The Bleckon Tree Farm is not an economic forest, but is closer to a forest area that has been banned from logging due to natural forest protection projects.

The forest area is a place similar to Wales where the pillar industries have disappeared and the economy is relatively depressed. Although the state has invested huge sums of money in natural forest protection projects to promote the transformation of forest industry enterprises, it will take some time for the society to absorb these employees, but the administrative settings of forest areas cannot be directly integrated with the local government, resulting in a large number of surplus labor force that has not been converted. The main source of livelihood for these employees who are semi-unemployed due to the pain of reform is, in addition to social insurance, mountain and forestry contracting.

The purpose of the forest is not to cut down trees, but to collect by-products from the forest, such as pine nuts, walnuts, blueberries and cranberries, as well as fungus, especially cultivated in the forest, and some mushrooms for the human body.

Every year, the contracting of mountain forests may not always be very profitable.

Now "city people" like to pursue natural and pollution-free things, and put their eyes on the mountain goods produced in the forest area - these mountain goods, all need time to mature - in the deep mountains, the maturity period will be delayed longer, maybe before the mountain goods are ripe, it will enter the winter mountain closure period, this year can only accept fate, no harvest.

Lin Yilong can't engage in these side hustles, although there are many unemployed people in Wales, labor costs will not be reduced. According to Lin Yilong's "precise" calculations, if he decided to increase the number of people to collect wild berries in the bushes among the trees, for every tonne of blueberries or cranberries sold that were already sold at a low price in the market, he would deduct 25 pounds of net income from his asset income. That's why Lin Yilong has his eyes on high-priced things like saffron and truffles.

Since it is not possible to completely copy the management mode of forest industry enterprises, this management mode still has some reference significance for his forest farm management.

On Monday morning, he arrived in Yanjing on the plane that took off on Sunday afternoon, and without any interruption, he directly changed to another terminal and took another plane to the area where a former colleague who was a close friend of his personal friend during his internship in China was a prosecutor.

The courts of the forest district procuratorates have jurisdiction over many matters, and most of the cases handled are related to illegal logging and illegal hunting and killing of rare wild animals. Under normal circumstances, the work intensity of Lin Yilong's former colleagues is not very large, so it is convenient to create a lot of convenient conditions for Lin Yilong to arrange inspections and the like.

If he didn't have a classmate, he would have been able to get the same treatment as long as he let out the wind and throw a few thousand pounds into the Forestry Bureau's account and later plans as bait, but he wanted to see the current situation behind the superficial prosperity, and find a friend who sat in the agency to take him there to get more real information.

The employees of this forest industry company regarded Lin Yilong as a city man who was not familiar with the forest when he came to the forest area to play, and the rosin and fungus that abound in the city strongly did not recommend him to buy it, and introduced Lin Yilong to some economic products under the forest, such as pine nuts, perilla oil, or "forest chickens" raised in the forest.

Understory farming is a try at Bracken Tree Farm, but if Lin Yilong wants to do truffle farming, this farming is still not good - truffles are very easy to be eaten by free-range animals because of their unique aroma. In addition, even if he does not grow truffles, the foxes, tanuki and badgers that are frequented in Wales do not provide a relatively safe environment for free-range poultry. Combining these two risks, in addition to the mountain platform where the house is located can be used to raise cattle and geese, understory farming is still a bit unsuitable for Lin Yilong's forest farm.

"How the hell do you get these to protect the poultry? Lin Yilong asked one of the accompanying employees, "If I remember correctly, the primeval forest is full of fierce beasts such as bears and ocelots." ”

"There's no good way to do it, all the birds you see are living in specially carved out economic forests. "Wait a little while and you'll get to the primeval forest, where the chickens are kept next to the ranger's hut."

"This is not the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau on the southeast coast, where the ecological damage is much more serious than here, and the wildlife that threatens people is almost gone. ”

"In other words, the ecological farming methods I saw on the Internet ......," Lin Yilong asked.

"It's all publicity, and the chickens in our chicken farm here are also the 'local chickens' that are raised in the yard of the farmer's home. What is the right analogy – have you ever eaten wild boar, do you like it?", the forester asked.

"Of course I don't like it, the meat is too hard, and it's nowhere near as flavorful as domestic pigs. Lin Yilong replied that he had tried wild boar, which had been used as a forest hazard, but the taste was too fishy to like.

"If you've ever drunk the Wyvern soup, the Wyvern doesn't taste like meat, it's all advertised as a big supplement. ”

"I see. Lin Yilong made an expression of sudden realization, "Then if you take these mountain goods from our forest area, how much can you cost." ”

"In our forest area, outside merchants can't enter. Seeing that Lin Yilong's voice was speaking with a local accent, the employee said bluntly, "Look at the mountain goods in the forest area, some of them are listed in the list of provincial protected plants. ”

Lin Yilong nodded.

"For example, perilla oil, how much difference can the price on the market be between the ex-factory price in the forest area?" Lin Yilong asked seriously, "I know that perilla seeds may not be difficult, but it seems that even if it is retailed, the price difference between the same brand of perilla oil sold outside and online is nearly double." ”

"This is still the retail price for outsiders, in fact, the price of perilla seeds is not expensive, only a few cents, and the processing fee is about 15 yuan a catty. The forest employee knew that Lin Yilong was introduced by a prosecutor, just for fun, and would not leak secrets, so he directly put the real price of the forest area in front of Lin Yilong, "Therefore, the unpaid cost of a pound of perilla oil is about 20 yuan." ”

What a scissors gap between "free" consumers and producers.

"Even now, these things are still worth some money. Most of the wild mountain fungus and rosin you see in the city are raised in the economic forests just now, so they are not pure wild, and the food hygiene conditions are not as good as the professionally cultivated fungus. ”

After entering the forest area, several "officials" who were in the same car with Lin Yilong began to wear them, and Lin Yilong was also given a set of military coats so that he could continue to browse.

Even in the middle of summer, the temperature in the primeval forest is very low, and some parts of it is even below 10 degrees.
