"I''m sorry, Mr. durin, I may not understand you. What do you mean..." a farmer with a thick hat stood on the wilderness outside the city and looked at the land just sold. He felt like a ghost, "do you mean we don''t use pesticides and catch insects by hand?"
Insects exist everywhere. It is said that there are still some small organisms in the mantle. In this open ecological environment in the west, in fact, there are no fewer insects than people think. The ecological environment here is relatively bad, and the insects living here are also very "strong". These gadgets have a strong ability to overeat. A caterpillar can eat leaves 20 to 30 times its weight in one day.
They store these foods in their stomachs to survive possible "famine". Whenever new farmland is cultivated, people are most concerned about the efficiency of pesticides. I don''t know when to start. The effective time of the new insecticide has been shortened to two or three years. After the prescription, the insects will certainly die if they are soaked in the pesticide, but they are not poisoned, but drowned. Therefore, after spring, people will take some insects hatched at home to the sales points of major pesticide companies in the west to check the efficacy of pesticides this year.
These insects are always troublesome. It is not only troublesome to sprinkle pesticides, but also troublesome to soak and disinfect the operations after pesticide harvesting. In the west, the price of vegetables is about the same as that of the lowest grade beef, sometimes a little higher.
Standing in front of a group of farmers, Du Lin nodded, "yes, our farmland does not need any pesticides. All insects must be completed manually to ensure that all crops will not be infected by pesticides."
"However, the workload is very heavy. We can''t ensure whether there are insects on the back of each leaf, and with all due respect, doing so will bring more waste. In fact, using some new pesticides won''t cause too many residues. They have special cleaning agents..." the farmer was still talking about this problem, but Du Lin raised his hand to stop him from going on.
"I invite you to come and give you a good salary, not to discuss with you how I should grow the land. You just need to follow my instructions, which is why I pay you.", Turin kicked the withered and yellow weeds under his feet, "You are all the best farmers here. I believe you can help me take care of these lands very beautifully. As long as I am satisfied, material rewards will often appear in front of you. Now, I hope you can lead my people to turn over all the lands here. Spring is not far away!"
Although the farmers still had some complaints, they finally compromised under the high salary offered by Turin. No one will be unhappy with money, whether he is a big man or a small man like a farmer.
These farmers employed by Du Lin are good hands in farming nearby, or generations of farmers. Their knowledge of land and crops is definitely more insightful and reliable than those scholars who sit in the office while enjoying coffee and massage. These people will become the biggest driving force of this land and help him to land 500 hectares as soon as possible Cultivate the land once.
Twenty brand-new agricultural vehicles suddenly started, and the local guards and some local people began farming.
When I returned to the villa, Buddha was a little strange. If I didn''t do good mining, how could I think of farming and animal husbandry?
His question was soon answered by Du Lin, "the reason is very simple, one is for economic effect, the other is to kidnap more local people in the West!"
"How much do you think a sweet cabbage can sell?" , sweet cabbage is a kind of cheap vegetable widely planted in the Empire. The weight of each one varies from 1 kg to 2 kg, and it is widely used. It can be cooked as a main dish, but it is often used as a side dish, such as hot dogs, hamburgers and barbecue staple foods.
Dufo recalled and tentatively replied, "a penny?"
Dooling smiled and hung his coat on the hanger. "No, my ideal price is ten, or even higher." he said as he walked in, "You should understand that the upper class society is very particular about diet, especially those rich aristocrats. They don''t care whether they eat ten yuan or one hundred yuan a meal. They only care whether their food is good enough to set off their worth."
"Which do you think they will choose, a ten cent piece of cabbage or a penny piece of cabbage? And we will package these cabbage, which will more attract the blind consumption of these rich people!"
Dufo reacted instantly. His inaction doesn''t mean he''s a fool. "That''s why you don''t use pesticides to let people catch insects?"
"That''s right!" they went to the sofa and sat down casually. They were all their own people at home. There was no need to put on any shelf. "There will never be chemical pollution. Each sweet cabbage is artificially caught. They enjoy separate care. With more scientific sunshine, irrigation and fertilization, someone will pay for these sweet cabbage. Do you know how many sweet cabbage can be planted per mu?" , dufo shook his head. He didn''t know much about these things. Durin continued: "about 26700 can be planted per mu, which can be counted as 2500..."
At this time, duverton took a breath. He looked at the hair on Turin''s head strangely, "how does your head grow? If you can do all this, the income per mu of land can exceed 200 yuan?". He calculated that the income of 500 hectares, three quarters a year, may be... He broke his fingers. Anyway, it was millions!
It''s also farming. Why can this guy''s brain think of things that others can''t think of, so it''s better to leave it to Turing!
Seeing that dufo suddenly lost the motivation to continue to explore, Du Lin didn''t go on. In fact, the money is not what he cares about most. What he cares about most is how many people can be kidnapped in these lands. If one acre of land can accommodate ten people to work, then one hectare is 150 people, and five hundred hectares is 75000 people. 75000 people on the South or East Coast may only account for a few to ten percent of the employment in a city.
However, in the west, the population of a city will not exceed one million at most. According to those cities with a population of 5.6 million, this can almost meet the demand for jobs in a city. In other words, as long as we can ensure that these farmers and herdsmen can keep their salaries. At that time, all farms will be fully spread in the West. It can be said that Du Lin will become the "boss" of the vast majority of people in the West. More than 30 to 40 percent of the people here are his employees.
By that time, he has the final say.
Of course, mining should be dug. The mining area is far more profitable than farming and animal husbandry, with less burden, less expenditure and more stable income, which can help Du Lin make up for the economic pressure brought by hiring too many farmers.
The workers in the farm are working in full swing. Unknowingly, it is approaching February. The tail of cold winter is looming, the pace of spring has sounded, and people begin to take off their thick coats. Even in the desolate West, there is a glimmer of vibrant scenery.
On the contrary, Otis is still in a cold winter, and the winter in the north is a little slower than that in the southwest. Early in the morning, Donald signed a contract for the comprehensive development of phase II urban construction of Otis with Mr. Polly Kape, the representative of Kape family, in the conference room of the city hall under the irradiation of flash lamp. This means that the circle around Otis will enter the construction stage. Outside the window was the crowd holding plaques and banners, but people''s attention was focused on the room.
Polly is Soro''s nephew and one of the competitors for the heirs. The two heirs were assigned two jobs, one in Otis and the other in the new special zone in the south. Polly is the head of Otis city. The last two competitors who can bring more benefits to the family than planned can sit in the position of home owner. It''s fair. The Kape family has its own evaluation method, and the battle for successors has entered the final stage.
Polly stood behind the table and exchanged contracts with Donald to local and foreign journalists. Under a series of flashing magnesium lights, he announced loudly, "From today on, the hymn consortium will allocate no less than 70 million funds for the second phase urban construction plan of Otis city. We will continue to expand one kilometer around the existing urban area, and strive to build Otis city into one of the largest cities in the hinterland of the Empire."
"In this process, we will provide at least 180000 jobs, solve some existing problems and help Otis City Hall sort out some contradictions. I believe that with the cooperation of the hymn consortium and the city hall, Otis city will step onto a new level again..."
In fact, according to the truth, Mr. Donald, mayor of Otis, should speak, but now he has joined the Kape family. Polly, as the next heir who may become the owner of the family, obviously has a much higher status than him, and he must make concessions for Polly.
He looked at Polly with a complicated look. His secretary gently pulled his sleeve behind him. He frowned and glanced back. His secretary pointed to the receiver that had been put aside beside the telephone cabinet.
He took a few steps back, turned around, walked to the telephone cabinet and picked up the receiver. The sound from the receiver made him feel barely able, and suddenly walked into a very bad abyss.
