Chapter 37 Bailok
"Xiao Song, Song Qingyun, what are you doing? It took me so long to answer my phone?" A man's voice came from the other end, which was Liu Shuqing, an agronomist of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau.
Song Qingyun opened his sleepy eyes: "It turns out it's Lao Liu. I'm sorry, I slept too late last night...when is it now?"
“It’s half past eight.”
"Ah, so late!" Song Qingyun was shocked and jumped up from the bed. While driving hands free, he brushed his teeth quickly.
As the first secretary of Hongshi Village, sleeping in the village committee makes people see what it looks like. If it is sent back to the unit, wouldn’t it make others think that Song Qingyun Mountain is high and the emperor is far away and no one can control it?
He was really tired yesterday. He had been in Hongshi Village for so long and was busy making water and visiting all the poor households. After all, there were so many families, you had to come to know all the situations so that you could prescribe the right medicine. At the very least, remember that their names and appearances were not the same.
"I can't wake up in the first thirty years, but I can't sleep in the next thirty years. I really envy you young people." Liu Shuqing sighed.
Song Qingyun: "Lao Liu, you don't want to buy some rice milled from recycled rice. This thing is not easy to make, and the villagers keep it for themselves. No matter how much money they give, they will not sell it."
No one knows the crops they grow in the fields better than the villagers. The first-season rice must pursue yield, and pesticides and fertilizers can be used vigorously. The second-season recycled rice is a bonus, and everyone is too lazy to care about it. The harvest is more and less. Because of this, rice is truly green and pollution-free.
"To be honest, it's not delicious, but it's healthy!" Liu Shuqing: "I called here not to regenerate rice. By the way, Song Qingyun, do you raise chickens there?"
Song Qingyun: "Don't you bring a chicken? You and I are civilized."
"Go to you, you're still poor, Song Qingyun, you're not serious." Liu Shuqing spitted on him: "Do you raise chickens?" Song Qingyun was immediately excited when he heard this and said: "Every household is raising chickens."
"You are a run-in chicken. I'm talking about feed chickens raised on a large scale." Liu Shuqing: "To be serious, you are not the first secretary, are you responsible for targeted poverty alleviation? I know the situation in Hongshi Village. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the transportation is inconvenient, and the villagers cannot go out to work. If you want to get rid of poverty, you can only engage in planting and breeding. However, the land on the mountain is barren and you can't grow anything, so you can only do breeding. Aren't I engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry? Last year, due to various reasons, the number of broiler egg hens in various places has dropped significantly. I predict that the egg price will rise during the Chinese New Year and next year's chickens. Otherwise, you can do it too, and maybe you can really make money."
Song Qingyun was very energetic. He thought about some small projects that he had recommended to the registered households to get rid of poverty. So, when he was sleepy, he encountered a pillow: "There are really no farmers, I have done this job. Lao Liu, tell me in detail."
Liu Shuqing: "No, please first answer if anyone has run a chicken farm."
"No."
"What about the first five years?"
"Only no, if so, will there be so many poor households here?" Song Qingyun was puzzled: "Old Liu, you keep asking me if anyone here runs a chicken farm for me, what is the reason?"
"I'm mainly worried that this is a good thing, don't end up harming the people."
Only then did Liu Shuqing slowly explain the truth.
It turns out that the breeding industry has strict requirements on location and environment, just like the planting industry.
It’s okay to raise cattle and pigs, after all, they are large animals, with limited numbers, large space, and good ventilation. For example, intensively raising chickens and ducks, tens of thousands of poultry can stay in a small space, and there are leftover food and feces accumulated every day, which is simply a large petri dish for bacteria and viruses.
If you are not careful, the plague will spread, causing huge losses to farmers.
Therefore, there are many considerations in site selection.
First of all, your place must be ventilated and the environment is good. It is best to have no farming farms of the same type nearby.
Otherwise, if you have disinfected it, you will be careless in other places and may not be able to bring the disease.
Even if there are no farms nearby, there are certain risks when raising them here before. Because although the former farmer has not dried up, there may be viruses and bacteria residues in the air, soil, and water sources. Maybe one day the conditions are right and they will break out again!
The same situation can also happen in the planting industry.
Lao Liu said, don’t we have high-altitude mountainous areas here? Ginseng planting was vigorous in the past few years, but it has stopped in recent years. Do you know what the reason?
Song Qingyun asked, is it because bacteria appeared in the soil that are not suitable for ginseng cultivation?
Liu Shuqing said: "Yes, ginseng can easily get sick, and it can absorb nutrients in the soil very quickly. It only takes two years to lose fertility in the land and there will be bacteria."
Therefore, the lifespan of ginseng plantations is only three to four years, and they have to be moved away at that time. This is called shooting and changing places.
In addition, there is also this problem in growing bamboo shoots. At most ten years, the soil will lose its fertility, and old bamboo will not grow bamboo shoots. They have to cut them off and refertilize them.
After hearing this, Song Qingyun sighed: "I didn't expect there were so many tricks here."
"No, you have to pay attention to science in everything you do."
Song Qingyun said, Lao Liu, don’t worry, I have never set up a chicken farm here before, the air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful, I think this will happen... By the way, the rapeseed here was caused by the yellow mosaic virus last year, and it has been replaced with wheat this year. Will it not be transmitted to chickens?
"Where can this be followed? Can plant diseases be transmitted to animals? I have never heard of them." Liu Shuqing snorted: "If you want to spread them, you will first."
Song Qingyun laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, spread it to me first, who told me to be a young man in yellow!"
Liu Shuqing was speechless about Song Qingyun's poor words and finally said, "If you want to raise Song Qingyun, I can recommend someone from a breeding factory to know you. You can go there to get chicken seedlings and medicines, and the other party can also provide certain technical guidance. As for chicken species, I have chosen two types for you, one is broiler and the other is laying hen. I wonder which one do you want to raise?
Song Qingyun: "Laying hens, we want to raise laying hens."
“Why?”
Song Qingyun smiled bitterly: "Lao Liu, we are poor here. If we raise broilers, we are afraid that the chickens will be eaten up by the people before they are slaughtered. If it is a laying hen, it will be impossible for poor households to kill chickens and get eggs. I am really afraid."
“That’s right.”
Lao Liu is talking about whether the chicken is naturally a local chicken, but a Rock chicken introduced from abroad in the 1970s.
There are six or seven varieties of Rock chickens. The broiler is called Reed Flower, also known as Nine and a half jin. As the name suggests, this type of chicken can generally grow to Nine and a half jin when it is slaughtered, while the hen can reach Eight jin. If it is used for high-tech breeding, it can be marketed in two or three months. Normal farming in rural areas can be at most half a year, and the grain and meat conversion rate is high.
As for laying hens, they are called Bailuoke, which is commonly known as the white-feathered chicken.
Liu Shuqing said that raising Bailuoke is also very cost-effective. You can lay eggs in four months and lay about 180 eggs a year. If you use high-tech means to breed, you can reach an astonishing 250.
Song Qingyun was startled: "Bringing about 200 eggs a year, this chicken is so tired. I have raised it! Lao Liu, on behalf of the two village committees of Hongshi Village, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the villagers."
Liu Shuqing disdained: "Thank you for what's the use of me, I'll give you some affordable ones."
Song Qingyun: "The recycled rice is really gone, and I can't collect it. Why don't I treat you to a meal?"
Liu Shuqing: "Forget it, I'll treat you."
Song Qingyun was surprised: "Lao Liu, when did you become noble?"
"It's so noble, Song Qingyun, have you bought a new house and installed a floor heating? My wife's company is doing this business."
"I said why you are so kind-hearted, it turns out that you have a purpose. I planned to use air conditioner. Since you said that, I will send you my mother's phone number later. She is not an easy person to deal with. I don't care whether my sister-in-law can get a public relations."
"Okay, okay, just do it. Go down and summarize the number of laying hens you need and send them to me. I'll ask the breeding farm to send it to you immediately, and it's OK today."
After calling, Song Qingyun also washed up, ate some snacks, and called the card. He saw Chen Jianguo approaching him intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Qingyun was dazzled by him: "Chen Wenshu, are you worried? Just tell me if you have something to do?"
Chen Jianguo: "This, this..."
Song Qingyun was helpless: "Old Chen, are there anything we can't say?"
Chen Jianguo said, Secretary Song, you see, you have been here for more than half a month. The basic situation of the poor households has been clearly understood, and I don’t know what your next policy program is?
Song Qingyun was stunned: "Political Program, what program can I do as a errand runner? Lao Chen, don't talk nonsense."
"You are the first secretary, the leader of our hundreds of people." Chen Jianguo: "Secretary Song, this targeted poverty alleviation is always about doing things. How much money have you brought? The poor households in the village are waiting for relief to see if they can get some benefits."
Song Qingyun was very upset: "What do you mean is to send money and stuff?"
"Isn't it? In the past, leaders always paid money when visiting poor households. At least they had to carry a pot of rapeseed oil or a bag of rice. The country people really don't care about you if they don't see anything."
Song Qingyun said qin: "Chen Wenshu, I am here to help everyone get rid of poverty, not to help the victims. How simple is the job of delivering things? It's necessary to stay here for two or three years? Besides, I really have no money. I told you that I only cost 3,000 yuan in total. Last time I built a dam for Chen Zhonggui and renovated water and electricity for villagers, I spent a few hundred yuan. Now there are only about two thousand left. It's really apart. There are more than 80 households, what's the use of giving each household twenty yuan?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Secretary Song, you are right." Chen Jianguo saw that he lost his temper, and his heart was nervous, and sweat oozed from his forehead: "Please give me instructions."
"I dare not give instructions. I have an idea to discuss with you Lao Chen."
