Chapter 224 You can have a variety of American crops
"If I didn't know some of Jiang Fangzhen's personality, I would almost think that he was a lobbyist for the central government." Pharmacist Tang folded the fan and tapped the fan bone. When Meng Xiang saw Pharmacist Tang, he remembered what Jiang Baili had told him, and couldn't help but tell Pharmacist Tang about it.
As for some inappropriateness in the matter of selling liquor, you can adjust it slowly. And other people's reviews are not good, both good and bad. Everyone has shortcomings, and throwing out a false shortcoming can divert the attention of others. Being greedy for a cup of good wine is not a big disadvantage in the eyes of the Chinese people.
Although Jiang Fangzhen appreciated German-style centralization, this man was a bit arrogant and not enough to be a lobbyist. He said it might have been something that had been inferred. The confidential situation of the vanguard army, I don't think Fan Chong will talk nonsense, but some of the strength is in plain sight. In the past six months, the amount of arms flowing out of the hands of the vanguard army is a staggering number. With these shared profits and weapon channels, it is not difficult for the vanguard army to expand to 200,000 in half a year. In several battles of the vanguard army, discerning people will pay attention to it, and for the strength of the vanguard army, it is not difficult for 200,000 to fight against 300,000. ”
"Half a year later, it is easy for the vanguard army to attack 300,000 devils with 200,000!" Meng Xiang muttered in his heart, the situation of the vanguard army after half a year is definitely the same, and after half a year, Meng Xiang can save a powerful mechanical force in his hands, as well as a powerful air force. It is still no problem to use it against the Yue army in North China.
"There are less than 300,000 troops in North China, and some of the First Army is dragged in Shanxi, and most of the Second Army is in the south. Half a year later, unless the Kou retreats, the shortage of troops in the Beijing-Tianjin area will not be alleviated. When the time comes, it will still be possible to attack Beijing and Tianjin. It's just that the only thing to worry about is the Kwantung Army and the reinforcements of Yumoto. This seems to have changed internationally. Pharmacist Tang guessed, but he was not very familiar with the international situation and did not dare to draw conclusions.
"The contradictions between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union are becoming more and more acute, and both sides are at the border of Chen Bing. It is said that this invasion of China will certainly be seized by Soviet Russia to make it difficult to make this invasion of China. Otherwise, it is said that with the resources of China, Soviet Russia will feel the danger the most. Britain and the United States don't expect it, they are looking forward to another fight between the Soviet Union! The U.S. ship to the U.S. has never been broken, and now in the United States, only the U.S. himself is allowed to celebrate in public, and the Chinese are not allowed to rally and protest. If it weren't for you, Commander Meng, who asked for the money, I'm afraid that the well-informed Americans would still not know about the Nanjing Massacre. This is not as good as the actual assistance of the Russians to tide over the difficulties, although this is also a use. But if the vanguard army occupies the land of Yanzhao, your use value will be large, and the Russians will definitely come. The central authorities ordered that the officers and soldiers north of the Yellow River should not retreat across the Yellow River, but without a huge support force, I was only worried that after a long time, so many soldiers would be distracted, and I was afraid that they would have to change camps. When the time comes, it will be time for the Chinese people to fight the Chinese people. Jiang Baili said for so long in one go, he seemed to be a little tired, but he still raised his index finger and said to Fan Chong:
"I have a very strong ability to be soft, and there are many cartilage people in the country. At most, a year, more than a year, I said that I would stand on my feet, and it would be difficult to counterattack at that time. Unless it is a change in the overall external situation, but within two or three years, I am busy digesting China's resources, and I should have no plans for foreign war. Don't expect anyone else, you have the strength. As long as the vanguard army has crossed the Yellow River, the world will resonate. When the time comes, the land of Yanzhao and Jingjin will let you gallop, and there will be losses, but more gains. ”
Meng Xiang was concerned about other issues, and when he didn't guess Jiang Baili's intentions, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions in his heart. However, it is fundamental to properly handle the affairs of the base areas and to do a good job in internal skills.
"Then I'll pay attention to agriculture again!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.
In the vanguard army's military reclamation farm, Mu Pingyang and Zhang Changgong got together again.
"Uncle Zhang, the field you planted is good! This brigade is not as good as you, I think it's the whole farm, and there are not many farms like yours. Mu Pingyang praised.
"I have been serving the land for forty or fifty years, and my hands are familiar!" Zhang Changgong squatted on the ground and knocked on the cigarette pouch with a brass mouth, and said with a smile.
"It seems that my kind of field is still lawless, and it's useless to have no strength!" Mu Pingyang looked at the crops in Zhang Chang's construction site and said enviously, the pioneer army's farm is using the method of collecting more and getting more, the rent is not high, and it also provides a variety of farm tools, which only needs to work hard, but hard work also requires methods.
"Pay attention to a few points about this, hey, there are a lot of people over there!" Zhang Changgong was about to give Mu Pingyang some pointers, but dozens of people came on the Tiantou path, so he quickly lowered his voice to remind Mu Pingyang.
"To harvest more on arable land, crops such as corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Americas are more productive than native crops under the same conditions." Chen Hansheng explained to Meng Xiang. He had just been pulled back from the United States by Zhou Bai, but he joined the Red Industry International early. Meng Xiang also knew this, but he began to organize surveys and statistics on the agricultural situation in China in the twenties, and he could be regarded as an authority in the study of northern agriculture.
Meng Xiang didn't say a word and continued to listen.
"In 36 years, a survey report done in Shandong Province showed that the average yield per mu of wheat was only 137 catties, rice was only 109 catties, and the yield per mu of millet and sorghum was slightly higher, which could reach about 250 catties. Although corn is only 200 catties, peanuts can yield more than 300 catties per mu, and sweet potatoes have an average yield of more than 1,300 catties per mu. In addition, the surplus of vine branches and leaves of peanuts and sweet potatoes can be used exclusively to raise cattle and sheep. In the middle of April in the solar calendar, that is, at this time, it is most suitable for sweet potato seedlings to be planted. This crop is the most high-yielding and hunger-resistant. ”
"As far as the whole Shandong is concerned, many areas are spring planting, harvesting one season a year, if you add corn, you can grow three times in two years, and even some places with good water and soil can reach two crops a year. In this way, the output has increased all at once. It's just that the fertility of the land is missing quickly, and more top dressing is needed. ”
"During this period of time, I have checked and found that there is still a lot of abandoned land in the hilly and mountainous areas of the Special Economic Zone, and these places are suitable for growing drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant crops such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn."
After the Spring Festival, Zhou Bai has begun to organize large-scale planting, but it is mainly based on grain. Even cash crops such as cotton and peanuts have been reduced to cultivated area, and it is not an exaggeration for the vanguard to focus on grain at this time. First of all, it is necessary to ensure the problem of eating.
Shandong is a large province for planting peanuts, but at this time it is not a fragrant peanut oil, more than seventy or eighty percent of the peanuts in Shandong are to be exported, and they are bulk goods for export. Peanut cake, peanut straw, and peanut shell after peanut oil extraction are nutritious livestock feed, and the people get more benefits from peanuts with high yields, so they began to plant peanuts on a large scale, and in some years, the peanut planting area accounted for one-third of the cultivated land.
Although peanuts can fill your stomach, you can't eat them as a meal. Therefore, Meng Xiang greatly reduced the planting area of peanuts on the cultivated land controlled by the vanguard army.
The same is true for cotton, if it is not necessary to supply the start of cotton yarn mills, I am afraid that it will be cut even more.
The export channel is blocked, and Meng Xiang does not plan to rely on tariffs to support finances, so it is fundamental to protect the bottom line of grain.
"Uncle, what are you planting here?" Meng Xiang saw that the seedlings on Zhang Chang's head looked better than others, so he walked over and asked cordially.
"This, this, this is spring wheat!" Zhang Changgong stood up a little helplessly, and the cigarette pouch was inserted into his waist twice but not properly inserted.
"Let's smoke a cigarette!" Meng Xiang took out a hard-shell victory cigarette, handed one to Zhang Changgong, and gave another one to Mu Pingyang, who had been waving his hand.
"Uncle, your wheat grows very well!" Meng Xiang smiled and boasted.
"General, average!" Zhang Changgong only promised.
Seeing him so restrained, Meng Xiang remembered the editing and processing shots of later generations, and couldn't help but slow down his tone and asked, "Uncle, what is your surname?" ”
"The small one is called Zhang Changgong, the bow is Chang Zhang, and the long worker is the long worker." Zhang Changgong said his name in one breath, and he had already seen that the person in charge of the farm was following behind at this time, and he knew that the person in front of him must also be a big man. I didn't know where to put my hands and feet, and I replied with the cigarette in my hand and a little trembling.
"Long worker?" For him like this, Meng Xiang is also helpless.
"Uncle Zhang has been working for more than 40 years, and his old man who ran away early named him Zhang Changgong." Mu Pingyang saw that Meng Xiang was speaking very kindly, and couldn't help but interject, "Uncle Zhang is now the first-class crop leader on our farm. ”
"The first-class dealer style, does the uncle have any good advice for this farm? Say it. Meng Xiang said as he sat down on the ground, and patted the side to signal Zhang Changgong to sit down as well.
Zhang Changgong hesitated for a moment, and finally squatted down. Looking at Meng Xiang's kind smile on his face, he couldn't help but say ruthlessly: "It's all good, but some seedlings are too dense." Just like those sweet potatoes over there, the seedlings are too dense to grow good crops. He hesitated to look at the farm manager not far behind, and said no more.
Meng Xiang was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would have a good result when he asked casually. Just now, Chen Hansheng was still lamenting the abandoned hillside, and did not plant crops, and the best seedling cultivation period has passed. Zhang Changgong's words then provided the source of the seedlings. It's too dense and easy to do, and when you go out, it's not dense, and there are ready-made seedlings.
