"Okay, Antong, this is the way to make farm fertilizer, it takes more than half a month in total, and now there is still a month before spring ploughing, which should be enough for every household to make some farm fertilizer, improve land fertility, and increase grain production!" Wang Ping said after handing over the method he had figured out to Ouyang Antong.

"It's so easy to make fertilizer~" An Tong stared at a pair of eyes, looking incredulous.

"Yes, in fact, the common people have been making farm manure for a long time, and the only problem is that they only use livestock manure, which is very small, and they can only grow vegetables, and there is no farm manure available in the fields. Now after I add the straw of plants and crops, the amount of farm manure they make will greatly increase, and it is a mature farm manure, which will not harm the crops, and it will definitely be useful~"

An Tong immediately affirmed: "Okay, tomorrow we will convene a meeting to promote this method!" ”

At this time, Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "When I came, I passed through a village, and there were more than 100 people in the village, and there were only more than 100 acres of land. I observed that there is still a lot of wasteland around this more than 100 acres of land, and if the forest is not destroyed, there will definitely be no problem in reclaiming another 100 acres of land! ”

"I believe that this is not an isolated case in Yanchang County, and I can't understand why we can't reclaim more land and increase land production by increasing the cultivated area of the land, since there is not enough food to eat!"

The smile on Ouyang Antong's face froze suddenly.

After opening the notebook of his visit record, he replied: "This is indeed not an isolated case, this situation exists in the entire Yanchang County!" ”

"If I guessed correctly, you should be Zhonggu Village, I went to it a few days ago, the village has 106 people and 125 acres of arable land!"

"The reason why they don't increase arable land is simply that they don't have enough labor to cultivate the extra land!"

"I counted that there are 106 people in the village, and only 32 are strong laborers, and the rest are all old and weak women and children."

"What's more, the village is so poor that the whole village doesn't have a single ploughing ox, ploughing the fields, ploughing the fields, and cultivating all rely on manpower."

"A strong laborer, with a woman, can cultivate up to three acres of land a year, and no matter how much it is, there is no way!"

"You think they don't want to reclaim the wasteland, but there's really no way!"

"Without the labor to increase the arable land, the grain that can be harvested in the autumn harvest is very limited, and there is not even enough food to eat, let alone buy livestock. So, they can only cultivate those acres of land from generation to generation, and then starve! ”

Relying entirely on manpower to cultivate the land, Wang Ping stared at a pair of eyes, a look of disbelief, and finally understood why in the base area of southwest Shanxi, the common people could easily complete the cultivation of two acres of cultivated land per capita. Here, one acre of land per capita may not be able to be cultivated.

Seeing Wang Ping frowning and not speaking, Ouyang Antong subconsciously asked, "Wang Ping, do you have a solution!" ”

Wang Ping didn't answer, frowned and asked, "An Tong, how much money does our family have now?" ”

Ouyang Antong didn't know why her husband suddenly talked about how much money the family had, but she still replied very quickly: "I really don't know how much, I have to do the math!" ”

"In the past two years, both of us have had allowances, and there are several close ones, which are hardly used in normal times, and we have all saved, and there must be one or two hundred oceans."

"After you arrived in Yan'an, the Ministry of Economic Affairs gave you bonuses several times one after another, and I remember a total of 1,350 yuan!"

"And after you came back from the Suide Military Region, Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Intelligence sent us 500 yuan, saying that this is a reward from the Ministry of Intelligence!"

"When I got married, you gave me one hundred and fifty yuan, a big yellow croaker, and some gold and silver jewelry as a dowry, my parents gave me all of them, and I kept them all, but it was useless!"

"Except for the ocean we spent during this time, there must be two thousand one hundred oceans, and there is also a big yellow croaker, some gold and silver jewelry!"

Wang Ping nodded, then hesitated for almost a minute before replying, "I do have an idea. ”

"Take out 2,000 pieces of ocean, a big yellow croaker, and set up a company in the name of my father-in-law in the border district government. As long as this company is established, I will have a way to solve the problem that the people in Yanchang County have no livestock, and I can also drive the people to increase their income and production, and get rid of poverty and become rich little by little! ”

"Set up a company!" Ouyang Antong was stunned.

In his view, the establishment of a company and the solution of the two problems of livestock are fundamentally incompatible, and it is impossible to get together.

And her husband's sworn answer made her choose to believe it, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"How!"

Wang Ping did not hide it, and replied directly: "I plan to use this money to buy fifty ploughing cattle and three thousand lambs from Shanxi!" ”

"Now the ploughing ox is about fifty yuan a head, and the adult goat is three yuan a big ocean, and the lamb is cheaper, and a piece of the ocean should be able to buy it. Two thousand pieces of ocean and a big yellow croaker will definitely buy back these livestock! ”

"Ploughing cattle are leased to the common people for use, ploughing one acre of land, I don't charge money now, and when the autumn harvest comes in the future, just give me twenty catties of grain!"

As for the lambs, if anyone is willing to raise them, I can divide them into two sheep per household, one male and one female. After a year, the two sheep will definitely give birth to lambs, and I can keep two lambs, one male and one female, for them as a year's payment. If they are willing to continue to raise, then raise, and all the other sheep that are not willing to continue will be taken back by our company and handed over to other people to raise! ”

"Because the scale of the company is not large for the time being, we can only consider Yanchang County. Next year, when the company has enough funds, it will further increase the number of cattle and expand to other counties. ”

"When the people have money in their hands, I can sell the cattle to them again!"

Ouyang Antong frowned, hesitated for a long time and asked: "If you lease the ploughing cattle to the common people to cultivate the land, will the rent of twenty catties of grain per mu of land be too high!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, now one hundred catties of grain is two oceans, and a ploughing ox can buy fifty oceans, and two thousand five hundred catties of grain can be bought, which means that a ploughing ox only needs to cultivate more than 120 acres of land a year to recover all the capital, should it be lower!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "It's not expensive at all!" ”

"When it comes to farming, another question comes to mind. Because there are no livestock, the people here rely on manpower to cultivate the fields, and with the ploughing cattle, they can carry out deep ploughing, and the yield of deep ploughing land is definitely more than that of shallow tillage! ”

This means that the people have not paid more, but have also liberated the labor force, and each family can grow a few acres of land. It is possible to produce hundreds of catties of grain a year, or even thousands of catties! ”

Ouyang Antong nodded and replied: "That's really not much!" ”

"The food production of the common people has increased, and with livestock, life will definitely get better and better. We're making money too, killing two birds with one stone, I agree! ”

"It's just that I don't know if my father will agree, after all, he still likes to teach!"

"Definitely, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" Wang Ping affirmed, explaining by the way.

"Besides, this company is just under the name of my father-in-law, and he doesn't need to do anything, and those who are willing to teach can continue. In terms of operation, you can rest assured, I have a lot of battlefield injuries in the new regiment, and I can't return to the old subordinates of the army, so I can let them come over to help run the business, and by the way, I can also increase some of their income. What's more, they deserve my trust! ”

"In that case, I agree!" Ouyang Antong no longer hesitated and replied very affirmatively.
