Just after the summer heat, under the hot sun, it is only a few noon efforts, the green wheat field will roll up the golden wheat waves, under the spicy sun, facing the hot wind, the golden ears of wheat are colliding with each other, they have been sunburned, the wind makes a "rustling" sound, the long wheat mangs are shaking and shaking in the wind, scratching in people's hearts......

The ripe wheat was cut one by one by the villagers with a sickle, and then tied tightly with straw ropes, and bundled neatly on the wheat stubble field, only to be turned back and milled out on the drying field. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bright sickle was sharpened by the villagers at dawn, and the heavy ears of wheat were full of the villagers' expectations for the year, carrying their hopes for the year.

And on the hillside in the distance, an ear of sorghum stood proudly, and the breeze blew, and an ear of full sorghum swayed in the wind, but the sorghum was not yet ripe. The green sorghum that is still green is grown in the nearby tunzi, and in the northeast only the migrant villages grow wheat, because only these migrant settlements have access to the irrigation services provided by the water conservancy company, which has even provoked conflicts between the tun people and the water conservancy company - they tried to build a canal to divert water like the migrants, but the water conservancy company refused, and when the conflict between the two sides intensified, the tun people even destroyed the water canal, but under the strong suppression of the police and the settlement village Zhuangding group, everything returned to normal. On the premise that the village was reorganized by the protection of the armor, the canal was introduced into the village, and as for the cost, almost no one will mention it.

It is a well-known fact that the status of the "disobedient" tun residents in the government's mind is inferior to that of immigrants, and even if the canals are introduced into the villages, it does not prevent the agricultural companies from providing agricultural services to the resettlement sites - after all, the agricultural companies are the nominal landholders, the largest "landlords" in the northeast, and they are naturally more concerned about the output of the land. As for the output of the villages, it has nothing to do with them. It is precisely for this reason that agricultural companies provide seeds such as wheat, corn, rice, and soybeans according to the region and climate, and send technicians to guide the planting.

In addition to the seeds provided by the agricultural companies, the companies also underwrite the entire production of the settlements, even along with the farmers' food rations. It is also necessary to purchase to ensure that all the land can be put into storage.

"Guantian does not move a grain ......"

Sitting on the ridge of the field, Zhao Laosi, who had just finished harvesting almost two acres of wheat, looked behind him, the bundles of wheat were neatly stacked on the wheat stubble field, and the land had been planted for decades. It can grow to the crotch, let the wind blow and fall, and this wheat is like sorghum, drought resistance, just like sorghum, even this summer when the weather is dry without watering, and there is more, but in the end in addition to dozens of acres of experimental fields. The other fields were still watered with canal water.

But even the wheat in the dozens of acres of unwatered fields left for comparison is also growing gratifyingly, far from being comparable to sorghum. When I was in Kannai, everyone liked to plant sorghum because sorghum was drought tolerant, so no matter how severe the drought was, it could produce some output and a few rains. One acre of land can harvest one hundred and fifty or sixty catties, but wheat is different, if the rain can't catch up, maybe there will be no harvest, so except for the land by the ditch river. No one grows wheat at home. But even so, everyone knows that noodles are better than sorghum rice, but sorghum can fill the belly - it is common for one mu to beat twenty or thirty catties more than wheat, and sometimes if the rain can't keep up, it can produce fifty or sixty catties more. It is precisely because of this that everyone will plant sorghum, but now, in this settled village, the wheat in front of him has completely subverted his understanding.

These wheat not only have a high yield, but also are more drought-tolerant, even if it is dozens of acres of unwatered dry land, it can hit two or three hundred catties at a glance, even if it is drought-tolerant sorghum, it is far from being able to compare, how can this not make Zhao Laosi excited.

"This acre of land is at least 400 catties......"

Although the wheat in this field has not yet been weighed, Zhao Laosi has already calculated its output in his heart, which is completely based on his past experience.

For Zhao Laosi, who has been farming for half his life, he never thought that one acre of land could produce so much grain, and what does this mean? Even if they pay public rent and land tax, the remaining food is enough for their family to eat white flour steamed buns every day, and they eat as much as they want.

"Even the owner of Guanli may not be able to live such a life......

He still remembers the third son in the village who wants to call him the fourth master according to his generation, although there are more than 100 acres of land at home, but eating every day is to eat a bowl of sorghum rice more than others' homes, as for the oil, it is to dip a little bit with chopsticks, speaking of which, it is even worse than their lives......

"You have to be gracious, you have to remember the kindness of the handsome......"

When he was thinking about kindness in his heart, he couldn't help but think of another thing.

"I just can't taste the taste of the flour made from this wheat......

Zhao Laosi muttered in his heart, although they could go to the hall with the supply certificate and grain sales voucher, and buy enough cheap grain from the grain company to eat for the family.

Different from the grain price in the Guannai, because of the relationship between the implementation of grain control, the grain price in the northeast is divided into bargaining grain and parity grain, and the bargaining grain is the price that goes with the market, and the vast majority of the people eat and use this kind of grain, while the parity grain is sold at cost price, and the price is relatively low.

The so-called "cooperative farmers" are based on migrant settlements. According to the agricultural plan of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, the improved seeds bred by the Agricultural Research Institute will be propagated in 36 original seed farms in Northeast China, and then sent to the provincial and county-run farms for further propagation.

Therefore, in order to compensate the "cooperative farmers", the grain companies will sell affordable grain to the migrants with the "refugee food supply certificates" and "purchase certificates" issued by the new immigrants to ensure their motivation.

Because of this, like Zhao Laosi, even if it is a hard year. He couldn't eat a mouthful of wheat from the wheat in the field, so it was no wonder he sighed.

In the cement drying field funded by the agricultural company, the freshly dried wheat is directly packed into cloth bags, and every few bags are weighed one by one. Whenever the wheat was carried into the carriage, Zhao Laosi's heart would always twitch slightly, for people like him, it was a pity that they had worked hard for a season but failed to taste a new mouthful of noodles.

"Big, big, doesn't it mean that you can eat steamed buns made of new noodles after the grain is harvested......"

The boy who had just finished school next to the drying field watched in puzzlement as the wheat was carried into the carriage. How could this have all been pretended. Although they don't eat less white flour steamed buns on weekdays, after all, they are not flour milled from wheat in their own fields, they are all cheap grain.

"Didn't you say that after paying the public grain, the rest is our own?"

The teenager who was reading the book asked aloud in confusion, compared to the only promises of his fathers, these teenagers who had been reading in the school for more than a year. But there was no fear of the people of the city.

"Yes, except for the public rations collected on behalf of the people. The rest are purchased at the order price! ”

The young man's questioning made the clerk of the grain company quickly explain.

The purchase price, which is set by the Control Council, is the price approved by the Governor's Office, and the grain company buys at this price, and any purchase except the grain company is illegal, and the violator is condemned as an "economic offender". In addition to being fined heavily, they are also punished with more than five years of hard labor, which is about 20 percent lower than the price in the Kannai.

Grain control is one of the main channels for obtaining financial profits in Northeast China, and at the same time, grain companies monopolize grain purchases and lower grain prices through purchase prices. Grain companies also have a monopoly on the sale of raw grain, including public flour companies and private mills, which can only buy raw materials from grain companies at nominal prices for milling or rice making, and sell them at nominal prices.

This is precisely the characteristic of the control in the northeast, the control of raw materials and prices, which does not exclude private enterprises, and the control of raw materials and prices ensures that the government can get more agricultural profits for industrial construction.

"There is no way, these wheat will be used for seed production, and next year tens of millions of acres of land will be promoted......"

The clerks explained the purpose of the grain harvest, yes, the wheat planted by the people this year is completely for the preparation of seed production, and for large-scale promotion next year.

"Besides, the flour sold by the company is also new flour......

While the clerks of the grain company were weighing the harvest in the fields and calculating the tax rents collected on their behalf, at the headquarters of the grain company in Dalian, telegrams were constantly gathering here from all over the three provinces, and in the halls, hundreds of accountants were counting the amount of public rent in the migrant settlements.

As far as grain companies are concerned, the public rent of migrant settlements is the most important, and the public rent of tens of millions of acres of land is the foundation of the company, and it is also the foundation of stabilizing market grain prices; compared with Kannai, the reason why grain prices in various parts of Northeast China will not soar due to the collapse of abundance and disasters is entirely due to the grain company's adjustment, and this price adjustment used to rely on imports, but now it needs to rely on public rent -- the foreign exchange quota of grain companies will be reduced from this year onwards, which means that the grain needed in the market such as wheat and rice will be reduced. They all need to solve it through in-app purchases.

"It is expected that about 10 to 130,000 catties of public rental grain can be collected, and in addition, this year's quota is the ...... in the Northeast."

In the conference room of the grain company, smoke filled the air, and in the voice of the staff, the numbers were brought out one by one, although the amount in various places has not yet been counted, but the theoretical value has been calculated.

"Considering that rice exports to Japan and Kannai are currently the most important source of foreign exchange for grain companies, we believe that the DPRK's rice grain quota should be increased this year,"

Foreign exchange, more precisely, the import and export control of gold and silver coins, so that even as a public company, grain companies need to comply with the control, and this year's sudden compression, really made it difficult for grain companies, so they will do everything possible to increase exports to obtain more foreign exchange.

"In this way, it is natural to increase foreign exchange earnings......

Although both the Northeast and North Korea have implemented strict grain control, it does not mean that this is a rigid control, in fact, in addition to the contract purchase price stipulated by the Governor's Office, there is also "bargaining", but only after the completion of the control quota in various places, the grain market will be under the supervision of the grain company, and the producers can buy the grain they need at the "bargaining price", so as to ensure that both agriculture and producers can obtain additional profits.

This is a loophole, but it is a loophole deliberately left behind, which aims to prevent market chaos after the grain control is liberalized when necessary, and to formulate corresponding market norms and systems for the control of the private grain market adopted during the control period, so as to prepare for the future market liberalization.

"North Korea's quota is already very high!"

Shaking his head, Wang Junyi did not agree to increase the control of North Korea.

"At present, North Korea's rice control is 1 million tons, which means that 70% of North Korea's grain is within the control range, and further control is likely to affect North Korea's stability and ......"

As the general manager of the grain company, Wang Junyi must not only consider the company's profits, but also consider stability and whether the people will be able to eat enough after the control. Then he looked up at the crowd and said.

"You must remember that although the purpose of the control is to obtain the necessary funds for construction, it must not be at the cost of starving the peasants, we can make profits by lowering the purchase price and raising the selling price, but we must not let the profits touch the lives of the peasants, even the North Koreans, after all, they are also Chinese......."

Perhaps for the outside world, the grain control system is to avoid "grain merchants exploiting, using public purchases, so that all grain profits go to the people", but in essence, it is just the government and the people competing for profits, but this requires a "degree", beyond that degree, it is likely to lead to a vicious circle affecting industrial development.

"Moreover, excessive control will inevitably affect the consumption of the peasants, and when the time comes, will the industrial consumer goods not be sold, will they only be sold to the people in the cities? Well, instead of trying to find a way to suggest that the committee increase the control of the system, it is better to think about the promotion of improved varieties next year, and coordinate with the agricultural company, if all the resettlement sites are planted with new seeds next year, then next year, the company can hand over at least 50 million, as for this year's ......"

Thinking of the request from the Governor's Mansion, Wang Junyi took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"I'll explain it myself......" (To be continued.) )
