Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0524 Fan Hongdou, Take the Hoe
Decree date.
Nan Yi got up at five o'clock, ran around the village, and then ran to the lotus pond in the village.
After dinner yesterday, Nan Yi and Fan Hongdou set up several traps in the lotus pond and several "hooks" on the pond embankment. Now they are going to count their results.
A bamboo strip is tied to one end of the hook and inserted into the edge of the pond embankment as a fixed object.
Nan Yi walked to a hook, pulled the bamboo stick out of the mud, pulled the fishing line, and instantly, ripples appeared on the surface of the pond.
"It's stocked, it's stocked, Godfather, what kind of fish is this?"
Fan Hongdou, who was next to Nan Yi, shouted.
"The only fish that will bite our bait are turtles, snakehead fish, catfish, and yellow eels. The water ripples are so big, it can only be snakehead fish or catfish. Snakehead fish is the most likely, as catfish don't like to eat pig liver."
Nan Yi was talking while reeling in the fishing line. Soon a dark green snakehead fish emerged from the water.
"It's not small, at least five and a half kilograms. What a shame! It ate hundreds of thousands of tons of fish."
"Godfather, you're exaggerating. No matter how much it eats, it can't eat so much."
"You don't understand. It takes at least two years for a snakehead to grow to this size. If it eats five small fish a day, that's 3,650 fish in two years. Let's take crucian carp as an example. A female crucian carp can produce more than 100,000 eggs a year, which can produce more than 3,000 young fish.
Among the 3,650 fish, if we assume that half of them are female fish, they can reproduce 5.47 million fish in one year, and 27.375 million fish in five years;
This is just their first generation, second generation, third generation, and so on to the Nth generation. If we continue to calculate like this, how many generations of [10 to the 42nd power] of fish will a snakehead eat?"
"Godfather, you are changing the concept. According to your calculation, it is more than hundreds of thousands of tons. You can calculate more than that."
"Haha, so, we have to eliminate the black snakehead in the lotus pond. In this way, by the end of the year, every household in the village can get a train car full of fish, which is enough to eat for several years." Nan Yi said with a smile.
Fan Hongdou retorted: "Impossible, the lotus pond is only this big, and the number of fish that can survive in it is relatively fixed."
"reason."
"Food and oxygen."
"These two are indeed the main reasons, but they are not comprehensive. I'm not with you, Hongdou, you've been lax. Most of the employees of the village reclamation group know this piece of knowledge."
Nan Yi spoke with great righteousness, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In fact, he only knew these two points and had not studied the others in depth. If Fan Hongdou asked him back, he really wouldn't be able to answer.
However, there is one thing Nan Yi was not talking nonsense about. Most of the employees of the Reclamation Group have a deep understanding of aquaculture. Whether it is studying abroad or inviting experts to give training and lectures, the Reclamation Group has never stopped training its employees.
As long as the employees do not just muddle through and live from day to day, and stay in the reclamation group for a year, their level cannot be lower than that of ordinary agricultural technicians.
"Godfather, I looked at the accounts of the Reclamation Group yesterday. The expenses for employee training actually accounted for 30% of the annual expenses. Isn't this too high?"
“Not very high. The Reclamation Group is taking the path of technological agriculture. There is no other way at the moment. Among all the talents who have the opportunity to escape from farming, how many are willing to work in agriculture?
They have had enough of working hard with their backs to the sky and their faces to the earth.
There is also the issue of the nature of the enterprise. The Reclamation Group is a village collective enterprise, and talented people will not be willing to work there. There is no choice but to train the semi-illiterate people in the village. They cannot even recognize all the characters, so it is naturally difficult for them to learn. The training period can only be extended indefinitely, and the expenses will naturally be high.
When the situation improves in the future, the Reclamation Group will definitely absorb a large number of highly educated talents from outside. In the future, it will be an agricultural company as well as a high-tech company. "
"Same as Scarlett Food Group?" Fan Hongdou asked.
“The route is similar, but the investment cannot be the same as Scarlett. Scarlett is a company that is 100% controlled by our Nan family. The godfather can make the final decision. For five or ten years, the godfather does not require profit, and all revenue can be invested in scale expansion and technology research and development.
The Reclamation Group is not an option. In the near future, it will have thousands or tens of thousands of farmer shareholders, and every decision will need to be approved by the board of directors and more than half of the shareholders. "
"Godfather, there are too many shareholders, so the focus of the Reclamation Group can only be on short-term projects. The proportion of long-term projects cannot be too high. If a large amount of annual revenue is invested in technological research and development, I think the shareholders will not agree." Fan Hongdou said very logically.
"You are right. Therefore, before the shareholding reform, the Reclamation Group must lay a solid foundation in technology research and development. Training and research and development will be the core work of the Reclamation Group in the next ten years."
Nan Yi took the sewing needle out of the snakehead's mouth, threw the snakehead into the bucket, wiped his hand in the short grass to remove the slime, picked up the bucket, and walked towards the next hook with Fan Hongdou.
"Godfather will let you manage all the domestic industries, including the Reclamation Group. You already have a good understanding of vegetable cultivation, but you don't know enough about other aspects of agriculture. As a member of the Nan family, you must understand agriculture, and you must improve your knowledge in this area."
As Nan Yi was speaking, he pulled up another hook. This time, there was an old turtle on the hook, weighing a little over two pounds.
"Godfather, I will."
"Hmm." Nan Yi looked at the old turtle in his hand and said, "What a pity, it's a male, otherwise godfather could go and find some turtle eggs and make you a turtle fart and shit eggs."
"Turtle deflates, right?"
"Almost. Godfather is a stinky man who never has nice words in his mouth. Hongdou, you are a lady, don't talk like Godfather."
"Hehe, no."
Fan Hongdou smiled faintly.
Compared with Nan Ruoyin, Fan Hongdou is more introverted and keeps a calm expression on her face most of the time. When she grows up, her face will definitely become colder.
After all the hooks were collected, Nan Yi harvested five snakehead fish, a catfish, two old turtles and a yellow eel. He had nine hooks, and none of them missed, and all of them were of considerable size.
The lotus pond hasn't dried up for five years. No one in the village makes a living by fishing, and no one comes to cause trouble. The resources in the lotus pond are extremely good.
Out of excitement, Nan Yi did not rush into the water to collect the traps. Instead, he stood on the pond bank and clapped rhythmically, clapping a few times, stopping for a while, then clapping a few more times and stopping for a while.
This cycle repeated itself for two or three minutes before Nan Yi saw five turtle heads emerging from the surface of the pond.
"Godfather, what is the principle behind this?"
Fan Hongdou was surprised when she saw the turtle head sticking out of the water.
"Godfather doesn't know for sure, but when he was a kid he met a professional turtle-beater who did just that. Later, Godfather heard a story about a turtle spirit in the water that particularly liked to eat women who were doing laundry.
The sound of the godfather's clapping just now was very similar to the sound of a woman beating clothes with a mallet on the pier. When the turtle spirit heard the sound, it thought that the woman washing clothes had come, so of course it had to pop its head up to take a look.
Listen, they are saying: 'Wow, great, great, today's breakfast is not an old lady... an old woman, but a snail girl. '"
Nan Yi said as he picked up Fan Hongdou and pretended to throw her into the water, "Hahaha, the snail girl is going to feed the turtles."
"Godfather, let me go. Your hands smell so fishy."
"The strong fishy smell is easy to deal with. Add some rice wine. If that doesn't work, add some basil." Nan Yi held Fan Hongdou and swung his hands like a swing. As long as he let go, Fan Hongdou would fly into the pond due to inertia.
"Godfather, please let me go. I'm wearing new clothes, and I'm wearing them for the first time."
"Haha, that's a shame."
Nan Yi smiled, put Fan Hongdou on the ground, took off his T-shirt and trousers, leaving only his boxer shorts , took a few steps back, ran hard, kicked the edge of the pond embankment with his left foot, and flew into the air.
He somersaulted in the air, with his head down and his feet up.
He put his hands together and dived into the water with a splash.
After a while, Nan Yi emerged from the water again, identified the direction, and fluttered his feet twice, and he had reached the shallow water area.
Wading through the water, Nan Yi collected the five traps that were lowered into the water and put them onto the pond embankment.
"Wow, Godfather, so many shrimps?"
Fan Hongdou exclaimed when she saw the densely packed and lively shrimps in the ground traps.
Nan Yi was also a little surprised. There were too many shrimps and miscellaneous fish in the traps. After a rough estimate, there were nearly eleven pounds of shrimps in the five traps. Together with wild crucian carp, mullet, grass carp, mandarin fish, yellow eel, and water snake, there were at least seventeen or eighteen pounds.
The weight may not seem heavy, but there are a lot of them. The opening of the ground trap is not big, so even big fish cannot get in.
Nan Yi pointed at the shrimp cage and said to Fan Hongdou, "Hongdou, look, even though godfather didn't put bait in the cage, there are still so many shrimps crawling in. This shows that the density of shrimps in the lotus pond is very high. There are too many shrimps in the pond, and the oxygen supply in the water will be insufficient. Go along the pond embankment and see if there are any dead fish floating."
"Um."
Fan Hongdou agreed and walked around the pond bank.
Nan Yi carried the bucket to the bank of the pond, picked out the snakehead fish and catfish, and threw them back into the lotus pond.
Just a dozen minutes ago, Nan Yi was thinking that there were too many black snakeheads in the lotus pond, and he was planning to make a targeted capture. But now it seems that there are not too many at all, but very few.
"We need to go outside and catch some snakehead fish to control the shrimp population."
Nan Yi was thinking in his mind while he kept working. He poured the shrimps in the shrimp cage into the bucket, threw the miscellaneous fish and snakes back into the lotus pond, and then put the shrimp cage back into the water.
"Godfather, I only saw two dead fish, and they were not big." After walking around, Fan Hongdou came back and said to Nan Yi.
"Oh, take Godfather to have a look, let's catch the fish and do an autopsy on them."
"Godfather, do you still want to find out the cause of the fish's death?"
"yes."
Nan Yi responded and asked Fan Hongdou to take him to the dead fish.
After some trouble, both dead fish were pulled ashore.
There were two dead fish, one was a black carp and the other was a bighead carp. Nan Yi first observed the surface of the dead fish and did not see anything abnormal, so he ruled out red skin disease.
"Red bean, grass carp, black carp, bighead carp and carp are all susceptible to red skin disease, which is characterized by the shedding of fish scales and red blood clots in some parts. These two obviously did not have that, so red skin disease can be ruled out as the cause of death.
In addition, fish can also get furunculosis, which will cause a red lump to appear on the fish's body. These two obviously do not have these symptoms, so furunculosis can also be ruled out as the cause of death.
Next, we should observe their gills. "Nan Yi said, prying open the gills of the roundhead bream, "Take a look, can you see anything wrong?"
Fan Hongdou came close to Nan Yi and looked into his hand, "Godfather, the gills of this fish should have started to rot before it died."
"You're right. This is gill rot, and it's a disease that fish can get very easily." Nan Yi said as he pried open the gills of the black carp. "The gills of this fish haven't rotted yet, they're just white..."
Nan Yi brought the fish close to his nose and sniffed it. "There's no rotten smell yet. This fish has been dead for a while. On the surface, we can't tell the cause of its death, so we need to open its abdominal cavity and observe."
Asking the school beauty to use a knife to open the abdominal cavity of the black carp, Nan Yi pulled out the internal organs of the black carp, observed for a while, and then pointed at the fish intestines and said, "See, this part is yellow and inflamed. The cause of death of this fish should be enteritis.
Well, the cause of death of the two fish has been found out. The time of death of the bighead carp was between twenty-four and seventy-two hours, and the time of death of the black carp was within six hours.
Godfather speculates that the two cases were committed by the same murderer and can be investigated together. Captain Fan, I only give you 24 hours, you must catch the murderer. "
Nan Yi patted Fan Hongdou on the shoulder and said earnestly: "All the folks in Quantang are watching you, don't let them down."
"Yes, Director Nan, I will make sure to complete the task." Fan Hongdou straightened his chest and said, "I will call the veterinarian back for questioning right away."
"I don't think the veterinarian can help. We need to go find your grandmother Ge and ask her to send a worker who specializes in aquaculture to take a look. Enteritis is not a big problem, but gill rot is a bit troublesome. We need to sprinkle some medicine into the lotus pond to disinfect the water.
We'll talk about this in the afternoon. Let's go home and wash up and get ready for the meeting."
"Um."
