Chapter 158 Perverted Food Slave
Yu Xiaotian toured the whole of Danshui City. In addition to industry, he also focused on the development of agriculture. Since he decided to use a collective farm, the agricultural development in Danshui City has developed rapidly.
Although this is suspected of eating a big pot of rice, it has a natural advantage over the small farmers' economy in this era, because small farmers dare not easily try to plant new varieties in terms of self-protection in agricultural planting, and only use their own seeds, which makes it difficult to spread many good seeds, and small farmers are small The planting structure of households is also very strong, which does not meet Yu Xiaotian's current needs.
The collective farm system can enable small plots of land to be used as large tracts of arable land, saving livestock and labor. Grain varieties can also be selected according to the needs of sea wolves. In addition, collective concentrated fertilizer and fertilization is also convenient for field management. From the perspective of these two years, the land cultivated in collective farms is compared with small farmers' own The yield per mu of cultivated land has almost doubled, mainly because collective farms have more opportunities to obtain fertilizer.
Seawolves sent ships to collect bird droppings and bird droppings on some islands, which are rich in various elements and have a high nitrogen and phosphorus content. After being transported back, they must be closely fertilized on the land of the collective farm. Therefore, the land of the collective farm matures much faster than the land cultivated by ordinary farmers.
And because there is more fertilization, the land of collective farms is relatively fertile, and the irrigation system is much better than scattered small households' land. In addition, there is a relatively sufficient labor force to be used. Collective farms can carry out the development of large-scale water conservancy systems, making the land of collective farms convenient for irrigation and drainage. This has also made the grain production of these lands steadily increase year by year.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to the problem of seed selection. He tries his best to find the seeds of various crops, conduct trial planting, and then selects good seeds for expansion and promotion, so that the grain seeds they use are much better than the good seeds retained by ordinary farmers. If the yield does not go up, it is really a damn thing.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian also found some farmers who are good at using their brains and asked them to carry out various hybrid pollination experiments on some grain crops in several collective farms, trying to cultivate several high-yielding and disease-resistant seeds through this method, but this is a relatively long-term work. So far, there has been no breakthrough, but Yu Xiaotian believes that as long as he persists, he will choose several high-yielding seeds sooner or later.
For thousands of years in ancient China, the yield per mu of grain crops has not changed much. The most important thing is that China has been in a low-end small-scale agricultural economy. Farmers fight separately and plant grain to keep their own seeds. As a result, many grain mothers have changed very little and even deteriorated.
Few people in power deliberately pay attention to this matter, let alone how to breed and choose seeds, and they don't bother to look for good seeds for promotion. Farmers mostly grow grain at an extremely slow speed spontaneously. After seeing that the grain seeds planted by others are better and see the benefits, they try to plant them.
Therefore, China's grain output in the last thousand years has hardly changed. The yield depends on whether the land is fertile or not. It seems that no one realizes that seeds are also very important, but how can Yu Xiaotian not know the importance of seeds? He can't master the black technology such as fertilizers and pesticides at present, so he can only find a way to get more. Tujia fertilizer uses the method of accumulating fertilizer to fatten the fields, or uses some low-level soil pesticides to prevent diseases and pests, but it can cultivate good seeds.
Even if he can't cultivate good seeds at present, he can first select the best varieties from existing grain varieties for promotion and planting.
Therefore, the collective farms on Taiwan are currently planting the best grain seeds, so the yield is higher, which is normal.
As for manpower, when Yu Xiaotian emigrated today, a large number of the immigrants were not free, but signed a deed of sale with the sea wolf. These people are nominally Yu Xiaotian's serfs, and no one is free, so they have nothing to say when they fill in the farm to work.
But for the workers on these farms, they are still very happy to work in the collective farm. Although it is very tiring to work here, they get up early and get up in the dark, and the foreman supervise the workers are very strict and do not give them a chance to be lazy, and sometimes there will be corporal punishment or other punishments. However, after all, there are two meals a day here without them. Worry
Here, the farm also carries out collective rationing and has formulated a strict rationing system. How much food each person eats every day is quantitative. In addition to grain, there is also a certain amount of fresh vegetables, and there is also meat every five days. Although most of the meat dishes are used by some internal organs and things, sometimes there will be some miscellaneous things. Fish is not as good as the level of catch supply, at least everyone can eat almost enough.
This is undoubtedly a paradise for people who have been semi-starved for a long time, and even have been hovering on the death line.
Even their clothes are distributed to them with a new set of clothes every year, which is even more unimaginable. In the past, when they rented the land of rich families, after paying the rent at the end of the year, there was basically not much surplus, and their meals were not enough to maintain, and they had to find a way to pick wild vegetables to pay for compensation.
Few farmers can buy a new clothes a year. Adults' clothes are worn out and mend and then wear them. If there are children, they will change them with adult's rags clothes. The clothes worn by older children are small and continue to be worn for young children. They are all full of quail clothes, which can cover the skin and flesh. Even if it is good, how dares they think about it? Wear a new dress!
So although the collective farm is well managed, the work is very tiring, and there is almost no time to rest, but they can eat enough, put on new clothes, and even children have books to read, which is still unimaginable for them.
To be honest, Yu Xiaotian is not a good man. He also tried his best to extract all the surplus energy of the labor and extract more surplus value from these people.
But in this dark era, he can feed these people, put on clothes, live in a house that can be sheltered from the wind and rain, and treat them when they are sick, which is the greatest kindness. Most Chinese farmers can't imagine this kind of life.
Of course, Yu Xiaotian also personally participated in the setting of various systems of the farm and set up a strict reward and punishment system, of which is naturally the most used is hungry rice. Hungry rice is a very effective control method in this era. If you find someone who is lazy and slippery for no reason and refuses to work hard, If it is not a quota task, it will be punished by hunger.
When they are hungry, these people naturally know that it is uncomfortable not to work hard. Of course, there are some more severe punishments, such as deliberately destroying tools and not following strict health systems, which will be eaten while being hungry.
For some dishonest people who provoke trouble and make trouble among migrant workers, they can even be sent to the sea wolf official office, which can be sentenced to the highest punishment, that is, hanging or beheading. Many such people have also been sent to labor camps for re-education through labor, which is sad. Labor camps are places without any human rights, almost It is common to work to death, be squeezed out of all labor, and be beaten.
Therefore, under the strict system and without considering human rights issues, the collective farm does not have the kind of food imagined. Everyone does not work hard, resulting in a serious waste of labor. On the contrary, it has greatly improved the efficiency of the use of labor, making the collective farm in Taiwan in recent years. The island has developed rapidly. Nowadays, the grain harvested by collective farms is basically enough for the island's immigrants to eat.
In addition, the grain produced by Taiwan Island can also be supplied to the army in small quantities. Fortunately, the government now has to bear part of the pay and food supply of the army of sea wolves. This demand is not too big, so the food produced on Yu Xiaotian's own territory is basically enough, and even has a surplus. Besides.
However, Yu Xiaotian is still insatiable. Every year, he will take out a large amount of funds to reserve a large amount of food through various channels, because he knows better than anyone that in the next few years, the Ming Dynasty will be completely chaotic. Whoever has food in his hand can attract a large number of people to serve him. At that time, even if No matter how many sea wolves have fleets, I'm afraid there is no place to get so much food.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian not only buys a large amount of grain reserves from Guangdong every year, but also opened up channels for grain trading in Vietnam and Lebanon every year. Every year, he also buys a large number of grain crops from Vietnam. Even the Spanish-controlled Luzon Island now supplies a lot of rice to sea wolves every year. .
Yu Xiaotian still feels inadequate about this. Like a greedy miser, he is still trying to get food everywhere. In freshwater, Kaohsiung and even Haitan Island and Weitou Bay, he has built a large number of grain depots, constantly hoarding grain, putting new grain into storage every year, and removing old grain out of the grain depot for use, so as to ensure continuous more New grain warehouse to avoid a large amount of grain mildew and aging.
Now Yu Xiaotian has even sent ships to Thailand, the later generation, to seek ways to import grain. Siam has always been a rice-producing place and exports a lot of brown rice every year. Yu Xiaotian will not be willing to leave such a good food supply place.
Therefore, in this Shandong operation, the sea wolf was able to successfully take out a large amount of food. On the one hand, it was used by the army, and on the other hand, it was used by the advance station over there to search for immigrants. Otherwise, even if Yu Xiaotian gave birth to three heads and six arms, he could not take out so much food to to tosss around.
Therefore, some people are now secretly talking about Yu Xiaotian's jokes, saying that when he sees the food now, his eyes are naked. He is afraid that there is not enough food to eat, and he wants to sleep with the food in his arms every day. However, how can they know that Yu Xiaotian has done everything in order to have food at hand in the future, just to be amazing in the future. I'll get it tomorrow.
Of course, there is another important thing for Yu Xiaotian to go to Danshui this time. He wants to meet a very important person, that is, Sun Yuanhua, who he sent someone to kidnap back from Shandong.
