Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1624 No wonder you are so rich
The two old men watched the harvester walking back and forth in the field. The wheat fields were harvested soon, and the bags of wheat were piled up on the concrete road.

Soon, another four-wheeled carriage came, and bags of wheat were loaded onto the carriage, and they were transported back to Longtou Town at once. The whole process was very fast.

In the eyes of two old people who have been farming all their lives, this is not farming, it is simply enjoying, and it can even be said that they don't even need to sweat much.

The only tiring part is when carrying the wheat. There are four-wheeled carriages for this transportation. On this smooth concrete road, it doesn't take much effort at all.

Thinking back to when I used to work hard to harvest the wheat, and had to carry the wheat back after harvesting, it was impossible to say that there was a carriage for you to use.

Carriages are things that even landlords and rich families do not necessarily have. They are like bullock carts, but the roads are very difficult to walk. Unlike Longtou Town, the spacious concrete roads lead in all directions, and these four-wheeled carriages can be seen everywhere. Very convenient.

Not only can you pull goods, but even people can sit on it lazily, saving you from the hard work of walking.

"Old, old, really old."

The two couldn't help shaking their heads while watching.

Times change too fast.

Faster than the two imagined.

They didn't dare to imagine that one day they could farm like this and it could be so easy.

Looking at the vast and boundless fields in front of me, I immediately understood why Longtou Town could cultivate such a huge field even though there were not many people here.

What they rely on are all kinds of machinery. If they rely on traditional farming methods, no matter how diligent and exhausted they are in the fields, they may not be able to grow a few acres of land.

The two old men walked while watching.

In the vast fields, you can see black smoke and whining steam harvesters busy in the fields everywhere. On the road, you can see four-wheeled carriages full of grain transporting carts of grain back to the faucet. town.

The golden wheat waves fluctuated with the wind, and the wheat fields were harvested soon, and a large number of birds descended from the sky to look for food in the wheat fields.

The two old men also took a closer look in the wheat field, and couldn't help feeling sorry for it.

"Although this machine harvests wheat very quickly and saves trouble, there is a lot of wasted wheat. Look, look, you can see fallen ears of wheat and wheat everywhere in this field. What a pity, what a good wheat!"

Uncle Li picked up a bunch of wheat ears from the field, and said regretfully.

Looking at these people busy in the field, it seems that no one has the intention of picking wheat ears at all.

Thinking back to when I was farming before, it was absolutely impossible to pull off the ears of wheat in the field, and I had to pick them all up. The fallen ears of wheat may be life-saving food for the family, and even the dropped wheat ears They're all going to be cleaned up.

Looking at the vast field now, after harvesting, I don't know how much food is left in the field, and no one picks it up. Let it stay in the field, which is cheaper for those hordes of small bird.

"They're all busy harvesting wheat, so where is the time to pick this wheat?"

Uncle Wang also shook his head slightly, and looked at the busy figures, the vast fields, and a large number of wheat fields waiting to be harvested. He really didn't have time to pick up the fallen wheat.

As the two walked, they watched the harvesting of the wheat fields. Before they knew it, they were a little far away from Longtou Town and came to the farming area of ​​Longtou Town.

I saw that there are large and large sheds here, and you can also see large and large pastures. At the same time, the nearby fields are no longer planted with wheat, but replaced with various lush pastures.

I saw that in these pasture fields, people were constantly harvesting pasture, and then pulled it back with four-wheeled carriages.

And here in the ranch, you can see steam machines roaring and billowing black smoke.

The two old people walked over curiously and saw that it was a shredder. Bundles of grass were put into it, and they were quickly crushed into a pile, and then loaded into a special funnel-shaped four-wheeled carriage.

Driving a four-wheeled carriage to the ranch, as soon as the valve was opened, a steady stream of pasture was added to the wooden trough, and the cattle and sheep raised came to grab food one after another.

The four-wheeled carriage kept moving forward, and the pasture was continuously flowed out and added to the wooden trough. A whole row passed by, and in a pasture, hundreds of cows and thousands of sheep were fed in this way.

"This……"

The two old men were once again shocked by what they saw.

Things like cattle and sheep are also available in my hometown in Henan.

Some wealthy families also raise cattle and sheep, but whether it is cattle or sheep, they all need to be raised, and it is impossible to raise them in captivity.

But these pastures in front of them are not too big, but they raise a lot of cattle and sheep, and even a lot of horses.

This whole-body farming method is simply beyond imagination.

Plant pasture, and then use pasture to raise cattle and sheep.

Looking at the appearance of these cattle and sheep, all of them are fat and strong, and they seem to be better than the cattle and sheep herding sheep.

"No wonder the people in the middle of the river are so rich!"

Uncle Li immediately understood.

The people in this area in the middle of the river first of all have a lot of fields, and every household has thousands of acres of fields. Such a large field, coupled with mechanized farming methods, produces a lot of food.

Among other things, the grain produced by any household can be sold for a large amount of money. Even though the price of grain is very cheap now, it is still a good income when the quantity is large.

The second is animal husbandry.

Because there are high-quality land and a large number of pastures here, it is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

The key is that the animal husbandry here is different from that of the nomadic tribes on the grasslands. Here is a fixed model, which specializes in planting high-quality pastures and selecting high-quality varieties for breeding. Coupled with the good breeding methods promoted by the government, this animal husbandry industry The output is extremely astonishing, far beyond what those nomadic tribes can compare.

Another point is that the grain output here is large, the food is endless, and the price is cheap. Naturally, a large amount can be used to feed livestock.

Looking up, you can see not only the pastures that raise cattle, sheep and horses, but also a series of pig farms that specialize in raising pigs. People can hear a lot of pigs screaming before they walk over.

Looking at some of the surrounding hills, you can also see a lot of chickens, a large area, a large area of ​​​​chickens, and the whole mountain is wiped out. Not only the bugs have been eaten up, but even the grass roots have been eaten. None left.

Looking at the breeders, it hurts to look at the bags of wheat being sprinkled down to feed the chickens.

In the eyes of the older generation, food is an extremely precious thing.

Especially the elderly who have experienced great famines and catastrophes think that food is more precious than their own lives.

It is basically impossible to feed poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese directly with grain. At the top of the day, they are fed with bran or something, and then let them find bugs to eat by themselves.

It's good here, one bag after another is sprinkled over to feed the chickens, and even pay attention to the nutritional combination, as well as a lot of corn kernels.

Bags and bags of corn kernels were thrown out like money, and they were eaten up by the chickens in a blink of an eye. After feeding these, they even had to be fed crushed pasture.

These chickens seemed to be never full. After eating the wheat, they ate corn kernels, and after eating the corn kernels, they could also graze grass.

"What a waste of food!"

Uncle Li said with great distress.

Thinking back, my brothers, if they had a bag of food, they could all survive.

Look now, this good grain is used to feed livestock like this.

Take a look at this large farming area.

Wheat, corn, beans, rice, sorghum, sweet potatoes, etc., all kinds of food are used to feed these livestock in large quantities.

This is willing to give up food, and the livestock fed are not only large in number, but also of good quality and high yield.

This is why Uncle Li sighed why the people in the Hezhong area are so rich.

Even if the grain output is large, the animal husbandry industry is developing quite well. Although the grain is not valuable, the cattle, sheep, horses, and pigs are still valuable.

Especially now that the train is open, it can be continuously transported to Daming Pass, without worrying about sales, and the price is guaranteed. Daming people eat more meat than before, and naturally there will be a steady stream of wealth.

On the other hand, my hometown in Henan has lagged far behind the Hezhong area in terms of agriculture. Not only is there not a lot of popularized mechanized farming, but the aquaculture industry is far behind the Hezhong area.
