After the gold dollar counterfeit scandal.

It's early February.

At this time, a quarter has passed since ABCD launched the food war.

Due to Luzon's tropical monsoon climate, the year can be roughly divided into three seasons, namely the rainy season in April~December, the cool season in December~February, and the dry season in February~April.

Normally, although three crops of rice can be planted in a year, in actual agricultural production, only one or two crops of rice are grown.

Late rice is harvested from January to February.

This year, there are not a few farmers in Luzon who are planting the second crop of late rice, and the planting area has reached 3.82 million hectares, of which hybrid rice accounts for 1.54 million mu.

The total planting area of one-season rice in Luzon is about 6 million hectares, and the yield per hectare is about 3~4 tons.

This time, the 3.82 million hectares of late rice are estimated to harvest 13 million tons of rice.

It was only during this year's harvest that the ABCD-led grain group quickly put large quantities of rice into the global market.

This led to a rapid collapse in the price of rice.

The purchase price of rice in Manila fell by 42% from the previous year, and the downward trend is still unstoppable.

In the past, because of the high price of rice, farmers who resisted the pressure to buy high-grade chemical fertilizers and pesticides have fallen into a situation where they have lost their money.

In the northern part of Manila, there are a large number of small farmers and farmers who have lost their money in this food war.

Almost everywhere there was a wail, and none of the rice farmers were spared, especially those who had taken out loans, and they fell into despair.

Right now.

A convoy of grain entered the village.

The big horn on the car sounded here.

"Rice has been harvested, 15,000 ...... a ton"

Hearing the price of 15,000, the farmers who had rice in their homes were already desperate, knowing that each ton of rice reached about 25,000 pesos (equivalent to 3,300 yuan in Chinese yuan) a year ago.

But what if you don't sell it, maybe the price will be even lower in a few days, especially for farmers who have loans at home, and it is even more painful.

Juan, as an employee of the grain company owned by the House of Plenty, naturally knew that the price of 15,000 pesos was already the highest in the region.

Soon, a farmer who couldn't hold it came over.

"Boss, how about ten thousand?"

Juan didn't look at the other party's pitiful expression, but replied very formulaically: "Fifteen thousand is already the highest in Manila, if you don't believe it, you can go outside and ask." ”

The old farmer hesitated, but when he thought that his eldest son had borrowed money from the bank, if he couldn't pay it back, the land in the house would be taken away by the bank.

Seeing the old peasant's hesitant expression, he knew that the other party might have debts, which played into Juan's arms, and he said with a smile:

"Dude, if you want to sell at a high price, it's not impossible."

"What? What can the boss do? "The old farmer seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

Juan pulled out a contract: "This is the application for membership of the agricultural cooperative, as long as you join the agricultural cooperative, everyone is a family......"

"Agricultural cooperatives?" The old peasants had obviously heard of it, after all, the Fernando family and the Lopez family were engaged in land annexation in the south, and this matter had spread all over Luzon.

Some hostile forces have even maliciously added fuel to the fire on their own turf, demonizing the actions of the Fernando family and the Lopez family.

Therefore, the first impression of the old farmers on the agricultural cooperatives is not good.

Juan smiled and said, "Brother, do you know why your rice can't be sold for money?" This is all Marcus, Ayala, Aquino, they are playing tricks, if they are not in cooperation with international grain merchants, how can Luzon's rice rise first and then fall, don't forget the 08 year. ”

"These bastards ......," scolded a few of the other younger farmers.

Don't you just engage in public opinion attacks, like no one else would be like that?

Homo sapiens is even more comprehensive, not only starting with TV broadcasts and the Internet, but also directly connecting with local villages through agricultural cooperatives, logistics channels, and purchasing fleets in the countryside.

Coupled with the fact that ABCD and those big families already have a criminal record, with a little guidance, the memory of the Luzon people is awakened.

After Juan broke the news of the conspiracy between ABCD and the extended family, he again brought up the matter of rural cooperatives.

"What are you working so hard for? It is not for food, clothing, shelter and children, but to join agricultural cooperatives, with various subsidies and land rent, and you can also go to the city to work or work on farms. ”

"If you have a loan, you can also transfer it to the name of the agricultural cooperative, and you can also be given a period of grace when the time comes, or you can directly sell the land to the cooperative and take the money to live in the city."

The old peasant hurriedly asked: "Is it really possible to transfer the loan?" ”

"Yes, but the cooperative charges a little interest, not 10% for many years."

After Juan's deception, more than a dozen farmers with loans agreed to join the cooperative, and others appeared to have visited model farms in the south and chose to join the cooperative.

In fact, Juan is not purely fooling people, after all, the cooperative under the leadership of Haitian Agriculture really has many benefits.

The same acquisition convoy as Juan quickly advanced into the countryside of northern Luzon.

And the Marcus family was already too busy to take care of themselves at this time, because their behavior angered Lao Du, although Lao Du was selfish, he didn't want Luzon to be harvested by ABCD.

The other side.

Within the Aquino family.

Cairns Aquino was directly controlled by more than a dozen core members with the cooperation of the soldiers, and then quickly carried out a major purge within the family.

The Ayala family, which had been very low-key before, died of a heart attack in North America, and the two sons were imprisoned for various things in less than three days.

James Ayala, the new head of the Ayala family, quickly appeared on live TV with Cairns Aquino and Xu Yingming, apologized to everyone, and announced the previous incident of their family and the Marcus family uniting ABCD.

This wave of self-explosion directly put the Marcus family directly into a very passive situation.

This also made ABCD look extremely toothache.

But ABCD was too late to save the Marcus family, and Lao Du and the rest of the family acted very quickly and ruthlessly, and directly sent the core members of the Marcus family to prison.

Then it was about dividing up the territory and interests of the Marcus family.

And this time the fiasco of the Marcus family is different from the previous ones, this time there is basically no chance of a comeback.

Because their family's core territory has been carved up, the core members have been taken down, and the evidence of collusion with ABCD is conclusive, no one in Luzon now dares to speak for the Marcus family.

And with the fall of the Marcus family, and the rebellion of the other three families, ABCD should be completely wiped out in Luzon.

But this does not mean that the ABCD will rest on its laurels, and they continue to push international rice prices down, while raising the prices of fertilizers and pesticides sold to Luzon, as well as the purchase prices of cash crops.

The purpose is to force the Luzon peasant households to reduce the planting area of rice and corn and expand the planting area of cash crops next season.

There was no fear of this at all, because with the integration of various families within the company, the interior of Luzon was now basically stable.

With the spare granary of Honsavady, ABCD will only find itself doing useless work in the end.

Of course, now it's still the farmers who have to suffer first.

The Homo sapiens company united various family forces and began a large-scale harvest, cutting the leeks themselves before ABCD harvested.
