"We currently have about 200 million mu of cultivated land, but it is only the simplest land reclamation, which is far from those good cultivated land. This year, only about one million mu can be cultivated deeply, and the remaining million mu this year will be It is impossible to cultivate deeply. We also organize people to develop animal husbandry, fishery, and forestry. Although I can’t guarantee it completely, as long as there are no major problems this year, I think not only the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps, but also the Northeast Infrastructure Construction Corps, the Northeast A few agricultural colleges, and some dependents who follow them to be self-sufficient should not be a problem."

Although very cautious, Li Jishen is quite confident.

At present, the Northeast Construction Corps includes not only the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps, but also the Northeast Infrastructure Construction Corps, as well as agricultural colleges and other institutions under the Corps, as well as some family members who follow, with a total of 10 people.

Li Jishen talked with those agricultural experts.

According to the current grain yield per mu in Northeast China, as long as there are no major problems, this year's harvest should be no less than 3000 million catties.In order to build the Corps, the cabinet assigned them more than 5 cattle, as well as a large number of seeds, and agricultural farming tools.Therefore, the Agricultural Construction Corps of about 100 people can carry out deep cultivation for 100 million mu, and another [-] million mu can be easily cultivated and produce output.If the output is a little better this year, especially if the output of potatoes is a little higher, it is possible to harvest [-] billion catties by then.At that time, not only will there be enough for the construction corps, but there will be a lot of them that can be sold.

In addition to agriculture, the Construction Corps is also developing fishery, animal husbandry, and forestry.In the Great Northern Wilderness, there are good conditions to develop these.Needless to say, if you are self-sufficient this year, you can also earn a high income.

But Li Jishen knew that talking too much would not do him any good.After all, this is just their estimate.If it can't be done, it will be embarrassing at that time.

"How many people will the Northeast Construction Corps plan to recruit this year?"

"Prime Minister, we want to see the situation. If this year's harvest is not very good, we will adjust the planting next year. Then we will recruit five divisions. If this year's harvest is good, then we will recruit ten divisions." Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps The goal is to reclaim at least ten million mu of arable land and grow three to four billion catties of grain by 1930."

There is a time for recruits to be collected.

All after the autumn harvest.Because recruiting recruits at this time will not affect the autumn harvest, and there will be spring plowing in the second year.In fact, Li Jishen was already prepared to conscript [-] divisions this year.Ten divisions were sent to the Northeast Construction Corps, two divisions were sent to the Mongolian Construction Corps, and then the Shaanxi Construction Corps was formed.

Of course, all this depends on the achievements of the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps this year.

"kindness."

This cannot be rushed.

Later, many historians made statistics on the farming society.In an agricultural society with underdeveloped productive forces, if there are no major changes, then the total social wealth created every year for hundreds of years, which is what is called "GDP" later, will not change much.Because the yield per mu has not changed much, and the area of ​​cultivated land has not changed much, so the total grain output has not changed much.

Food is the most important thing in farming society, and food is the greatest wealth.Because the total grain output has not changed much for hundreds of years, the total social wealth created each year will not change much either.

The emergence of industrial civilization changed this situation.

At present, China's agriculture has not received much industrial support.Agriculture is still traditional agriculture.Without the support of industrial technology, agriculture cannot develop by leaps and bounds.

The same is true for the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps.

It can only develop slowly.

Fortunately, the land there is good, with plenty of sunshine, rain, and confluence, so the grain output will not be too low.

"I hope that by 1935, you will have reclaimed about 3000 million mu of arable land there, and the grain output will reach [-] billion catties. It can supply the entire northeastern city."

"Prime Minister, we will work hard."

After learning about the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps, Duan Xun got into the topic and said, "I asked everyone to come today because of what Premier Wang said two days ago. It is the oil issue."

"I asked everyone to come today because of what Premier Wang said two days ago. It is the oil issue."

After talking with Li Jishen about the construction of the Corps, Duan Xun returned to the original topic and said, "After Prime Minister Wang finished speaking two days ago, I also made a simple understanding. If the world's main energy source for the past 200 years is coal, then The main energy source for the next 100 years should be oil. We will definitely need oil in all aspects in the future, and there will be a lot of oil. According to preliminary statistics from the Bureau of Statistics, the current annual demand for cars in China is more than [-]. The demand for passenger cars and trucks will be about [-] vehicles per year. Of course, this is just the beginning. With the development of China's economy in the future, coupled with the abundance of government finances, China's auto market will continue to expand, and the annual demand will reach several Hundreds of thousands, or even millions of vehicles. With the expansion of China's automobile market, the demand for oil will continue to increase. The oil produced in China is not enough for government agencies and the military alone, and it is even more open to the private sector. Impossible. The gasoline currently used by the people in our country is also imported. That is to say, if we cannot solve the oil problem in the next few years, we will have to import large quantities of oil from abroad in a few years. Maybe Hundreds of thousands of tons, millions of tons of oil are imported every year."

In fact, Wang Yongjiang said this sentence before.

Duan Xun repeated it to Liang Huankui and Li Jishen.Of course, there are also some investigations of PetroChina by Duan Xun in the past two days.

The situation is serious.

Now a car uses at least one ton of gasoline a year. Even if calculated according to the minimum situation, China can sell [-] cars every year.That means they use five tons of gasoline, which is still the minimum.

The fuel consumption per kilometer of other passenger cars and trucks is much higher than that of a car, and the mileage of a year is also much higher than that of a car.The annual fuel consumption of passenger cars and trucks should be ten or dozens of times that of cars.In this way, the demand for gasoline among the people in the future will be very large.With the increase in the number of cars, the estimated annual demand is several million tons.

But how much oil is produced in China now.

Seeing that the two people had fully listened to it, Duan Xun continued: "Our country is a big country, but it is still a poor country and an agricultural country. At this stage, our country is still a country that exports resources in exchange for foreign exchange, and then uses foreign exchange to buy foreign machinery, equipment and technology. That is It is said that we do not have the capital to import resources from other countries. Not to mention that once all the oil used by our people is imported oil, the market price will be extremely high. Too high oil prices will increase logistics costs and greatly inhibit freight , The development of passenger transportation. The suppression of freight and passenger transportation will suppress the market demand for trucks and passenger cars. Everyone knows that the automobile industry is a large industry covering many fields, which will drive the simultaneous development of the steel industry, rubber industry, and machinery industry Therefore, the cabinet has high hopes for the automobile industry. However, the rise in oil prices will definitely inhibit the development of the automobile industry and affect the development of other industries. This is a chain after another. The backwardness of the oil industry will seriously affect our industry. development of."

Liang Huankui didn't speak.

Because Liang Huankui has spent all his time here since the formulation of the five-year industrial plan.For Liang Huankui, the most important industrial plans in the past few years are the four major industries of coal, steel, chemicals, and electric power.

Of course there are plans for other industries as well.

It's just that these four industries are the most important and the core of China's industry.Therefore, most of Liang Huankui's work is placed here.For these industries, there is little demand for oil at this stage, or it has nothing to do with the oil industry.

Although Duan Xun asked Liang Huankui to pay attention to oil, he didn't take it too seriously.Because for him, the most important thing at this stage is to develop the coal industry, iron and steel industry, chemical industry and electric power industry.These are the most important.

Instead, Li Jishen said, "Prime Minister, when I was in the military department, the logistics department always complained. They thought that the gasoline allocated to the logistics department every year was not enough for the logistics department."

At present, the Army Logistics Department is the unit with the most trucks in the country.

After the end of World War I, China, as the victorious country, took back many trucks from Europe.These trucks were mainly produced by Germany during World War I, and they were seized by Britain and France and distributed to some victorious countries.Because of many things, the British and French powers look down on them, but China likes them very much.

At that time, there were thousands of trucks pulled back from Europe.

Later, many trucks were purchased from abroad and equipped with the army logistics department.At present, the Army Logistics Department has about 10,000 trucks, and normally requires [-]+ tons of oil per year.

But where does China have so much oil.

The oil allocated to the logistics department of the army every year is far from enough for the logistics department to use.Not even a fraction of what the logistics department needs.

"What about the Construction Corps?"

"The situation over there is the same. Although there are not many trucks allocated by the construction corps, the oil currently distributed is far from enough. Therefore, whether it is the logistics department or the construction corps, unless it is some urgent goods, rush Otherwise, trucks would not be used to transport goods. The most common way of transporting goods is still mules and horses.”

Li Jishen spoke.

The little gasoline allocated to the Army Logistics Department and the Construction Corps every year is simply not enough.It's just that it was not easy to complain to the above.Because the army generals, the senior officers on the Construction Corps side own some cars themselves and use the allotted gasoline.According to the rules, they are not eligible to use the gasoline allocated to other departments.

However, there are policies and countermeasures.

"How much is missing?"

"Prime Minister, if the logistics department releases the use of trucks, even one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the allocated gasoline will not be enough."

"Look, the oil problem is bigger than you think."

Duan Xun nodded.

The current domestic oil production cannot meet the needs of the government and the military.The cars owned by the army dare not let them go. If the civilians use cars extensively in the future, the shortage of oil will become more and more serious.

"The oil issue is very important. I thought about it carefully and approached it in three ways."

Duan Xun looked at several people and said: "First of all, increase investment in Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield, and increase the production of the two oilfields. The current production is too low. If the annual production of the two oilfields can reach 1930 There are millions of tons, so the needs of government agencies and the military can at least be met. And using the two oil fields, we can train a large number of our own oil technicians and train talents for the development of more oil fields in the future."

The development of Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield is still very poor.

Although Duan Xun is not very clear about PetroChina, he also knows that Yumen Oilfield has always been the center of PetroChina in the early days.It should be said that before the discovery of Daqing Oilfield, Yumen Oilfield was the cradle of China's oil industry, and many oilfields later were provided with technical force by Yumen Oilfield.The annual output of crude oil in Yumen Oilfield exceeds one million tons.
