I have a thousand acres of space

Each piece of plastic foam is about one meter square and 5 centimeters thick. There are many circular holes evenly distributed on the foam board.

I don't see what this is specifically for.

Tian Yungeng said:

"This is a new technology for growing rice. Put the rice seedlings in these holes, put the foam boards into the pond, and truly achieve soilless cultivation. These foam boards can be connected together, and when the rice is ripe, It can be harvested by the pond without going into the water. I want to try it.”

This aroused my interest. There are vast waters around the island, and there is no wind on the island. It is very suitable to grow rice in this way.

"Where did Uncle Tian buy these foam boards? Where are the rice seedlings?"

I pretended to be curious and inquired about these raw materials intentionally or unconsciously.

"Foam boards are easy to talk about. Any company that makes foam can do it. I cultivate rice seedlings by myself every year. I will take you to see them later. The seedlings I cultivate are quite good."

He Zhensheng pointed to the pond and asked:

"My God! Didn't you use this pond to raise fish? Will planting rice on the water affect the growth of fish?"

"Ugh!"

Tian Yungeng sighed and shook his head.

"Whether it is affected or not depends on whether I plant more or less. If this pond is planted with rice, it will definitely affect the production of fish. If the amount of rice planted is small, it will have no effect. However, I plan to put the 50 The mu ponds are all planted with rice, and as for the fish, I don’t plan to raise them.”

"why?"

Not only He Zhensheng has doubts, but I also have doubts.

With such a large pond, the number of farmed fish is definitely very impressive.In my perception, I think fish farming is more profitable than rice farming.It is really puzzling that he plans to give up fish farming and plant all rice.

But after listening to his explanation, I was speechless.He Zhensheng just smiled at me and didn't expose it to my face.

Tian Yungeng explained it this way.

"Let me tell you the truth. For so many years, I have been tossing around, and I have earned some money. Basically, I have spent it. Life is not bad, and I just make do with it. The real money is in recent years. , This fish farming is a big head.

"The fish I raised are all supplied to the large supermarkets and shopping malls in Qiongyang City. There are special cars to pull them almost every ten and a half months. I don't need to go to the city in person. The pullers will marry me. It's settled.

"However, just a year ago, almost a month ago, I was pushed by a competitor. I heard that it is a freshwater fish from the north, and it seems to be a big boss in your Huangtu County. His fish looks like It's not much stronger than my fish, and its size varies from big to small.

"There are all kinds of carp, grass carp, and silver carp. However, once they are cooked and put on the dining table, the feeling will be different. Even if the same person cooks the same dish with the same method, the taste is the same. Two things. No one will believe this thing if it is not about fish.

"Actually, I don't believe it either. For this reason, I bought two of them myself. When I went home and compared them with my own fish, the result was really two flavors. I was completely convinced. I couldn't compete with others. I admit it. .

"But I am not willing to do this. After all, I am engaged in agriculture and have a professional background. What is the specific reason for the difference? I can't analyze it. For this matter, I even sent a few fish to Qiongyang for scientific research. Institute, let those experts help analyze.

"Don't tell me, they gave me a conclusion. Their fish is rich in certain rare elements, so people eat it with a good taste. To a certain extent, it can improve people's nervous excitement. To put it bluntly Yes, eating that stuff will be addictive.

"But it's not a contraband, it tastes better than our fish, whether you admit it or not, the facts are there, we are convinced to lose.

"Later, I heard that someone invented the technology of growing rice on the water. Simply, I stopped raising fish and planted rice instead, increasing the area of ​​rice and increasing my income. I planted rice wholeheartedly. There is rice in the water and on the mountain. Yes, there are at the foot of the mountain. Although I can't make a fortune, I can still make some contributions to the country, and I can feel at ease in this lifetime."

After Tian Yungeng said this, I understood that it was the freshwater fish in my alien space who stole his business.Facing such a conscientious agricultural professional, I was moved with compassion, and I was really sorry.

But I can't say it clearly.Fortunately, He Zhensheng had more intelligence and didn't expose it on the spot.I secretly decided to give him some compensation in terms of organic fertilizers, so as not to let this hard-working agricultural colleague suffer a lot.

Later, when I shipped it to Tian Yungeng, I gave him a 9% discount on the wholesale price.This is Qiongyang's only customer who sells organic fertilizers at a discount.

Tian Yungeng took us to his home.

The location of his home is rather special, just south of Shawa Village.The yard is very large, and several small plastic sheds are built in the yard, which are specially used to grow rice seedlings.

Taking this opportunity, I took the initiative to ask for advice on how to select and breed seedlings. He explained the whole process to me in detail.

He said that the only shortcoming is that there is no equipment for automatically placing seedlings on the foam board.This matter requires the help of mechanical experts to invent and create.

I quietly recorded the process of his speech, and let Rufeng listen to it when I went back to see if it has a good solution.

I took a lot of photos of those plastic foam boards and the seedling cultivation site, which may be useful in the future.

On the south side of the yard are four auxiliary rooms, which are used to store seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.Tian Yungeng not only uses it for himself, but also sells it to other rice farmers in the surrounding area.

The colleagues nearby all believe him, because he is an agricultural expert, and he is always available for advice if he has any questions.

For this matter, he voluntarily organizes agricultural technology training courses two or three times a year, which are generally welcomed by the majority of farmers.

For this reason, Shahe township and county have carried out news reports.

Although he did not hold a post in an institution, he never forgot that he was an intellectual, and he also strengthened his self-study at ordinary times, and published many professional papers on rice and fish farming in certain journals.

The county personnel department took the initiative to find him and gave him a professional title. He is now a senior agricultural economist and a non-staff consultant to the Agricultural Bureau.

Someone in the organization department once offered to invite him to take up a position in the agency, but he politely declined.I feel that farming is at ease, and dealing with crops is more worry-free than dealing with people.

I really admire Tian Yungeng in my heart. He has his own opinions, does not follow the trend, has goals, is tenacious, and wholeheartedly engages in agriculture in a down-to-earth manner.It's not like some people are high above, pointing fingers, and divorced from reality.

These are the people who really do business.

Those that can really benefit future generations are rooted in the front line of production.

Tian Yungeng's few houses are enough to sell organic fertilizers.With such a large yard, even if it cannot fit in the house, it can be temporarily stored in the courtyard.

Don't worry about the venue issue at all.

As for the publicity channels, don't worry about it.

Tian Yungeng has the phone numbers of all the large farmers in the surrounding area of ​​nearly a hundred miles. He only needs to send a message in the group. He suggests using nano-carbon fertilizers. All the farmers have no objections at all, and they believe his words 100%.

Sales are no problem.

This is why He Zhensheng swore to promise that getting to know Tian Yungeng would be of great help to the sales of my organic carbon fertilizer.
