The farm here in Portsmouth is actually quite chaotic, but it is autumn now, so there is not much to do, so Lin Quan began to renovate the place a little.

There is not a lot of land here, and the available arable land is not large, and it would be a fool's dream to expect this land to make money to support his family, so he is not too interested in cash crops.

Wheat is not planted, there is a large area of saline-alkali land, although it has been treated, but the effect does not seem to be particularly good, so at present, it takes workers and machinery to plant wheat, and it takes time to take care of and take care of it, which is quite more than worth the loss.

Food prices in the UK have been relatively stable, because there is more arable land, and about 18% of the country's available arable land area is about 18%, in addition, 77% of their country's land is agricultural and animal husbandry land, far more than China in terms of land availability.

It is only natural that a country with a flat terrain should have such an advantage.

However, the UK has a very small number of people working in agriculture, about 1-2%, and agriculture accounts for a small proportion of GDP, about 2%.

Compared with China, the UK's agriculture is relatively advanced, with a high degree of mechanization and a high degree of agricultural integration.

However, the price of food in Europe is not high, and wheat, for example, is the most grown crop, followed by corn.

The price of wheat in 2013 was only 128 euros a tonne, which is the case for the whole of Europe, and the UK has been a net importer of agriculture because it produces about two-thirds of the country's agricultural output.

In the UK, grain prices are slightly higher than in France and Germany, where the livestock sector is not as developed as in the UK.

According to the current market price, a ton of wheat is about 98 pounds, and when converted into RMB, it is about 1.2 yuan a kilogram, which is actually similar to that in China, or even cheaper, because the per capita cost is lower.

Therefore, the annual income of these more than 100 acres of land is almost negligible just by planting wheat.

Lin Quan doesn't expect it to make money, and of course he doesn't consider wheat as a cash crop.

He opted for a large-scale transformation of the farm.

The castle is not small in size and not bad, but it is surrounded by a circle of bare farmland, which looks quite idyllic, but if you live in it, it is not very good.

It is imperative to make the surrounding environment a little more livable.

According to Denise's due date, she will probably give birth at the end of April next year, and then summer will come, the summer in the south of England, it is still a little hot, and if it is bare everywhere, the whole castle will be completely exposed, and it will be scorched by the sun.

Considering that the two of them will be living here for a while, it would be nice to change the surroundings a little bit, remove the farm and turn it into something that goes with the castle.

"Boss, in our country, cultivated land is protected, can not be destroyed at will, and farmers can receive a subsidy every year according to the area of cultivated land and the number of supporting farm tools, the state for farmers and the country's pension policy, with the cultivated land to receive pension, if you change these cultivated land to other purposes, you need to deal with some procedures, pay a fine, and second, you will lose the above rights and interests, have you thought clearly?"

Because of the acquisition of the sabotage war in World War II, the British began to pay attention to agriculture after the war, especially in the seventies of the last century, the Cold War entered a peak period, in 1972 the United States and the Soviet fleet in the Mediterranean Sea confrontation, the Soviets against the United States aircraft carrier formation saturation attack battle plan was disclosed by intelligence personnel, the result caused tension around the world, the feeling of a world war is about to break out throughout Europe, so from 1973, Britain formulated more detailed and stricter laws to improve and protect their agriculture, so as to avoid the huge hidden dangers of food in wartime。

Compared with World War II and World War I, the Soviet submarines during the Cold War, especially nuclear submarines, were far more threatening than the German U-boats!

"That's your problem, I've left this matter to you, how to solve it yourself, you can do it yourself! What? Do I have to do everything myself? Then what's the use of me raising you?"

Lin Quan was very strong and unreasonable to push all this matter to Rong Ke, he really didn't have a good way to do it, mainly because he was completely unfamiliar with the relevant laws and regulations of the United Kingdom, and basically there were no network resources to mobilize in this regard, so at this time, it was not that he was quite a shopkeeper, but he could only be a shopkeeper!

"This ...... ...... owner"

Henry's face has changed, it takes time to find someone in this area, these are not problems, he used to do this job, so the previous connections can be mobilized, but to find someone to do things, it costs money, the key is money......

"If you want to use the money to go to the farm's account, go back and send me the financial statement!"

Lin Quan dropped a sentence and left, he was still thinking about how to further improve his plan!

Dig a pool here, the area is not too big, about half an acre of land is enough, 300 square meters of pond planted a little lotus, and then plant a few willows next to it, and then plant a circle of plants next to the castle, pine trees outside, osmanthus inside, camphor in the middle, so that the artificial forest is formed, which can effectively increase the green shade area, act as a small ecological cycle, and improve the climate around the castle.

Winter by the sea is not a pleasant environment, the cold sea breeze blows from the Atlantic Ocean with a salty smell of sea, and the clammy air is like an invisible mist, clinging to people's faces, making people unbearable.

"When I was a child, the deepest memory was winter, it was very cold, it was really not easy to get up from the warm bed, and I always had to struggle hard, so that I thought about it later and felt incredible. ”

Because he had spent several years in Africa before, and only returned to his hometown once during the Chinese New Year last year, Lin Quan was still relatively unfamiliar and uncomfortable with winter.

Winter in Britain feels completely different from the winter in Britain, one is dry and cold, the other is wet and cold, both are cold, but the latter is even more unbearable, and it seems that no matter how much clothes you wear, it is a little unbearable.

"Qiao'er called me a few days ago to complain, she said that the winter over there is also very uncomfortable, it seems that it is because it is relatively close to some lake, right?"

Denise's stomach is already very obvious, so she is careful with every movement, for fear of accidentally hurting the child.

Lin Quan looked at her belly and thought of a paragraph he saw on the Internet, a pregnant woman who was pregnant in October, when her abdomen was completely bulging, would she not be able to turn over if she was lying on the bed?

Of course, female friends don't find it funny.
