Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

"Before you ask questions, can you answer my questions first?"

Xu Damao took out the photos he had taken in the fields, left a few on the stage, and distributed the rest.

An audience member in the audience looked at the photo in his hand. It was a photo of Xu Damao standing in front of a wheat field.

"The first question is, why do all the leaves of wheat die before it is fully mature?"

"Second question, will the shriveled wheat grains in the photo sprout if you continue to plant them the next year?"

The back door of the auditorium opened, and several middle-aged people walked in and sat in the back.

"Leaves die because of 'water shortage' and 'insect damage', so in my opinion, the first step is to build water conservancy projects. As long as there is no shortage of water, crop yields will not be much worse no matter how bad they are."

"Pest control means pest control, and this requires talents like Professor Fang."

"Of course, the focus of what I want to say today is the second question. Will shriveled wheat grains still sprout next year if they are planted?"

"Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest thousands of seeds in autumn. If the seeds you plant don't germinate, then even the seeds have been planted."

Xu Damao wrote two words on the blackboard behind him: "Keep seeds."

The scene was so big, Xu Damao had to bite the bullet.

"This is around Sijiu City. There is no way to use such seeds, so we have to choose seeds from good places..."

"Pesticide soaking can prevent insect bites..."

"Deeper cultivated land will take deeper roots and grow stronger. In my opinion, there is no need for pesticides and chemical fertilizers. As long as cultivated land + good varieties + water conservancy, we can double the current crop yield. In the future, pesticides and chemical fertilizers will be widely used, and the yield will increase." It will only be higher.”

Xu Damao talked a lot and even explained the principle of 'compost retting' (farmyard manure).

Of course, just saying no was not possible. When Xu Damao came, he brought a bag of wheat ears and distributed them again.

All are round and plump.

"Only from such seeds can we grow high-quality wheat."

Only through comparison can we know more clearly the difference between good and bad. These are what he picked out from the system farm.

"If you have any questions, you can ask."

There are far fewer hands raised than at the beginning.

Xu Damao pointed at one casually.

"Mr. Xu, I know you. If you can make hens lay two eggs a day, it is certainly not a problem to double the crop yield..."

It turned out that he was still a student from Sijiu City, and he didn’t know how many students in this hall came because of his name.

"Today we are only talking about crops, and breeding and farming are completely different directions. This student, please sit down first."

"Mr. Xu, you also said that these are two different directions. I also agree with your statement. I believe you can do it, but I still want to ask, who did you study with?"

"I have benefited a lot from self-study and from my uncle who was a farmer during movie screenings in the countryside, as well as the books given to me by Director Qian."

In fact, these things are not that difficult. All Xu Damao did was summarize them and then gave a conclusion of doubling crop yields.

Now it has been recognized by most people here.

"Then can you predict the future output in all aspects?"

"There is absolutely no need to predict this, because there are goals to chase."

Xu Damao just mentioned it and didn't go into it in depth, otherwise it would be a taboo.

"What we have to do is to change the 'land depends on the sky for food'. If we can build tractors, we don't need cattle to cultivate the land, we can irrigate droughts with water, we can treat pests with medicine, and we can use fertilizers if we are short of fertilizer. Only in this way can we be completely self-sufficient."

Xu Damao also knows how to draw cakes.

The group of people in the audience were excited and applauded thunderously.

As for how to cultivate high-quality seeds, Xu Damao didn't say, and they didn't ask.

"Director Lin from the Agriculture Department is invited to give a speech."

This is the concluding statement.

The way of speaking is very similar to Xu Weimin. I don't understand it very well, but I can summarize it well.

He even praised Xu Damao twice.

At this point, a few middle-aged people sitting in the last row had already left early.

Xu Damao thought there would be something else, but the meeting was disbanded.

But that 'Yuan Qingshan' insisted on inviting Xu Damao to sit with him.

Xu Damao wanted to refuse, but this man was so enthusiastic that he even attracted Director Qian, and then Mr. Chen also followed. As soon as Mr. Chen came, a few more followed him sparsely. Xu Damao had no choice. Refused.

Go out and turn right for 200 meters.

【Agricultural Science Research Institute】

Xu Damao:......

Good guys, this meeting is held next to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

"This is the headquarters of agriculture, forestry and fishery. No matter which school it is, as long as it is engaged in research in this field, it has a place here. For example, Professor Fang and Professor An come here several times a year and always live here."

Everyone has a heart that wants to build a home.

"This is a pesticide test field."

"This is a chemical fertilizer test field."

"This is a test field for selecting the best varieties. After planting, we found that because of the cold weather, the crops grown in the north have deeper root systems, thicker stalks, and are resistant to lodging..."

"This is the high-quality variety we have cultivated. After this autumn harvest, we will go out of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and plant it on a larger scale."

Dean Yuan explained as he walked, holding the wheat ears that Xu Damao took out.

Mr. Chen also had one in his hand, and he was bending over to compare it with the experimental field in front of him.

Xu Damao felt a little panicked for no reason.

"What you just mentioned is actually what we have been doing. Just for water conservancy alone, we can increase production by 50%. The construction of water conservancy projects has been included in the plan. In the year after next, the varieties here will be promoted nationwide. You said It’s absolutely possible to double the output.”

Xu Damao:......

These are things that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been doing, and it seems like he has taken away the credit.

"It's gratifying that the crop yield you said doubled, but in fact we farmers all know this. What's more important is your vision. As a farmer, you can draw such a conclusion because there is not enough feed. You should He is a natural born farmer.”

A born farmer.

Mr. Chen stood up and adjusted his glasses.

"Xu Damao, where did these wheat ears come from? Why do they look much better to me than the wheat ears grown in the experimental field?"

Xu Damao:......

"This is what I planted in a flower pot when I was bored. I didn't have to worry about it. I just didn't lack water, and it grew like this. After comparison, I thought water conservancy was very important."

"Water is really important."

"If there was no shortage of water, there would be drought last year and this year."

Xu Damao was silent on the spot.

He didn't say anything about whether it was a drought or not.

He just felt that the farmland outside was dry and lacked water and food.

"If water can be diverted, dig water. If water can't be diverted, dig wells. It's not enough for each production team to plow the land with an ox. A tractor is enough for each production team..."
