"Sorry, Mr. Dulin, I may not understand you. You mean..." A farmer with a thick hat stood in the wilderness outside the city and looked at the land that had just been sold, feeling a little bit like a ghost, "You mean we don't use insecticides, we can catch insects with our hands?"
The bugs exist anywhere. It is said that there are still some tiny creatures in the mantle. In the open ecological environment in the west, the insects are actually not much less than people imagined. The ecological environment here is relatively harsh, and the insects living here are also very "strong". These gadgets have strong ability to eat gluttonous food. A caterpillar can eat leaves weighing about twenty to thirty times the weight of their body in one day.
They store these foods in their stomachs to overcome possible "famine". Whenever new farmlands start to cultivate, people are most concerned about the efficiency of pesticides. I don't know when, but the effective time of new pesticides has been shortened to two or three years. After the time-consuming period, the insects will die, but they will not be poisoned, but drowned. So after the spring, people will take some insects that hatched at home to go to major pesticide companies to check the efficacy of pesticides this year at sales points in the west.
These bugs are always troublesome. Not only is it troublesome to sprinkle pesticides, but the work you get harvested after sprinkling pesticides also needs to be soaked and disinfected, which is also very troublesome. The price of vegetables in the western region is about the same price as the lowest-grade beef, and sometimes it is a little higher.
Dulin, who stood in front of a group of farmers, nodded, "Yes, our farmland does not require any pesticides, and all bugs must be done manually to ensure that all crops are not infected by pesticides."
"But this is a very large workload. We cannot ensure that there are bugs on the back of each leaf. And please be honest, doing so will bring greater waste. In fact, using some new pesticides will not cause too much residue. They have special cleaning agents..." The farmer was still talking about this problem, but Dulin raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
"I invite you and give you a good salary. It is not to discuss with you how I should farm. You just need to follow my instructions. This is also the reason why I pay you." Dulin kicked the withered weeds under his feet. "You are the best farmers here. I believe you can help me manage these lands very beautifully. As long as I am satisfied, material rewards will often appear before you. Now, I hope you can lead my people to turn over all the lands here. Spring is not far away!"
Although the farmers still complained, they finally compromised with the high salary offered by Dulin. No one would be unable to get over money, whether he was a big man or a small man like a farmer.
The farmers Dulin hired are all good at doing farm work nearby, or farmers from generation to generation. They are definitely more insightful and reliable than scholars who sit in the office and enjoy coffee and massage. These people will become the biggest helper of this land, helping him plant the 500 hectares of land as soon as possible.
Twenty brand new agricultural vehicles were launched, and the local Guartes and some locals began to farm.
When I returned to the villa, I was a little strange. I didn’t do anything in the mining industry. Why did I think of doing agriculture and animal husbandry?
His question was quickly answered by Dulin, "The reason is very simple, one is for the economic effect, and the other is to kidnap more western locals!"
"How much do you think a sweet cabbage can cost?" Sweet cabbage is a cheap vegetable widely grown in the empire. Each one has a different weight, ranging from one pound to two pounds, and is also widely used. It can be cooked as a main dish, but it is often used as a side dish, such as hot dogs, hamburgers and other fast foods, as well as barbecue staple foods.
Dufo recalled it and replied tentatively: "A penny?"
Du Lin smiled and hung his coat on the hanger. "No, my ideal price is ten, or even higher." He said as he walked inside. "You must understand that the upper class is very particular about diet, especially those rich noble men. They don't care whether they eat ten yuan or one hundred yuan in a meal. They only care whether they eat well enough and whether they can become ingredients to set off their value."
"Which type do you think they would choose a sweet cabbage that costs ten yuan per piece of sweet cabbage or a sweet cabbage that costs ten yuan per piece of sweet cabbage? And we will also package these sweet cabbages, which will attract these rich people to blindly consume!"
Dufo reacted instantly. His brain doesn’t mean he is a fool. “Is this why you don’t use pesticides to catch insects?”
"That's right!" The two walked to the sofa and sat down casually. The family was all their own people, so there was no need to put on any airs. "There will be no chemical pollution. Every sweet cabbage is artificially caught insects, enjoying separate care, and cooperating with more scientific sunshine, irrigation and fertilization. Someone will pay for these sweet cabbages. Do you know how many sweet cabbages can be planted in an acre of land?" Dufo shook his head. He didn't know much about these things. Dulin continued: "One acre of land can be planted about 2,600, which is considered 2,500..."
At this moment, Dufo immediately took a breath. He looked at Dulin's hair with some surprise, "How does your head grow? If all you say can be done, the income of acre of land can exceed 200 yuan?" He calculated that 500 hectares are in three seasons a year, and the income alone may be... He trudged his fingers, it was millions anyway!
It’s the same farming process, why can this guy think of things that others can’t think of? So let Du Lin do what he uses his brain!
Seeing Dufo suddenly lost the motivation to continue the discussion, Dulin did not continue to say it. In fact, this money was not what he cared about the most. What he cared about most was how many people could kidnap these lands. If a mu of land could accommodate ten people for work, then a hectare would be 150 people, and a 500 hectare would be 75,000 people. Seventy-five thousand people might only occupy a few to ten percent of the employment of a city on the south or the east coast.
However, in the west, a city's population will not exceed one million at most. According to cities with a population of 500,000 or 600,000, this can almost meet the needs of a city for jobs. In other words, as long as it can be ensured that these agriculture and animal husbandry can keep the salary of these people. By then, all farms will be fully deployed in the west, and it can be said that Du Lin will become the "boss" of most people in the west. More than 30 to 40% of the people here are his employees.
At that time, he had the final say here.
Of course, it is necessary to dig a mine. The profitability of the mining area is far greater than that of agriculture and animal husbandry. The burden is smaller, the expenditure is less, and the income is more stable. It can help Dulin make up for the economic pressure brought by excessive hiring of farmers.
The workers on the farm were working hard, and it was almost February before they knew it. The tail of the cold winter was looming, the pace of spring was already ringing, and people began to take off their thick coats. Even in the desolate west, a trace of vitality appeared.
On the contrary, the city of Audis is still in the cold winter, and the winter in the north comes a little slower than the southwest. Early in the morning, in the conference room of the city hall, Donald signed a contract with Mr. Poly Cape, the representative of the Cape family, to fully develop the second phase of the city. This means that the circle around Audis will enter the construction stage. Outside the window is a crowd of people holding plaques and plaques and banners, but people's attention is focused on the room.
Poly is Soro's nephew and one of the heirs' contenders. The two heirs were assigned two jobs, one in the city of Audis and the other in the new special zone in the south. Poly is the head of the city of Audis. Whoever can bring more benefits to the family than the plan will be able to take the position of the head of the family. This is fair. The Cape family has its own evaluation method, and the dispute over the heirs has entered the final stage.
Poly stood behind the table facing reporters from local and foreign places, and exchanged contracts with Donald. With a series of spotlights flashing, he loudly announced, "From today, the Anthem Consortium will draw no less than 70 million yuan for the second phase of the city construction plan of Audis. We will surround the existing urban area and continue to expand one kilometer outward, striving to build Audis into one of the largest cities in the empire's hinterland."
"In this process, we will provide at least 180,000 jobs to solve some current problems and assist the city hall in Audis City. I believe that with the cooperation of the Anthem Consortium and the city hall, the city of Audis will once again take a new step..."
In fact, this statement should have been made logically by Mr. Donald, the mayor of Audis. But now he has defected to the Cape family. As the next heir to the head of the family, Poly is obviously much higher than him, and he must give in to Poly.
He looked at Poly with a complicated expression. His secretary gently pulled his sleeve behind him. He frowned and glanced back. His secretary pointed to the receiver that had been placed aside beside the telephone cabinet.
He took a few steps back, turned around and walked to the phone cabinet and picked up the receiver. The sound from the receiver made him feel as if he was barely able to do so, and he instantly walked to an extremely poor abyss.
