Chapter 51 Land and Population (5)

"As long as the growth of labor force is not controlled, after 30 years, you can get a profit equivalent to 10 times the cost of pure net profit, which is unthinkable in the era of feudal agricultural economy. Someone has made statistics that in a closed environment, it is difficult to maintain simple reproduction, let alone expand reproduction. That's a full 8% annual return on a compound interest basis, which is much higher than the 1% annual growth rate of GGDP. If you know this news, you don't know how much money will flow into this field. "Li Ji accidentally leaked the development speed of Chenji's agricultural group when he gave a speech at the Lichun New Year Welfare Distribution Conference in the fifth year of Yuanyou.

"There are no droughts, no floods, no locust plagues, no soil erosion, no frosts, no fires, no pests and diseases, no salinization, no desertification, no decline in fertility, no natural disasters that cause us to lose money. In the same way, there will be no man-made disasters, such as grain cheapness hurting farmers, such as usury exploitation, such as big buckets in and small buckets out, such as man-made destruction of seedlings, such as loss caused by poor preservation, waste of inferior processing process, and so on.

You may ask why? I can answer you. Because we have the best technology and system to increase production and income, and the best people to use and implement these technologies and systems. Each of our agricultural land has a huge investment, and the initial investment of an average of one acre of land is 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the output value of these lands in the ten years before they were acquired.

Don't be surprised, you can check the specific expenses. But I'm going to tell you a few of the key places to spend the most money. Taking rice fields as an example, the terrain is required to be located in river terraces, valley basins, depressions and flat dams, as well as gentle slopes, ditches or ridges in middle and low hills, and the terrain is gentle and suitable for crop growth. The natural conditions are water sources and light conditions, and the existing low- and medium-yield fields can be transformed, concentrated and contiguous, with a scale of more than 3 hectares. In order to meet this condition, we have spent at least one-third of our budget on everything we can to buy land, exchange land with other landlords, spend a lot of money on leveling land, spend money on improving land, and so on.

In terms of engineering technology, it is required to fully develop river and groundwater resources and natural rainfall, have perfect power irrigation or pond and reservoir water storage facilities, and configure perfect main, trunk and branch canals to improve the water source guarantee rate. We should build canals for farming, wool and buckets, improve irrigation facilities in the fields, practice water-saving irrigation, and make full use of water resources.

The surface drainage project is designed to occur once in 20 years, and the third is that the rainstorm will not flood the field, and the second is to remove the stagnant water. The drainage ditches equipped with three functions are all stone-built open and dark ditches, that is, the barrage ditch with a depth of more than 1 meter and the central main drainage ditch (drainage ditch), as well as the drainage branch ditch and the spring diversion ditch with a depth of 60-80cm. It can meet the drainage requirements for the growth of large and small crops, and the EH is -100mV to +100mV during the flooding period of rice. (The EH value is commonly known as the redox potential, an indicator of the strength of the redox reaction.) There are many redox systems in soils, such as oxygen, iron, manganese, nitrogen, sulfur and organic. Under certain conditions, each soil has its EH value. The value is controlled by the oxygen system, that is, it is controlled by the quality of soil aeration, when the aeration is good, the soil EH value is higher and is in an oxidized state, while when the gas is disgusted or poorly aerated, the soil EH value is lower and the reducing effect is stronger. Therefore, the soil EH value is also an indicator that reflects the quality of soil aeration. The EH value of different soils varies greatly, the EH value of dryland soil is higher, generally 600~800 mV, and the EH value of paddy field is lower, and most of them are negative in the flooded state. Its magnitude is determined by the activity ratio of the standard potential E0 oxidant to the reducing agent. For a certain redox system, at constant temperature, EH is determined by the activity ratio of oxidant to reducing agent, and the larger the proportion of oxidant and the higher the EH value, the greater the intensity of oxidation. On the contrary, the stronger the reduced surname. The magnitude of the EH value affects the transformation of soil matter and the effective surname of nutrients. I'm sorry for the moment I forgot that you don't know what this eh means, but you don't care what it is. Go on, let's go on.

In terms of tillage and fertilization technology, it is required to establish a reasonable water-drought rotation system, implement rice-ping-oil or rice-fertilizer rotation, and grow well in winter crops, with two to three crops a year. Straw returning and planting use of green manure to increase soil organic matter content. After the harvest of crops such as rapeseed, wheat and some rice, the straw is used to return to the paddy field, and green manure or other leguminous crops are planted in winter, generally for 3-5 consecutive years. Increase the application of organic fertilizer by more than 1500-2000 kg/mu for 3-5 consecutive years, effectively improve the content of soil organic matter and reduce the bulk density of soil. Corrective fertilization, 100 kg of phosphorus fertilizer (P20515 kg) and 30 kg of potassium fertilizer (K2015 kg) per mu for 3-5 consecutive years to supplement and correct soil deficiency. There are many physical and chemical indicators of soil, such as organic matter: 25-45g/kg, available phosphorus≥15mg/kg, available potassium: ≥100mg/kg, pH: 6.0-7.5, tillage thickness: ≥18-20cm, tillage texture: loam to clay, soil thickness 60-80cm. Drought resistance to more than 60 days of guaranteed irrigation, can meet the irrigation and drainage requirements of large and small season crop growth. There are no obvious obstacles to agricultural production, and the comprehensive agricultural production capacity of cultivated land has been significantly improved. According to the "Classification Standard for Cultivated Land Fertility Grades", the grade of cultivated land fertility reaches the fourth grade or above.

As for dry farmland, the standard is about the same, you can check it yourself, I won't go into details. In the future, we will concentrate on the Yellow Flood in the north and the Lianghu Plain in the south. All in all, all the money we spend will be multiplied tenfold and earned back a hundredfold. Do you have faith? ”

After Li Ji finished saying a bunch of data in one breath, many turtles were shocked before they came to their senses. Hearing that the application of organic fertilizer is more than 1500-2000 kg/mu, for 3-5 consecutive years, the landlords were shocked, and they then moved their fingers to calculate how much it would cost to fertilize an acre of land. The one whose head turns fast is also calculating what crops to plant to return to the cost the fastest. While everyone was still counting their fingers, Li Ji asked loudly if they had any confidence, and as a result, the reflexive turtles immediately replied, "Yes!" ”。 It wasn't until the turtles came back to their senses that they were asking each other what Li Ji said. Naturally, a few of the first veteran partners who had studied the Encyclopedia of Agricultural Administration happily began to teach their peers around them.

In the end, the most unresponsive old rich man also understood his future method of dealing with the field, that is, it was best to leave it to the various professional agricultural companies under the Chenji Group to take care of. Every year, the rent and in-kind output alone are at least three times more than farming.

The biggest winner, Chenji Group, got the permanent right to use and operate the land of all partners without paying a penny. The upfront investment is all through the issuance of internal subscription bonds by individual agricultural companies, which are spread over the next few decades. That is to say, each agricultural company only needs to pay the installment principal and interest of the first year, and the subsequent principal and interest can be repaid with the subsequent income. In the first year, the various companies that obtained a huge amount of cash through the issuance of bonds were naturally wealthy, and the land acquisition was carried out quickly, and the enclosure plan drawn up by the public was promoted.
