Chapter 359(1/2)
The road leading to Xiaolaojun Mountain is blocked. This is all a small matter.
Bu Yaoming, Du Juan and the others can naturally find another remote path leading there.
When the time comes, just find some manpower and simply repair it. It's just a matter of adding some food.
There is a shortage of everything now, but there is no shortage of cheap labor.
If someone carries a bag of grain on his shoulders, he goes out and shouts, "Recruit workers, take care of the food!"
There were so many followers!
What more wages do you need?
It's pretty good if you can eat until you're eighty cents full.
Now people outside the mountain are already gathering in groups and starting to pour into the mountain.
Luo Xuan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly recruit some people to go to the mountains to help open up wasteland, cultivate land, and dig out bird droppings.
These jobs are very, very hard work.
Especially the one digging up bird droppings, which is very corrosive and very harmful to human respiratory tract and skin.
But even if it is such a hard and dangerous job, there are so many people trying to get it right now.
There is no need to worry about recruiting people.
Now Luo Xuan is just worried: How can we keep it secret?
Quietly and harvest lots of food.
Then, how can we quietly take it out and help those in need? This is the key!
After settling the matter of Chen Xiaotuan coming to Xiao Laojun Mountain to support teaching.
Luo Xuan then took Tuo Shizhan and his two grandsons to ride this bicycle every day and wander around the ten miles and eight townships of Hongxing Commune.
The purpose of doing this,
The purpose of coming here was to let the two of them familiarize themselves with the entire Red Star Commune, the routes of more than 20 large production brigades, and the locations of their respective brigade headquarters.
another one,
Because of Tuo Shizhan and Tuo Haili, they both have foreign accents.
Luo Xuan plans to come out secretly later to discuss the grain trade with the cadres of each brigade, and it will be up to the two of them to handle the matter.
After all, he is also a famous figure in the entire Red Star Commune.
If you do these things by yourself, you will be exposed if you are not careful.
It is much safer to let Tuo Shizhan and Tuo Haili pretend to be grain merchants from other places than to do it themselves.
Luo Xuan led Tuo Shizhan, his grandfather and his grandson, to visit all the villages in the country.
Thus,
Which production brigade is short of food, and to what extent?
Luo Xuan basically understood everything.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and food shortages among various production teams are still common.
But at least the crops in the fields are growing well.
Especially this year, all production teams in the entire Red Star Commune have adopted the Berkeley composting method contributed by Dr. Huang.
In addition, they went to the Zhengxing Brigade and received a large number of improved sweet potato seedlings.
Moreover, their rice and corn seeds are also sent to Xiao Laojun and soaked in the "divine spring".
Just started sowing.
Therefore, the crops of all production brigades in Hongxing Commune are growing very well this year.
This made the miserable expressions on the faces of the majority of the members lighten a lot...
As long as there is hope in the heart, one can live more energetically.
There is enough fertilizer and good seeds.
This makes the majority of members firmly believe that as long as they can survive these most difficult months, the situation will be greatly improved by the time of the autumn harvest...
But Luo Xuan knows: things are far from that simple!
this time,
The entire difficult period will last three years.
It has just been more than half a year, how could it be so easy to get through it?
Even more fatal is,
Next, what will be the reasons for the drastic reduction in grain production?
In Luo Xuan's heart, he actually didn't know much.
Our country has a vast territory and the situation in each place varies greatly.
Luo Xuan only knew that in some places, it was due to severe drought; in other places, there was a large-scale locust plague.
And some places have encountered ruthless floods.
Moreover, the suffering and oppressed people in places such as Dark Chocolate and Southern Monkeys also urgently need support from all sides...
This is like a family that is big but has a weak foundation.
The family has a large population, and there are many brothers and sisters who are in urgent need of help.
In addition, the harvest at home has not been good in the past two years, and all factors have been added up, so that we are currently experiencing some difficulties, which is reasonable...
As far as Luo Xuan knows:
In the county annals, it was recorded that 13 years ago, what is now Rongwei County suffered a large-scale golden cicada disaster.
According to the older generation, there were probably tens of thousands of golden cicada larvae emerging from one acre of land at that time.
This kind of larvae actually prefers the roots of fruit trees.
The damage it does to crops is actually not great.
But if there is a sudden and concentrated outbreak, how can the fruit trees in Rongwei County afford such a large number of cicada larvae?
They were so hungry that they would take a bite of any green plant they saw.
Although they eat these plants, the young cicadas will also die.
But at the same time, the crops were almost destroyed by them!
The larvae of the bluebird erupt regularly.
Luo Xuan is not particularly sure whether he will encounter this pest and disease again this year.
Anyway, currently,
Judging from the situation in Rongwei County, Luo Xuan guessed that there will be a drought or even a locust disaster this year. The possibility is very high!
Because since the beginning of spring, it has basically not rained much in Rongwei County.
The land in many places has begun to crack.
At present, various production brigades are urgently organizing members to go to rivers and ponds to fetch water, trying to save those precious seedlings and corn seedlings.
Will these crops be able to produce a bumper harvest this year? It seems that it is still a matter of opinion.
Therefore, Luo Xuan now has only one idea: to open up more wasteland and cultivate more land in the mountains.
At the same time, you must store as much food as possible in your own space so that you can use it to help everyone when it is most critical...
On this day,
Luo Xuan led Tuo Shizhan and Tuo Haili on two bicycles and wandered to a place called "Wutong Production Brigade".
"Captain, how big is the food gap in your brigade now? What is the current daily ration quota for commune members?"
In the office of the Wutong Production Brigade, the brigade headquarters, Luo Xuan took the tea vat handed to him by the brigade captain.
Without even bothering to take a sip, he asked: "The captain and your estimation, if the current situation continues as it is, how long can the members persist?"
The captain knows that Luo Xuan activity can-->>

The quantity is large and there are many sly things.
therefore,
He replied straight to the point, "Now the daily ration quota for our entire brigade members is 3 taels.
Everyone put some wild vegetables, bran husks, and even dried corncob powder in it.
In this way, we can barely make do with ten days and a half. But if it goes on for a while, everyone, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."
What the captain said was actually very subtle.
To be continued...
