After collecting everyone's opinions, Duan Xun finally concluded: "Since everyone agrees, then we can negotiate according to this point. General Ge Jingen has been in charge of the liaison between our country and the North Korean government. He is in charge."

The biggest thing in 1926 was the change in relations between China and Japan.

How powerful is the China-Japan trade agreement?

Great.

On August 1926, 8, China and Japan signed the "Sino-Japanese Tianjin Trade Agreement", many of which are actually from 29.Because many orders from China have already been given to Germany, because it is basically a year after the order is placed, and the arrival of the final machinery and equipment.So most of the orders have already been placed in China.

It takes time for these orders to be transferred to Japan.

But that's just a government order.They are the happiest among the light industrial factories among the people.Although the quality of European and American machinery and equipment is good, the price is too expensive and the speed is too slow.What the owners of these light industrial factories want is to control costs and seize time.But European and American machinery and equipment do not account for both.

The price is very expensive, and it takes a year from placing an order to arriving in China.Sometimes within a year, the market wind direction has changed.

But no way.

Who made the relationship between China and Japan bad in the past few years, and the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people is also very serious.Just look at the situation of Japanese goods.Originally, Japanese products were the most common and the best-selling foreign products in the Chinese market.But since China and Japan fell out, Japanese products have almost been wiped out in China.Not only is the government boycotting Japanese goods intentionally or unintentionally, but the people are almost smashing and looting Japanese goods. Who dares to import Japanese goods at this time.

The factories of Japanese businessmen in China have also taken measures to sell at a low price.

Under such an environment, those businessmen who dare to take big risks to buy Japanese things.Once exposed, it is easy to be labeled as "pro-Japanese" and even boycotted by the people.Well now, the relationship between China and Japan has advanced by leaps and bounds, and even foreign newspapers have exclaimed that the "Sino-Japanese alliance" has reached the point.These businessmen immediately started to contact Japan, hoping to buy those cheap machines and equipment from Japan.

The quality may not be as good as European and American goods, but the price is half of them.Not to mention that after China places an order, Japan can deliver it to you in two or three months.

Low price and fast speed are simply the favorite of those businessmen.

Therefore, just after the trade agreement was signed, many Japanese factories were able to receive orders from Chinese private factories starting in September, which made Japanese factories very excited.Because many of their factories have not received orders for a long time.Many small and medium-sized factories in Japan went bankrupt because they did not receive orders.Those factories that are still alive are basically factories under the Japanese consortium.

Those factories in Japan immediately started to get busy.

In a word, China is really a big market.Not to mention anything else, just look at the booming paper mills, printing industry, and publishing industry in China over the years.

Why is it developing so well?

It is because China has attached great importance to education in recent years that the number of students going to school suddenly began to expand rapidly, increasing exponentially.The increase in the number of students has led to a sharp increase in the school's demand for teaching materials.As a result, the paper mills, the printing industry, and the publishing industry developed at an astonishing rate.

And these industries all need machines.

Although China also produces these machines, it is far from meeting domestic needs.So they hit Japan with a large order. At the end of 1926, Japanese factories were much busier than the previous two years.

The easing of Sino-Japanese relations has also made the Korean peninsula busy.

Negotiations between the Chinese and North Korean governments are proceeding in an orderly manner, with economic and military negotiations running in parallel.Soon China and North Korea signed a lot of cooperation agreements.

Inclusive of all aspects.

North Korea began to slowly make concessions in economic cooperation negotiations for the sake of fiscal revenue.In the end, several of the most famous mines in North Korea have signed contracts with China for 30 to 50 years.The North Korean government occupies 30% of the mine's income, and it has provided some tax incentives in the first few years before the mine was opened.

As for military cooperation, both sides have made concessions.

China will send an army unit to North Korea, which includes three army divisions, an artillery division, two anti-aircraft artillery regiments, and a brigade of aviation.The military expenses of this force will be borne by China itself.As for military schools and military factories, China is willing to help build them.But this part of the funds needs financial support from the North Korean government.The salaries of military instructors and military factory technicians sent by China to North Korea will be borne by the North Korean government.

Ge Jingen was appointed as the deputy chief of staff of the Northeast Military Region, concurrently serving as China's military representative in North Korea, responsible for all military cooperation projects between China and North Korea.Dong Songyan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese troops stationed in North Korea, and unified command of all Chinese troops in North Korea.

are busy.

When Japanese factories start, they need raw materials.Although there may not be too many in a while, such a momentum has already appeared.In addition to supporting the North Korean government's economy and military, various departments in China are busy revising plans for next year, which is really a mess.

"How about it?"

All departments are busy, and so is the Construction Corps.At this time, Li Jishen, the commander-in-chief of the Construction Corps, came to Harbin by train, and finally came to the headquarters of the Northeast Construction Corps.

"Commander-in-Chief, good news, great joy."

Deng Yanda, commander of the Northeast Construction Corps, came to the headquarters with a face of joy, and smiled at Li Jishen.The whole person was relieved, and his steps were very light.

"Have your statistics come out?"

"Yes."

Deng Yanda nodded and said, "Commander-in-chief, the production of the Construction Corps this year is 400 million catties of rice, 600 million catties of sorghum, 900 million catties of corn, 200 million catties of sweet potatoes, and 300 million catties of soybeans. .Although the yield per mu is not as good as that in the south, the yield far exceeds our expectation. The land in Heilongjiang is far more fertile than our previous judgment.”

Li Jishen was overjoyed immediately after hearing about the output.

I thought that this year was the first year, and it would be pretty good to have about [-] million catties of grain.Because we have no experience in growing food in such a northern area, and on such a large area.Therefore, the requirement for the Northeast Construction Corps is that they can support themselves this year.

Unexpectedly, the output far exceeded the original estimate.

"Is the data accurate?"

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry, there will be no problem. This is calculated by people from our Northeast Construction Corps Command, as well as teachers and students from the Agricultural University. There must be some small errors, but the errors are statistically Some of the problems are generally not bad. This is the yield per mu we count according to the planting area."

Deng Yanda handed over the statistics just now to Li Jishen.

Li Ji looked at it for a while and said, "The yield per mu of rice is good, the yield per mu of sorghum and sweet potato is very high, and corn is also good."

After all, Li Jishen is the commander-in-chief of the Construction Corps.

This year can be regarded as a lot of agricultural knowledge.I also read a lot about China's grain yield data per mu.So when I saw the data submitted by Deng Yanda, I immediately started to compare it with Liaoning and Jilin.It's really good to issue yield per mu.

"Yes."

"But how do you determine the sowing area?"

After all, it is the northeast region, and it is still an alpine region.In terms of output, it is definitely not as good as the South, the land of fish and rice, but such an output has already satisfied Li Jishen.

"It's based on eating habits. In Northeast China, rice and sorghum are the staple food, and the sown area has always been ranked first. The taste of sorghum is definitely not as good as rice, but the yield of sorghum per mu is very high, far exceeding that of rice." Other grain varieties. So in Northeast China, sorghum has a lot of planting area. As for corn and sweet potatoes, these are not the staple food of the Chinese, and the planting area in China is very low. However, our agricultural experts said that their adaptability to the soil Very good, and the yield per mu is also very high. So we planted a lot of corn and sweet potatoes in the dry fields we opened up. Judging from this year's production, the yield per mu of corn and sweet potatoes is indeed very good. If we can vigorously promote corn and sweet potatoes The cultivation of them, and using them as a supplement to the staple food will have a huge role in guaranteeing China's food security."

Deng Yandawo has been farming in Heilongjiang for a year, and he has begun to know how to farm.

Corn and Sweet Potatoes.

It has also been in China for a long time, entering China as early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.Many people say that the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong was the prosperity of corn and sweet potatoes.Because of the entry of these two high-yielding crops, China was able to develop a large population and have a so-called prosperous age.

But in fact, China is not active in the cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes.

At present, the combined area of ​​corn and sweet potatoes in the whole country is less than 10%.Maybe even only about 5% of the planted area.Because until now, these two crops have not been fully accepted by the Chinese, and they are not the staple food of the Chinese.

The same is true in the Northeast.

But the Northeast Construction Corps opened up wasteland, but they planted many crops.Just for experimentation.The Construction Corps consists of Agricultural University and Chemical Engineering University, and their task is to be responsible for agricultural technology.

Moreover, the yield per mu of corn and sweet potatoes is indeed very high, and the yield is very high.

"The yield per mu of soybeans is a bit low?"
