Chapter 106 I wish you a good harvest of mushrooms and a warehouse full of mice

Zhang Zongxian felt that he could not sit still and wait for death. On the one hand, he thought of ways to buy some food back. On the other hand, he still had to build water conservancy projects to divert the water from the Yellow River to the fields, and use equipment to pump up the original land.

Then he wrote another letter to Xugong to see if he had any good equipment that could pump the water up to the high ground.

He also asked people to post notices offering rewards to hire private experts to find water and dig wells. Those in Urakawahara dug wells to irrigate the fields.

Ever since he learned that the refugees were gathering in Qingjian County, Zhang Zongxian had not thought about food or food for the past two days. He even chatted with beauties a lot less. He spent the whole day in his study thinking about how to solve the food problem.

Zhang Zongxian had nothing to do that day. When he attended the Taiping's internal monthly meeting, he heard that there was a rat infestation in the granary. The people in the granary wanted to apply to buy some cats to exterminate the rats.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongxian suddenly thought of a doomsday survival novel he had read in his previous life. In the novel, people relied on growing mushrooms and raising rats to cope with the food shortage caused by nuclear war.

Now he still remembers the words that people used to wish each other in the apocalyptic era: "I wish you a good harvest of mushrooms and a warehouse full of mice."

There is no difference between the ancient times of famine and the end of the world. I have read the book on getting rich before, and I probably know how to grow mushrooms. In northern Shaanxi, you can dig a cave to become a planting room, burn briquettes in winter, and have protection all year round.

As for raising rats, rats are fertile and not picky about what they eat. As long as isolation measures are taken to prevent contracting the plague, it is not impossible to raise voles for meat.

You can also raise rabbits. Rabbits are also very fertile, but there are no mice to eat.

The raised mice are directly chopped and added with flour to make luncheon meat, which is both delicious and nutritious.

Just do it as soon as you think of it, take the maid at home and clean up a house.

Xiaoxue also followed curiously to see what Zhang Zongxian was going to do.

First disinfect the house with lime water, then let it dry and ventilate. Then find a carpenter to make a shelf, and then start preparing culture soil and bacterial strains.

The culture soil is mixed with cow dung and exposed sawdust at a ratio of 1:1, and some gypsum powder can be added to it. Pile it into a one-meter-high fermentation pile for fermentation.

First select the large strains and then stir them with flour and appropriate amount of water for fermentation.

Put the prepared bacteria in the soil, spray an appropriate amount of water to make the soil moist. The temperature should be controlled at about 25 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer now, you can feel the temperature manually first.

Suitable temperature can accelerate the growth of mushrooms, and the strains can be grown in about a week. In the early stages, mushrooms are afraid of light and need to be shaded and cannot be placed in the light.

If the temperature is too high, sprinkle an appropriate amount of water to increase the humidity and help cool down. In addition, it must be moisturized and watered every two or three days. No fertilizer is needed. If the humidity and temperature are suitable, it will grow well.

After making preparations, Xiaoxue was arranged to lead someone to take charge of the follow-up work.

Zhang Zongxian asked the yamen to arrange people and recruit several old farmers. He divided them into two teams, one team was to experiment with breeding rats, and the other team was experimenting with breeding rabbits.

As Zhang Zongxian continued to reminisce about the content of the "Getting Rich" article on the Farming Battle Channel that he had watched. He also recruited a group of old farmers and asked them to use incubators to hatch chickens and try to breed earthworms to feed the chickens.

There is also a feed silage preparation technology that chops green feed and controls fermentation under closed anoxic conditions to keep the forage in a juicy state for long-term storage.

Finally, Zhang Zongxian simply designated a place and established the Agricultural College. As a scientific research unit to promote the cultivation of new technologies and new varieties. Now, veteran farmers recruited from the yamen teach, and when the disciples grow up, they will carry out scientific breeding.

By April 25th, it still hadn't rained. After asking the old farmers, it was determined that this year's severe drought was unavoidable.

At this time, XCMG also brought various models of pumping tools to the prefectural government office.

Among them, there are large water trucks and water-turning trucks, which are very good tools for pumping water.

Zhang Zongxian also drew a water pump used on a sailing battleship based on what he saw on the video website of his previous life, and asked XCMG to try it out.

After the trial is successful, it will be put into production immediately. Zhang Zongxian will provide the production quantity as soon as possible. These pumps will be used to pump groundwater.

At the morning meeting the next day, Zhang Zongxian officially ordered all the yamen in all prefectures and counties to mobilize to help the people fight the drought, and urged the district chiefs to mobilize the people to repair the irrigation canals immediately.

For the original fields, on the one hand, the yamen funded the digging of wells, and on the other hand, they used overturning trucks to lift the water up. If it was really difficult to lift it up, they used oxen to pull the water up. Anyway, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must ensure the irrigation water for the crops.

Let people from the workshops in each county immediately check the connection status of the water canals, coordinate the water canals in various places, and ensure that all canals can be connected to the rivers.

He also gave orders to his disciples who were out surveying the land, asking them to help the people build canals and report the places where water lifting tools were needed. In those places where water canals could not be reached, wells needed to be dug. They were asked to report the preliminary quantity within five days.

He also ordered the workshop to summon all the carpenters from all over the country and gather them all at the edge of the Yellow River. The yamen from all over the country would provide funds and materials, so that the carpenters could immediately start building the large waterwheel.

County officials must personally go to the local area to supervise the connection of water canals. Any neglect will be severely punished. Zhang Zongxian also asked Qian Tongzhi to notify the counties in person, and asked him to hint to the officials in each county to contribute to this drought relief and implement

People with strong abilities will be given priority for promotion by the governor in the future.

His colleague is a role model. Whether you can become a high-ranking official from a low-ranking official depends on your performance this time. Zhizhou never gives up strong rewards. Promotion and wealth can be achieved in one fell swoop.

After Zhang Zongxian issued the order, he took a few government officials out of the city to check the local water canal connection situation. He also casually checked to see how his disciples were doing.

The direct disciple Wang Guofu is in charge of the administration here. He leads nearly a hundred people from the inner sect and the outer sect.

I have chosen children who are smart and willing to learn. Knowing three thousand words in half a year is more than enough for them!

There are not many disciples left now, and we will have to wait until a new batch of disciples are recruited.

The fields near the county town are not bad. After all, they are close to the Yellow River and there is a direct-flowing river running through it. As long as the water tanker is in place, there is no need to worry about irrigation. The further you go west, the more water is scarce, and the canals originally built are often blocked.

You can see people helping themselves on the road. Those who have cows at home use cows to pull them, and those without cows can only use their shoulders to carry water. Winter wheat should be irrigated when it turns green in April, but now that it has not rained, the people can only carry water.

water.

After arriving at the first village far away from the river bank, Zhang Zongxian first called Li Zheng and personally asked him to mobilize the people to clear the canals. He told them that the Yamen would build overturned trucks for them to pump water to irrigate the land.

The common people followed the village chief in confusion and began to clear the canals. Some young men did not believe that the government would repair the water trucks for them and were unwilling to put down the buckets in their hands to clear the canals.
