Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 294 Sold 5000 catties of grain

The seeds in each production team are hard-won and selected by the members.

The big guys value these seeds more than their lives.

If you want the members of the 8 production teams to replace this batch of seeds.

The huge resistance contained in it can be imagined
Liao Xianming is certainly not a timid person.

The reason why he was frightened by Luo Xuan's proposal was not only because of the huge resistance and incomprehension of all the members.

Moreover, changing the grain seeds is still facing a huge risk!
If it is said that the use of war reserves, once it is investigated, it is very likely that it will be dismissed, or even put on a pair of watches and "go in" directly.

So if the seeds are replaced, the grain production of the entire production team will be greatly reduced this year.

Those two peanuts are definitely a must!
"Difficult!"

The captain was helped up by Luo Xuan.

Liao Xianming patted the dirt on his body while shaking his head: "Let's not say that the members don't understand, how difficult it will be to implement this matter.

Let’s just say that your food seeds have not been affirmed by the above, nor did they come from the raw capital stores of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Based on this alone, the risks involved in it. Luo Xuan, you should know it even if I don't tell you. "

Of course I know.

The risks involved in promoting rice, corn, and sweet potatoes bred in one's own space on a large scale are too great!
Therefore, even if Luo Xuan watched everyone helplessly last year, he could only eat half full.

I also didn't dare to take these seeds out for large-scale promotion and use.

Originally, according to my plan, I planned to test it on a small scale in the production team of Xiaolaojun.

Wait until the result can be determined, and then start selling the grain harvested in the space as seeds.

1 catty of seeds can be sold for at least 3 catties of grain!
Luo Xuan said, "I'm just offering a suggestion on this matter. For the specific situation, I'd like to ask the two uncles to make a careful calculation."

The old party secretary said: "Currently, the shortage of food in the production team is widespread.

It's just because everyone can still support some of the food distributed years ago.

It is still during the Spring Festival, and everyone is happy in their hearts. For the time being, no one has come to the brigade to apply for relief. . "

The old party secretary asked: "According to Luo Xuan's idea, should we first distribute the seeds in the storage room as rations to the commune members and let them survive for two months.

At that time, there will be more wild vegetables and wild fruits.Perhaps the members of the commune will be able to survive this period of spring famine. "

"And for the seeds of spring plowing this year, use Luo Xuanyi to purchase the seeds and plant them?"

in fact,

Eating seeds as rations is economically uneconomical.

But now, time waits for no one.

The Zhengxing brigade has already started to run out of food, and if measures are not taken in time, they will be afraid of the future.Can't wait for the food to be sold back.

In this way, it will be more troublesome later.

Therefore,
It is always right to plan ahead and take some necessary precautions in advance.

One week.

The surplus food of all the production teams can only survive a week at most.

And a week later, all people have to face the dilemma of having no food to eat.

It is very uneconomical to eat seeds as rations.

But it is quite difficult to use public funds to purchase ordinary rations in large quantities.

Those grain dealers in the frog market have already covered up the grain tightly. It is not a big problem for anyone to buy a high-priced grain of [-] to [-] catties.

If you buy too much, those grain dealers will not do it. In fact, they dare not!
Therefore,
Now those grain dealers, they would rather sell out piecemeal and a little bit, and never do business in large quantities.

Moreover, for a production brigade with about 2000 people, what is the use of buying this hundred and eighty catties of grain?
Listen to what the old party secretary said.

Luo Xuan nodded: "That's roughly what I mean, but."

"It's just that you don't want to take the risk of temporarily changing the seeds?"

Liao Xianming said: "Luo Xuan, you used to dare to fight, dare to break through, dare to think and dare to do that kind of hard work. After a year, will you give it to me?"

Luo Xuan scratched his head: "I haven't married a wife yet."

The old branch secretary waved his hand: "Let's understand this matter first, so don't embarrass yourself.

According to Luo Xuan's intention, let's eat the seeds as rations first, and then buy the seeds from Luo Xuan
Luo Xuan, just tell me the truth, how many catties per mu can you produce with this seed? "

The old party secretary is hesitating.

He needed to hear a certain word from Luo Xuan's mouth.

For the sake of the old party secretary's consideration: Should we make up our minds and follow Luo Xuan's method?

Luo Xuan said: "Our brigade's farmland irrigation facilities are not yet sound. Basically, we are half dependent on the sky.

So, old branch secretary, you want me to say a specific yield per mu, which I can't explain clearly.

If there is a drought, waterlogging, locust plague and rat plague, no one can tell how much food can be harvested.

So, all I can say is I got this seed.

It must be much better than the current seeds of the production team.The output should be much higher than the existing output. "

Captain Liao Xianming sighed, "Luo Xuan, Luo Xuan, I realize that you are becoming more and more cautious!
Now we don't have a single outsider here, what else are you afraid to say? "

Luo Xuan put one finger on the table, the small cloth pocket.

There are 1 catty of corn and 1 catty of rice in it.

And a few sweet potatoes.

I brought this up by myself and used it as a seed sample for the old party secretary and Captain Liao to taste.

"I've seen your seed. It's really plump and the color is good.

That corn has large grains, high sugar content, and a taste of waxy corn, but it is much larger than waxy corn.

Luo Xuan took the rice and bit it in his mouth, it was still a little sticky.

It seems that these rice, corn, and sweet potatoes are really good things! "

The old branch secretary said: "This is the kind of rice grown in the north, the so-called japonica rice, right?"

Luo Xuan shook his head: "The person who sold the seeds to me didn't explain what varieties these rice and corn belonged to.

It is only said to be experimentally bred.

As a result, before it could be promoted, something happened to their self-organized agricultural research institute!

The person in charge inside is also missing.

Therefore, he managed to throw out these newly bred varieties. "

this period,

Most of the rice varieties in the south use indica rice varieties in pursuit of yield.

The taste of this kind of rice is not very good when you eat it in your mouth.

It feels a bit "loose", lacks stickiness, and doesn't have much rice fragrance.

Captain Liao pondered: "A group of non-governmental agricultural research enthusiasts secretly formed a breeding team to cultivate improved seeds. Can the things they tinker with be reliable?"

Minke has not always been distrusted, which is second to none.More importantly, this batch of seeds did not come from formal channels.

This suddenly increased the responsibilities and risks on the shoulders of the old branch secretary and Captain Liao by countless times!
But they have no choice.

in case,

Now the seeds in the production team are not distributed to the commune members as rations, so that they can survive the famine in front of them.

Where does the big guy get the strength to carry out spring plowing?
Plant one chestnut in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn.

If even the spring plowing is delayed, one can imagine what kind of situation the production team will face when the autumn harvest comes.
While the old party secretary and Captain Liao were still carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Suddenly, outside the house, Zhou Laosan was calling: "Luo Xuan! Luo Xuan, great news, great news! Can you come out?"

When Luo Xuan went out to take a look, he saw Zhou Laosan holding a few yams in his hands, jumping his feet happily, "Big yam, use your yam plant, the few wild yams you planted What grows in the field are all big taro! All are big, hahaha!"

The old branch secretary and Captain Liao rushed over at once, grabbed a taro each, and held it up to watch.

"Why is it so big?"

Seeing the taro in his hand, not only the old taro weighs about 2 catties, but even the small taro attached to it weighs 3 or 4 pounds!

The old party secretary was taken aback, "This is your production team, the wild potato that was heavy last time?"

Zhou Laosan replied: "Yes, and the taro seeds in the fields where the big taro was dug out were all taken from Luoxuan's yard! The taro seeds dug from other places are not so big. .”

In the past, when I built a house by myself.

In order to save money for themselves, Aunt Zhang and Third Sister-in-law would go to the wild taro field behind Luoxuan House to dig some taro for food.

These yams are not big, so the yams split from the mother yam are even smaller.

There are even some small taro, only the size of a fingernail, which can't even be scraped off.

This inedible taro,

Aunt Zhang, the third sister-in-law and the others threw them into the wasteland in front of their thatched hut.

At that time, I was also out of curiosity, so I picked up all these discarded small wild yams.

After Uncle Zhang and the others got off work, they soaked them in the spring water of the space, piled them up in the yard, and prepared to use them as taro seeds.

later,

I encouraged the captain Peng Zhikun to lead the members of the 6th production team to plant wild yams on barren slopes and fields.

Peng Zhikun, who continued to seed, took the taro piled up in Luo Xuan's yard as seeds.

"These taro seeds were also sold to you by that person?"

Captain Liao held up a 4-jin taro, and asked Luo Xuan excitedly, "Does he still have taro seeds? How much does it cost per catty?"

Luo Xuan shook his head: "The price is not expensive, he calculated it for me at that time, it was only 2 cents and 5 cents per catty.

However, now I am not particularly sure whether he still has taro seeds. I have to ask him specifically after I find him. "

"It's done, this year's spring plowing, all the rice will be replaced with seeds!"

The old branch secretary stood up abruptly and stretched out his hand towards Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan was taken aback: "What?"

"Smoke! I know you have a pack of good cigarettes on you every day."

The old branch secretary took out two cigarettes, put them both in his mouth, and lit them with a match.

Then he handed one to Team Captain Liao at the side, and he whipped it up violently.
It's a big deal!

Lao Tzu's book is to rely on taking a few puffs of cigarettes to forcefully suppress his inner anxiety: "One more week. No, ten days!"

"At that time, I will call all the team leaders to a meeting and ask them to distribute all the seeds in the warehouse!"

The old branch secretary who smoked a cigarette into a cigarette butt in a few puffs rarely showed a stern look on his face, "If there is any small team leader who doesn't understand and doesn't implement it, I will give him a hard time this time!"

Don't look at the old party secretary getting angry, but in fact, his mind is still very clear!

Obviously he knew that the surplus food of the commune members would last five days to a week at most.

However, it is intentional that this official book will not be implemented until ten days later.

The purpose of the old party secretary doing this is to let the members experience the pain of starvation firsthand.

At that time, the seeds will be distributed as rations.

Thus.

The resistance encountered by brigade cadres will be much smaller.

——In this world, I am afraid that no one is willing to starve himself to death while watching food seeds
finally,
罗旋以稻谷每斤8角2分，玉米种子每斤7毛9分钱的价格，卖了5000斤种子给大队部。

This price seems very high, much more expensive than normal years.

But it is in line with the current market conditions.

Selling the seeds as rations is not a disadvantage, but it is not an advantage either.

We have reached this point. In fact, as long as it is food, the price is basically the same.

There are no rations or seeds.

When eaten in the stomach, its nutrition and weight are the same.

After agreeing on the price of the seeds, the old branch secretary asked, "Do you want to pay you some money first in the brigade?"

Luo Xuan shook his head: "That person is very sneaky, and it will take me a long time to contact him. With such a large amount of food, it is not an easy task to deliver."

In the end, Luo Xuan agreed with the old branch secretary and Captain Liao to deliver the goods in 20 days.

By the time,
Luo Xuan will drive a tractor, go to an unknown place alone, and bring back these seeds.

Moreover, Luo Xuan excused that the other party was very cautious and was unwilling to deal with people other than himself, so he rejected the proposal of the old branch secretary to send someone to go with him.

In addition,

Luo Xuan also asked Zhengxing brigade to provide 200 sacks.

this period,

Going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy sacks does not require any formalities.

But as an individual, buying so many sacks at once will inevitably make people feel strange.

And as a production team.

Go shopping all at once, not to mention 200 meters of sacks, even if you buy 2000, the supply and marketing cooperatives will not find it strange.

Seeing that in his own space, a new crop of crops can be harvested again.

At that time, a large number of sacks will be needed. Only by packing these grains can they be neatly stacked in the space and occupy less land.

I can take this opportunity to sell grain and prepare the sacks in advance.

That can be regarded as hugging grass and beating rabbits,
Incidentally.
