Chapter 1115: Another Miracle (Fourth Update!) )
September and October were a bumper year for the border area, and Wang Ping and Ouyang Antong, as well as their newborn son and mother-in-law, moved to a new home in Yanchang County Government.
As Yanchang County gets closer and closer to the autumn harvest, Ouyang Antong is becoming more and more busy, and at the same time, he is becoming more and more nervous.
I was busy in Yanchang County for half a year, making several decisions to increase grain production.
Now, it's time to validate your work.
If you decide whether it will be effective or not, it depends on the autumn harvest yield in a few days.
"Lao Yang, why are you here!" As soon as Ouyang Antong walked into the office early in the morning, his deputy, Lao Yang, walked in with an excited face.
"County Magistrate Ouyang, Head Wang, you are all here!" already knew that Wang Ping's approximate identity was Lao Yang, and when he saw Wang Ping standing in the office, he was stunned for a moment and reacted.
"Today, there are dozens of acres of land to be harvested in Zhoujiazhuang, and judging from the situation of Zhoujia Village, the growth of these dozens of acres of grain is very good. The village chief of Zhoujiazhuang came over early in the morning and invited us to come over to see their harvest this year! ”
"You know, because of the drought, the grain growth in several nearby counties is very poor. There are even many places that have given up a lot of land because of the lack of water. We are an exception to this rule, because the county magistrate has built irrigation canals and water trucks to draw water from rivers in every village on a cash-for-work basis. Not a single acre of land in Yanchang County has been abandoned due to drought, and the people are now grateful to you, the county magistrate! ”
"Go, definitely go, such a good thing must go, and by the way, we can also judge the grain output of our Yanchang County this year!" Ouyang Antong hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Wang Ping next to him had already made a decision.
As a husband, Wang Ping can clearly feel that his wife is in a trance these days.
As for the reason, Wang Ping can guess a rough idea without asking, the autumn harvest is imminent, and the time has come to test the results of his half-year efforts. As the person being tested, Ouyang Antong was nervous, which was unavoidable.
In order to let Ouyang Antong relax as soon as possible, there is only one way, and that is to have confidence in his efforts for half a year.
And the matter in front of him is undoubtedly the best way to restore Ouyang Antong's confidence.
"Okay, let's go. Inform the other cadres of the county government, except for the three people who were left on duty, everyone else went over to help with the harvest, and I wanted to know the yield of those dozens of acres of land as soon as possible. ”
Old man Zhou, as a dealer who has been farming for decades, has a family of five. Because there are three strong laborers in the family, a total of six acres of land are planted.
After the county government proposed that he could rent cattle to plough the land, the old man Zhou, who had worked as a long-term laborer, was well aware of the benefits of deep ploughing.
Therefore, Old Man Zhou decided to rent ploughing cattle to cultivate the land without hesitation, and then took his two sons to come to another four acres of land before spring ploughing, and a total of ten acres of land were all cultivated with ploughing oxen.
Although the Zhou family had to take out 200 catties of grain as rent to the cooperative after the autumn harvest. However, Old Man Zhou didn't care at all!
At the beginning, when many people advised him to make a careful decision and not to be reckless, he smiled silently.
As the land in the field grew better and better, the people who had gossip at the beginning slowly closed their mouths and slowly became red-eyed.
Because of the use of ploughing cattle, although the Zhou family has ten acres of land, they are the first people in the village to complete spring ploughing. Then you can hurry up and water the ground so that the grain in the field can ripen first.
Of the dozens of acres of land to be harvested today, ten acres of land belong to the Zhou family.
In order to ensure that there is enough physical strength to harvest grain today, the Zhou family, who never eats dry breakfast, also ate dry breakfast for the first time today, and then prepared more than a dozen white flour steamed buns for breakfast.
When he arrived at the ground, Ouyang Antong and more than a dozen cadres from the county government were already waiting there.
Without much compliment, a total of dozens of people around dozens of acres of land began to harvest, thresh, and break away from ......
As soon as noon, more than half of the land was harvested, and the Zhou family's ten acres of land were the first to be harvested.
"County magistrate, the grain output of the Zhou family has been counted, a total of ten acres of land, the current weight is three thousand nine hundred and fifty-six jin, after drying the water, at least two thousand eight hundred catties can be left, the average target is two hundred and eighty catties!"
"So tall?" Everyone was frightened by this number, and they were dumbfounded, and they were stunned for a long time before they reacted.
You must know that in previous years, the grain output of the Zhou family's land could reach 200 catties, which was already a bumper harvest. And in front of me, the yield per mu that directly reached 280 catties is definitely a huge surprise!
Zhou Laohan, the owner of these lands, was also brought over, and when he saw Ouyang Antong, he wanted to kneel.
"Hello county magistrate, I thank you on behalf of the entire Zhou family, without you, it would be absolutely impossible for our Zhou family to harvest so much grain?"
"Hello fellow, you don't have to do this. If I'm not mistaken, I met you when I first introduced the manure technology! Ouyang Antong replied very happily.
"If it weren't for your strong support, we wouldn't have been able to promote the technology so smoothly. If we have to say anything, we would like to thank you! ”
Then he stared at Old Man Zhou and asked, "Fellow, these lands are all yours, and the grain is also planted by you." The average yield per mu has increased by 80 catties all of a sudden, can you tell me the reason? ”
"I know for three reasons!" Zhou Laohan hesitated and replied.
"The first thing is water, with the canal leading to the river, we only need someone to use the water wheel to water the canal to water the land, saving labor and effort, less than two days, the Zhou family's ten acres of land will be watered!"
"Then there is the use of ploughing cattle for deep ploughing, which can increase the yield of the land, which I knew when I used to work as a long-term worker for the landlord!"
"The third reason is the extensive use of our own fertilizer!"
"With the self-made fertilizer, I can clearly feel that the crops are growing better than before!"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Laohan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "A total of 2,800 catties of grain, the rent of 200 catties of grain to the cooperative, leaving 200 catties of grain as next year's grain, we still have 2,400 catties of grain left to eat, according to the calculation of one pound of grain a day for one person, except for the rations of our whole family of five, there will be at least 500 catties of grain left, and if you sell it, you can earn at least eight oceans!" ”
"No, I also have two sheep at home, no accident, I will be able to give birth in a month, and there will be two oceans of wages at that time! No, I don't want the ocean, I want two lambs, and if I can, I want to exchange grain for another European lamb. In this way, by this time next year, our Zhou family will have at least seven sheep, three big sheep, and the rest will be all lambs......"
Seeing that Zhou Laohan was more and more happy, Wang Ping suddenly interjected: "Old man, after I have surplus grain at home, I suggest that I use the surplus grain to exchange for a few chicks and come back." Chickens grow fast, and once fed, hens can lay an egg every two days! ”
"I can also get a little piglet back, and now there are more than three months before the Chinese New Year, and if you feed it, the weight of the piglets can at least triple. When the time comes, you will not only be able to eat pork during the New Year, but you can also send the excess pork to the market to sell, and exchange it for money, which will definitely make money! ”
The old man who didn't know Wang Ping's identity lit up and said: "This method is good, after all the grain is dried, I will go to buy piglets and chickens~"
