Chapter 1009 Discussion on the Development of Agriculture in the Far East (1)
An airship slowly landed at the airport on the outskirts of Shenyang, Song Tao jumped off the airship's pod, and then ran to Li Ming in the distance in a few steps, and gave him a bear hug when he went up.
Li Ming smiled and said, "Brother, it's hard work!" This battle was fought well, and it didn't disgrace me. ”
After listening to Li Ming's praise, Song Tao laughed and said: "Big brother, you are scolding me, with the current strength of our Far East Army, we can't clean up a bunch of barbarians on the grassland, so I'll kill my head." ”
The two walked and chatted, got into a jeep and came to the company's headquarters. After the Battle of the North and the Battle of the West, Song Tao made some proper arrangements for the work of the various corps, and then returned to Shenyang by airship.
They came to the small conference room of the company's board of directors, where Gao Jianguo and Wang He and several other members of the Standing Committee were waiting, and everyone couldn't help but tease him a few words when they saw Song Tao, but Gao Jianguo was the most active.
"Yo...... Our Xiao Song is back, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the people are much more stable. Ha ha...... There is no jump up and down here in the company, I always feel like something is missing, and it is easy to look forward to your kid back, but your kid has grown up, alas...... I still miss that half-sized boy who was funny back then. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard him.
Song Tao was made to cry and laugh by Gao Jianguo, and he hurriedly said: "Lao Tzu is working the front line, and as soon as he comes back, you old guys will make fun of me, and there is no royal law." ”
Li Ming saw that they were making trouble endlessly, so he smiled and said to Song Tao: "Everyone will take the wind for you tonight, and you will suffer it then." ”
When Wang He heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, let's talk about work first, and then clean up this kid at night." Xiao Song, let me say okay first, you have to be fully mentally prepared. Everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
After everyone sat down, Song Tao began to report to several members of the Standing Committee of the Far East Board of Directors on the situation of the northward campaign and the westward campaign. As a matter of fact, the Standing Committee members have a good understanding of the situation on the front line, and the theater command will send various battle reports from the front line back to the company every week.
Therefore, Song Tao only briefly introduced the combat process of this campaign, focusing on the wintering preparations of the garrisons and nomadic detachments in Mobei and Moxi after the war. As well as winter training work for prisoners.
Gao Jianguo listened to Song Tao's report, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that we still underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Field Army and the Northeast Field Army of the Far East Army. I suggest that next spring, the Northwest Field Army should mobilize part of its main forces and continue its westward march with a large number of nomadic detachments. There were millions of Mongols in the north and south of the Central Plains, and although some of them were consumed in the several campaigns we launched, there were still too many people.
Everyone has listened to the report of the autumn meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and with the popularization of the Far East Power Project, in the future they will be in remote areas such as the outer northeast and northern steppes. Preparing to engage in a number of modern scientific management of large farms and ranches, I think this is a trend of the company in the future, everyone is more supportive, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will submit this plan for consideration at the spring meeting, I estimate that it will definitely be approved.
If this plan can be implemented, the traditional nomadic way of herding in the northern steppes is no longer appropriate, and it is better to migrate the Mongolian there westward. There are vast pastures in the steppes of Kazakhstan and the plains of Eastern Europe, so let's go and graze cattle from our nomadic detachments in the Far East. Next year's westward expansion strategy will only be gradual encroachment. Step by step, to the west. ”
Wang He also nodded and said: "With the breakthrough of the company's power industry, our productivity will have a relatively large leap in the next few years." Increased productivity. It will also bring a lot of changes to the company. Of course, we will also actively prepare for this huge change. First of all, the company's current land policy is out of date, and the formulation of this policy at that time was actually only a stopgap measure. And keep them fed.
After several years of implementation, the company has solved the problem, which not only allows the vast number of displaced people to live a good life in the Far East, but also greatly saves the management cost of the Far East. Although the smallholder economy is in the context of the current situation in our Far East. can be very good results. However, with the continuous development of the company, this policy is bound to have a tendency to lag behind.
Although the small-scale peasant economy with the family unit as the unit can enable the peasants to be self-sufficient, their livelihood is relatively stable, increase the peasants' enthusiasm for production, and promote agricultural development. However, the small scale and simple division of labor make it difficult to expand reproduction, and this hinders the development of the social division of labor and the exchange economy. The long-term unchanged production technology and the easily satisfying social psychological state are also the factors hindering the budding development of capitalism in modern China. ”
Speaking of this, Wang He took a sip of water from his teacup, and then continued: "I have worked at the grassroots level for many years, and I still have some understanding of the current situation in China's rural areas. Since the rural reform in the early 80s, peasant households have gradually become the main body of China's agricultural production activities, due to the large number of Chinese and the lack of land, the per capita share of agricultural resources is low, the land management scale of peasant households is very small, the average household is only 0.5 hectares, and the farmland structure is scattered. For a long period of time, the proportion of rural labor in the primary industry was still as high as 70 percent.
If we look at the United States, agriculture in the United States is also dominated by family farms, accounting for about 87% of the total number of farms of all types, 10% of partnership farms, and 3% of corporate farms. Since many partnership farms and corporate farms are also based on family farms, it can be said that agriculture in the United States is carried out on the basis of farmer family operations. Due to the opening up of markets for agricultural products, scientific and technological progress, and the large-scale allocation of resources, peasant households have been prompted to divide their labor and industries, so that the factors of production have been concentrated in the advantageous peasant households. Specialization and intensive production have accelerated the merger and reorganization among peasant households.
In 2000, farms in the United States owned 385,988,700 hectares of land, with an average of 176.04 hectares per farm. The structure of agricultural resources in the United States is characterized by a shortage of labor and a shortage of labor. Due to the high price of land, the improvement of land utilization rate has become a prominent contradiction in agricultural modernization. The United States has focused its agricultural modernization on the use of biological and chemical technologies to improve land productivity. The technological revolution in American agriculture began with mechanical technology. Agricultural modernization has experienced a revolution in agricultural machinery, chemistry and biology, as well as a revolution in management.
The level of mechanization of agriculture in the United States is very high, chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been widely used, and farm operations are intensively and industrialized, production is specialized, and services are socialized. In the process of agricultural development, the division of labor in the industry is becoming more and more detailed, the degree of industrialization is getting higher and higher, and the expansion of the scale of farms has also promoted the improvement of the degree of specialization. So I think that the process of agricultural development in the United States, many aspects of it, can be learned from our Far East company.
With the opening of our Far East power revolution, a large number of steam power and internal combustion engine power will be popularized on a large scale in various regions of the company in the next few years, and the productivity is bound to be greatly improved. Relying on the Far Eastern Army's expeditions to the east and west in recent years, the company's territory has been expanded again and again. The demographic pressure of this era is also far less than that of modern China, and mass immigration is also the general trend. (To be continued.) )
