"So I was thinking about how to adapt to local conditions. The total area of the five northwest provinces is almost three million square kilometers. If we include the central and western regions of Mongolia, it is nearly four million square kilometers, which is almost the same. one third of the land area.
But the population of the northwest region is just over 100 million, which is only about one-third of our total population. Only about one-third of the population lives in more than one-third of the land area. This can be said to be a truly vast land and sparsely populated area. "
“It is basically impossible to use the population to develop manufacturing industries and win factories relocated from the central and eastern regions like many central provinces do, because the population is too small, and the northwest region has never been a major exporter of population.
And although attracting manufacturing industries will help improve the development of the local economy, it will also bring new problems. For example, the most common thing is that the population flows to cities and the rural population decreases significantly. This leads to the hollowing out of the entire countryside and a large amount of land will be left idle.
Of course, the mistakes made in the central and eastern regions cannot be made again in the northwest region. How to develop balanced development has also become a question that I have been thinking about for a long time. "
Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at Zhang Jun and Shen Ning, and then continued: "So I thought about it again and again, and decided to focus on the agricultural field. Relying on the advantage of the vast land and sparse population, we will develop commercial planting and animal husbandry. , and strive to build the entire northwest region into a high-quality commercial grain production base, high-quality livestock area, and high-quality beef and mutton production area in the country and even the world.
In this way, the rural population can grow commercial grains or raise cattle and sheep. Or encourage the establishment of enterprises in rural areas, with villagers taking shares and starting joint ventures.
In this way, rural areas can integrate resources to become bigger and stronger, and farmers can not only participate in year-end dividends as shares, but also participate in the entire enterprise's production process as the main labor force, acting as employees responsible for production.
In this way, these rural people not only have stable jobs, which can bring considerable income, but also receive dividends at the end of the year, which is another considerable amount of income. Together, they can achieve a moderately prosperous life. "
As for cities and towns, they serve as distribution centers for the material resources of farms and pastures in the surrounding villages, such as providing chemical fertilizers, pesticides, grain seeds, cattle and sheep calves, veterinary medicines, expert consulting services on agricultural issues, veterinarians and other service industries, providing services to the surrounding villages. Providing services to rural agricultural and animal husbandry industries.
In addition, grain, cattle and sheep produced in surrounding villages can be concentrated in cities and towns for further processing. For example, grain drying, shelling and grinding are used to produce commercial grain.
Another example is the centralized slaughtering and deep processing and stratification of these cattle and sheep, and the rough processing of wool.
Use the surrounding agricultural and animal husbandry industries to promote the development of urban industry and economy, so that we can drive the overall development of the entire town and countryside.
After hearing Wu Hao's thoughts, Zhang Jun nodded in affirmation, and then said worriedly: "Of course the idea is a good idea. In fact, this is also the best development cooperation model for urban and rural areas at present. In many areas They all tried, but without exception they all failed, or the results achieved were not so ideal.
The reason is that there is no good industry as a foundation. How to make the agriculture and animal husbandry you mentioned grow stronger and have market competitiveness is an issue we must think about and pay attention to.
If this problem is not solved, everything you imagine will be a castle in the air. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun looked at Shen Ning and continued: "Furthermore, we must research and cultivate high-quality crop varieties and cattle and sheep varieties. Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in the market and develop steadily in the long term. .
Finally, there is the contradiction between our new production model and the traditional production model. First of all, our farms and ranches basically adopt intelligent unmanned management. There are many people on the ranch, and the farm basically implements an unmanned full-process production model.
This production method will naturally save us a lot of labor costs, but at the same time, it squeezes out the working and living space of local people. We can't give up the unmanned and intelligent system in order to help local people get rich. Isn't this a step backwards? "
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Shen Ning took the lead and said: "We have been in the process of cultivating new varieties of our crops, and we have achieved very fruitful results so far.
For example, we have newly developed a new type of wheat variety that has very good drought resistance, salt-alkali resistance, barrenness resistance, cold resistance, and resistance to diseases and insect pests. In addition, the yield of this wheat variety is also greatly improved compared to traditional wheat varieties.
The yield per mu of traditional wheat is about 300 kilograms to 600 kilograms, and the average yield per mu is about 700 to 800 kilograms. As for our new wheat variety, its yield per mu can reach about 500 kilograms to 800 kilograms, with an average of 600 kilograms. The yield is 50% higher than the current wheat varieties, which can be said to be very huge.
More importantly, it can grow in arid desert areas. Although it will affect the yield per mu, it can still reach the level of ordinary wheat, which can be said to be very excellent.
In addition, we have also developed a new type of silage feed based on corn and sorghum. At present, the most common sweet corn silage yield per mu is about 12 to 15 tons. The yield per mu of green storage corn plus straw is about 3.5 tons.
As for our new genetically modified sorghum green storage feed, its yield per mu will reach about 20 to 25 tons, which is an increase in output by half.
Ordinary sorghum is about three to five meters tall, but our genetically modified sorghum can reach a height of seven to eight meters, and because it is hybridized with corn genes, its stalks are stronger, more nutritious, and more nutritious. Loved by cattle and sheep.
As well as our latest achievements in sunflowers, we have developed a new sunflower variety with larger flower cakes, more sunflower seeds inside, fuller and higher oil yield.
There are many similar new crop varieties, but the current problem is that our country is very strict and cautious in regulating genetically modified and gene-edited crops, so it is difficult to promote and cultivate these crops, let alone eat them. Even the silage fodder varieties bred for cattle and sheep will not work.
So our biggest task now is to obtain approval. The work I have done in this area in the past six months has exceeded my salary in scientific research and company management.
We even have a professional public relations team that is conducting public relations all over the capital, trying to get these approval documents issued as soon as possible. But you also know that it is very difficult to win these things and it will take time. "
