Chapter 1071 Establishing a Company (Second Update!)
"Okay, An Tong, this is the method of retting farmyard manure. It will take more than half a month in total. There is still one month before spring plowing. It should be enough for every household to make some farmyard manure to improve land fertility and increase food production. !" Wang Ping said after handing over the method he had figured out to Ouyang Antong.

"It's so simple to make fertilizer~" An Tong stared with disbelief.

"Yes, in fact, the common people have been making farmyard manure for a long time. The only problem is that they only use livestock manure, which is very small. They can only grow vegetables, and there is no farmyard manure available in the fields. Now I use plants and crops. After the straw is added, the amount of farmyard manure they retting will greatly increase, and it is mature farmyard manure, which will not harm the crops, so it will definitely be useful~”

An Tong immediately affirmed: "Okay, we will call a meeting tomorrow to promote this method!"

At this time, Wang Ping hesitated and continued to ask: "I passed a village when I came here. There are more than 100 people in the village, but there is only more than 100 mu of land. I observed it, and there are many people around the 100 mu of land With less wasteland, and without destroying the trees, it will definitely be no problem to reclaim another [-] mu of land!"

"I believe this is not an isolated case in Yanchang County. I just don't understand. Since there is not enough food, why not cultivate more land and increase land production by increasing the cultivated area!"

The smile on Ouyang Antong's face froze instantly.

After opening the notebook of his visit records, he replied: "This is indeed not an isolated case, this situation exists in the entire Yanchang County!"

"If I'm not wrong, you should be talking about Zhonggu Village. I went there a few days ago. There are 106 people in the village and 125 acres of arable land!"

"The reason for not increasing the arable land is simple, they don't have enough labor to cultivate the extra land!"

"I counted 106 people in the village, only 32 of them are strong laborers, and the rest are old, weak, women and children."

"What's more, the village is too poor. There is no cattle in the whole village. Plowing the fields and cultivating all depends on manpower."

"A strong labor force, with a woman, can cultivate at most three acres of land a year, and there is no way to do more!"

"You think they don't want to reclaim wasteland, but there is really no way!"

"Without labor to increase the arable land, the food that can be harvested in the autumn harvest is very limited, not even enough to eat, let alone buy livestock. So, they can only cultivate the few acres of land from generation to generation, and then starve!"

Relying entirely on manpower to cultivate the land, Wang Ping stared with disbelief, and finally understood why in the southwestern base area of ​​Shanxi, ordinary people can easily cultivate two acres of arable land per capita.Here, even one mu of land per capita may not be able to be cultivated.

Seeing Wang Ping frowning and not speaking, Ouyang Antong asked subconsciously: "Wang Ping, do you have a solution!"

Wang Ping didn't answer, but frowned and asked, "An Tong, how much money does our family have now?"

Ouyang Antong didn't know why her husband suddenly talked about how much money the family had, but she still replied straightforwardly: "I really don't know the exact amount, I have to do the math!"

"In the past two years, both of us have been subsidized, and there are several close allowances. We hardly use them at ordinary times, and we keep them all. One or two hundred yuan is definitely available."

"After you arrived in Yan'an, the Ministry of Economic Affairs gave you several bonuses one after another. I remember a total of 350 yuan!"

"Also, after you came back from the Suide Military Region, Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Intelligence sent us 500 yuan, saying that this is a reward from the Ministry of Intelligence for you!"

"When I got married, you gave me 150 yuan, a large yellow croaker, and some gold and silver jewelry as dowry gifts. My parents gave them all to me, and I kept them all. It was useless!"

"Except for the ocean we spent during this time, there must be 100 yuan ocean, and there is also a large yellow croaker and some gold and silver jewelry!"

Wang Ping nodded, then hesitated for almost a minute before replying, "I do have an idea."

"Take out 2000 yuan of ocean and a large yellow croaker, and set up a company in the border area government in the name of my father-in-law. As long as this company is established, I will have a solution to the problem of the lack of livestock in Yanchang County, and it will also increase the income and production of the people. Get rid of poverty and become rich!"

"Establish a company!" Ouyang Antong was stunned.

In his view, the two problems of establishing a company and solving livestock problems are completely irrelevant and cannot be related together.

And her husband's swearing answer made her choose to believe again, and then she stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"How to do it!"

Wang Ping didn't hide anything, and replied directly: "I plan to use the money to buy fifty cattle and three thousand lambs from Shanxi!"

"Currently, a cow is about 50 yuan a head, an adult goat is 2000 yuan a piece, and a lamb is cheaper, and you should be able to buy it for a dollar. [-] yuan plus a large yellow croaker will definitely buy these livestock back!"

"The cattle are leased to the common people for their use. I don't charge money for one mu of land. When the autumn harvest comes, just give me [-] catties of grain!"

As for the lambs, as long as someone is willing to raise them, I can divide each household into two sheep, one male and one female.After a year, the two sheep will definitely produce lambs, and I can leave them with two lambs, one male and one female, as a yearly reward.If they are willing to continue to raise them, they can raise them. Our company will take back all the other sheep that are not willing to continue and give them to other ordinary people to raise! "

"Because the scale of the company is not large at the moment, we can only consider Yanchang County. Next year, when the company has enough funds, we will further increase the number of cattle and expand to other counties."

"When the common people have money in their hands, I can sell the farm cattle to them again!"

Ouyang Antong frowned, hesitated for a long time and asked, "Is the rent of [-] catties of grain per acre of land too high for leasing the cattle to the common people?"

"If I remember correctly, now a hundred catties of grain costs two yuan, and a farm ox costs 50 yuan, and 120 catties of grain can be bought, which means that one cow only needs to cultivate more than [-] mu of land a year. You can get all the capital back, or should it be lower!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "It's not expensive at all!"

"When it comes to farming methods, I thought of another problem. Because there are no livestock, the common people here rely on human power to plow the fields, but after they have cattle, they can carry out deep plowing. The yield of deep plowing land must be higher than shallow plowing. Plow more!"

"This means that the common people didn't pay much, but also liberated the labor force, and each household can cultivate a few acres of land. It is possible to produce hundreds of catties of grain a year, or even thousands of catties!"

Ouyang Antong nodded and replied: "This is really not much!"

"People's food production has increased, and with livestock, life will definitely get better and better. We have also made money, killing two birds with one stone, I agree!"

"It's just that I don't know if my father will agree. After all, his favorite thing is teaching!"

"Of course, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!" Wang Ping affirmed, explaining by the way.

"Besides, this company is only under the name of my father-in-law. He doesn't need to do anything. Those who are willing to teach can continue. Don't worry about the management. I have many battlefield injuries in the Xinyi Regiment and I can't return For the old subordinates of the army, we can let them come over to help with the operation, and also increase their income by the way. More importantly, they are worthy of my trust!"

"In that case, I agree!" Ouyang Antong no longer hesitated, and answered very positively.
