Chapter 517: Developing Liaodong (3)
Li Ming, Wang He, and Wang Fuhai, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, walked together on the farmland on the north bank of the Hunhe River today. The old man is over 60 years old, and the company was originally going to arrange for him to go to the Science and Technology Commission, but the old man Wang refused to live or die, and said that he would not leave the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
The company had no choice but to let him continue to be the deputy minister of agriculture and forestry, but considering that he was old, according to the usual work intensity of the employees of the agriculture and forestry department of the Far Eastern Company, I was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear it. So, he also made three chapters of the law, that is, he was not allowed to go down to the grassroots level, and he was not allowed to go to the fields, pig farms, and chicken farms.
The old man was able to abide by it when he was in Vladivostok, but since he came to Liaodong, he began to soak in the fields every day. Today, Wang He went to the countryside to investigate with Li Ming, and Wang Fuhai happened to be arrested by the two of them.
Wang Fuhai led the two of them around the villages north of the Hunhe River and briefed them on agricultural production near Shenyang.
"Chinese feed 22% of the world's population with 10% of the world's arable land. The three northeastern provinces account for nearly one-sixth of China's arable land and provide more than one-third of the country's commercial grain. Northeast China can be divided into three major agricultural production areas, agricultural areas, forestry and special production areas, animal husbandry areas, and distribution plain areas: Songnen Plain, Sanjiang Plain and Liaohe Plain.
We have only developed a part of the Liaohe Plain, because the population is too small, and the Songnen Plain and the Sanjiang Plain are not capable of developing at all. Hehe...... Not to mention the Outer Northeast, in the modern society of the Amur Region alone, the arable land area accounted for 57% of the total land area of the state, and the area around Lake Xingkai in the Primorsky Territory is also extremely rich. Moreover, like the Songnen Plain and the Sanjiang Plain, there is a thick black soil belt, and the black soil layer is as thick as 0.8 meters to 1 meter. The entire cultivated land area of Liaodong and the Outer Northeast should be fully developed. It's enough to feed the entire Ming Dynasty. ”
When he said this, he sighed, and then continued: "It's just that we now have only land and no people. Our annual immigrant population from Daming is only a few hundred thousand. What a drop in the bucket! Now the priority is to carry out large-scale immigration from the Ming Dynasty and see a large area of land. It's so wild, I'm anxious! In a few years, there will be a great drought in Chongzhen, thousands of miles of red land, starvation everywhere, millions of people in Shanxi will starve to death, is there no way for the company to get them to Liaodong? ”
Wang He also smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Old Wang, last year, we immigrated nearly 200,000 people from Daming one after another, and the immigrants went to sea along the Yellow River waterway from Henan, all the way. The hiring of ships and manpower, as well as the amount of food and drink, and winter clothing, all cost the company a lot of resources. That's not all, in order to accept these immigrants, the company used almost all the manpower of our Democracy Committee, and it took several months to finish the work.
Liaodong is thousands of miles away from the mountains and Shaanxi, can we let the displaced people come over, if that is the case, I am afraid that most of them will die on the road. It was also after careful consideration that we set up an intelligence station in Henan. Then the Yellow River migration channel was opened, and the company's strong shipping power was used to bring the displaced people to Liaodong. This year's immigration mission is 200,000. As it stands, it is estimated that this number will be greatly exceeded. With the continuous launching of a large number of transport aircraft and sailboats of inland waterways, more Shanxi refugees will be accepted next year. ”
Li Ming also nodded, and then said solemnly: "Someone in the company asked us to give up the migration from Shanxi, and advocated that we plunder the population from the coasts of Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Hehe...... I don't know what they think, it's just a water in the brain.
Isn't this realistic at all, even if the people of the Ming Dynasty along the coast live hard, there is always a way to live, but the people in Shanxi who flee the famine everywhere have people dying every day. We are now saving one is one. Besides, the plundering of the population from the coast of the Ming Dynasty. It will inevitably cause panic among the Ming people along the coast and cause a large-scale exodus. Even if they plunder, it will inevitably separate their wives, how can we do it. ”
Wang He saw that Wang Fuhai's face was not good, so he immediately diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, your Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has been actively preparing since the day the company was established. Great achievements have been made in the work of grain crops, vegetables and non-staple foods, poultry and livestock breeding. ”
Wang Fuhai listened to Wang He's words, and his face became red again, and he laughed and said: "The employees of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry really don't say anything, like Zhou Lin's kid, who has been squatting on Russian Island for a few years, and the poultry and livestock breeding and breeding center on the island, just the breeding work is enough to meet the needs of the company's farms around the country." There is also a mushroom breeding center, which is also done well by him. In recent years, he has also trained a large number of experienced workers in the breeding industry.
At present, dozens of large-scale chicken farms, pig farms and fungus breeding bases have been built in the whole eastern Liaoning region. Without these skilled workers he trained, it would not have been built at all. It is with his hard work for several years that he has laid the foundation for today.
When the Liao people package the production to the household, each Liao people also got some chicks and piglets, these Liao people are treated as their own children, carefully waiting every day, now these chicks have been able to lay eggs every day, and the piglets have grown into fat pigs, which greatly enriches the dietary structure of the Liao people.
Li Ming, you are not at home during the Spring Festival, you don't know, our Liaodong is so lively. The outside of the office area of our Ethnic Affairs Committee is full of pig heads, elbows, chickens and ducks, all of which were sent by the Liao people. ”
Wang He also said with emotion: "Yes, seeing so many things sent by the Liao people touched us a lot. When I was in the modern world, I was in charge of one side, but I have never had such an experience, what a shame! Seeing that the people of Liaomin are full of surplus grain, chickens and ducks are everywhere, and there are still a few big fat pigs in the pigsty, not to mention how satisfied I am. ”
Wang Fuhai pointed to the crops in the distance, and laughed: "After the Liao people arrived at the households, they all seemed to have changed as if they were different people, getting up early every day and waiting for the crops in their fields. Ha ha...... We still have to liberate the productive forces. ”
Wang He also said with a smile: "After a year of trial implementation, the policy of package production to households has not only stimulated the enthusiasm of the people of Liao, but also greatly reduced our management costs. Nowadays, in a squadron village, only one squadron leader can be assigned to the daily work. As long as we strengthen the management strength of each brigade headquarters, we will be able to easily manage the Liao people of a brigade.
In this way, a large number of grassroots cadres were freed up to strengthen the management of the newly accepted immigrants of the company. This has greatly alleviated the shortage of grassroots cadres. Moreover, the consciousness of the people of Liao has been enhanced, and the sense of belonging to our Far East Company has also been deepened. (To be continued)
