The Rich Classic of Peasant Ma Wentao

Over the past few days, Ma Wentao, a farmer in Heishan Village, has been observing the growth of Radix Paeoniae Rubra every day in his planting field of Radix Paeoniae Rubra. Rows of green seedlings of Radix Paeoniae Rubra make up a landscape painting with the mountains and forests in September.

Adjusting the planting structure and taking the lead in reading out the "northern medicine" planting to become rich has always been the dream of farmers Ma Wentao to increase income and become rich. In order to achieve this dream, Ma Wentao has been traveling north and south these years, but he has no less desire to increase his income. Last year, after Ma Wentao learned the technology of planting red peony in Tahe County, he joined with seven farmers in the village to plant more than 200 mu of red peony on the land that has been growing Chinese cabbage and potatoes all the year round. After a year of careful field management, the emergence rate and survival rate reached 96%. Looking at the red peony that can be harvested in another three years, Ma Wentao excitedly calculated an account for the reporter to increase his income and become rich.

He said: "Radix Paeoniae Rubra is a perennial medicine, and now the market price is relatively good, and the price is rising almost every year. At first, it was 5 yuan per jin, and the income per mu of land was more than 30,000 yuan. Now it is close to 30 yuan. When planting potatoes and Chinese cabbage, the annual full income of one mu of land is 4000 yuan, while the minimum income of planting red peony per mu in four years is more than 80,000 yuan, which is five times that of growing potatoes and Chinese cabbage. "

The astronomical figure of 80,000 yuan per mu of land was unimaginable by farmers before. However, Ma Wentao broke the stubborn thinking of the farmers and made them realize that the original northern medicine could also make the family rich. With this understanding, Ma Wentao has strengthened his confidence and determination in the transformation of agricultural planting structure. Ma Wentao told reporters: "at present, the output of a tree of Radix Paeoniae Rubra can reach about 30 yuan, and this investment is not high. Now the investment per mu of land has reached 700 to 800 yuan. Coupled with pastoral management, it is only 2000 yuan per mu of land, and four years later, the income will be nearly 90,000 yuan.

It is Ma Wentao's dream to take the lead in adjusting the agricultural planting structure. Through practice, he has set his sights on the broad market for the development of Beijing medicine. In Heishan Village, the 70-year-old Tang Gexin planted red peony in the vegetable garden of more than 2 mu in front of his house. He talked to him about the idea of planting northern medicine, and the old man was deeply impressed. "planting peony can save time and benefit. For example, my two mu of land will cost more than 100,000 yuan in five years, which is not only better than growing vegetables, but also saves labor. With the time saved, we can do something else and earn some pocket money."

In Heishan village, in the patches of red peony, the red peony, which is more than 20 centimeters high, is green. Ma Wentao told the reporter happily that two years later, more than 200 mu of red peony can increase the output value of growers by more than 1000 yuan, and each grower has an average income of more than 1 million yuan.
