Chapter 294: Landlords Gather

To be honest, since 1908, Baotou has become more and more lively, especially after last year's bandit clearance, along with the 54 mixed organization after the formation of combat effectiveness, Baotou's direct control range has expanded from the original 200 kilometers to about 450 kilometers, in such a huge area, the bandits have almost been cleared up, and the bandits either ran elsewhere or changed their careers on the spot.

After all, the whole Baotou, the demand for personnel, is almost endless, especially after the Wuhan Industry Meeting, with the increase in the popularity of the machine, more and more various machinery, from Baotou, to all parts of China, there are also a lot of rich people, began to devote themselves to the production of the machine, for the rest of China, the production of the machine is a very difficult thing, but for Baotou, it is not difficult at all, a large number of advanced machine tools, The industrial workers of the whole China are concentrated in Baotou, these two together, as long as you find senior workers, buy a batch of machine tools, by the way to Baotou United Machinery Company, purchase some drawings of the machine, of course, to pay a certain fee, what is called the patent fee, after doing this qiē, you can set up a factory.

Because of the popularity of the machine factory, in the past month or so, a series of new factories have been opened, and the demand for workers in Baotou has almost reached a strong Cheng dù, these bandits have no way to live, as long as they are honest and willing to work, they can still find a way to live.

Not to mention that because of the relationship in Baotou, countless horse bandits have changed their ways, and Baotou in November ushered in a large number of well-known landlords.

In the north, because of the relationship between politics and the economy, especially the staking of many Manchus, with the poor management methods of the Manchus, there is little profit, and it has become fragmented, and a large area of land is only in the western provinces such as Mongolia and Shaanxi, but Jiangnan, although it was suppressed in the early Qing Dynasty, the deep-rooted clans still developed slowly, and gradually the land was annexed, forming an intricate clan system.

With the influence and publicity of Baotou, there are many people who have attracted it, and it takes a lot of thought to ensure that everyone is very satisfied, Yang Yuanzhao assigned most of the work, gathered everyone's ideas together, and finally came up with some better methods, no, the harvest day has arrived.

Other cotton plants that have been used in Baotou and planted cotton on the land where cotton is planted, their growth period cannot be as long as Baotou, and their yield and cotton yield are greatly inferior to Baotou's side when they are less than ten days.

Eight people are very moved, and they are all heavyweights, at least 50,000 acres of people start, more than one million acres, at least not thirty or forty, as for hundreds of thousands of acres of absolute backbone, all over the whole of China, the south of the most almost thirty, and a small number of northwest, these have become the focus of Baotou's strategy.

The general situation of each person, on the side of the Baoken company, are recorded, the final statistics show that the people who arrived in Baotou are a total of 1806, of which there are 39 super landlords of more than one million acres, and the detailed statistics of all the families have land, the final number is a little more than 900 million, and the average amount of land per family is surprisingly about 500,000 mu, Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that before Mongolia, Shanxi, with the help of Jin merchants and other influences, In the end, the land signed is 250 million mu, and a certain amount may be added in the next six months.

Such a huge land area made Yang Yuanzhao speechless at the same time, but also thought that the land in the future generations was only a hundred thousand mu, which was the number of the whole country, what the hell is going on, is it possible, he suddenly gave the whole country all the land to the network.

After Yang Yuanzhao, he asked Hou Jinsheng about this question, but he didn't expect Hou Jinsheng to laugh, patted Yang Yuanzhao's shoulder, and said, "Yuanzhao, you are still too young!" ”

Next, after Hou Jinsheng explained, Yang Yuanzhao understood that even if the Hou family, which owns hundreds of thousands of acres of land, really makes a register on the government, it will not exceed 20,000 acres, and other families are similar. However, ordinary and relatively barren land, or newly cultivated wasteland, can be planted with cotton alone, and I don't know how much of this land, Mongolia, Xinjiang, and even other places.

After detailed statistics of the basic situation of all the landlords, Yang Yuanzhao began to arrange a special person to serve them, next to each big landlord, will be followed by a special commentator, they are all from the agricultural research institute, more than a year of experience, they have gone through a series of learning, can be regarded as a start, can not become a special researcher and scientist, but can help to carry out some simple calculations, real yàn, records and other work, used to explain to these big landlords, of course, is the head is the way.

The shortage of cotton, in fact, began last year, these landlords, also heard that the demand for cotton is strong, the land, as long as there is some, will be through guò various trade routes, sell, if the cotton is planted, it is not to worry about selling, even more than grain, will produce huge benefits.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that for these big landlords, hearing is always false, seeing is believing, Hou Jinsheng back then, this is it, if it weren't for the planting of cotton, a bumper harvest, and unimaginable benefits, would he be tied to the chariot of the reclamation company so lightly?

Because he knew this, Yang Yuanzhao briefly introduced them to them, and after taking them to visit some factories in Baotou, he directly introduced them to the ground, and the harvesting of cotton could be done as early as two days ago, but in order to wait for someone, he waited for such a long time, and Baotou has been preparing.

This year, the land directly controlled by the Baoken Company has reached an unprecedented 10 million mu, and to harvest 10 million mu of cotton, in terms of personnel, it is absolutely indispensable, and 60,000 people have been mobilized directly from the Baoken Company, as well as temporary recruits from all over the country, who have come to do odd jobs, almost 200,000 people, to pick 10 million mu of cotton together, and each person can get an average of 50 mu, even if the hands and feet are fast and slow, it also takes more than ten days of work.

Many large landowners, I am afraid that there are not one or two thousand, plus they are long with housekeepers and the like, five or six thousand people, such a large number of people, can not be put together, Baotou has made a very detailed plan before, this time, separate people, around Baotou, the most dense area of cotton planting, personally go to the field, observe the cotton picking, to ensure that they can see the most real, but also the strongest cotton picking process.

The big landlords, maybe they don't know much about planting, they still have a vision, these cotton, cotton peaches are huge, the most important thing is that the fruit hanging rate is extremely high, a plant, there are many cotton peaches, all kinds of picking workers, skillfully picking down one by one cotton peaches, and then sending them to the concentration place for inventory of output.

In the middle, it is absolutely impossible to fake, agriculture is like this, maybe it can be piled up through guò, concentrated, so that the yield per mu of an acre of land can reach a higher level, but Baotou is directly spread out, so that everyone can see not an acre, but 100 acres, 100 acres, 1000 acres, and even the average yield of 10,000 acres, and even 10,000 acres, fake an acre of land, with the strength of Baotou, may be able to barely reach, 10 acres, 100 acres, 1000 acres, and even 10,000 acres, which is definitely not something that can be achieved by manpower.

Yang Yuanzhao's expression was calm, when the preliminary output was summed up, it was almost the same as he expected before, although this year, the planting area of cotton soared again, reaching the amount of 10 million mu, but the output of cotton, on the basis of last year, it was a new high, on the basis of mainland cotton, the best of the best were selected, and the most scientific method of breeding and cultivation was used, and the greenhouse was also used in the early stage. This also makes the output of cotton, from about 300 catties last year, suddenly increased to 360 catties, this increase is definitely not small, but also from the side, proves that Yang Yuanzhao is willing to provide sufficient funds to the Agricultural Research Institute, not to mention anything else, to increase the average yield per mu of 60 catties, the entire 10 million acres of land, the total output of lint, will increase by 180 million catties, which is not a small number.

Because the yield is compared with last year's substantial growth, the cotton yield is about the same as the last time, a slight increase, a little more than 30, but it has not yet reached 31 Cheng dù, but a little increase after the decimal point, with 360 catties of mu yield and 10 million mu of land, is also a very amazing number.

These big landlords are not stupid, what is the purpose of Baotou to get them over, they are also very clear, after looking at the yield of cotton, especially the price of cotton, even if it is the most stable, it is also a little unable to sit still, the lint yield per mu of land, almost reached more than 100 catties, at the price of a few cents a catty, is not more than 30 yuan, almost 40.

These big landlords, the land is their lifeblood, the annual income, basically will fall on the land, how much the land can produce, they are also clear, cotton is good, but each mu of land is only an income of ten catties, the cost of labor, the purchase of things, compared to growing food, is only a little more, but all in the northwest to know, the original so much, even if half of the labor and input are thrown away, the income is enough to be amazing, especially in the case of a huge amount of land, This is an excellent choice for every landlord who owns a large amount of land.

At the end of the day, many landlords signed an intention directly with the reclamation company, and next year they will hand over their land to the reclamation company to operate, although a small number of them are still hesitating, but some of them are moved, Yang Yuanzhao didn't care much, he waited for the day when the cotton was all harvested, because the biggest task under the all-in-one machine was on the eve of completion.
