Although the breeding rate of cows is lower, it has the advantage of high corn yield, and Xia Jun can also choose to raise worse cattle breeds.

That's a profit to be made, even if it's a buffalo.

"How is the agricultural planning for the second half of the year?" Xia Jun asked Yang Mingliu at this time.

"After planning, the rice planting area will be reduced to 15 million mu in the second half of the year, and the corn planting area will be increased to 20 million mu, and the number of livestock will increase significantly next year."

Yang Mingliu had already made a detailed plan before, but he was still uncertain and said: "But we still have to look at the market changes, and it may be temporarily adjusted." ”

"Hmmm! Keep it off. Remember that agricultural planning is self-sufficiency, and then impact the agriculture of other countries, but now the people in other provinces in China still rely on agriculture, and the types of crops that will be impacted must be grasped well, so as not to affect the rest of the provinces. Xia Jun said to Yang Mingliu.

Just like rice, the more grain the better, once there is more grain, and the political axe is confiscated, it will naturally flow into the market. However, European and American countries do not eat much rice, and when the time comes, not only their own food prices will plummet, but also the food prices of other provinces will plummet, which will put more people into hardship.

And like wheat, corn can be a variety of these two crops, wheat consumer market is relatively broad, can be used to impact the market of other countries, corn is used in the breeding industry, corn is more varied, meat will be more, not only to supply internal demand, but also to impact the breeding industry of other countries.

Although grain is relatively valuable, if the price is too low, farmers in other countries will naturally be reluctant to grow it, so that the original grain production will still be maintained.

As for crops like soybeans, cotton, and sugarcane, you can basically grow whatever you want, and there is no risk in planting as much as you want.

In the planting of soybeans, the East China political axe can be used for machine farming, coupled with high-yield soybeans, high personal labor output value, although the global demand for soybeans is not very high in this era, but in World War I and World War II will gradually rise.

In 1915, the Yankees stole the technology from China and then bought local soybeans in the United States in 1916.

In the future, the international soybean market will be dominated by China, and other countries will not be able to compete with China in terms of price if they want to develop soybean planting.

As for cotton, everyone in the world has to wear clothes, but not every country can achieve cotton self-sufficiency, and the international market for cotton is very broad.

With the current high-yield cotton yield planted by various agricultural reclamation companies, there is an overwhelming advantage in the yield, and when there is a drip irrigation technology, the output will increase dramatically.

In the future, China's cotton will also dominate the international cotton market, and no country can compete with China in the international cotton market.

But this does not mean that other countries need to supply cotton from China, and those cotton-producing countries can only establish tariff barriers at most to keep their own cotton in the domestic market, but they are like rats hiding in a hole, and they are not so level if they want to compete in the international market.

Not to mention sugarcane, the huge profits of the sugar industry have already attracted the agricultural reclamation companies to Guangdong, and next year the agricultural reclamation companies will make a big splash in Guangdong.

"Xia, your agriculture in China seems to be very developed." Tana looked at the tall slices of corn and asked Xia Jun strangely.

According to her impression, China is a very backward country.

"Yes, poverty will be away from us." Xia Jun smiled and nodded to Tana, he pointed to the golden field in the distance, and said: "In the future, our Chinese agriculture will dominate the world, maybe in the future, we can use 5% of the agricultural population to feed 50% of the world's population." ”

"It sounds crazy." Tana said incredulously.

"Tana, look over there." Li Shijing suddenly pointed to the distance excitedly, only to see an army coming in the distance, Xia Jun picked up the binoculars and looked, it was the newly formed production corps.

They drove combine harvesters and trucks and came to help with the harvest.

With the combine harvester running, corn cobs are carried from the conveyor belt to the back of the truck, and when one truck is full, another truck takes over.

"It's so efficient." Tana asked Xia Jun in amazement, "Xia, if you can provide technology, I think we can make a lot of money in American agriculture." ”

“no。” Xia Jun directly denied that he would not provide such agricultural technology to the Yankees, and after thinking about it, Xia Jun continued: "But if it is in Australia, then it can be considered." However, our farming company is already planning to expand into Australia. ”

Australia is a developed area of animal husbandry, Xia Jun can provide high-yield sheep and high-yield pasture to agricultural reclamation companies, and beef cattle can also be raised in Australia.

As for the question of whether beef cattle will be lost, this is not a question at all.

The species cultivated in the breeding base cannot be bred with any other kind of species, and like the bull, they must enter the breeding base to have the ability to reproduce.

As for why he chose Australia, because it has been regarded by Xia Jun as his own territory.

"Okay!" Tana pursed her lips, a little depressed.

…… The summer harvest in the three provinces of East China has alarmed many people, and basically all countries have arranged some intelligence personnel in the three provinces of East China.

Naturally, these intelligence officers saw the combine harvesters and the astonishingly high yields of various crops.

Among them, the most depressed is the rice seeds sown by their agricultural department at the beginning of the year, some of which are long, and some are not.

It will grow the seeds that have been stolen and the seeds will be very strong. But the hundreds of kilograms of second-crop rice that were sown did not grow at all, and not even a single bud was produced.

The agricultural department, which was originally called 'The agriculture of the Great Empire is about to take off', suddenly lost its voice, and they couldn't figure out why it didn't sprout in the second season?

In order to find out this problem, the central government allocated 2 million yuan to the agricultural department and invited many biological experts to solve this problem together.

As a result, nothing was found, nothing was solved.

If the seeds can't be propagated for a second season, then the agricultural take-off of the Great Empire will die directly, because even if you steal the seeds, how much can you steal in a year?

Moreover, the people of China seem to have known that the seeds have been stolen, and now they are more careful in distributing the seeds, and the number of people who want to steal seeds in large quantities is equal to zero.

"We say that the intelligence agencies of this empire must steal their method of cultivating seeds as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"Yes, otherwise our agriculture will be overtaken by the chinese."

…… The press circles in the three provinces of East China were extremely excited about the summer harvest, and they temporarily gave up their accusations of Chairman Xia's failure to do his job and devoted themselves to reporting on agriculture.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture of the East China Autonomous Government, this year's rice planting area is about 15 million mu less than in previous years, but the grain output can feed the people of the three East China Autonomous Provinces for 10 months, and at the same time, the corn output can raise a large number of livestock, and the problem of eating meat for the people of the three East China provinces will be solved within next year.

"Great harvest!"

"No. 1 in global agriculture!"

and other headline reports frequently appeared in various newspapers, and the highest-selling "Fuxing Daily" reported on this: "Agriculture is taking off, and the autonomous political axe of East China has the ability to enable the people of the three provinces in East China to solve the problem of food and clothing." ”

According to the report, the high-level meeting of the East China Autonomous Political Axe decided to completely solve the problem of food and clothing within two years, and will increase relief efforts this year, and will increase assistance to other provinces in China after the three provinces solve the problem of food and clothing next year.

The Fuxing Daily, which ranked second in sales, focused on commercial reporting, and the News said that the bumper agricultural harvest in the three autonomous provinces of East China did not have much impact on grain prices, because the area under rice cultivation was not too large. However, the planting area of corn, cotton, and soybeans is very high. The first thing that will affect the price of meat will be greatly reduced in the future.

The reporting style of "Declaration", which ranks third in sales, is different from that of "Fuxing Daily" and "News Daily", "Fuxing Daily" is closer to politics, "News Daily" is closer to business, and "Declaration" is closer to people's livelihood.

The reporter went deep into the rural areas to investigate and interview, and came to the conclusion: "Within this year, the people of the three provinces in East China will initially solve the problem of food and clothing. ”

The "Declaration" then vigorously praised the policy of tax exemption and light taxation in agriculture in the three provinces of East China, and the "Declaration" held that solving the people's food and clothing was on the one hand a high yield and a bumper crop harvest, and on the other hand, it was also the result of the political axe's reduction or exemption of agricultural taxes.

However, what is surprising is that when the "declaration" was singing the ode, the East China Autonomous Political Axe suddenly announced that the agricultural tax for the autumn harvest in the second half of the year will be raised to 10%~20, that is, the landlords in the mountainous areas pay 10% of the tax, and the landlords in the mechanized farming areas on the plains pay 20% of the agricultural tax.

Isn't this a naked slap in the face?

I was still praising you just now! All of a sudden, you raised the agricultural tax.

Shi Liangcai was puzzled and decided to send a reporter to block Xia Jun and ask him to give an explanation.

So when Xia Jun went to work in the administrative building that day, the armored car was blocked outside the political axe building, and more than a dozen reporters surrounded him to interview Xia Jun.

The armored vehicle was still covered in a black cloth, but a microphone was installed in the back window to cope with the reporters' interviews.

As soon as the reporters came up, the SS guard companies around the armored car pulled their fingers on the trigger and stared at the reporters with a pair of eyes.

They did not search the journalists. But fortunately, the interview was made through bulletproof glass, and even if there were assassins, the chairman was not too dangerous.

"Chairman, chairman, may I ask if the autonomous government axe suddenly wants to raise agricultural taxes?"

"Chairman of the Committee, will there be any unfavorable conditions for production after the agricultural tax is introduced?"

"Chairman, does the autonomous political axe have a perfect plan?"

Xia Jun looked at the reporters who were scrambling to ask questions outside, and replied unhappily into the microphone in the car: "What's the fuss about mentioning an agricultural tax, doesn't the autonomous government axe need money for education?" Doesn't the autonomous government need money for medical care? Doesn't the government need money to repair infrastructure? ”

As he spoke, Xia Jun motioned for the driver to drive.

......The driver honked his horn twice, and the guards on the side began to disperse the reporters who had gathered around, and the strange armored car covered in black cloth drove into the political axe administration building.
