A report can solve the problems faced by the Agricultural Affairs Division, but Matsumoto's words made Tang Haoran, who had intentionally avoided some questions recently, frown again,

Land is precisely one of the issues that has been disputed in the government recently, and even to some extent, to the point of no solution. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info on the one hand is private selfishness, but on the other hand? It is the public interest of the Governor's Palace!

According to preliminary statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, there are as many as 600 million mu of "ownerless wasteland" in the three northeastern provinces, and there are more than 1 billion mu of flag land, including grassland. These lands are the wealth of the Governor's Office, and if they are properly utilized, at least if they are leased in the form of "public land renting", the Governor's Office will be able to obtain billions of dollars of wealth over the next ten years or so, not just tens of millions of immediate profits.

However, in the past two months, how to distribute the land and how to reclaim it has been a matter of contention in the government, and although Tang Haoran deliberately put the issue on hold, continued to expand the size of the reclamation group, and signed an order to implement the "lease of public land", this did not prevent some officials from mentioning the issue of reclamation at the meeting.

In the past, when he was in North Korea, Tang Haoran, as the commander of North Korea, was worried about the lack of land, but now he is worried about how to distribute so much land, how to use it, and how to reclaim hundreds of millions of acres of wasteland. How to reclaim 100 million mu of cultivated land is undoubtedly the most pressing issue facing the unified supervision government, and the reason why this problem is urgent could not be simpler -- population.

After the massacre at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the centuries-old ban of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the so-called "Land of Longxing", the three northeastern provinces can be described as truly vast and sparsely populated, with more than 1 million square kilometers of land. The population is even less than seven million. Most of them are concentrated in Liaoning. The vast majority of Jilin and Heilongjiang areas can be described as sparsely populated, and even Liaoning, which is "thriving", is also full of wasteland. It was the sparse population that made Russia ambitious for the Northeast.

Whether it is for the need to consolidate border defense, or the need for its own strength and future development, it is required that the northeast region needs to bring in human resources as much as possible, and land is undoubtedly the best "bait". Nevertheless, on the issue of recruiting people for colonization, because there was no consensus within the Governor's Palace. Of course, the most important thing is that because of the difference in interests, Tang Haoran can only "go his own way" and use the agricultural reclamation group for unified reclamation.

Another consequence of unified reclamation was the freezing of land, which was the freezing of all non-governmental reclamation and land transactions, which was necessary to ensure that land resources were not lost, and to secure the "property" of the Governor's Palace. For example, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of millions of banner lands in Northeast China were sold by the upper echelons of the banner people or sheltered under the names of Han landlords, resulting in the loss of huge wealth.

Of course, this is only a name, and it has not been "thawed" until now, but in order to avoid the collusion between the reclamation company and the local government, a large amount of land has been lost. That's why. The Governor's Office will freeze all land transactions since May this year, during which they have been illegal. The first rate is invalidated, so as to ensure that public property will not be lost. Although this freeze is somewhat arbitrary, it minimizes the transfer of property.

On the other hand, the freezing of land transactions has led to the need for all kinds of public land to be approved by the Governor's Office, and now the construction of the agricultural experimental field station naturally requires land, of course, the consent of the Governor's Office, in fact, it is Tang Haoran's own consent, without his signature and consent, even if the transaction of a piece of land is illegal, not only will it not be protected by law, but once it is found that the transaction is made after the freezing order is signed and issued, the transaction land will also be confiscated.

Tang Haoran, who knows the importance of agricultural experiments, will naturally not be stingy with agricultural experiment land, not to mention that there is no more legitimate reason than this, so he immediately said.

"Well, I think each experimental station can be based on 10,000 mu first, and if it is a livestock pasture, you can consider increasing it tenfold......"

Now Tang Haoran, who is "wealthy", is naturally a number that can scare people, but the reason why he is so generous is because of some of his father's experience -- the experimental field of the research institute has never been enough. Tang Haoran, who knows that agriculture is the fundamental industry of China in this era, will naturally not be stingy with those few acres of ownerless land.

In the surprise of Matsumoto and the others, Tang Haoran continued.

"However, these lands are not given to you in vain, in addition to the experimental station for agricultural experiments, you also have to organize personnel to investigate the local soil environment, and provide theoretical support for the reclamation and pastoral areas divided by the Governor's Mansion in the future, understand?"

"Hey, rest assured, we will not let the Governor down!"

When Matsumoto patted his chest and said his word, Tang Haoran just smiled disapprovingly, but there was a hint of worry in his smile, and the reason for this worry was precisely another reason why he was separated from the people in the unified supervision office - the desertification of the three northeastern provinces was a neglected problem in later generations.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, especially in the last years of Guangxu, the implementation of the "New Deal" in Northeast China, the central content of which was "opening up the wilderness" and "immigrating to the real border", the result of reclamation was that the ecological environment in Northeast China was unprecedentedly damaged, especially the black soil that had developed in the eastern grassland area for thousands of years was only a dozen centimeters thick, which was quickly eroded under the combined action of man-made destruction and wind blowing, and the sand layer under it was activated, and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of black soil were reduced to fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes. And this is just the beginning, by the mid-to-late 20th century, several agricultural upsurges, the black soil in the northeast was pushed to desertification in an all-round way. In particular, under the guidance of the idea of "marching to the grassland", in the so-called vast world, under the chainsaws and chainsaws in the hands of the so-called burning generation, a large area of forests and seas turned into barren mountains and bald mountains; Under the tracks of Dongfanghong tractors and heavy ploughs, hundreds of millions of acres of grassland were ploughed into grain fields, and then turned into deserts, and crazy people destroyed everything there like locusts.

In the past few decades, driven by politics and money, people have been frantically cutting down forests, frantically cultivating grasslands that will become deserts in a few years, and the desert area is expanding day by day.

A painful lesson from another time and space. How can Tang Haoran ignore it. Perhaps in this era, there is no political fanaticism that drives those "passionate youth" to go to the vast world to "do something". But the temptations of the economy are often overwhelming, and the nearly 1,000 reclamation companies may be even more devastating, and when those reclamation companies make billions of dollars in twenty or thirty years later, what is left? It is a desolate desert, and the government will exhaust billions of dollars of wealth to manage the desert. And this is the fundamental reason why Tang Haoran is vigilant against the reclamation company -- capital is always profit-seeking! If a crack is opened for them, their profit-seeking nature will prompt them to turn that gap into a broad road. That's why Tang Haoran fundamentally stopped them from getting involved in reclamation.

While ensuring the destructive reclamation of the reclamation company. It is also necessary to ensure that the reclamation groups do not carry out devastating reclamation, and the best way to avoid destructive reclamation is to scientifically divide the agricultural and pastoral areas according to geological and soil conditions.

"Although the black soil in the northeast is rich, not everywhere is suitable for farming, and under the black soil layer in many plain areas, there is a huge thick layer of sand, which has the potential risk of desertification, although these black soils have natural fertility in the early stage of cultivation because of the humus content of the soil, and the harvest will be good in the early stage of cultivation, but after two or three years. Without the fixation of grass roots, the action of wind will accelerate the erosion of black soil. The plough will lead to the activation of the underlying sand layer, and the land will eventually become a desert, so ......"

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran looked at Takashi Matsumoto and said earnestly,

"That's why we need to do a good job in the survey of agricultural and pastoral areas and demarcate the boundaries of agricultural and pastoral areas, so that we can scientifically carry out reclamation work in the northeast without causing devastating damage to the environment." So as to avoid the desertification of the land, rational and scientific use of the land! ”

For this era, Tang Haoran's "environmental protection concept" is undoubtedly extremely advanced, and even incomprehensible, but whether it is Matsumoto or others, the obedience and compliment to authority in the traditional concept of Oriental people have solved everything, although they cannot be understood, but for the requirements put forward by adults in the name of science, they immediately show oriental obedience and compliment.

"Your Lord's foresight is far beyond my generation's reach, please rest assured, we will not disappoint your Lord."

In the sycophants of Matsumoto and others, while sighing at the beauty of power, Tang Haoran, who knew very well that they could not understand the importance of environmental protection at all, decisively waved his hand to interrupt their compliments.

"I can't talk about foresight, I'm only half an expert in agriculture, but the real expert is you, Hashili, your report on the development of sheep farming. I think it's good! ”

Turning his gaze to Hashitachi Jiro behind Matsu himself, his face was full of surprise, and Hashitachi Jiro obviously did not expect his report to attract the attention of the Governor-General.

"My lord, I, that's just a momentary lie......"

Thinking of some people's accusations against that report, Hashitachi Jiro hurriedly humbled himself.

"Hashitachi, aren't you telling the truth?"

Looking at Qiao Li with a smile, Tang Haoran casually quoted his report, which caused some controversy.

"Most of the three eastern provinces are natural grassland areas, rich in sheep, horses, cattle and other livestock and wool and other livestock products, raising millions of sheep and a large number of horses, cattle and other livestock. However, the original Mongolian sheep raised in this area have low wool production and poor wool quality, which is not suitable for wool spinning industry raw materials. Therefore, from the perspective of economy and national defense, in order to gradually achieve wool self-sufficiency and save the huge amount of foreign exchange spent on imported wool, this place was used as a base for sheep improvement, and the original Mongolian sheep were improved to achieve the purpose of increasing wool production and improving wool quality. Therefore, the improvement of sheep production should be regarded as one of the important contents of the future agricultural policy of the three eastern provinces. ”

When quoting the content of the report, Tang Haoran looked at Hashitachi meaningfully, at least compared to the Chinese people of this era, these Japanese who had received modern Western education have a development vision, whether it is military uniforms or future life needs, they need a large amount of high-quality wool, and the scarcity of high-quality wool resources naturally leads to a surge in imports, and Hashitachi's suggestion is to improve the sheep to meet the future market demand before the market demand surges.

This is naturally a far-sighted development proposal, but it has been opposed by some officials, because although the quality of local wool is poor, the quantity is extremely large, and most of it is abandoned, and the improvement of fine wool sheep with high wool production will naturally not be accepted by the people. That is, the inevitable.

"Your Excellency. You. Have you read my report? ”

Looking at the adults in surprise, Hashidatejiro's face was full of surprise, and he quickly added after receiving an affirmative answer.

"My lord, there are many officials who think that the demand for wool is not high, which leads to the abandonment of a large amount of wool, but in fact, it is because of the poor quality of the wool that it is abandoned. I have consulted some experts in wool spinning, they think that the local sheep wool production is not high and the wool quality is poor, although it is not suitable for wool spinning raw materials, but if it is mixed with Australian high-quality wool, it can also be used in the wool industry, although it can only produce coarse wool, but the market for cheap wool is extremely extensive, I think it is possible to implement wool control in the northeast, use cheap local wool to establish an export-oriented wool industry, and improve local sheep. Laying the foundation for the future development of the wool industry......"

Although he is only an expert in animal husbandry, Hashitajiro also has some opinions on economics. In the past, when he was in Japan, many of his words and opinions could not be implemented due to the small size of the country and the barren resources of Japan, but now that he has the vast world of Tohoku, he naturally wants to make a difference.

The Japanese investigators' economic survey of the Manchurian and Mongolian regions made Hashitachi Jiro understand that many areas of Northeast China are more suitable for the development of livestock than agriculture, and sheep breeding is a "new industry" to meet market demand, just as since the Meiji Restoration, the changes in clothing have caused a surge in Japanese woolen imports, which is an unavoidable reality in the future of Northeast China and China, so it is necessary to prepare in advance. But his report was not understood by officials.

“…… The local original sheep belong to the meat type, the wool production is not high, the wool quality is poor, not suitable for wool spinning raw materials, the average wool production of each sheep is about 1 kg. I believe that by introducing high-quality Australian sheep and improving them with local sheep, the average wool yield will be more than four-fold......"

Tang Haoran is not clear about the importance of wool, but at least he knows that whether it is a sweater or a Western-style clothing, wool is needed, although Tang Haoran is a hardcore Hanfuist, and even wears Hanfu when he is in the back house, and by promoting the revival of Hanfu to achieve the purpose of awakening the people, but out of understanding the future, he knows that even after the revival of Hanfu, it can only exist in some specific occasions like kimonos, becoming a symbol of the nation, existing in such as weddings, In coming-of-age ceremonies and special festivals, it is the same as the attitude of Japan and Korea towards traditional clothing.

It is inevitable that the development of history will make convenient and neat Western-style clothing the mainstream of clothing, just as Western-style military uniforms replace the old number uniforms, just like the new army, if it were not for the fact that imported woolen is too expensive, I am afraid that winter clothing will consider woolen jackets instead of twill cotton clothes. The change in clothing means a surge in the demand for wool, which in turn will lead to the demand for wool, so that the improvement of sheep is a must for the development of the industry.

And more importantly, after the division of agricultural and pastoral areas, sheep breeding will become the basis of the income of the people in the pastoral area, and the fourfold increase in the wool production of sheep means that the income of the people will increase fourfold, which will undoubtedly be conducive to the future development of the pastoral area.

"My lord, it will take more than ten years to improve the sheep breed, and it will take more than 20 years, if you wait until the market needs wool and then breed, when the sheep breed is successfully cultivated, I am afraid that hundreds of millions of wealth have been lost, my lord ......."

After a slight pause, Hashidate Jiro took a deep breath and said.

"Since adults can see the importance of dividing agricultural and pastoral areas according to different lands, they can naturally understand this, but unfortunately, many officials cannot look at many problems with the same far-sightedness as adults!"

Although he knew that this was sycophant, it was quite useful in Tang Haoran's heart, but no, in terms of land distribution and other things, many people simply couldn't understand that they had no intention of large-scale reclamation, and it seemed to be for a little "official benefit" of the Governor's Palace, but they never thought that they were also for the protection of the environment, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is still for the future - there are too many landless and landless poor people in the country, how to resettle them in the future?

The best choice for immigrants, and the most suitable place for immigrants in China at the moment is only the northeast, and large-scale disorderly reclamation will undoubtedly lead to a sharp reduction in the land resources controlled by the government. However, for some people, what they hope for is that under the pretext of "real borders" or even enriching the financial resources of the government, they advocate comprehensive reclamation, so that the reclamation company can get a piece of fat in the reclamation.

"Visionary?"

Thinking of some people's selfishness, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, Tang Haoran looked at the cornfield in front of him that carried hope for the future and said slowly.

"Hashitachi, you don't have to pat me on the back, agricultural experiments, there is always a certain need to be forward-looking, the same is true for running a business, the sheep improvement plan is the same as other agricultural plans, it is based on future needs, not immediate benefits......"

Immediate benefits...... Until he left the agricultural experimental field, Tang Haoran was still thinking about a question in his heart - how to reconcile all this, how to make everyone able to combine the immediate benefits with the future benefits?
