Eliminate external influences, that is, put aside the influence of the jade seal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Yu was going to divide the test field into two parts, one of which was still shrouded in the influence of the jade seal, and the other was to remove the influence of the jade seal.

"I think it should be subdivided."

Tina was wearing a white coat and had a unique style: "I've thought carefully about it in the past few days, maybe I can add some genes from other plants to see if it can have some effect." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu raised his eyes: "What plant genes are added?" ”

"Beans!" Tina said: "The root nodules of beans have the ability to fix nitrogen, and I want to try to use the mysterious elements extracted to affect the genes of the beans, and then add this part of the genes to the gene sequence of rice." ”

"But there are two challenges." Zhou Yu frowned: "First, after the mysterious element is extracted, it will soon dissipate and cannot be preserved, so it may not be easy to affect the genes of the bean." Second, beans and rice are fundamentally two different species, and if you want to genetically hybridize, I'm afraid..."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Tina smiled: "And the bean gene transplantation technology is very mature."

"That's right." Zhou Yu nodded: "Then try it." In this way, the next experiment is divided into two branches, one that abandons and one that does not abandon external influences, and each of them is refined into two types: those with and without the legume gene. ”

"Yes, I hope there are no mistakes in the direction of our research."

"We'll see."

"But before that," Tina sat on Zhou Yu's lap and put her arms around his neck: "We need more and more advanced instruments!" ”

"Buy!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand.

...

Researching new crops is not a simple task, at least, in a short period of time, and the results will not be visible.

However, Zhou Yu is not in a hurry. Both he and Tina have time.

Anyway, there is no shortage of time and money, do it slowly, even if it is ten or eight years, you can afford to wait.

The expansion of the farm is already well underway. The first is to buy land.

To the east of the farm, there is West Tok, to the west is the Pacific Ocean, and to the north is all mountainous. Therefore, only land along the southern coast can be purchased.

This time, the area purchased by Zhou Yu is 10,000 acres, which directly doubles the scale of the farm!

The 10,000-acre includes two small orchard farms, a wasteland, and a grain crop farm. Nearly 20 million dollars were spent in total!

It's a lot more expensive than buying John's Farm earlier.

No way, the other two orchard farms and one grain crop farm are not as loss-making as John's Farm, they have a surplus every year, and if they don't have a premium, people don't want to sell them!

Once the land is in hand, the next step is to integrate and renovate.

In the other two orchards, the fruit trees planted are not much different from John's Farm, so they have to be cut down and replanted with the introduced lychee, hawthorn and coconut. As for the wasteland, Zhou Yu is going to use it to grow watermelons.

Ten thousand acres, the wasteland occupies a thousand acres, and the other three farms, for a total of nine thousand acres. The 9,000 acres were divided into three parts, and the part near the sea was about 1,500 acres, which was used to grow coconuts and build new coconut orchards. The remaining 7,500 acres were planted with lychees and the remaining 3,000 acres with hawthorn, depending on the topography and the value of the fruit.

Once the planning is complete, the recruitment of workers will begin.

In the town, in fact, many people are already looking forward to it.

In terms of agriculture, Citoque, or the city of Santa Maria, is dominated by fruit cultivation. So, in fact, the people here will more or less have one or two hands.

Therefore, it is quick and easy to recruit people.

It only took two days, and Zhou Yu's subordinates added another hundred people!

All are local residents of Sitok.

There is only one reason why local residents are so enthusiastic, and that is the bonus! The news of the farm's dividend last year has long been spread throughout Sitoque, and even in the circle of Santa Maria.

Who doesn't aspire to earn more? Naturally, they sought hope.

This time, it finally made many people happy.

After the recruitment of manpower is completed, all work is on the right track.

At this time, Lin Quan was in Zhou Yu's villa.

"Boss, the workers have been recruited and grouped. However, the leaders of these four groups have not yet been selected. ”

"The person in charge... Proficient professionals are definitely needed. Now among the old workers, ask if there is anyone who is good at taking care of coconuts, lychees, watermelons and hawthorns, if so, let him be the person in charge, if not, you can only recruit specially. ”

"Okay." Lin Quan recorded it and said: "The new farm area has just begun, and many things have to be built, and I have already contacted the relevant companies to build the infrastructure of the new farm area as soon as possible." Also, I have a suggestion that I would like to talk to my boss. ”

"What advice?" Zhou Yu said.

"Farms are getting bigger and there are more workers." Lin Quan pondered for a moment and said, "When there are many people, it is easy to produce some common-sense drawbacks. I pondered it all night and felt that in terms of dividends, I should break it down a little more. ”

"How?" Zhou Yu was interested.

"Last year's dividends were uniform. It is distributed to all workers according to the total income of the farm. But I don't think that's fair. Lin Quan said.

"It's not fair..."Zhou Yu groaned slightly, and said, "I understand what you mean." Are you saying that dividends will be distributed separately for each different orchard in the future? ”

"Yes." Lin Quan said: "It's like a banana plantation. The banana plantation generates five percent of the profits as dividends. And not as before, all the orchards are mixed up. ”

"But in this case..."Zhou Yu frowned slightly: "That's right." The area is smaller, the profit is less, but the group has fewer workers. The larger the area, the more profits, but also the workers. That's fair. ”

Lin Quan nodded: "This also has the advantage of promoting competition between various orchards. It puts an end to some people being lazy, but they can catch other orchards and get the same dividends. ”

"Okay." Zhou Yu nodded slowly: "That's it." ”

Lin Quan's suggestion is very good, but there is a premise, that is, the price of all different kinds of fruits must be at least the same.

Otherwise, if the price of a certain fruit is low and the price of a certain fruit is high, there is no comparison between them.

For the time being, though, that's not a problem.

For example, the batch of bananas and pineapples harvested in February and March, the wholesale price to St. Mary's Company is not far from the snake fruit and red grapes of the previous year, not low.

Perhaps in the future, the price of high-grade fruit produced by farms will be divergent due to the sharp increase in production, but for the time being, this will not happen.

"You can directly inform this matter and let every worker know." Zhou Yu said: "If you want more dividends, you can't take advantage of others." Every group must work hard and strive for greater profits, so that the dividends will be higher. ”

"Okay."

Lin Quan replied seriously.

And then he said, "Then there is the introduction of lychee and hawthorn." In the United States, there are farms that grow hawthorn and lychee, and there are also nurseries that grow fruit seedlings, although there are not many. However, I think it is better to introduce it from Great Xia. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this: "There are also lychees and hawthorns here?" ”

"Yes."

frowned: "What about the relevant information?" How about the varieties here? ”

"The varieties here in the United States are definitely not as good as the Great Xia, especially the hawthorn." Lin Quan Road.

"Then what else is there to say, introduce!" Zhou Yu waved his hand: "There are also lychees, what are the green lychees!" I heard that the prices are ridiculously high in Great Xia, so I introduced this one. ”

"Okay. And what about watermelons? Lin Quan said again.

"Watermelon... Anyway, if you look at it, if you want to plant the best variety, hawthorn or lychee, if you can't get the best variety, just settle for the second. ”

"Okay."

The area of the farm doubled all of a sudden, but for Zhou Yu, it was not a burden. The area of influence of the jade seal has now gradually grown to 110,000 acres.

Such a large area of influence, a mere 20,000 acres of farm, is a small meaning.

Earlier, after absorbing the nutrients of the Baglin Crater, the jade seal grew to an area of influence of 100,000 acres, and since then, when Zhou Yu has free time, he will silently mobilize the jade seal, shuttle underground, and attack everywhere to find the meteorite breath.

In the past few months, Devouring has absorbed a lot of meteorite breath, which has expanded its area of influence by 10,000 acres again.

However, in the short term, I am afraid that it will not be able to grow.

Because Zhou Yu found the limit of its scope in the process of walking the jade seal.

Originally, at the Baglin Crater, it was only a few hundred kilometers from the farm. Later, when I walked the jade seal, I finally discovered the limit of controlling the jade seal in this way - a thousand kilometers!

In other words, with the farm as the center, the scope of walking the jade seal is only limited to a radius of 1,000 kilometers.

The world is so big, Zhou Yu originally thought that he could travel all over the world while sitting at home, but his idea has long been in vain. In the future, if you want to continue to let the jade seal increase the scope of influence, you can only go out.

Of course, there is no such demand at this stage.

To be honest, Zhou Yu's farm can be expanded to what scale in the end, he still has specific ideas in his heart. But at least it is impossible to compare with the largest landowners in the United States, the big landowners who own millions of acres of land.

One is that there is no need for that!

Why? For example, if Zhou Yu owns such a huge piece of land, then what will be the output of the farm?

Scarcity is expensive, and if the production of high-end things is large, the price will naturally decrease rapidly.

When the time comes, why bother to manage millions of acres and make less money than 100,000 acres?

Second, there are geographical restrictions.

There is probably not so much land in California for Zhou Yu to buy. And it can't be purchased across states - there is no way for the jade seal to jump over one area and affect other places.

Therefore, at least for a long time, the scope of influence of the jade seal does not have any restrictions on Zhou Yu.
