In the next few days, the news of the high-priced purchase of grasshoppers by various acquisition points of the Taishan Chamber of Commerce spread rapidly as word of mouth spread.

From one to the other, the number of people in locust-infested areas holding nets and silk bags to catch insects has almost skyrocketed!

Correspondingly, the number of locusts purchased at various sites has also ushered in an explosive growth.

On the third day of the notice, more than 100 stations purchased a total of 12 tons.

On the fourth day, it reached 27 tons.

By the fifth day, the number had skyrocketed to almost forty tons!

This number really scared Li Xian.

It's true that locusts are raging right now, but isn't that a bit exaggerated?

Looking at the report, this is like entering the Great Leap Forward period, and the newspaper put satellites!

You must know that there are about 10 million locust swarms in a moderately locust plague area.

When converted into weight, it is about 50 tons.

At present, data from the government through aerial helicopter testing shows that there are currently about 12 locust swarms that can be monitored in the province.

Then calculated, that is, the scale of about 600 tons.

If you continue to catch it like this, you won't be able to catch the grasshopper in less than ten days?

Exaggerated, right?

With this doubt, Li Xian personally went to the acquisition point to investigate.

Seeing this, I couldn't cry and laugh and sigh, sure enough, the people are too cunning!

Dare to love, the people have formed a set of primary but complete locust trading industry chain.

At present, there are three main groups of people engaged in this industrial chain: the first is the "official downfall", that is, the pest control team formed by various local governments.

This part of the people, after learning that the grasshoppers they killed by tons and tons a few days ago had such a great economic value, they immediately started to think. The locusts are collected on the spot and transported directly to their villages and towns, where they are blanched by women and the elderly, and then dried and delivered to the various collection points.

This kind of organization has a clear division of labor and is quite efficient, and it has contributed nearly half of the grasshopper purchase volume of the Taishan Chamber of Commerce in the past two days.

And because it is caught and processed on the spot, the quality of this part of the grasshopper is really good.

However, there are two other kinds of people.

The second is to catch grasshoppers by yourself. Most of these people are victims of the disaster, and the land in their homes has been eaten by grasshoppers. There is a deep hatred with the locust plague, and now the grasshoppers can be sold for money, and they all want to rely on this wave to make up for the loss of crops.

As for this part of the people, they basically follow the locust swarm, catching them wherever they go.

This brings a problem - they have no base, no capacity, no time, and no equipment for primary processing.

What's more, most of these people ride bicycles or simply chase grasshoppers on one leg. Such a low operational efficiency was not enough for them to send a sufficient number of grasshoppers to the purchase point every time they caught.

In the first two days, these people didn't catch a lot of insects. However, it is often on the way to the purchase point that grasshoppers are sent back and forth, not to mention that time is wasted back and forth, and a large number of grasshoppers die and deteriorate.

As a result, the pain points of this second type of people have given birth to a third group - middlemen.

Or rather, it's a second-way dealer.

This part of the people, identified the gap in the market, and immediately organized a transportation team of tricycles, four-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles.

Nor do they rob with those gathering armies, but directly play a sign in the locust area to buy grasshoppers on the spot.

Originally, those victims were not willing to travel long distances to deliver goods. Someone collects this on the spot and gives it the same or even slightly higher price than the acquisition point, which is naturally the boss's pleasure.

In this way, after collecting the grasshoppers from the victims, these second-party traders transport the grasshoppers back to their own sites, process them, and then deliver them to various sales outlets.

In this way, two yuan a kilogram of grasshoppers, plus two transportation, plus one primary processing, can be sold for five yuan as soon as it changes hands.

That's a profit of three dollars a kilogram!

Supposedly, that's nothing.

When Li Xian set the purchase price, he thought of this.

He is deliberately guiding more people to participate in the "business" of locust extermination.

But the second-class dealers have no discipline in order to make more money!

These guys, in order to earn more money, often blanch the grasshoppers and send them to the purchase point after they are dried slightly.

Some are even blanched and bagged directly.

That's a lot of weighting!

Knowing this situation, Li Xian had to tell the various acquisition points and let them strictly control the acceptance.

For grasshoppers at the primary processing level, the purchase standard has been raised from "defining and blanching" to "blanching and drying", and the drying standard is based on the grasshopper falling on the ground or being directly broken by hand.

In this way, on the sixth day, the total amount of purchases at each point has dropped somewhat, but it still reaches a staggering 35 tons!

You know, these 35 tons are after a piece of water has been pinched and dried!

If it is converted into a living adult, I am afraid it will not cost more than 50 tons.

After a few days of hard work, Li Xian's previous cold storage borrowed from Kong Action was not enough.

……

Liaocheng, kill Hutun Town.

Under the leadership of the leaders of the provincial party committee, the expert group of agriculture and pest control from Beijing hurriedly got out of the car.

The mighty group of people, the team can be said to be extremely powerful.

The leader is Mr. Sun Changxing, a distinguished expert of the Ministry of Agriculture and a well-known agricultural expert.

"Old Sun, I'm really sorry, I was tired all the way, and I couldn't let you rest when I got off the plane and ran over. ”

The members of the leadership team headed by Secretary Zu Qingsheng were responsible for the reception.

Zu Qingsheng's whole person has lost weight, and the work in the province this year is really not smooth. After a natural and man-made flood, he thought that with the strong support of social entrepreneurs, he would be able to recover the economy of the affected areas of the province as quickly as possible.

You must know that now the whole country is catching up with the economy and GDP, and from the current progress, Shandong Province has fallen behind.

But I didn't think about it, and the aftermath of the flood here has not yet been one, two, three, and the locust plague has started again.

After learning about the locust plague in detail, Zu Qingsheng asked the provincial team to organize a disaster relief stop loss, and he himself rushed directly to the capital to ask for help from the central government and relevant departments - the loss of a flood can barely be digested with the accumulation and social support of Shandong Province in the first half of the year.

However, with this locust plague, the province's agriculture is expected to lose and reduce production to 40%!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the two catastrophes were put together, and it was definitely impossible not to cry poor and beg for money with the central government.

After all, the local tax system has just been introduced, and since the year before, the financial power of the province has been taken away. Don't say if the landlord's family has a margin, now Zu Qingsheng feels that if he doesn't cry poor, he won't be able to live this day.

While crying poor, he didn't forget to ask for reinforcements. Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Agriculture, a group of China's most authoritative agricultural scholars followed him back to the province.

"It's okay," Sun Changxing waved his hand, "Secretary Zu, such a serious locust plague, not to mention rest, even if you don't eat or sleep, you should be divided." This locust plague is not like someone in a fire, it burns and washes out, and it disappears by itself. As long as this locust swarm has food and a suitable environment for reproduction, it will develop more and more! Now it is Shandong, if you can't control the locust plague in the province and go to other provinces, the losses will be incalculable!"

"Alas," Zu Qingsheng nodded deeply and made a gesture of please: "Old Sun, then I will trouble you." ”

"Okay, okay. ”

Sun Changxing didn't waste any more time, and directly waved his hand to the graduate students who accompanied him, "When I came, the comrades from the Department of Agriculture had already explained the situation clearly. At present, judging from the monitoring map, the locust-stricken area in Hutun Town is the most serious area. You do a unit soil analysis, and then you do a comprehensive disaster rating. Focus on the number of adults, the density of eggs in the neutral unit of soil. ”

"Okay Professor Sun!"

A group of graduate students were instructed to immediately take various instruments and rush to the locust swarm.

Sun Changxing and some other experts walked along the avenue with solemn expressions, observing the situation of the insect swarm.

A few people walked and discussed in a low voice.

When they reached a high slope, they were suddenly stunned.

Zu Qingsheng, who was walking behind, saw a few people stop and frowned, "Old Sun, what's wrong?"

"Secretary Zu, the scale of the local pest extermination team is not small!"

Following Sun Changxing's fingers, Zu Qingsheng looked into the distance and was stunned.

I saw that under the hillside in the distance, there were dense people.

Like ants that have exploded their nests, it makes people's scalps tingle at a glance!

He was running after the locusts in the sky with all kinds of things.

That posture is like having a grudge with grasshoppers for more than ten lifetimes!
