【Chapter 577】Drip irrigation technology

(0577)

Like many senior officials, Zhao Nanxing always felt that even if the lower-level government officials were a little outrageous, they would not be outrageous to the point of recklessness. The mainstream was still good. The bad ones were non-mainstream. He also believed that with the control ability of the court, he could control the local government. Therefore, the local government's deeds and evil deeds could not be too outrageous.

It is precisely because of this idea that Zhao Nanxing felt that Xu Xingxia was unforgivable. This guy is simply lawless. If you have any problems, just reflect them upward. How can you rebel at any time? If everyone is like you, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? This wind cannot last! If everyone is like Xu Xingxia and uses violence to solve the problem, there is no need for the court to exist. [bsp;    However, the facts in front of him are in front of him. This cruel reality is that the people of the three towns in the northwest are very likely to be poisoned by Xu Xingxia, and have been seriously brainwashed in their thoughts, and it is impossible for them to continue to support the court. They even have the intention to subvert the court. After experiencing the scene just now, Zhao Nanxing did not doubt at all. If there was a chance, the people of the three towns in the northwest would definitely kill the capital and the Forbidden City.

How should the people in these three towns be dealt with? Wuli suppression? Recruiting and pacifying? If it is Wuli suppression, it must have strong military strength and enough money and food to support it. But these two things are lacking in the current court. The Jianlu in Liaodong has not been solved yet, and there is such a mess in Shaanxi. Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of War, was afraid that he would have a stroke.

However, if the pacification is taken, it will be a huge advantage. To be honest, Zhao Nanxing has no favoritism for Xu Xingxia. If he has the opportunity to strangle Xu Xingxia, he will not hesitate at all. He will even suggest that the court execute Xu Xingxia Lingchi. Because the land policy implemented by the White Army in the three northwest towns seriously infringes on Zhao Nanxing's personal interests. He will never allow this kind of redistribution of land within the northern Zhili area. Their Zhao family owns nearly 100,000 acres of land, how can they be easily distributed to others? These lands are his life for Zhao Nanxing!

"Why has it reached this point?" Zhao Nanxing murmured to himself.

...

The next morning, Sawanna had just washed up briefly and helped Zhu Yilan, who looked a little haggard, come out and prepare to continue to set off towards Yulin City. As a result, Wang Genmu did not move. The escort team he led showed no sign of rushing.

Sawanna asked in confusion: "Wang Genmu, why don't you leave?"

Wang Genmu Jiji replied: "Do you want to look around? The Chairman has given instructions, you can watch it inside and outside the Gaojia Fort. One day, you can move freely. We can set out tomorrow. The next stop is Shuangshan Fort."

Zhao Nanxing shook his head and said, "I won't see Gaojiabao anymore. Let's go to Shuangshanbao to see it again!"

After yesterday's incident, Zhao Nanxing decided not to stay in Gaojiabao. If the local people recognize him as someone from the court, it would be troublesome. He is really a little scared of these angry unruly people. It is useless for you to reason with them in front of these unruly people. They are all uncivilized unruly people, and they only know how to compete with you!

Zhu Yilan was also in a heavy mood and didn't want to continue staying in Gaojiabao. Last night, the scars on Hu Jiamu's body always appeared in front of her eyes, making her feel very painful. She hoped to leave here as soon as possible and go to a strange place to dilute these unpleasant memories in her mind. Since she was unwilling to stay in Gaojiabao, Sawanna naturally followed the host. She regarded Zhu Yilan as the future hostess of Yansui Town.

Sawanna said: "Wang Genmu, let's go to Shuangshan Fort!"

Wang Genmu said indifferently: "Whatever you want. Then go!"

The group immediately packed up their own things, continued to move west along the main road, and came directly to Shuangshan Fort. Shuangshan Fort is also on the edge of the Great Wall, only a few dozen miles away from Gaojia Fort. The road between the two forts is easy to walk, and the carriage is quite stable. As a result, they only took most of the day to arrive at Shuangshan Fort.

The population of Shuangshan Fort is almost the same as that of Gaojia Fort, and even the buildings are similar. The people in the fort obviously do not know their identities and have no feelings for their arrival. No one comes to welcome them, and there is not even a chat. Everyone is in a hurry, obviously busy with their own affairs. From time to time, other business trips pass by the main road. Everyone is busy with their own affairs and cannot see idle people.

There are many children playing on both sides of the road. There are more than twenty children, and they don’t know what games they are playing. Men and women gather together, which is very lively. Seeing their naive laughter, you know that they are in a good mood. Judging from their clothes and the expression on their faces, you know that their family is doing well, at least they have guaranteed food and clothing.

Zhu Yilan suddenly sighed silently. Two years ago, she had passed by Shuangshan Fort. She still remembered everything at that time. At that time, there was no food or clothing in Shuangshan Fort? Where were there any children playing? Almost everyone sat in front of the adobe wall with dull eyes and insensitive eyes, and they looked like they were waiting to die. They were skinny and bony, as if a gust of wind would blow them all away.

Why did the same people change so much in the same place? Zhu Yilan has actually vaguely guessed the reason, but she is unwilling to admit it. Or she cannot admit it. Because if she admits all this, it is equivalent to accusing her grandfather of being ineffective in doing things and accuses of her elders, she dare not do things.

But what if she doesn't admit it? As long as the people here admit it, her grandfather and the court under his control are still dangerous. If the people in Yansui Town were really so angry, maybe they would really attack the Forbidden City. Even the brutal Tartars and the brutal Mongolians are not opponents of the White Army, so don't expect the government troops from all over the country to block the White Army's troops' advance. Zhu Yilan had long been disappointed with the government troops from all over the country. They were really hopeless.

"You guys move freely!"

"The next destination is Yulin City!"

When he arrived at Shuangshan Fort, Wang Genmu began to herd sheep again. His escort mission had been completed. The next escort mission was handed over to a young man named Zhang Nai. This Zhang Nai was not from the Shooting Army, but from Xu Xingxia. He would lead a small team of hunting cavalry to continue escorting Zhu Yilan, Sa Wanna, Zhao Nanxing and others.

According to Xu Xingxia's instructions, they can move freely whenever they want to go to a place. The White Army will not restrict their freedom. Except for a very small number of secrets, everything else is something they can contact directly. However, Zhu Yilan, who was seriously hit, has no interest in freely moving at all. She is still making a painful choice. She doesn't want to move, so Sa Wanna naturally doesn't seem too active.

Zhao Nanxing and others seemed very active. Since Xu Xingxia had no restrictions at all, he happened to take this opportunity to inquire about the truth and reality of Yansui Town. His basic idea was this. The more he learned about Yansui Town, the more detailed the information he collected, the less difficult it would be to recover Yansui Town in the future. He secretly felt that Xu Xingxia was really a bit arrogant and a little proud and complacent. He actually let himself move freely. Isn’t this intentional opportunity to give himself a chance to spy on the truth and reality of the white-clothed army? It seems that he is still young and not very sensible!

After a while, Zhao Nanxing took two followers and came out of Shuangshan Fort directly and wandered around everywhere. He happened to see someone in the fields fiddling with something, so Zhao Nanxing immediately walked over. As a result, he saw a farmer fiddling with many bamboo tubes. These tubes were crisscrossing among the fields, and water continued to seep out.

Zhao Nanxing said curiously: "What are you doing? Is the pipe leaking?"

The farmer probably was in a bad mood and was unwilling to be disturbed. He said without raising his head: "What is leaking? This is called drip irrigation technology! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Nanxing is also a talented and knowledgeable person. Among the ministers of the dynasty, except for Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of War, he was the oldest. He had always thought that he had never seen anything he had ever seen? However, he searched for his dry intestines and racked his brains, and really didn't know what drip irrigation technology was. He was sure that he had never even heard of this term. However, he always felt that the pipe was leaking. Look, drop by drop of water was constantly falling into the soil. Isn't this a leaking pipe?

He said with some dissatisfaction: "This is obviously a leak!"

The farmer said angrily: "Everyone said that this is drip irrigation technology! What is the leakage!"

Zhao Nanxing noticed that the farmers were talking, unlike a dead chicken, who was deliberately quarreling with him. Perhaps, this is really a drip irrigation technology. In these remote places, something he had never seen appeared, no exception. He put away his pride and asked honestly: "What is drip irrigation technology? What is its use?"

The farmer raised his head impatiently, as if he was a little angry. Seeing that he was an old man older than him, his face slowly calmed down. Just as he had finished handling what he had at hand, he introduced him to Zhao Nanxing in a stern manner. Sa Wanna and Zhu Yilan saw it from afar, so they quietly walked over and stood beside him and listened carefully.

The so-called drip irrigation technology is naturally a new term developed by Xu Xingxia. The main function is of course to target the characteristics of drought and rain in the northwest region. Except for the Ningxia Plain, the three towns in the northwest are seriously short of water, and agricultural irrigation is difficult. Moreover, the sand and soil in these areas cannot be stored. If a scoop of water is poured down, less than one percent of the crops can truly absorb. In other words, 99% of the other percentages are wasted.

Drip irrigation technology is to drip water droplets just at the root of the crop, so that the crops can be absorbed just in time without penetrating into the depths of the soil. In this way, water resources will not be wasted in vain. For this terrain and landform in the northwest region, drip irrigation technology is a great leap. It not only ensures the needs of crops, but also greatly reduces the consumption of water resources. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, Xu Xingxia's drip irrigation technology is just a principle explanation, and the specific details need to be considered by each farmer. Israel's drip irrigation technology is said to save more than 99% of water, which means that using one percent of the original water can meet the needs of crops. Due to the limitations of conditions, farmers in the northwest region certainly cannot do so well.

Fortunately, Xu Xingxia's requirements for drip irrigation technology are not very high. As long as it can save some water resources, it is already very good. In fact, with the current technical conditions, it is good to save 50% of water. Moreover, some farmers or craftsmen use their brains and carefully think about it. Some water savings can reach 70% or more than 80%, which is a great improvement. Therefore, the amount of water saving depends entirely on everyone's main function.

Never look at the intelligence of the people. Our Chinese nation has never lacked extremely smart people. Later Chinese people have produced many "Nobel Prize in Chemistry" in the public. The number and ingenious conception are amazing. Unfortunately, these inventions are basically evil and cannot be put on the table.

Now, Xu Xingxia slowly told them the most basic principles and let them deepen themselves. Similarly, Xu Xingxia has also released the concept of greenhouses and off-season vegetables. As for whether anyone can try it himself or what level it can be, it depends on the ability of each person. He cannot handle it all.

Xu Xingxia believes that someone will definitely try to try it out. Once these things are created, the benefits will be obvious. As long as there are enough benefits, you will not be afraid that others will not be moved. If the road is pointed out and no one will take action, Xu Xingxia will be speechless. Such a lazy and unmotivated nation will simply die out.

"Drip irrigation technology? It's really so magical?" The speaker was unintentional, the listener was interested, and Zhao Nanxing didn't care much, but Sawanna was concerned. The Khorasan Kingdom where she was located has always been a region with water shortage, and the growth of crops was difficult. This led to a small planting area and a low yield. A large amount of grain was imported from the outside every year. This made the Khorasan Kingdom very passive in many things. If the Khorasan Kingdom could use such technology, wouldn't it increase a lot of grain output?

According to the "Basic Knowledge of the World" compiled by Xu Xingxia, the entire Central Asia and West Asia are areas with severe water shortage. Crop planting is very difficult. If drip irrigation technology can be adopted, it will definitely increase grain output in some areas. Almost in an instant, Sawanna thought about where drip irrigation technology can be implemented. I really didn't expect that Xu Xingxia had such wonderful ideas.

Even Zhu Yilan was attracted and temporarily forgot her troubles. She was very curious about how Xu Xingxia came up with this drip irrigation technology? He was really surprised if he didn't pay attention. Originally, grain production in the northwest region was low. However, if the drip irrigation technology was promoted on a large scale, there might be some changes.

At this moment, Zhu Yilan suddenly had an impulse. She felt that if she worked hard to promote these new technologies, perhaps the people in many places could get out of poverty and become rich. Their lives would definitely be better than they are now. She could not do anything else, but this could be done. She believed that she would definitely do it well. She also believed that as long as she was willing to do it, Xu Xingxia would support her wholeheartedly.

But Zhao Nanxing wanted to attack the prestige of the White Army and Xu Xingxia to show the dignity of the court. He knew that this drip irrigation technology was beneficial to the people, but he never refused to admit it. On the contrary, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "All the strange skills and tricks are just clouds. Not talking about the ways of saints, not learning the methods of saints, and not reading the books of saints is like a mirage, a castle in the air..."

Sawanna interrupted him without hesitation and said coldly: "Old sir, I don't agree with your statement. No matter how many books you read, they must be used in practice. Otherwise, what's the use of reading so many books besides intrigue and fighting for power? I dare ask the old sir, have you read so many books of saints, what benefits have the people gained?"

She was very unhappy with Zhao Nanxing, and there was no room for anything to speak. This was just a slap in the face. She was a woman from the Western Regions and paid more attention to practical application effects. Drip irrigation technology is useful for agricultural production and can increase grain production, so she strongly supports it. As for the way of saints, the methods of saints, and the books of saints, she sneered. What else does Zhao Nanxing have except for his own personal interests? Those guys from the Donglin Party are all the same! They are invincible in the world, and behind them are all personal interests.

Zhao Nanxing disagreed with Sa Wanna's words. She is just a girl. In the eyes of the old man, even if Sa Wanna is a queen, it is a rebellious existence. Besides, can a place like Khorasan be compared with the Celestial Kingdom? Of course it is impossible. She dared to attack the important officials of the Celestial Kingdom, which is simply unreasonable.

However, his words attracted the siege of the people around him. Those people had some respect for this old man, but now they have nothing left. In his mouth, good things were deposed and useless. Who can bear it? What they hate the most is such ignorant officials! Apart from desperately plundering money and harming the people, who has done a little good for the people?

A farmer scolded rudely: "Old thing! Where did you get out of?"

I don’t know who it was, but I recognized the old man in front of me. The person who was wild at the Gaojiabao banquet yesterday suddenly became in a hurry. The crowds of people were watching, and the movements became more and more intense. Even Sa Wanna and Zhu Yilan were almost implicated. Fortunately, Zhang Nai was quick in action and took a few soldiers to steal them out. As for Zhao Nanxing, he naturally had the protection of his followers, so Zhang Nai was too lazy to care about him. It would be better to be beaten to death by the people.
