Ye Li and Kang Di had a great harvest during the following agricultural visits.

They were not surprised that there were many livestock in the countryside on the island, nor were they surprised that almost every village had a pot and camel machine well------ they were surprised that the output of the farmland here was order-based!

According to the farmers who accompanied them, the grain merchants basically booked in advance what crops they planted!

Ye Li asked curiously, "Then how did you contact the grain merchants?" ”

The farmer said,

"You don't have to go to them------ every year there will be grain merchants in the village who send people to set up a field, send out orders, specify what they need, and take what they are willing to take, and if they are not willing to take it, they will plant the crops they want to plant.

Before the beginning of spring this year, I received a list of old varieties of rice and planted a full 50 acres! ”

Ye Li knew some things about the farm, and immediately asked: "The yield of the old variety of rice is less than half of that of the new variety, aren't you losing your capital?!" ”

The peasant laughed and said, "Oh, how can I not know? The grain merchant specified that he wanted the original variety, and gave it a high price, and I calculated that it was more suitable than planting a new variety!

But then again, the yield of the new variety is high------ but the taste is not as good as the old variety------- if people are full, they will pick and choose.

I heard that there are large families who want to eat rice in the past------ as long as they give money, we will plant whatever they want to eat! ”

Kang Di nodded again and again, the yield of the auspicious varieties that circulated on Liuqiu Island back then was amazing, but the taste was indeed worse than the old varieties with low yields before.

This is just like the corn god seed, the yield is high, but the flour is far less delicious than wheat flour.

Kang Di asked: "I heard that there was a case of cheap grain hurting farmers in the past two years------ has your village encountered this incident?" ”

The peasant shook his head and said:

"There is an imperial grain depot in our county, and when the price of grain is high, the purchase price there does not appear to be high, and we can find other grain merchants to sell at high prices; When the price of grain is low, the purchase price there does not seem to be low, and they will buy as much as they sell to them, according to the quality and quantity------"

Ye Li's eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood that the so-called imperial grain depot was the foundation of the federal empire for agriculture!

With its existence, any profiteer who wants to fry grain will not succeed------

Ye Li asked again: "How many people in your family come to plant fifty acres of land?" ”

"My family has two buffaloes, a calf------ there were two sons in the family, the eldest son got married, here with me to farm, the younger son can not read and should help the family farm, but he thinks it is lonely here, a person went to Badaohe City, there to work in the bearing factory, after two years, he became a technician.

He comes back once a month, and now he earns more than his whole family!

I heard him say that he fell in love with a Korean woman in the hemp mill, who was also a workshop supervisor------ and would not come back if he got married.

He also persuaded me to bring his mother and relatives to live with me, saying that I would enjoy Qingfu.

I can't go, it's too noisy to live day and night------ what will happen to my two big cows if I go? And what about the calves?!

They are as sensible as human beings, and I am reluctant to send them to the homes of cattle breeders to raise them on my behalf------"

This is a happy and hard-working homesteaders.

The village they went to was basically full of people like this, and it is said that they were all people who came to live and live here in the early days.

Later, they went to several private farms, which are said to have been purchased by large merchants, large families, and large families who came here to buy land in the later period.

There, they saw what it means to industrialize agriculture!

One person can't plant ten acres of paddy fields, two laborers plus livestock can plant fifty acres, but two hundred laborers plus livestock and pot camel machine equipment can plant 10,000 acres!

Some of those laborers were of the same clan, they had shares in the farms, some were hired from outside, they were paid monthly salaries------ and they were purchased slaves, both and whites.

I heard that the farmers in this county will also send people around to teach agricultural techniques according to the season, how to sow organic pesticides, how to chase organic fertilizers, all of which are explained.

In fact, Ye Li and Kang Di have never understood it, saying that it is pesticides and agricultural fertilizers, which is understandable, but why do you add the word organic?!

Ye Li was ruthless and honestly asked the young people who took them to visit.

They immediately gave detailed answers.

It turns out that organic means that it contains absolutely carbon, and inorganic means that it can not contain carbon------ organic matter is the product of life and the basis of life.

Hehe, carbon, he knows, "Elementary School Chemistry" mentioned.

When they finally returned to the Imperial Hotel, everyone listened to Wu Dapeng's lecture and felt that they understood a lot of reasons.

Slowly, everyone also began to get involved, sometimes arguing a few words.

Some people mentioned the importance of industry, because the profits and taxes of industrial output are huge!

Some people mentioned the importance of agriculture because agricultural output is the foundation of society!

There are also people who mention the importance of education------- and there are also people who mention the importance of business!

Wu Dapeng was patient, sat down and listened to them shake their heads and tails on the stage to express their views and opinions, and also pretended to take notes.

In the end, he couldn't stand their biased views at every turn, closed his notebook, and decided that he had to let them go in a big circle!

Wu Dapeng arranged a three-masted clipper boat and asked them to take them to Shandong, Yalu River Estuary Free Trade Zone, Jeju Island, Iwamikook Free Trade Zone, and finally to western Australia.

What started to be a month has now become half a year.

The cost of the budget has also multiplied several times!

Zhang Anguo has actually never been interested in this method, he saw Wu Dapeng busy alone, and thought he was not worth it.

Zhang Anguo said: "You let the cat pull the car, the cat will definitely pull the car under the bed------- their IQ is indeed no problem, but the thinking has been solidified, the horizon is narrow and low, you, think about the middle-aged primary and secondary school teachers in the world, they have knowledge and IQ, but which one is not extremely conservative in thought?!"

I'm afraid of wasting my efforts! ”

Wu Dapeng gritted his teeth and said: "If you are poor, you will think about change, if a middle-aged intellectual has become like this, and he still feels like Beier Shuang every day, he is really happy today, that is really incorrigible------ they at least dare to come and see, and they also want to seize any opportunity, then give them another chance!" ”

Zhang Anguo sighed, he knew that Wu Dapeng had a ruthlessness that would not be finished until he achieved his goal, so he went to work by himself.

Sending those people to see the development of various regions is not a way to do it, and it is not enough to just look at the information.

Wu Dapeng hopes that they can see different development models in different regions, learn to adapt measures to local conditions, learn to consider the whole situation, know or understand some modern technologies, and accept some modern management concepts-------

Song Ziqiang scoffed at his ambition and said: "Come on, don't you want them to go to South America and spread culture among the Incas, their current level is enough, you are too advanced!" ”

Wu Dapeng nodded in approval and said, "I know that in terms of the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, it is more than enough to conquer an Inca or something, but I think it will be branded with us!" ”

"We have guns and cannons, you do this more!"

"Having guns and cannons can only conquer the flesh and pour our culture into their brains, that is the impact of a lifetime, you don't understand ------"
