The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 14 Autumn Planting

"Teacher this..." When Yang Dongxu entered the room, Chen Weimin just put down the paper in his hand, and looked at his teacher with a serious expression.

"He wrote it, what can you ask him?" Zhou Yiren pointed to Yang Dongxu who had just entered.

This made Chen Weimin, who had a dignified expression, look stunned, and turned to look at Yang Dongxu, a little boy.

"The words of some old farmers are much more useful than the experience in some of your long-winded books, and the ambition is not too old." Seeing his student's appearance, Zhou Yiren knew what was going on in his heart and said.

"Teacher, he..." Chen Weimin showed a wry smile on his face, and when he wanted to say something, he found that his teacher's expression didn't look like a joke, and the handwriting on the paper in his hand was not his teacher's. He couldn't help but look at Yang Dongxu seriously.

Chen Weimin also likes his little brother, not to mention smart and sensible. But when this age involved Wuli Town, a town with a population of 50,000, he always felt a little unreliable.

"Can you briefly talk about your article?" Chen Weimin adjusted his mentality and chose to trust his teacher and said to Yang Dongxu.

But obviously he didn't choose to believe it completely. This question was obviously considered an exam question. If Yang Dongxu couldn't even explain what was written on the paper, then there was no need to ask again.

Taking a look at his teacher's appearance, Yang Dongxu knew that he couldn't escape today, so he sat down on his small stool.

"Materials are the basis of economic development. Simply put, you have things in your hands and commodities before you can sell them, or exchange them with others for what you want.

The material basis of the countryside is grain. Only by increasing the production of grain can we have enough food. After the grain is full, the remaining grain can be fed to pigs, chickens, etc., so that when pigs and chickens grow up, they can be sold as commodities for money, and can be used to buy other goods. what you need"

What Yang Dongxu said in the article is very general, but very specific. He didn't talk about how to open up the trading market and how to facilitate farmers' mutual transactions, but proposed how to enrich farmers' basic materials.

Food is the most basic thing for farmers, as long as there is enough food, the stomach is full. Farmers will want to get more things to enrich their material life, and after the material life has improved to a certain level, they will start to pursue spiritual life.

Therefore, the first thing to do to promote economic development is to let the farmers have enough to eat. If you don’t promote it when you are full, the farmers will spontaneously form a market. Yang Dongxu's whole article has the feeling of moistening the rain and making no sound.

"Teacher, this. This is really." After listening to Yang Dongxu analyze and explain all the content in the article one by one, Chen Weimin looked at Yang Dongxu as if he was looking at a monster.

If he didn't know what his teacher was like, he would have thought that his teacher had asked Yang Dongxu to memorize these things in advance. A child who is less than seven years old has such a mature mind and talent, really, really.

"If you find it useful, you can take some measures to implement it, and don't say more about other things." Zhou Yiren waved his hand. Looking at Yang Dongxu with a smile, he was obviously very satisfied with his student's performance today.

"It's useful, it's really useful. It can be implemented not only in Wuli Town, but also in the entire region. Increasing food production is a slogan that we shout every year, no, every day. I can implement this slogan. Not only will nothing happen, but it will be credited." Chen Weimin said a little excitedly.

Chen Weimin came to Yangjia Village in a hurry, sat for less than two hours and left in a hurry.

The next day the whole area was mobilized to implement a plan - to find fertilizer.

Chemical fertilizer is a scarce thing in this era, and it is also a powerful tool for growing crops. With it, high-yield food will not work. But how to get fertilizer is a problem.

Going out to buy is obviously not enough, so Zhou Yiren suggested that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people to fish. The production of chemical fertilizers is not complicated and does not require high technology, so getting the machinery back and opening a fertilizer factory is definitely a win-win situation Chen Weimin also deeply agrees with the good situation.

Yang Dongxu didn't know if the fertilizer factory had been established when the wheat began to be planted in autumn.

That’s right, it’s for receiving rather than buying. At this time, farmers still don’t trust chemical fertilizers so much, and no one will buy them if they ask for money. Even if it is brought back, it is mandatory to use, and the village head must supervise the scattering into the field.

"Mr. Zhou, are these pungent powders really useful?" The grandfather squatting on the ground asked worriedly.

Crops are the lifeblood of farmers. Sprinkling those pungent powders into the farmland can increase the yield of several hundred catties of wheat. No matter how he sees it, it is unreliable.

"Don't worry, this is a good thing like a secret recipe. Although the output is limited because of the lack of increase, next year will definitely be more grain than this year." Zhou Yiren comforted with a smile.

"Not too much, just a little." The grandfather gritted his teeth and showed an ugly smile.

After the autumn harvest, Yangjia Village gradually stopped selling aquatic products in the area. The rice field eels and loaches have already started wintering. The number of fish in the river has decreased after a summer, and they need to rest. Fishing in the dry land is not an option for farmers who want to live a good life now, so all transactions began to slow down.

However, it is foreseeable that this year will be a fat year. After the public grain is paid, there will be a lot of grain left in each granary. Although it is impossible to eat three dry meals a day, it is still possible to barely eat with some dried red taro and other miscellaneous grains, instead of just mixing half a bag like before.

It's just that grandpa is a little sad to see the chemical fertilizers sprinkled on the ground, and I don't know what will happen next year.

After the autumn planting, the people in the countryside were free. After a few days, they saw that the wheat seedlings had grown green and the market was very good. The farmers who had been worried at first finally put their hearts into their stomachs, and then began to use molds to make adobe to build a building. A side room, or a pigsty or something.

The production of adobe is very simple. Mix some wheat bran or crushed wheat straw into the mud, fill it into a mold and pound it firmly, then remove the mold and put the adobe about one foot long and two feet long on the ground to dry. Finally, use it as bricks to build a house.

Brick and tile houses are still a luxury for farmers today, and adobe houses are the main color of the countryside. Seeing adobe, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but think of red bricks. Nowadays, more sophisticated families in rural areas use ordinary blue bricks, and most of them are still building houses with adobe. Red bricks are a good thing that only urbanites can afford.

In fact, the firing of red bricks does not have much technical content, as long as a brick kiln is installed to control the high temperature. Thinking about the water leaking in his house when it rains, the adobe house will either crack or the walls will start to crook in a few years, Yang Dongxu feels that he should do something.

"Brother, brother-in-law is here, dad told you to go to the back house." Not long after returning home from the field, Yang Dongxu's uncle shouted through the wall.

Yang Dongxu didn't have a good impression of this uncle (father's younger brother) for two lifetimes. In one sentence, I can sum up that my uncle is good at eating and doing everything, and he is a moth.

But the tradition of father and mother loving the youngest is everywhere. Although my youngest son is a bit of a mess, the few marriages proposed in the past few years have not been long since they were withdrawn, and even in the past two years, no one even talked about matchmaking. , but Yang Dongxu's grandparents still held him in their hands.

"I'll take a look." Father Yang smiled awkwardly at his wife, turned and left the house.

"Hmph, after a few days of comfortable life, you don't know who you are anymore?" Mama Yang snorted coldly as if she didn't see her uncle.

In the summer, I went to the district to trade several times without incident, so many of them were moved. After all, although Yang Dongxu's family understands the truth of not revealing their wealth, they can't resist the neighbors' inquiries like spies.

So the news that Yang Dongxu's family and the village chief's family got rich spread like wildfire. Although no one dared to say anything out of fear of the grandpa's majesty, many of them secretly went to the district several times, but unfortunately they couldn't find a way, so they started Ready to join the door.

Among them was Yang Dongxu, the younger uncle, who was brought by his grandfather to talk with him personally. But Dad Yang is just a delivery man for the transaction, most of the things are handled by Yang Dongxu's grandpa and grandpa, and the door of the supply and marketing cooperative is not easy for anyone to enter.

So Father Yang couldn't make the decision, so he invited both the grandpa and Yang Dongxu's grandpa to talk about it. The grandpa didn't say anything until then, but Yang Dongxu's little grandpa turned his face at that moment.

Pointing at Father Yang's nose, he yelled, saying that if he is willing to quit, he will let whoever comes in. For this reason, Yang's father and Yang's mother had a quarrel, and the relationship with Yang Dongxu's grandparents worsened. During the autumn harvest, Yang Dongxu's grandparents helped other irrelevant people harvest the crops through the ditch, and they didn't come to help Yang Dongxu's family harvest the crops. The two families didn't talk for more than a month.

In fact, Yang Dongxu's little grandfather didn't want to eat alone, but went to the district to trade. Although there was no problem, many people have already started talking strangely. Several times I went to Director Li's house to deliver things and almost got returned.

At this time, I don't want to make a fortune in silence and recruit people into the team. Do you want to continue doing it? Alright, today you brought your younger brother in for a deal and got a little extra. Is the grandpa's jealous and unbalanced? Will you also bring someone in?

You pull one person, he pulls one person, not to mention that the autumn trading has almost stopped, even if such a big team is at its busiest, Director Li dares to let you in? Not brainy at all, this is my grandfather's evaluation of Yang Dongxu's father.
