Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 72 Buying Machinery
Liu Guang took Zhu Changyuan out of Professor Gu's house and went straight to the agricultural machinery station.

There is a large agricultural machinery station in the urban-rural fringe of the western suburbs of Nandu, not far from the agricultural materials station, and less than three kilometers away from the meat factory.

There was no traffic jam in the suburbs, and it took the two of them half an hour to drive to the farm machinery station.

There are all kinds of agricultural machinery in the agricultural machinery station.

The first problem Zhu Changyuan has to solve now is to cultivate the land. To improve the soil, the first thing to do is to loosen the land, and to loosen the land, the first thing to do is to level the land.Although letting that group of naughty soldiers to level it is just a temporary way to restrict their freedom, and they don't really expect these soldiers to be able to level the [-] mu of land into what it looks like.

Entering the agricultural machinery station, the two wandered around but couldn't find a specific place to sell the machinery. A service person came up and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"

Zhu Changyuan thought for a while, and said, "A tractor is the kind of small four-wheeled tractor that can plow the ground with a plow."

"We have Weifang Machinery, Taishan Machinery, and Dongfanghong Brand here. I don't know which one you need, and how much horsepower do you need?" The waiter almost vomited blood when Zhu Changyuan asked.

Thinking about when I was a child in my hometown, the small four-wheel heads used for plowing in the village only had a dozen or twenty horsepower, and said: "Any brand will do, just a dozen or more horsepower will do. Bar."

"Okay, you come with me."

Zhu Changyuan followed the waiter to another yard full of various agricultural machinery.

"This is a 25-hp small tractor produced by Weifang Machinery. Do you think it is feasible?"

Zhu Changyuan stepped forward and turned around, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes, this is the kind." It looked exactly the same as the plowing at home when I was a child. I remember that my father always took me back to his hometown to visit his grandfather when the farming was busy. Grandma, help them harvest the crops and plow the land. This is what was used at that time, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Okay." The waiter has been here for a long time, and this is the first time he has met such an eloquent owner. He doesn't even need to try, just ask for it, "Sir, the original price of our tractor is 20.00. If You have a rural household registration and can enjoy a [-]% state subsidy, do you know who you are?"

"I can't make it up. I have an urban hukou." Zhu Changyuan shook his head. Even if he has a rural hukou, he has to go to the street or the village to go through the formalities. It's too troublesome. A waste of time is a waste of resources.

"That's okay, we will deliver the goods to your door. I don't know where you send them, sir?"

Zhu Changyuan said the address, and the waiter urged to check out, Zhu Changyuan said: "No hurry, I want to buy more, one is not enough."

One is definitely not enough. There are [-] mu of dry land on the island. Even if the first phase of development is [-] to [-] mu, this small tractor is not enough.

No matter what, there must be ten or twenty.

"Oh." The waiter said excitedly, "Excuse me sir, how much do you want?"

Zhu Changyuan frowned, pinched his fingers and counted, but couldn't figure it out.Ask the waiter, "Do you know how much land this thing can plow in a day?"

Sun Moon God Island is two to three hundred miles south of Phi Island, and its latitude is about the same as that of northern Shandong and southern Hebei. It is still possible to grow crops twice a year.Right now the wheat has been harvested, and only corn can be grown on the island. If a bumper harvest is to be guaranteed, the planting must be completed within the next month.

It is unrealistic to plant [-] mu, and there is no such condition now, but in order to ensure the food problem of thousands of people on the island and possibly even more people in the future, at least [-] mu must be planted.

This is a hard indicator, and the speed of plowing land is like a control project, stuck at a critical position in this construction period.

"I don't know about this, let me ask for you." The waiter made a phone call, and then said to Zhu Changyuan: "Sorry, sir, I kept you waiting for a long time. The small four-wheel tractor you are looking at takes an hour. The area of ​​arable land is about three to four mu, and I’m talking about flat ground.”

"So little?" Zhu Changyuan frowned.On flat land, there are three to four mu of land per hour, and a machine that works day and night can only guarantee [-] to [-] mu of land per day.

Ten machines can plow 30 mu a day, and it takes [-] days to complete [-] mu of land. Is this on flat ground? If the ground is not very flat, and the efficiency of long-term work is reduced, it will not take two months. Can't finish.

It seems that this small four wheel is not the best choice.

"Is there something more efficient?" Zhu Changyuan asked.

"Yes, follow me. The most efficient tractor we have now is the John Deere 1654 tractor. It comes with a six-share reversing plow, which can plow [-] acres of land per hour. The requirements are not so harsh. Of course, roughly flat land is still required.”

"Okay, take me to see it."

The three of them walked to another smaller yard and saw several large tractors.These tractors are five meters long from front to back, and their wheels are almost as tall as a person. They look very imposing. Compared with the small four wheels, they are like shotguns and cannons.

"Sir, this is the John Deere 1654 tractor. It is imported and costs 52 yuan each. The country has no subsidy policy for this machine."

Just after the waiter finished speaking, Liu Guang jumped up, "Damn it, it's so expensive!"

"It's not expensive anymore. When it first entered our country, one set cost 80 million!"

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, just leave it alone, give me four sets, 200 million will do?"

The waiter nodded.

When I went back, I saw a small excavator at the entrance of the Agricultural Machinery Station, not much bigger than the 1654 tractor. Thinking that my own carriage should also be able to transport it, I asked the staff of the Agricultural Machinery Station: "Do you have this thing here?"

The staff of the Agricultural Machinery Station shook his head and said no, and said, "This is construction machinery, and we need to order it from the manufacturer."

Well, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself, just hand over the bank card to Liu Guang and let him do it, and you only need to withdraw 100 million from the card and deposit it in another card for backup.

In addition to buying four large tractors, Zhu Changyuan also bought some sets of agricultural equipment, which can be installed on tractors, such as seeders and harvesters.When these things are used, they can be installed behind or in front of the tractor.

I also bought five small four-wheel tractors. Although the things are small, they are cheap, and they may be used for other purposes.

Sitting in the car, I did some calculations.Of the 2000 million yuan obtained in the previous auction, the commission of 200 million yuan was paid out, leaving 800 million yuan left.

Another purchase of a motorboat, another purchase of a speedboat, and being cheated of 500 million by that damned woman, Qu Beibei, left 1000 million.This time, almost another 250 million was spent on the purchase of machinery, and 100 million was kept for myself. When it was given to Liu Guang, there were still more than 600 million on the card.

It's really spending money like water, this f*cking [-] million is not enough to toss, and I haven't done anything.Then there are fertilizers, seeds, and a large amount of cement that needs to be purchased.

Zhu Changyuan sighed and returned to the meat joint factory silently.
