The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 484 The first choice is to control desertification first

Liang Xinyue nodded gently and said:

"It's impossible. The sandstorms here are too strong and we are facing the desert. Every monsoon or normal wind and sandstorm pushes the sand over here layer by layer. In this case, there is really nothing we can do here."

"So, the most urgent task for this village now is to control the sand. We must block the sand."

Sand control?

How to treat this sand?

Liang Xinyue didn't have any other ideas on how to control the sand, but she still remembered that in her previous life, Longguo was the best in the world in controlling sand. Longguo's achievements in using hay blocks to block sand were amazing. Should she use them now?

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"Captain Zhang, we really need to take action on this matter. Moreover, it's not just us who are involved. Ak County must also be involved in this matter."

Even Director Shen was stunned for a moment:

"Ake County is also going to control the sand? They are not even near the sand, so why would they come to control the sand?"

Liang Xinyue pointed to the place behind her and said:

"Captain Zhang just told us that at the beginning of this year, the tree was still in the grassland. It's only been ten months. Look how much desertification has occurred. At this rate, especially with strong winds in winter, it will only take two years for this grassland to be completely desertified. By then, Ak County will be desertified."

"If we want to control the sand, it will take a year to recover the amount of sand that has been buried. The effect will be minimal in the beginning. We have to take it slow."

"It is said that it takes ten years to grow a tree. To prevent desertification, we must plant trees. So, we have to find a way to plant trees here. But it takes time for a tree to grow. So Ak County must join in."

"As for breeding, it's not impossible to do it here. After the anti-sand wall is built here, we can do it here. I came here today to take a look at these grasses and see if I can get some seeds."

After Liang Xinyue finished speaking, without waiting for their reply, she took Xiao Wei and Xiao Xue to the grassland. After walking around the grassland, she pointed to some places and asked Xiao Wei to dig out the grass with roots.

I dug up several plants in a row and then packed them up. I planned to take them home and plant them while studying how to cultivate this grass.

After Liang Xinyue finished her work here, she turned to Captain Zhang's house and said:

"You don't have to rush about this, but you can notify everyone that if they have straw, wheat stalks, or weeds as long as wheat stalks, they can all be saved in bundles. After I meet with several county leaders, we can discuss how to arrange your development here."

Indeed, she alone cannot make the final decision on this matter. If this matter is to be carried out, it will be a major event like a major war. Sand control is what people in cities and towns near the desert most want to do, but it is also the most difficult thing to do.

Captain Zhang was a little confused. He felt as if he had not been able to receive this overwhelming wealth. How come Deputy Director Liang was able to help others with diversified agricultural development plans in other places, but not him?

Captain Zhang said anxiously:

"Deputy Director Liang, aren't you going to build a greenhouse?"

"No, you can't build a greenhouse here. We dug one or two feet deep and found no water or mud. It was all sand or small stones. Don't worry, the county will not forget your Wanglong Village."

"Besides, it's not that I can build greenhouses wherever I go. What we advocate now is to adapt to local conditions. We need to develop each place according to its characteristics. The most troublesome thing here is the severe desertification."

Liang Xinyue's words made Captain Zhang squat down dejectedly.

Liang Xinyue then paid more attention to the current population of their village and their three meals a day, and made detailed inquiries.

After this arrangement, Captain Zhang also knew the county's plan, which was that they would not let them become poorer.

As Liang Xinyue and the others drove back to the county, Director Shen sighed heavily:

"It seems that it is still difficult for us to develop the breeding industry."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"It's not that difficult. You see, Xinshui Village now has better conditions, and we can also add aquaculture to develop it. Diversification means that we can develop all kinds of things."

"Xinshui Village now has the economic capacity to develop breeding, so we can find a place in Xinshui Village to build a pig farm that can raise thousands of pigs. Then, Xinshui Village will have manure and the county will have pork."

Looking at Old Shen, Liang Xinyue chuckled and said:

"Don't be sad, you will be fine. By the way, when you get home, remember to ask your girl to come to my house for lunch tomorrow."

Director Shen also thought of what he said last time, and said with a smile:

"Okay, then I'll go back and tell Xixi."

When they returned to the county, it was a little after four in the afternoon. It was not too early to get off work, but it was not too early either.

Liang Xinyue and Director Shen got off the car directly at the Animal Husbandry Bureau. After getting off the car, they returned to Director Shen's office. Director Shen first called to ask if County Magistrate Chen and Director Zhao were both there.

They also went to the countryside and just came back.

"We are having a meeting. We discovered something in Wanglong Village."

County Mayor Chen agreed and asked his secretary to go to the small conference room to prepare.

After a while, everyone who was supposed to arrive arrived, and Director Ren was also invited over. Everyone sat down and talked about the progress of the construction of a section of the canal that they were currently tracking and responsible for.

The progress of canal construction is getting faster and faster, and everyone is competing with each other secretly.

Because they were all secretly spreading the word that Deputy Director Liang was visiting various communes and villages, probably looking for another Xinshui Village, so in order to get their village connected with Liang Xinyue, they suddenly became rich.

Liang Xinyue followed Director Shen in and heard her name being said. After greeting him, she smiled and said:

"I haven't even come in yet, and I hear you talking about me? What? Praising me behind my back?"

County Magistrate Chen laughed and said:

"Isn't it to praise you? Now the canal repairmen in the whole county are working very hard. They all want to see the legendary heroine."

Liang Xinyue blushed at the smile:

"Leaders, please don't say that. I haven't done enough."

County Magistrate Chen and the others all laughed.

After a while, when they heard Liang Xinyue's explanation of the place and some of her own ideas, the leaders' faces darkened.

No one has really paid attention to this issue. To be honest, their county has never recovered since the last natural disaster.

In recent years, the county has been focusing on how to make sure the people have enough food to eat.

Liang Xinyue also knew that those who held leadership positions in this era were still the heroes who had contributed to the revolution.

It is not certain that they have a high level of education, and they have almost no professional knowledge, but they have a heart that wants to seek welfare for the people. However, the methods they use are old-fashioned, and their thinking is constrained.

In their hearts, the idea of ​​relying on nature for their livelihood is deeply rooted.

All of these are due to some limitations of this era. Liang Xinyue is a person with memories of her past life. She knows that no matter which industry in this country, this is the most difficult time. As long as everyone grits their teeth and gets through it, things will get better step by step.

Liang Xinyue herself has some advanced scientific knowledge, but some of it cannot be used now because many things have not been invented or are not widely used.

Some things may have begun to appear somewhere, but because the speed of communication and dissemination in this era is extremely slow, the news is closed. So, I don’t know.

But Liang Xinyue’s current wish is to use her knowledge to serve the people of this county.

After sitting down and discussing their recent work situations, Liang Xinyue also expressed her new decision:

"Leaders, our previous plan is to vigorously develop the planting and breeding industries, and strive to improve the living standards of all people more quickly."

"Before, we planned to raise cattle and sheep in Wanglong Village. I still think this plan is good because this village is connected to Ak County and we can help and complement each other."

"But after we visited the grasslands in Wanglong Village today, I can only say that our breeding plans may have to be postponed for a few years."

Liang Xinyue stood up. She liked to use pictures and texts to explain things. She stood in front of the small blackboard and briefly described what she saw in Wanglong Village today:

"If we just want to raise cattle and sheep, they will definitely eat some of the grass. The wind and sand here will also eat up some of the grass. In this way, our little grassland will be gone in a few years. Then the grassland in Ak County will be gone too."

"So, I think our top priority is to control the sand. We must push the sand back. I walked about two miles over there and dug down to check. Nearly 50 meters away from the grassland, there was a little mud after digging about a foot of sand."

County Magistrate Chen, Director Zhao and others looked at each other and asked:

"Do you have any ideas for sand control?"

"The best way to control sandstorms is to plant trees. Trees can block the sandstorms and hold onto the soil under the sand with their roots. But everyone knows that it's difficult to grow anything in other places in our county, let alone in sandy land.

Moreover, it takes more than one or two days to grow a tree, so this is also a major event that will benefit the present and future generations. The results may not be very obvious, but they will shine in the future. "

"As for the method of sand control, I have some ideas here, but I still want to discuss it with a few professors from the Agricultural University. Next Monday, I will go to the province. I will discuss it with them and then tell you all. As for the people of Wanglong Village, it is a problem that needs to be solved. It is very likely that Wanglong will be the poor village in our county next year."

County Magistrate Chen said:

"You're going to the province on Monday?"

"Well, I'm going to have a physical check-up. I'm also going to go to the Agricultural University to discuss some support and equipment issues after the laboratory is built. If the laboratory is built here, it will be an institution and there will be some staff. I have to discuss these things with them."

County Magistrate Chen and his men didn't understand this either, but they still nodded and said:

"Okay, go ahead. As for Wanglong Village, we'll think of a solution. If we want to keep them to help with sand control, we can only provide them with subsidies."

Subsidies are easy to say, but for the leaders of a poor county, every cent of subsidies is taken out by pinching, because they have no surplus food or savings. They can only find ways to pinch from other places.

Whether it is a family or a county, if you want to run it well, you have to balance various relationships.

Liang Xinyue naturally knew how poor this county was.

On the way back, Liang Xinyue reminded Director Ren again:

"You must remember to remind your son to come to my house tomorrow and have lunch there."

Director Ren thought that tomorrow was Sunday, and nodded happily:

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

In the evening, while having dinner, Liang Xinyue talked to Aunt Li and others about the two guests coming tomorrow.

The next day, since no one was working, Liang Jun got up early as usual and went to buy some vegetables. His sister said that there would be guests today, so he had to buy more. Thinking that his sister liked to eat pig's feet, he bought a large pig's foot with elbows, thinking of using it to make soup.

After coming back, Aunt Li started to make preparations. There were going to be guests coming at noon, which Liang Xinyue attached great importance to. Besides, she also wanted to see Guo Xiaoxue off, as Xiaoxue would be going back to the provincial capital with Liang Xinyue tomorrow.

She might not come back then. Aunt Li still likes Xiaoxue very much. This girl is good to Liang Xinyue. Every day, no matter what Liang Xinyue does, she will help her silently behind her back. She also always helps her take care of the children at home when she has time.

They have lived together for so many days that Aunt Li is still a little reluctant to leave.

Guo Xiaoxue didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She accepted Liang Xinyue as her sister, and they became relatives and could visit each other often.

Liang Xinyue did not do any agricultural work today. Instead, she was drawing in the study with a pencil. She drew very carefully. This time, she drew some furniture patterns.

She believed that if her brothers and others made these furniture, they would be able to sell them for money.

Liang Xinyue did not make an agricultural plan, but asked Xiao Wei to carefully look at the plan she had made for Daoliang Village, and then asked Xiao Wei to learn how to make a seedling plan for Shibali Village.

Xiao Wei was afraid that he might not do well, so he hesitated, but Liang Xinyue encouraged him again and again.

"What are you afraid of? You just didn't do it well. I can change it later. The main thing is that you have to learn how to do it. There are so many villages and communes to come. You can't rely on me to do it all in the future. You have to learn everything you should learn."

Xiao Wei also knows this truth, but even though he knows it, it is still a little difficult to put it into practice.

But he didn't expect that his problem would be solved in just a moment.

Because at around nine o'clock, Qiu Yue'e came back.

Qiu Yue'e came back with her bag, which made Aunt Li very happy:

"Why are you back?"
