Chapter 343 Uninvited Guests 3
"This, even with such a long distance between them, there are still 300 kilograms. If the distance between them is closer, and the wide ditch is narrower, more rapeseed can be planted. Wouldn't the yield be higher? Ziyi is still young, and the land is wasted!" Wang Guoqing looked regretful.
Yi Ke couldn't help but said, "Uncle Wang, if we follow your method, it will only reduce production, not increase it."
"Why? Doesn't it mean the yield will increase if we plant one more tree?" Wang Guoqing asked curiously.
"Uncle Wang, our rapeseed variety is different. The plants are tall, with vigorous branching, and the branches are located relatively low, so they need to be planted sparsely. This is different from the short and strong varieties of rapeseed in your village. It doesn't matter if your rapeseed has a higher density. Look at how thick the stems of our rapeseed are. The yield will definitely be high next year." Yi Ke looked at the rapeseed that was growing well, his eyes and brows filled with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, let's go. Later, let my godfather take you to visit the farm. He can answer any questions you have." Seeing that Uncle Wang was reluctant to leave, he hurriedly suggested.
"Okay, let's go." Wang Guoqing reluctantly left the field.
The ox cart returned to the paradise, and they had to walk. After walking a short distance, Wang Guoqing saw people repairing a canal.
These canals lead to the fields. In the past, they just dug a ditch. When it rains heavily or over time, these ditches will be blocked by mud and sand.
Ever since Ziyi recovered his memory, he has made cement. Now these canals have been rebuilt with cement, sand and stones. We will no longer have to clean the canals from time to time. Moreover, there will be water flowing in the canals for a long time, making it very convenient to use water in the fields.
This canal was built in the shape of a "田" (field) in these fields and was planned by the chief designer Yi Ke.
"Ziyi's wife, this is such a huge project. This piece of land must be over a thousand acres," Wang Guoqing exclaimed.
"Uncle Wang, look over there, those people are going to reclaim land after cutting down the debris. By then, there will be thousands of acres. With these canals, not only will it be convenient for crops to use water, but even if there is a rainstorm, the mountain water cannot enter the fields and will flow away through the canals. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, so this project is worth doing." Yi Ke said proudly.
These are from our own village. By then, everyone in our village will be a millionaire, haha.
A pair of pigeons flapped their powerful wings and flew towards their target. As soon as they spread their wings, they flew to Taoyuan Village and disappeared into the cave...
Wang Guoqing looked at the green fields with envy. The wheat fields, facing the cold wind, raised up green waves. He really wished that there would be such waves in Beishan Village.
They passed an orchard. Large areas of the fruit trees had lost their leaves, leaving only the bare fruit trees standing firmly. Several workers were carrying buckets and whitewashing the tree trunks.
"What are they brushing the trees with?" Wang Guoqing found that since entering the village, he didn't understand many things and he had become a problem baby.
"Whitewash the tree trunks to keep them warm in winter and reduce frost damage. Why does it feel like such a long walk?" Before Yi Ke could reply, Ma Youcai answered first.
Ma Youcai wanted to see his wife as soon as possible, but Wang Guoqing was procrastinating.
"Is it lime water? Will it really work?" Questioning baby Wang Guoqing did not understand Ma Youcai's anxious mentality at all.
"It's not just lime water, there's also sulfur powder mixed in." Yi Ke explained patiently, "Uncle Wang, look, those people covered the tree canopy with straw mats, and they irrigated it last month. These methods can enhance the ability to resist cold damage."
"Who came up with all these ideas? You're really talented. It would be great if we had such talented people in our village. Every winter, many crops and fruit trees would be frozen to death. We used to plant fruit trees in our village, but they couldn't survive the winter, so we stopped planting them. The fruits of those fruit trees that are not afraid of frost are not valuable. If our village had such talented people, the members would never go hungry." Wang Guoqing sighed.
Yi Ke curled his lips secretly and reminded him, "Uncle Wang, the villagers have been farming like that for generations. I'm afraid even if there is such a capable person, he won't be able to play a role."
Wang Guoqing thought of the poverty alleviation methods he had come up with several times for the village, but the secretary just... forget it, he decided not to think about it anymore. This time he came into the mountains, he was determined to learn these skills, and when he got out he would do the same thing, no matter who opposed. He had to be tough this time, otherwise the village would never be able to get out of poverty.
Yi Ke saw Wang Guoqing's expression change several times, and thought that if he still didn't make changes, this visit to the mountains would be in vain. If he is willing to change, I can help him plan it. I am not called a designer for nothing, I am the real deal.
The few people finally arrived at the gate of Taoyuan Village. It turned out that the crack in the cave was repaired and a gate was installed. The crack used to be less than half a meter wide, but now it has been artificially widened to allow ox carts to enter the cave. The ground has also been paved with stone strips and slabs, and the water flowing out of the cave flows out from the small ditch under the stone strips.
Yike led the way, introducing how this long crack passage used to be bumpy and how they had to step into the water, etc., how Li Haoran and Ziyi and their colleagues dug a canal to divert all the water into the canal and let it flow out, and how they worked hard to lay the stone strips and slabs.
Although Ma Youcai and Tang Jianguo had come here many times, no one introduced this passage to them, and they thought that this passage was formed naturally like this.
"Brother Ziyi and Uncle Hao are so amazing. These stone bars and slabs are so heavy, how did they move them?" Ma Youcai sighed.
"It was carried here. Do you think it was carried here on the back?" Tang Jianguo was disdainful of Ma Youcai's stupid question.
"He's very strong, very amazing." Wang Guoqing agreed.
After a few people walked through this crack passage, they were greeted by a series of "quack quack quack" sounds. A group of white geese were floating on the water, like white clouds falling into the lake, eye-catching and dazzling.
When the white geese saw the few people suddenly coming out, they quacked and swam towards the center of the lake. The goose's call rises and falls, the sounds are perfectly connected, without pause, and it exhales unique connotations with unique melody.
The first to come running following the geese's cries were the two wolf cubs that were left at home. The cubs happily circled around the goose, wagging their tails from side to side.
The little wolf that followed Yi Ke back pounced on the other two little wolves to compete for their favor. He knocked one down, but forgot that the little wolf at home had helpers. So the three little wolves fell down, got up, chased each other and rushed to the village...
