Chapter 273: Moon Farm
The lunar base has been fully completed by now, and due to the different environments of the lunar base and the space city, the scale of the lunar base is many times larger than that of the space city, and now there is more than one lunar base on the moon.
There are dozens of lunar bases of different sizes on the moon today, but most of these lunar bases are lunar mining bases with the same function.
The rest of these are the bases inhabited by humans, but each of these inhabited bases is much larger than the space city compared to the space city.
And the population size of these lunar living bases is basically more than that of the space city, after all, the environment of the moon is definitely much better than that in space, and because the moon has water resources necessary for life, these bases on the moon do not have to send water resources to the earth, and because of years of research and efforts.
Now human beings also have this huge lunar farm on the moon, although these moon farms have not been able to completely provide the necessary food for these bases on the moon so far, after all, the environment of the moon is too different from the earth, so the output of these farms on the moon is not up to 1/3 of the earth, although this is the case, but these moon farms can also provide more than 1/5 of the various food and fruits necessary for life for all the bases of the entire moon combined.
After all, the environment on the moon is different from that in space, and the moon still has soil anyway, as long as the soil on the moon is scientifically proportioned, these soils can still grow various crops.
Unlike the space farms in space, all the soil and water necessary for life need to be provided by the earth, although the earth's space technology is very advanced now.
It is now very convenient to travel to and from the Earth-Moon space, and you can even go there anytime and anywhere, but in fact, if it is not for the study of space agriculture, the Ming Empire will not build a space farm in space at all, after all, every small space farm, the Ming Empire consumes a lot of money and various forces in it, if it is not for Zhu Lei to provide part of the funds in it, then with the official strength of the Ming Empire, it is also very difficult to be responsible for so many projects and various research in space, It could even lead to a fiscal deficit.
Now there are nearly 10 million people working on the entire moon, and it is already very remarkable to be able to provide 1/5 of the food for so many people, after all, the moon is still inferior to the earth in any aspect, especially in terms of living environment.
……
Song Jiancheng was originally a small landowner of the Ming Empire before the unification of the world, and he had hundreds of acres of land in the coastal areas of the Ming Empire, although compared with some big landlords, the land he owned was really not enough, but these hundreds of acres of land were also accumulated by their family for generations, after all, the Ming Empire is not more expensive than other countries, and the price of land is several times more expensive than other countries, after all, the land in the Ming Empire is the lifeblood, if it is not in a very difficult situation, Generally speaking, no one will sell land.
However, with these hundreds of acres of land, compared to those who have no land or have very little land, a few hundred acres of land is already a lot, after all, the land of the Ming Empire is too expensive.
And the Ming Empire generally implements intensive cultivation in agriculture, after all, there are traditions and various reasons, such as the large-scale mechanized cultivation of those large farms outside the Ming Empire, there are really not many in the Ming Empire, so the farmers of the Ming Empire still trust their own hands, thinking that the use of machinery is not reliable.
However, Song Jiancheng is different from others, he is very yearning for large-scale mechanized agriculture, but because he only has a few hundred acres of land, so he can not use mechanized production on a large scale, originally a long time ago when the Ming Empire did not unify the world, he also thought about immigrating abroad, selling all the land left by these ancestors at a high price, and then buying a large farm abroad.
But as a landlord class of the Ming Empire, especially the landlord class with a certain inheritance, his heart does not allow himself to leave the Ming Empire, because in his opinion, immigrating abroad means betraying the Ming Empire, which means that she has no face to face her ancestors, especially if many countries want to buy farms, especially those large-scale farms, then they must change their nationality to their country, but for Song Jiancheng, this is absolutely impossible. If you want her to change her nationality, it is more difficult than killing him, not to mention that the Ming Empire is very strong now, and he is not unable to survive to the extent that he has to change his nationality, not to mention that he himself is also a scholar class, and he has the status of a showman, such an identity does not allow him to change his nationality and immigrate abroad.
So he could only shake his head and there was no other way, but 20 years ago, things took a turn for the better, that is, the Ming Empire unified the world with thunderous means, and also opened a portal to Pangu Star, which suddenly made the global land price to the brink of collapse, and it was better in the Ming Empire itself, after all, the entire Ming Empire has a population of more than 2 billion, and landless farmers are everywhere, as long as the price of land is lowered a little, there is no fear that these lands will not be sold.
But in other places, it is different, especially in the original countries where the population is sparse and wide, the price of their land suddenly became the price of cabbage, and even the price of cabbage is not as good, so he seized this opportunity to sell his land in the coastal area of the Ming Empire at once, and bought a huge farm in the area of the original rice country, this farm is very large, with an area of dozens of kilometers.
If it weren't for the extraordinary period, he didn't have to think about such a large area of farms, and he couldn't buy such a farm without hundreds of millions of banknotes, but in this extraordinary period, he used the price of hundreds of acres of land he sold and a small amount of bank loans, and successfully won this vast farm, which suddenly made it a real big landowner, after all, with such a large farm, there is no such a large farm in the Ming Empire, of course, except for those nobles who have a small number of fiefs, However, even among the vast aristocracy of the Ming Empire, the area of land that can be compared with it can be counted on one hand, and most of these people are relatives of the emperor, these fiefs are left by their ancestors, and they cannot be sold, and there are strict restrictions in many aspects.
But the farm he bought was different, because it had been stipulated when the Ming Empire unified the world, and the autonomous region of the Americas maintained the original law unchanged for 100 years, so Tang's farm restrictions were very few, and even he could raise an army on his own farm.
