Chapter 41 The normal thinking of the landlord (this is what the head teacher asked to add)
After buying bows and arrows, Li Sheng and Chen Bo left the workshop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the afternoon, Chen Bo took Li Sheng to a farm on the outskirts of the city, which was actually a small hunting ground. There are some farmed wild boars and some hares and other animals for members to hunt. There are also dedicated practice venues.
The friend Chen Bo brought with him also brought a friend over, and the two sides met to talk about the road construction project of Silent Farm.
The other party is a middle-level cadre of a state-owned road and bridge construction company in China, and he can't call the shots, but he can report to the leader when he gets the information given by Li Sheng. Such a project worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars is enough to attract their leadership.
After staying for more than ten days, Li Sheng planned to return to Brazil after signing a preliminary agreement with the domestic road and bridge construction company.
The purpose of his coming here this time has basically been achieved. Chen Bo has agreed to cooperate with him. After the agreement was signed, the construction company would send someone to Silent Farm to conduct an on-site survey within a short period of time.
Chen Bo sent him to the airport, but he didn't find any large packages, so he asked, "Have you shipped all those bows and arrows?"
Those bows and arrows should have been delivered. But he didn't see Li Sheng consignment those things. Li Sheng didn't ask him to come forward to help transport those things out of the country before, so he couldn't help but ask more.
Of course, Li Sheng wouldn't tell her that he had it with him. Just vaguely saying that the stuff has already been shipped.
Chen Bo didn't have no doubts, but he asked him to get the certification of green agricultural products as soon as possible after returning to Brazil.
After a flight of 10,000 kilometers, Li Sheng's plane landed in Brasilia, but he did not linger long, continuing to arrive in Santarém and then returning to the farm on Babur's plane. As soon as he returned to the farm, he found that Thomas had already started logging with some workers.
They are only cutting trees to open the way, and they are only developing a passage about thirty meters wide. Sometimes, it's just a matter of cutting down one or two big trees and disposing of the smaller trees nearby. In fact, the most time-consuming thing is to clear those tree stumps.
He didn't expect Thomas to be so active, and he approached Thomas, who was directing the workers to cut down: "All is it okay?" These workers are not real lumberjacks, but farmers who are now idle for the time being.
"Huaxia people are very smart and work hard. They are already qualified lumberjacks. "It's clear that Thomas is very happy with the progress of the work.
Li Sheng saw that they had been cutting for six or seven days, but still only two or three kilometers, and said, "There are still not enough people." Do you have to hire some lumberjacks?"
"Anthony is already recruiting in Santarém. However, there has not been much repercussions yet. ”
Li Sheng nodded and said, "I have found a suitable construction company." They will enter the farm for geological exploration in a short period of time. Therefore, this channel has also been opened as soon as possible. ”
"Understood. Anthony also knows that this is the rainy season, and the working hours will be much shorter. If Silent Farm wants to start construction during the dry season, the only way to do that is to prepare it during the rainy season.
Thankfully, the month of the most rainy months has passed. They still have time to work.
"When there is a logging team, it is very simple to cut down 50 kilometers of passages as long as the construction starts in sections. ”
"Be safe. Li Sheng didn't want to hear about any casualties.
"Rest assured, safety is also my primary concern. Workers are also well aware that safety comes first. ”
Li Sheng said with satisfaction: "That's good." He paused, then added. "Honestly, what do you think of growing grapes in the rainforest?"
"If it's for food, it should be fine. If I make wine, I'm not good at winemaking. Thomas said, spreading his hands. Didn't we discuss it last time?
"Have you ever heard of anyone growing wine grapes in the rainforest?"
"It is said that there are people cultivating it in the southeast of the Brazilian highlands. But the rainforest hasn't heard of it yet. Thomas thought for a moment before replying. "There's a lot of rain here, so it should be okay to grow grapes, but it seems that wine grapes are better if there is less rain. ”
He's right, the world's most famous wine producing regions are produced in areas with less rain. Australia, Central Europe, and the western part of the United States. The rain is not abundant. But it's not all arid places, like France.
It's not that all grapes can't be grown in hot places, for example, Australia's temperatures are quite high. Perhaps the only concern is the rain.
He thought about it for a while, and decided to go to the space first, I don't know where there are grapes in the tropics, and if there are, there should be no problem transplanting them.
"By the way, is there any cocoa cultivation in Brazil?"
"Amazon is where cocoa comes from!" Thomas said with a laugh. "But there are more mountainous areas. ”
Li Sheng was ashamed of his stupid question.
He finds Anthony, who is touring the ranch with Chahi.
Anthony jumped out of the car: "Hey, Lee. Did everything go well on the trip to my hometown?"
"It's fine. The basic purpose has been achieved. Li Sheng picked up Chahi, who was standing in the car and stretched out his hand to him, out of the car before continuing to him. "Do you know how to apply for Brazil's green food qualification?"
"You know we weren't on farms before, so these things aren't clear. I'll inquire though. ”
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then you can inquire." If you can't be busy, you and Zhang Feng will do this together. ”
Anthony laughs, "I've been in charge of the logistics of the farm recently, and I don't have exactly what I am responsible for. I'll leave that to me. Tomorrow I will go to Belém. ”
Li Sheng didn't know the detailed process, but he also knew that if he wanted to pass the organic food certification of the importing country, he must first pass the organic certification of the producing country.
The international standard for organic food seems to be very simple, and the most basic requirement is the use of organic fertilizers and organic pesticides. Silent Farms use little to no chemical fertilizer or pesticides, which is certainly achievable. There are other requirements that need to be consulted before they can really be determined.
Speaking of which, he also needs to consider planting some organic green manure crops.
And the best raw material for organic green manure should be algae. However, Silent Farm is not close to the sea, and relying on seaweed is a bit impractical. But it is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is a lot of fresh water. It should also be a good choice if you grow large freshwater algae in these waters.
However, the small lake inside the farm is not necessarily suitable for growing those algae. This needs to be examined. But the oxbow lake should be usable, too.
The oxbow lake was tens of kilometers long, but not very wide, only twenty square kilometers at most. It seems like a bit of a waste to keep it there all the time.
He thought of the woodland that had been soaked by the river. After he drained the silt, the water was very deep, and it would be flooded in the dry season. There should be no problem with growing that kind of algae. Of course, the area there is not very large. But there are hundreds of square kilometers. And that algae grows fast enough. It should be able to produce enough green manure.
In addition, the cattle can't eat all the grass in the pasture, so you can also harvest some grass and make green manure with those algae.
There is only one question left here. That's the problem of those algae blooms, which needs to be thought through. It would be a sin to plunge the entire Amazon into an ecological catastrophe by introducing an alien plant.
He needs to take a closer look. However, the Amazon River claims to have 2,500 known species of fish, and there are many herbivorous animals, so it is not a big problem. There are also many of these algae on the edge of the lake in the space, but they never overflow because many fish feed on them.
If that algae does spread in the Amazon, then maybe it will be enough to get rid of it with the release of some fish that feed on this algae.
Speaking of which, it seems that the lake on the farm can also raise some of that kind of fish, and some algae can be planted on it, and if the algae multiply faster, you can also harvest some green manure.
It's just that the agricultural workers need to be more busy to get over.
Li Sheng thought about this matter and found that it really affected the whole body. If you want to add a project through space, you have to think about the whole system. It's a lot of brains.
However, Chen Bo is right, Silent Farm is so big, if the product is relatively simple, it is really a loss.
…………
Anthony went to Belém, and Babur went to pick up the workers who were willing to come to the farm to cut down a few trees. The task of taking care of Chahi fell to the idle Li Sheng.
Li Sheng: This will really live up to the word "idle". The main production tasks on the farm are managed by Zhang Feng. Babur is in charge of security, Anthony is in charge of logistics and externals, and Thomas is in charge of the environment and bush. As the boss, Li Sheng doesn't seem to have to worry about anything.
It has to be said that he found a good manager. Zhang Feng is the most inseparable person on the farm now. The main production activities of the farm are the cultivation of rice and the grazing of cattle, in addition to the breeding of small fragrant pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, and recently the farm has also introduced some ordinary pig breeding. But perhaps because the scale of these breeding is not very large, Zhang Feng can still manage it.
As for aquaculture in small lakes, there is little need for human management. You don't have to feed or manage.
There has been a lot of rain lately, and driving around the ranch is not a good idea. Not to mention the rest, the wheels are half a foot deep rut, which is very serious damage to the grassland.
So Li Sheng was roaming the pasture on horseback this time. But Chahi relied on him. I had to follow him. He had no choice but to carry the little girl to the horse.
The route he wandered along the riverbank, but he didn't really play. It's looking at where the algae can be used to grow them. However, he was disappointed to find that it was not feasible to grow algae in these waterways. Because these rivers don't belong to the Silent Farm,
He's now focused on the species in space. In fact, there are many things in the space that can be taken out. For example, in such a large jungle, there is no problem with raising bees. And after a little while, the pasture will start to bloom. And the flowering period is almost never broken.
