The reason why the villagers were not told about the fertilizer problem is simple.
Don’t underestimate Rabbit’s infrastructure capabilities and R&D capabilities.
The country has actually already considered the issues that ordinary people are worried about. As early as the 1960s, officials saw the shortcomings of the domestic chemical industry.
In the 1970s, 13 sets of large-scale fertilizer plants were introduced in China, and the first batch of fertilizer plants introduced used the largest amount of nitrogen fertilizer.
By the 1990s, in less than twenty years, domestic nitrogen fertilizer production had doubled dozens of times, and its production capacity was sufficient to supply the market.
Nitrogen fertilizer has been solved, and the next step is phosphate fertilizer. Soon, several sets of large-scale phosphate fertilizer production equipment will be built in China, and all of them will be high-concentration phosphate fertilizer.
When these phosphate fertilizer factories are built one after another, the shortage of high-concentration phosphate fertilizers in the domestic market will also be alleviated.
According to Li Jie's planting plan, if there is insufficient supply in the past two years, farmyard manure and microbial fertilizers will be used first. When domestic phosphate fertilizers are fully launched, they will be replaced with more worry-free and labor-saving phosphate fertilizers. As long as there are no big mistakes in the process,
The shortage of fertilizers is not a problem at all.
Even if he encounters the worst situation and something goes wrong, Li Jie can still ask his superiors for help.
Jintan Village is the first natural village established under the Diaozhuang Immigration Policy. Chinese people are obsessed with "number one". Anyone who is number one will inevitably attract the attention of all parties.
To put it simply, Jintan Village is a village registered with the leaders above.
If you really encounter any difficulties, as long as it is not a particularly difficult matter, Li Jie believes that your superiors will not mind helping you.
Looking across the country, fertilizer shortage is indeed a dilemma for the chemical industry, but shortage does not mean that there is no fertilizer. There are only 23 households in Jintan Village who have chosen to grow licorice, and the total planting area is only 180 acres.
One acre of land requires 20 kilograms of fertilizer, and one application of fertilizer to 180 acres of land only requires 3,600 kilograms of fertilizer.
If the villagers in Jintan Village want 3,600 kilograms of potassium fertilizer, the leaders may feel embarrassed. After all, the annual output of potash fertilizer is only a little (the production capacity is 200,000 tons. In fact, in 1990, the first phase of the Qinghai Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer Factory was just put into operation, and the output that year
However, what Jintan Village needs is not scarce potassium fertilizer, but phosphate fertilizer.
Even if domestic phosphate fertilizer production capacity is insufficient, counties and districts are not short of a mere 3.0 tons of phosphate fertilizer.
(In 1990, the domestic production of phosphate fertilizer was 3.946 million tons, which was converted into 20.811 million tons of standard fertilizer. The output of nearly 20 million tons, 3.0 tons, is really nothing.)
For the problem of chemical fertilizers, Li Jie prepared two insurances. Even if one went wrong, there would be another one.
Therefore, he chose to hide it.
If Li Jie hadn't been fully prepared, why would he have chosen to grow licorice?
As for the problem of farmers having no money, it can actually be easily solved.
If they don’t have money, they can choose to take out a loan.
Even if the bank doesn't lend, you can still choose to borrow money from Li Jie, but the 'loan' provided by Li Jie is not a direct payment, but converted into seeds and loaned to the villagers.
Of course, Li Jie is not here to do charity. The loan must have interest, and the interest on the loan from him will be higher than that from the bank.
Why should the interest rate be set higher?
In fact, this is completely a helpless move. If Li Jie sets the interest rate too low, or simply makes it interest-free, the villagers will definitely come to him for loans in droves.
By then, even mountains of gold and silver will not be able to fill such a big hole.
Since ancient times, there have been many examples of favoritism and enmity.
The problems of fertilizer and money are solved, and there is only one problem left.
water!
Water is the source of life. No matter what kind of creature it is, it cannot survive without water. About 70% of a person's body is water.
Generally speaking, if a person does not drink water for more than 72 hours, his life will be threatened.
This is true for people, and so is the crops on the ground. No matter what you plant, even drought-tolerant potatoes, you cannot do without irrigation.
Today, all domestic water in Jintan Village is obtained from water collection points more than ten miles away. Compared with domestic water, the amount of irrigation water is much larger.
The amount of irrigation water is more than ten times that of domestic water. With such a large water consumption, if we only rely on hauling water, it will undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket.
Only through water can the problem of irrigation of crops in the fields be solved.
Regarding the issue of water supply, the officials had included the construction of "water channels" in the plan long before the Diaozhuang households arrived at the resettlement site.
After nearly a year of construction, the canals leading from Qingtongxia Reservoir to various resettlement sites are about to be completed.
According to information provided by Ma Defu, water will be available by the end of March at the latest.
Ning Province is located in the northwest region. Compared with the warm and humid south, spring here comes later.
Although it may be a little later, the weather will gradually get warmer by late March, and by April, spring will basically officially enter.
Spring is the season when all things revive, and it is also a suitable season for sowing.
Spring is here, will the water still be late?
In a blink of an eye, time has come to the last day of March.
In the early morning, before dawn, the villagers of Jintan Village gathered in twos and threes in the open space at the entrance of the village, discussing something heatedly.
After a while, Ma Defu followed the sound and came to the open space.
Suddenly, sharp-eyed Li Dayou spotted Ma Defu's figure first and saw him shouting.
"Deflele!"
As soon as these words came out, the discussion at the scene suddenly became tense.
Immediately, the villagers gathered around him and started asking questions.
"Defu, I want to ask you, will the water really come today?"
"Deblessing, deblessing, when will the water come? Do you have any accurate information?"
"Can we really use Yellow River water?"
"Defu, will this time be like last time, the water is just like a baby's urine, it will disappear for a while? Will it make you happy in vain?"
…
…
Ma Defu pushed aside the crowd with a huff and raised his voice.
"Fellow folks, uncles, brothers and sisters, please be quiet for a moment and listen."
However, in the eyes of the villagers, although Ma Defu was the first national cadre to come out of the village, he was still too young and lacked prestige, so the scene was still in a mess, and the villagers still talked to themselves and kept asking him
Ask questions.
Seeing this, Ma Defu had no choice but to explain over and over again at the top of his lungs.
"According to the notice issued by Yangshui Station, water will definitely come at ten o'clock this morning!"
"As for why the water was so small last time, that's because the waterproofing last time was a test. The so-called test means trying it to see if there is any problem with the water supply. As you all know, the water here is very valuable, so of course the test water is used.
