Amur Region, in the Jaya-Brea Plain, a giant farm developed in the Gagu. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net

With a cold breeze, on the black earth, the endless soybean fields are long-range, but there is not a single farmer working in sight.

There are only rows of agricultural machinery, arranged in a stepped pattern, to turn the soil deeply, and then level it, and to sort out the residues of previous crops, weeds and large stones in the field to avoid the presence of germs that harm the growth of soybeans.

Qi Zheng accompanied Vasily to the field to inspect the busy field operations.

"What a great mechanical operation!" Vasily said with emotion, looking at the rows of agricultural machinery ploughing in the distance.

Qi Zheng nodded: "Large-scale mechanization with field operations does have a heroic beauty. ”

Vasily took a deep breath of air with the smell of turned earth, turned his head and asked, "After turning the soil, you are sowing seeds, right?"

"Yes, also with mechanized seeding, the planter arranges the soybean seeds into long rows of separated seeds, and plants the seeds in the ground at precise distances. It can not only reasonably control the sowing amount of soybean, but also carry out scientific layout in space to ensure the germination rate and growth state of soybean seeds. ”

Vasily nodded as he listened, and continued to ask: "Do you need to fertilize when sowing?"

When Qi Zheng heard this, his heart brightened, and he knew the main purpose of Vasily's coming, but he still pretended not to know and said: "Our soybean cultivation in Jiagu is needed, and this is called seed fertilizer. The main fertilizer is applied with the seeds at the time of sowing, in order to provide sufficient nutrients for the germination of the seeds, so that the seedlings can emerge smoothly and safely. Fertilizer is applied first, covered with a layer of fine soil, and then sown. ”

Vasily seemed to listen very carefully, and after Qi Zheng finished speaking, he said: "So that's the case, I only know that after soybean planting, we must do a good job of topdressing to ensure that the growth of soybeans has sufficient nutrients and prevent insufficient soil fertility from reducing yields." ”

Qi Zheng smiled and followed his words and said, "You're right, top dressing is also very important. ”

Vasily then asked, "But I was surprised to see that the amount of fertilizer reported by Kagu was far lower than that of Marubeni Trading Company in terms of unit area. ”

Qi Zheng said "hehe" in his heart, sure enough, Vasily came for the fertilizer problem.

In the cooperation between Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company and Vasily, seeds, agricultural machinery, and even labor could be imported according to the requirements of Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company, but when it came to fertilizers, Vasily insisted on using products produced in Russia.

The Soviet Union had the world's most powerful chemical industry, which is now Russia, and the chemical industry is also very powerful - fertilizer is one of the main chemical products.

Most of Russia's chemical factories are in Eastern Europe, and fertilizers are not only exported to Eastern European countries such as Ukraine and Poland, but also to first-tier powers such as Germany and France.

Of course, Vasily did not insist on using domestic fertilizers because of patriotism, but mainly because of interests.

Because most of Russia's domestic production capacity is in the European zone, fertilizers from the Far East and other places are also shipped from there. That's not the point, the point is that the price of fertilizers in Russia is extremely expensive.

Russian fertilizers are exported to Ukraine for about 500 rubles a bag, while domestic sales are 800 rubles a bag, mainly because of taxes.

Russia is known as a country of heavy taxes, especially for the chemical industry. The proportion of federal tax revenue is relatively low, and the proportion of local retention tax is simply arbitrary - if you are tight, you will increase taxes, and when you are in a good mood, you will collect less taxes.

In addition, fertilizer sales are monopolistic in nature. That is to say, in each of the following states and regions, the local tyrants control the sale of fertilizers. Even if the federal tax cut, they still sell so much money that the tax should be picked up for nothing. Prices naturally remain high.

The gang behind Vasily, which has a monopoly on the sale of fertilizers in the Far East, certainly does not agree with the import of fertilizers to impact their business.

But Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company are not stupid. The input of chemical fertilizer is counted in their investment, the key is that the price is so high, Vasily made a fortune on it, and eventually took the lion's share of the agricultural harvest, so didn't Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company work for Vasily for nothing?

Both resolutely disagreed at first, but Vasily stubbornly refused to back down at all, and the talks almost collapsed.

In the end, some concessions were made: Kaya and Marubeni could use Russian fertilizers, and Vasily sold them to two companies at a price 10 percent below the market price, and at the same time reduced the state agricultural tax on their farms.

Domestically, the agricultural tax is already being abolished, but in Russia it is still firmly in place, and the tax is heavier.

In the Far East, local officials can levy about 30 percent at the most vicious time. In other words, if you earn 10,000 rubles from farming, then you will have to pay 3,000 rubles for the part reserved by the local government, plus federal taxes, etc., which can roughly go to about 50%.

Doing business in Russia, trampling on its tax laws is an essential means of survival, and if you want to do any business legally, sorry, you may be working for the Federation.

Vasily promised to reduce state taxes for the farm, and Kaya and Marubeni finally agreed with Vasily after weighing it twice.

Fertilizer and other agricultural materials in Russia are supplied in a planned manner, and they need to report their plans a quarter in advance, so Kaya and Marubeni Trading Company naturally had to estimate the fertilizer demand in advance and report it to Vasily.

Obviously, the number of reports submitted by Jiagu was far lower than Vasily's estimate, so much so that he couldn't help but run over to ask Qi Zheng in person.

Faced with Vasily's question, Qi Zheng smiled faintly: "Although soybean is a fertilizer-loving crop, in the process of its growth, we still need to control the amount of fertilizer and use fertilizer scientifically. And we have unique skills in scientific fertilization, which can ensure soybean yield while reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer. ”

Vasily looked suspicious: "You really don't want to save costs?"

Qi Zheng smiled: "How can it be? Agricultural production ultimately depends on output, and in order to save a little cost and ignore the reduction of output, isn't it a waste of money? How can we be so stupid?"

"We just adhere to the concept of green production, use the most modern technology, and cherish the land more. ”

Vasily looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Qi Zheng, and still felt that something was wrong, but when it came to this, he couldn't do anything.

Jiagu guarantees that the yield will not fall, and by reducing the amount of fertilizer to protect the environment, everyone will praise him, and he can still force Jiagu to apply more fertilizer?

After seeing the suspicious Vasily leave, Qi Zheng stepped into the farm, smiled, squatted down, touched the ground with his palm, and the spirit array operated.

"Jiukun Liuhe Array (Third Order) trigger, main earth system, range: 250 kilometers radius. Effect: Solid soil, fertile ground. It can make the earth solid and fertile. ”

"Green Bamboo Hundred Array (Third Order) trigger, main wood system, range: 250 kilometers radius. Effect: Moisturizes, grows. The creature is in the array, as if it was newborn, raising purple flowers, and growing vigorously. ”

Some time ago, Qi Zheng finally made a breakthrough again and was able to arrange a third-order spirit array.

The third-order spirit array, covering a radius of 250 kilometers, is simply a tiger with wings for Jiagu's agricultural development in the Far East.

The "Green Bamboo Lark Array" is still mainly to increase production and improve quality, but the effect is more obvious.

And the third-order "Nine Kun Liuhe Array" has an extraordinary effect.

When it runs outward, it can plunder soil nutrients within a radius of several hundred kilometers into the array, resulting in the transfer of fertile soil layers. And most importantly, it can target an element.

For example, in soybean planting, nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer in the early stage, supplemented by phosphorus fertilizer, because nitrogen fertilizer can promote plant growth, early flowering and poding, and phosphate fertilizer can improve plant disease resistance and reduce the incidence - at this time, Qi Zheng can control the third-order "Jiukun Liuhe Array" to accumulate more nitrogen elements.

When it comes to the podding stage, it is necessary to focus on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and apply less nitrogen fertilizer, because at this time, the plant has completed development, and the demand for nitrogen fertilizer is not large, and the podding has a greater demand for phosphorus and potassium fertilizer - at this time, you can accumulate more potassium.

Qi Zheng stood up, felt the operation of the spirit array, looked at the north of the Far East, and smiled proudly.

In the Far East, from north to south, tundra, forests, and forest-steppe landscapes are distributed in parallel, and subarctic coniferous forests are widely distributed. Due to the harsh climate in these areas, large amounts of land are not suitable for agricultural production.

For thousands of years, these places are densely forested, the soil is suitable for the forest, the humus content is high, relatively fertile, and affected by the cold zone, the subarctic continental climate, the temperature is low, resulting in less water evaporation, so the accumulation is more, and a lot of swamps are formed.

The "Jiukun Liuhe Array" opened up the plundering mode and "transferred" this fertile and difficult land resource to the territory of Jiagu, which simply benefited Russia.

With the replenishment of the resources of the cold zone in the Far Northeast, chemical fertilizer is dispensable, if it is not for the sake of hiding people's eyes, it is simply redundant - the "Jiukun Liuhe Array" exists for a day, and the land in the array is more and more fertile.

The cost of investment in Jiagu has plummeted, and soybean products are to be sold back to China, which is equivalent to transferring the resources of the Far Northeast cold zone back to China, and Vasily's part of the income is regarded as a tip to Russia - after all, you can't be too stingy.

Qi Zheng felt that he was really a good person.
