This cooperation is only a business cooperation with a small group of interest groups represented by Leonardo, a cooperation of exemplary significance, which does not involve the operation of the grain company, let alone the cooperation of the entire grain cartel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Leonardo had no reason not to agree, he had already thought about inviting a few friends who were close to him and had status in the Brazilian government to explore the vast interior of Brazil.

Because this is a cooperation that people can't refuse, all they need is help with all the formalities, and buy the land in their name, and deal with all the relations with the government, and they don't have to pay a penny to get 30% of the shares, and promise them that if the development fails, they won't let them share even a penny of the debt.

The Chinese told Leonardo bluntly that what they needed was food security.

The formation of a grain cartel is a long process, involving more than 10 coastal agricultural states in Brazil, millions of people, hundreds of thousands of farmers and businessmen, not a short time and a half to complete, just go through various commercial procedures, sign a cooperation agreement, a year may not be enough.

In fact, ten years is not enough, Yang Chao is not optimistic about this cartel at all, at most he can only contact a few hundred large farms, and millions of small and medium-sized landlords in Brazil cannot coordinate at all, why is the coffee group strong, because their core is the dozens of trading companies that monopolize sales in Brazil, not those large and small farmers.

The Brazilian grain conglomerate, which is much larger than the coffee conglomerate, has never been able to overwhelm the coffee conglomerate, because it is simply not controllable internally, and the internal interests cannot be unified.

Therefore, Yang Chao plans to come by himself, form a closer grain production group, cooperate with Brazil's big farmers, political forces, and officials, and directly develop his own development, give benefits to these people, and make them the beneficiaries and spokesmen of the grain production group.

In later generations, Brazil's population was mainly concentrated in the coastal areas, and the inland was almost the territory of millions of indigenous people, and the tribes in the Amazon rainforest were even more primitive.

Yang Chao plans to open up the savanna zone, which accounts for one-fifth of their territory in the central and western regions of Brazil, without conflict with any other group, and it is not a problem to develop all of them and open up four or five billion mu of arable land.

Leonardo over there thinks it's not a problem, Yang Chao here has also acted, people and horses are ready-made, in recent years, Zhang Jian has opened a large farm of three million acres, and it is more than enough to transfer a thousand tractor drivers from his farm, and even the tankmen in Yang Chao's army have hundreds of tractor drivers trained by Zhang Jian's farm.

Fortunately, Yang Chao let the more than 100 tankmen who had fought directly recover, and let them follow Jiang Daomin, a henchman under Zhang Jian, to be the first to explore Brazil.

These tractor drivers have not an ordinary deep affection for Zhang Jian's Dasheng Reclamation and Animal Husbandry Company, almost like home, Zhang Jian's farm is very interesting, it is said to be an investment, and there is a taste of cooperation.

Probably influenced by the traditional Chinese countryside, Zhang Jian's large farm is very large, but he turned the land into pieces, of course, because of the use of mechanization in the northeast, this small piece is also quite large, about 2 or 3 thousand acres, and then cultivated by a family.

The family is not a worker of Dasheng Farm, but a tenant of Dasheng Farm, the company according to the degree of maturity of the land, collect the "top head" (deposit) in installments, the tenant returns the cultivated land within seven to ten years, the company in addition to the return of the "top head", but also pays a certain amount of raw land to grow "Xin Li Yin" (hard money).

The family used tractors, harvesters and other machinery provided by Dasheng to reclaim Dasheng's farmland, but they bought and sold freely, Dasheng only collected rent, and when the tenants did not want to plant, they quit the tenants, and they would also give them a hardship fee to reward them for turning the raw land into cooked land, which stimulated the enthusiasm of the tenants and was equivalent to the stimulation of the bonus to the workers.

Of course, the peasant families who rent the land of Dasheng rarely have to quit the tenant, unless they have to leave when they are urgent, they will basically keep the land, that is really to take these lands as their home, because Dasheng promises that they will not retreat, they will not take it, this is the perpetual tenant system in Jiangnan.

It is in this way, through these farming families, that Zhang Jian can continue to develop his farm with as little investment as possible, otherwise the salary is a lot of expenses, and these expenses are shared by countless tenant families.

These tractor drivers come from such a family, and they have a symbiotic relationship with Dasheng Farm, and they are extremely loyal to Dasheng Farm, so it doesn't matter where they go, where they have Dasheng, there is a home.

Yang Chao did not agree with this model of Dasheng at first, his ideal future agriculture is an American-style large farm, land intensification, large-scale, so that the ability to resist risks is stronger, and the land is dispersed to small farmers one by one, what is the difference between this and Guannai, but the peasants are bound to the land, just like in Russia, although a large number of peasants are legally free, but they voluntarily stay in the village community, and industrial development can not get labor.

However, thinking about the social development of the West and Japan made Yang Chao understand that it is impossible for the development of the country to ignore the national conditions, otherwise it will cause turmoil, and Stolypin was too anxious to change the face of Russian agriculture, in fact, out of consideration for the country, but it made the peasants very dissatisfied, and the peasants were unwilling to divide the land, and forcibly privatization could only be counterproductive.

Even if China's industrialization cannot reach the level of Europe and the United States, as long as half of the people can be turned into industrial workers, this is also an extremely powerful economy.

Isn't France also a large number of small farms in later generations, with the largest number of farmers in Europe and the United States, and is it not also a developed country?

Therefore, although Yang Chao did not approve of it, he did not interfere with Zhang Jian's social practice, and now he supports Zhang Jian to go to Brazil to develop agriculture.

At the beginning, Zhang Jian's attitude was not positive, he was not very willing to let Dasheng go to foreign countries to farm, send his tenants to Brazil, he thought that the northeast was enough for him to operate, the agricultural market in recent years was not good, even if Europe was buying grain at a high price, but the Americans were enough to feed the whole of Europe, without the Chinese merchant ships escorted by the navy, there was no way to sell grain to Europe, which was the same as Brazil.

So Zhang Jian in the Northeast in recent years vigorously plant cotton, although his tenants are self-employed, but they believe in Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian let them plant cotton, they plant cotton, compared to the low price of grain, cotton prices in recent years are very good, the first is because the peaceful environment makes the economic development very good, the people can afford to wear more clothes, the market is much larger than in the past, the second is that European and Japanese textiles stop dumping China, China's local textile industry is very strong, the demand for cotton is strong, The third is that foreign cotton cannot be shipped in, whether it is the United States or India, because of the war, production has been reduced.

I was not very interested in growing grain, and of course I had no interest in growing grain abroad.

Yang Chao told Zhang Jian that this is a century-old plan, which is related to food security, and who dares to guarantee that the Chinese will always have enough to eat, and who dares to guarantee that China will always be able to adjust the wind and rain, Zhang Jian's heart is moved. Then Yang Chao told him that farming in Brazil may not be profitable, but it can ensure the security of China's national peace and security, and control his own food security, so that Zhang Jian can think about it.

As soon as he heard that he didn't make money, Zhang Jian made up his mind to go, and he didn't want to do it. Zhang Jian's spiritual attitude is difficult to see in the social elites of later generations.

Jiang Daomin took more than 1,000 young tractor drivers, with more than 1,000 agricultural machinery of various types, went to Brazil by steamer, got off the ship in São Paulo, and then walked more than 100 kilometers by train, and then could only drive the tractor all the way to the north, until Goiás, a city formed by gold mining, and walked more than ten kilometers north to the endless savanna.

They set up camp by a river, a fertile triangle where two rivers meet, and they intend to develop it.

According to Jiang Daomin's calculations, there are five or six thousand acres of land available for reclamation in this triangle alone, and they plan to build their first farm here.

What they didn't know was that the place they had chosen happened to be the location of Brasilia, the capital chosen by the Brazilian government. The Marañón and Wilde rivers meet here, and the climate is pleasant, making it a good place. It was only at this time that the Indians were still hunting areas, so the security problems were very serious, so they gave up a larger area of land on both sides of the bank and chose a place where two rivers meet and are surrounded by water on three sides.

The roar of the tractor broke this peaceful land, frightened the scattered Indian tribes nearby, and then made them curious, these simple primitive people, it may not be strange to eat people when they are hungry, but when they are not hungry, they are still very easy to get along with, and they become friends with a few bottles of Erguotou.

These people don't yet know what kind of neighbor they will have to us, a neighbor who will break their quiet and peaceful life and bring them a sea change.

At the same time, a railway also began to extend from Itabira to the northeast, Brazilians are not optimistic about the operation of this railway at all, the Brazilian government is not even willing to participate in the shares, almost free of charge to the right of way of this road to the Yang Zi Group, because they can not see the possibility of this railway profit, but can see the opportunities brought to the interior of Brazil after the railway is built, since the Chinese are willing to pay for the construction of the railway, then let them repair it, it is the Brazilians who will enjoy the benefits in the future, and it is the Chinese who will suffer losses in the future.
