Before Wang Yi set out to visit and study, he received a notice from the county tourism company asking him to attend a meeting.

This will be a celebration party to celebrate the success of hosting workers and cadres from the Hudu Second Smelting Plant to travel to Fuzhou.

At first Wang Yi thought this was a bit of a fuss.

Isn't it a matter of course that a travel company has successfully hosted a group of tourists? Isn't it within the scope of responsibility? Why should we celebrate such a thing?

It was only after he went there that he found out that all the staff at the smelter were very satisfied with the tour, and then the smelter union came forward to sign a contract with the tour company:

Starting from May this year, all their factory workers will come to Fuhai for tourism and recuperation in batches, with 40 people in each batch, lasting four years.

After signing the contract, the wealthy smelter paid the Urban Construction Bureau 200,000 yuan.

Now that the county is undergoing development everywhere, it is the time when money is needed.

Two hundred thousand yuan is not much, but if all of it can be invested in tourism, it can still solve some problems.

Another issue is morale.

The tourism company just opened here and made 200,000 yuan. It attracted a big customer. This was a good start and greatly encouraged the county leaders and the employees of the tourism company.

So the celebration banquet was held very enthusiastically, and the dishes were ordered from Dazhong Restaurant.

This can be regarded as reciprocating love.

Wang Yi put forward many suggestions before this trip to entertain tourists, and the travel company also adopted these suggestions.

Facts have proved that his advice is very useful.

In addition, he also has a relationship with Ye Changan, so during the banquet, he came to toast him, and there were many people who had connections with him.

Wang Yi is not very grateful for this. He is here quietly studying the current situation of Fuhai's marine aquaculture industry.

Mariculture has been popular in Fuhai since the mid-1950s. The earliest method was to raise kelp, which is the simplest.

Beginning in the 1970s, mussel, also known as Dancai, farming suddenly emerged.

After the reform and opening up, the shallow sea aquaculture industry developed rapidly, and aquaculture projects such as swimming crabs, groupers, prawns, sea cucumbers, abalone, and eels became popular.

In particular, eel farming has become very popular in the past two years. Fohai, which is next door, is doing a particularly impressive job in this area. The eels are all exported to the little devils to earn foreign exchange for the country.

The marine aquaculture industry is Fuhai's top priority, and all leaders, no matter which unit they work for, are well aware of this.

Seeing that Wang Yi was studying the development and progress of the mariculture industry in the county, Huang Hongrui and other leaders started talking with Wang Yi around this topic:

"Mr. Wang wants to know about the marine aquaculture work in our Fuhai area? Old Liu, you are an expert. Please tell me a few words."

The old Liu in Huang Hongrui's name is Liu Wensheng. This leader was transferred from the Fisheries Bureau, and he is particularly familiar with this aspect of work.

Liu Wensheng said: "According to the inspection, our marine aquaculture industry in Fuhai started very early, starting from the Republic of China. The first was to raise seaweed and cuttlefish."

"This must have happened half a century ago. At that time, some experts first conducted artificial hatching experiments on cuttlefish in our waters. They caught cuttlefish broodstock from Dawan, put them in cages to mate and spawn at sea, and carried out artificial hatching."

"It was also this experience that gave us a direction for the marine aquaculture policy in the Fuhai area in the new China era, which is called 'focusing on fishing while catching and buying fish'. The main focus is on catching broodstock, and both catching broodstock and buying broodstock for breeding."

"I remember the earliest seaweed farming we did after the founding of the People's Republic of China. We caught seaweed seedlings ourselves for trial cultivation and succeeded," Huang Hongrui said.

Liu Wensheng said: "Yes, in the early winter of 1956, the Marine Biology Research Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences conducted a trial cultivation of kelp seedlings in Yingyingwo Bay."

"Then the seedlings from the south moved northward, and our kelp seedlings were brought to the Bohai and Yellow Seas for cultivation and were successfully harvested."

"In the same year, under the guidance of our Wengzhou Fisheries Technology Extension Station, we used the method of sprinkling lime water on the reef to remove mixed shell algae to propagate seaweed, and we also achieved success."

Kelp farming was once the flagship industry of Fuhai's marine aquaculture industry, but starting from 1974, kelp products were unsaleable, and in 1981, the aquatic products supply and marketing department directly stopped purchasing kelp.

As of this year, there are only 30 acres of kelp farming area left in the county.

Liu Wensheng lamented: "As times are progressing, our marine aquaculture project in Fuhai must also progress."

"Now that people are living a better life, they have eaten enough kelp. If we want to eat fish, shrimp and crabs, we have to raise more fish and shrimp."

Someone said: "I heard from my cousin that our county is aware of this and is preparing to upgrade the breeding industry and focus on developing marine treasure breeding bases."

"Now this breeding base has entered into planning, and it is necessary to develop a regional breeding route with one port, two bays and three large areas..."

During the chat, Wang Yi learned about the history of the marine aquaculture industry in Fuhai area.

He also proposed the idea of ​​the production team preparing to raise shrimps. Liu Wensheng said that this is a rising industry with great potential for development.

Shrimp farming is indeed a rising industry. Currently, few companies in Fuhai cultivate this industry. The main problem is technology and start-up capital.

Nowadays, shrimp farming adopts the pond culture method. Dams are built on the beach to build ponds. The ponds have sluices. When the tide rises, the sluices are opened to divert water. When the tide falls, the sluices are lowered to prevent the shrimps from escaping.

In this case, both technology and funds are needed, especially the financial problem. It is not cheap to build a shrimp pond.

It was Blue Water Commune that started the shrimp farming industry in Fuhai.

With the commune government as the main body, they established a commune enterprise. Last year, they reclaimed 40 acres of shrimp ponds on the tidal flats. In May, they released 670,000 seedlings. In October, the catch output was 5,500 kilograms, successfully generating income.

The place Wang Yi wanted to visit and study was naturally the Blue Water Commune.

But the breeding methods of the two are different.

Wang Yi is that the cage shrimp farming method is not yet popular internationally.

Currently, there are no cage fish farming projects in the entire Fuhai area. He checked the information and found that marine cage farming in Fuhai started in 1989.

Moreover, Fuhai's cage culture has been developing fish for many years.

For example, grouper was the first to be cultured.

At first, the person who raised grouper was not an official but a young fisherman.

He designed and woven a cage by himself, and then caught and cultured grouper fry. He raised 700 grouper fish and made a profit of nearly 10,000 yuan after one year.

This kind of cage culture is not the same thing as Wang Yi's shrimp cage.

The cage used by Wang Yi can be said to be an ecosystem, very developed.

You should know that adults of Penaeus monodon like to live on muddy or sandy sea bottoms and are distributed in shallow sea areas.

An advanced shrimp cage culture method developed later uses a large cage similar to a maze for culture.

This cage is very large and is made up of many small cages with odd shapes connected together. It then falls to the bottom of the sea. The bottom of the cage touches the sediment on the seabed, which makes the prawns imprisoned but they think they are not imprisoned.

In addition, because this kind of cage covers a large area, it can have close contact with a lot of seaweed.

Penaeus monodon is a shrimp with a wide range of food habits. It not only takes in animal food, but also plant food. So when seaweed grows in the cage, they will eat the seaweed.

Wang Yi has already bought the cage. He went to Blue Water Commune mainly to see the shrimp farming technology and the use of medicines in this era.

The other one is to see if they can buy some shrimp seedlings. If they can buy shrimp seedlings from Blue Water Commune, they won't have to catch broodstock for breeding.

You know, once the broodstock needs to be harvested for reproduction, the shrimp breeding work will have to be delayed for at least one season.

On Sunday, April 10, Wang Yi had a rest and took Zhou Dayuan to Lanshui Commune.

Blue Water Commune is located in the westernmost part of the county, far away from the main island, so there are relatively few interactions with the main island.

But they developed very well after the reform and opening up, because they were very poor here before.

As the saying goes, poverty leads to change. In 1980, they implemented single-ship accounting, breaking the shackles of "team-based, three-level accounting", changing the accounting mechanism of eating from a big pot, and effectively liberating labor productivity.

In this case, the production unit has the autonomy of production, distribution and labor combination, and has the enthusiasm to produce and save costs, which leads to the improvement of economic benefits.

Then the year before last, in 1981, they established commune and team enterprises with the commune government as the main body, and put forward the sixteen-character policy of voluntarily joining, obeying arrangements, obeying commands, and creating glory together.

As the saying goes, great things can be accomplished by concentrating your efforts.

The same year after the establishment of their community enterprise, they set up a shrimp pond and raised broodstock. Last year, they completed the breeding and raised prawns, and achieved good results.

Wang Yi rushed to Lanshui Commune by boat and found that the situation in this commune was somewhat similar to that of Tianya Island.

Several major residential islands are dotted with old seaweed houses, but the members are high-spirited, laughing and highly motivated to work.

The shrimp pond is located on an island called Noodle Island.

This island is quite interesting. It runs in the north-south direction and is very long. There are several slender stone islands running parallel to each other. In this way, there are gaps in the sea between the stone islands, so the two ends were filled in to create shrimp ponds.

After seeing the geographical situation of Noodle Island, Wang Yi understood that it was no wonder that Blue Water Commune was able to build shrimp ponds under poor conditions. It turned out that they had unique advantages.

His visit and study trip was requested by Wang Xianghong and the leaders of Blue Water Commune. They already knew the time, so they waited for them outside the shrimp pond in advance.

Wang Xianghong was very dignified, so Lanshui Commune arranged for Zhou Mindong, the head of their commune team enterprise, to receive Wang Yi.

Wang Yi stopped the boat and shook hands with Zhou Mindong on the island, saying repeatedly, "I have admired him for a long time, I am honored to do so."

Zhou Mindong is a cadre who can do things well. He said calmly: "Teacher Wang, please don't be polite. You are giving us face by coming to our place. We deeply welcome your presence because we want to learn from you."

"

Wang Yi burst into laughter: "I came here to learn from you, why did it change to you learning from us?"

Zhou Mindong said: "Because Mr. Wang, you have led your Tianya Company to do a great job. You have developed so many mature industries in one year, and you have upgraded your Wang family production team from a backward unit to a well-off village and an advanced collective. This is certainly worth it."

We learn.”

"The leaders of our commune visited your team. When they came back, they were full of praise for your commune and team enterprise. You are so awesome. This year, you will build small buildings for every commune member. To be honest, this makes

It’s unbelievable!”

These words are true.

If Wang Yi had not had the resources of the 23rd generation, even if he was a time traveler, he would not have been able to lead the production team to achieve such earth-shaking changes.
