Chapter 0093 Digging a Hole, 3 Purple Grasses
The harvesting of 180 mu (approximately 12 hectares) of alfalfa was completed quickly, which also meant that this crop of alfalfa harvest was coming to an end.
Gu Tong and his team stopped taking orders and began actively preparing for the upcoming rapeseed harvest.
Although it was just a few small amounts, the pockets of the group were filled up a bit more.
Gu Tong also received some Shennong Points, which, although not much, were still quite satisfying, even small gains are still gains.
[Effective work (three stages of harvesting), Shennong value +54]
Shennong Value: 1371 points
......
These harvesting operations brought Gu Tong 54 Shennong points and 7200 yuan in cash income.
His bank account originally had 10.16 yuan. After adding this income and subtracting the recent expense of 1800 yuan, the bank account balance is 10.7 yuan.
"Why hasn't the last agricultural machinery subsidy arrived in my account yet?"
Gu Tong closed the panel. The only thing that bothered him was that the subsidy for the harvester he had purchased was still not in his account.
The next morning, Gu Tong drove directly to the Agricultural Machinery Office to inquire about the matter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, my records show that you did submit a subsidy application form. The application then went through the review process, and then nothing happened."
The staff answered Gu Tong's questions truthfully. It wasn't just Gu Tong whose agricultural machinery subsidy had been delayed until now; Dong Jun and Ma Dongwen were in the same situation.
"The review process has been delayed again. I'll go ask your Director Zhao."
Gu Tong didn't make things difficult for the staff, because he knew very well that it was that Zhao guy behind it all again.
So he got up to go find Zhao Zhigang, but the staff quickly stopped him and explained, "Director Zhao was transferred to the city a few days ago, and the current director's surname is Wu."
"Does being transferred absolve them of responsibility?"
Gu Tongchong's staff nodded, and then went directly to find Director Wu.
After listening to his account, Director Wu specifically checked the work handover records and confirmed that Zhao Zhigang had not handed over Gu Tong and others' subsidy application forms to him during the handover.
"Mr. Gu, this was our mistake, and I apologize. How about this: you and your colleagues resubmit the materials, and I'll review them on the spot. I guarantee the subsidy will arrive within three business days."
Director Wu is very young, about the same age as Gu Tong, and his words and actions are impeccable.
In fact, Director Wu had already cursed Zhao Zhigang to the bone in his heart. The other party had dug a hole for him before leaving, he was simply a piece of trash.
He actually felt quite sorry for Gu Tong and the others. Zhao Zhigang was transferred because of various problems at work, and there were a lot of people complaining about him.
Of course, Director Wu was also secretly pleased.
As a new official, he was eager to make a name for himself and was worried about how to get things going when the opportunity presented itself. In fact, he had to thank Zhao Zhigang.
"Okay, thank you, Director Wu."
Gu Tong then called Dong Jun and Ma Dongwen, asking them to come over and resubmit the materials together.
Director Wu kept his word and signed the "agree" approval on the spot, guaranteeing that the subsidy would arrive within three working days.
After leaving the Agricultural Machinery Office, Gu Tong told Dong Jun and Lao Ma to go back first, while he went to the relevant departments to complain about Zhao Zhigang for deliberately hiding application forms and maliciously making things difficult for the public.
Upon returning home, he reported Zhao Zhigang's various misdeeds to the relevant departments in Yiwu City.
Whether it's useful or not, he can't let the other person have an easy time.
The sheep had already been fed today, so there was no need to go out to graze them. Gu Tong then drove to Bulak Village.
He parked his car at the village entrance and then went directly to Lin Hao's field to check on the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation system.
"It's an intelligent drip irrigation system, and this whole system will probably cost more than Ma Dongwen and his team estimated."
This system enables precise irrigation and fertilization, saving a significant amount of irrigation and pesticide costs.
Irrigation for farmland in Bulak Village is not as convenient as in Salbu Village or Gutong Village, so this investment is still very worthwhile.
Looking at the rapeseed in the field, although it suffered some damage during the late spring cold snap, it has recovered very well and is currently growing very well. It's just that the weeds in the field haven't been completely removed.
If weeds are allowed to grow freely, it will definitely affect the rapeseed yield.
"Since Lin Hao isn't going to hold a grudge against us, I'll secretly give him a hand too."
Irrigation is a fully contracted service, and in principle, it should be done by a team of four.
But Lin Hao quietly implemented the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation system, which reduced the workload of the four-person team, and Gu Tong had to accept this favor.
There's nothing wrong with this rapeseed field except that weeding isn't very effective, so Gu Tong plans to do this good deed anonymously, just to have peace of mind.
So he returned home, spent 8 Shennong points to exchange for enough [Root Enhancement Liquid] for 80 acres of land, and took a drone to spray it on Lin Hao's rapeseed field.
Then he left Bulak Village without telling anyone about spraying the pesticide.
However, Lin Hao happened to be at home today and even saw Gu Tong spraying the pesticides from a distance.
But he didn't go over to meet Gu Tong. Since she hadn't called beforehand, it meant she had no intention of letting him know at all.
After Gu Tong left, Lin Hao went to the field and walked around, wondering, "It's definitely not topdressing, but what kind of pesticide is being sprayed? What effect will it have?"
Most people would ask Gu Tong directly, but Lin Hao wouldn't do that. Instead, he planned to come to the field every day to check and figure things out eventually.
The purpose of spraying pesticides is simply to kill insects, prevent and treat diseases, and remove weeds. As long as he observes for several days, he will definitely be able to draw the correct conclusion.
After returning home, Gu Tong sat under the grape trellis and leisurely ate watermelon.
Upon opening the panel, I saw that the previous task had indeed not yielded any Shennong Points, so it seems that this was another instance of "helping others for pleasure".
Although he also lost 8 Shennong points, he felt it was worth it.
Shennong Value: 1363 points
......
At that moment, he received a call from Chen Ye, who asked if he was home.
Gu Tong replied that he was at home, and the other party told him to wait at home before hanging up.
Less than half an hour later, Chen Ye, accompanied by a township official, entered Gu Tong's courtyard. The two were carrying large and small bags, and Gu Tong quickly got up to help.
"Captain Chen, what's wrong with you...?"
"These things are a small token of our appreciation from the families of the wounded, the research team, and myself. You must accept them, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself when I get back."
Chen Ye didn't give Gu Tong a chance to refuse and put the things into the house directly.
The township officials who helped Chen Ye with the way, after having a cup of tea and sitting for a while, said goodbye and left.
Chen Ye then returned to the car, brought out three hydroponically grown "Western Region Purple Grass" seedlings, and placed them in front of Gu Tong.
"You said you wanted to see real gromwell, which isn't uncommon in the deep mountains. With your skills, you shouldn't be unable to find it, right? So I guess you're interested in artificially cultivating gromwell, right? These three seedlings are our failed experiments, and we're giving them to you."
As soon as Chen Ye opened his mouth, Gu Tong knew that his little scheme had been seen through.
Of course, he never intended to hide it.
Everyone has curiosity and imagination. I just wanted to try cultivating gromwell, and I wasn't afraid of others finding out.
"Captain Chen, you're so generous! Thank you so much! But is it appropriate for you to give me this experimental subject like this?"
Gu Tong saw that the three purple gromwell seedlings soaking in the nutrient solution not only lacked vitality but also suffered from bacterial infection.
Under normal circumstances, they would hardly survive; their only value would be to be made into specimens later.
But who is Gu Tong? He not only possesses multiple inheritances, but he can also exchange various powerful items from the Shennong Pavilion. He only glanced at them and felt that he was 80% confident that he could save these three seedlings.
To avoid trouble, he quickly asked one more question.
