Chapter 104: Promotion of Eating Problems (6)
After returning from the experimental farm in Jiangbei, Levi led the Minister of Agriculture and several secretaries of the Confidant Party Committee back the next day to visit. This time, I drove an eight-seater bus, so the staff asked the secretaries to make other cars by themselves, and they began to discuss it in the car.
Based on the data, the Minister of Agriculture said excitedly: "Now China does not count the East African administrative regions, and the three places in China, Asia, the South China Sea, and North America, together have a total cultivated land area of more than 3 billion mu. About four acres of land per capita. Moreover, there are at least 1 billion mu of land in the country that are used for two seasons a year, and according to this harvest, there is no pressure at all to feed two billion people. Not to mention, now 800 million people are counted as women farming, and the real agricultural labor force does not exceed 300 million. The population that actually farms the land has 10 acres of land per capita. It's about 8,000 to 10,000 catties per capita a year......"
Speaking of which, several ministers were a little at a loss, and the Minister of Agriculture himself couldn't go on. There is no need to calculate according to 10 acres, but according to 4 acres per capita, one person is 3,200 catties of grain a year. This yield is eaten at the level of death, and one person cannot eat so much food in a year. Not to mention that a considerable amount of land has not been planned as cultivated land in the first place, but is used as agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry land. For example, in Zhenjiang, Jinhua, Wuhu and Hefei in the Yangtze River urban agglomeration, there are breeding farms covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, and the high-quality livestock in the breeding farms eat high-quality pasture from East Africa. Milk, meat, eggs, and a large amount of organic fertilizer are continuously delivered to other regions.
Several animal husbandry centers in the Yangtze River basin are the classic achievements of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Minister of Agriculture said smugly: "Now the farming in those agricultural areas is only a sideline, and the animal husbandry industry and the industrial chain relying on the animal husbandry industry are the main business." A large part of the reason for farming there is also to avoid the manure of the livestock, and to consume these things as soon as possible. Let's find good earthworms from all over the world, and the earthworms in that damn place in Japan are really good......"
At this point, the Minister of Health laughed, "Japan's flower skin mosquitoes are also good. ”
The other ministers were delighted by the conversation. That part of Japan seems barren enough in China, the so-called poor mountains and remote areas are out of the people, and the earthworms in Japan are big, not picky eaters, eat a lot, and grow fast. In contrast, Chinese earthworms are much more squeamish, and many Chinese earthworms cannot survive in a high-concentration livestock manure environment, while Japanese earthworms are alive and well. Of course, Japan's flower skin mosquito is the pinnacle of Diaomin. Chinese mosquitoes don't bite people through clothes, and Japanese mosquitoes are silent, and they bite through thick clothes. It flies fast, is agile, and is very difficult to kill on an empty stomach. Mosquitoes in China are at most an abominable level, and the flower skin mosquitoes are simply hateful. Of course, the people of the whole country have not encountered this problem for the time being, and the mosquito infested places in Japan are mainly in areas with developed commercial trade with Japan, and Nanjing is undoubtedly a very priority.
Levi laughed twice, and then said: "Chemical fertilizer is a technology developed by the order of the governor, and this promotion is inevitable. How to promote and how to invest funds will be discussed in the industrial sector in the future. Let's assume that in a situation where fertilizer has become the norm, China has entered a situation where absolute grain production exceeds demand. ”
"Actually, it has now been exceeded, and we thought it was a whim for the governor to order the transport of pasture from that ghost part of East Africa to the country, but the supply of meat has risen to a level where there is pressure to suppress agricultural products in coastal cities," said Minister of Agriculture. In the early years, we advertised that we wanted to let those farmers use pasture, but they did not agree. Now they are crying and shouting for more forage supplies. And their willingness to sell is stronger than we thought. ”
The ministers were very impressed when they mentioned Wei Ze, because Wei Ze was always able to come up with a lot of practices that seemed to be in the market. Just like when it was difficult to promote pasture, Wei Ze ordered that "people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." Let's settle accounts with the farmers openly and compare them with them for three years. ”
His Majesty the Emperor Wei Ze spoke, and of course the people below had to carry it out. And this method is not shocking, it is not difficult, and it is very easy to execute. Farmers feel that the cost of buying pasture is high, and they have a lot of straw at home, and if they go out to cut some grass, the cattle will eat it. As for concentrate feed, it is now possible to give some to cattle as well.
When the state-run ranch invited the farmers to participate in the comparison work, many farmers were resistant. But facts speak louder than words, and cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens that eat grass not only grow fast, but also don't get sick much. Looking at the coat color, looking at the posture, and the speed of growing meat, they are much better than the livestock raised by the farmer's feed formula. When the cattle are killed, the quantity and quality of the meat are much better.
The most important step is to settle accounts, only compare quantity, not quality, and the livestock that use pasture does not have a particularly obvious advantage. The problem is that after using pasture, it is possible to raise more than twice as many animals each year after the labor time spent collecting and feeding feed locally is saved. The time savings are insignificant.
Without comparison, without explanation, without facts, it is more difficult to get the peasants to spend more money on input than to kill them. After a comparison, some farmers took the lead. Within two years, the demand for forage had increased by leaps and bounds, and it had the meaning of breaking through the sky. In recent years, the production of leather and bone china has increased, and the utilization rate of livestock has become higher and higher. In the past two years, not only forage has been bought, but farmers involved in the breeding industry have even begun to buy green fodder. So it's hard to define these people involved in the program in terms of farmers, who now also farm, but farming is probably a habitual continuation of the old way of life. The people of these areas do not depend on farming for food.
The level of productivity increases, the per capita labor productivity increases, the output per unit of labor time increases, and the cost per unit of product falls under the condition that the cost remains unchanged, and the price reduction sales become a trend. In the case of a general increase in wages in domestic cities, meat prices have not risen, and there is a slight downward trend.
The recalcitrant peasants lacked nowhere to go, but the bureaucracy was not a masochist. Unwilling to follow suit, the bureaucracy had to let the peasants who adhered to tradition go their own way. Anyway, the production of meat has come up, the price of meat is not high, and their work has been done. Those who insist on their own views can't compare to others in breeding, so let's ask for more blessings.
The abundance of meat has not only reduced food consumption, but has also led to a major divide between those who can keep up with the situation and those who cannot. In the same region, the gap between rich and poor is widening at an alarming rate. Especially in the Yangtze River basin, the water network is dense and the transportation capacity is sufficient. Whether or not you can earn the same amount of money in two or three years is enough to make a terrible difference in your whole life. Those farmers who can keep up with the situation have not only expanded their own breeding scale, but they can even buy cars, boats, tractors, and engage in transportation. This is immediately another new income.
Agricultural lenders are also more willing to nurture them. Take the initiative to learn, speak appropriately, flatter in place, have sufficient collateral, and the smart and clever rich do not support them. Do you ask grandpa to find those poor people who are suspicious of everything, shrewd in their little abacus, and want to take advantage of everything? Save it! Comrades in the banking sector are decent people, and no one wants to ask for trouble.
Of course, this is also a fierce conflict between ministries and provinces, governments, counties, and districts. Ministries and commissions represent state-owned enterprises, and many of the people they work with pay taxes into the national tax. These smart people cling to the thighs of the state, and it is impossible for the state-owned capital system to ignore them. And those peasant households that have been screened out by state-owned capital are the main force of local tax revenue. They don't have much money in the first place, and local taxes can't be collected to the death, and the contradiction between national taxes and local taxes is becoming more and more intense.
Many eastern and western ministries understand it and know it very well. However, from the standpoint of the ministries and commissions, Lao Tzu (Lao Niang) closely followed the leadership of the governor and built the country wholeheartedly, and with the efforts of Lao Tzu (Lao Niang), the state-owned assets operated well, helping a large number of people get rid of poverty and become rich. The fact that the excellent results of the ministry is not greatly appreciated is already in defiance. As for the practice of lashing out at the ministries, this is simply unreasonable!
Just when the leaders of the ministries and Prime Minister Levi began to discuss daily issues and criticize the provinces, they saw vans, cars, and trucks speeding past on the opposite lane. Sweeping the eyes, there are license plates of the local government and military license plates inside. The ministries and commissions looked at each other, and it seemed that the local government, with those veterans as the core, was also very well informed.
Ruan Xihao and Hu Chenghe were the leaders, and a group of local leaders followed. After taking a turn in the half-harvested experimental field, Ruan Xihao patted Wei Zhen on the shoulder, "Boy, good job!" Your father taught you well. ”
Wei Zhen was almost 180 tall, and he smiled at Ruan Xihao, who was 165 tall, "Uncle Ruan has won the award." Ruan Lin's grades in school have always been much better than mine. ”
Ruan Lin is Ruan Xihao's beloved son and a top student. However, after graduating, he went to work in the Ministry of Finance, and in terms of rank, he was probably above the brothers Wei Zhen and Wei Kun, who worked in the scientific research department.
Ruan Xihao waved his hand, "He's just a fool, where can you be on your own." ”
Wei Zhen is actually not close to Ruan Xihao, Wei Changrong is his cousin, and Levi is his cousin. From far and near, and in terms of blood, this is the real relative. However, Wei Zhen naturally won't show it, in case he says something wrong, don't let his father Wei Ze know, he is not afraid of defeat, what he is afraid of is that ideological education. If you touch the body, you will recover in a while, and if you touch the soul, the pain will last for a long time.
Ruan Xihao patted Wei Zhen on the shoulder again, "Wei Zhen, you kid is so capable, do you want to come to work in the local area." Although your uncle and I are not from the Ministry of Personnel, I can't make a wish to you as an official. But as long as you agree, you will definitely be the focus of training in the local area! Don't bother with your father, your uncle and I will definitely take care of you! ”
Wei Zhen was a little fluttering in his heart when Ruan Xihao said this, but after all, he was Wei Ze's son and Wei Ze's student. Wei Zhen knew very well how much crucial support he and his brother Wei Kun had received from his father Wei Ze, relying on the two of them alone, let alone being in their twenties, even in another ten years, they would not be able to come up with these theories and ideas.
Getting rid of the shadow of Daddy's wings and flying freely in the world with his own power is the desire of all boys. However, Wei Zhen knew how much his father's wings could cover. This does not refer to Weese's power, but to a deep understanding of Weese's abilities. At least now, the moment I got rid of my dad also means that there will never be a chance to be as shocking as now. Wei Zhen is very clear about this truth.
"Honestly" smiled, Wei Zhen replied: "Uncle Ruan, I have to listen to my father's arrangement for this matter. ”
