Chapter 655: Declining wheat futures

"Affected by the bumper wheat harvest this year, the four wheat futures in Xianyang fell across the board. At the same time, it was subject to the tight transportation on the eastern line of Qin. In particular, steel occupies too much train wagons. The demand for wheat in Korea, Wei, Qi and Chu continued Rise." "Xianyang Express" reported.

Qin Guo has been in a good weather this year. Coupled with Qin State's continuous investment in agriculture. With a large amount of scientific and technological input, Qin's agriculture has a bumper harvest. Especially the yield of wheat. Has far exceeded the output of corn. According to the calculation of Qin's "Economy Knows" magazine. Qin State still does not have official statistics to count the relevant figures, because the government's finances are tightening and it is impossible to separate a special department. Therefore, the State of Qin still does not have a department dedicated to statistics.

"Our country's wheat output has far exceeded one to two times that of corn in the past. There are many regions producing wheat. The Hetao region in the north is the second largest wheat producing region after the Guanzhong region in my country. At the same time, it is also the largest in our country. One of the sources of meat."

"Our government has invested in agriculture very carefully and meticulously. It can be said. Almost thought of the most detailed places. Our banks have special low-interest loans. If you have a large output in the past year, it is very likely to get the Chinese government. Specially provided interest-free loans. This solves the funding problem for our country’s farmers."

"In terms of some agricultural infrastructure construction. Our country has more agricultural inputs than the six countries. Our country has built 32 small and medium-sized reservoirs on the Jinghe and Weihe Rivers this year. The emergence of these reservoirs has greatly met my country's agricultural needs. And our country has to build several large reservoirs near the Yellow River Hetao area to solve the waterlogging problem there. "Waterlogging problem refers to the problem of heavy rains there in summer. Excessive water supply is also a big trouble. To this end, Shangwen allocated funds for agricultural infrastructure construction to build several large reservoirs. After the plan is finalized. It was opposed by some electricians. They demanded to make full use of local water resources to generate electricity. But the actual situation is that the water flow speed there cannot meet the demand for power generation. So this plan was rejected. However, Shang Wen asked these electricians to re-select locations and investigate, and Qin State would try to build small and medium-sized hydropower stations in the Yellow River Basin. This is hydropower brought about by the abundance of agricultural facilities.

In fact, Qin State has hydroelectric installations in those small reservoirs. This electricity is mainly used for the use of nearby farmers and small towns. The actual appearance of the Qin State has undergone great changes. The natural villages in the Guanzhong area are rapidly disappearing, replaced by the emergence of small towns. This phenomenon is very common in the western and northern regions. The reason is that Qin's land is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people. in the past year. The number of land mergers in the Qin Kingdom has decreased a lot, but the number of land mergers is very large. Often mergers happen together, which means the birth of a large farmer who owns 10,000 acres of land. At the same time, several small farmers of several thousand acres and hundreds of acres disappeared. The original village was initially demolished by depression, and finally a small town was formed at a traffic junction. This is the change in Qin's agriculture.

The formation of these small towns is mainly due to the large number of farmers nearby. Plus, farmers need a town to satisfy their services. Such as various agricultural services.

There are specialized agricultural service companies in the town, and these companies usually provide agricultural equipment rental. Mainly tractors. Large trucks, fertilizer spreaders. High-quality seeds, as well as large-scale irrigation equipment.

These technical hardware devices are one of the important reasons for Qin's agricultural harvest.

Qin chemists invented one of the most important inventions. High-quality compound nitrogen fertilizer. It is actually our urea fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer is manufactured by using the surplus value of coal. It can also be said that it is just waste. This also means that this high-quality compound nitrogen fertilizer can be produced on a large scale. The speed of popularization far exceeds the imagination of the inventor.

Due to the use of a large amount of chemical fertilizers, the growth of wheat is unexpectedly fast, tall, and the wheat grains are also very full. Behind the use of chemical fertilizers is the advanced use of Qin's irrigation technology.

In addition to large-scale use of plastic on insulated wires. Another use is agriculture. Lightweight and easy to assemble. This kind of plastic pipe was soon laid in the fields of Qin State. It is different from the previous flood irrigation. Instead, sprinkler irrigation methods are used, and the laid plastic pipes will be laid in the field as a long-term investment. Within a certain distance of each interval. There will be a water pressure nozzle, which uses water pressure to rotate a small paddle to make the water better form a mist and spray it on the surrounding wheat. The agricultural service company specializes in laying, management, and maintenance. And this cost comes from the interest-free loan from the Qin government. With this funding. Farmers can boldly use new technologies.

The fertilizer will be dissolved in the pool in front of the main valve in advance. In this way, the best use effect can be achieved. The nutritious solution is more conducive to the production and absorption of crops.

Besides. The agricultural service company also provides another service. That is a large machine. This was due to a small slave riot in Qin. Because of the unbearable treatment of the farmer. In fact, the farmer is really too much. Because the farmer was forced to close down, the farmers who planted a lot received more care, interest-free loans, and high-quality services. Farmers who planted a small amount of money would be overwhelmed by the bank's repayment bills. In order to repay as soon as possible. The farmer had to speed up the steps of agricultural production, and for this reason, regardless of the life and death of the slaves, they worked day and night. No one can stand this kind of treatment. So the slaves colluded to kill the farmer, but they seemed to be too angry. They even burned down the farmer’s house, and the fire ignited a nearby wheat warehouse. This large number of haystacks are piled up in the warehouse for the forage for the north. result. The fire aroused the alertness of nearby farmers. Then the police nearby, then the garrison. The riot was suppressed before it expanded. After this incident. King Qin ordered all slaves in Guanzhong to be sent to King Qin’s tomb or to the Qinling Mountains in the south and railway construction. Slaves will no longer be used in the Guanzhong area.

As the slaves are no longer used. The farmland in Guanzhong will not be able to be farmed on a large scale. But Qin's automobile industry, especially the emergence of crawler tractors, made up for this defect. Agricultural service companies provide staff who operate the machines. Farmers can still drink tea with peace of mind, and a tractor is equivalent to the workload of dozens of slaves. The price is also much cheaper. Especially the use of leasing. As a result, agricultural machinery has developed favorably. But other regions still use a large number of slaves as labor.
