Chapter 150 Innovation in Agricultural Technology
There is a popular folk proverb that is said to be unstable without agriculture, and chaos without food. The grain problem is the most critical and basic problem of all problems, the food problem has not been solved, and other things are like a tree without roots and water without a source, and the grain output of the Republic of China is compared with modern times, that is a world of difference, according to the research of later generations, the average yield per mu of several major grain crops in Gansu in 1935 is: millet 250 catties, sorghum 300 catties, millet 213 catties, peas 275 catties, rice 125 catties, wheat 300 catties. According to a survey in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province in 1936, the yield per mu of sorghum was 65 kg, and the yield of Youyu wheat per mu was 48 kg; Potato is an important grain and vegetable crop in Shuozhou, with a yield of 82 kg per mu.
These differences are mainly in grain species, water sources, animal power and other aspects, in the south, Huaihua, Hunan Province in the Republic of China 29 years of rice yield per mu of 149 kilograms. In 1949, the medium rice in Jiading, Shanghai, was 190 kilograms, and the late rice was 201 kilograms.
In later generations, Mr. Yuan Longping's super hybrid rice has reached a large area with a yield of 900 kilograms per mu.
Therefore, half of the credit for China's rapid economic development should be given to agricultural scholars headed by Yuan Longping, and if it were not for these scholars who have developed these high-yield grains, where would we have been able to achieve a large number of people leaving the countryside to become peasant workers, and where would China have been able to feed 21 percent of the world's population with 7 percent of the world's arable land.
More importantly, people in the Republic of China do not have much oil and water, so they mainly rely on staple food to provide energy, even if a man is engaged in very light labor a day to 2400 kcal of energy, and a pound of cooked rice is only 750 kcal, that is to say, a peasant man wants 3.6 catties of white rice a day, of course, this is completely regardless of other vegetables and oil, but how can there be two catties of white rice a day. It is equivalent to about one and a half catties of dry rice, and if you are engaged in a job like a miner, you may need three catties of dried rice to be enough.
Jiang Cheng followed Xiao Wang on horseback to the so-called glass house, and looking at the small canyon guarded by the guards, Jiang Cheng knew that this must be one of the important places of the Red Party.
Jiang Cheng took out his documents. This is what Chairman Mao handled for him after Jiang Cheng left, and let Xiao Wang bring it to him, there is no name on the certificate, only the three numbers 203 are written, but the level is the highest top secret, and the seal is pasted with a laser anti-counterfeiting mark, which makes Jiang Cheng look at it and smile bitterly, which makes future generations see it, I am afraid it will only feel that it is a complete fake. But at this time, it is absolutely impossible to imitate the second top-secret document.
Entering the canyon, I only saw rows of glass houses, as well as a few brick and mud houses, and Chairman Mao was talking about something with a few people dressed as peasants and scholars.
Chairman Mao saw Jiang Cheng coming, and hurriedly beckoned and said, "203 is here, come on, you are knowledgeable, come and see." ”
Jiang Cheng walked over to take a look. I immediately understood what this so-called glass house was, and only saw that the glass house was full of greenery. One by one, the green elves are stretching their bodies and enjoying the sun.
The glass house was very tall, four or five meters high, and because there was no suitable aluminium alloy, steel was used, and the glass was not a large piece of glass in later generations. It's a small piece, probably because the production of large pieces of glass is not going well.
There are pipes in the glass room one by one, and the pipes are connected to some heat sinks from time to time, and these heat sinks continue to emit heat, which is not even a treatment in Phoenix Mountain. And these elves enjoyed it in advance.
Iron pipes are connected to the outermost boiler room. The black smoke from burning coal is slowly rising, and this is a greenhouse nursery greenhouse.
Chairman Mao introduced, "These are the most experienced old farmers in our border area and agronomists from Beiping and Shanghai, they read your book, built this greenhouse together, and are ready to try to raise seedlings in advance. ”
When a scholar with a slight beard heard Chairman Mao's words, he looked at Jiang Cheng with interest and said, "I don't know which master wrote those books, there are many ideas and practices in them, which are very novel and operational, I really want to get acquainted with one or two." In particular, the method of using chemicals to disinfect seeds in advance is really a stroke of genius, so that many diseases of our crops can be prevented in advance. ”
Jiang Cheng smiled, changed the topic and said, "I don't know what the results are now?" ”
When an old farmer heard this, he excitedly pointed to the wheat seedlings in the glass house and said, "This glass house is really useful, and it actually makes the seeds germinate in the cold winter time of the lunar month, but the price is too high, and we ordinary people may not be able to afford it." ”
The scholar also nodded and said, "We also think the price is too high, but the effect is really good, in addition, we have also studied and experimented with the method of seed sterilization, these seedlings are treated, in addition, we have also developed the technology of nutrient soil, nest tray and seeding, and we are researching the seeder, so that we can save labor." ”
Chairman Mao nodded, looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Greenhouse breeding is a common way to increase yield, generally in this way, the grain after breeding and transplanting in advance can at least increase the yield by more than two percent, and for some special crops such as corn, it can even increase the yield by half." Of course, there are many other ways to increase yields, such as the use of chemical fertilizers, the use of improved seeds, the improvement of farming techniques, and so on. ”
The senior raised his glasses, nodded in agreement and said, "We have now collected and sorted out the new methods and good methods of farming into a book, and distributed them to various towns and villages, but most of the people do not trust our methods, after all, most of our propagandists are some students, and they do not have much experience in farming, and the people still trust their methods more for thousands of years." Mr. President, this is an issue that we must address. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to cope with the difficulties of next year. ”
Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Chairman?" Did we encounter any difficulties? ”
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "It's grain, we raised the problem of grain in the middle of last year, and we also mentioned outsourcing to solve a lot, but the problem is now much more serious than we imagined, 203, Comrade Lin Boqu gave me a report a few days ago, in the past six months since the start of the war, people from all over the country have come to our border areas in a steady stream, and our current population has exceeded 200,000. And it is still increasing, these people include the workers, students and scholars we have collected and invited, there are also young people who have been attracted by us, there are also our own cadres and the army, and there are also many refugees who have fled, and we have to arrange their fields. But it takes a year for them to grow grain, and there is already a shortage of food in our border areas, and now that so many people have come here at once, if we don't find a way to solve it, we will be hungry next year. Of course, this is not the crux of the matter, after all, do we still have overseas aid? Saying that, Chairman Mao looked at Jiang Cheng, indeed, Jiang Cheng's space limit state can transport two thousand tons of grain at a time. If you compress high-calorie food like biscuits, you can save enough for 10,000 people to eat for a year, Jiang Cheng's space is still growing, and it is possible to take care of the food in the base area.
Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously, "So what is the key?" ”
Chairman Mao pointed to the east and said, "A telegram has been sent from the base area, our anti-Japanese base area is in trouble, although it is still a small trouble, but if it is not solved, it will become a big trouble sooner or later." ”
Chairman Mao said, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said: "The people in the occupied areas are suffering. Since the beginning of the war, ordinary people have not been able to produce with peace of mind. The grain output is constantly declining, and the devils are coming to grab grain again, and our Chief Yan has already allocated a lot of special anti-Japanese grain funds in advance, and most of the base areas are barren mountainous areas. Our troops could not receive any grain at all in the base areas, and could only collect industrial and commercial taxes and use money to buy grain. But it's also difficult. ”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "The chairman is preparing to increase grain production. so that our core base areas can provide enough food for our troops. ”
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Our food in the guerrilla zone will become the focus of contention between us and the devils and the White Army for a long time. When the time comes, it will be really dangerous if we don't have enough food reserves. I predict that there will be no big moves by the devils this year, but next year, the devils will definitely sweep up, and we must be fully prepared. ”
Jiang Cheng then understood why Chairman Mao attached so much importance to grain production, because of Jiang Cheng, Yan'an's food was not really short, and the early launch of the large-scale production movement also greatly alleviated Yan'an's food problem, but in the anti-Japanese base area, the food problem gradually became a big problem because the Eighth Route Army expanded its army larger and faster than in history.
Chairman Mao's idea was to increase the agricultural output in the base areas, so that the common people could not only increase their favor and support for the Red Party's political power, but also collect grain on the spot in order to expand the army.
In the real history, the difficulty of food in the anti-Japanese base area has always existed, and there was even a meeting of Mr. Peng and others, because they were so hungry that everyone could only lie down and talk, this was still the head of the army, and the soldiers at the bottom were even more difficult, and there were no less than one or two quartermasters and cooking squad leaders who starved to death, and the difficulties in the base area were unimaginable to ordinary people.
The scholar continued: "We have developed many methods, but there are also many that can only be tried in our border areas, such as chemical fertilizers, which cannot be found in the base areas. ”
Chairman Mao shook his hand and said, "To get to the point, although this greenhouse is good, the price is too high, our people can't accept it, can we press the price down?" ”
The scholar said helplessly, "The price of glass and steel is there, and it is difficult to reduce it, but we have designed such an earthen house, and the outside is heated by the principle of burning kang, although the effect is not as good as that of a glass house and water heating, but the price can be reduced a lot." ”
When everyone entered the earthen house, it was also very warm inside, because it was not a glass house, so there was not enough sunlight, and the seedlings inside were much thinner than those outside.
Chairman Mao asked, "How much is such an earthen house?" How much can be bred? ”
The scholar said, "The price is not much, but the coal is more expensive, we use the hole tray seedling seedling, a plate is 200 holes, can be superimposed, a 600 square meters of such a soil house, can raise more than 200,000 seedlings, enough for farmers to use 20-30 acres of land, this mainly depends on what crops." ”
Chairman Mao continued to ask: "We ordinary people can build earthen houses by ourselves, how much does this coal cost?" ”
The scholar continued, "Coal costs 50 tons a year, and this earthen house can continue to grow seedlings all year round, and more than a million seedlings can be raised a year. ”
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "It is to let the people use it, let me do the math, now a ton of coal is three yuan, 50 tons is one hundred and fifty silver dollars, if you can take care of 100 acres of land a year." An acre of land costs more than one yuan, and the price is still too high, so we have to think of a way to see if we can go down. ”
The scholar thinks about it and says, "Then we can only look at how to improve the use of heat and reduce the dissipation." ”
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please continue to work hard, I am grateful to you on behalf of the Party Central Committee and the people." ”
The old farmer hurriedly said, "This is all for us people." It's all as it should be, and we will definitely reduce the cost. ”
Jiang Cheng and Chairman Mao left the glass house together, Jiang Cheng said, "Chairman, such earthen houses have also appeared in later generations, but the price is still too high to cause large-scale popularity. ”
Chairman Mao asked, "What about your opinion?" ”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Even if such seedlings can increase the people's food by two percent, but the cost is greater than these increased grains, the people will not buy it, and the future generations will actually use plastic film, and we now have an oil factory." I think I can try to research and produce it, this film can be said to be extremely cheap in the future, he uses sunlight to heat, and it is also convenient to use. ”
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange this matter, by the way, what do you gain from going out this time?" ”
Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "Our air force has fallen, and pilots and ground crews are training in Germany and the United States. Aircraft motors were manufactured in later generations and assembled in Laiyan'an. We also need to have our own aircraft factory. ”
Chairman Mao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I will select the pilot immediately, Xiao Jiang, I have a piece of information here, you see, is there any way?" As he spoke, Chairman Mao handed Jiang Cheng a document.
Jiang Cheng looked at it quickly. However, it is said that after the Nanjing Massacre, Japan seized a large number of gold cultural relics and prepared to transport them away, and now it can be determined that they have arrived in Shanghai.
Chairman Mao sighed and said, "I remember that you blew up and sank the devil's warship last time, see if you can find a way to do it again, let these things sink into the sea, and we will fish in the future It is better than being snatched by the devil." ”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'm willing to go to Shanghai to have a look." But I'm worried that the Japanese will take things away before they find out. ”
Chairman Mao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the little devil won't be so fast." The comrades in the south reported that the little devils were collecting gold everywhere, and they were not satisfied. ”
Jiang Cheng said with reassurance, "Then I will immediately go to Wuhan to find my manpower, and ask the organization to mobilize the intelligence agencies in Shanghai, we must intercept these things to prevent the loss of our country's wealth." ”
Chairman Mao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I will let the comrades of Teko find a way to get accurate information, but you must pay attention, your safety is the most important, don't risk yourself, even if we use thousands of tons of gold, we will never find a Jiang Cheng again." ”
Jiang Cheng patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chairman, I'm very timid." ”
Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "Even your identity can tell us a few, you are not cowardly, you are bold, okay, go ahead, pay attention to safety." ”
After Jiang Cheng left, Chairman Mao immediately found the comrades in charge of Yanchang Chemical, and assigned the new task, at this time the chemical plant has begun to produce lubricants, naphtha, asphalt and other by-products, but for plastic products have not yet been produced, after receiving the order of the central government, Yanchang Chemical Plant began a new technical breakthrough, fortunately at this time Yan'an's scientific research ability has been greatly improved, many chemists came to Yan'an to join the chemical plant, and there is technical guidance from later generations, It is only a matter of time before a qualified agricultural film is produced.
-- Nanjing
At this time, a month has passed since the fall of Nanjing, Zhou Weiguo left Nanjing with a slag beard and rags, he carried a girl on his back, and the soldiers around him escorted the two to flee to the north quickly, and there were nearly 100 Japanese soldiers chasing after them, but they died one after another on various tricks and traps.
Finally, everyone came to the defense area of the national army, and the Japanese army did not dare to chase after them.
Zhou Weiguo put the woman down, looked at everyone and said, "Let's go, we must hand over the things to Mr. Jiang immediately, these are all evidence of the Japanese army's crimes, we must make everything in Nanjing public." (To be continued.) )
