Due to the backward farming conditions, technology, and equipment, the cultivated land in Jiading County had not been fully utilized.
Coupled with the fact that this year was an unfavorable year, the people of Jiading County did not have a good harvest.
At the same time, the exploitation of the big landowners made the lives of the commoners and farmers at the bottom even worse.
Fortunately, Jiading County was now implementing land reform to distribute land to households, which gave the farmers hope.
The Director of the Agriculture Bureau, Xu Hezhang, and the Director of the Land Bureau, Zhuang Guoting, reported to Sucheng about the land reform and the agricultural harvest in Jiading County.
After Su Cheng roughly understood the situation in Jiading County, he looked at Xu Hezhang and said,"Chief Xu, from this year onwards, we will distribute rice seeds to the people of the county for free!”
"These rice seeds are not completely distributed for free. If the common people can produce more than 500 catties of rice per mu next year, they will have to hand over a quarter of the yield to our county government!”
"Let me give you a simple example. If the yield per mu can reach 600 catties, then you need to hand over 150 catties!”
"Of course, if the yield per mu does not reach more than 500 catties, then there is no need to hand over any grain or rent!”
Zhuang Guoting, Xu Hezhang, and the others were stunned. They stared at Su Cheng in disbelief.
He was stunned.
He was a little dumbfounded.
500 catties per mu?
This was impossible, right?
Now that the weather was good, a yield of 300 catties per mu was considered a bumper harvest.
500 catties per mu sounded like a dream.
Actually, Su Cheng was being conservative.
According to the system's introduction, super hybrid rice could reach 1500 catties per mu, but Su Cheng deliberately lowered it to 500 catties per mu!
500 catties per mu was already enough to shock everyone present. If he said 1500 catties per mu, then everyone present would think that the county head of Sucheng had gone crazy!
Xu Hezhang recovered from his shock and looked at Su Cheng."That county head, perhaps you don't understand the development of agriculture!”
"Right now, our highest yield per mu of rice is 300 catties. This is the yield under favorable weather. It's almost impossible to produce 500 catties per mu!”
"Perhaps a fertile field can occasionally produce 500 catties per mu, but this is almost impossible.”
Zhuang Guoting also said," That's right, county head. The land in Jiading County isn't considered fertile. According to the yield per mu in previous years, it's basically about 200 catties or more!”
"How can the yield per mu reach 500 catties?”
Zhuang Guoting, Xu Hezhang, and the others were already shocked and in disbelief by the yield of 500 catties per mu.
If Su Cheng said that the super hybrid rice could reach 1500 catties per mu, they would be even more shocked and incredulous.
"Chief Zhuang, Chief Xu, you think that it's impossible to produce 500 catties per mu, but I'm very confident!" Su Cheng smiled.”
"Just follow my request and promote my rice seeds. I believe there will be unexpected gains.”
According to the system's introduction, super hybrid rice could reach 1500 catties per mu. If he had to hand over a quarter of the yield, then he would have to hand over 375 catties.
Handing over 500 catties to the county government was not a small amount, but he believed that the common people and farmers would be willing to hand it over. After all, even if they handed over 375 catties, they still had more than 1,000 catties in their hands. This was ten times more than the previous yield per mu.
Under such circumstances, the commoners were absolutely willing to hand over a quarter of the yield per mu to the county government.
Since Su Cheng was so determined, Xu Hezhang nodded and said,"Alright, county head, I'll arrange for the working group to promote the new type of rice seeds!”
"I believe there won't be much resistance to promoting this rice seed. After all, it's equivalent to giving it to the common people!”
To reach 500 catties per mu, one had to hand over a quarter of the yield per mu to the county government. Other than Su City, no one believed that it could reach 500 catties per mu…
