Chapter 252 Peasant Delegation (Part 2)

At the edge of the plowed fields, everyone, including Tian Baocheng, looked at the scene in front of them in surprise:

A man who looked like a worker was sitting on a strange instrument, like the operator of a magic weapon.

This equipment is about as tall as an adult, with four breasts at the bottom, and the breast at the back is much larger than the one in front.

There are many round blades at the front and rear ends.

At this moment, the worker was driving this "magic weapon" and moving quickly in the field.

Every time the magic weapon beeps across the ground, the dry and hard soil in the field will be cracked, revealing the dark core of the soil underneath.

Everyone present can be elected as representatives of nearly ten thousand farmers. Naturally, they are all good farmers and have considerable experience in farming.

Although they couldn't understand what the device was, they could tell what the person was doing from the results.

The answer is simple, just two words:

Loose soil.

From a biological point of view, soil tends to clump over time, which reduces the air permeability of crop roots, as if the roots are sealed.

If the land is plowed at this time, the gaps between soil particles can be enlarged, allowing air to easily enter.

This increases root cell respiration, thereby enhancing transpiration.

From the perspective of farming experience, the most intuitive thing about loosening soil is to facilitate the growth of crops.

After all, the narrower the item, the harder it is to insert it.

Therefore, soil loosening has always been an extremely important link in farming operations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood of farming.

In the Great Mo Realm.

When most practitioners cultivate small spiritual fields, they often use some talismans to assist, or arrange for servants to do the cultivation, but they do not do it themselves.

For example, some relatively large families may issue clan tasks and let those collateral clan members with five spiritual roots be responsible for loosening the soil.

As for ordinary people's methods, they are very simple.

Those with better conditions can use oxen to loosen the soil, while those with poorer conditions can only go to the fields and work manually throughout the process.

Sometimes after working hard for a long time, less than half an acre of land was loosened.

I don’t know how many people suffer from frozen shoulder and lumbar spine diseases due to such hard work.

And at this moment.

The equipment that Tian Baocheng and others saw was at least thirty to fifty times more efficient than ordinary human pine plowing!

In just the blink of an eye.

A strip of land more than 20 meters long and three to four meters wide was completely plowed by this machine.

Although Tian Baocheng had seen a rotary tiller before, he was still a little surprised when he saw this scene again.

After all, the rotary tiller this time was more advanced than the one he saw before, and the efficiency was at least half higher. After all, what he saw back then was an experimental machine for debugging, which was the most common type.

Next to Tian Baocheng, there was still the thin man who asked about the location of the fields. At this time, he was looking at the fields without focus and murmured:

"Mom, with such a fast speed, how much land can be plowed every day?"

Then the thin man thought of something, turned his head and asked Shi Yin:

"Girl, how much field can this magic weapon loosen at one time? Does it consume spiritual stones?"

The thin man did not ask silly questions like whether this machine was for farmers. Although the representatives present had limited knowledge, they were not lacking in insight.

This kind of equipment can appear in the demonstration area, which is obviously prepared for them.

Therefore, the most critical issue is not the ownership issue, but the cost of this device.

If it requires more spirit stones, then it can only make other plans.

But if its price is not high, then one or more families can grit their teeth and scrape together some money to buy one, and the efficiency of farming can be increased dozens of times.

When efficiency increases, it means more money can be made.

Nowadays, the whole move of gathering refugees in Chixian City is witnessed by everyone, and many of them are even witnesses. Therefore, these farmer representatives know very well how big the demand for food is in Chixian City.

Even if there is a Happy Supermarket there, there is still a broad market for rice grains, and you can sell whatever grain you produce.

So if you spend some money within an affordable range, it is not unacceptable.

Farmers may not understand what upfront sunk costs are, but this simple truth is not difficult to understand.

Upon hearing the thin man's question, Shi Yin glanced at him lightly and replied:

"Fellow, first of all, this machine is not a magic weapon. It is called a rotary cultivator. It does not cost spiritual stones and only consumes fuel.

A rotary tiller can loosen about 30-50 acres of land every day.

For the right to use the rotary tiller, we currently offer two options.

One is to buy directly, the price is about 15,000 Chinese coins, and you pay the money and deliver the goods.

There is also a rental model, which starts from twelve hours, and the price is about 20 Chinese dollars every twelve hours. The daily gas cost is almost the same as the rental price. "

The price of renting a local rotary cultivator for one day is about 120 yuan, and you have to pay for the gas.

The price level in Chi County is currently under the control of the rabbits and has stabilized at about one-eighth of the local level.

After converting the purchasing power and adding some agricultural subsidies, the price of a rotary tiller is 20 yuan a day, which is neither high nor low to be honest.

For example, people like Tian Baocheng, who entered the factory relatively early, now have seven to eight hundred yuan in cash in Chinese coins.

As for the refugees who had participated in moving bricks at the base earlier than him, the most diligent ones had more than 2,000 yuan in cash.

That’s right, they are all Chinese coins.

As Xingfu Supermarket can stably provide agricultural and sideline products and daily necessities, the current circulation volume of Huaxia coins in Chi County has exceeded that of copper coins.

In some unofficial private occasions - such as custom-made clothes or transactions at Chixian's own vegetable market, many merchants will also pay or receive Huaxia coins.

Another example is that during this period, the living conditions in the city gradually stabilized, and the number of newlyweds also increased suddenly. Many couples also used Huaxia coins as gifts when they got married.

Of course.

The Rabbits promote Huaxia Coin just to have a trade equivalent for easy management, and they really have no idea at all about financial monopoly - not that the Rabbits are very upright, but because the plate in Chi County is too small.

The annual GDP of the local area has reached the 100-digit line of 101 trillion Chinese dollars. The people's livelihood field is planned to be worth several trillions or even more than ten trillions. Putting aside the position of the sweater war, it is only 100,000 yuan. A billion-level battlefield.

And how many people are there in Chi County now?

Calculated at eight times the price, it would be equivalent to a small town with a population of 8,000.

Are you talking about creating an economic monopoly on this kind of plate?

The layout of Ziqiong City is pretty much the same.

His eyes returned to the fields.

After hearing the two models and prices quoted by Shi Yin, there was a burst of whispers in the delegation.

Previously, the amount of land promised to each refugee by the Rabbits was four acres per person, and a family of three could have twelve acres of land. However, since many families have long been fragmented, the actual average number of acres per household should be around ten acres. .

In the ancient context, a landowner with fifty acres of land could be called a landlord, so the average value of ten acres of land per household is indeed quite attractive.

This is also the reason why nearly 10,000 refugees have signed up. Not everyone, like Tian Baocheng, has had the opportunity to experience the power of a rotary tiller in advance.

At this moment.

After hearing that a rotary tiller can cultivate thirty to fifty acres of land, some farmer representatives immediately began to consider renting a rotary tiller with others.

After all, Damojie is different from the mainland. A Damojie has 168 hours either day or night. There is no such thing as wasting time at night when sharing a house.

Seeing that many people in the delegation were already feeling agitated, Shi Yin led everyone to another field.

At this time, the ground in this farmland had already been dug up, and another steel giant was beeping on top.

I saw that every time the giant thing moved, some seeds would fall evenly and accurately into the field from its tail.

Everyone's breath froze again when they saw this.

Although the manual sowing process is much simpler than manual soil loosening, it is still a laborious and laborious task.

Now that this machine can replace human labor in sowing, what it saves is more than just a matter of time?

Looking at the stunned natives of the Great Mo Realm again, a smile flashed in Shi Yin's eyes and he continued to introduce:

"The machine you are seeing is called a coverage precision seeder. Like a rotary tiller, it does not cost spiritual stones. It is also a type of mechanical tool that belongs to the Modern Farming Equipment Group.

Its function is simple, it is to sow seeds.

In addition to seeders and rotary tillers, we also have harvesters, threshers and a series of farming machinery, which are collectively called farming modules.

With the help of these farming modules, even if you are not very skilled, you can easily farm seven or eight acres of land in one day.

Once you get the hang of it, it will be possible to farm thirty to fifty acres a day. "

Hearing this, a strong woman in the delegation raised her hand and asked:

"Sister, how much food can our land produce?"

Shi Yin thought for a while and replied:

"Each acre can produce about 400 kilograms."

The strong woman was immediately shocked:

"Four hundred kilograms, how is this possible? One acre of spiritual land can only produce two to three hundred kilograms of rice."

Shi Yin smiled mysteriously when he heard this and took out a small bag from his side:

"Sister, have you ever heard of Jin Kela?"

Note:

I asked the question about road construction the day before yesterday. Many big guys talked about the process, but they didn’t say how long it took.

We will resume normal updates tomorrow. I will re-imagine the outline today and it will be almost complete. I didn’t lose much unexpectedly, thank you all!
