Volume 1 Chapter 11 The Real Landlord

After three months of high-intensity training, the three teachers felt that there was nothing to teach Li Sheng, the boss student. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

During this time, they were also building several larger huts near the existing wooden house complex. The previous wooden houses were relatively simple, mainly for the lumberjacks, and several of them lived in the same place as the original management. But even those wooden houses have a lot of gaps. At night, there are lights inside, and mosquitoes and insects come in and out of these gaps, which is very annoying.

The other thing is that the wooden houses are made of logs, but the logs are sawn in half and put together like that. The appearance is not good-looking.

It was a forest farm before, and none of this was very important. But now it's been converted into a ranch. Then you have to build some houses that look at least passable. Moreover, Li Sheng wants to enjoy life, not to let mosquitoes enjoy his life.

The main reason why Li Sheng still plans to build wooden houses is, of course, that cement and masonry are scarce, and if he wants to obtain large quantities of building materials, he must transport them from the nearby major city of SantarΓ©m or other large cities via the Amazon River.

And wood is different, there are a lot of them here. In particular, a lot of wood is not very expensive. But that kind of wood is enough for them. Building a house out of such wood is no worse than a brick house. The only drawback is that the fire performance is relatively poor.

Of course, building a wooden house is not something that the four of them can accomplish. The wooden house that Li Sheng wants to build is a large wooden house covering an area of more than 300 square meters, the floor is also more than one meter above the ground, and the bottom is supported by wooden piles and beams, and the house is no longer as rough as the current residence, all cut into ten centimeters thick wooden squares, and then the two layers are joined together in a cross shape. The top three floors also have a large garden. It looks like a mansion.

Of course, such a house cannot be built by just a few of them. The builders were invited from Γ“bidos, across the river, and wood was already available.

In addition to Li Sheng's mansion, Li Sheng also built independent wooden houses for Anthony and several of them, of course, their wooden houses are about 100 square meters, all of which are two-storey.

In addition, there are a number of wooden houses for the possible increase of workers in the future. These wooden houses are two-storey, connected together, surrounded by a courtyard, and can provide a total of fifty single dormitories, and if you squeeze them, they can even accommodate two hundred temporary workers. The wooden houses were used as tool rooms.

The adjacent wooden houses have boardwalks and wooden eaves.

After sending off the construction workers, the farm was quiet again. The four of them celebrated that they had all moved into their new home and got together for a barbecue again.

When we drink together, it's always Thomas who talks the most. However, his words were not drunken nonsense, and he spoke to Li Sheng in Brazilian Portuguese.

This will also make it clear to Li Sheng that if he only understands English, he will not be able to talk to Brazilians at all. He needed to learn Portuguese, and inside the farm, they also talked roughly in Portuguese, which was kind of a conversation practice.

Thomas is worried that Li Sheng has not moved since he bought the farm: "Li, we haven't had a specific job for months. That's not normal, it's really not normal. You know, I don't want to lose this job. There's a jungle here that I'm familiar with, but there's no need to risk it. ”

Anthony also nodded and said, "I don't want to lose such a job, an enviable salary, and of course, the most important thing, to have a good boss." ”

After getting acquainted with it, Babur talked a little more: "Lee, you should think about how to run the farm. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said to them, "You're right, the farm should really start thinking about what to run. However, my plan is to raise cattle and sheep, and also grow some cereals, such as rice and wheat. ”

"I think we also need to grow corn, which can be used as cattle feed. If the quantity planted is large, there are quite a few cattle farms nearby, and they also need corn. Anthony thought for a moment and said. "And soybeans. It is said that your country now needs to import a lot of soybeans. ”

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't plan to plant corn and soybeans on a large scale. At most, it is to grow some for your own consumption. ”

Brazil's soybeans and corn are mostly genetically modified. Soybeans in particular, according to statistics last year, 94.8% of soybeans grown in the country are genetically modified soybeans, and the seeds come from the United States. As for corn, not to mention. There is no longer non-GMO corn in the whole of Brazil. Of course, if he wants to plant, he will definitely not use such seeds, there are wild resources in the space, maybe they can be used.

But he didn't have that plan yet. There are too many things to grow, and so many things to consider. Again, he wants to enjoy life.

"I want all the cattle and sheep I raise to eat pasture. There is no winter here, the grass can grow all year round, and as long as the grass is enough, we don't need artificial feed. ”

"But, Lee. The farm does not have an irrigation system. If you want to have enough pasture, you may need to spend a lot of money to install an irrigation system. Otherwise, in the dry season, the cattle will gnaw off even the grass roots. ”

Li Sheng didn't have to think too much, and said, "We can try it first, and then talk about it if the grass is not enough." But rest assured, even if the ranch does nothing, it won't go bankrupt for at least thirty years. ”

Although Li Sheng learned various skills from them, Li Sheng was the boss after all, and there was no need for a few of them to object to what he decided.

"By the way, I heard you haven't taken a vacation for a year. Nothing will happen to the ranch lately. I'm giving you a holiday, it's the end of September, and you can just come back before the rainy season. Li Sheng wanted to do something, so he found an excuse to let the three of them leave for a while.

"Holiday?" said Babur with a deep groan. "The holiday was also good. We take turns on holidays, and everyone gets about a month's vacation. ”

Li Sheng didn't think so: "You have a holiday together." At least until the rainy season, there is no special work on the pasture. You have paid time off. The ranch is likely to be busy next year. So it's best to take advantage of this time to go home and stay longer. Also, if the family wants, they can come together. Some manpower may be needed here next year. ”

"Haha, we're all still happy bachelors. Thomas said with a smile. "But we're on vacation, what are you going to do?"

"Now I can fly planes and I can fly boats. Hungry. ”

"I mean, it's not safe here. What Thomas meant was that there might be people with bad intentions breaking in, and he was worried that Li Sheng would not be able to deal with it alone. Although Li Sheng has already shown the qualities of an excellent soldier. But he is not a soldier after all, and he has no combat experience. The three of them are small in number. But they are all specially trained soldiers and have participated in actual combat, and ordinary dozens of people may not be their opponents. As long as they have one person, it is much safer than Li Sheng staying here alone.

However, Li Sheng was not too worried. In the pasture, he is in charge of his territory. Here as long as he has access to air, he is God: "Be of good cheer. There's nothing to covet here, either. Even if it's those tractors, we may not use them in the future, even if someone steals them, it doesn't matter. If there's any danger, I can hide in the jungle. You know, I'm the best student you've ever taught. ”

The three Babur saw that Li Sheng's meaning was very resolute, so they didn't say anything more.
