Chapter 383

Song Weizhuang nodded again and again: "yes, there are a lot of broken stones below. If we want to use them as cultivated land at that time, we must clean them up. This work is troublesome, but it's only one time. After cleaning up, there won't be any problem."

Xu Lun also said: "this photo still can't see too many things. Boss Zhang, I'll go to see the specific situation first. I'll take a look at the snow."

"Yes! Please, Dr. Xu Zhang Qianxiu is very polite to Xu Lun and others.

Song Weizhuang continues to explain the situation here to Zhang Qianxiu. There may be some troubles when the land is rectified. There are a lot of gravel on the ground, even in the soil. If large machinery is used, these stones will not be removed, which may have a certain impact on the machine.

Secondly, the soil here may not be fertile enough, because most of it is loess, so it needs to be fattened at that time. Fattening is a process, not a year.

People who have planted land all know that if it's yellow mud and clay that has just been cultivated, it will take at least two or three years for grain production to come up. In the past few years, it must be real estate.

While song Weizhuang was talking, Su Yuwei, who was wandering around, came over and said, "this canyon is not natural, it's mined out, at least most of it is dug out."

Song Weizhuang was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Qianxiu was also stunned: "daughter-in-law, you said it was all dug out?"

Su Yuwei definitely nodded and said: "I just looked around. There are traces of mining on these hillsides."

"And here, it used to be a stone mountain. There are stones everywhere."

Zhang Qianxiu looked at Song Weizhuang: "Director Song, is that so?"

Song Weizhuang was embarrassed, nodded and said, "boss Zhang, this is really dug out."

"But it's not a stone mountain, but there are more stones in it. There are no stone mountains nearby. The river channel five kilometers away needs a lot of stones to build a dike, so it's mined here."

"Moreover, in the past, it was intended to build a large reservoir here, because the dam mouth was excavated too wide. If the dam was built, it was too wide, so it was abandoned."

"But that was decades ago."

Zhang Qianxiu frowned and said, "Director Song, why didn't you say that before?"

Song Weizhuang said with a smile: "boss Zhang, we don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't matter what we used to do here and how this piece of wasteland came from."

"As long as boss Zhang thinks this place is suitable, we can give you this place for free."

"That's no problem, isn't it?"

That's what he said, but song Weizhuang and others didn't say it before, but now he said it after su Yuwei saw it out, which made Zhang Qianxiu increasingly distrust them.

Zhang Qianxiu took a look at Xu Lun, who was tearing away the snow in the distance, and said, "Director Song, what you said is not unreasonable."

"Let's have a look again and see what problems there are. We'll communicate then."

Song Weizhuang did not dare to continue to say anything, only nodded: "OK, listen to boss Zhang."

Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei went around to see the situation; Xu Lun and the three of them continued to dig through the snow to see the situation of the land below; Song Weizhuang goes to explain the situation to Shi Chengwang who is resting.

After a full hour, Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei found a lot of excavated places, and there are some places where there is the possibility of landslides. If this place really wants to be rented, it must be solved.

In addition, the land here is not as fertile as Zhang Qianxiu imagined.

Zhang Qianxiu always thought that the land in the north is very fertile, but now he found that it is not the same thing at all. It is impossible that the soil in this place is not as fertile as that in the south.

Xu Lun and his wife came back with heavy faces. Zhang Qianxiu asked, "Dr. Xu, what's the situation in this field?"

"Boss Zhang, I don't study geology, but I probably know that there may be a lot of stones under it," Xu said

"If we want to plant, we must at least ensure deep ploughing, especially wheat. If we want to ensure high yield of wheat, we must do deep ploughing."

"Deep ploughing is generally 30 to 40 centimeters, and deep ploughing in wheat fields should reach at least 20 centimeters. Long term non deep ploughing will affect wheat yield to a certain extent."

"Boss Zhang, our cultivated land, that is, soil loosening, is generally divided into shallow tillage, middle tillage and deep tillage. According to different crops, there are different soil loosening requirements."

"At present, ordinary farmers can't plough deeply, but if we want to plant on a large scale, we must plough deeply."

"So now we have to make sure that there are no big stones within 45 cm."

"It's a lot of work to clear such a deep land here. I estimate that many stones are three or four meters deep underground, and all of them must be dug out."

Zhang Qianxiu believes in Xu Lun. He can't cheat himself.

At this time, it also shows the benefits of bringing professionals.

Zhang Qianxiu asked, "how many big stones do you think are deep into this area for more than one meter?"

Xu Lun said: "the snow here is too thick and the place is too wide. We have opened 20 or 30 places, and the distance is still quite far. But when we open one place, we can almost see the kind of big stones that go deep into the ground. I don't think there are many. There are hundreds of thousands of stones that go deep into the ground for more than one meter."

"At that time, either dig out all the stones, or dig 50 cm under the ground, use a detonator to blast open the stones and take out one of them."

Su Yuwei looked at the large area and said, "it seems that the mountain is really dug down here. There are too many stones under it to make a reservoir."

At the bottom of the reservoir, there are too many stones to make an impermeable layer.

Zhang Qian breathed a sigh and said, "I knew that the government would not take advantage of me for nothing."

Su Yuwei said: "it's not that there are so many stones below. If you really want to go down this piece of wasteland, you must build a reservoir. If you don't build a reservoir, the official estimate is a little unwilling. They are looking forward to you building a reservoir and a river channel to solve the water supply of the village below."

"I came all the way and found that there may be more than a dozen villages along the way. They said there are only a dozen villages, but there are only a dozen river sections that you built. They can divide more small canals to solve the water problem of more villages."

"If you don't say too much, 20 or 30 villages are not a big problem."

"If there is no reservoir on it and only one dam is built, there will not be much water. When water is needed, a small dam alone can not take care of such a wide place."

"You're not going to build a reservoir entirely with reinforced concrete. You're going to have to use a lot of stones. The stones in it can just be used."

Zhang Qianxiu thought Su Yuwei's words were reasonable. He said with a bitter smile: "daughter in law, you are right. But it's not a simple job to dig out these stones. The average cost of digging out one stone is ten pieces. There are 200000 big stones below, and I will spend two million."

There are 80000 mu of land and 200000 stones. On average, there are only a little more than two stones in one mu of land. Zhang Qianxiu doubts whether there are only such stones below.

Su Yuwei said half jokingly and half seriously: "stones are also money. If you dig out these stones, they are always worth some money."

Zhang Qianxiu thinks that it seems to be the same truth. Although stones are cheap, there are many, but there are hundreds of thousands, even millions.

When building a reservoir, he must build a dam. If there is no stone, he must buy it or mine it. It costs money.

Zhang Qianxiu said: "regardless of these, this thing can also be used as a point for our negotiation."

After that, Zhang Qianxiu asked Xu Lun, "Dr. Xu, you study the environment of crop growth. What do you think of the environment here?"

"Regardless of the others, we have leveled the land and solved the problem of water. Can we plant grain, can we return to normal yield in three years, and can we achieve high yield in five years?"

Xu Lun hardly hesitated and said, "yes!"

With that, Xu Lun said, "but on the land, it takes some effort."

"The soil here is not as good as we thought before!"

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "I see. Dr. Xu, Dr. Tian and Dr. Pei have worked hard for you."

Although Xu Lun said yes, the difficulty is obviously not as low as he thought before.

Now that the difficulty has been raised, naturally this condition needs to be discussed separately.

Zhang Qianxiu turned his eyes to the place outside the canyon and said, "daughter-in-law, it seems that it's Wasteland outside."

"I estimate that the situation outside is much better. Shi Lao and his family are waiting for me to get the water, and they can also directly reclaim the land outside."

"Anyway, I want these inside, and I'm not inferior to those outside, do you think?"

Su Yuwei said: "people may not be willing to give it to you. It's a lot wider outside."

"It's estimated that there are two or three hundred thousand mu outside. If there's no problem, people won't like to plant it for you."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "even if there are no stones outside, they are also wasteland. They have to open up wasteland. I'll help them to open up wasteland. When the time comes, they just spend a lot of money to build a river. If they take it back, it will be hundreds of thousands of mu of good land, with a huge profit."

"Now all the official money wants to be used for industry. There is not so much money for agriculture."

I dare not say anything else. Zhang Qianxiu still knows a lot about the current government. The State supports industry, and the local governments go all out to develop industry. Agriculture is basically in the state of stocking. Anyway, the base of farmers is large, and now production is relatively stable. He dare not say how well he eats. There is no problem for everyone to have enough to eat. No matter how bad it is, there will be no famine.

Now that the country is short of money, it is impossible to develop everything.

With such a premise, the state and local governments are certainly willing to develop industry and are not willing to spend limited money on agriculture.
