.

These really need to be skilled, no one can explain the reason, the principle is like that, but the engineering team sent out by Lao Pei, they adjust the matching transmission assembly, which is more efficient than Jiangzhou and less problematic than Jiangzhou.

As a result, the Daimyo Mansion has a derivative business, that is, the research and development of the second-generation train gearbox, which adopts the technology and ideas of the Daimyo Mansion. Fortunately, Shi Jingjie was not angry, otherwise the relevant technicians in Jiangzhou would have been tortured to death.

Now this demonstration pump building was built with the aid of Jiangzhou, and then the 2.1 generation turbine was purchased, and the transmission assembly was manufactured by Lao Pei and his people.

Jiangzhou's wealth is to aid the construction, but Lao Pei picked the door, and he sent a team to work to collect money, which was paid by the Chengdu government's finance.

Boom Boom Boom –

As soon as the construction was completed and the big guy who started the test run was running, the natives of Chengdu Prefecture were surprised.

They watched the miraculous sight with their mouths half-open, only to see that the water of the river, which had not been able to come up the hills, had been forcefully pumped into the ditch that had been dug, and when the land had been filled with water, the living water began to flow down the ditch.

These ditches are known as the "Chengdu Canals", and after a circular circulation in this part of the hilly highlands, the water eventually flows down, and the unused water returns to the main channel.

"This ...... This ......"

An old man thought about it and said boldly: "In this way, it doesn't take too much manpower, and these fields have become arable land?" ”

Gao Fangping got up and looked into the distance and said: "Yes, this is called cultivated land, there is no secret, in fact, the land can be planted, nothing more than the difference in effect, the difference between barren and rich." As long as the nutrients and water sources of the soil are solved, it is arable land. I tell you, if you use the river for irrigation, you don't even need to raise the land, and you don't need extra fertilizer. Farm fertilizer is used for overcultivated poor land. ”

"Excuse me, sir, why?" A farmer asked.

"The water of this river itself is not clean, this water comes from the Min River, which is diverted into the Chengdu Plain by Dujiangyan, where does it come from? From the Tibetan plateau 10,000-year-old glacier. The soil of the highlands is a good thing, it is called humus, and the soil has been enriched with corrupted leaves, animal bones, insect corpses, which are natural nutrients. The finest soil and nutrients melt into the water and are carried by the water towards the basin, which is where the cornucopia comes from. So the water of the river looks dirty and people can't drink it, but for the land it is milk. ”

"The so-called rotation of the land, that is because after the nutrients of the land are supplied to the farmer, the land must also be fed and replenished like a person. There are two ways to supplement, one is to bury the bottom fertilizer directly in the ground. Or they have to stop farming, and let the elements in the air fall like dust into the ground, and let the bird's droppings fall into the ground. Let these fields grow wild plants, attract insects, and the insects will not jump until after autumn, so every autumn, the field will accumulate some dead grass and insect corpses, bird droppings, etc., plus photosynthesis, this is called land cultivation, but it takes time. The evolution of productivity can shorten the process from years to weeks or even days. Isn't that easy? ”

The people of the big head were shocked, no wonder he was called Pork Ping. It seems that this guy's agricultural skills are unparalleled in the Great Song Dynasty, and what he talks about is simple and down-to-earth, and ordinary people can understand it.

"The conclusion is that the river water introduced by Dujiangyan is nutrients, and the use of these waters, instead of groundwater, is equivalent to crop rotation and land, everyone should not have any worries, the Chengdu Plain does not need to be raised, and it can be cultivated non-stop and will not be exhausted, which is called the land of abundance. In the future, as the pump building expands and evolves, the engine horsepower increases. This is just the beginning, and there will be more and more hills to use and more and more arable land. ”

Everyone looked at the place where the Great Demon King pointed out, and sure enough, it was limited to the efficiency of the engine and the pump, and the water coming up was limited, and the place where the ditch flowed was only a few hundred acres, less than one-tenth of this hill.

No wonder the Great Demon King said that he was still not obscene enough, and it seemed that he would really want to go to heaven in the future.

"Our Chengdu Mansion is not short of food or land, and there will be more and more of this land in the future, what should we do?" One guy asked.

Han Shizhong slapped him on the back of the head: "Do you think that Lao Tzu is idle, now he has started to open up mountain roads and build railways, as long as it can be transported out, there are more places in the world that need food, and as long as it can be transported out in the future, food is money." ”

"Oh." Everyone nodded stupidly.

One guy asked: "Now the government is building a warehouse, collecting everyone's grain, and giving it a slightly higher price than the market price, so as to encourage everyone to plant." So does this count as the government hoarding grain and waiting for the price of grain to rise and sell it? ”

Gao Fangping smiled: "Of course, but it's only one of the reasons." If you have to take precautions, the government can't be like you to be a moonlight clan without heart and lungs. There is no panic in the heart of food in hand, food security is not a small problem, it must be reserved, even if this reserve needs financial maintenance, there is loss, it is not hesitated. ”

"Then can we not sell it to the government, store our own grain, and wait for the price to rise?" One woman asked.

"But you can. However, it is more risky to reserve oneself, and the price of grain does not start immediately, and after it rises, it will also face the price balance of the government. The old grain is always not as valuable as the new grain, maybe after you have saved it yourself, you can also use the old grain to raise more cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, which is the beginning of material abundance. Gao Fangping said.

"Oh." They nodded stupidly again.

Before the question here was finished, a messenger who belonged to the civil affairs department trotted over to find Zhang Miancheng and said: "Master, there was a fight in the field over there, and the head was broken and bleeding, why don't you go over and take a look." Otherwise, it will be a big problem, and it will not be good to be caught by the criminal. ”

Zhang Miancheng hurriedly went.

Anyway, he is a kind person, and he really doesn't like people who are criminals to intervene in these things casually, which will make him very faceless. When he was in Jiangzhou, he was virtuous.

It's okay left and right, Gao Fangping also followed to take a look.

After I went, I saw a young woman sitting in the ground crying to death. was being whipped by the grandmother with a cane, and it really broke the skull.

The man in her family hugged her and wanted to comfort her, but he was also whipped up by the old woman's crutches.

Zhang Miancheng slipped away when he saw this situation, saying that it was none of his business. He is so virtuous, and the lynching and private law in Jiangzhou was indulged by him in this way.

Of course, it's not that this is also a private court now, it's just a very ordinary beating by elders.

Gao Fangping leaned over and said puzzledly: "Why did you break her head?" ”

The old woman said: "I've never seen such a wasted daughter-in-law, a good piece of greens, look at what she has grown?" I won't talk about the many who died, but the few who survived, I haven't seen this kind of dish since I was so old? ”

Gao Fangping walked to the ground and observed, sweat, Gao Fangping didn't know what kind of dish this was, the dish had changed. It's greener than ordinary greens, like greens but not greens. The branches and leaves are larger, and they look less watery than greens.

Take some off and try it out in your mouth. This frightened the old woman, she jumped over and reached out from Gao Fangping's mouth, "Adult, don't eat indiscriminately, it's too much of a sin to eat the old body, so you can't cut it all over the house." ”

Gao Fangping put her hand away, chewed it and spit it out, pointed to the caterpillars on the vegetable leaves and said, "Look at these goods also have fat heads and big ears, and there will be no poisonous vegetables." ”

"Oh."

The old woman was relieved, at first she had bad eyes and didn't see these caterpillars. Of course she understands this. When I was young, I caught this caterpillar and ate it when I had nothing to eat, and it seemed that the nutrition was not bad.

Gao Fangping said: "There is a characteristic of the dish, the darker the color, the better the nutrition. I don't know what this dish is. But I'm telling you that this dish can be eaten and even seeded. Your daughter-in-law seems to be lazy, and she forgot that there is a piece of food here for a while, and she didn't come to take care of it, so the other dishes died, and these mutated ones survived. The reason why they survived was because they needed less water than green vegetables, and I tasted them a little dry, which was neither delicious nor unpalatable, and it was a different flavor that could be used as a variety. The nutrition will be better than that of green vegetables, and it will be easier to take care of than green vegetables. ”

"Is that really the case?" The old woman was stunned.

Gao Fangping nodded, looked into the distance and muttered, "It's always been like this, this is the natural survival of the fittest." In fact, mutant strings are ubiquitous, but people generally don't notice them. If your daughter-in-law takes good care of this piece of vegetables, and one of them does not die, you will not find that these special varieties are mixed in it, who has the kung fu to eat vegetables and identify one leaf after another, yes, not all of them are cut and boiled and stuffed into the doll's mouth, and the doll will be punched and kicked if he is disobedient. Therefore, mutations are happening all the time, and there are occasionally many excellent mutated varieties in rice, but they are all harvested and eaten by everyone. Only accidents can make them discovered. For example, your daughter-in-law is lazy, and other normal vegetables die, so these are the bugs on the bald head, which are regarded as typical. ”

"Is this really a breed?" Her daughter-in-law walked up like an anime, and her eyes turned into copper coin symbols.

"Yes, if you're not lazy, you can cultivate and plant, I don't know how many people accept it, but I don't think it's delicious or unpalatable. If I am a substitute, I will change this thing to eat after eating green vegetables for three days, anyway, it is all eating, the advantage is that this species allows you to be lazy, and it is not difficult to take care of. Gao Fangping left after speaking, so of course no one cared about the fact that the woman's skull was broken.

The principle of these women's dishes is the same as those precious rice of Ding Er. It's just that Ding Er has understanding, understands, and ruins his family. And these mothers-in-law don't understand.

Now Ding Er's technology has evolved for many generations.

However, Chengdu doesn't need those things for the time being, and his tech tree is mainly aimed at "relatively water-scarce areas". Of course, there is no shortage of water in Chengdu Prefecture.

However, I heard that now he has started to develop branches, starting from the production volume. It is believed that in another three to five years, the first batch of high-yield grain varieties can be exploded in this land of abundance under Gao Fangping's enhanced version of the Dujiangyan project.......
