Chapter 825 Agricultural Achievements

The most active people who read newspapers are actually not big Chinese.

The messengers and spies of various countries are the most loyal readers.

Although the reports in Dahua newspapers are true and false, they can still gain a lot of useful confidence by reading the newspapers.

Of course, their gains are basically equivalent to struggling to the death, and they can't control the general trend.

Carlos, Ambassador of Spain to China.

He ate fried dough sticks, drank soy milk, and held Zhang Dahua Daily in his hand.

Today's Dahua Daily reported the five-year development results of Yongxing.

These are the places that Carlos cares about. He needs to understand the development speed and current situation of Dahua, and send this information back to China, so that the high-level domestic leaders can choose their China strategy based on this information.

[In the five years of Yongxing, China has produced a total of 40 million tons of grain, achieving a per capita daily ration of two catties. Among them, about 20 million tons of rice, 8 million tons of wheat, and 3 million tons of corn. Potatoes, soybeans, sweet potatoes, sorghum and other grains are nine million tons...]

The number of 40 million tons is actually very difficult for Carlos to imagine what the concept is. In short, there are many, many.

However, Clos can feel the effect of this grain production figure from the living standard of Dahua people.

In the five years of Yongxing, Dahua's breeding industry has developed rapidly, and a large amount of meat has entered the homes of ordinary people.

This alone is enough to show how abundant Dahua's food is.

The breeding industry consumes a lot of grain. Although Dahua has now developed feed, the feed is also made of grain.

The prosperity of the breeding industry and the prosperity of the wine industry is the best proof of the bumper harvest of grain.

In addition to aquaculture, Dahua's fishing industry has also developed rapidly this year.

This year, Da Huaguang killed as many as 2,000 whales.

This one item alone provided Dahua with 100,000 tons of meat.

The catch of other fish is no less than that of whales.

If you ask Dahua people what the biggest change in Yongxing's five years is, they will definitely answer that they have eaten meat many times this year.

"I'm really envious. Don't let ordinary people in China know about Dahua's life, otherwise they may try their best to come to Dahua."

Carlos sighed with emotion.

The living standards of the people of the two countries are simply one in the sky and one in the ground.

[The chemical fertilizer synthesis technology has made a breakthrough, and the cost has dropped by 40%. It is estimated that in the sixth year of Yongxing, China will use a lot of chemical fertilizers, and grain production will increase by more than 50%. 】

The optimistic estimates in the newspaper made Carlos cry without tears.

Dahua's output is already enough, and the growth rate is still so fast. He didn't even understand why Dahua needed so much food.

Of course he didn't know that Dahua's current population was in a period of explosion.

People in the age group from ten to fourteen or fifteen years old accounted for a very large proportion.

And people of this age group are the most able to eat, one person can even eat the food of two adults.

"We must find a way to steal Dahua's fertilizer technology, which is even more important than steam engines. As long as we can increase grain production, we can feed more people."

Carlos recited it in his mind, one of the major reasons that currently restricts the development of Spain is the small population.

Although Spain has sunset, there are still many colonies. Spain has not been able to fully digest it in Mexico and Latin America, because their population is too small.

As long as enough people migrate to Latin America, they can localize Latin America.

Indigenization and colonization are fundamentally different.

Colonization can only suck blood from the colony, it cannot turn the colony into the real power of Spain.

In terms of overseas colonization, Carlos very much agrees with Dahua's strategy. It must be localized, completely conquered, and assimilated, otherwise it will be of little significance.

Henan, Shangqiu, a farmer is reclaiming land.

In fact, the current area of ​​arable land in Dahua is far smaller than that of later generations.

Even in a plain area like Shangqiu, there is still some land that can be reclaimed.

There was no reclamation before, mainly because of wars, lack of time, lack of farm tools, lack of food and energy, and many other reasons.

Now, these problems have been solved by Dahua.

As for Dahua's policy of 50 acres of land per family, it is not a problem in the eyes of these people.

They are just ignorant, not stupid, and they are not inferior to anyone when it comes to being clever.

A family can only grow 50 acres, so split up the family.

In the past, a family usually consisted of three generations living together, with a dozen or twenty members.

Now, these families tend to be divided into small families of several members.

A small family with a few members has limited ability to cultivate, and it is not known what year and month it will take to reach the upper limit.

Therefore, the policy of the 50-acre cap will not affect them, only those big landlords.

For this kind of behavior of the people, the government does not care, and even gives support.

Anyway, the more land is reclaimed, the more beneficial it is to Dahua, and it is also a political achievement for local officials.

As for the reclaimed land not being able to collect too much tax, there is no problem at all.

The means of making money of the Dahua court have long since separated from the low-level form of taxation, and more rely on the manufacture of industrial products in exchange.

Fortunately, these people have worked hard for a lifetime, and they may save a car or a house in the city if they save some money.

child, or a harvester to absorb light.

In Quyang, Hebei, a farmer received potato seeds from the government.

The Little Ice Age has not yet passed, the precipitation in the north is very low, and the temperature is also low. In the past, wheat could be planted, but now there is no guarantee of continuing to grow wheat.

There is no hybrid wheat in Dahua, and the people in the north can only look to the south and sigh.

To this end, Dahua widely promotes potato cultivation in the north.

This thing has strong adaptability, low environmental and climate requirements, and large output.

Although it is not customary to use it as a staple food, a meal of potatoes and a meal of noodles is still acceptable.

What's more, potatoes can also be sold to the south for cooking, and they can also go to the south to exchange for rice.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, growing potatoes is already better than wheat.

Northeast, where Dahua is promoting the cultivation of corn.

There is a lot of fertile land in the northeast. At present, Dahua is also increasing the development of the northeast region, and many people have migrated from the customs.

Although it is very cold in the northeast, Dahua has now mastered the technology of briquettes and is widely used in the north.

With honeycomb heating, a large amount of reclaimable land, and farm tools and seeds provided by the government, it has become a good choice to go to the northeast to make a living.

In the five years of Yongxing, Dahua has achieved quite good results in agriculture.

If this trend continues, Dahua's grain output will continue to grow for many years.

The food problem that has plagued the world for thousands of years has been completely solved in Dahua.
