In addition to these, there is also the Infrastructure Corps under the Construction Corps.

The main thing they do is participate in the construction.With the great development of Harbin this year, urban construction projects are basically undertaken by the Construction Corps.This is also an income.

Construction Corps is an army mode.

Therefore, the discipline is good, and the income this year is also good.However, the salaries paid to the officers and soldiers of the Construction Corps were not high, so the profit margin was high.Therefore, the Construction Corps has a lot of surplus funds this year.According to the data they reported, the remaining funds of the Construction Corps this year are more than [-] million yuan.

Although it cannot be said to be high, it is not low either.

Even if you repay some interest on previous loans, you can still have a lot of surplus income.The Construction Corps is a government agency and a department directly under the cabinet.

Therefore, a certain percentage of their income must be handed over.But now that the Northeast Construction Corps has applied for and refused to hand over the money, they must have their own plans.

"They want to be able to buy a bunch of tractors."

"Oh?"

Duan Xun was immediately very interested.

So I was very happy to ask: "What do they think?"

"Before I came here, I met and talked with teachers from Northeast Agricultural University. Many professors who came back from studying in the United States said that many farms in the United States have already used agricultural machinery on a large scale, and tractors are the most commonly used. Some A farmer alone owns hundreds of thousands of mu or even millions of mu of arable land, and the number of farmers employed is not very large. Compared with the number of farmers on the same arable land in China, the difference is more than ten times. Because they rely on agricultural Machinery can greatly reduce labor. Therefore, those professors believe that the current Northeast Construction Corps is suitable for the farm model in the United States. In other places, a strong labor force can manage about ten acres of land, and no more than twenty Mu. However, if agricultural machinery is used on a large scale, a single farmer will be able to take care of more than 15 mu of arable land. As long as the Heilongjiang Construction Corps under the Northeast Construction Corps has about [-] people, there will be no problem in taking care of tens of millions of mu of arable land. .If the number of people exceeds one million, it is possible to take care of hundreds of millions of acres of arable land.”

Li Jishen explained to Duan Xun his investigation in the Northeast this time.

Continued: "For the land in Heilongjiang, the teachers and students of the Agricultural University have done some exploration. Because the time is too short, so there is no complete data. But after their preliminary exploration, they think that the land in Heilongjiang is fertile, not as good as Fengtian and Jilin The land there is poor, even better than theirs. If it is fully developed, the amount of cultivated land can easily increase by more than 600 million mu. At present, the population in Heilongjiang is sparsely populated, with only about [-] million people in total. There is a lot of uncultivated cultivated land left for The Construction Corps opened up wasteland. The professors of those agricultural universities said that the Heilongjiang Construction Corps can definitely become a model for China's agricultural mechanization."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

The population of Heilongjiang is indeed small.In the past few years, although the Northeast has been released, the people in the pass have been encouraged to enter the Northeast, and the population of the Northeast has increased sharply.In just a few years, the population of Northeast China has increased by more than 1500 million people.But those people basically went to Fengtian and Jilin, and only a small number of people came to Heilongjiang.Within a few years, only 200 million people came to Heilongjiang.

Therefore, there is a lot of undeveloped arable land in Heilongjiang, and large tracts of arable land are waiting for the Construction Corps to open up wasteland.Therefore, Heilongjiang is indeed the most suitable place for the development of agricultural mechanization.

So I thought for a while and said, "How many tractors do they want to buy?"

"The first batch of [-] will be purchased."

"One hundred? Can they get enough diesel? Now that the domestic oil price is so high, can they really afford it?"

Duan Xun frowned.

The domestic oil supply is insufficient, so each sector has quotas.The Construction Corps has a limited quota of [-] tractors, does the Construction Corps have the money to use it?

"Prime Minister, the tractors they are going to buy don't use diesel."

"No diesel?"

"Yes."

Li Ji said with a deep smile, "Prime Minister, not only do the tractors purchased by the Construction Corps not use diesel, but the large trucks and buses they own also do not use gasoline."

"Oh?"

Duan Xun was taken aback.

Tractors, trucks, buses, including cars, all eat oil.Now it is said that the trucks, buses, and tractors used by the Construction Corps do not use oil, which makes Duan Xun a little unbelievable.

"Prime Minister, the price of domestic oil is too expensive. If trucks and buses use oil, they simply cannot afford it, and the cost is too high. So now the automobile factories in Wuhan have remodeled these trucks, buses, and tractors. They produce The cars in China have already changed from oil to coal, and those cars are all coal and equipped with steam engines. Although the speed and power are not as good as those using diesel and gasoline, the cost has dropped a lot. It is said that after oil is changed from coal to coal, the At one-sixth the cost of using oil."

"I see."

really.

People are really a smart group, especially the Chinese.Now because of the shortage of domestic oil supply, a lot of oil is imported, resulting in high domestic oil prices.

Those who drive cars have money, so they are not afraid of expensive gasoline.But those who want to do business, that is, those who do freight and passenger business, feel that it is not cost-effective.

Oil is too expensive.

According to the current domestic oil price, their trucks and buses lose money in business.

So these people immediately thought of another way.At present, China's oil supply is insufficient, but China has a lot of coal, and the most important thing is coal.There are more than a dozen large national coal bases built by the Ministry of Industry alone, coal bases built by provincial governments, and some small coal mines with private capital are everywhere.So they discussed with the factory to modify those buses and trucks.It used to use diesel and gasoline engines, but after being transformed by them, it became a steam car using coal.

"Okay. I agree to the request of the Northeast Construction Corps. Let them explore the possibility of agricultural mechanization and train some tractor drivers. Maybe the Construction Corps in other places will also need to buy tractors in the future."

"Yes."

"Also, tell Zesheng (Deng Yanda). I have high expectations for the Northeast Construction Corps. I not only hope that the Northeast Construction Corps will become our country's food base, but I also expect them to cultivate our agriculture with the fertile land of Heilongjiang on their backs. Technical and agricultural talents. Including the scientific research team for cultivating excellent seeds, cultivating chemical talents in chemical fertilizers and pesticides, laying the foundation for the further development of my country's agriculture."

"Yes."

"As for the recruiting of the Construction Corps, you personally come forward to coordinate all aspects, including the military department. Two months, I will give you two months to recruit all the recruits that the Construction Corps needs. Including those assigned to Mongolia and Shaanxi The recruits must be recruited. There are quite a few officers and soldiers who will be discharged this year, and before other departments finish robbing them, your Construction Corps can do it.”

In 1927, the Japanese economy in 1927 in history almost collapsed.

The domestic financial crisis in Japan caused a large number of Japanese banks to fail, and because of the setback in exports, a trade crisis occurred.Therefore, in 1927 in history, the Japanese economy was in a downturn, the urban unemployment rate remained high, protests were frequent, and the rural economy was almost completely bankrupt.Before the Great Depression occurred in the United States, the Japanese economy had already fallen to the bottom.

But 1927 in this era was different.

China is a big country, a real big country.When China started to develop and China's market was reopened to Japan, the benefits to Japanese industry were astonishing.

A big country is a big country, and it is simply not comparable to some small countries.

No matter how poor China is, no matter how agricultural it is, the number of people and the size of the country are still there.Therefore, compared with the same agricultural countries, China's agricultural products are rich in variety and quantity.Not to mention that China currently controls the world market for such things as tung oil and bristles. In the Asian sugar product market, Chinese sugar factories produce the most sugar.And the world soybean market is also in the hands of China.

In 1926, China exported 4700 million but (a load of 120 catties) of soybean products alone, which was nearly 2 million yuan based on the price.That is to say, in 1926, China's income from exporting soybean products alone reached nearly 2 million yuan.This is not comparable to those small countries.China accounts for 90% of the world soybean product export market.Among the soybeans exported by China, Northeast soybeans account for 90%.That is to say, Northeast soybeans control the world soybean market.

In recent years, the government has encouraged farmers in the pass to enter the Northeast to open up wasteland, which has caused the population of the Northeast to increase rapidly.Five years ago, the population of the Northeast was just over 2000 million, but now the population of the Northeast is approaching 4000 million.Except for a small number of people who entered the Northeast as workers, most of them opened up wasteland in the Northeast.The increase in the area of ​​cultivated land opened up in the Northeast has also led to a sharp rise in soybean production in the Northeast in recent years.And it happened to coincide with the wave of world economic recovery after the end of the European War, which greatly increased soybean exports.

Under such circumstances, China's current trade volume can easily exceed 30 billion, and it will soon reach 40 billion.Calculated in US dollars, it is more than one billion US dollars.

The import and export volume ranks first in the world.Even some industrialized countries in Europe can't match China's current import and export volume.Moreover, China's annual import volume is 20 billion, which has become a big market that is difficult for all countries in the world to ignore.

Take a simple example.

Since the establishment of the "Central Broadcasting Channel" by the Chinese government in 1924, the demand for radios in major cities in China has increased significantly. In 1925, the sales volume of radios in China was only about 2000.But in 1926, China imported more than [-] radios alone, costing more than one million US dollars.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce, the demand for radios in China will continue to grow, and will soon exceed 20 units, 1 units, and the radio market will exceed [-] million yuan within five years.Because although China is an agricultural country with the largest number of farmers, the urban population is also growing rapidly.The increase in urban population has led to the rapid expansion of the Chinese market.

It is precisely because China is a big country with a huge market.Therefore, after China and Japan signed the "trade agreement", a large number of orders from China immediately fell to Japan.In a total of half a year until March 1927, the order volume from China exceeded 3 million.

This is not a small amount.

If an order of [-] million is dropped, the effect will be several times that of his.These orders appeared, and within a short period of time, Japanese factories began to recover, and Japanese industry began to recover.In order to support the resumption of work of Japanese factories, the Bank of Japan has given them financial support.The recovery of Japanese industry has also brought huge benefits to China.Because the recovery of Japanese industry needs raw materials.Now the raw materials imported by Japan are all imported from China, which of course also drives the economy of China.
