Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 176 Getting ready to buy a tractor
In the era I live in now, tractors are still purely imported, and they are extremely expensive!
It will take five to eight years for our domestically produced first-generation "Dongfanghong" tractors to officially roll off the assembly line.

Dongfanghong tractor is a copy of Sulian's "Dete May [-]th" model.

This kind of tractor is divided into crawler type and four-wheel head traction type.

But whether it is the "Dete" imported from Big Brother or the "ZETOR" tractor imported from the Czech Republic, they are all traction tractors driven by steering wheels.

This kind of tractor is laborious and expensive to maintain.

And domestic tractors are similar.

Because when Dongfanghong tractors were first produced in China, the technology was not particularly mature, so there were many problems in the early products and it was difficult to maintain.

Luo Xuan didn't want to spend a lot of money to buy a pile of scrap iron, then it would be troublesome!

Just in case you label yourself a "waste of collective property".

That can make people sore all over, and they can't turn over in three lifetimes
Fortunately, when Luo Xuan asked if there were any walk-behind tractors, he heard Ji Xuyuan inadvertently mentioning: Walk-behind tractors?

Have!
It's just that this walk-behind tractor is imported from the United States.

Ji Xuyuan worried that there would be certain risks in using it in the future
According to Ji Xuyuan: Before liberation, Ji Xuyuan was one of the few people in Rongwei County, even in Jiangnei area, who had the ability to buy cars and tractors.

Therefore,
What Luo Xuan is encouraging Ji Xuyuan to buy now is the batch of walk-behind tractors that our country imported from the United States before liberation.

As early as [-] years ago, my country introduced a batch of walk-behind tractors and carried out adaptability tests in southern provinces.

The truly domestically produced walk-behind tractors will have to wait until five to seven years, that is, next year, before they can be successfully trial-produced at Wuhan General Machinery Factory.

It took five to eight years for mass production before the first "Gongnong-7" officially rolled off the assembly line.

only,
Now in the warehouses of the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Station in Bashu Province and the Agricultural Machinery Station in Jiangnei area, there are still a few walk-behind tractors imported from the United States, which have been backlogged in the warehouse to eat ashes.

In the early years, the entire Bashu Province has been in a state of chaos.

As a result, most of the tractors imported before liberation were distributed in Dongguang and Xiguang provinces.

Then, in the Guomin Mansion at that time, considering that hundreds of thousands of important officials and family members flocked to live in the mountain city at once, the food problem in the future might become more serious.

Therefore, in order to support the agricultural production in Bashu Province, Guomin Zhengfu intends to use mechanization to improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

Therefore, the remaining tractors were brought over by the Guomin government who fled to Bashu Province for refuge.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is a mess.

The grassroots organization of Guomin Zhengfu is weak, and corruption is rampant.

When many local officials at all levels saw these "foreign machines", the first thing they thought of was to take these tractors for themselves.

Then slowly resell them privately and fill your pockets.

But then encountered warlords fighting, bandits ravaged, and our army was about to fight again.

So at that time, the entire Bashu Province was in chaos from top to bottom!

In the end, these batches of tractors were transported to Rongcheng and Jiangnei City respectively, and then piled up in the warehouse.

no more text
After all, love the house and the crow.

Don't underestimate the determination of our members who love and hate clearly: Anyway, we are determined not to use rotten Midi stuff!
——Although, they don't actually know the origin of that tractor.

Seeing the nameplate on the car, everyone did not recognize the earthworm text on it.

The walk-behind tractor is good, the leather is solid!
Even if it is broken, it is easy to repair.

Even if the engine oil leaks, cut a piece of paper and put it on it, and it can continue to be used.

During this period, because the transportation facilities in Bashu Province were very backward, even if the walk-behind tractor was overturned, a few strong men could carry it back.

If you buy that kind of crawler tractor, you can really catch people blind.

"A walk-behind tractor costs 3700 yuan, and with an additional body, it seems to be 980 yuan."

Ji Xuyuan understood these market conditions better than Luo Xuan, so he just listened to his calculations and said, "Bicycles cost 157.3 yuan each. Why did you buy two bicycles at once?"

Luo Xuan asked back: "You are ashamed to equip the sand mining area with bicycles for business use, but watch the brigade Captain Liao and the old party secretary walk to the countryside to do errands?

Isn't that self-inflicted?Hey, how do you know the price of the tractor? "

Ji Xuyuan smiled and said, "Don't talk about the price of the tractor, it's the price of a Ford car in the United States and the price of a Big Brother GAZ truck. I know all about it."

Seeing that Luo Xuan was puzzled, Ji Xuyuan explained, "Do you believe that there is a gas truck in the county transportation service agency, which belonged to Dongsheng dyeing workshop back then?

only,
After I was liberated, I donated a fifth-hand Ford car and a second-hand GAZ car.It's no use keeping that guy. "

Luo Xuan glanced at Ji Xuyuan, and couldn't help admiring him secretly: "You're good at it, my brother!"

Before liberation, there were probably no more than 500 cars in the entire Bashu Province.

Most of the cars were brought over by the dignitaries who retreated to the mountain city.

As a businessman, Ji Xuyuan actually owns one of the 5th-hand "Ford" cars, which is already a remarkable thing.

To start a sand mining field, a tractor is a must. Using a trolley to deliver sand to the unit makes my legs weak.

Bicycles are also essential.

After all, in this period, everyone's cultural level is limited.

When many people need to calculate the amount of sand and gravel, they have no clue in their hearts, so they have to send someone to the sand field to help him estimate it.

and,

You can't really imitate the masters of those state-owned units and collective enterprises: wait for customers to come to your door every day, right?
Tractors, bicycles, the two most expensive equipment have been settled.

Then you need to buy wood and ask someone to build a simple wooden boat.

Sand mining was easy in the early days. A lot of alluvial river sand by the river was accumulated on the beach, and it only needed to be picked up.

But at the back, you have to go to the middle of the river to wash sand, so wooden boats are essential.

Forget it, Ji Xuyuan estimates that it will cost 80 yuan to build a small wooden boat with a load of about 670 "materials".

[Material, the unit used to calculate the deadweight of ships in ancient and modern times in my country, 1 material = 1 stone ≈ 92 catties. ]
Shovels, hoes, dustpans, ropes, and gangways for getting on and off the boat, and everything else.

In the end, Ji Xuyuan calculated that the entire sand mining site needed to be invested with a full 6300 yuan!

"What, the flesh hurts?"

Luo Xuan glanced at the silent Ji Xuyuan, and said, "If you don't want to pay for it, forget it! I'll do it by myself. I won't buy a tractor at the beginning. When I use a car, I will go to the agricultural machinery station to find someone, and pay them to pay for it." help.

I don't buy bicycles for small business, what kind of bicycle do I want?The boat is no longer available, we will talk about this later. "

Ji Xuyuan shook his head, "It's not about money. I just don't understand why you want to mine the battlefield?"

Luo Xuan smiled slightly: "You have too much money, how can you do it if you don't spend it for you? I am serving the general public, so that they can have another way to earn money and buy food."

Ji Xuyuan snorted coldly, "Don't play the erhu on the grave here, you're talking nonsense. If I pay so much money, I should have a little right to know, right?"

Considering Ji Xuyuan's rich life experience, it is also a valuable asset.

and,

Perhaps his hidden strength is very likely to be used by himself.

So Luo Xuan didn't want to hide it from him too strictly.

So Luo Xuan opened his mouth and explained honestly, "The main thing is to support people. And maintain the relationship with the various units in the village; these two points are the most critical. Incidentally, it can also arrange for the spare labor in the production team to provide for the members, It is also a good thing to increase the income of the production team.”

Luo Xuan said: "Anyway, you also need to strive for performance and actively move closer to the organization. This money, you will understand in the future how much it is worth spending."

Hearing the words, Ji Xuyuan stared at Luo Xuan for a moment, then said slowly, "Well, I'll go back to the county seat tomorrow and come back after I've settled the matter."

"Two grasshoppers?"

Ji Xuyuan stretched out two fingers, rolling up and down and making gestures.

Luo Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed down one of his fingers: "A grasshopper. I'm an excellent young commune member, you grasshopper after autumn, don't get involved with me."

Ji Xuyuan asked, "Then the eaves of your house can be temporarily borrowed from the grasshoppers to shelter from the wind and rain?"

Luo Xuan said with a smile: "It's easy to do, but it's wishful thinking if you want me to open the door and let it in, and drag me into its wrecked boat."

Ji Xuyuan laughed loudly and said, "So, I'm relieved!"

Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan had a mystery, and both of them understood the meaning in their hearts.

After saying that, the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, and they have become friends since then.

According to the historical trend in my memory: In a few years, the situation may...may deteriorate sharply.

At that time, if you have a group of people who can work hard, and you have a strong relationship with various units and departments.

In this way, he will be in an invincible position first.

At that time, if you don't harm others, you will be doing good. Who would dare to provoke yourself?

It's annoying, yellow sand is not light energy used to build houses
That night, Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan discussed until midnight, and each went to sleep without mentioning it.

When Ji Xuyuan fell asleep, Luo Xuan stepped into the space, ready to take a careful inventory of all his belongings.

1 goat.

When I bought this goat, I planned to slaughter it and drink mutton soup.

It's just that later on, I don't seem to be so greedy anymore, and this goat has always been very well-behaved, feeding it in the space made me feel at ease.

So now Luo Xuan not only has no intention of killing it, but also plans to find a companion for it to come back.

At that time, sheep will beget sheep, sheep will be sheep again, and sheep and sheep will be passed on from generation to generation, without end.

There are 6 wild boars.

Now these wild boars have weighed about 30 kilograms, and they have begun to draw slivers and grow skeletons, and they will soon enter a period of rapid growth.

2 big roosters and 3 old hens.

Big roosters are useless, Luo Xuan is going to wait until the day when the house is built, and slaughter these roosters to improve food for the big guys.

The old hen has resumed laying eggs now. Although Luo Xuan eats few eggs, he doesn't dislike too many eggs.

The batch of chicks that were raised in the previous space are now almost 2 catties, so let’s keep them for now!
The little rabbit is quite fat.

One is estimated to be over 2 catties. It seems that in less than a month, one can be slaughtered from time to time to stew soybeans, and use it as meat for Aunt Zhang and Uncle Ding.

In that case, I can also save some meat tickets.

The soft-shelled turtles and eels kept in the tank are used for selling money, and they will follow the market as they go, so they don't need to be classified as their own current assets for the time being.

There are also some carp, earth crucian carp, and even a few catties of horse shrimp in the big tank.

Most of these things are used as feed for soft-shelled turtles and eels, and their value is almost negligible.

Among the animals bred in the space, the century-old turtle is actually the most up-to-date at present.

In this hometown, the dead trees are in spring, and the old trees sprout new shoots.

It actually gave birth to 4 broods of bastard eggs in the space in just over a week.

Luo Xuan didn't bother digging up the pit or counting the number of soft-shelled turtle eggs.

But judging from the number of small turtles hatched from the first litter, there were a total of 12!
According to such a rough estimate, there should be between 40 and 50 of the first batch of small turtles produced by this old turtle and able to hatch successfully.

In this way, in the future, I don't have to spend money anymore, and I deliberately go out to buy soft-shelled turtles from others.

only,
If you meet some people who are really pitiful and you feel worthy of helping, just watch and buy a few more of his turtles.

At that time, most of the purchase of soft-shelled turtles has the nature of doing good deeds, rather than just needing them.

After counting the animals, Luo Xuan went to count the stocks of grains such as rice and corn.

As for sweet potatoes,

It is the food of goats, wild boars, rabbits, hens and earthworms, and it cannot be sold for money for the time being.
