I can’t help but go to the agricultural machinery market in person.

However, being a core parts supplier is also very profitable for Tianjin Machinery Company, and the market size will be even larger... because they can not only sell this new high-performance steam engine to Tangshan Machinery Company, but also

Sold to Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company and other agricultural machinery companies.

They only sell steam engines, but they don't care what customers do with the steam engines.

So after seeing the successful test of the steam plow from Tangshan Machinery Company, Sun Qi was already thinking about visiting Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company in the near future.

Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company also cooperates with Tianjin Machinery Company. Their steam combine harvester is expected to use this small high-performance steam engine from their Tianjin Machinery Company.

Now the company's small high-performance steam engine has performed well in the installation test, and Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company has always placed orders for it.

So after the experiment, Sun Qi took the train back to Tianjin. He only stayed in Tianjin for two days, and soon took a group of technicians and two small high-performance steam engines on a Northern Shipping Company aircraft.

Sailing steamer, heading to the mouth of the river in Liaodong Province.

Today's Hekou is Liaodong, and it is also the largest industrial zone in Northeast China. Relying on the rich coal and iron ore resources along the Liao River, Liaodong has established a number of steel plants along the Liao River. The steel was eventually transported along the Liao River.

Then transported to the river mouth.

Many companies on the Hekou side use these steel raw materials for various productions. Some of them are sold locally in the Northeast, but more are transported by sea to other provinces for sale.

Because the local industry developed well, many soybean processing industries, grain processing industries, wood processing industries, etc. were gathered here later.

Today's Hekou has developed from a remote place in the past to a large comprehensive industrial city, and even Gaizhou next door is also developing very well.

Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company is located here. Its scale and output value are nothing here in Hekou, and it cannot even be considered a medium-sized enterprise.

After all, the overall scale of today's agricultural machinery market is actually not large, and it cannot support any large enterprises.

But despite this, Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company has been able to rank among the top three nationwide in the field of agricultural machinery.

It is worth mentioning that the top three agricultural machinery companies in the Dachu Empire are basically concentrated in the Bohai Circle, that is, the largest Tangshan Machinery Company, the second-ranked Liaohe Machinery Company, and the third-ranked Hekou Agricultural Machinery Company.<

/p>

Among them, Liaohe Machinery Company, although its agricultural machinery business ranks third in the country, is actually not the main business of Liaohe Machinery Company. The main business of Liaohe Machinery Company is the research and development and production of various types of industrial equipment, especially steel equipment.

As well as mining equipment, their shipbuilding is also very good. They own the largest shipyard in the Bohai Sea region: Northeast Gaizhou Shipyard.

Their agricultural machinery business is just an inconspicuous part of their many businesses.

The reason why the agricultural business of the above three companies has been able to develop is actually because the Northeast region is vast and sparsely populated... The large amount of land to be developed and the shortage of labor have resulted in a very high demand for agricultural machinery and equipment in the Northeast region.

Big.

If this were replaced by those places in Guan Nei where there are many people and little land, there would be no market for these steam plows, combine harvesters and the like... because the agricultural model in Guan Nei is a super micro farm based on the family...

We can’t afford it, and we don’t need expensive harvesters.

Even horse farming is not possible... because the cost of horse farming is actually very high. The cost of raising a horse is equivalent to raising four or five people. If horses are used at the same time, they can only use extensive farming.

It will lead to a decrease in yield per mu.

If the amount of land to be cultivated is not large, people will starve to death if they use horse farming...

In many places within the pass, especially in the land of plenty, such as Jiangnan, Northern Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, cattle farming is used in these places, and intensive farming is a better farming model.

Under such circumstances, even power-charged threshing machines and power-charged rocker harvesters are not easy to sell in the customs... However, some human-powered agricultural machinery and equipment can be sold, such as human-powered pedal threshing machines, which are very popular among many farmers in the customs.

Our welcome.

Moreover, this thing has no patent, and the technology is very simple. Not to mention factories, even small workshops can do it. These simple basic agricultural machines are also the main products of major government-run small agricultural machinery factories.

This thing is very simple to make. The main components are a roller and a pedal. The technical part is the bearing.

But you don’t need to make bearings yourself. You can just purchase them from a specialized bearing manufacturer.

Therefore, these human-powered pedal threshing machines became popular throughout the Chu Empire in just a dozen years and became a good helper for farmers.

Therefore, looking at the agricultural structure of the Da Chu Empire, in fact, the development was not balanced.

People in the Northeast are starting to mechanize planting. It is estimated that steam tractors will be used next year, but many northern provinces do not even have power-charged harvesters.

In the southern provinces, the only mechanization available is a human pedal thresher... most of the processes are still completed by farmers themselves.

In some relatively poor and remote places, some farmers' families do not even have cattle or human-powered pedal threshing machines, and their agricultural production is still stuck in the traditional era.
