Chapter 1047:Extreme Planting

Feed production, promote a large number of meat production, but also let change the best food, milk and eggs, in the whole of China a large number of appear, there is a process, in the early stage, can not be popularized to everyone, eggs are needed to produce, milk and goat milk is also the same, especially cattle and goat milk, even if there is enough feed, there may not be enough milk sheep and cows, this need to be cultivated.

Just a temporary satisfaction, then, with the large-scale cultivation of corn, the large-scale production of feed, and the premise of sufficient raw materials, the entire fixed navy popularized the output of pigs and poultry, so that the dietary structure of the entire fixed navy changed on a large scale.

The popularity of corn, seemingly slow, is actually very fast, is from the beginning of the 13th anniversary, until the fifteenth year of the Qing calendar, reached the limit in the fifteenth year of the Qing calendar, and finally in the designated naval territory without large-scale expansion of the premise, 700 million mu is already a limit.

With the large-scale expansion of corn planting area, the price of corn also fluctuated greatly, in a full two years, corn from a rare thing that has just appeared, began to fall rapidly, the price of this decline is very terrible.

At the beginning, the price of a corn cob, in 1 to 3, when 2 million acres of land, a total of 16.5 million stone of corn, which was selected, more than 80% to be planted, plus loss, after all, in the selection process, only the particles are full, will be selected seeds, under the premise of insufficient seeds, the elimination of those, basically, there are such problems.

These problems of corn, remove the bad, and then remove some that are not suitable for food, and in the end, the rest, can be 10%, has been considered good.

Close to 90% as seeds, left for next year planting, that is, only 10% into the market, that is, 1.65 million stone.

Corn weight is not small, if there is no kind of drying, according to a pound of two corn cobs to calculate, that is, more than 300 million corn cobs, sounds a lot, to hundreds of millions of this level, but think of the Navy population, close to 100 million people, one-third of children, more than 30 million children, even if you remove less than 2 years old, can not eat corn, more than 2 years old, there are 10 million, everyone can not average 15.

Food as food is because, food is to eat every day, even if you eat a meal full, the next meal is also need to eat, so under the premise, each child eats a lot of corn.

If in other places, spend 2-3 straight, buy a food for the child, it is simply difficult to imagine, two or three is difficult, but in the fixed navy, under the premise of the average monthly salary of about 300, to buy one or two for the child as a taste, this is completely acceptable, now, even a person can not popularize, some love children, or children like to eat, often ten eight purchases.

Children eat, is just needed, but the taste of corn is very good, even ordinary people, but also like to eat, as a rare thing, eat more people, so average down, maybe everyone eat a few more, it is not enough, which makes this corn more tight.

Things are rare, things are less, more people buy, the price of course, soaring, this is the end, people are stunned by the price.

At first, Zhao Xin set down the price of 1 run, in his sense, has been very high, according to the price of rice, can buy 150 pounds of rice, that is equivalent to the price of 450 yuan a corn in the future, along with the purchase of more and more people, 1 price can not stand at all, and then rose to 2, 3 straight.

After 3, no longer rose, the reason is very simple, after a series of concentrated delivery, corn has been finished, a total of 1.65 million stones, that is, the supply of almost 2 months, even the New Year did not wait, sold out.

On the contrary, some people want to eat, but do not eat, very much produced some storm, the final thing is getting bigger and bigger, got the cabinet, and even alarmed Zhao Xin, no way, no way, too many people to want, has produced, there is no way to eat, the rest, to stay in the large-scale popularization, of course, it is impossible to take out food.

At this time, in the food research institute, there is a special greenhouse planting of corn, about 6000 acres, itself is improved and seed research, this batch of seeds, because the genetics are not very good, can not exist as seeds, itself, is to prepare other uses, or as canned, or processed into other food.

Now, in this aspect of corn cobs, with a huge demand under the premise, is to be able to take out, 6000 acres of corn, an acre yield of about 9 stone, that is, 54,000 stones, close to 5.4 million pounds, although this number is still not much, it is impossible to supply the entire demand, but in the annual festival, it is a good choice.

This batch of corn that was urgently squeezed out, in the annual festival, also sold at a very high price, one up to five times.

Even if it is only more than 2 million acres, even if only one-tenth of the output, the total amount is almost sold 350 million, which is the advantage of new products, but this advantage will soon not be preserved.

If Zhao Xin is just a person who pursues just interests, he will not expand the output of corn on a large scale, and a certain amount of corn can be created in a long time, creating a relatively high interest, and once the large-scale popularization, the price of corn will certainly not be so high.

It seems that 1.65 million stones have sold 3 times the high price, but if it is increased by 10 times, it will be 3 times, 100 times, 1000 times, things are rare, this is said, without this scarcity as a prerequisite, the price will soon come down.

Zhao Xin, as the emperor of China, can not be said unceremoniously, the entire Navy is his wealth, even if the power of the harvest method is not used, that is, some of the enterprises invested by Zhao Xin, some enterprises, Zhao Xin's money can be countless.

Zhao Xin certainly will not be short-sighted, for hundreds of millions of money, and ignore the huge role of corn, corn is to change the human race, improve the human body structure of one of the best things, must be large-scale promotion.

Under the premise of Zhao Xin's large-scale promotion, the planting area of corn has expanded almost 100 times per year, from the first batch of 2 million mu to the second batch of 140 million mu, and then to the third batch, reaching the limit, 700 million mu.

Corn is a high-yield crop, the rate is very terrible, this is also the root cause of high corn yield, in order to expand the scale of planting, the first large-scale planting, most of the remaining planting, but to the second batch, the total amount of planting in more than 140 million mu under the premise, this year's things, do not use to retain.

According to the appearance of 100 times, that is, 14 billion acres of land are needed, which is more than ten times the total land for the current fixed navy, it is impossible for the Navy to plant, and the comprehensive cultivation of corn, although good, planting one-third, is already the limit, and there is no need to continue planting.

With the popularity of corn, in the 14th year of the Qingqian, the planting area has exceeded 140 million mu, and the income is 1 billion stone, without the need to keep all kinds of seeds, then the excess part will naturally flow into the market.

1 billion stone, if the 100 million people in the Navy, eat corn, can not eat, Northern Song this era, because of the relationship between oil and water, everyone eats a lot of food every year, but no matter how much, will not exceed 600 pounds, that is, more than 50 pounds of grain per month, this number average to every day, are close to 2 pounds.

This is pure food, rather than food products, but the average person 10 stone, that is, 1000 pounds, so the average to every day, it is more than 3 pounds, this grain, in any case, can not eat, not to mention, now the Navy popularizes a variety of side foods and meat, plus fruit and other complementary foods, for the food intake greatly reduced, a day can eat 1 kg, is already very high.

Supply and demand, is always an important factor in the price, when the purchase of more people, the supply is insufficient, the price immediately soared, but when the supply is sufficient, the purchase of less people, the backlog of goods, in order to sell out, we must reduce the price.

Corn is actually the case, even if it does not consider the problem of amplified production, it is said that the original, expanding the output by a hundred times, the actual supply of 1000 times, the price of corn immediately flew down three thousand feet, from 3 per thousand, quickly fell to about 30 words.

Although the overall price, the weight is measured, it is several times more expensive than flour, rice, but with the beginning, it is almost the world apart, the decline is very obvious.

This is not the end, to celebrate the fifteenth year, the planting area of corn has finally reached the limit, in the whole north, including Japan and North Korea, a total of 700 million acres of corn, then the final harvest, up to 6.7 billion stone, the total amount of planting, has been terrible to a considerable extent, corn is finally, from a rare, rapid fall, into the most ordinary food crop, the price reached 500 pieces per stone, and reduced five or six times, become the cheapest grain.

This is a very reasonable price, because of the Navy's transportation and labor costs, coupled with some taxes, grain prices are relatively high, the price of flour is about 800 words per stone, the price of rice is about 1200 words.

Rice is 2.4 times higher than corn, relatively high, but it is also a moderate price, after all, the yield of corn is too large, and the area planted is also very terrible.

Initially, the first test of planting, reached about 8 stone mu yield, through two or three years of time, cultivate good seeds, strengthen planting management, summed up a series of corn planting methods and methods, and finally, let the mu of production began to improve, in the best field, after a certain degree of breeding, the limit weight will reach 11 stones, the average is more than 9.5 stone,

Such an acre of corn, so that the planting of an acre of corn, equivalent to 2 acres of rice, inside, although the rice yield, is more than 5 stone, but after processing, threshing, polishing and a series of processing, the total output of rice, is certainly less than 4 stone, but corn, in addition to threshing, there is no other work to do, even to a certain extent, no drying, can also.

The emergence of corn, and large-scale popularization, but not the Navy's most important food, as a modulation can, as a staple food, that can not, the Chinese occasionally taste fresh, if every day is corn cob, corn gluten, corn kernels, I am afraid the gastrointestinal will not be able to stand.

At the same time, the land occupied by the Navy, which is now cultivated, about 180,000 mu, and the planting area of 700 million mu has exceeded one-third, which is not unwilling to increase, or to increase it.

On the top of the grain, the people of the Navy still prefer to eat rice noodles, the valley occasionally eats a little, and it is possible to eat for a long time, not the choice of many people.

Most of the corn, are used as raw materials, such as wine, the Navy is located in the high latitudes, in order to keep warm, drinking has become an inevitable choice, and then as the raw material of industry, a small part also into the field of grain processing, although the taste of corn is not very good, but through the processing of starch, there are other things, or can be eaten.

After the planting area of more than 700 million mu, the utilization rate of corn poles is also declining, no way, can not all the corn, all made of feed, not to mention the added part, said corn itself, 700 million mu, representing 2.1 billion tons of feed, even the proportion of 10 to 1 crude feed, 2.1 billion tons of feed, can also produce 210 million tons of meat.

With the current population of the entire Navy and Northern Song, no one per year, more than a ton of meat can not be eaten, even if it is all meat.

Not to mention, it is not realistic to complete such a huge corn poles throughout the entire designated naval land area to be processed into feed.

The selection is better, more suitable for processing, but also the relationship between the solid distance, some of the feed factory is too far away, in fact, is abandoned.

Of course, the method of green storage, has also been advertised to everyone, if the workers, their own leisure, you can save some, for their own livestock to the breeding, this is also possible, but these utilization rate is not high, just sporadic, a person's limited ability, even if there is a perfect, scientific method, can only produce a lot of feed, plus breeding, in general, just the simplest breeding, a pig or two, dozens of chickens.

For this, Zhao Xin also has no way, only to popularize the crusher as much as possible, after the straw is crushed, after a certain fermentation, as the bottom fertilizer, into the soil, although this will occupy a considerable human hand, there are a certain cost, but it is the most suitable way to deal with corn pole, otherwise, it must be the same as the future, directly burned, that is the worst way, not only pollute the environment, and there is no way to produce any benefits.

The discovery of a corn has made a huge change in the Navy, which also stimulated the exploration fleet from the side, the three major crops in the Americas, but found one, the other two, they also need to work hard.
