"We haven't seen each other for a few months. There are more famous places here. It's much more lively than ours. Ever since Yuemin left, the educated youth spot in Shichuan Village has been completely dead." At noon that day, Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun came to see them. As soon as I arrived, I gathered around the newly built biogas tank at the Educated Youth Point to study.

"Vegetation is scarce in northern Shaanxi. Corn stalks and sorghum stalks alone are not enough, so we have to cut down the vegetation that is not much in the first place. If this continues, the natural environment in northern Shaanxi will only become worse and worse, so we must find new methods. ." Shen Long introduced, "I heard that in the county below Yan'an, some educated youths led the villagers to build a biogas digester. I thought it was a good idea, so I checked the information, revised it several times, and finally figured it out. thing."

"These cements were obtained from the exploration team. The first biogas digester has been repaired. The next step is to promote it to the entire Shichuan Village, and then strive to make the entire Jingbian County use biogas." Why do people from northern Shaanxi? There is another very important reason for living in cave dwellings, besides the fact that the soil here is relatively sticky and suitable for cave dwellings.

There is a lack of large wood that can be used as beams here. It takes much less wood to build a cave than to build a house. Even so, many people cannot afford wood. With the biogas pool, the already sparse vegetation on the mountain should be thicker. , and in another ten years or so, maybe he will be able to become a useful person.

"Kui Yong, you are really capable of doing things. You are even better than Zhong Yuemin. I will tell the village later and ask them to come and learn from you." Zheng Tong is already addicted to the world of books. He knows that this is right. There are benefits in the village, but they don't know how to do it themselves. Perhaps this is the limitation of intellectuals.

Shen Long originally wanted to talk to Zheng Tong about check dams. This kind of water conservancy project that is very suitable for the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi has been tested and demonstrated in the 1950s, and it has been promoted and popularized in the 1960s. By the time the next century comes, Appropriately, there are already more than 110,000 check dams on the entire Loess Plateau, covering more than 4.5 million acres of dam land and capable of intercepting 21 billion cubic meters of sediment.

It has greatly slowed down the water and soil erosion in the Loess Plateau. Many sections of the Yellow River flowing through the Loess Plateau have returned to clear water, which plays a very important role in increasing food production, maintaining local soil and water, improving the ecological environment, and promoting local economic development.

I have been busy with the biogas digester and the exploration team some time ago, and now I can finally free up my hands to prepare for this big project.

When Shen Long and others first planned to build a biogas digester, the villagers were ready to laugh. They did not believe that piling human and animal excrement in the pond could solve the problem of fuel scarcity. However, after several experiments, Shen Long successfully built the biogas digester. , Educated Youth Point has not used straw for cooking for more than half a month.

Building a biogas digester can not only solve the fuel problem, but the biogas slurry can also be used as pesticides and fertilizers. Nowadays, there is an extreme shortage of chemical fertilizers in rural areas, and crops can only be grown with simple manure. With these, the food output of Baidian Village can increase again. Run around.

For this reason, Shen Long also specially designated a small experimental field near the educated youth point, specifically using biogas slurry for irrigation. The crops in this experimental field grew significantly better than those in other fields, which attracted the attention of veterans in the village who were serving the crops. I often come here to watch.

They walked around the experimental field with their hands behind their backs, exclaiming in wonder that these students from big cities were really amazing. Not only did they know more, they even worked in the fields for decades longer than them. The old farmer is strong.

Now no one laughed at Shen Long and the others. Instead, Bai Mingchuan held an enlarged meeting of the village committee to discuss the matter, and finally decided to allocate manpower to Shen Long to take the lead in building a biogas digester for the village.

In order to solve the identity problem, Bai Mingchuan and the village committee unanimously decided to make Shen Long the production captain. Shen Long became the youngest production captain in the entire Hongwei Commune and even in the entire Jingbian County.

After the village's biogas pool was repaired and the first check dam project was completed the next year, Baidian Village had become a model project for the entire Jingbian County, and people often came to visit.

By this time, the exploration work of the Baidian Village Coal Mine had already been completed, and the results of the exploration surprised them. The proven reserves were actually more than those of the Tongchuan Coal Mine, and based on the data that had been collected, this coalfield was probably just a coal mine. A corner of the super coalfield, surrounded by larger coalfields.

This directly alarmed the Ministry of Coal. From the province to the central government, senior leaders continued to come to inspect. With their support, the development work of the Baidian Village Coal Mine was quickly launched, and a group of capable people were allocated to carry out preliminary construction work in the future. Hu Jianjun also followed the team back to Baidian Village at this time, and he could see Sun Xiaoxia every day again.

Since a coal mine is to be developed, workers are definitely indispensable. This coal mine was discovered by the educated youth and villagers of Baidian Village, so they should be given priority in recruiting workers.

Many young people in Baidian Village have had the opportunity to leave the farm and become workers. A few more educated youths from the educated youth spots have left. Although the remaining ones are girls, there is still a need for female employees in the coal mines. They can be broadcasters. , you can be a publicist, you can even be a treasurer, these are all people who can read, read and do math.

Shen Long and Qin Ling still did not leave. Shen Long had no interest in working in the coal mines, and the same was true for Qin Ling. This made the old and young men in Baidian Village feel guilty. In order to compensate them, Bai Mingchuan, who has now been promoted to the secretary of the Red Guard Commune, specially Reported to the county, a public primary school was established in Baichuan Village, and Qin Ling became the official teacher of the school.

Shen Long became the village party secretary of Baidian Village. When he became the production team leader last year and led everyone to build biogas digesters and check dams, Shen Long had already joined the party on the recommendation of Bai Mingchuan.

Although he is the youngest member of the village committee, the changes he has brought to the village since he came to Baidian Village are obvious to all. The people in the village have benefited from him so much. Compared with the previous two years, life has changed dramatically. Let him be the village party secretary, and no one in the village will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, after being the youngest production team leader, Shen Long became the youngest village party secretary in the entire Red Guard Commune and even in the entire Jingbian County. Even if you look at the entire northern Shaanxi, he is only second to a few people.

When the New Year of 1971 was about to come, Shen Long and Qin Ling boarded the train back to Beijing to visit relatives. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than three years since they came to northern Shaanxi to join the queue. They all missed their relatives at home very much.
