Chapter 235: Guarding the land, there is nothing to be done
Zhang Zehong chose Vasily, the son of the head of the Russian Far Eastern Federal District, as his collaborator because he was a good enough person to be the local protector of Jiagu's development in the Far East. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net
This is an outright profiteer, as long as there are enough benefits, let alone leasing some land, even if it is a traitor, Qi Zheng estimates that he will agree without blinking.
Rao is like this, when he showed a map of cultivated land in the Far East to Qi Zheng and arrogantly said that the land was left to choose, Qi Zheng was still speechless by this operation of "map opening up the territory".
Of course, the quality of a piece of cultivated land is not something that can be seen from a map. Qi Zheng could only select a few high-quality areas from the map first, and then go with Zhang Zehong to investigate.
The land composition, climatic conditions, and geographical environment of the Russian Far Southeast are very similar to those of the northeast of China, and they are most suitable for growing soybeans, wheat and potatoes.
This was the first time that Qi Zheng went deep into the grassroots level of the Russian Far East, and it gave him a completely different impression from the previous Russia.
In the past, I felt that although Russia was down, after all, the foundation was still there, and it always maintained a basic face.
But when Qi Zheng walked out of the beautiful city, he found that the real Russian Far East was a hundred times more tragic than what he knew through the dry words on the materials.
The biggest impression is that the gap between the rich and the poor is so huge that it is mad.
In fact, if Qi Zheng wants to say, the whole world is like a bird, those who are rich are not good, and those who are not rich are poor.
He has traveled so many places, and to be honest, he still feels that the places where the country is strong are relatively better, and there is a bottom line for everything. And if the country is weak, then the bottom line does not exist.
For example, in the United States, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, but it is not to the point that there is no food even when you dig through the trash can, at least you can still survive.
And like my country, no matter how difficult it is, at least the common people can still eat a bite to eat, have a job, even if this job is to wash dishes, they can support their families, and there is social security, which is simply a model of a strong country.
In the Far East, Qi Zheng went to Vladivostok and Chita, close to China, and the beautiful cities were filled with merchants, employees of large enterprises, government officials, military personnel, and their families, as well as servants who served them.
At the same time, Qi Zheng noticed a detail, the garbage cans in the city were cleaner than Lao Maozi's face.
Do you think it's a good sanitation?
Not really. According to Zhang Zehong, this is the credit of those ordinary hairmen who can't live at the bottom.
In a country, there are people who are so poor that they don't even have garbage left, how strong is it, huh......
In stark contrast, the upper class of the Far East drove typical off-road brands such as Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover in the streets and alleys.
The rich are poor and luxurious to the extreme, and the ordinary old hairy people in those settlements around the city only have the word "boil".
......
In the vicinity of Chita, Qi Zheng inspected a piece of cultivated land marked on the map given by Vasily, about 100,000 hectares, with good irrigation facilities and the ability to cultivate with large machinery.
Zhang Zehong said that this is a typical piece of land that has been annexed, and that there are more old Maozi farmers who guard farmland that has no drainage and irrigation system in the summer.
Because their original land was mortgaged - this is how the large-scale farm in front of Qi Zheng is formed.
Of course, there is no shortage of land in the Far East. However, the self-developed wasteland, because of the serious waterlogging, the yield is simply miserable.
How low is the yield? Similarly, in the northeastern region, the yield per mu of cultivated land by the Chinese people can reach three to four times the yield of the Lao Maozi peasants.
Most of the merchants who went to the Russian Far East saw this, and they came to the conclusion that Lao Maozi was lazy.
And after Qi Zheng got in close contact with them, he found that this was really not a lazy pot.
In addition to the reason for the wasteland, ordinary old Maozi grows grain and uses more manpower for farming - because the machinery and equipment left over from the Soviet era are no longer usable, and they cannot afford the ones made in Russia today.
So they can only use livestock, Zhang Zehong said, last year, he often saw Lao Maozi using Russian horses to pull barren land, and also used horse-drawn carts to transport fallen leaves to the woods to fertilize.
In addition, seeing that the time of spring in the Far East is coming, it is time to grow food.
But the few old Maozi farmers visited by Qi Zheng couldn't even afford to buy grain seeds, but chose to use their own grain as seeds - this is simply unimaginable in China!
That's not all, according to them, when the crops first appeared, the farmers who were farming in the opposite province had already started spraying pesticides, but they were working harder because they used the primitive method of burning grass and ashes to fight insects.
Qi Zheng "......"
Who would have imagined that the bottom of the "strong" Russia, where such a group of peasants who are close to primitive, live.
Qi Zheng asked them, "Why don't you sell grain in a good year and then buy pesticides and seeds?"
Lao Maozi replied, "There are many children, and a large family has to eat, dress, and everything has to be cost...... Seriously, there are no good years......"
Therefore, whether to live in the present or change the future, the choice of the old Maozi is the former, and the result is that every year is to survive winter and spring!
Zhang Zehong said that there is a problem that should be paid attention to in agriculture in the Far East, and many old Maozi will quietly steal corn and potatoes in the middle of the night in the fields planted by Chinese people, just to survive.
"Why don't you cut wood? So many people are cutting ......."
Zhang Zehong said "heh", "Because the capital forces simply do not allow ordinary old Maozi to get involved in all this." Timber is an important resource in the Far East, and every mountain farm in the Far East has a master. It may have been contracted by a wealthy local person, or it could have been contracted by the government to a related household, such as Vasily and others. ”
"Do you think that Vasily is only merging land for lease for profit? This is only a small part of his business, Vasily does not represent him alone or a family, you can see him as the biggest spokesman for the interests of the political circles of the Far East, timber, oil, fishing...... It can be said that the greatest resources of the Far East are in their circle. ”
"The Russian Far East is not the Russian Far East. Now the Far East is the world of capital. The old Maozi in Chita City and the old Maozi in Hailan have forgotten what life these compatriots live in the suburbs. In this society, even the most basic sympathy is missing. Zhang Zehong's words were as sharp as a knife, but he maintained his calmness without changing his face.
"Besides, there is no such rotten situation, what are we doing here?"
In the cold voice, there were a few ten-year-old Maozi uncles in the distance, sitting on the side of the road with wine bottles in their hands, drunk, and singing loudly the songs of the Soviet era, which was the familiar melody - "The Internationale".
They sang and cried, cried and cried and began to laugh again.
Qi Zheng looked at it from afar, and he was thinking, their inner activities should be very, very complicated - guarding the vast land, but there is nothing they can do.
But who cares about all this?
In the Far East, the poor survive your winter and spring, the rich drive his Mercedes Benz, and the powerful are looting the land.
Zhang Zehong is right, such a Far East is more conducive to the development of Jiagu - just land annexation, I don't know how much trouble will be saved.
The world of capital is actually very talkative, you can guarantee their interests, you are God, and Jiagu has such capital.
Sympathy is enough for a moment, the Russian Far East seen by ordinary people, and the Far East seen by the profiteers of Qi Zheng...... It's a different world entirely.
