Chapter 2062 Farm Mechanization

Uzbekistan city.

Wang Huzi sat in the office looking at the report that had just been compiled.

There are two of them in total.

One is the corn harvest situation of various farms this year.

This is divided into two parts.

One part is ordinary food, which accounts for one third and is mainly used for daily expenses of the farm.

It is also used to exchange for other supplies.

The remaining two thirds are for breeding, and all that is grown are Yangcun No. 1.

One third of it is used domestically, and the rest is exported.

Of course, most of it was exported to the Alliance and then exchanged for supplies.

This is no different from previous years. The only difference is that this year the farms deliver the products earlier than in previous years.

The other report is a report on this year's sowing fields.

In order to rotate the land and ensure a good harvest, farms will choose to plant a number of crops, mainly wheat, which is commonly known as winter wheat.

Due to the vast territory of Urumqi 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 the final data.

It’s just that this data is a bit abnormal.

He knows the data of previous years very well, and the difference will not be too big.

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 tapped the table and pointed at the numbers on the report with a serious expression.

He didn't believe that others couldn't see such an obvious problem.

But it was still delivered to his table. There must be something wrong.

"The area planted with wheat here is half more than last year."

Wang Huzi asked seriously.

This is the entire Ukrainian Xinjiang. The extra half means more food.

This is no small matter.

Secretary Qian took a deep breath calmly, then put down the enamel pot in his hand and said, "Ordinarily, these two documents should be submitted after November 11, and we will submit them after reviewing them."

"But you've also noticed that the data here is a little different from previous years. I also find it strange, so I asked my comrades to check it out again to see if there is a problem in any link."

"As a result, the data not only did not decrease, but increased."

At this point, Wang Huzi frowned, looking at the newly opened land figures in the report, "Is someone falsifying it?"

Secretary Qian smiled and shook his head after hearing this, "That's what I thought at the beginning."

“Later, I visited several farms down below and discovered the problem.”

"what is the problem."

“It’s a big problem, one we ignored before.”

Secretary Qian stood up and walked to the map of Uzbekistan hanging nearby, and gestured with his hand, "Old Wang, look, we have so much land here."

"There are two basins between three mountains, with oil, iron, coal, and a lot of land."

"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 precious land but cannot make full use of it."

After hearing what Secretary Qian said, Wang Huzi also came forward and looked at the huge map of Urumqi with a serious expression.

Although there are Gobi deserts and a lack of water here, there is still a lot of arable land.

At the very least, it is more than the neighboring Qinxi.

But now, the population loss caused by the war has put the development here into a difficult situation.

However, with the gradual establishment of farms in recent years and the continuous migration of inland population, the development here is getting faster and faster.

More than 20 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 cultivated.

In addition, with the emergence of the new type of corn blood jade, many saline-alkali lands that were not previously cultivated are now planted with corn.

In this case, there will be more land waiting to be planted.

The two stood in front of the map and suddenly fell silent.

Wang Huzi didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Secretary Qian to speak.

Secretary Qian suddenly pointed to a small dot, the markings on which clearly indicated that it was a farm.

“This Shihegan Farm is surrounded by a seasonal river, and the farm is right around it.”

"When I went, guess what?"

"All the people on the farm are busy cultivating the surrounding land."

"Their farm owners said, 'All the farm work is done, I can't just sit there and watch, so I'll bring people to cultivate the land.' That's how the extra construction sites came about."

After Secretary Qian finished speaking, Wang Huzi became even more confused.

"I remember that we didn't have so much time in previous years."

He still knows something about farming.

He also knows that farmers work according to the solar terms.

Hearing this, Secretary Qian smiled and said, "That's why I said that we all overlooked a fact."

Wang Huzi listened carefully, and Secretary Qian did not keep him in suspense. He said with a smile, "This year, the biggest difference in Wujiang is that we have more agricultural machinery, which allows us to sow seeds faster."

"The second is the emergence of the corn thresher. Although this thing is not big, it is very useful."

"In the past, it took half a month, or even a month, for the farm to pick the corn and thresh it into storage." "During this period, the whole farm had to work hard for it, but now, a thresher only needs to work continuously for three to five days to thresh all the corn on the farm."

"Besides, we don't need so many people for threshing. Only about ten people are needed, and even only women and children can complete the work."

"These extra laborers can naturally do more work and cultivate the land."

"I estimate that this year we can only use one thresher for three to five farms. When we introduce a batch later, the efficiency will be even higher. By then, the cultivated area will not be halved, but may even double."

Secretary Qian slapped the map with his hand when he was happy. "This year we handed in 1,000 tons of grain, and next year we will have at least 15 million tons. This is a big deal."

This is what political achievements are.

Faced with Secretary Qian's excitement, Wang Huzi could no longer contain his inner excitement. He put his hands on his waist and stared at the map in a daze, his eyes full of hope.

If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.

Especially after experiencing difficult times, we understand more clearly how valuable food is.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Suddenly, Wang Huzi said three good words in a row with an excited expression.

Secretary Qian nodded, "So, it was the right decision for us to let the branch of Red Star Machinery Factory settle here."

"If we had more corn threshers, we would be better off next year."

"Oh, and there are tractors. Nowadays, most farms only have one. Now that the farms have expanded, one is not enough. There are also maintenance issues. If there is a malfunction, it is easy to delay the farming season."

"Also, we need more farm tools, such as the iron harrows and plows. Different soils require different depths. I remember that Sijiu City has already developed a harrow that can adjust the depth. We need to ask the machinery factory to produce it quickly."

"Also, this production requires steel, and the machines need oil to run."

Secretary Qian pointed his fingers at his palms and spoke bit by bit, as if he wanted to say everything that was in his heart.

When he looked up, he found that Wang Huzi was staring at him 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 touched his face, straightened his clothes, and then stared at Wang Huzi again.

"Old Qian, haven't you realized that the things you are thinking about now, you didn't dare to think about them before?"

Secretary Qian half opened his mouth, then suddenly laughed.

Wang Huzi also laughed when he saw this.

"In 1962, I followed a delegation to the Alliance for an inspection. At that time, I went to their farm."

"It's such a big place, but only a family of five is taking care of it."

"For this kind of land, you can drive a car to plow the land, sow seeds and apply fertilizers all in one go."

“When it’s time to harvest, we can collect the crops as soon as the cart starts moving.”

"A family of five can take care of such a large area with ease and still have plenty of time to attend the rally."

"At that time, I was thinking, when can we do this?"

Wang Huzi said this, looking at the report in his hand, "It seems that we have to vigorously develop mechanized farming in the future. Manpower alone is limited, but machines are unlimited."

"Now, we are also beginning to move towards mechanization."

Secretary Qian nodded and said, "Yes, mechanization. We should build a mechanized farm."

"It develops step by step and is promoted step by step."

Wang Huzi listened and nodded continuously, then took the report and looked at it again.

"I think we should start promoting it from next year."

Wang Huzi made the decision and Secretary Qian nodded in agreement, "So, we have to support the development of the machinery factory. We are counting on them for the future."

After hearing this, Wang Huzi stroked his stubble and nodded continuously, feeling even more proud.

It was his decision to establish the two factories.

Looking back now, this Northwest Branch can not only produce agricultural equipment such as tractors and tricycles, but also promote the development of Urumqi's machinery industry.

Really, I made a lot of money.

That’s not all. The branch factory in Yanzhou has also been put into production, and its radiating effect can also reach the surrounding areas. The Northwest will get better and better in the future.

The two suddenly looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"Old Qian, do you think I should give them a certificate of honor?"

Wang Huzi suddenly smiled, but Secretary Qian shook his head, "One certificate is not enough, at least we need a thank you letter, and then let fellow countrymen across the country know the good news."

"Yes, this is a good thing. We need to publicize it."

Thinking of this, Wang Huzi couldn't wait to pick up the phone and prepare to contact the branch factory.

But before he could make the call, he heard a knock on the door, and then saw Xiao Wu walking in anxiously with a telegram in his hand.

"Commander, this is an important message that we just received. Please take a look."

After saying that, he handed it to Wang Huzi.

In the past, everyone would use the telephone to exchange information.

After all, the phone is convenient and fast, and it is more realistic to hear it in person.

However, some important information will still be transmitted via encrypted telegrams.

At this moment, Wang Huzi looked at the level mark at the top of the telegram and his heart skipped a beat.

Xiao Wu stood aside and took a look at the contents of the telegram. He felt a little impressed by those people in foreign trade who could handle so many things.

But I am also a little nervous.

This amount of supplies is not a small number.

Last time, we got some equipment from the country of Hasa, but the alliance followed us all the way.

In the end, it was thanks to the concerted efforts of our comrades that we were able to accomplish it.

The supplies this time are dozens of times more valuable than last time. If the alliance knew about it, wouldn't they send a large army to intercept it?
Not only the alliance, but other forces as well cannot say that they are not tempted.

What to do in this case?
Difficult to deal with.
