Hua Zhenxing understood it as soon as he heard it. Thinking of the future picture shown on the holographic sand table just now, he stretched out two fingers to draw a strip area along both sides of the river, and drew a circle in the valley upstream, where the reservoir appeared.
place.
This time, Mo Shangtong did not say that the heroes had the same vision. He simply pressed the remote control, and an area surrounded by red lines appeared on the sand table. On the high ground on the west side was an irregular circle with a diameter of more than ten dozen.
kilometers; below is a belt-like area with an overall width of about five kilometers along both sides of the Beisuo River until it enters the sea, with a length of nearly thirty kilometers.
Hua Zhenxing: "How much area is this?"
Mo Shangtong: "It's marked, you can see for yourself, it's about three hundred square kilometers."
According to this plan, for only 80,000 acres, more than 50 square kilometers of farmland, we have to buy 300 square kilometers of land in the entire basin. But think about the future, if we want to build reservoirs, build rivers, and form natural wetlands, it seems that only
It is suitable to start construction on your own site, and buying it outright will save you a lot of trouble.
Hua Zhenxing: "But there was an alternative plan to change the river course just now. If the river course is really changed, the Beisuo River will bypass this area to the north."
Ke Mengchao: "Let's talk about the future in the future. Let's do what we can do now. All of this is the first phase of the plan around cultivating the fields and making some preparations for the future. You must know that the Beisuo River is not there yet.
That's why we can buy this piece of land and then try to build that river."
Mo Shangtong: "According to calculations, a total of 260 kilometers of barbed wire is currently needed. The projects on the mountainous areas are more troublesome, so we can start with the work on the plains."
The barbed wire fence on the sand table has been marked to enclose the entire 300 square kilometers of land, and then enclose the nine fields separately. Some of them overlap, which can also save some engineering effort.
Hua Zhenxing suddenly discovered something again and reminded: "This will cut off the traffic between the north and the south."
Yang Tehong asked: "Is there anyone settling in the north?"
Hua Zhenxing: "No one has settled there yet. A few people will go there to graze during the dry season, but they won't stay there when the rainy season comes."
It was possible for them to buy such a large area precisely because the Bei Suo River does not exist now. During the dry season, it was a wasteland with no one cultivating or settling it, because everyone knew that the rising floods during the rainy season would submerge everything.
In the eyes of local people, that area is probably given away for free and no one wants it.
As for the future picture displayed on the sand table, it is only the result of supercomputer simulation. It requires a lot of investment to successfully transform it, and it is not yet certain whether it can be successful.
Hua Zhenxing pointed to another location and said, "I still have a question. At the end of the heavy rainy season and the beginning of the light rainy season, this is the migration route for those wild animals."
Yang Tehong: "What solution do you have?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I can only think of a stupid way now. When the animal migration wave comes, open a gap in the barbed wire fence on both sides and then seal it up. It's only twice a year, so it's not impossible."
Mo Shangtong: "A stupid solution is also a solution."
Hua Zhenxing: "I have another suggestion."
Ke Mengchao: "Don't say suggestions, just say ideas, your ideas."
Hua Zhenxing: "If famine is the immediate problem, then we will not consider the situation after transforming the Beisuo River for the time being. The 80,000 acres of farmland we just circled will not be submerged even when the flood is the largest, and it is also the last
Areas suitable for large-scale concentrated cultivation.
But after the heavy rainy season, the floods will recede and almost all places will be exposed. During the light rainy season, many places will not be flooded. This area is larger, at least hundreds of thousands of acres. According to the local habits, we can just sow seeds.
According to the climate here, it can be harvested in about half a year."
Just for 80,000 acres of farmland, they planned to buy 300 square kilometers of land. In fact, it was for future considerations. The large area in the upper valley was the planned reservoir, which was about 150 square kilometers. That place was not suitable.
Plant something, so don’t think about it yet.
However, after the flood recedes, there is still a large area that is free and will not be flooded during the light rainy season. Moreover, the soil has been silted by the floods over the years and is very fertile. Therefore, Huazhenxing recommends following the local customs and spreading the soil.
Seeds are harvested in the wild. Although the yield per mu is far less than that of artificial cultivation, it can still yield a large harvest.
Mo Shangtong asked back: "This is a good idea, it doesn't take much effort! Crops such as cassava and wing beans can definitely grow, but how do you plan to harvest them?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Hire local people to harvest. The artificial reclamation areas are all enclosed by barbed wire. As long as they don't enter the 80,000 acres of farmland, they can dig cassava, pick beans, and harvest peanuts in the wild areas. If it's true...
When there was a famine, it left a way for many people to survive."
Yang Tehong: "Oh, how can I leave a way to survive? Whoever digs it up can take it away?"
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "Of course you can't give it away for free. What you harvest belongs to us. We can pay according to the amount or convert it into other rewards."
Mo Shangtong nodded slightly: "This plan is very good, what other plans do you have?"
Hua Zhenxing frowned and thought: "It's not a plan, but there is still an important question. How to deal with the harvested cassava? Such a large output... requires a large processing plant."
Yang Tehong raised his thumb and said: "Not bad, really good, you have learned how to deduce!"
Hua Zhenxing: "What kind of deduction is this? Since we have planted so many cassava, we should have thought of it."
Yang Tehong: "What do you think? You can make various assumptions based on your knowledge about things that have not happened yet, and you can predict different results based on your assumptions. This is called deduction! You think this is normal, but there are many people here
I just can’t believe that not only do I not have this ability, I also don’t have this kind of consciousness at all, and I can’t even have such a dream.”
Cassava can grow on relatively barren and arid land. If the climate, irrigation, fertilization and other conditions are sufficient, the yield per mu can even reach more than 10,000 kilograms, and the normal yield per mu can also reach about two tons. The edible part of cassava is mainly the rhizome, but
It is not resistant to storage and will go bad within three days of being dug out in the climate of Port Fiso.
This thing cannot be eaten raw because it is toxic. The local people's processing method is to peel off the skin first, grind the white tubers and water to precipitate, and the dried or steamed cassava flour is the detoxified food. Its processing
The process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and manual processing at home will not yield much residual reserves.
For example, if a man goes to dig cassava in the field, and the housewife handles it after returning home, he can basically only get one or two days of cassava flour that is enough for the family. No matter how much he digs, it will be useless, because it will spoil if it cannot be processed. If
For large-scale planting, subsequent processing and storage issues must be considered.
Mo Shangtong pondered: "Of course we are going to open a processing plant, but you don't seem to have a good understanding of today's industrial level. With this scale of processing, it is not considered a large processing plant.
Harvesting can be carried out in stages and in batches. Anyway, this place can harvest all year round. Based on the current maximum estimated output, the annual processing capacity is enough to reach 500,000 tons, and the daily processing capacity is tentatively guaranteed to be 2,000 tons."
Hua Zhenxing: “Where did the machines and workers come from?”
Mo Shangtong smiled: "Workers can be trained, just choose among the straw shoe uppers. Machines, which sounds incredible here, are just a piece of cake for industrialized countries. An agricultural machinery institute in Dongguo has specially developed a cassava processing machine.
machine, as well as various supporting special food processing machines. I have already started small-scale trial production here.
Even if you plant cassava now, the first batch of harvest will have to wait until half a year before you can place an order. What needs to be prepared here are factories and storage warehouses, as well as a safe production environment. Therefore, in this half year, we need to clean up a piece of land in Fiso Port
'Clean' area, you know what I mean."
Yang Tehong waved his hand, and Hua Zhenxing sensed that a cabinet door opened in the kitchen, and something flew out. The door also opened automatically, and the object turned around in the air and flew into Old Man Yang's hand. It turned out to be a roll of noodles.
.Looking at the packaging, it is no different from the ordinary noodles produced in East China. It comes in a pound and is in the shape of a barrel.
Old Man Yang had shown off all kinds of unique skills in front of Hua Zhenxing, but this was the first time he used the 'magic skill' of retrieving objects from the air. He just wanted to get rolled noodles from the kitchen. Perhaps he was stimulated by Teacher Ding.
Seeing Hua Zhenxing in a daze, he handed the noodles over and said, "Look, what kind of raw materials are these made of?"
Hua Zhenxing tore a small opening in the wrapping paper, sniffed, and said with his spiritual consciousness: "The main material is tapioca flour, as well as some bean flour and other additives..."
Old Man Yang: "Our family has never eaten this kind of noodles before. This is what your uncle Mo just brought. Cassava can not only process noodles, but also make steamed buns, bread, and glutinous rice balls. Noodles are most suitable for long-term storage, as long as they are not
It can be left for two years as long as it doesn't get wet and worms don't grow. Have you ever tried pearl milk tea? The 'pearls' in it are made from tapioca flour."
Hua Zhenxing: "Pearl milk tea? I've heard of it, but I've never tasted it, and it's not sold in Fesoport."
Ke Mengchao: "This poor child."
Yang Tehong: "What's so pitiful about this? It doesn't taste good. I don't like drinking it anyway. Xiaohua, you can look up how pearl milk tea is made. Anyway, you have both tea and milk at home, so you can make it yourself."
, remember to make it delicious! Uncle Mo just brought a big bag of cassava flour, you can think about it again, what better snacks can you make with that stuff?"
Ke Mengchao: "Let's get down to business!"
Yang Tehong: "Then let me get down to business. In the name of the Big Head Gang, we will clean up a clean area and open a few more big stores. They can be chain stores. I have already thought of the names, Feisuogang Department Store, Feisuogang Department Store,
Suogang Grain and Oil, Fesuogang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Fesuogang Wujiaohua and so on.
As for the source of goods, on the one hand, it is imported from the East, and on the other hand, it is our own products. For example, cassava noodles are the main product of Fiso Port's grain and oil... Cassava flour is also an industrial raw material, and even cassava leaves can be silage and detoxified for use as feed.
."
Suddenly an idea flashed in Hua Zhenxing's mind, and he quickly interjected: "I have another idea! If these stores are really opened, we can issue shopping coupons with denominations. In the future, it is doubtful to employ local people to harvest crops in the fields.
Shopping vouchers are planted as payment, and after receiving them, they can go to the store to exchange for the items they need, such as cassava noodles."
Ke Mengchao couldn't help but reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, Lao Yang just praised you rightly. This is a deduction, involving the fields of circulation and finance. It not only organizes production, sales and distribution, but also issues agents."
Coin, you must have never seen shopping coupons, how could you think of this trick?"
What happened today? The three old men took turns to praise him. Hua Zhenxing was almost embarrassed by the praise. He lowered his head slightly and replied: "I haven't seen it, but I have heard of it."
Mo Shangtong also asked with great interest: "I've heard that it's a different story. What do you think?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Firstly, as the business expands, cash flow may be difficult. Secondly, according to what you just said, the currency of Kilili Country will almost certainly depreciate by then.
The more important consideration is that if you give money to those people directly, you are afraid that they will not buy the things they need, but will turn around and gamble and get addicted to drugs. Many people here are just happy with a little money, even if they don’t have money tomorrow.
Food, what else is missing at home?"
Ke Mengchao sighed: "The things you think you need are different from their ideas. Even if you pay with shopping vouchers, they can exchange them for things in the store, and they may sell those things later and exchange them for money to gamble.
."
Hua Zhenxing's expression dimmed: "We can only do this as much as possible. No one can save those who seek death."
Mo Shangtong asked: "Why would someone seek death?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I can't explain it in a few words. You must know better than me. All I can think of is to let those people develop a habit through personal experience, so you can't just give things for free. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to afford it, but it will be ruined."
Losing a group of people who originally still had hope."
