2064 Farm Mechanization(1/2)
Wujiang City.
Wang Huzi was sitting in the office looking at the reports that had just been compiled.
There are two copies in total.
One is the corn harvest status of various farms this year.
Which is divided into two parts.
One part is ordinary grain, and this one occupies one third, which is mainly used for the daily expenses of the farm.
It is also used in exchange for other supplies.
The remaining two-thirds are for breeding, and those grown are Yangcun No. 1.
One-third of this is used domestically, and the rest is used for export.
Of course, most of them are exported to the alliance and then exchanged for supplies.
This is no different from previous years. The only difference is that this year, each farm delivers it earlier than usual.
As for the other report, it is a report on the fields sown this year.
In order to rotate the land and ensure a good harvest, farms will choose to plant some crops, mainly wheat, which is often called winter wheat.
Due to the vast territory of Uzbekistan and the differences between the north and the south, the planting time will also vary, but it is basically completed before winter.
Therefore, the data in this report should be final data.
It's just that this data is a bit abnormal.
He knew the data from previous years clearly, and the difference wouldn't be too much.
If the first report surprised him a little, then the data in this report shocked Wang Huzi!
"Old Qian, is there any problem with the data in this report?"
Wang Huzi knocked on the table, focusing on the numbers on the report, with a serious look on his face.
He didn't believe that others couldn't see such an obvious problem.
But it was still delivered to his desk. There must be something wrong with it.
"The area planted with wheat here is half more than last year."
Wang Huzi asked seriously.
This is the entire Uzbekistan. The extra half means more food.
This is no small matter.
Secretary Qian took a deep breath, then put down the enamel jar he was holding and said, "It stands to reason that these two documents should be delivered after November, and then we will review them before submitting them."
"But you also discovered that there are some discrepancies in the data here compared to previous years. I also found it strange, so I asked my comrades to implement it again to see if there is any problem in any link."
"As a result, not only did the data not decrease, but it actually increased."
Having said this, Wang Huzi already frowned and looked at the newly opened land figures on the report, "Someone is making a lie?"
After hearing this, Secretary Qian smiled and shook his head, "I thought so too at the beginning."
"Later, I went to a few farms below and looked at it, and then I discovered the problem."
"What's the problem?"
"It's a big problem, one that we ignored before."
As he spoke, Secretary Qian stood up and walked to the map of Wujiang hanging nearby, stretched out his hand and gestured on it, "Old Wang, look, we have so much land here."
"Three mountains sandwiched between two basins, there is oil, iron, coal, and a lot of land here."
"But why couldn't we open it before? It was because we didn't have enough manpower and material resources!"
"As a result, we are guarding this treasure land and cannot make full use of it."
After hearing what Secretary Qian said, Wang Huzi also came to the front and looked at the huge map of Uzbekistan with a solemn expression.
Although there is Gobi, desert, and lack of water here, there is a lot of land that can be cultivated.
At least there are more than neighboring Qinxi.
But now, the lack of population caused by the war has put the development here in trouble.
However, with the gradual establishment of farms over the years and the continuous migration of inland populations, the development here has become faster and faster.
More than twenty years have passed, and another generation has grown up, making this place better and better.
But even so, there are still large tracts of land waiting to be reclaimed.
Coupled with the emergence of new types of corn blood jade, many saline-alkali lands that were not cultivated before are now planted with corn.
In this case, there will be more land waiting for planting.
The two stood in front of the map and suddenly became silent.
Wang Huzi said nothing, waiting quietly for Secretary Qian to speak.
Secretary Qian suddenly pointed to a small spot, and the mark on it clearly indicated that it was a farm.
"This Shihe Dry Farm is surrounded by a seasonal river, and the farm is just around it."
"When I went, guess what?"
"People all over the farm are reclaiming land around them, and they are very busy."
"Their farm owner said, 'The work on the farm is all done, and we can't just watch it at home, so we lead people to reclaim the land.' That's how the extra construction site came about."
After Secretary Qian finished speaking, Wang Huzi became even more confused.
"I remember, we don't have so much time in normal years."
He still knows a lot about farming.
Farmers work according to the solar terms, and he also knows.
Hearing this, Secretary Qian smiled and said, "That's why I just said it, we all ignored a fact."
Wang Huzi listened attentively, and Secretary Qian did not show off, and said with a smile, "This year, the biggest difference in our Uzbekistan is that we have more agricultural machinery. In this regard, we can sow seeds faster."
"Secondly, there is the emergence of corn threshers. Although this thing is not big, it is very useful."
"Usually, the time from picking the corn to threshing and putting it into storage on a farm lasts half a month, or even a month in some cases."
"During this period, everyone on the farm had to work for this, but now, a threshing machine only needs to work continuously for three to five days to thresh the corn on the entire farm."
"Moreover, there are not so many people needed during the threshing period. Only about ten people are enough, or even just women and children can complete the work."
"With the extra labor, we can naturally do more work and cultivate and reclaim the land."
"I estimate that this year our threshing machine can only be used on three or five farms. When we introduce a batch later, the efficiency will be even higher. By then, the cultivated area will not be half, but doubled.
It's possible."
Speaking of happiness, Secretary Qian slapped his hand on the map and said, "This year we have turned over one thousand tons of grain, and next year there will be at least fifteen million tons. This is a huge event."

Facing Secretary Qian's excitement, Wang Huzi couldn't hold back his excitement. He pinched his waist with both hands and looked at the map blankly, with hope in his eyes.
I have food in my hands and don’t panic in my heart.
Especially after experiencing difficult times, we understand the preciousness of food.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Suddenly, Wang Huzi said three good words in a row and looked excited.
Secretary Qian nodded, "So, it is a right decision for us to let the branch of Hongxing Machinery Factory locate here."
"If there are more corn threshers, we will be better next year."
"By the way, there are also tractors. Nowadays, most farms only have one. Now that the farm has expanded, one tractor is not enough. There are also maintenance problems. If it breaks down, it is easy to delay the farming time."
"Also, we need more agricultural tools. Those iron rakes and plows. Different fields require different depths. I remember that Sijiucheng has developed a rake and plow that can adjust the depth. We have to ask the machinery factory to hurry up.
Production."
"Also, this production requires steel, and the machine needs oil to run..."
Secretary Qian pointed his fingers in the palm of his hand and spoke bit by bit, as if he wanted to express what was in his heart.
When he looked up, he found Wang Huzi staring at him closely, with a smile on his face.
Secretary Qian stopped immediately and looked at Wang Huzi.
"What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"
He stretched out his hand to touch his face, straightened his clothes, and then stared at Wang Huzi again.
"Old Qian, haven't you noticed that the things you are thinking about now were something you never dared to think about before?"
Secretary Qian opened his mouth half-open, and then suddenly laughed.
Wang Huzi also laughed when he saw this.
