Wheat futures lower at 655

"Affected by this year's bumper wheat harvest, four wheat futures in Xianyang fell across the board. At the same time, it was subject to the tight transportation of the eastern line of Qin. In particular, the demand for wheat in Korea, Wei, Qi, and Chu continued to rise, as steel took up too much of the wagons. "Xianyang Express" reported.

This year in the Qin State can be described as a smooth weather. In addition, the Qin State continued to invest in agriculture. With a large amount of investment in science and technology, Qin's agriculture was bumper. In particular, the yield of wheat. It has far exceeded the production of corn. According to the calculations of the Qin State "Economic Early Know" magazine. Qin still does not have official statistics, because the government's finances are tight, and it is no longer possible to separate a special department. So up to now, the Qin State still does not have a department dedicated to statistics.

"Our wheat production has far exceeded the corn production of the past by one to two times. There are many regions where wheat is produced. The Hetao region in the north is the second largest wheat producer after the Guanzhong region in China. It is also one of the largest sources of meat in the country. ”

"Our government has invested in agriculture very thoughtfully. Arguably. Almost the finest place came to mind. Banks in our country have specialized low-interest loans. If you have produced a lot of money in the past year, you are likely to get an interest-free loan specially provided by our government. This solves the financial problem for our farmers. ”

"In terms of some agricultural infrastructure. China has more agricultural input than the six countries. This year, China has built 32 small and medium-sized reservoirs in the Jinghe and Weihe rivers, and the emergence of these reservoirs has greatly satisfied China's agricultural needs. China will also build several large reservoirs near the Yellow River loop to solve the problem of waterlogging there. "The problem of waterlogging refers to the problem of heavy rains there in the summer. Too much water is also a big problem. To this end, Shangwen allocated funds for agricultural infrastructure construction to build several large reservoirs. After the plan is finalized. It was opposed by some electrologists. They demand that local water resources be fully utilized to generate electricity. But the reality is that the water there does not flow fast enough to generate electricity. So this scheme was denied. But Shang Wen asked these power scientists to choose a new location to investigate, and the Qin State wanted to try to build small and medium-sized hydropower stations in the Yellow River Valley. It is the hydropower brought about by the abundance of agricultural facilities.

In fact, the Qin State had hydropower installations in those small reservoirs. This electricity is mainly used for use by nearby farmers and small towns. The actual appearance of the Qin State has changed a lot, and the natural villages in the Guanzhong region are rapidly disappearing, and some small towns are appearing. This phenomenon is very common in the western and northern regions. The reason was that the land of the Qin State was becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of a few. In the past year. The number of land annexed by the Qin State was much lower than before, but the amount of land annexed was very large. Often the merger occurs together, which means the birth of a large farmer with 10,000 acres of land. At the same time, several small farmers of thousands or hundreds of acres disappeared. The original village began to be depressed, eventually demolished, and finally formed a small town at a traffic confluence. This is how the Qin State changed in agriculture.

These small towns were formed mainly because of the large number of nearby farmers. Plus the farmer needs a town to meet their services. For example, various agricultural services.

The town has specialized agricultural service companies, which usually provide agricultural equipment rentals. Mostly tractors. Large trucks, fertilizer spreaders. High-quality seeds, and large irrigation equipment.

These technical hardware equipment is one of the important reasons for the bumper agricultural harvest of the Qin State.

The chemists of the Qin State invented one of the most important inventions. High-quality compound nitrogen fertilizer. It's actually our urea fertilizer. This fertilizer is made from the surplus value of coal, and it can be said that it is just a waste in itself. This means that this high-quality compound nitrogen fertilizer can be produced on a large scale. The rate of popularization is also far faster than the inventors imagined.

Due to the use of a large amount of chemical fertilizer, the wheat grows surprisingly fast, tall, and the wheat grains are very full. Behind the use of chemical fertilizers is the advanced use of irrigation technology in the Qin Kingdom.

In addition to the large-scale use of plastics on insulated wires. Another use is agriculture. Lightweight and easy to assemble. The plastic pipes were soon laid in the fields of the Qin state. It is different from the previous flood irrigation. Instead, sprinkler irrigation is used, and the plastic pipes laid will be laid in the field as a long-term investment. within a certain distance at every interval. A water pressure sprinkler is set up, which uses water pressure to rotate a small paddle to allow the water to form a better mist and spray it on the surrounding wheat. The agricultural service company specializes in laying, management, maintenance. And this cost comes from an interest-free loan from the Qin government. With this funding. Farmers can be bold with new technologies.

The fertilizer will be dissolved in advance in the pool in front of the main valve. This will give you the best results. Nutrient solutions are more conducive to crop production and absorption.

In addition to these. The Agricultural Services Corporation offers another service. That's big machinery. This was made possible by a small slave revolt in the Qin state. Because he couldn't bear the mistreatment of the farmer. In fact, it is true that the farmer is very excessive. The farmer was forced to go out of business, and the farmer who planted more received more care, interest-free loans, and excellent service. Farmers who plant less are overwhelmed by the bank's repayment bills. In order to repay the loan as soon as possible. The farmer had to speed up the pace of agricultural production, and to do so he worked day and night, regardless of the life or death of the slaves. It's that individuals can't stand such treatment. So, the slaves colluded to kill the farmer, but seemed to be too angry. They went so far as to burn down the farmer's house, which then set fire to a nearby wheat warehouse. This large amount of haystack is stacked in the warehouse for fodder from the north. Outcome. The fire alerted nearby farmers. Then the nearby police, then the garrison. The riots were suppressed before they could expand. After this incident. The king of Qin ordered all the slaves in Guanzhong to be sent to the cemetery of the king of Qin or to the Qinling Mountains in the south and the construction of the railway. Slaves will no longer be used in the Guanzhong region.

With the slave no longer in use. Farmland in Guanzhong will not be able to be cultivated on a large scale. But the Qin state's automobile industry, especially the advent of tracked tractors, made up for this shortcoming. Agricultural service companies provide staff to operate the machines. The farmer can still drink tea with peace of mind, and a tractor is equivalent to the workload of dozens of slaves. The price is also much cheaper. This is especially true for the use of leases. As a result, agricultural machinery has been developed favorably. But in other regions, a large number of slaves were still used as labor.
