Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 192: Food self-sufficiency

The northern and southern hemispheres have opposite seasons. At the end of August, Rio Grande do Sul is in the early spring season. At this time, the retired soldiers who have settled for a year and the Chinese workers who have subsequently migrated have just finished harvesting the third crop and started to clear the crops in the field. The stalks and slackened land are preparing for the new year's spring ploughing.

Crops in South America are generally three crops a year. Rice, corn, soybeans, and sweet potatoes are the crops with a high local planting rate. The total planting rate of rice and sweet potatoes accounts for 70% of the cultivated area of ​​South Rio Grande. Soybeans account for about 15%, and the remaining 5% are agricultural crops such as wood department and wheat.

Rice is the staple food of the Chinese. The Chinese who obtained a large amount of land first dig a pond on the appropriate land, and then made a few isolated farmlands in the surrounding part of the pond. The water in the pond was used to provide rice. With the right amount of water, plant a slice of green seedlings.

In the southern part of the mainland, one acre of good paddy field can be exchanged for three or four acres of dry land. If a family has more than ten acres of paddy field, it means that the family is either the landlord of the village or a scholar with a good name.

In mainland China, the quality and quality of land is the main basis for judging whether a family is prosperous. The average Chinese person has accumulated a wealth or a position of power. The first thing to do is to purchase a large amount of land as the inherited capital of the family. In Rio Grande do Sul, the Chinese who have been given large tracts of land have not changed their previous concepts. They have been working hard for hundreds of acres of land for a whole year and are unwilling to waste large areas of grass and waste.

The first group of Chinese who followed Li Mingyuan's expedition from Peru survived about 110,000. Each of them was allocated more than 300 acres of land. When the land was just distributed, Li Mingyuan persuaded them in advance. Among the hundreds of acres of land, twenty to thirty acres are selected as fertile land for farming, and other parts of the land are sprinkled with grass seeds and fenced as pastures, where cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock are stocked, or economic plants such as cocoa and coffee are planted. Beans etc.

Li Mingyuan's persuasion has played a positive role. Some Chinese who have worked as laborers in the plantation restored their hometowns, while operating 20-30 acres of farmland, and receiving government-provided cash crop seeds. Try to run mixed crops on the land,

The other part is represented by Chinese who are farmers from the bottom of Fujian Province. They have experienced the pain of being hungry and hungry without land, and they are afraid of living such a hard time again, so these Chinese people will distribute as much as possible to them. Land reclamation is farmland, and high-yield crops such as rice, sweet potatoes, and corn are planted.

In Rio Grande do Sul, the poor Chinese are the overwhelming majority. They abide by the simple truth that there is grain in their hands and are not panic in their hearts. They are busy in the fields every day, reclaiming land and arranging farmland as much as possible.

Most of the Chinese did not stop to enjoy a comfortable life after retiring, but instead engaged in wasteland farming with an urgent mentality.

Starting from the first crop planting in July last year, until the spring plowing this year, hard-working Chinese people used simple iron ploughs, a small amount of steam planting machinery and other tools to cultivate 5 million acres of farmland, 12 million acres of pasture and grassland. After making South Rio Grande meet the self-sufficiency of food, it can still save a part of the surplus food as a reserve.

Grain is an important part of the stability of the country at any period. After the statistics of the number of grain production in one year ended, Li Mingyuan ordered the purchase of surplus grain at a price 1.2 times higher than the average grain price in South America to regulate the grain price and prevent emergence. Falling grain prices have hit farmers' enthusiasm for production.

The purchased grain is mainly placed in the reserve grain silo, and the replaced old grain will be distributed to military field forces as military grain.

Pingshan Town, former San Javier Iron Mine. Now the first mixed brigade of the National Defense Forces.

A team of more than 70 people took 12 small boats loaded with food, weapons and ammunition, and quietly crossed the border line on the rivers of Rio Grande do Sul, Argentina, and Paraguay, heading towards the national land line of Argentina.

After twelve boats entered Argentine territory, they sneaked along a winding forested river course.

"Da da answer." The sound of the steam engine peculiar to the inland river gunboat sounded at the other end of the river, and it alarmed the small fleet of cautious looks.

"Coach, listen to the sound. The gunboat is sailing towards us. Should the fleet be ready to fight?"

On the boat in front of the fleet, the soldier operating the only heavy machine gun on the ship whispered.

"Wait a second, let's observe the situation."

The man in the black military uniform carefully braided and listened to the direction of the gunboat's sound, and at the same time whispered that the ship behind him should not be exposed.

The sound of the gunboat lasted for two minutes. Two minutes later, a group of Argentine water gunboat patrol forces approached the small boat, bypassing the narrow waterway where the boat was located and heading in the other direction.

After successfully evading the Argentine water patrol unit, the man in military uniform raised his arm and made a gesture. After seeing the gesture, the ship in the rear immediately followed the first boat to follow the order of the gesture representative.

Ma Jizu is a company commander of the First Mixed Brigade. As a Chinese who followed the Li Mingyuan uprising in Peru, his qualifications exceeded that of many Battalion-level officers of the First Mixed Brigade. However, he was not caught up because he was injured on the way to southern Brazil. Opportunities for the Paraguayan war and subsequent battles have not been promoted.

Participated in the uprising at the same time as Ma Jizu, Chinese soldiers assigned to a class ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In addition to the five killed and retired due to injuries, three of the remaining seven were promoted to battalion level officers, and two were promoted to deputy Battalion officer, only he and another person are still hanging on the company commander.

Ma Jizu was originally the first person in the class to be promoted to a company-level officer. However, due to an injury experience, his fellow comrades who had a previous rank lower than his rank were promoted. Only he was pulled behind. In the face of missing military merits, in addition to regrets, Ma Jizu was also looking for opportunities to accumulate military merits, and contacting Sun Qisheng in Argentina to transport supplies for Sun Qisheng's troops was an opportunity he managed to earn.

Ma Jizu has been transporting supplies for Sun Qi Sanctuary for half a year. This time, the Argentine inland river patrol gunboat unit that suddenly appeared near the transport route made him feel abnormal.

The war between Argentina and Paraguay went on for about seven months. During the war, the cruise lines of the Argentine troops were generally close to the waters of the Paraguayan border. For waters near Pingshan Township, the patrol density and intensity are low.

The Argentine patrol gunboat that suddenly appeared on the stowaway supply route made Ma Jizu vigilant in advance. In the next voyage, adhering to the principle of caution, the supply fleet did not choose a scheduled route, but bypassed the previously explored trail. Finally delayed two days to reach Sun Qisheng's base in northern Argentina. Find this site Please search for "" or enter the URL:
