One dark night, several airships slowly landed at the airship take-off and landing field in the Luliangshan base area. Li Ming, Song Tao, Ma Qing and others, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted them. Gao Jianguo, Wang He, and several members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors of the Far East Company, as well as more than a dozen members, walked down from the airship pod one after another.

When Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others saw Li Ming's appearance, they couldn't help but be stunned. Li Ming and the others stayed in the Luliangshan base area under extremely difficult conditions for a few months, and they didn't feel anything, but in the eyes of Gao Jianguo and Wang He, it was a different look.

One by one, they got stubbled beards, because they often worked on the front line, and everyone was used to wearing a shabby military coat. Those who don't know think they are also homeless people in the base area.

Gao Jianguo held Li Ming's hand tightly, shook it vigorously and said, "Li Ming, everyone has worked hard in the past few months......

After listening to Gao Jianguo's words, before Li Ming could speak, Song Tao next to him smiled and said, "Big brother, don't you know, what kind of life are our buddies living here." We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and you have finally come......"

Everyone laughed when they heard him. Li Ming scolded with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's good here." We arranged a supper for the leaders, and everyone had a good rest after eating. Tomorrow, I will personally lead the leaders to take a look at all parts of the base area. ”

Li Ming led Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others to the station of the base management committee, which was actually a row of caves. Because of the limited conditions of the base area, the food arranged is also relatively shabby.

Gao Jianguo looked at the furnishings in the cave, glanced at the food on the table, turned his head to Wang He beside him, and then said to Li Ming: "The conditions in the base area are so difficult, can you communicate with the company?" Although the company this year because of the acceptance of displaced people. The pressure on materials is very great, but our Far Eastern family has a big business, and we are not inferior to you. ”

Li Ming said with a wry smile: "At present, the situation in the base area is not bad, although the conditions in all aspects are very difficult, but everyone's enthusiasm is very high. They're all gearing up to do a big job. Next year, the situation in the base areas will be improved, and a lot of work will be carried out in the base areas one after another.

In fact, he is currently working in the base area. The main thing is to eat. Relying on the plundering of the mountains alone is not a long-term solution after all. Zhou Lin has drawn up an agricultural development plan for the base area, which is ready to be implemented this spring. Last year, we organized a large number of displaced people to open up wasteland in the base areas, built a large number of agricultural infrastructure, and prepared to plant corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in large areas of the base areas during the spring ploughing period.

The biggest problem facing the development of agricultural resources in the base areas is that the local drought situation will affect the irrigation of agricultural cultivated land in the base areas. We've done a lot of work to do that. A number of water sources have been found in the nearby mountainous areas, and more than a dozen steam pumps have been set up to do their best to ensure water irrigation during this year's spring ploughing. ”

After Li Ming finished speaking, he smiled at Zhou Lin behind him and said, "Old Zhou, you are an expert in this field, you can introduce to you the next step of the development plan of agricultural resources in the base area." ”

Zhou Lin nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Before I came to Shanxi, I was in the seed cultivation center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the company. It has been studied suitable for cold-resistant corn varieties in the northern region of Daming. It has biological attributes such as drought tolerance, cold tolerance, and sandy soil. In China's vast mountainous and hilly areas, the agricultural production environment is not superior. However, its hydraulic, soil and climatic conditions are more suitable for growing maize.

In this era, because corn has not yet been introduced into the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the vast mountainous area of the Ming Dynasty cannot effectively implement agricultural development, and the land use value is very low, the main reason is the trouble of the water and soil conditions in the mountains. Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan, where the climate is relatively arid, can plant corn in a large area, and there are also the characteristics of liking sunshine and fear of waterlogging. Besides. Corn is hardy.

In addition to corn, potatoes can also be grown in large areas in the base area, and potatoes are also cold-tolerant, drought-resistant, barren-tolerant, and widely adaptable, making them easier to grow. It belongs to the "four provinces" crops of "saving water, fertilizer, medicine and energy". In addition, sweet potatoes that are drought tolerant and barren, with high yield and stable yield, will also be planted in a large area of the base area.

Of course, due to the extreme climate during the Xiaoice River period and the severe drought in Shanxi in the next few years, it is estimated that the yield of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the base area may not reach the level of Liaodong. Moreover, there is a lack of sufficient chemical fertilizer in the base area, so the manure can only be collected in the base area, an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate, calcium phosphate, and bicarbonate are added, and then plant straw, plant ash and other raw materials are mixed with the soil, and then piled into piles and sealed with mud, and finally made into various soil organic fertilizers.

Last year, we mobilized a large number of displaced people to produce a large amount of soil-based organic fertilizer in the base area. The quantity is sufficient for spring ploughing according to the ground. During last year's winter training, I selected a group of people from among the displaced people to set up a special agricultural study class. I am ready to train them well and let them become the first batch of agricultural and forestry technicians in the Luliangshan base area. ”

Wang He listened to Zhou Lin's words and said with a smile: "Zhou Lin, can the Luliangshan base area engage in some poultry and livestock breeding like the Liaodong region in the future?" ”

Zhou Lin nodded with a smile and said, "There are many sloping meadows near the base area, and the base area can develop the animal husbandry resources there in the future." However, it is impossible to engage in the kind of intensive farming in eastern Liaoning, and the scale of output will definitely not go up. Judging from the current situation, poultry and livestock breeding in the base areas will not be able to take shape on a large scale within a few years.

However, this is a good place for mushroom cultivation, and this year we will establish several mushroom cultivation and breeding bases in various parts of the base area. Once the cultivation is successful, the yield will form a scale, which will greatly enrich the non-staple food structure of the base area. In the end, I conclude that within three years, the base areas will not be able to achieve self-sufficiency. ”

Gao Jianguo sneered and said, "It's okay, since the food is not enough, then you can go to the neighborhood to loot." Anyway, the homes of those landlords and bureaucrats are full of grain, and they don't rob them for nothing. ”

Li Ming frowned and said in a deep voice: "At present, because our Luliangshan base area was built relatively early, the conditions are still in the past. However, the company's work in several other bases in Daming is even worse. Some time ago, I took an airship and walked through several base areas, and the situation is not optimistic. At the end of last year, some base areas ran out of grain, so they had to frequently go down the mountains to loot grain. (To be continued......)
