With the introduction of the Animal Husbandry Protection Law, the four northern provinces are strictly prohibited from converting livestock to farming. Most of the cultivated land that has been reclaimed has been restored to artificial pasture. A small amount of reserved cultivated land can only be planted with food crops related to animal husbandry.

Including sericulture, which is also a part of animal husbandry and is also within the scope of the Animal Husbandry Protection Law. However, in order to ensure the food production in Jiangnan at the same time, mulberry tree varieties are also being improved to find use in mountainous and hilly areas.

The cultivation of mulberry trees is the main focus, which is the difference between the so-called forest mulberry trees and lake mulberry trees. The raw silk industry continues to advance to Zhejiang.

In this regard, the central cabinet government also promoted the passage of the Forestry Protection Law by Congress to strengthen the development of forestry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou and the three eastern provinces, focusing on the development of fruit trees, timber, tea trees and medicinal materials.

All of this ultimately serves industry and is actually a new enclosure movement.

The impact of industry on agriculture is huge. For example, during the rapid development of China's textile industry, the demand for wool, cashmere, cotton, raw silk, and flax has increased sharply. In the three provinces of North China, Shandong, Henan, Northern Jiangsu, and Liaodong Bay,

In the region, the Ministry of Agriculture has been actively promoting new cotton varieties, promoting new technologies and chemical fertilizers, improving water conservancy conditions, and continuously increasing the total cotton supply.

The oil industry has a demand for soybeans and rapeseed, the sugar industry has a demand for sugar beets and sugar cane, the wine industry has a demand for sorghum and grapes, the food industry has a demand for flour, and the feed industry has a demand for corn and soybean meal. If you want to avoid cash crops,

To weaken grain output during the development process and prevent the increase in grain prices, we can only continue to promote the development of water conservancy, chemical fertilizers and new farming technologies while the grain cultivated land continues to decrease.

This is also the reason why the central government borrows large-scale debt to develop water conservancy. It must increase water conservancy, promote chemical fertilizers and new technologies, and promote the scope of horse farming, ox farming and mechanical farming. Only in this way can we effectively ensure the increase in grain yield per mu and further ensure the impact of industry on the economy.

Huge demand for crops.

With the large-scale construction of fertilizer factories in the three northeastern provinces, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places, ammonia chemical industry was introduced from Germany at all costs. China's total fertilizer output has reached 1.3 million tons.

No matter how the name changes, behind it is the phenomenon of enclosure movement, which is actually for industrial services.

Listening to Tan Jiwu talking about the gap in animal husbandry between China and the United States that he knows, Song Biao peeled peanuts slowly and listened silently, and Wang Yongjiang seemed very silent.

When Tan Jiwu was almost finished, Wang Yongjiang and Song Biao said: "Your Majesty, the empire has made great efforts in agricultural development in recent years, but compared with the United States, our gap is still very obvious. Policy Bureau some time ago

I came back from investigation and research in the United States and France. The current per capita grain in the United States is 1,232 kilograms, while ours only has 230 kilograms. After hearing this, I could only sigh. Especially the transportation of agricultural machinery in the United States.

Currently, the total amount is about 12 billion horsepower, with an average of 133 horsepower per person. This does not include the horsepower of livestock. Even if we add livestock, the average per capita horsepower is no more than 3, and the gap is even greater. So.

, Jin Dingxun from the Policy Bureau and I are causing trouble for me. As soon as these data came out, our Ministry of Agriculture has been working hard in the past few years. It means that nothing has been done. It is a thousand miles away and I don’t know how many years it will take to complete it.

"

Song Biao was not in a hurry and said: "Take your time, you are the Minister of Agriculture. You have important responsibilities. Before leaving Beijing, Premier Tang and I went to the cabinet. Now I am the most important cabinet minister, agriculture, finance

, industry, transportation, water conservancy. Your Ministry of Agriculture is well-deserved as the first cabinet department of the empire. The task is arduous, and all the first-class talents we can select have been sent to you. Your Ministry of Agriculture’s foreign ministers

The National Bureau of Experts has hired as many foreign consultants as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Land and Resources. In fact, if we look at the problem from another angle, it is precisely because we are far behind the United States and we are now looking at the United States to learn from them. We will do what they do.

We will promulgate whatever laws they have. As long as we continue to learn, our development will be faster and our room for progress will be greater."

Tan Jiwu said: "Now only the three northeastern provinces are qualified to compete with the United States in industry and agriculture. The conditions are good. According to the current development speed of the three northeastern provinces, it is expected that in ten years they will be able to reach the level of industry and agriculture in the United States. By then, our Chinese

But it’s the first step towards revival.”

Song Biao said: "That's true, but it won't work if the gap inside and outside the customs is too big. When we formulated the "Cultivated Land Protection Act", our goal was to control land annexation and ensure that every household has a part of the land, so each province has the right to enact

A cap on production increment tax, held by each household

If the land exceeds a certain number of acres, the production tax will be increased. Generally, the upper limit of the land in the customs is 60 acres. The minimum land in the three northeastern provinces is ten acres, which is 150 acres. By the way, each household in the three northeastern provinces holds ten acres of land.

It’s a normal thing. In previous years, you had 100 people in the three northeastern provinces.

Even the landowners are embarrassed to call themselves landlords. Our situation is special, with too many agricultural people and a low average arable land area, so we can only do this, try our best to make the land of each household more even, and gradually eliminate the big landlord class.

Let the capital accumulated in agriculture flow to industry

, to curb land annexation. Looking back now, the gap in agriculture and industry between the inside and outside the customs is rapidly widening. For the cabinet, this situation is not good. The three northeastern provinces must continue to accelerate development. The same

, Guan Nei must also seize the time to catch up."

Wang Yongjiang and Tan Jiwu heard this as nothing. It sounded easy, but it was just a touch of the upper and lower lips. In practice, it was too difficult to do.

In order to curb land annexation and the relative equalization of land, the Ministry of Agriculture has borrowed money to establish the Agricultural Bank of China, set up rural credit offices across the country, issue loans to agricultural households, and help farmers gradually repurchase land from the large landlord class.

In general, if China wants to develop its economy and expand its industry, agriculture must develop first. However, the development of China's agriculture is the most difficult and has a huge space. It is both difficult and promising.

Song Biao was not the Prime Minister, so he did not think much about this aspect. At this time, he only had a casual conversation with Wang Yongjiang and Tan Jiwu. Qi Hao, the growth director of Chahar Province, was listening on the sidelines and did not say much.

.

During the period of the Northeast New Deal, the development of the Northeast was based on learning from the United States and Germany. After the emperor took over the world from the Northeast, the Imperial New Deal or the Shenwu New Deal promoted now are actually the continuation of the Northeast New Deal.

Regarding the Shenwu New Deal, Song Biao made a simple definition of the strategic direction, which is to "learn from the United States in a flexible and changeable way". It is impossible to completely learn from the United States. There are many similarities between China and the United States, and there are also many differences.

, so we must be flexible and continue to learn from countries such as Germany, France, Britain, and Japan.

In the past few years, many inspection groups have been sent to the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Japan and other countries. Basically, provincial governors have arranged an inspection trip to Europe and the United States. The central government and provincial governments have adopted a strong New Deal accountability system, and all goals are

Mainly learn from Europe and the United States, and use this to force China to move forward.

As the governor of Chahar Province, Qi Hao's work pressure is easier than in other provinces, because the agricultural and industrial development of Chahar Province revolve around animal husbandry, and animal husbandry is his strength. However,

His biggest pressure is to take on the future of the entire four northern provinces, as well as the issues of appeasing the Mongolian people and cleverly increasing the number of Han people.
