Chapter 1320 Train (Ⅱ)

At first, Joan thought that the short-haired Ross beast in the Far East was born with such excellent endurance and was suitable for long-distance running. It wasn't until he inquired with the flight attendant that he learned that the Roth beast native to the Far East was actually the same as the breed in the New World, and it was also a long-haired highland Roth beast.

These short-haired breeds that pull trains are all breeds that have been specially bred and improved. On the Kitland plateau in the north, there is a famous "Dragon City Ranch". The Far East Prince Roland Colas funded and set up a research institute in the ranch, specializing in the research of the bloodline improvement of the Lost beast, and the train traction beast. , is the result of this research institute.

Joan is an expert in the field of bloodline enhancement of supernatural creatures. He knows how difficult this job is. Hearing the proud narration by the conductor, he admires those colleagues in the Rose Beast Research Institute.

...

The railway passes through the "whispering jungle", and outside the window is an endless jungle.

From Wufeng Township to Gudi Village, the journey is nearly a hundred miles.

Joan and the others boarded the train at one o'clock in the afternoon, and they expected to ride for four hours on the train.

The train ran calmly following the hands of the pocket watch, and the sun gradually slanted to the west. When dusk fell, the train was about to arrive at the terminal, which was the destination of the three of Qiao An's trip - Gudi Village.

As the train was about to reach its destination, the scenery outside the window also changed significantly. The woodland gradually became sparse, and what appeared in Qiao An's field of vision was a large stretch of wheat fields stretching like the sea, and the golden ears of wheat seemed to be calling for the farmers to come and harvest.

Passengers in the same carriage saw the wheat field that was about to be harvested outside the window, and they all talked about the growth of this crop in a tone full of envy.

Some passengers dressed up as farmers firmly declared that the grain yield per mu in Valley Village this year would never be less than 500 pounds.

Joan's hometown, Delin Town, is a typical agricultural area in the south of the New World. Most of the residents in the town are self-cultivated farmers. He has been rolling in the wheat fields since he was a child. Of course, he knows what an astonishing figure is 500 pounds per mu.

The Far East has been the granary of the Ashan Empire since ancient times, but with the development and reclamation of the New World, the status of the Far East's agricultural areas is also declining.

From his own observation, Joan feels that the land in the Far East is not as fertile as Alfheim, and the cold climate in the North is not as suitable for crop growth as the warm and humid Alfheim. Would it be nearly 200 pounds more than Duringtown?

Passengers around are also talking about this topic.

There are two general consensuses. First of all, we should thank the "Village Druid", the "son of nature" from the "ring of harvest", not only can use magic to increase the yield of crops, but also good at getting rid of diseases and insect pests in the fields, and casting spells to fight against disasters and weather. The first hero to produce a good harvest.

In addition, the agricultural reform measures implemented by the Far East since this spring are also a topic of great interest to the passengers on the bus, and they firmly believe that the contribution of these reform policies to the harvest of crops is even greater than that of the natural magic of the druids.

Joan didn't quite understand the agricultural reform policies formulated and implemented by the Crown Prince of the Far East, Roland Kolas, but judging from the results, these policies did have an immediate effect.

Most of the passengers on the bus are ordinary farmers who don’t know what the “experimental group” and “control group” are, but the peasants also have their own simple wisdom. What they have heard and seen tells them: the 200 villages participating in the agricultural reform pilot, including Gudi Village, Within this year, the grain output this year is much higher than that of other villages that have not carried out agricultural reforms.

From a vertical comparison point of view, most villages that have undergone agricultural reforms have seen a significant increase in grain output compared to previous years, while those that have not undergone reforms have continued to maintain the average level of previous years.

The comparison of the vertical and horizontal two items is enough to show that the agricultural reform vigorously promoted by the Far East authorities was quite successful.

From another point of view, each of the 200 pilot projects participating in the agricultural reform can be assigned a resident druid. It can be seen that the Far Eastern government has the ability to execute efficiently and go deep into the countryside, and the success of any reform is inseparable from Develop the strong execution and implementation capabilities of relevant institutions.

Joan couldn't help thinking about it.

In his hometown, the New World, which is also famous for its developed agriculture, can it follow the reform measures of the people in the Far East to further enhance its agricultural advantages?

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

From Alfheim to Midgard, the colonial terrain of the New World is in a state of disunity, the tradition of township self-government is deeply rooted, and the power of the colonial government is too weak to implement the agricultural reform. There is such a motivation for the Governor-General or the MPs.

The wheels rolled forward, the wheat field was left behind, and a large grassland appeared in front of it, and the half-person tall alfalfa swayed in the wind.

As the train passed through the grassland, a wider green ocean was ushered in front of it, and the tall corn plants converged into thousands of hectares of blue waves.

The 15,000 mu of corn fields are connected into a large area, spreading out along the hot spring valley, like a ten-mile-long emerald green carpet.

The field scenery outside the car window seemed familiar, and Joann recalled the time when he was studying in Port Leiden.

At that time, every weekend, he would rent a horse, ride out of the city, gallop along the dusty road, and visit the Vassar family's Mount Vernon estate.

The farmland passing by on the way is also so vast and boundless. It is either the plantation of the Chap family or the property under the name of the Custis sisters.

With a hint of curiosity, Joan asked the flight attendant: "Excuse me, whose plantation is this cornfield outside the window?"

The flight attendant was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

"Sir, that is not a private plantation, but a state-owned farm, the property of the Valley Village commune."

"If you have to ask who is the owner of this farmland, first of all, of course it is our Far East government. After all, the government owns 50% of the farm's equity and is the largest shareholder of the farm, so it is called a 'state-owned farm', and the rest of the equity is dispersed. It is in the hands of local farmers, so the local commune members are also considered the owners of the farm.”

State farm?

commune?

member?

These unfamiliar words made Joan feel very fresh.

At the same time, he didn't quite understand that farming should be a very simple task. How could a farmer's work be associated with such ungrounded words as "government", "equity", and "shareholders"? complex?

Although what he heard and witnessed made Joan feel very strange, even inexplicable, but judging from the proud smiles on the faces of the passengers on the bus when they talked about these things, the rural life in the Far East seemed to be richer and more comfortable than the rural life in the New World. It is unbelievable that this is a country where the war ended only two years ago.
