Chapter 363

Several people went into the private room and took their seats. Chen Desheng went to ask the waiter to serve the dishes.

Chen Defu opened his mouth and said, "boss Zhang, this time our village has come up with a general result. On the whole, everyone is very willing to rent the land to boss Zhang."

"However, farmers rely on the three-thirds of an acre of land for a living, so not all the paddy fields are rented to boss Zhang, only part of them."

After hearing this, Zhang Qianxiu also understood: "this is OK. How much land can you rent for me?"

Chen Defu said: "five thousand mu. I visited several villages next door, and the total is more than ten thousand mu."

"I know that boss Zhang wants to plant by machinery. We will exchange the fields I left behind and put them outside. You can integrate all the places you rent into one piece."

"The general situation is that several of our villages are distributed around your contracted land, and all the fields we planted are outside, and all the positions in the middle are contracted to you."

After hearing this, Zhang Qianxiu also felt that it was OK. The only problem was that if the land was contracted by himself, would some people deliberately destroy and steal it.

This is not aimed at people in a certain place. In this era, there is a shortage of goods and materials, and there is theft all over the country. People steal fruits and vegetables from the fields.

At that time, Zhang Qianxiu will rent a large area of land, and the people in the village will be close to each other. It's still very easy to go to the village to have a harvest at night.

However, even if this problem exists, Zhang Qianxiu will rent it. This kind of problem is the same everywhere. If it really happens, just find a way to solve it. He asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want about the rent problem?"

Chen Defu said: "one mu of land, 200 Jin of rice a year, or 40 yuan, tax, boss Zhang to solve."

Later, in the countryside, if someone's family went out to work, they would plant the fields for others free. Of course, there are preconditions. You can only plant things, not dig them casually. Moreover, if the owner wants to plant them by himself next year, he will have to return them. Therefore, this kind of land can't grow crops for several years, and can't be used as fish ponds. Basically, it can only grow a variety of rice, A lot of people don't want to plant it yet.

If you want to rent a lot of land for large-scale cultivation, you still need to rent it. The cheap land is 231 mu, and the extra land is more than 71000 mu. The land around some cities is thousands of years larger, and some vegetable farmers rent several Mu to grow vegetables for sale. Therefore, it depends on what kind of land it is and where it is.

But now, land is what farmers can survive. Even if we need agricultural tax now, we can't plant it for nothing.

Zhang Qianxiu calculated in his mind.

If the yield per mu is 1000 Jin, 200 Jin of agricultural tax and other miscellaneous taxes will be removed, and the rent for farmers will be 200 Jin. Seeds, fertilizer, insecticidal and so on will cost about 80 to 100 yuan per mu. This is only a rough figure, and the details are not clear. After all, Zhang Qianxiu does not know the specific cost of farming.

In this way, one hundred yuan is equivalent to about 500 Jin, plus 200 Jin of tax revenue and 200 Jin of farmers' rent, you can still earn 100 Jin of rice.

This does not include the input of machinery. Even if the yield is 1000 Jin per mu, it may be barely enough to keep the cost. Even if 10000 mu is planted well, it is estimated that it can earn about 200 tons of rice.

Four hundred a ton, you can make eighty thousand.

After that, it seems that it is almost the same. Later, the agricultural tax was exempted and some subsidies were given. If 10000 mu were planted on a large scale, it would be very good.

However, this is Zhang Qianxiu's own imagination. It's better for yuan pengchi to calculate this account.

Zhang Qianxiu turned his head and asked yuan pengchi, "Professor Yuan, if mechanized large-scale planting, what is the yield situation?"

Yuan pengchi said: "it's not easy to say. It depends on the specific situation, including how they get the water from the local land, whether they charge or not, how flat the ground is, and whether they can integrate the land."

"There is no problem in integrating the land, but we have to measure it. In the future, if boss Zhang doesn't use it, we have to restore it," Chen explained

In fact, the integration is very simple, that is, to connect the fields into a piece, and dig out all the fields with ridges around them. A piece of land with an area of 10 mu will be directly integrated into a piece of 100 mu, and the roads between the fields will be rebuilt.

The restoration of nature is that Zhang Qianxiu will not want it in the future. How big each piece of land was before, or how big it will be restored. This project seems simple, but it will cost some money to integrate and restore it.

Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment and said, "this is not a big problem. What about water?"

Chen Defu took out a piece of paper and some photos and said, "this is the general map we drew. It's not very standard. Boss Zhang and Professor Yuan, I'll tell you about our local situation."

"There are five villages around us. After the integration, the place you rent is about a D-shape. There are two villages in the vertical part, one in the upper part and one in the lower part. The most prominent part of the arc behind is our village. There are two villages in front of and behind us."

"The water we irrigate is from the same reservoir. It costs 20 cents per mu to irrigate once. It's bought from the reservoir. If the rainfall is sufficient, we can irrigate it twice a season. If it doesn't rain much in a year, we should irrigate it three to four times."

"But boss Zhang has such a large area, it is estimated that there are cheap ones."

Zhang Qianxiu shook his head: "it won't be cheap. If you only have this reservoir, you can say as much as you want. I have to go to them to buy water."

Zhang Qianxiu is a southerner. They use water directly from the river. There are more rivers in the South than in the north. If you go to any village, you will have a water source that will not be cut off all the year round.

China's water resources situation is basically more in the East and less in the west, more in the South and less in the north.

There may be many Northerners who don't feel the difficulty of using water and don't lack water at all in their daily life, especially later.

But in fact, the average water available in central provinces is less than half of that in southern provinces, which is below the international standard.

What's more, ordinary people in the North don't feel that they are short of water. They use underground water and build reservoirs. The government has made great efforts to solve the problem of water use. Ordinary people don't feel that they didn't do these things. Someone has solved them for you. If one day ordinary people don't have any daily water, someone will definitely have a bad luck, Even if they are desperate, they will find water for you from the bottom of the earth.

As long as the provinces in the north are concerned, the official documents often mention "serious water shortage". The government also needs to ensure daily water use, agricultural water use, industrial water use, and environmental and ecological protection. However, there are not many rivers in the north, and water shortage is a problem that most provinces have to discuss every year. In the end, the south to North Water Diversion Project has slightly solved some problems, However, the cost of the south to North Water Transfer Project is very high, especially in the east line. Because the north is high, the water flow for a certain distance requires electric pumps to pump water from the low to the high.

For example, in order to solve the problem of water use in Shangjing, groundwater was also used later. At the beginning, water could flow out about five meters, but later, water could only flow out 30 meters.

In order to solve the problem of water use in Shangjing, several large reservoirs have been built around. In addition to the well-known Miyun reservoir, there are Guanting reservoir, Baihebao reservoir, Haizi reservoir, etc. these reservoirs are very large to ensure the water use in Shangjing.

Zhongzhou province has always been a major grain producing province. In order to ensure agricultural water use, a large amount of groundwater has been extracted.

If groundwater is used too much, the ground will sink. This sinking is very small, and people certainly can't feel it. But after sinking, it will bring harm, but ordinary people don't know it.

In fact, the construction of the reservoir can not solve this problem, or even worsen, because there is an impermeable layer at the bottom of the reservoir, which is to prevent water from seeping into the ground, but the water on the surface will evaporate.

Nevertheless, the advantages of building a reservoir outweigh the disadvantages, because it can concentrate water supply and control water resources. If it is not built, there is no way to do so.

The amount of water evaporated in the north is usually several times that of precipitation. If three cubic meters of water are evaporated, only one cubic is returned to the ground through rainfall.

get down to business.

"Water use is really a problem, but since there is a reservoir, the problem will not be very big. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of cost," Yuan said

Chen Defu said: "for the output of 10000 mu, there is not much cost for water use. On average, even if one mu of land is watered several times, it will cost a few yuan a year."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "a few yuan a year is not much. Even if it is ten thousand mu, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"With so many fields, it's estimated that there will be tens of thousands of yuan of profit a year. Basically, there will be no profit."

Chen Defu wry smile: "agriculture is like this, doing the hardest and most tired work, making the least money."

In fact, agriculture is like this. It is indispensable for any country. However, the price of main grain has been pressed by the state and it does not want to be too high. After all, it is to ensure that the lowest income people in the country will not starve to death. If the price of grain is too high, the state will vigorously invest in developing agriculture and reclaiming land.

Zhang Qianxiu also knows that agriculture is not particularly profitable. To make money, it's high-tech and finance. Manufacturing is the second, and agriculture is the last.

Zhang Qianxiu did not continue to struggle with this question, and asked: "Mr. Chen, please tell us about the terrain and land conditions there."

Chen Defu said: "boss Zhang, our terrain is very flat. It's just in the plain. It's very suitable for large-scale planting. You can see it in this picture."

With that, Chen Defu picked up the photos and showed them to Zhang Qianxiu and Yuan pengchi.

This photo is quite comprehensive. At this glance, it's all land. Because it's winter, there is a vast expanse of white, and basically no bulge can be seen.

The overall terrain is so flat, even if there are some places that are a little convex, Zhang Qianxiu can also find a way to push him flat.
