At that time, this plan was opposed by conservatives. Some people say that they have never heard of it since ancient times. It is really nonsense to engage in 60,000 Jin now. Some people say that our place is backward and poor, so you can't fly. An old peasant association was held and broke up in discord. Comrade Li was too anxious to sleep. What should I do? Retreat? No, it's already midnight. She invited four old farmers to discuss it for more than two hours, but everyone still couldn't come up with an idea. Just when everyone was upset, the old farmer Zhao suddenly remembered the story of how rice seedlings were pulled out more than 20 years ago. It turned out that more than 20 years ago, forced by life, he moved the sprouted seedlings from the tenant's two acres of land to his five acres of land several times, resulting in a yield of 3400 Jin per mu. He said: "Now we want to produce 5000 Jin per mu. If you combine 12 mu into one mu, it will be 60,000 Jin. " His suggestion won everyone's approval at once, and the party branch also supported them. However, when it was implemented in township cadres and party member, some people doubted and opposed it, thinking that transplantation was uncertain and wasted labor. After the debate, most people got through, so they decided: first, merge twelve acres into one acre; 2. Re-cultivate the satellite field by one foot and five inches, and rake it; Third, increase fertilizer and implement layered fertilization; Fourth, use the night to grab seeds; Five, transplanting rice fields engaged in late rice direct seeding or planting sweet potatoes.
However, when the decision was handed over to the masses for discussion, some people still disagreed. Some say that the seedlings will definitely turn white after transplanting just after heading. Others say that it will kill seedlings, which is not worth the effort. The next day, the experimental field was set up, and some people did not go out to work, but only stopped after dividing the field. However, two days after transplanting, the seedlings grew well, and the district production inspection team estimated that the two plots could produce 11 thousand Jin, and the masses changed their views. The branch also seized this opportunity to educate them on the general line and called on them to strive for the upper reaches, thus mobilizing the enthusiasm of the masses, and everyone was determined to strive for the first place in the country. At the same time, it was decided to choose another plot with one acre and three points as the experimental field.
On the evening of August 2, more than 800 people in the whole society formed three brigades, plowing, pulling out seedlings and transporting fertilizer, and raided overnight. Twelve people plowed the land, and a foot and a half inches were plowed. More than 200 people are constantly transporting base fertilizer. Members of the seedling pulling group carefully dug out the seedlings with a foot plow and transplanted them in a cool place. The next night, the whole society concentrated on raiding all night and ended the transplant work. After transplanting, the Party branch sent six people to take care of the transplanting. Because of the dense ventilation, there is no sunlight, the leaves are hot and yellow, and some stalks begin to become moldy and black. They sent people to fan the seedlings with bamboo hats day and night, but the problem has not been solved. In order to find a cure, Li, Wu Caifan and Tan, who are in charge of managing the experimental field, stayed at the edge of the field for four nights. On the fourth night, they found that where the existing water flowed, the seedlings were green, and where there was no water, the seedlings turned yellow. After careful study, the three men decided to adopt the methods of drainage during the day and irrigation at night to reduce the field temperature. After three days, the seedlings turned completely green. However, due to the uneven field, there was no water irrigation at the height, especially in the late drought, and the seedlings turned yellow again. After several studies, Li, Luo Kezheng and others were inspired by Ji Guiming, deputy secretary of the county party committee. They changed the sprayer into a blower, and the wind blew into the valley through a perforated bamboo tube inserted in the ground. 12 people take turns blowing air day and night, stirring the ears of grain with bamboo pieces once or twice a day, so that the seedlings can get enough sunshine and accelerate the yellowing of the seedlings. There are also difficulties in fertilization. Fertilizer and plant ash can't be put in, and human excrement is released, and there are dregs on the leaves of crops. But they also figured out a way to fertilize outside the roots. When applying chemical fertilizers or human and animal excrements in plant ash, they are all mixed with water, filtered with gauze and sprayed with watering pots and bamboo tubes. Do it once a day six days before transplantation and every two or three days after transplantation until it turns yellow. In order to prevent lodging, when transplanting, they put a lot of wooden rammers around the field and in the middle of the field, and also set up a bamboo frame, so that the seedlings can be tightly attached to the frame and will not fall down. After long-term efforts, the rice in the experimental field finally matured, and thick ears of grain piled up in the ground. During the ripening of yellow rice, people from hometown and other places come to visit it every day. They always have to touch and have a look carefully.

It can be seen that rice is transplanted and the yield is exaggerated.
