863 Grain

Although the land controlled by Tusi in the Tang Huaxia region from Sichuan to Tibet was very large, these Tusi were weak and the army in their hands had little combat effectiveness at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Some Tusi in Sichuan and Yunnan tried to use a joint method to fight against the country, but before they formed the so-called alliance, the Datang Mountain troops had already descended from heaven and raided a number of Tusi strongholds, causing the alliance to collapse naturally.

In the Hengduan Mountains and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the Tang army continued to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Tusi, and some Tusi finally recognized the situation and chose to surrender to the government. And those toasts who were destroyed by the Tang army had no choice, their property was confiscated, their families were also taken care of, and they were uniformly distributed by the National Immigration Bureau to some overseas territories, including the doglegs of the toasts.

For the liberated mountain people, Datang will publicize and explain the policy in depth to encourage them to move to areas with better conditions. During this period, quite a few villages were abandoned, and people came to the relatively easy valley flatlands to live on. Many of these areas were run by Hermes-Epitek, and the mountain people went to the mountains to escape the Hermes-Epitek, but now under the Tang Dynasty policy, there are equal opportunities and everyone can live a normal life without competition for resources.

The grain provided by Datang North America was an important condition for convincing the mountain people, because they had received such tangible benefits as food, so the mountain people tended to trust the Datang government. This means that Datang has such financial resources and strength, and provides a large amount of rations to the mountain people. In the previous imperial court, the benefits were not enough to be distributed, so there was no need to talk about benefiting these mountain people.

After Datang completely controlled North America, it can be said that it already has the largest arable land area in the world. On the other hand, the combined cultivated land of the two countries is about 4 billion mu. Datang has not reclaimed so much land now, and a large amount of land suitable for cultivation is wasteland. Datang itself also adopts a relatively planned and gradual model of land reclamation. However, all the arable land now can produce more grain than the country needs of the Tang Dynasty. Datang is the world's largest grain exporter, and a significant proportion of Europe's grain and food is now imported from Datang. The biggest problem in Datang's current grain production is that there is waste, even though the grain produced by Datang can be used for brewing and other deep processing, there is still a large amount of surplus grain every year. Regulated by the market, food prices have fallen a lot compared to 20 years ago. The Ministry of Agriculture is also under great pressure to coordinate Datang's farms in North America to grow other cash crops through the use of production cooperatives and other means. However, overproduction still occurs occasionally.

On the one hand, Datang is constantly opening up new settlements in North America, and each settlement will naturally have a certain amount of agricultural production, and many new immigrants have limited labor skills, and only agriculture is relatively easy to accommodate these laborers. As a result, some farms have reduced production, but the emergence of new farms has caused the total amount to increase. Even if the main task of the new farm is to supply the regional food needs, there will inevitably be a surplus.

On the other hand, Datang has strategic grain reserves, which is also the traditional sense of distress of the Chinese nation, which makes Datang reserve a huge amount of grain. Of course, this is also an adjustment of the annual output of grain, with more production going into the warehouse, and less production being allocated from the granary. It's just that I haven't seen a shortage of production and demand for it.

In North America, Datang has to establish a regional and national food supply system, and local national grain companies in a region will set up a predicted grain demand figure and purchase local grain at a guaranteed price every year according to the market floating price, which is equivalent to protecting the basic interests of local grain farmers. Farmers can choose what to do with the grain that exceeds the target, and the grain company will buy the surplus grain at the market price. This price may sometimes be so low that the transportation fee is not as good as it, but the grain company is not only responsible for the market problem, but also for the state and social responsibility. At the very least, the grain company won't let the farmers dump their surplus grain into the river.

Non-state-owned grain purchasing companies are doing something similar, they do not have a guaranteed purchase, they are only responsible for handling this part of the market, and private grain traders mainly ship grain to other countries and regions for sale.

The immigrants who were engaged in agriculture themselves still carried with them the traditional idea of producing food as a bottom line, believing that growing food could prevent disasters. Therefore, not only the state stores grain, but some peasants also store grain themselves. Basically, after a few years, after the grain corruption has turned into stale grain, the peasants will change their production mode in distress.

A large amount of grain produced by Datang is sold all over the world, and it has also hit the local farmers of many countries, and many countries have imposed protective tariffs on the grain imported by Datang, which is a legal part of the Warsaw system, and a small number of import and export trade goods can be subject to protective tariffs, but the quantity is limited. If it is used for food, other things cannot be protected.

The large amount of grain stored by the Datang State is still troublesome after a long time, so it is used as a form of welfare, which can be regarded as a bit of a use. However, when grain is used in the southwest region, the real price is not in the grain itself, but in the high transportation costs. Datang can also be regarded as a ship, train, and road transportation to solve this trouble. In some cases, it is a direct way to emigrate and receive food at the shipping port.

Datang's grain problem was ultimately solved by the market. Many farmers have begun to produce other cash crops because the price of grain is too low, and only a small amount of land is reserved to produce grain.

Every year, the grain that is no longer edible is directly turned into fertilizer in a relatively extensive way, and when conditions permit, it is produced into alcohol and alcohol fuel. These excessive amounts of alcohol have also given birth to the liquor industry of Datang, which not only brews liquor that meets the taste of its own people, but also produces a large number of vodka, whiskey, beer and other exports, which have become common consumer goods in Europe and other countries, with low prices and good quality, and are very popular. Some liquor companies even consider that liquor can be stored for a long time and engage in reserves, and there is an investment psychology of selling it after a hundred years. At least liquor is much easier to store than grain. (To be continued.) )
