In April, the warm spring breeze blew through the land of Baotou, the grass seemed to be rejuvenated, emerging from the land, among the wheat fields, turning up layers of wheat waves, scientific planting and management, even the most hateful farmers of the reclamation company, also had to admit that the land cultivated by the reclamation company, the income, is far above what they planted, there is no final harvest, there is more than a month, experienced people can already judge, the yield is about 250 catties or more.

You must know that even in a densely populated place like Henan and Shandong, most of which are cooked land, the yield per mu of wheat is about 130-150 catties, which is equivalent to saying that an acre of land has an extra grain of about one stone, which is not a small amount, representing a man in the prime of life, almost 3 months of rations.

There is a lot of wheat in one stone, you know, among several major grains, the yield of wheat per mu is the lowest, even worse than millet, not as good as high-yield crops such as sorghum and corn, but wheat is the main food of the people in the north, with flour and steamed bread as the main body of the north, wheat is indispensable, in the case of rational use of chemical fertilizers, the yield of wheat per mu rises, which will bring tangible benefits.

Among the industrial and agricultural indicators, agriculture is also a very key indicator, this time the wheat harvest, representing the first income, relative to industry, along with the gradual production of various light industries, Baotou's industrial products, began to gradually expand to the entire north, more and more high income, so that industrial production to reach the target, there is no problem at all, on the contrary, the real bottleneck, fell on agricultural production.

Originally, Yang Yuanzhao did not intend to complete the combined task of industrial and agricultural production by relying on a season of wheat, which is almost impossible, after all, the yield per mu of wheat is limited, and the improvement of chemical fertilizer, that is, more than 100 catties, even if the yield per mu reaches 300 catties, 6 million mu, that is, 1.8 billion catties of wheat, it looks very amazing, but with agricultural indicators, the output value of agricultural production has reached 150 million US dollars, That is, compared with the figure of 300 million oceans, there is still a big difference.

The price of high-quality white rice is only 30 catties per yuan, and the flour is a little more, and one yuan can buy 40 catties to 50 catties, and 1.8 billion catties of wheat are all made into flour and sold, which is only tens of millions of oceans, and there is a big distance from the number of 300 million.

The production of grain is necessary in a certain way, without grain is unstable, without enough grain to rely on, any change cannot be carried out, so even if there is this combination of industrial and agricultural production tasks, Yang Yuanzhao will not casually give up wheat and turn to produce crops with higher economic value, in that case, the food shortage is enough to ruin the efforts he made in Baotou, and even bury his hard work.

The key to completing this agricultural production task lies in cotton, and now, the contract has been signed, about 8 million mu, from last winter to now, and has increased by more than 1 million mu, for those who want to join the reclamation company, Yang Yuanzhao can definitely be called a person who does not refuse, and the land is a huge influence at any time.

8 million mu, in the future, after the wheat harvest, there may be a huge increase, even if it is this number, according to the previous output of nearly 300 catties, about 30 cotton yield, which means that every acre of land, the production of lint 90 catties, at the price of three cents and five per catty, almost 30 yuan, just cotton, It can reach 240 million oceans of income, which is different from grain, this can be directly converted into income, most of the cotton will be supplied to cotton textile mills, and then converted into finished cloth, or ready-to-wear, for the entire Chinese market.

Together, two crops of cotton and wheat can complete the task of 150 million US dollars, but for the sake of insurance, Yang Yuanzhao is still willing to push one step further and start the seed industry in Baotou.

The seed industry, in later generations is very developed, the vast majority of farmers planted, are good seeds, compared with ordinary crops, the price of seeds is higher, Yang Yue and a bunch of classmates, with the help of advanced real equipment, has been on cotton, soybeans, wheat, millet, and even corn sorghum, a systematic study has been carried out, summed up a series of programs, did not reach the genetic aspects of later generations, and even the level of genetics, but with the help of some chemical and physical methods, the seeds were initially treated, The plants are healthier, the germination rate is higher, and the yield will be greatly improved in the future.

Last year, the reclamation company, has carried out a sale, after transplantation, the sale of the remaining seedlings, all of a sudden recovered a considerable amount of funds, this year, under Yang Yuanzhao's suggestion, Yang Yue to carry forward this, on the basis of the original 200,000 acres of greenhouses, and the construction of 1.2 million acres of seeds in the real area, since last year, unified management, with the help of half of the greenhouse, half of the intensive management, is a preliminary seed to build, although cotton seeds have been unable to provide, But in the future, cotton seedlings can be provided from April to July, and the seeds of winter wheat will be qualitatively improved compared with the current ones in different stages and sizes.

Agriculture, that's it, in the slow, a large amount of investment, can be promoted, but such an improvement, but on the surface, food is a national event, just a Baotou, it has 8 million acres of land, extended to Shanxi, Mongolia, that is hundreds of millions of land, such a huge land, even if there is a pound of promotion, is hundreds of millions, or even billions of promotion, big countries, is the key to supporting food input, no wonder later generations, only China, the United States and a few other countries, In the food project, a huge improvement has been obtained, and there is no other way, continuous, and even high-investment research, and there will naturally be breakthroughs.

This point, even Yang Yuanzhao, who has an all-in-one machine, can not change, like the material, generally cast nets to focus on fishing, continuous investment, a large amount of investment, to promote basic research non-stop, if a little luck, out of a few more outstanding researchers in agriculture, maybe you can directly get a breakthrough.

In Yang Yuanzhao's view, Yang Yue, as well as several of his classmates, such as John, all have relatively strong theoretical knowledge, and the next step is to make this theoretical knowledge and the research direction and vision of later generations completely combined, so that as long as we continue to increase investment, it is absolutely inevitable to obtain results.

If there is a plane to skip Baotou at this time, you will see two dragons, one to the east and one to the north, as if on the rivers and mountains, calligraphy and painting lines, and in the hinterland of Baotou, there are also dense farmers, in the fields, hard work, although now not tenants, not farmers, but become farm workers, under strict discipline and management, everyone remembers who changed their fate, so they are all diligent farming.

In mid-April, all the cotton greenhouses began to get busy, last year's 600 acres, this year's 200,000 acres, the quantity, increased by more than 300 times, which is related to this year's entire planting task, and even includes the raw materials of next year's textile mills, although there are Indian cotton and American cotton, a certain amount of dù, can support the full capacity of the entire cotton textile mill, but the cotton textile mill continues to expand, without a sufficient, good raw material environment, how can it be possible to obtain higher development, The most important thing is that Yang Yuanzhao often mentioned that being prepared for danger in times of peace is unreliable, once the cotton sources in India and the United States are cut off, the cotton textile mills, a certain number of years, will become rootless wood, no source of water, no raw materials, there are so many workers, how to occupy the market.

At present, the total output of the cotton textile mill is still small, and it is still active in the whole west, and it has not touched the traditional areas of Britain and France, and it has not yet attracted the attention of the other party, but once it is taken seriously, with the power of the great powers, it must be the first to cut off the import of raw materials, and then it is the coercion of the official face, and it is cleverly seized.

Yang Yuanzhao's painstaking management of Baotou, it is impossible to make a wedding dress for them, from this aspect, he must take precautions.

Not only Yang Yuanzhao is very concerned about the planting of cotton, the major shareholders also often visit the seedling cultivation base, 200,000 acres of seedling cultivation base, 600,000 acres of improved seed base, these are for cotton seedlings to prepare, especially the latter, 3 times the greenhouse, is also the use of greenhouse methods, but there is no nutrient bowl, there is no more intensive scientific guidance, just according to a certain process, planting seedlings, may be planted, a little weaker than a separate nutrient bowl, but the number is larger.

Last year, Baotou sold a small number of cotton seedlings, has set off a trend in the entire northwest, a small number of seedlings from Baotou, although not as well as the Baoken company carefully planted, but also much stronger than they planted before, each acre of lint harvest, less than seven or eight catties, more than ten catties, this is lint, calculated, the overall income, can definitely be called extremely high, an acre of land more than two yuan and three yuan, on the contrary, the money to buy seedlings is only how much.

In previous years, under the situation of a surge in cotton production, perhaps in previous years, it would fluctuate due to a bumper harvest or too much quantity, but since there was a cotton textile factory, it was almost open to harvest, no matter what the harvest was, how much to have, and even the price of cotton would rise a little higher.

There is no shortage of smart people in China, closed landlords, not all are ignorant, they will see, will listen, there are real benefits in the case, there is no obstacle to sales at all, this is not, even if far away in Shanxi and Shaanxi, will send people to buy, just pay a deposit, there are already as many as 7 million mu, even if it is just this number, the planting area of cotton in the entire northwest is as high as 15 million mu, even if it can not reach the yield of Baotou, with an average of 50-60 catties of lint, it is 900 million catties, This is enough to support the production of the expanded textile mill next year.
