Chapter 140: The War Between Man and Rats (Please subscribe!)
Wuyuan, Youlian Village.

Yang Xiaobing was very glad that he bought the Cheetah tractor early on, as the grassland was plagued by rodents and the fields were also affected.

The cooperative's more than 6000 acres of land were leveled, and he used a high-horsepower tractor to do a deep plowing, so that the mice hiding underground had nowhere to hide.

Sprinkle the medicine and you can start sowing.

Some villages were not so lucky, and the county had requisitioned his tractor to help.

I drove a tractor to the field and saw many people digging rat holes.

Rat holes were everywhere, and next to the huge holes were piles of loose soil.

From time to time, there were noises of startling noises, and a group of people would come and go, chasing the rats.

He got off the tractor and roared.

"Block the back door. If you don't block it, you'll dig here and he'll run there. After digging for a long time, you won't catch many mouse hairs."

A woman asked, "Where is the back door?"

Yang Xiaobing knew the woman and once mocked him for being a coward and unable to support the cooperative.

After concentrating on searching for a while, he pointed to a place. The back door was very hidden, just like an ordinary crack, and it was easy to be overlooked.

The woman dug some soil and was about to block the hole when a fat rat quickly slipped out. The woman hit it with a shovel, but missed. The rat took the opportunity to slip back into the hole.

The woman patted her chest and panted, "Oh, this rat, how come it's so big? I was panicked when it came out... Yang Xiaobing, what are you doing here?"

Yang Xiaobing pointed at the cheetah not far away with a proud look, looking mighty and majestic.

“The county needs to use the cooperative’s tractors to plow the soil and spread the pesticides.”

"Oh, with the big machine, it really needs to be more efficient. God doesn't give us food. I heard that the grassland rodent infestation in the north is even more serious."

"I heard that in some places, the grass turns yellow before it even turns green, and rat holes are everywhere. Rats even compete with cattle and sheep for food. At one of my relatives' homes, more than a dozen sheep were bitten by rats."

Another rat jumped out from the side. Yang Xiaobing grabbed the shovel and hit it with it, spilling its sticky intestines.

The woman said, "Disgusting, Yang Xiaobing, can you please be gentler? The intestines and blood are coming out."

Yang Xiaobing laughed and said, "That blood and rat feces are better than any fertilizer. The wheat that grows from it is tall and strong."

"Forget it, forget it, go drive your tractor."

"We are waiting for people and machines. Someone from the village needs to come and arrange what to do. Now the land is turned over. What should we do if the farmers make a fuss?"

"What else can we do? It's already like this, we can only sow a second time."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaobing shoveled a few more times, and the rat became a pool of blood.

The woman dodged the shovel.

"You really want to disgust me, don't you? You're angry, so you take it out on your wife. The mouse didn't provoke you."

The mouse didn't provoke me, it was you who provoke me.

You say I'm a coward, but today I'll let you see whether I'm a coward or not. With the Cheetah tractor, the surrounding areas have to rely on me.

After a while, a few more tractors arrived, the village assigned work, did some ideological work for the villagers, and then the tilling of the soil began.

The machine rolled over, the soil was lifted up, and countless rats were fleeing. The villagers watching on the side swung their shovels and hit the rats hard, but they could not stop the surging stream of rats from fleeing everywhere.

Someone asked, "How many were killed?"

"About a hundred."

"It's done, it's done. They've all escaped. We just need to put poison bait and medicine behind them."

“It’s a pity that I can’t eat it.”

"If there is no plague, we can eat them all. One rat is worth three chickens."

"Then I'll use this meat to exchange for your chicken?"

……

The rodent infestation is spreading.

Measures were taken hastily everywhere.
Xie Shijie took the summarized information, found Guo Yang and handed it to him.

"2000 million mu of grassland in Gannan has suffered from a crazy rodent infestation."

"In Mongolia, 9800 million mu of grassland was affected by disasters, and in Bali, more than 800 million mu was affected. They hope we can coordinate tractors to deep plow the grasslands."

Guo Yang frowned.

"My tutor also called me and told me that the situation this year is severe and herders' cattle and sheep are often starving to death."

Xie Shijie was worried. The rodent infestation had also affected Jiahe's work, and the focus of work of local governments was shifting.

Guo Yang looked at the documents that were brought to him. There were pictures and videos in the documents. The situation at the scene was more shocking than words could describe.

Xie Shijie said: "I don't understand. The engineering department has been working on this project for some time."

Muhe has a grassland degradation control project in Sangke grassland in Gannan.

Sangke Grassland is famous for its nine-bend source of the Yellow River and is also a household name due to the movie "A World Without Thieves".

Guo Yang said: "Alfalfa No. 1 can't prevent rats. Although rats are only two or three inches long, they have amazing reproductive capacity. It is commonly known as 'one male and one female, two hundred and fifty in three years'.

Each female mouse gives birth to an average of 45 pups per year, and a pair of adult mice can produce 1.5 offspring.

The rats were frantically digging holes, digging up grass roots, and destroying the turf. The grassland surface was riddled with holes and there were only a few hairs left. It looked like a bald man.

Xie Shijie asked: "What about Meng Province?"

Guo Yang looked at the information in the file.
“I asked my mentor, climate change and overgrazing are the causes of disasters.”

"90% of the funds for the national grazing land restoration project are used to build grassland fences, and only 10% are used to reseed and improve grasslands."

"Due to insufficient funding, the area of ​​grassland de-ratification each year only accounts for 20% of the area affected, which has laid the hidden danger for the reproduction and spread of rodent pests."

"At the same time, the number of natural predators of rats, such as foxes, eagles, snakes and wolves, has decreased, and rats are rampant."

Guo Yang shook his head and smiled, "The rat infestation has broken out, but it's not so bad."

"Now there are hundreds of grassland workers, dozens of rat extermination teams, and tens of thousands of herdsmen on the Gannan grasslands, carrying bows and arrows, spears and shovels, catching harmful rats." Xie Shijie asked: "What is Jiahe going to do?"

This is something you can do or not do.

"Gannan is a natural grassland. We donated a batch of forage seeds, chronic poison baits and medicines. At the same time, Jiahe has also organized several rodent control teams and invited employees and partners to participate. Do you want to try it too?"

Xie Shijie was interested. The job of assistant to the chairman was really tiring. He was busy from beginning to end of the year. Jiahe had many industries, and he needed to accumulate knowledge in many sectors.

It's a rare opportunity to go out with pay, so I draw my bow and arrow and shoot rats.

The battle between humans and rats is so exciting to listen to.

"Okay, then I'll go to Gannan." Shushu, wait for me.

Then he asked, "Boss, are you at the group headquarters or are you going out?"

Guo Yang smiled and said, "I will go to the Wuyuan project first, then go to the Urad grassland. If there is still time, I will come to Gannan."

……

The tractor was still on the way, Guo Yang and Zhang Wei arrived in Wuyuan first.

Donghe Agricultural Machinery has demonstrated strong organizational capabilities. It has its own high-horsepower tractors and a powerful agricultural machinery cooperative, with more than 300 tractors gathering on the grassland.

The Pakistan League has made up its mind to use airplanes and tractors to help eliminate rats in addition to poison baits and medicines.

All the artificial grasslands in Urat that were most severely damaged were deep-plowed and re-seeded, and pesticides were sprayed by aircraft at the same time.

After a walk around Wuyuan, Guo Yang felt relieved that the situation was under control.

The 20 mu of saline-alkali land has been newly improved. After extensive engineering measures, there is no soil for rats to survive.

At present, the sowing of Alfalfa No. 1 has been completed and shallow sprouts have also emerged.

He also met Yang Xiaobing, who was turning the land everywhere. The rodent infestation of Tianmai No. 1 planted by Huimin Cooperative was also under control.

In the remaining villages, the rodent infestation in the farmland is also being alleviated as local farmers take active measures.

It seems okay.

But because it is close to the Urat grassland, the mice can't find food and naturally wander around.

So, the focus is still on the grassland.

Guo Yang also paid attention to the progress of the accumulation of natural energy and was delighted.

Sure enough, I still have to wait for a long time before watching.

After cultivating soybean seeds and vegetable seeds, only 3 points of natural energy are left.

Now I have been saving for 1 year.

It seems that the 20 acres of saline-alkali land in Jinta has been completely controlled, and the environmental restoration projects of other projects are also being promoted, with each side gaining something.

Natural energy is experiencing a boom.

A total of 803 points of natural energy.

Including the energy consumed, a total of 1302 energy points were accumulated for the seed store.

All of this was achieved through environmental restoration. Suddenly, Guo Yang felt a great sense of accomplishment. Shouldn’t I be appointed as an Environmental Protection Ambassador?
However, the use of existing natural energy still needs long-term planning, and it would be best if it could be integrated with the existing businesses of each subsidiary.

Going around,

After the farm machinery arrived, Guo Yang and Zhang Wei also went to the grassland, but horses were not allowed on the grassland.

There are rat holes everywhere and it is easy to fall if you go there right away.

The farms on the grassland were filled with all kinds of large wheeled tractors, including imported ones and Cheetah ones. Guo Yang also saw Dongfanghong and Lovol.

But what attracted the most attention were the few Dongfanghong crawler tractors.

Guo Yang admitted that he was jealous.

This thing will be very powerful in the terrain of Meng Province. Only China First Tractor Group has this foundation. As long as it is useful, I can make it.

During the deep plowing process, things turned out just as Guo Yang had expected.

Wheel tractors seem to be weak, but crawler tractors can adapt to the mountainous and hilly terrain of the special envoy, and deep plowing is stable and deeper.

Fortunately, the Cheetah has more horsepower, with 220 horsepower, which is 100 horsepower more, so it is not at a disadvantage.

Siqinbatu, deputy chief of the Plant Protection Section of the Mongolian Grassland Station, had a fierce look on his face.

In previous years, Urad was a model county for being free of rodent pests. However, this year, there was a large-scale outbreak as well. In the most serious areas, there were more than 1400 rats per hectare of land.

The situation of rodent control is severe.

The province has already booked a large aircraft, overhauled more than 20 machines, and allocated 50 yuan in funds.

But it's not enough.

Each aircraft carries 800 kilograms of pesticides and can protect 5 acres of crops every day, which means 10 acres of crops in 50 days.

There was not enough poison bait. Of the 800 tons agreed upon, only 500 tons were delivered.

Siqinbatu was in a panic.
"Can Jiahe produce crawler tractors? I'll report to the higher authorities and buy a few dozen more. We need to speed up production."

Guo Yang gritted his teeth, but did not dare to agree. This was really a fatal problem. Technology was secondary. The main problem was insufficient production capacity.

"Then I'll ask Huaxia to help. Although the horsepower is small, it's enough."

Guo Yang was silent. No one came to YTO Company, but an order came out of nowhere and he could only watch.

Damn it, we must build a few more production bases this year!

And on the other side.

Xu Xiaoxue also noticed that there were many more agricultural machinery on the grassland, and the staff also warned her to be careful.

She watched the spraying planes,
I wonder if there is a more ecological way.
