The "seeder" of science and technology rooted in mountains and villages

On June 15, Wang Ziqiang came to Taishun again. This time, his task is to work with a group of experts to investigate and solve the problems encountered in the development of Taishun tea industry.

I can't count how many times Wang Ziqiang has come to Taishun. Over the past 11 years, regardless of county leaders, township cadres, and people in mountainous areas, when they talk about "Lao Wang," a science and technology commissioner and professor from Zhejiang University, they will call him a nickname: "God of Technology and Wealth."

Xia Keying, deputy director of the Taishun County Science and Technology Bureau, said that Wang Ziqiang is the most "special" of the ombudsmen and has been stationed in Taishun for the longest time. Since 2005, he will uninterruptedly carry newly cultivated crop seeds and bring much-needed technical teams in the mountain areas. On the road of scientific and technological help.

Farmers who "fraternize" with Wang Ziqiang say that Lao Wang is a veritable "god of wealth of science and technology". He will perform "green magic" and appreciate miraculously through his hands, no matter what variety.

Zhang Hongguo, secretary of the Taishun County CPC Committee, told reporters, "money support, material support, it is best to have a science and technology commissioner." This mantra spread among the people in Taishun mountain area is precisely the ardent expectation of the people for a science and technology commissioner like Wang Ziqiang. With their own practice at the grass-roots level and rooted in the countryside, the science and technology commissioners have opened a "window of science and technology" for the mountain areas to shake off poverty and become rich.

"over the past 11 years, he has not only brought us new varieties, but also regarded himself as a 'mountain man' and regarded us as his own family."

Wang Ziqiang in the eyes of the common people

"this is a purple potato from Taiwan, this is a Japanese purple potato, and over there is purple rice." Pointing to the vibrant mountain countryside, Peng Zuosheng, an agricultural technician in the Wanpai community of Shiyang Town, is like a treasure. This piece of land is an experimental field for more than 160 varieties of crops brought by Wang Ziqiang.

"in particular, 'Chestnut sweet potato' not only has a high flour yield, but also contains enough sugar and tastes sticky." Peng Zuosheng said that using its starch to make sweet potato vermicelli cost 6 yuan a jin the year before last and sold for 7.4 yuan last year. Many villagers make a net profit of more than 2000 yuan per mu on this. With these seeds, Peng Zuosheng gave a bunch of "likes" to Wang Ziqiang.

In the spring of 2005, Peng Zuosheng met Wang Ziqiang for the first time in the government conference room of Wanpai Township. This is a professor of Zhejiang University who has just returned from the Ningxia Science and Technology Department. After the simple meeting, Wang Ziqiang took Peng Zuosheng's hand and said, "go and have a look around the field."

In the rice field of Shangpai village, Wang Ziqiang rolled up his trouser legs without saying a word. In a field, he grabbed a handful of soil and kneaded it and introduced the matters needing attention to fertilize the farm to the farmer who stopped the hoe. On his first trip to Wanpai, Wang Ziqiang spent 10 days visiting all five administrative villages and seven natural villages in Wanpai Township at that time.

Because Zhejiang University had a teaching task, Wang Ziqiang then returned to Hangzhou. Peng Zuosheng and some farmers also muttered to themselves: "I have been two science and technology commissioners in the past two years, and they have not been here for a long time. Will this professor also be a passer-by?"

Unexpectedly, less than a month later, Wang Ziqiang came again. This time he took large bags with him, bulging bags containing newly cultivated vegetables, sweet potatoes, rice and other seeds.

At that time, it took more than 7 hours by bus from Hangzhou to Wanpai. Wang Ziqiang went into the mountain again and again with the newly cultivated seeds and went out of the mountain with the needs of the villagers. Later, Wang Ziqiang drove over by himself, and the trunk and back seats were all seeds for farmers.

"this time we brought potato seeds." "this is a new variety at the Southeast Asian academic Exchange, and it can be planted in the village."... From the initial surprise, people gradually become accustomed to it, and the familiar title "Lao Wang" also begins to appear in the mouths of thousands of people.

"now, there are 67 varieties of kidney beans, 30 varieties of vegetables, 8 varieties of rice, 4 varieties of sweet potatoes, 5 varieties of corn and 3 varieties of potatoes in the village." Peng Zuosheng laments that when Wang Ziqiang moved the laboratory to Wanpai at one time, he himself has become a "mountain man", while in his mind, Wanpai people are "their own family."

"I studied agronomy, and what I grew up in the field had something to do with my major." Wang Ziqiang said: in the mountains, you can feel the simplicity of the people, and of course, you can also give full play to your skills.

"he is our 'God of Technology and Wealth'. Wherever he takes his knowledge, the villagers will be rich."

Wang Ziqiang in the eyes of the boss of an enterprise

"sudden", after the beginning of summer in the ten thousand rows of tea garden, the tea picker broke the original stillness. Wanpai, which has been planted on a large scale for decades, was not welcomed by tea farmers because of its high labor costs and low market prices. Now, a couple operating a tea picker can produce nearly 2000 jin of fresh leaves a day.

It is "Lao Wang" who liberates the productive forces.

Xie Xiehe, who is now the general manager of Tailong Tea Co., Ltd., contracted 1200 mu of tea garden and an old tea processing plant in the village as early as 2003.

However, as labor costs are getting higher and higher, the profits of tea gardens have been seriously compressed, and enterprises once fell into losses.

After some investigation, Wang Ziqiang suggested that Xie Xiaohe introduce mechanical picking, and scientifically transform the distance between tea trees and the channel setting of the tea garden in order to meet the requirements of mechanized operation. Soon, the model of fine production of high-quality tea and machine harvesting of summer and autumn tea was promoted in enterprises and ten thousand platoons. At the same time, Wang Ziqiang also helped Xie Xie and select new tea varieties, among which Zhongcha 108 could better avoid the early and late frost in the mountain area, and quickly became one of the varieties promoted by tea farmers in the mountain area.

With the injection of science and technology, the mode of production of ten thousand rows of tea has been changed, and the varieties have been improved. The processed spring tea has jumped from the original 70 to 80 yuan per jin to hundreds of yuan per jin.

Li Yuanzhong, deputy mayor of Shiyang Town, told reporters that now excluding tea, sweet potato pollution-free cultivation bases, rice fields, fish farming and other industries have formed a very good supplement to the tea industry, thus increasing farmers' income. Last year, the per capita net income of 10,000 rows of farmers ranked first among the eight communities in Shiyang Town.

After Wang Ziqiang was "famous" in Wanpai and became the head of the liaison group of Taishun County Science and Technology Commissioner, his "job" also stepped out of the region.

One day in 2013, Xie Enjiu, general manager of the Tailong vegetable and Fruit Cooperative, told Wang Ziqiang that he wanted to promote Taishun's delicious wild vegetables to the whole country, but suffered from the lack of rapid propagation technology. After hearing this, Wang Ziqiang immediately recommended the tissue culture technique to him. With his help, Xie Enjiu began the preliminary experiment of tissue culture: "maybe soon, wild vegetables from Taishun will be eaten all over the country." Shane said expectantly.

In Siqian Town, Yan Lichao, head of the Taishun hundred Flower Bee Professional Cooperative, worried that he could not figure out the way to breed bees. When Wang Ziqiang learned that, he came to his door to help Yan Lichao pass the QS certification and jointly developed a new type of beehive to increase the efficiency of honey collection by four times. In view of the difficult problem of bee breeding, Lao Wang invited Su Songkun, an expert in beekeeping from Zhejiang University, and finally succeeded in breaking the problem. Today, in addition to Yan Lichao, the more than 100 members and farmers in the cooperative have also benefited a lot.

Wang Ziqiang took Wanpai as his "old base area" and gradually spread his footprints to all villages and towns in Taishun.

"Taishun is poor, poor and short of talents. Lao Wang not only dedicates his own skills, but also 'sets up' a team of experts for us."

Wang Ziqiang in the eyes of cadres

Wang Ziqiang has academic expertise, but it is impossible for him to do everything. But when it comes to the problem of "crossing the border", he never says "no", but leaves a promise to farmers every time: "next time, I will invite other experts to solve this problem."
