Zhang Shucheng was sorting out information in the office when he saw Ma Defu running in hurriedly. He felt a thump in his heart and asked worriedly: "Defu, what happened?"
Ma Defu directly told him about Zhao Shucheng's introduction letter and the issue of raising chickens in earthworms, and specifically stated that the credit was not his own.
Zhang Shucheng was relieved when he heard that it was not an immigration problem, and said with a smile: "Uh, I thought it was a good thing except for something big, this matter was a good thing. Uh, I will give you a certificate with Zhao Shucheng. If there is really earthworm breeding, then you must do it."
Zhang Shucheng is an old cadre and has thought of many things directly.
"Farmers are most worried about breeding, they can't raise them and sell them. Raising chickens is very simple, especially when they are worms, they can just raise chickens in the yard without any care. The first problem is solved. The second problem cannot be sold. At the beginning, there must be no many people who raise chickens. There are so many people in our county, how much does one person need to be a chicken? It requires tens of thousands of chickens, so there is no need to worry about sales in a short period of time. When it comes to large-scale breeding, we can also sell chickens to Yinchuan and even surrounding cities, and we don't have to worry about sales."
"What's more, so many chickens are not sold at once. Some must be early and some are late. Besides, this native chicken takes three to five months to raise. With so much time, the sales problem has been solved long ago."
"Besides, you also support Zhao Shucheng to talk about the benefits of earthworm breeding. Not to mention anything else, it is just about earthworm manure and fertilizer fields. If the soil quality of our Gobi Desert can be improved, it is not only about raising chickens, but also killing two birds with one stone. The key to the problem now is whether it can really work, and whether it is suitable for us."
"You are going to the agricultural school to figure out this matter. There are many teachers in the school. See if you can invite them to come and do a pilot here. If it does work, we can promote it on a large scale."
"Don't worry about An Yongfu's opinion. Since he told you this, it means he doesn't value chicken raising. He said it to us for support."
Ma Defu said worriedly: "Really? I think if we promote it to Yuquanying, maybe he will make less money. Do you really have no objection?"
Zhang Shucheng said happily: "Don't worry, you don't know yet? An Yongfu is actually the richest man in Yuquanying. He has published many novels, and the manuscript fee is very high. He doesn't even look down on the few dollars for raising chickens. Before, our city's Writers Association came to contact me and asked me to inform An Yongfu if the Writers Association is in trouble, I will tell him when he comes back."
Ma Defu didn't expect that he would actually hear such news, and asked in shock: "Really? Can he still write books?"
Zhang Shucheng looked outside and then said in a low voice: "Well, I asked someone, he was indeed writing books, but he couldn't tell the words of his own, so he expressed his ideas and asked his wife to write them, and then contributed the article."
Ma Defu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there would be people who wrote books like this.
"Just know about this. Now An Yongfu has written a book himself, but his handwriting is really embarrassing and needs to be copied over by Shuihua. The county means not to promote it, just think that An Yongfu has completed the creation himself."
Ma Defu nodded and said, "Director, I understand, I will definitely not say it."
Zhang Shucheng was very satisfied with Ma Defu's attitude and said, "Oh, it seems that this study is really useful. You said that Shuhua can help write books now after going to junior high school, and you can also become a cadre after studying in the agricultural school. Unfortunately, there is no school in Yuquanying yet, and the study of many children has been delayed like this."
Ma Defu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Director, don't we run a primary school here?"
"It can't be done now. After all, the population here is still too small. If each village runs a primary school, there will be no so many teachers. If we jointly run schools, we will have no money to build schools, so we can only wait."
Zhang Shucheng was a little sorry for this. In his opinion, there are three most important things in the Gobi Desert now, one is the construction of Yangshui Station, and the other two are schools and planting trees. It is said that if there are ten years of trees and a hundred years of trees, if there are no trees and windbreaks in Yuquanying, there will be no many people here in the end. Without schools, there will be no future for the people here.
"This is my letter of introduction you sent. You can go to Yinchuan with An Yongfu and ask the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to see if this method is really feasible."
Zhang Shucheng handed over a letter of introduction and specially squeezed out the travel expenses from the funds handled by the Dianzhuang, so that Ma Defu could take them with him.
Ma Defu said with emotion: "Director, don't worry, I will definitely handle this business for you. I will set off with An Yongfu tomorrow morning and try to go and go back quickly."
The next morning, Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu embarked on the road to Yinchuan. The distance from Yuquanying to Yinchuan seemed to be only a few dozen kilometers, but because they needed to take a bus to Yongning first and then to Yinchuan, the two of them arrived in Yinchuan in the afternoon.
The two of them did not dare to waste time, so they took the bus directly to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This place happened to be there, which is very close to Ningxia University. It is estimated that many researchers from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences have long-term cooperative relationships with university professors.
Ma Defu handed the doorman's letter of introduction, and after some interrogation, he entered the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This is the only comprehensive agricultural research institution in Yinchuan, responsible for the major agricultural foundations, applied research and high-tech industrial development tasks in the entire Yinchuan district.
It has many agricultural research institutes, including the Crop Research Institute, the Desertification Control Institute, the Plant Protection Institute, the Agricultural Resources and Environment Research Institute, the Agricultural Economics and Information Technology Research Institute, the Germplasm Resources Research Institute, the Agricultural Biological Research Center, etc.
What Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu were looking for was the Institute of Biotechnology, which is a key research room in the province. Ma Defu and Zhao Shucheng nervously approached the research room, but found that they were very different from the first phases of the high-tech phase I imagined, all researchers in white coats. Most of the researchers were wearing old Zhongshan suits. Although the research equipment was not good or bad, most of them should be some old equipment, which looked a little old.
However, Zhao Shucheng didn't care about this. He came to seek help, not to look at the research machine. Besides, unless it was a researcher of gene mutations, other biological research equipment is sufficient.
"Who are you looking for?"
A researcher saw Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu appearing. He saw that he was not from the research center and asked directly.
"Hello, teacher, I am Ma Defu, the Yuquanying Dianzhuang. This is Zhao Shucheng from the Russians. This is our letter of introduction. Uh, I just want to smell it. Is there any research on earthworm breeding here?"
The researcher took the introduction letter from Ma Defu and took a look, then said: "Yes, yes, but why are you looking for researcher Yang and researcher? He should be in the experimental field now, not in the research center at all."
"The Russians want to consult about earthworm breeding. So how should the Russians find Researcher Yang? In which direction should they go?"
Ma Defu couldn't help asking worriedly when he heard that Yang and Researcher were absent.
The researchers gave Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu the direction and how to go. Then the two walked out of the institute and went directly to the experimental field in the suburbs of Yinchuan by bus.
This place is completely different from the previous Agricultural Science Institute. If the Agricultural Science Institute still has some technological content, it is completely a village. The land is full of small plots of divided land, and the growers don’t know anything. There is no protection or supporting facilities. If it weren’t for the wooden signs on the ground, no one would have thought that this place would be an experimental field.
Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu worked hard for a long time to find Professor Yang He who was in a yard. The yard was very small, with less than two cents of land inside. In addition to a dilapidated house, there was only a small piece of experimental field.
Zhao Shucheng saw a middle-aged man busying with two students at a glance. It should be Researcher Yang He.
"Hello, is it researcher Yang He?"
Ma Defu was still in a daze, and Zhao Shucheng asked directly.
"I am, who are you?"
Researcher Yang He heard someone ask, and couldn't help but look back, not understanding why anyone came to find him.
"Hello, Researcher Yang He, I am An Yongfu from Jintan Village, Yuquanying, Diaozhuang. This is the Russians who are dressed up as Ma Defu. This time we are here to ask you about earthworm breeding."
Zhao Shucheng introduced Ma Defu and said straight to the point.
Researcher Yang He didn't expect that there was something to come to him, so he asked directly: "You guys say it!"
"Well, we want to know if earthworms can really be used as chicken feed after they are breeding? Secondly, the Yuquan camp of Russia is on the Gobi Desert, can it also be cultivated?"
Zhao Shucheng was almost lost by Yang He. It took a while before he could tell what he wanted to know.
Yang He thought for a while before he started introducing:
""Earthworms dig holes to loosen the soil, decompose organic matter, create good conditions for soil microorganism growth and reproduction, and play a special role in soil improvement, eliminating pollution, protecting the ecological environment, and in matter circulation, biodiversity, etc.."
"At the same time, because the earthworms have high protein content, they can be used as high-protein food and feed. In theory, the method of raising chickens in earthworms is feasible."
When Zhao Shucheng heard Yang He's introduction, he didn't know why he looked like Bei Ye and others were surviving and eating earthworms in the wilderness. He was so scared that he shook his head.
Yang He asked curiously: "Why, do you think there is something wrong there?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Yang He who was staring at him seriously and quickly said, "No, even if I think of it as food, it's a bit disgusting."
