Chapter 61: Autumn Harvest!

Since the system is so graded, Xia Jun is naturally a 10,000-ton cargo ship that can be exchanged for 300,000 points, after all, 10,000 tons is more cost-effective than two 5,000-ton ships.

The cargo ship is still relatively cost-effective, 300,000 points for a 10,000-ton cargo ship is indeed not too expensive, the main reason is that Xia Jun is exchanging for a cargo ship of this era, not beyond the times.

So Xia Jun exchanged for 5 10,000-ton cargo ships and spent 1.5 million points.

Immediately, Xia Jun sent a telegram to Chen Jiayi in the United States, asking him to set up a transportation company and find a way to get a few license plates, and in the future, these cargo ships will directly hang up the American license plates.

With U.S. licenses, these ships have very favorable tariffs when they enter Chinese ports.

Five cargo ships stopped at the wharf, and Xia Jun sent a company to garrison at the wharf, and then returned to Jian'an.

"Husband, the raw materials we bought have been shipped to Fuzhou." Li Shijing saw Xia Jun coming back, and hurriedly said to him.

"What's here?" Xia Jun asked.

"10,000 tons of cotton, 20,000 tons of iron ore, and some other chemical materials, I have asked the transport team to transport them." Li Shijing said.

"Hmmm! The steel mill must start immediately. Xia Jun nodded, hugged Li Shijing's waist, and said softly: "Madame has worked hard." ”

"Don't get tired." Li Shijing stretched out her hand and gently helped Xia Jun wipe the sweat on her forehead.

……

Due to the large number of raw materials transported, Xia Jun asked the transportation company to send tractors to transport, while buying a machine and a ship, the channel of Jianxi will be navigable in two days, and the 30-ton machine and ship must be in place.

This kind of 30-ton machine ship is extremely cheap, this kind of thing is not more technical than a car, just a diesel engine, a propeller in the back, and a rudder is OK.

A ship with a displacement of 30 tons can be purchased with only 100 points, which is very discounted, and Xia Jun has already redeemed more than a dozen boatmen for training for those boatmen before.

Now that the waterway is about to be opened, Xia Jun exchanged 500 ships for him in one go, and only spent 50,000 points, and it is really cost-effective to use river transportation.

At this time, because of the construction of the dam, the water level of Jianxi has risen a lot, and it will be navigable in two days, while the hydropower station will not be built so quickly, and it will take half a month to do it.

In addition to sending tractors to transport them, the raw materials were first stored in warehouses in Fuzhou, and then transported by these machines and ships when the river was built.

Sailors are needed for shipping, Xia Jun sent people to Fuzhou, Xiamen and other cities to post notices on the same day, Fujian is a coastal province, and the number of seafarers is the largest among all provinces in China, so Xia Jun is not worried about not being able to recruit sailors.

……

The autumn harvest came as scheduled, and the people of northwest Fujian were undoubtedly the happiest in this year's autumn harvest, because their paddy fields were planted with high-yield rice.

These high-yielding rice grow very luxuriantly, especially after the chemical fertilizer, it can be said that it grows luxuriantly, the rice ears grow differently from other rice, other rice only grows rice at the upper end of the rice ear, and the high-yield rice issued by the security group can still grow rice in the middle end.

This year's harvest was very different, this year the security regiment issued threshing machines, and at the same time, the autonomous councils of the townships set up transport teams to start harvesting the paddy, and the transport teams of the autonomous councils came to transport the rice for them free of charge.

Not only have the production tools improved, but also there is no need to pay taxes, as long as you pay 200 catties of rice, you can go up, as long as this high-yield rice is planted carefully, it is the least to harvest 1,400 catties per acre, and there are 1,200 catties to pay 200 catties, which is more than double the previous increase.

The people's support for the security group has come from the bottom of their bones at this time, and whoever dares to speak ill of the security group will definitely be in a hurry.

However, the problem soon came, and the grain merchants who came to northwest Fujian to buy grain saw that there was so much grain output in northwest Fujian this year, and they lowered the purchase price one after another.

The purchase price of one stone of rice was reduced to one silver dollar.

After Lin Debao reported this problem to Xia Jun, Xia Jun thought for a while and said: "Since those grain merchants want to lower the price, then we will do this business ourselves, you go and tell the people that we will harvest five pieces of rice for one stone, but we have to make a strip first." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lin Debao hurriedly ran out.

As soon as Lin Debao went out, the phone rang, Xia Jun picked up the phone, "What's the matter?" ”

"Leader, the trade team has sent a telegram, and they have found a failed shipping company in San Francisco, USA, which has five 7,000-ton cargo ships, and the other party has offered $3 million."

"When they go back and they think they can, they buy the company." Xia Jun said directly, then hung up the phone, and then called Li Shengguo's kid.

"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" Li Shengguo hurriedly asked after receiving Xia Jun's call.

"Don't call me brother-in-law when you're working, how many times have I told you." Xia Jun reprimanded Li Shengguo, and Li Shengguo hurriedly agreed.

"How much money can the bank withdraw now?" Xia Jun asked.

"About three million silver dollars! However, in a few days, there will be more, and the banks in Fuzhou and Xiamen are doing very well. Li Shengguo said.

It's time to hit the list! Brilliant brothers! Are there still tickets?
