(the following text)

Anthony is not a child either, the three views are normal and realistic.

Regarding Li Sheng's suggestion, he smiled and said, "I understand. I think that way, things will be easier. You know, it's very cute, whether it's the dollar or the real. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Then it's all up to you." ”

He arranged the organic food certification to Anthony, and talked to Zhang Feng about the production side. The main thing is to let him cooperate with Anthony to do a good job of certification.

And he himself went to cut wood.

Babur flew more than a dozen times before he picked up all the improvised lumberjacks.

These lumberjacks are native to the Amazon. Many of them are local indigenous, and there are almost no true whites.

The level of education of these people is quite low. Maybe they once owned land - Brazil used laws to allow large numbers of people to enter the Amazon to cut down forests and set up farms in the area.

Quite a few landless peasants were given land. But because they have no culture, they can't run a big farm at all. Soon their land was exchanged for real. They are still poor.

They live in this rainforest, and logging is one of their most experienced jobs. And these people were divided into groups and cut down trees within the prescribed limits.

The Chinese laborers at the outskirts of the jungle were already familiar with the logging work, and there was no need for Thomas to keep an eye on it. Thomas and Li Sheng went deep into the jungle to supervise the work of the loggers.

On the periphery, some large machinery can be used for logging. But in the depths of the jungle, because the road is not yet open, all the manpower can be used.

However, the scope of this passage is not very wide, so the workload is not very large.

Li Sheng and Thomas are deep in the jungle directing the lumberjacks to cut down the trees to be cut down. The trees were all marked with paint by Thomas.

Only the marked trees are to be cut down. Other small trees can be left alone for the time being.

Some of these trees have a DBH of up to two meters, and it takes more than ten minutes for a chainsaw to cut down one. It is very dangerous when a tree tens of meters or hundreds of meters high falls.

Li Sheng is personally sawing a big tree with a diameter of about 1.8 meters at breast height. This Brazilian rosewood is more than 80 meters tall by sight. When he sawed down in two different directions, he sawed off the trunk completely.

Chainsawing also requires a certain amount of skill. First of all, the saw surface should be as flat as possible, and it needs to leave a small bevel. The bevel angle is too large, and the tree is prone to falling down halfway through sawing, which can damage the wood. If the tilt is not in the right direction, the direction in which the tree falls will be unexpected. The bevel angle is too small, it is difficult to control the direction of the tree falling, and it is easy to have accidents.

This is Li Sheng's first time cutting wood, but the flatness of the sawn surface is well maintained. It was because he kept it so well that when he sawed the tree almost to the remaining five centimeters, the tree was still standing. That's a bit out of the ordinary. At this point, the trunk has been completely sawn off, and the rest is mainly the bark. But the tree still didn't fall.

Noticing this, Thomas hurriedly ran over to get all the nearby lumberjacks to stop their work, and then said to Li Sheng, "Cut it off, be very careful." Seeing that it was going that way, you had to get out of the way as soon as possible. ”

Li Sheng touched his nose and continued to work. The tree was completely sawn off. The trunk of the tree slowly fell downward. And the direction of the reversal is the direction where Li Sheng is.

He fled like a rabbit with a chainsaw.

And in the direction of the tree falling, those workers are also jumping.

Fortunately, there was still some time for the workers to flee when the tree fell. There were no casualties.

Li Sheng reached out and touched his forehead, there was a thin layer of sweat on it, all of which were nervous.

He handed the chainsaw to a lumberjack and said to Thomas with a smile, "It's not a good job." ”

Thomas laughs, "So the efficiency of logging could not be any better." Logging is dangerous work. ”

What he didn't say was that three to five people had died every year in the jungle because of logging. Therefore, lumberjack is a fairly risky profession.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Safety first!"

"In fact, there are not many trees to be cut down in this passage, and now we are cutting them down in sections, and we can open the passage in half a month at most. Thomas said with a smile. "What's more time-consuming is digging up the stumps. Also, if you're going to develop that hill, you'll need to cut down a lot more trees than this passage. ”

As they spoke, the sound of a helicopter flight could be heard in the sky.

The helicopter was loud, and the altitude at which it flew was noticeably low.

Both looked up. It turned out that it was not a farm plane.

The plane flew very low, almost just above the canopy. When Thomas saw the plane flying through the sky, he frowned and said, "It's an EPA plane." ”

The Brazilian Environmental Protection Agency is only a regulatory authority, but it also has enforcement powers. In the Amazon jungle, their main responsibility is to deal with timber smuggling and illegal logging.

Li Sheng also saw a logo printed on the helicopter. But this is the first time he has seen it. Now it's a little strange to hear Thomas say that the EPA got the plane: "What are they doing here?"

The plane flew very low, of course, not passing by. Sure enough, the plane circled over their heads for a while before flying away, in the direction of another cutting point.

Thomas frowned and said, "Lee, it looks like you're going to be busy." ”

"Are they here to investigate?" Li Sheng's brows furrowed.

Thomas nodded and said, "In recent years, the Environmental Protection Agency has been very strict about forest farm logging. "They have joined forces with the Green Harmony organization to oppose jungle development. I think they'll come to you soon. ”

"We're not breaking the law, are we?"

"Of course not. However, it doesn't matter if you break the law or not. ”

Thomas's words made Li Sheng's brows furrow, but he didn't pay much attention to it and said, "Don't worry about them." ”

Because the road is impassable, the felled trees are temporarily left in place after the branches are cleared. They need to be opened before they can be towed away.

Thomas's prediction was accurate, and two days later, a helicopter landed at the farm's airfield. A dozen people got off the helicopter. Six of them were armed men armed with submachine guns. There are three wearing green short-sleeved shirts, and the logo on the back of the shirt proves that they are green and organized people.

Li Sheng was notified by Anthony and rushed back to the office.

He frowned at the sight of several armed men outside the office casually in the shade. It's not because of how they are, but their appearance is inherently offensive.

Inside the office, a group of outsiders are waiting for him. The leader is a balding South American with a typical face shape, about fifty years old, with a large belly.

"Hello. We're from Belém, from the State Environmental Protection Agency. I'm Julian, the leader of this investigation team. ”

Li Sheng shook hands with him and his companions, and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome." ”

This time, Li Sheng once again learned the way the Brazilians talked, and after talking for a long time, they did not indicate their purpose.

"Well, Julian, what are you here for the Silent Farm?"

As if he had won, Julian smiled and said, "We noticed that the Silent Farm was cutting down the trees. Judging by where you cut down, you are planning to open a path into the depths of the jungle. We think you're going to go deep into the jungle to exploit. So hopefully you can explain that. ”

The corners of Li Sheng's mouth turned upward, and he asked rhetorically, "Do I need to explain to you?" He didn't wait for the other party to speak, and stretched out his index finger to say. "According to the title deed of Silent Farm, Silent Farm owns 15,000 ordinary kilometers of woodland. According to the relevant laws, Silent Farm requires 80% as reservation. Now we're cutting down more than 20 percent of that wood, or is that law not applicable to Silent Farms?"

Julian seems to have heard of this for the first time: "Are you saying that your farm has only 15,000 square kilometers of woodland, not including this meadow?"

Li Sheng was also surprised: "That's what is indicated on the title deed. This meadow and cultivated land is more than 9,600 square kilometers, which is also indicated in the title deed. ”

The smile on Julian's face was retracted, and he glanced at a man behind him. But he turned around and said, "But we noticed that Silent Farms didn't apply for a timber trading permit. I guess you need to give us an explanation for that too?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Does the law stipulate that you need to obtain permission to cut down your own land? As for the felled timber, is it required by law to sell it? So I don't feel like there's anything to explain to you. ”

Julian's face darkened.

A gray-haired member of the Green and Order interjected, "Mr. Li, we noticed that the Silent Farm is going to open a passage into the depths of the jungle. Such a passage is very damaging to the jungle. It is reasonable to assume that the Silent Farm will damage the jungle due to this passage. ”

Li Sheng is still very supportive of some of the actions of the Green Harmony organization. Although they are always exaggerated. Thirty years ago, for example, they said that in 20 years the Amazon forest would be completely destroyed, and their work was ineffective, but now 83% of the Amazon forest in Brazil is still preserved. But what they're doing is really playing a positive role in protecting the world's endangered animals, such as cetaceans – even though the chicks have always been eggs.

When it comes to the development of Silent Farm, he doesn't need anyone to dictate.

He had a smile on his face, but his words were unceremoniously reciprocated: "As long as we obey the law, I don't think we should be unreasonably accused under any circumstances." No one has the right to ask me to develop and use my own land. ”

His toughness is a bit of a gray one.

The EPA team soon got on the plane and left. Only Julian left a sentence: "We will monitor the deforestation and timber movement of Silent Farm at all times." ”

Li Sheng scoffed at such a warning. He had never thought of exporting timber. In other words, even if he wants to export, he will not go through formal channels. They may not be able to monitor if they want to.

After the other party left, Anthony said to Li Sheng worriedly: "It seems that they are eyeing us!"

Li Sheng is not surprised by this.
