Chapter 421
"If my father is not mistaken, this seems to be a car key, right?"
Ying Zheng carefully examined the small items in the box and guessed.
"My father is really discerning. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
"Fusu, you won't let your father change a new car every day, right?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing.
Now that Daqin steam cars have been put into production for a while, there are almost double digits in the palace, which is enough to form a fleet.
"This car, like the previous car, is not very different, and the role is not quite the same. "
Fusu introduced with a smile.
"Oh, it's all cars, what else can be different, my father wants to see it. "
Ying Zheng couldn't help but be interested.
Under the leadership of Fusu, a cadre came to the backyard of the prince's mansion and saw Yingzheng's new car.
"This car, it's a bit chic to build a "seven-zero-seven" model!"
After seeing his new gift, Ying Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The car in front of me, although it is not ugly, is definitely not good-looking.
The whole car is not only big, but also very rugged.
Just a few wheels occupy a huge proportion, and it always feels a little awkward to look at.
The full name of this thing is the steam tractor, although its appearance is not good, but the role is very large, can greatly improve the efficiency of farming, is the son of the emperor to participate in the spring ploughing when driving. "
Fusu introduced with a smile.
Although Daqin's grain output has been greatly improved, and there was even a situation where grain prices plummeted due to excessive yields, with the continuous promotion of various grain processing products, stability has been restored.
On the contrary, because there are more and more people who have abandoned agriculture and engaged in labor, it is very likely that Daqin's grain will be insufficient again in the future.
Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the tools of food production and improve the efficiency and yield of farming.
And after the appearance of the steam engine, Fusu immediately thought of this steam tractor.
Don't look at the name of the tractor is not outstanding, but the role is very large.
Due to the fact that the current steam engine power in Daqin is not enough, the tractor in front of him did not use the most efficient track, but was replaced with four thick oversized wheels, which were also specially treated with anti-skid treatment to increase the ability to pass in complex terrain such as paddy fields.
In addition, the tractor is equipped with a full set of farm tools, such as a towing mechanical plow, a seeder, a stone mill to level the ground, a large shovel to bulldoze the earth, and so on.
Not only can it be used for agriculture, but it is a good construction machine with a little modification.
And when the farm is slack, you can also install a rear bucket, pulling two or three thousand catties of goods is not a problem at all, which can provide the owner with an additional channel to increase income.
The rough appearance is also to reduce the cost and facilitate large-scale production.
"I see, I can't see that although this car is not good-looking, it has such a variety of skills. "
"With this artifact, my Great Qin's farming efficiency can be improved a lot. "
"It's just that the price of this car, ordinary farmers, I'm afraid they can't afford it, right?"
Ying Zheng thought for a long time before he spoke.
"The price is indeed not cheap, even if a variety of measures to reduce costs have been taken, such a steam tractor, even if the profit is controlled within 10%, the price will not be less than 1,000 yuan. "
"However, the income of my current farmers in Daqin has increased a lot compared to before, and a better family can buy a machine with a year's income. "
"For the people who do not have much money, the government can also take the lead and set up an organization similar to the farmers' mutual aid cooperative, which can raise funds in the name of villages and towns to purchase and use together, which can greatly reduce the cost of use. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"It's just like in the past, when there were not enough cattle in Daqin, five or ten households shared one cow. "
Fusu said with a smile.
His proposal, based on the practice of cooperatives in later generations, is definitely a good choice for farmers.
"That's very good. "
"At present, my Daqin is ten households for one mile, ten miles for one pavilion, if you can ensure that each pavilion has three to five of these new steam machinery, a year's harvest, it will be very secure. "
"The extra manpower can be put into industrial production, which can accelerate the construction of Daqin again. "
"It can also make the voice of farmers better conveyed to the state and county governments, or to the court through the feedback box. "
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
From the eyes of the First Emperor, it can naturally be seen that this peasant mutual aid organization can not only make it more convenient for the people to buy and use agricultural machinery such as steam engines, but also greatly strengthen the direct contact between the imperial court and the peasant households.0
This is definitely excellent news for the long-term peace and stability of Daqin. []
"Twenty families share a steam engine, which means that each family needs to pay fifty dollars, which is basically affordable. "
Erchen is also ready to let the Daqin Royal Money Bank take out a special amount of money to provide a three-year free loan for the steam tractors used by farmers. "
"If the annual output reaches a certain level, a certain amount of refined coal can also be subsidized to increase the planting enthusiasm of Daqin farmers. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
Due to various reasons such as grain prices, the enthusiasm of the people of Daqin today has decreased a lot.
Even many areas such as the relatively barren drylands have been left unused.
This is definitely a great waste for Daqin.
After all, grain is only a small part of the crop, and in addition to grain, the rest of the cash crops such as cotton, sugarcane, and pepper can be grown to increase comprehensive income.
This was difficult before, but with the advent of powered agricultural machinery such as steam engines, it has become possible.
With the steam tractor, as long as it is reasonably distributed, a family can completely handle more than 100 acres of land in a year, and the enthusiasm for pioneering will naturally increase by 1.7.
When there is not enough land in the Central Plains, the people will begin to move outside the Central Plains in an enthusiastic manner.
The territory newly incorporated by Great Qin will increase the proportion of the Qin people.
This is not only a problem of agriculture, but also a fundamental issue of migration and long-term stability.
As for whether the people of Daqin would accept this new type of steam tractor and new farming method, Fusu was not worried at all.
It is soon the spring ploughing season, as long as Yingzheng drives a tractor to take the lead in the field, there is no worry that the people of Daqin will not actively follow the trend.
Upward and downward effects have always been the best way to promote new things.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
received a gift, but was actually cheated by his son and used as a free image spokesperson.
However, such a big "pit", a little more, Yingzheng is also happy to accept it.
