silent farm

Chapter 288

Tia didn't know about Li Sheng's slander, so she just said coquettishly: "Xi Ran asked me to take some selfies and post them on Moments and the Internet. Ya Li suggested that I take some rare things on the farm, saying that would attract attention." She Seeing that Li Sheng still had a faint smile on his face, he thought he disagreed, so he said again. "Thomas also asked me to help promote the farm in Huaxia, so that more people can know about the farm."

"Then what are your specific plans?"

"I want to get some attention-grabbing photos, maybe using things like the Princess Gilolo, those helicopters, and some matsutake, truffles, and caviar. And going to other parts of the farm."

She was interested in playing, and Li Sheng didn't want to spoil her interest, so he said, "Then talk to Thomas and let him arrange it for you."

When Tia heard this, he agreed, jumped up and hung on his neck and gave him a sweet kiss, then slid off him, and ran out with a smile, leaving only one sentence: "I'll go tell Thomas right away."

The so-called plan is not as fast as the change, and the pasture sales of Silent Farm began to become tense.

After the Amazon Livestock Company revealed that it had opened the US market and received a large import order from Pakistan, the number of cattle farms that requested to purchase pasture from Silent Farm suddenly increased.However, the pasture harvesting speed of Silent Farm was far behind.

Although the weather is mostly sunny now, the weather is still not very stable.Occasionally there is a convective storm.But Fernando came to the farm and asked Li Sheng to provide at least twice as much grass as before.This made the staff of Silent Farm tense up.
Fortunately, Li Sheng had recruited a group of people to serve as residents before the town was built. Although these people were relatively old, they could still be used as labor force.So he asked people to recruit new workers, and at the same time let the Kapokoro people living on the platform who were still able to work urgently go to work.

But rain is still an important factor hindering pasture harvest.

Li Sheng and Babur flew around the farm in a helicopter to see how the layout can improve the efficiency of pasture harvesting on the farm.On the plane, Babur said to Li Sheng: "Li, in fact, we have relatively little convective rain here."

Li Sheng nodded to agree with him.The other places are all rainforests, and the evaporation is of course much larger than that of this grassland.Therefore, there is relatively little convective rain in the quiet pasture.

I just heard Babur continue to say loudly: "According to the statistics of this rainy season, the frequency of rain in the pasture has now dropped to only once in four days. This frequency will become lower and lower in the future. The time of rain usually does not More than two hours, there won't be a lot of water. I think we can harvest grass without stopping."

"Then harvest first." Li Sheng thought that what he said was not wrong.Two hours of rain a day certainly won't spoil the pasture. "When it rains, we need to do some testing. If the pasture has deteriorated, it can only be used as green manure."

"I'll let them pay attention." Babur also knew that the main income of the farm now comes from grass.If this amount of business goes bad, the farm's income will drop by more than 70%. "I think we can now consider dividing the grassland into zones, so that the harvesting efficiency should be higher."

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and felt that harvesting pastures mainly in the east would indeed put a lot of pressure on the growth of pastures.And before that, he also considered dividing these pastures into slices when the pasture sales volume was the largest.So he nodded and said, "Go back and think about how to divide the area. To improve production efficiency, you have to build some worker dormitories in these areas. You should also think about it."

"Understood. However, the purchase of harvesting machinery may increase a lot."

"That's not a problem." Judging from the amount of grass harvested in the past six months, the farm's maximum output is higher than they imagined. "The problem is that the warehouses are empty and some need to be built. If the harvest increases, the storage may not be able to keep up."

"We are mainly transporting pasture directly outside now. The stockpile is not too much. What needs to be considered is the stockpile for the next rainy season."

The speed of pasture transportation from the farm is much faster than before, thanks to the delivery system at Babur Lane before the rainy season begins.

"I will let Huaxia's construction company complete the construction of the warehouse before the next rainy season. They can come and dig the foundation after a while, and the construction period should not be a problem."

"It's better to build more hardened roads on the pasture. That's also good for the transportation of pasture."

Li Sheng nodded again.

This is another big project.

"In addition, if all the pastures start to be harvested, I am worried that the supply of green manure will not be enough." Babur said again when their plane flew over the green manure composting pond.

Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "There should be no problem. These green manures can be fermented in a week, but they are usually stored in the retting pool for about [-] days. The production capacity of the retting pool still has great potential to be tapped. If there are really signs of inadequacy, consider adding some more."

Heap retting green manure does not just need to have a pond.The production of freshwater kelp is key.The production of freshwater giant algae has not yet reached its limit, but it is almost there.If the retting pool is increased, the area for planting macroalgae will be increased.

Their plane landed at the airport again, and the two returned to the management area and entered Babur's office.Babur took out a map of the grassland, thought for a while and drew a few lines lightly with a pencil, and said, "I plan to divide the grassland in this way, can you hold it, Li?"

Li Sheng took a look and found that although he just drew it randomly, it was just right.He couldn't help giving Babur a high look: "Yes, we can divide according to this principle."

Babur nodded, rolled up the map and said: "Then we may need to recruit more workers and purchase more transportation and harvesting machinery. It will take a certain amount of time to train people, so in the near future The output will not increase too quickly."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Let the workers who harvested pastures run harvesters and balers, and the new workers specialize in moving pastures. You can calculate how many more workers are needed."

"That can indeed reduce the training time." Babur thought about it, and felt that Li Sheng's arrangement was the most reasonable.It is impossible for them to recruit so many skilled workers, they can only train workers who have been exposed to these machines before.They have been exposed to it and will learn it faster than others.

Li Sheng added: "Transportation drivers need a driver's license. I hope you recruit from the slums of big cities. The lovers of those football school students are given priority."

"They can also be considered for other positions. It's just that the number should be considered carefully." Babur understands Li Sheng's intention, which is nothing more than to control the population composition of Siparu Town in the future.It also let the Kaboclo people know that the Silent Farm is not that there are no workers except them.

In fact, almost every big city in Brazil has slum dwellers far exceeding the total number of Caboclos.As long as Silent Farm said it wanted to recruit workers, it might be able to recruit workers to meet the production needs of Silent Farm in one day.

With this source of workers, the Kapokoro people will feel pressure and will not make any unreasonable demands.

But he also understands that in a sense, Li Sheng built Xiparu Town because he wanted to have a good relationship with the Kapokoro people.Therefore, the residents of Siparu Town in the future must be mainly Kapokoro and Indians.

"There won't be too many drivers, and they will all be recruited from Sao Paulo this time. I will say hello to Raimondo. The Nonadong family should be willing to help with this small favor." Li Sheng said.

Although that would be a debt of favor, Li Sheng is not afraid of not being able to repay this small favor, and he can also have a close relationship with Raimondo.

"I'm worried they're going to put someone in."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I'll let Thomas pay attention."

Babur nodded and said nothing.

Li Sheng also said: "Transportation of pasture is the most important cargo for the farm now. The workers are also working hard. You should pay attention to the safety situation. Try to let the workers get enough rest."

"I understand." Babur knew that the pier really needed to pay attention to safety issues.The current port loading and unloading equipment on the farm is relatively primitive, and the labor intensity of the workers is relatively high.It is also more prone to accidents.

"In terms of pasture transportation, you should contact Mosu more. In addition, Siparu has more things to do. You can try to arrange some simple things on the farm to the assistant. Try to train people to avoid delays. Your time as full-time mayor."

Babur smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "That's nothing else. I'll go first."

After leaving Babur's office, Li Sheng went through two doors and entered Zhang Feng's office.

"Boss, are you here?"

Li Sheng saw what he was writing, sat down and asked, "Old Zhang, are you busy?"

"I'm working on the harvest plan for this crop and the sowing plan for the next crop." Zhang Feng asked as he put down his pen to make tea. "Boss, do you need something from me?"

"Recently, the farm plans to recruit a group of new workers. I would like to ask, is there any need here?"

Zhang Feng said while making tea: "The production I manage, the flow of workers is relatively frequent, so I can't tell for a while. I'll ask about the situation later."

Now the pasture production of the farm has been handed over to Babur, who is in charge of the production. Some workers are relatively fixed, but some are mobile.For example, no one will watch the planting all day long, and he is also in charge of bamboo shoots and bamboo stalks. These two seasonal staff are highly mobile.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Then let your assistants do the statistics. But when you need people and when you don't need them, you can make overall arrangements. If you need to increase the number of people, we can discuss it later."

"Okay." Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Now he manages the most things, but also has many assistants.Huang Bin is in charge of cattle herding, and Cheng Dong is in charge of honey farming.There are also special personnel responsible for mushroom production.What he directly manages is planting.

There are two other things that are also managed by others. For example, the wine field is managed by Jose, and the pig raising is managed by Ding Jiaqiang.

But he was still the one with the heaviest workload on the farm.

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Old Zhang, you'd better train a few more assistants. When you train them, you don't have to be so tired. Then you can just take care of it."

Zhang Feng poured him a cup of tea with a smile, and said, "I don't have that ability. They are all in charge of their own work now. I'm actually in charge of coordinating the manpower and managing the fields. That's all. It's already making my scalp tingle."

Li Sheng originally thought that he was getting old, and if he took care of so many things, he would not be able to handle it.There will definitely be someone more suitable for his position in the future, and how to arrange him is also a problem.

However, after hearing what he said now, Li Sheng had a good idea.It's just not the time to say
