A (reporter long Danmei correspondent Li Shuang) recently, when the reporter saw Gao Zhenyuan, a 50-year-old villager in Jiangdong Village, Heqian Town, Kaixian County, he had to take the reporter to see his sheep farm.

This sheep farm was built by Lao Gao who spent all his savings after working for seven years. Unlike other people in the village who raise sheep artificially, Lao Gao's sheep farm has achieved full mechanization, which makes him very proud.

When the reporter arrived at Gao Zhenyuan's sheep farm, the workers were busy cleaning the sheepfold. Gao Zhenyuan walked into a small room next to him. There is a monitor in this room, and the ninth palace grid shows a real-time picture of the sheepfold. This device is Gao Zhenyuan's digital monitoring and management system specially added to the sheep farm. Gao Zhenyuan skillfully operated the keyboard and clicked on one of the pictures, and immediately there was a scene of an ewe gently licking the newborn lamb.

Gao Zhenyuan told reporters that ewes who just gave birth are easily frightened and often trample to death lambs. Using this set of monitoring and management system to "monitor" ewes at all times can ensure "safety between mother and son."

Is saying, the monitoring room suddenly sounded "beep" and "beep" sound, the reporter saw from the monitor, above the sheepfold began to emit a stream of "smoke". It turns out that this is an automatic disinfector installed in the sheepfold, spraying disinfectant regularly on the sheepfold.

Walking around the sheep farm, the reporter found that every room in the farm was equipped with a loudspeaker in addition to a camera. Lao Gao could arrange work for workers as long as he pressed the broadcast button in the monitoring room, plus automatic disinfector, feed processing machine, and so on. No wonder Lao Gao opened his mouth and shut up is "mechanization."

"he raised a sheep and spent all his working money." Villager Liu Yuanfu told the reporter quietly: "everyone says he is stupid!"

So, is Gao really stupid? "although the investment in mechanization is high, a lot of labor costs have been saved." Lao Gao said that after returning home from a part-time job last year, Gao Xiaowu spent all the more than 100,000 yuan saved by working for seven years on buying mechanized equipment, but he still had to save a lot of money by doing the math carefully. For example, there are 500 sheep in the farm, and according to the traditional model, eight people should be invited, each of whom is 1200 yuan per month, and the salary alone is 115200 yuan a year, but after mechanized operation, only four people can maintain the operation of the sheep farm, so that half of the annual labor cost can be saved.

On May 1 this year, Gao Zhenyuan just sold 100 sheep of the first crop, with a net profit of 15000 yuan. Instead of depositing the 15000 yuan in the bank, he transferred the land and started a red kiwifruit and grape industry in the village. Lao Gao is very good at abacus, because in this way, he has a place to go for his sheep dung.
