"Have you heard? As long as we plant wheat seeds in the field, we can harvest four or five stones of wheat per acre. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Farmer A to Farmer B. (Stone is a unit of volume, for example, a stone meter weighs about 125 catties)

Farmer B: "How is it possible to harvest four or five stones of wheat in one acre of land?" As far as we break the ground, it would be good to harvest one and a half stones per acre. ”

Farmer A: "It's true, this kind of wheat is planted in Linyue County, and I heard that the highest acre harvests more than seven stones of wheat, this is my second uncle in Linyue County who sent me a letter to ask me to hurry up and get the seeds, will you go?" ”

Farmer B: "Why don't you go about such a pie in the world, you wait a minute, I'll go home and get a pocket for seeds." ”

Farmer A: "By the way, don't forget to bring your family's household registration book, if you don't have a household registration book, the official will not send you seeds." ”

"I see." Farmer B, who had already run more than ten meters, turned around and shouted.

Farmers A and B then happily went to the town to collect the wheat seeds.

This was a scene that happened in a rural village in Ningyuan City in mid-October 1883, and it was indeed as farmer A said, the town government distributed high-yield wheat seeds to farmers, but it was not free, and the wheat seeds were not paid, but after the wheat was harvested, the cost of wheat seeds would be added to the original tax of 10%.

In any case, the peasants have earned, and they can get high-yield wheat seeds without spending money, and the cost is only 20 percent of the harvest, 30 percent of the grain is handed over, and the remaining 70 percent of the grain is their own, which is at least double the amount of grain they can get in previous years, and the family finally does not have to worry about starving anymore.

How do high yielding wheat seeds come about?

The answer is very simple, it is produced by the seed cultivation base of Yuanhe City, more precisely, under the leadership of Feng Qingshan (Yan Xueyi's first batch of graduates) and Song Mingzhe (Yan Xueyi's second batch of graduates), the Yuanhe City seed cultivation base was established and cultivated.

Feng Qingshan and Song Mingzhe are ordinary peasant children and tenant children, and they have experienced many days of not having enough to eat when they were children, if it weren't for their home in Yanjiabao and the help of the Yan family, maybe they would have starved to death.

As they grew up, Feng Qingshan and Song Mingzhe both had an idea in their hearts, if more food grew in the field, would the family not starve?

With this idea, in the process of Yan Xueyi's education and guidance, Feng Qingshan and Song Mingzhe learned about "biological genetics", and later through the books given to them by Yan Xueyi, the two had a deeper understanding of "biological genetics", so that they knew how to make a piece of land produce more food, that is, to cultivate high-yield seeds.

After the two left their educational positions, Yuanhe City added a seed cultivation base, and then more people with the same idea joined this seed cultivation base.

The first kind of high-yield wheat seeds were born four years later, intensive cultivation, the highest yield of eight stone wheat per acre, and then this wheat was cultivated in a small area in Linyue County, but in order to prevent the outside world, especially foreign forces, from knowing this high-yield wheat, the planting area of high-yield wheat has not expanded much, until Siqi Province was ruled by the Yan regime, Yan Xueyi ordered the promotion of high-yield wheat seeds, at the same time, other high-yield seeds produced by the seed cultivation base were also promoted, and the seeds were taken free of charge. A model that waits until the harvest to pay 20% of the harvest seed fee.

It didn't take long for nearly one-fifth of the arable land in Siqi Province to be planted with all kinds of high-yielding seeds.

However, in a short period of time, the high-yield seed production of the Yuanhe Seed Cultivation Base can only supply such a large area, and in order to plant all the agricultural land in Siqi Province with high-yield seeds, it is necessary to expand the number of high-yield seeds.

After Yan Xueyi was officially proclaimed queen, Yan Xueyi used the current development situation of Siqi Province to simulate it with a quantum computer in his portable space to produce a "Five-Year Development Plan for Siqi Province" to determine how the province will develop in the next five years.

When a thick copy of the "Five-Year Development Plan for Siqi Province" was handed over to Premier Yan Xuecai, Yan Xuecai was completely stunned.

"The king is really an extraordinary person!" Yan Xuecai browsed the "Five-Year Development Plan of Siqi Province" and felt such a sigh in his heart.

Soon, a large number of copies of the "Five-Year Development Plan for the Four Provinces" were made, and the cabinet members carefully read the "Five-Year Development Plan for the Four Provinces," and then, under the command of Premier Yan Xuecai, began to carry out the tasks in the "Five-Year Development Plan for the Four Provinces."

Among them, the "Five-Year Development Plan for Siqi Province" has a special agricultural chapter, which writes about the agricultural plan of Siqi Province in the next five years:

In addition to the seed cultivation base in Yuanhe City, it is necessary to establish five extra-large seed cultivation bases in Siqi Province, so that the various seeds cultivated in the six seed cultivation bases can meet the needs of the entire Siqi Province.

At present, the cultivated land area of Siqi Province is 45 million mu (the land distribution for the landless people was a bit much, which has been changed), and the grain produced is only barely enough to meet the needs of more than 40 million people in Siqi Province, and you must know that the cultivated land area of Siqi Province in later generations is as high as 100 million mu, so Yan Xueyi clearly wrote in the agricultural chapter that every year in the future, Siqi Province will open up wasteland, increase at least 2 million mu of cultivated land, and five years will be 10 million mu of cultivated land.

There is another reason that affects the grain yield of cultivated land, that is, the fertility or nutrition of the land is not enough, resulting in a decrease in crop yield, and the solution is also very simple, using chemical fertilizers.

There is a fertilizer factory in Yuanhe City, but when the fertilizer factory was first established to produce fertilizer, no one bought and used fertilizer, after all, ordinary people did not have much money in their hands, and how to buy fertilizer did not know the effect.

It wasn't until the land under the name of the Yan clan was used to obtain higher yields that some people tried to buy and use fertilizer, and then fertilizer was expanded in Linyue County and surrounding counties.

Yan Xueyi clearly wrote in the plan that large-scale fertilizer factories will be established in various cities in Siqi Province to produce enough chemical fertilizer to meet the use of cultivated land in the province, which will also greatly increase the crop yield in Siqi Province.

In short, five years later, Yan Xueyi expected that the yield of crops in Siqi Province would be more than 1.5 times that of 1883.

In addition, there are a large number of high-quality and inexpensive iron ploughing tools for sale, the purpose is to let the people improve production efficiency, can not waste too much time on a piece of land, so how to open up wasteland?
