Chapter 1245: A Thousand Jin

After making two phone calls, Su Xinghui threw himself into intense work. It was already early October, and the town was in the midst of a bustling rice harvest. Su Xinghui had been worried about how the rice harvest would turn out this year.

Su Xinghui first exchanged ideas with Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian, and Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian briefed him on the work situation in the town during the week or so that Su Xinghui was away.

Various tasks in the town were advancing steadily, and there were no accidents. These days were the rice harvest period and also the vegetable seedling period. Cadres from various villages and groups were leading the villagers to carry out these tasks in an orderly manner.

Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian told Su Xinghui that so far this year, the average rice yield per mu had reached nearly 900 jin, which surprised Su Xinghui. It seemed that the town's agricultural technicians had been conservative in their predictions, and this year's rice yield in the town was much higher than the 800 jin they predicted.

Su Xinghui went down to the village. He came to Dongtang Village. He wanted to see the rice harvest scene on the spot and make himself happy.

Liu Tiegang was watching the harvester harvest his own rice at the edge of his field. Su Xinghui shouted from far away, "Director Liu, how is it? Your family's rice harvest this year is not bad, right?"

Liu Tiegang looked back and saw it was Su Xinghui. He smiled and said, "Town Mayor, you're back! A couple of days ago, the few mu of land on the east side of my house were harvested, with an average yield of over 910 jin per mu. Today, these few mu will only be more! The land here is better than that land."

Su Xinghui said, "That's amazing. Your family's yield per mu is higher than the average yield per mu of the whole town."

Liu Tiegang said proudly, "Of course. My family plants rice according to the methods experts say—how to plow the land, how much base fertilizer to apply, when to apply how much urea—everything is done without the slightest error. Of course, the yield is high."

A middle-aged man next to him said somewhat dejectedly, "Why did my rice fall over?"

Liu Tiegang said, "Who told you not to listen to the experts? I said your urea application was too much. If it's too fertile, it's easy to fall over. You didn't listen, saying that the more chemical fertilizer you apply, the higher the yield will definitely be. Now it's fallen over, right?"

The middle-aged man said, "Last year my family had no money, so I applied less fertilizer and the yield was low. This year I said I would apply more fertilizer so I could harvest more grain. Who knew it would fall over? Now, it'll be good if I can harvest 500 jin per mu."

Liu Tiegang said, "I don't think so. This fallen rice definitely can't be harvested by a harvester, as the loss would be too great. You should harvest it manually. I see your rice growth is still quite good. I estimate that you can still harvest 600 or 700 jin per mu. Next year, you must listen to the experts." ===== CHAPTER 1247 =====
