Chapter 78 Agricultural Innovation
Thanks to Chu Mohan's efforts, art has flourished in this land and has become an indispensable part of people's lives. The light of art illuminates every corner, adding endless color and warmth to the world.
At the same time, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan also set their sights on the agricultural sector. In that era, agriculture was the foundation of people's livelihood, but traditional agricultural production methods and limited crop varieties often made it difficult for food production to meet people's needs, and hunger and poverty still plagued many people.
By chance, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan discovered some new and unique crop varieties while traveling around. These varieties grew well in other areas and had high yields. They realized that if they could introduce these varieties to their hometown, they might be able to greatly increase agricultural production and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
After returning to their hometown, they immediately started to prepare a plan to introduce new crop varieties. First, they asked around to find experts and scholars who had in-depth research on crop varieties. After some efforts, they met an agronomy expert named Li Lao. Li Lao has devoted his life to the research and cultivation of crops and knows the characteristics and growth environment of various crops very well.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan enthusiastically invited Mr. Li to join their agricultural innovation plan. Mr. Li was moved by their sincerity and determination to seek welfare for the people and readily agreed.
Under the guidance of Mr. Li, they began to screen and cultivate new crop varieties. They introduced some high-yield rice and wheat seeds from afar, as well as some vegetable and fruit varieties suitable for local climate and soil conditions. In order to ensure that these new varieties can adapt to the new environment smoothly, they opened up a test field in their own fields and carefully carried out sowing, fertilization, irrigation and management.
During the growth of crops, Gu Qianning, Chu Mohan and Mr. Li stayed in the experimental fields almost every day, carefully observing the growth of each crop, recording their growth cycle, pests and diseases, and their ability to adapt to the environment. When they encountered problems, they discussed solutions together, consulted a large number of agricultural books and materials, and constantly tried new methods and technologies.
After a period of hard work, the new varieties of crops in the experimental fields gradually showed their advantages. The new rice and wheat seeds have full grains and much higher yields than local varieties; the newly introduced vegetable varieties grow quickly, taste delicious and are rich in nutrition; the fruit varieties also bear abundant fruits that are sweet and juicy.
Seeing the initial results of the test field, Gu Qianning, Chu Mohan and Li Lao were all excited. However, they also knew clearly that many problems needed to be solved in order to promote these new varieties to the vast farmland.
The first is the problem of farmers' acceptance. As they have long been accustomed to traditional crop varieties and planting methods, many farmers are skeptical about these new things, worrying that the new varieties will not adapt to the local environment, resulting in reduced production or even no harvest. In order to solve this problem, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan decided to organize an agricultural technology promotion event.
They invited farmers from surrounding villages to the test field to show them the growth and advantages of the new crop varieties. Mr. Li explained the characteristics, planting methods and precautions of the new varieties to the farmers in detail. In order to eliminate the farmers' worries, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan also promised to provide them with free seeds and technical guidance, and purchase their agricultural products at a price higher than the market price during the harvest season.
Thanks to their efforts, some farmers who dared to try were the first to accept the new varieties and began to plant them in their own fields. As the first batch of farmers achieved a good harvest, more and more farmers saw the potential of the new varieties and joined the ranks of planting.
After solving the variety problem, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan began to focus on the innovation of agricultural production technology. They found that the traditional agricultural irrigation method was inefficient and wasted a lot of water resources; the fertilization method was not scientific enough, resulting in low fertilizer utilization. So they began to research and introduce new irrigation and fertilization technologies.
After much investigation and study, they introduced an advanced drip irrigation technology. This technology can deliver water and fertilizer directly to the roots of crops, greatly improving the utilization rate of water resources and fertilizers, while also reducing labor input. In order to enable farmers to master this technology, they organized several training activities to teach farmers how to install and use drip irrigation equipment.
In terms of fertilization, they promoted the soil testing and formula fertilization technology. Through soil testing, they understand the nutrient status of the soil, and then accurately formulate fertilizers according to the needs of crops. This technology not only improves the effect of fertilizers, but also reduces fertilization costs and reduces pollution to the environment.
In addition to irrigation and fertilization technology, they also introduced some new agricultural machinery, such as seeders, harvesters, etc. The use of these machines has greatly improved the efficiency of agricultural production and reduced the labor intensity of farmers.
In the process of agricultural innovation, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan also encountered many difficulties and challenges. Once, due to abnormal climate, a batch of newly introduced crops were attacked by pests and diseases. Pests and diseases are fierce, and if they are not controlled in time, they will lead to large-scale production reduction or even crop failure.
Gu Qianning, Chu Mohan and Li Lao acted quickly. They stayed in the fields day and night to observe the development of pests and diseases and study prevention and control plans. They consulted a lot of information, consulted many experts, and tried various prevention and control methods. After unremitting efforts, they finally found effective prevention and control measures, successfully controlled the spread of pests and diseases, and saved crops.
Another time, when promoting new agricultural technologies, some farmers were reluctant to accept the new technologies because of their outdated ideas. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were not discouraged. They went deep into the farmers and communicated with them patiently to understand their concerns and worries. Through actual cases and on-site demonstrations, they showed them the advantages and benefits of the new technologies. In the end, the farmers were moved by their sincerity and persistence and gradually accepted the new technologies.
After several years of hard work, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's agricultural innovation plan has achieved remarkable results. Agricultural output has increased significantly, which not only solved the problem of food and clothing for local people, but also provided a large amount of food and agricultural products for surrounding areas. Farmers' income has increased and their living standards have been greatly improved.
With the development of agriculture, the appearance of rural areas has also undergone tremendous changes. The once dilapidated villages have become clean and beautiful, and new houses have sprung up; rural roads are wide and flat, and transportation is more convenient; public facilities such as schools and hospitals have also been gradually improved, and the level of education and medical care in rural areas has been significantly improved.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's agricultural innovations attracted the attention of the court. The court sent officials to inspect and highly praised and commended their work. With the support of the court, their agricultural innovation technology began to be promoted nationwide, making important contributions to the country's agricultural development and food security.
However, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan are not satisfied with their existing achievements. They know that the development of agriculture is a process of continuous innovation and progress. In the future, they will continue to explore and research, introduce more advanced technologies and varieties, and strive to achieve sustainable agricultural development and rural revitalization.
