It's cool to have a big guy behind you!

When the cooperation between Jiagu and the Far East rose to the level of cooperation between the two countries, the pressure that Qi Zheng felt in the Far East suddenly dissipated.

Of course, this is also the reason why the head of the Far Eastern Development Department, Trutnev, has already taken his attention away from Kaya.

Because the conclusion that "Russia will suffer economic sanctions due to the situation in the West" conveyed by Qi Zheng is reasonable and well-founded - Qi Zheng is a standard afterthought strategy. Push back to the front, know that the West wants to sanction Russia, find the reason, know that Russia wants to counter-sanction, find arguments...... However, Trutnev believes that the Chinese government is reminding the Russian Federation under the pretext of Qi Zheng.

Trutnev even flew to Moscow for this purpose, and after some consultations, he tentatively decided on the intention of strengthening cooperation with China in the Far East.

As soon as the atmosphere eased, Vasily, the representative of Jiagu's partner in the Far East, came to the door and sold it: "...... As a result of our efforts, if the projects of Kaya in the Far East require the construction of special transport or other infrastructure, the Ministry for the Development of the Far East will study the plan for the construction of the corresponding infrastructure at the expense of the state, provided that it does not violate the legislation of the Russian Federation......"

"That's great!" Qi Zheng said with a smile, but he cursed secretly in his heart: Old fox!

Qi Zheng doesn't know how Vasily and Trutnev "split the spoils" for the time being, but in the process of negotiations between Trutnev and Qi Zheng, Vasily and they were more of a cold bystander.

If Kagu can give up certain benefits and make Trutnev feel satisfied, the price paid by Vasily and them will be correspondingly smaller, and for the Russian side, it will be a matter of everyone's satisfaction.

It would be even more beautiful if Trutnev could completely seize control of the soybean industry in the Far East. As long as they don't collapse, the interests of these "local snakes" are indispensable.

However, since Jiagu resisted the pressure exerted by Trutnev, Vasily naturally did not want to break the subtle "trust" between the two sides, so they had to do something.

The construction of transportation and other infrastructure was envisioned by Qi Zheng, and it should be funded by the Russian federal government. To be honest, if it weren't for the soybean industry developed by Jiagu in the Far East, Lao Maozi might not have made up his mind to build roads.

- Building a road, but not knowing how much traffic the road will be is a big risk, because the benefits may not be as good as one-tenth of the investment.

However, the soybean industry in Jiagu provides a lot of traffic guarantees, at least, the Russian Federation's transportation investment has reduced the risk.

In other words, Vasily was using a "fight" that was not costly in exchange for the favor of Kagu.

Vasily quickly glanced at Qi Zheng, probably seeing Qi Zheng's noncommittal, paused, and released a big move: "In addition, I also won 50% of the right to operate a grain terminal in Vladivostok for Jiagu......"

Qi Zheng's eyes lit up.

The port of Vladivostok is home to the largest agricultural terminal in the Russian Far East, from which about 40% of the soybeans are shipped to China. As the largest grain merchant in the Russian Far East, Jiagu has always hoped to have a grain terminal, even if it has a partial stake. It's just that Vasily and they have not been able to work hard, and Jiagu has not been able to dredge up the relationship for a while.

"How big is the grain wharf?" Qi Zheng asked with squinted eyes.

"It is the largest grain terminal in the commercial port of Traqua Port, which can dock 60,000-ton cargo ships to load goods, and it is not only a cargo terminal, but also more than a dozen warehouses for storing grain, the largest one can hold 200,000 tons of soybeans, and they are all prepared for soybean export......s."

When Qi Zheng heard this, the smile on his face became a little sincere: "Thank you so much for your contribution." ”

Qi Zheng already knew that the Russian Ministry for the Development of the Far East had already started consultations with the Ministry of Commerce of the country, and the two sides agreed that expanding the export of agricultural raw materials, products, and grain from the Far East to China, as well as enriching the export of deep-processed agricultural products to China, were the priority directions of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in the Far East.

It can be seen that in order to let the banner of Jiagu continue to fly in the Far East, the Russian side has really put a certain amount of effort into it.

Qi Zheng was satisfied, and Vasily immediately hit the snake: "However, the Ministry of Far Eastern Development has also put forward certain requirements for Jiagu, hoping that Jiagu can introduce more advanced agricultural production technology...... That's what we're asking for. ”

Qi Zheng naturally knows that the so-called "advanced agricultural production technology" is more about Jiagu's soybean breeding technology. It's just that this is also something that Jiagu refuses to let go easily.

He pretended to think for a while before he spoke: "In this way, we in Jiagu will promote the 'no-tillage' method in the Far East to help increase soybean yields." ”

"No-till?"

"Yes!"

......

Qi Zheng took Vasily to the Jiagu Farm, the earliest development in the Amur Region, and when he pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, he saw a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground, all of which were left over from the previous crops, and most of the leaves had begun to rot.

Underneath the rotten leaves is black soil, because the leaves block the sunlight and reduce the evaporation of water, so the soil is wet, and you can squeeze out the water when you hold it in the palm of your hand.

"No-till is an emerging method of water-retaining tillage that forms its own system with 'minimal tillage-humus cover'. 'Minimal tillage' means that tillage should be reduced as much as possible so as not to disturb the soil, causing water exposure and evaporation. 'Humus mulching' means that crop residues and straw are kept on the surface and left to decay through no-tillage, and after years of accumulation, a humus layer is formed to cover the surface. Qi Zheng pointed to the farm and said, "Many farms in Europe and the United States have adopted no-till 20 years ago, and the soil fertility is maintained very well, which is one of the main reasons why their yields are higher than those of other countries." ”

Qi Zheng was purely bullying Vasily and knew nothing about agriculture.

In Russia, for example, in the former Soviet Union, some collective farms experimented with "no-tillage" and achieved good economic benefits.

However, with the collapse of the collective farming system, Russia's "no-till" experiment has also been blown away. Today's Russia, especially the soybean planting model, is basically the same as China's northeast, which adopts the traditional practice of "plowing the land in autumn and ridge in spring".

But Qi Zheng doesn't need to explain so much, he just needs to let Vasily know that "no-till" is an international advanced agricultural production technology: "You may not know that in the United States and South America, the two major weapons for high soybean yields are no-till and genetically modified soybean ......"

As soon as he said this, Vasily became interested.

Soybean exports have become a mainstay of his income, and he knows that the United States, Brazil and Argentina are the main competitors for soybean exports from the Russian Far East. In terms of production costs, the Far East is higher than the world's top three soybean producers.

Russia's resource extraction, including oil, is mostly costly because of geography, which cuts their earnings, so Lao Maozi is not stingy with a smile on any technology that can reduce costs.

"Wait, our kind of soybean is not genetically modified, no-till can also be used?" Vasily thought of the difference.

Qi Zheng smiled understandingly, and said, "You're right, normally speaking, no-tillage + genetically modified soybeans are a perfect match." ”

No-tillage consists of four key technologies – no-tillage seeding, straw residue treatment, subsoiling, and weed control. The first three are agricultural machinery that requires a lot of power, which is also a major shackle why it is difficult to promote no-tillage in China.

"Another problem of no-tillage is weed breeding, and the United States is due to the cultivation of glyphosate-resistant genetically modified soybeans that are resistant to all poisons, so that the problem of weeding under no-tillage conditions has been fundamentally solved, and the advantages of no-till have been maximized. Qi Zheng shrugged, "Unfortunately, neither in our country nor in the Far East is allowed to grow genetically modified soybeans." ”

"Then you ......," Vasily pointed to the soybean field.

Qi Zheng smiled: "This is our Jiagu's plan!"

Qi Zheng once heard a sentence and particularly praised it: the simpler the farming method, the higher the scientific and technological content.

You see, it is a no-tillage method of "lazy man farming" that does not plough the ground after the autumn harvest and does not plow the land before spring ploughing, and how many advanced agricultural achievements are applied?

For Jiagu, mechanization is not an issue, the key to the success or failure of no-till is weeds.

The simplest plan summed up by Jiagu is to use 30 3-inch grass carp fry on 1 mu of land to eat all the weeds - grass carp is cleaner than any chemical herbicide. Because it wants to eat grass, it looks for grass all over the field to eat, and there is not a single one left to eat.

However, in dry farming, with the assistance of Qi Zhengyong's spirit array, Jiagu Laboratory successfully found the weakness of weeds through several years of research.

- The competition for survival between weeds is very fierce, generally the community is dominated by competing with each other for territory, and other weeds are not allowed to survive in the community. But when the competition is fierce, they will automatically plant seedlings, and some of the weak seedlings will die automatically, making room for survival to preserve the group.

Jiagu laboratory has exploited this loophole to make soybean a "dominant weed", with its ability to grow fast, to achieve "grass" weeding; and then through the spring weed seedlings are just born, with organic matter such as straw and other auxiliary means, after a period of time the weed seedlings will die, can achieve the effect of the herbicide glyphosate ninety percent.

Of course, it is easy to say, but there is a whole set of strict technical requirements to do. Only soybean dominant varieties are not easy to cultivate, and for different weeds, covering and killing at different time periods, we also need to have sufficient research on weeds.

Therefore, after listening to this, Vasily did not have the slightest idea of stealing the teacher, waved his hand and said: "Then promote it and try it, as long as it is conducive to the increase in production, everything is easy to say." ”

"You won't be disappointed. Qi Zheng smiled calmly: "I want to go back to China to arrange manpower, here in the Far East, I hope you will bother more." ”

"No problem. "In the case of seeing the benefits, Lao Maozi is still very happy.
