Chapter 965: The generous Li Long and the stingy Li Long (First update then edit)

The train returned from Yanjing to Urumqi all the way. In the middle, Li Long cooperated very well with Chen Xiang Dong's actions, and nothing happened.

After arriving in Urumqi and reporting to the Ethnic Affairs Committee, he was received by the leader. The leader encouraged Li Long well and told him that his deeds materials would be organized and sent out in the future, and his cooperation would still be needed later.

Li Long naturally agreed fully, and after some registration and photos, this task was completely finished. Li Long asked for the phone number of Chen Xiang Dong's office, saying that they would keep in touch in the future.

Chen Xiang Dong also proactively kept Li Long's phone number. He always felt that this Li Long was a bit different from the advanced individuals he had met before.

The local specialties bought in Beijing were still shipped back, so Li Long didn't rush back to the county. After taking the things from the shipping department at the train station that evening, he stayed at the August 1st Guesthouse for one night. After breakfast the next day, he started to distribute these things.

Li Long went to the August 1st Agricultural College first. When he came to Professor Wu's place during the New Year, he brought specialties and also brought some for Professor Luo, but didn't see anyone. This trip was to see Professor Luo.

"If you were two days later, you wouldn't be able to see me." In the office, Professor Luo said with a smile while pouring water for Li Long, "After finishing the saline-alkali land improvement experiment at your place last year, I went to other places, and there were still gains. When school started this year, someone invited us to go, and after asking the school leaders for instructions, I will take a few students to the Eastern Xinjiang area for a month or two in two days."

"That's still quite hard." Li Long stood up and took the water, "The wind in Eastern Xinjiang is strong, hot, and staying there is much harder than our place."

"Engaged in agriculture, we still have this kind of enlightenment." Professor Luo sat down and said, "To tell the truth, it is also thanks to your suggestion that we discovered some new problems when conducting soil improvement experiments, and also found some new research directions.

Someone is constantly inviting us to help them conduct soil improvement experiments and measure soil for fertilization, which is also very helpful for our research.

Of course, to tell the truth, when we people go to the local area, the local people attach great importance to it. Although it can't reach the conditions you provided at that time, in general, it is stronger than the local average level, and the guarantees are all very good."

Li Long smiled, took a sip of water and said:

"This is what it should be. Our country has attached importance to capable people since ancient times. Your going to the countryside brings real benefits to the common people, so everyone must treat you well.

To tell the truth, the fertilizer formula you left in our county, we opened up other saline-alkali lands, and using this formula's fertilizer is effective. This is really providing us with benefits, so we must thank you."

"Alright, alright, let's not blow each other up." Professor Luo smiled, "We accept the specialties you brought. When the time comes, we will gather and share them with the members of the experimental group.

I heard that you won the national ethnic unity advanced individual, amazing, amazing, congratulations to you. There will be opportunities to go to your place in the future, and our requirements can't be lowered then."

"Don't worry, there will only be improvements, not decreases." Li Long knew that this was Professor Luo joking, so he followed the topic.

Saying goodbye to Professor Luo, Professor Wu just finished class. Seeing Li Long waiting at the office door with things, Professor Wu said a bit embarrassed:

"Comrade Li Long, look, I let you wait for a while, I should have let you find a place to sit."

"It's okay, it's okay, just waited for a short while." Li Long followed Professor Wu into the office, "I went to Yanjing again these two days, brought back some specialties, and just happened to come over to see you."

"Did you go to participate in the commendation?" Professor Wu also knew about this matter, it should be from the newspaper, "Very amazing, commended nationally, showing that the things you did are really very good."

"Hehe," Li Long put the two bags of specialties on the table and smiled, "Anyway, I have indeed done some things, and I am also quite proud.

But to tell the truth, I have also benefited a lot from it. In the past, my family was also poor, and I exchanged some things from the mountains and ethnic brothers, earned a price difference, and gradually life got better.

But their lives are still relatively backward, so I thought about letting them live a better life too."

"If everyone could think like you, our society would be much better." Professor Wu said while pouring water for Li Long, "Not planting land anymore?"

"I don't plant anymore, my land is handed over to my eldest brother, and my eldest brother is planting. This year, quite a few people in our village are planting melon seeds."

"This kind of economic crop, melon seeds, cannot be planted continuously in the same piece of land." Professor Wu thought for a while and said, "And it has relatively high requirements for soil quality. The yield of melon seeds that do not meet the planting conditions will not be high."

"Everyone understands these." Li Long held the teacup and said, "But no matter what, the purchase price of one kilogram of melon seeds is about two yuan on average. One mu of land, even if it only harvests one hundred kilograms or even less, the income is still more than planting grain.

So many people will expand the planting area in order to earn more money."

"Also. Our grain yield in Northern Xinjiang is still quite high, and it has long passed the level of eating enough. Everyone wants to live a better life, which is thinking about earning more money from the land."

Professor Wu also sighed and said, to realize the four modernizations, to let farmers enter a well-off society, they must live a good life. Where does the money come from? Farmers' money can only be asked from the land.

"Our Northern Xinjiang is still considered good," Li Long sighed, "At least everyone has five mu of ration fields, and now there are large areas of saline-alkali land that can be opened up. Calculating it, one person has more than ten mu of land.

Just planting some grain is enough to eat, and the rest can be pondered on how to plant economic crops. Economic crops earn money faster than grain, so the living standard can be higher."

"What economic crops are there in your area now?" Professor Wu asked with interest.

"Besides melon seeds, sunflower seeds, there are cotton planted in the regiment, and then sugar beets, and a small amount of safflower, etc." Li Long thought for a while and said, "There might be more cotton planted in the future."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because cotton can also grow in saline-alkali land, and its ability to resist saline-alkali is stronger than other economic crops. Most economic crops are picky about land, but cotton is not."

"That's the truth. However, cotton is prone to insects. Once pests and diseases are rampant, it is very likely to cause total crop failure." Professor Wu knows a lot and reminded Li Long, "This is the place that needs the most attention."

"Yes, once the planting scale goes up, relying on manpower to spray medicine won't work." Li Long also agreed and said, "I have a cooperation with the agricultural machinery factory in Kuitun. I previously developed a harvester and a cultivator, and I plan to develop a sprayer carried by a small four-wheeled tractor in a year or two when cotton planting spreads."

"Hey, I guessed it was you!" Professor Wu patted the table and smiled, "When the harvester came out before, we contacted the agricultural machinery factory, and they said it was a cooperation with someone else, and the name was Li Long.

I thought about whether it would be you, but because it was Kuitun, I didn't ask you directly. Little Li, not bad! It can be seen that you really have talent in agricultural machinery. Have you ever thought about going to school for further studies? I think you can definitely make greater achievements in this area."

"Forget about further studies." Li Long shook his head and said, "My theoretical foundation is too poor, and I definitely can't keep up. My things in this area are completely out of interest. And now there are too many things, I have to build roads in the mountains, manage my purchasing station, and there are tasks in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative regularly..."

"You are really a busy person." Professor Wu smiled, "No wonder you can receive national commendation. Just the things you have done, ordinary people can't do."

"Quite good, young people dare to think and dare to do, and it is good to break through in different fields."

Li Long smiled and didn't make a sound.

Professor Wu found some magazines about agricultural machinery for Li Long, as well as books on basic theoretical knowledge of machinery, and asked him to take them back to read.

After leaving the Agricultural College, Li Long took the remaining portion of specialties to the Jade Carving Factory.

There are no customers here at Engineer Liu's place now. He is lying on the table carving jade. Wearing a small headlamp on his head, holding an electric tool, he is slowly pondering on a small piece of jade. ===== CHAPTER 966 =====
