Corn was found from the Americas, and through the ship to return to the Navy time, has reached the middle of the year, corn is the existence of autumn grain, generally speaking, can not winter, the cold will make it lose its activity to die, this is the fundamental cultivation of corn, at the same time, relative to wheat, rice these, in the south do not say, in the north, the growth period is relatively short.

More than 10 days, a little more than four months, which is a new thing for most farmers who grow through wheat, it takes time to adapt.

Fortunately, the laboratory, the agricultural institute, and some agricultural experts, have a comprehensive guidance on the cultivation of corn, this guidance is all-round, all over the whole planting of all aspects.

Although there are certain problems in the cultivation of 2 million mu, there are some problems, and some have caused a reduction in production because of mistakes, but on the whole, the overall rise is very gratifying.

Before, in the teaching of the experts, and in the presence of the examples before them, they half-convincedly accepted that they were grain-growing in themselves, that they were workers, not peasants, and that there was no peasant in the traditional sense of the peasantry under the strategy of setting the navy.

After the establishment of the navy occupied the Liaoning, because of the blows against some of the great nobles, and for the redemption of some ordinary peasantry, it was finally caused, in the hands of private hands of the land, a very small, almost negligible.

When the government took possession of the land on a large scale and began to cultivate regularly and orderly, the whole navy existed in the form of farms, and these workers took their wages according to the month, of course, if the grain was good, there would be bonuses, but this bonus, in the whole wage ratio, only occupied 30%, and in addition to horizontal comparison, basically, the fluctuation was not very large.

This is something from the top down, and it is determined that the Navy attaches great importance to it, so it is still seriously planted.

All these people are very experienced, and have been scientifically cultivated, very experienced in planting, and this new product of corn, once planted, has shown its characteristics.

In the seedling period, it is somewhat different from ordinary food crops, in non-stop lifting, after pumping, it is even more so, compared with ordinary food crops, small leaves, small plants, this corn plant is very large, huge leaves, non-stop to do photosynthesis, more huge root stems, from the land, constantly extracting a variety of nutrients, and finally, concentrated on the fruit.

Among the experimental fields, they are the first, some cultivation methods given by Zhao Xin, even if they have experience and scientific research methods, but in the end, there are still errors, under the scientific method, gradually research, correct some basic methods, and finally, form a rule method.

This rule, nor the whole rule, will be accompanied by constant research, continuous cultivation, and gradual revision and change, and eventually, a systematic method will be formed to the whole farm method.

More than three months later, under the concentrated management of the whole farm, most of the fields, the rise of corn is very gratifying, almost every plant above, there is a large corn cob.

Among crops, there is no larger crop than corn cobs, but in food, such a growth method is really very rare.

This method of growth, with wheat and rice, is two kinds of grain, wheat and rice, are rice ears or wheat grains, they are thirty or forty or fifty or sixty times the magnification rate, but corn, a corn above, how many corn seeds, at least one or two hundred, this rate is naturally determined.

The real situation, let them have to believe that such a kind of food, that is really excellent, it was the first time planting, but in the planting of seeds, has made a certain calculation, know the weight of the seeds, in measuring the rise of corn, said is the yield of 8 stones, really can not be overdone.

Ready to harvest, eight stones per acre, at the same time, this is also a new product, certainly not like the previous wheat, the use of machinery and equipment, reduce manpower, for this reason, the entire Navy, not only from other farms, but also from the army, the reserve, drawn personnel, ready to deal with the autumn harvest work of so 2 million acres of land, at the same time, also from the major feed mills a large number of personnel.

From the first batch of corn ashore, to now, large-scale planting, almost a year, from the corn landing began to prepare, after the completion of the planting of the experimental field, the first batch of research and experiments, and then, in the fixed navy, opened a large-scale factory system, feed processing plant.

Through scientific formulation, reasonable layout, industrial methods, the production of professional feed, to cope with the use of different breeds of livestock, this traditional, by each household, small workshop-like production mode, to intensive, factory-style way of change.

The method of industrialization of large factories, for the various industries in the past, is a huge improvement, after a certain adjustment and planning, the entire fixed navy, also made changes, from the original various kinds of free-stocking, to centralized support.

Feeding livestock, which in later generations, is a derogatory term, the first thing the purchaser will think of, that is, the meat is not good.

It is true that feed culture, or the premise of adding too much feed, on the basis of meat, they are very different from the original, there is no original good taste, the taste is not good, this is also in the future, such feed culture is not sought after the reason, but in the early stage of reform and opening up, in China's gradual development, this is the solution to the big problem.

Only after the use of feed, will let the meat output show an increase in the trend, this and fertilizer for the improvement of food, in the 21st century, under the premise of science and technology and the gradual development of life, people began to pursue higher quality, safer meat, but before this, before the practice of the problem is not solved, to increase production is necessary.

After treatment of feed, more efficient than eating grass directly, do not want to say the difference in nutritional value, that is to say, eating feed than grass, can be reduced by at least half the degree, simple this, for the cultured meat, it is quite useful.

If we say that before it was only in the test field, planting 10,000 mu of corn, even if they produce 3 tons of straw per acre, it is only tens of thousands of tons, green storage, experiments, and research will consume a lot, and finally help the feed factory to complete the overall positioning, and finally completed the design, played a considerable role, but this feed factory, there is no large-scale construction.

Like the cotton weaving before it, and other textile industries, the basis of these industries is that cotton is cultivated to a certain extent before it is opened.

This is the inevitable process of raw materials for plants, when a raw material can not be provided, a year of work for a few months, or half a year under the premise, that for the entire factory machinery and equipment, it is a waste.

Cotton textiles are like this, feed is the same, there is no large-scale planting of corn, a large number of construction of feed mills, is a waste.

Although Zhao Xin knows that the future feed factory is a huge prospect, even said that the huge expected industry, in the future, even created a large number of China's richest people, but before the corn is not large-scale planting, forced to open the feed factory, is not the best choice.

In a full year, there was no physical at first, but some plants in the laboratory were studied, and after the test field was harvested, almost 50,000 tons of straw were said, not much, said less and less, at least enough in the laboratory, small-scale promotion and production, is also enough.

In the laboratory, after more than half a year of research, after small factory production, accumulated a considerable amount of experience, the formation of a systematic, complete production method, and then began large-scale cultivation.

50,000 tons of straw is nothing, plus other kinds of raw materials, probably able to produce 7.8 million tons of feed, this for cattle, a year down, need one or two tons, 70,000 tons, that is, to feed 70,000 or 80,000 cattle, this is in the individual, and even some companies in the degree, has been a very large scale, but for large-scale feed factories, for some national monopoly breeding enterprises, really not a large number.

However, when the number of planting, increased to 2 million mu, according to this output, the output of feed may increase to 6 million tons, this number is quite amazing, if the cattle, enough to raise 3 million, the horse pig, there will be more, as for the poultry, it is more, this is a huge industry, and the future, there will be more.

Zhao Xin has a complete plan for the cultivation of grain, and now the cultivation of corn has reached its limit, not because of the land, but because of the seeds.

The first time to get ten tons of seeds, after the planting of the experimental field, a total of 14,000 acres, after the terrible value-added speed of corn, and finally expanded to 2 million acres, if according to this number, to this year, once these corn harvest, they are all as seeds, you can expand to 300 million acres.

Although this is not the plan of Zhao Xin for the Navy, the limit of corn planting area, set the Navy control of the land, the long-term arable land, will reach between 1.4 billion and 1.8 billion, is expected to grow one-third of corn.

In this way, a total of about 500 million mu, according to the output of 8 stones, that is, the annual output of 4 billion stones, according to each person's 8 stone words, simple corn can feed 500 million people.

The Navy will certainly not rely on corn to feed, the same weight of corn, purely from the nutritional value, is certainly not as good as wheat and rice, but he is a stable foundation, if there is a big problem, there is a corn reserve as the basis, will not produce a food crisis.

Similarly, corn, in addition to feed, alcohol, and many industrial products, their basic raw materials are corn.

If food, continuous research, in the fertilizer, organic fertilizer, and various scientific breeding methods, under the premise of non-stop promotion, food production will continue to increase, 1.5 billion mu to 1.8 billion mu of grain, enough to feed most of the population, at least in the designated navy population, more than 1 billion before, there is no problem.

This 1.5 to 1.8 billion, simply refers to the north, the original Liaoguo, Japan and North Korea, and the surrounding islands on the land, without adding the south, is the land of Southeast Asia, simply an Indonesian, there are 450 million acres of land, too much nearly 200 million, the whole of Southeast Asia combined, more than 1 billion, the most critical is that this is tropical land.

China has 9.6 million square kilometers of land and 1.5 million square kilometers of arable land, so that 1.3 billion people can be fed.

Indonesia is only 330,000 square kilometers of arable land, which supports the population of 250 million, or no large-scale fertilizer, as well as scientific cultivation under the premise, this is the benefit of the tropics, three times a year, four times a year, the total output adds up to a very amazing, not only can ensure the use of the country, but also large-scale export.

That is to say, in the future, more Southeast Asia, and if Southeast Asia is used as a granary, China will not have to worry about food for a long time, so after ensuring food and clothing, the food problem has been raised.

2 million mu, a total output of 6 million tons of straw, plus other ingredients, may produce about 8 million tons of feed, this amount is very large, can have a huge effect on breeding.

In order to determine the current level of science and technology and research level of the Navy, perhaps, the annual output of 8 million tons of feed factories, some difficulties, but the annual output of 4 million tons, or 2 million tons, there is no problem.

The efficiency and cost of large factories can be controlled very well, but in contrast, they cannot do so because of transportation problems.

In this era, even at the end of the 19th century, the problem of transportation has been regarded as a very good solution, but this solution is good, only on the linkage of trains and water transport, from the short distance above, not a very good solution, just rely on small boats, or carriages, cattle carts to solve.

The reason why the straw in the 21st century has not been fully applied, on the one hand, is that the output is too large, and the entire feed factory in China, together, may not be able to digest the end, so there is a part of the waste is a natural phenomenon.

On the other hand, it is in the transportation, if it is too far, when the freight exceeds a certain limit, the cost of the feed will rise, which does not meet the positioning of the feed, some is not easy to transport, it is easy to be abandoned.

In the 21st century, there is such a problem, in this era, in the motor vehicle did not appear, but there is no tractor and there is no such thing as a tractor, short-distance transportation has become a huge limit, then the feed factory must be adapted to the local conditions, impossible to build too much.
