For so many days, Gu Yu has known that Qiu Hao is the head of Qinghuan Farm, and now he has obtained his approval, which means that the water problem of the experimental base has been solved.

When the time reached half past eleven, which was equivalent to half past nine in the mainland, Qin Wu and the four said that they were going to inspect the sandy land of the farm, and asked Qiu Hao if he wanted to go together, but Qiu Hao came from there in the morning, so he naturally said "not to go", so there were only three people left in the room: Qiu Hao, Gu Yu and Yuan Ze.

As soon as Qin Wu and the others left, Qiu Hao thought of a few doubts during this time and asked, "Gu Yu, how did you know about Qinghuan Farm?" It wasn't a nutritious question, but he just wanted to know.

"I came here for half a month to travel, and I happened to see it, of course, you will definitely not pay attention to me at that time, as for Yuan Ze, he is purely with me!" Gu Yu replied.

In fact, Qinghuan Farm is only 100 meters away from the Lunmin Desert Highway, and the road is full of cars and people every day, so there are not many people who know the existence of Qinghuan Farm, but the vast majority of people are just passing by in a hurry, and there are very few people who really explore.

Qiu Hao looked at Yuan Ze, this guy was not a fool but was speechless by default, giving him the impression that he was an arrogant and uncoamish invisible man, when he didn't exist, he asked: "What about Kenji Tanaka, how did he know?"

"Actually, he and I have only just met, and he said that Aitian Society is in Hotan, a new province. The city has 10,000 acres of orchards, and then the locals told him! ”

"Alas, the Japanese also came to Huaxia to set up orchards!" Qiu Hao sighed slightly, and his heart was faintly not a taste, but he also knew that foreigners could indeed contract land in China, just like Chinese people could go abroad to be landlords.

Gu Yu was much calmer and said, "It's nothing, it's just overseas tuntian!"

"Overseas Tuntian......" Qiu Hao muttered, and then pondered: "Overseas Tuntian sounds simple and clear, but I don't think it's that simple!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Ze glanced at Qiu Hao, and then simply closed his eyes to recuperate.

Gu Yu showed an apologetic look of "sorry" to Qiu Hao, she knew that for Yuan Ze's level, Qiu Hao's question was too small, and sighed: "Of course it's not simple, overseas tuntian is an important national policy of some countries!"

Qiu Hao was puzzled, it was actually an important national policy, could it be that those countries encouraged people from their own countries to go abroad to run farms and ranches? I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's going on?"

"Overseas farming is when one country buys or leases land from another country, and then 'sends permanent staff' to carry out agricultural production, and the agricultural products produced are used to supply the domestic needs of the country where the land is grown. Of course, private contracting land abroad can also be regarded as a potential overseas tuntian, and this is the case with Kenji Tanaka. ”

"Between countries?"

Qiu Hao was shocked when he heard this, he didn't know these before, he thought that the country lacked anything to import directly, but now that he thinks about it, his previous understanding is too shallow, it turns out that countries also play with farming and pasture, and asked: "Are there many countries that carry out overseas tuntian?"

Facing Qiu Hao's curious gaze, Gu Yu explained: "Yes, in the context of the global food crisis, many countries with little arable land and heavy dependence on food imports have begun to surrender their eyes overseas, and with the support of the government, overseas tuntian has become an important strategy for these countries to ensure food security."

Now, with food prices rising, many leaders believe that in an era of trade restrictions and high food price expectations, it is not only dangerous but also short-sighted to continue to rely on food imports from other countries. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yu recalled: "For decades, Japan has become the world's largest grain importer, and itself is also crazy to devote itself to overseas farmland, as early as seven or eight years ago, Japan has rented or purchased a large amount of farmland in Brazil, Africa, Central Asia and other places, and already has more than three times the amount of overseas farmland in Japan's own farmland, but it is just unfortunate that our country is also an important source of food for Japan." She paused and sighed, and then said helplessly: "Heh, they say that our country is their farm!"

Qiu Hao heard that there was a black line between his eyebrows, but he also knew the general situation of Japan, the land area is close to 380,000 square kilometers, which is one-twenty-sixth of the country, which is equivalent to Yunnan Province, but the population has reached more than 120 million, close to one-tenth of the domestic and three times the population of Yunnan Province.

It's just that when he heard that Japan said that Huaxia was a Japanese farm, Qiu Hao was very angry! understands but can't tolerate it, he can't control others, and he himself will never allow it!

Qiu Hao quickly thought of Kenji Tanaka, although he hadn't seen that guy before, and he didn't know anything about his temperament, but Kenji Tanaka planned to build a resort, and he hadn't thought about selling water to him before, and now it was even more impossible.

Putting the matter of Kenji Tanaka behind him for the time being, Qiu Hao began to think about the country, and muttered: "I didn't expect the food crisis to be so serious, does our country also carry out overseas tuntian?" I mean, at the state level, not private. ”

Gu Yu looked inexplicable and said, "The official said no."

"None? Why, is it the Chinese threat theory again? Qiu Hao was surprised again, other countries have acted, but the country is just watching, he said he can't understand.

"The reasons are manifold, and this one cannot be ruled out. In fact, our country is basically self-sufficient in grain, and there is still a large amount of farmland in the country that is deserted, and some farmland can be planted for two crops but only one season, so the land is not fully developed, so it is not necessary to farm overseas. ”

Unexpectedly, Qiu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "No, I know that there is also a large amount of farmland in Japan, and I heard that it is the same as our country, the younger generation does not want to be farmers, but in this case, Japan is still crazy to go overseas to farm, so we can't stand stupidly!"

"The country really didn't stand stupid!"

"It's good that you're not stupid to stand...... Hey? Qiu Hao turned his head and found that the person who spoke was not Gu Yu, who had been talking, but the silent man Yuan Ze, and the sentence just now was the second sentence he said after he came.

"So how did the state respond?"

Yuan Ze lay comfortably on the wooden sofa, looked at Qiu Hao indifferently with his eyes, and slowly spoke: "The country's method is to help some countries develop agriculture, such as Africa, to help them increase production, so that food prices do not rise so much, which indirectly ensures food security."

Indirect... Is it only indirect? Qiu Hao still feels that it is inappropriate, as the so-called "a thousand birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand", and you still have to rely on yourself to produce food!

Gu Yu saw Qiu Hao's faint dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "If you want to do those things, it's better to think about governing the desert if you have a mind!" Not to mention the far away, just talking about the Taklamakan Desert, as long as we manage it well, we can have an additional granary equivalent to two Hebei provinces in China, and it will not be a problem to feed 100 million more people at that time! ”

Qiu Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, but this was originally a faint idea in his heart, with a system, with a strong sand control plant, conquering the desert is indeed not a fantasy, so he said: "Uh, what you said is also right, but it is not easy to do this!"

Gu Yu frowned and said proudly: "If it were easy, I wouldn't come, I want to transform the desert into fertile fields through my own efforts, and the benefits generated in the future will never be worse than those of overseas tuntian!"

At this time, Yuan Ze suddenly chuckled, and said word by word: "Ha, a big joke!"

"You ......" Gu Yu punched him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Who is telling jokes, the Taklamakan Desert will definitely be successfully managed!"

Yuan Ze didn't feel the pain, and sighed: "Then how do you govern it, I have said it before, the control of the desert is a matter of money, and only with more money can you get enough water, and with water can you control the desert, as for the so-called excellent sand control plants, in my opinion, they are the least important!"

Gu Yu gritted his teeth, the other party was denying his career, and said hatefully: "Isn't it water, tell you, there is no shortage of water in the Taklamakan Desert, you roll aside."

Yuan Ze shook his head and said, "Do you mean eight trillion tons deep in the desert?" How can the water with high salinity in the whole body be used directly for irrigation, and the water cannot be moved, otherwise the desert would have been managed in China a long time ago! ”

Gu Yu tilted his head to the side, and Qiu Hao on the side noticed what Yuan Ze had just said, there are actually eight trillion tons of water in the deep underground of the Taklamakan Desert, which is a lot, it seems that the annual runoff of the Yangtze River is close to one trillion cubic meters, and one cubic meter of water weighs one ton, eight trillion tons of water, which is the eight-year water flow of the Yangtze River......

Qiu Hao's eyes narrowed, and he interjected: "Yuan Ze, is there really so much water in the Taklamakan Desert?"

Yuan Ze looked at Qiu Hao in surprise and said, "Yes, but the water level is very deep, a few hundred meters." Why, you also hit those deep groundwater ideas? ”

"Ahem! Hundreds of meters deep... Then forget it! Qiu Hao's heart sank immediately when he heard this, and he retreated directly, because he couldn't play at all.

Yuan Ze snorted: "I advise you not to pay attention to those waters, you know the people of Qin Province. Qinxian County, where some people pump groundwater, as a result, the groundwater level drops, the salinity rises, so that the plants can't absorb enough water and die, and then the desertification of the land is even worse! ”

"That's it!" Qiu Hao sighed, although he had not treated Yuan Ze very much since they met, he expected that Yuan Ze would be the same, but Yuan Ze did not need to lie to him, so he completely gave up the idea of pumping deep groundwater.
