silent farm

Chapter 42 The Landlord's Normal Thinking
After buying bows and arrows, Li Sheng and Chen Bo left the workshop.

In the afternoon, Chen Bo took Li Sheng to a farm on the outskirts of the city, which was actually a small hunting ground.There are some farmed wild boars and some hares and other animals for members to hunt.There are also dedicated practice areas.

The friend Chen Bo brought him to meet also brought a friend here, and the two sides met to discuss the road construction project of Silent Farm.

The other party is a middle-level cadre of a state-owned road and bridge construction company in China, and he cannot make decisions, but he can report to the leader after receiving the information given by Li Sheng.Such a project worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars is enough to attract their leaders.

After staying for more than ten days, after signing a preliminary agreement with the domestic road and bridge construction company, Li Sheng planned to return to Brazil.

His purpose of coming here this time has basically been achieved.Chen Bo has agreed to cooperate with him.After signing the agreement, the construction company will send people to Silent Farm to conduct site surveys within a short period of time.

Chen Bo sent him to the airport, but he didn't find any large packages, so he asked, "Have you shipped all those bows and arrows?"

Those bows should have been delivered.But he didn't see that Li Sheng checked those things.Li Sheng didn't ask him to come forward to help transport those things out of the country before, so he couldn't help asking.

Of course Li Sheng would not tell her to take things with him.Just vaguely said things were checked in.

Chen Bo didn't doubt it either, but told him to get the certification of the green agricultural products as soon as possible after he returned to Brazil.

With a flight distance of [-] kilometers, Li Sheng's plane landed in Brasilia, but he didn't stay long. He continued to take the plane to Santarém, and then took Babur's plane back to the farm.Once back at the farm, he found that Thomas had started logging with some workers.

At this time, their logging is just to open the way, and they only develop a channel with a width of about 30 meters.Sometimes it's just a matter of cutting down one or two large trees and disposing of the smaller ones nearby.In fact, the most time-consuming part is to clean up those stumps.

He didn't expect Thomas to be so active. He found Thomas who was directing the workers to fell: "Is everything okay?" These workers are not real loggers, but farmers who are temporarily idle.

"Huaxia people are very smart and hardworking. They are already qualified loggers." Obviously, Thomas is very satisfied with the current work progress.

Li Sheng saw that they had been cutting for six or seven days, but they still only cut two or three kilometers. He said, "There are still not enough people. Do you need to hire some loggers?"

"Anthony has been recruited in Santarém. But there has not been much response yet."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I have already found a suitable construction company. They will enter the farm for geological survey in a short time. So this channel has to be opened as soon as possible."

"Understood." Anthony also knew that this time was the rainy season, and the working hours would be relatively shorter.And if Silent Farm wants to start construction in the dry season, the preparations can only be done in the rainy season.

Fortunately, the most rainy month has passed.They still have time to work.

"When there is a logging team, as long as the work is started in sections, it will be very simple to cut out a [-]-kilometer passage."

"Pay attention to safety." Li Sheng didn't want to hear news of casualties.

"Don't worry, safety is also my top concern. The workers also know that safety comes first."

Only then did Li Sheng say with satisfaction: "That's good." He paused, then said again. "Honestly, what do you think of growing grapes in the rainforest?"

"If it's for eating, it should be fine. If it's for brewing, I'm not good at brewing." Thomas spread his hands and said.Didn't we discuss it last time?
"Have you heard of anyone growing wine grapes in the rainforest?"

"It is said that there are people planting in the southeast of the Brazilian plateau. But I haven't heard of it in the rainforest." Thomas thought for a while before answering. "There is too much rain here, so it should be fine to grow grapes, but wine grapes seem to be better in places with less rain."

He is right, the world's famous wine producing areas are produced in areas with less rain.Australia, China, Central Europe, and the western United States.There is not enough rain.But not all dry places, like France.

It is not to say that all grapes cannot be grown in places with high temperature, for example, the temperature in Australia is quite high.Perhaps the only concern is the rainwater issue.

He thought for a while, and decided to go to the space first to see if there are grapes in any tropical area?If there is, it shouldn't be a problem to port it out.

"By the way? Is there cocoa growing in Brazil?"

“The Amazon is where cacao comes from!” Thomas laughs. "However, there are many mountainous areas."

Li Sheng was ashamed by his stupid question and left.

He finds Anthony, who is taking Chashi on a tour of the ranch.

Anthony jumped out of the car: "Hey, Lee. How is everything going with the hometown trip?"

"It's okay. The basic purpose has been achieved." Li Sheng carried Chaxi out of the car who was standing in the car and stretched out his hand to him, and then continued talking to him. "Do you know how to apply for Brazil's green food qualification?"

"You know we didn't do farms before, so these things are not clear. But I will find out."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then you can inquire. If you are too busy, you and Zhang Feng can handle this matter together."

Anthony smiled and said, "I've been in charge of the farm's logistics recently, and I don't have a specific job. I'll leave this job to me. I'll go to Belem tomorrow."

Li Sheng can't figure out the detailed process, but he also knows that if he wants to pass the organic food certification of the importing country, he must first pass the organic certification of the producing country.

The international standards for organic food seem to be very simple, the most basic requirement is to use organic fertilizers and organic pesticides.Silent Farm hardly uses chemical fertilizers or pesticides, which is definitely achievable.It is some other requirements that need to be consulted before they can be truly determined.

Speaking of which, he also needs to think about growing some organic green manure crops.

And the best organic green manure raw material should be algae.However, Silent Farm is not close to the sea, and relying on seaweed is a bit unrealistic.However, it is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are still many fresh water surfaces.If large freshwater algae are planted in these waters, it should also be a good choice.

However, the small lake inside the farm may not be suitable for growing those algae.This needs to be investigated.But that oxbow lake should also be usable.

The oxbow lake is tens of kilometers long, but its width is not very large, only twenty square kilometers at most.It seems a bit wasteful to leave it there all the time.

He thought of the woodland soaked by the river.After the silt was taken away by him, the water there was very deep, and it would be flooded in the dry season.It should be no problem to grow that kind of algae.Of course, the area there is not very large.But there are hundreds of square kilometers.And that algae grows fast enough.Should be able to produce enough green manure.

In addition, cattle can't finish the pasture in the pasture, so you can harvest some pasture and make green manure with those algae.

There is only one problem left here.That is the problem of the reproduction of those algae, which needs to be considered carefully.It would be a sin if the entire Amazon was thrown into an ecological catastrophe by introducing an exotic plant.

He needs to take a good look.However, the Amazon River claims to have [-] known species of fish, and there are many herbivorous animals, so it would not be a big problem.There are also many algae on the edge of the lake in the space, but they have never flooded, because many fish feed on this algae.

If that kind of algae is really flooding the Amazon, it might be possible to solve it by releasing some fish that feed on this algae.

Speaking of which, it seems that the lake in the farm can also raise some fish of that kind, and some algae can also be planted on it. If the algae multiply faster, you can also harvest some green manure.

It's just that the agricultural workers also need more to get busy.

Li Sheng thought about this matter, and found that it really affects the whole body.If you want to add a project through space, you have to consider the whole system.It is very brain-intensive.

But what Chen Bo said is right, Silent Farm is so big, if the products are relatively single, it is really a bit of a loss.

…………

Antony went to Belem, and Babur to pick up the laborers who would come to the farm and cut down a few trees.The task of taking care of Chaxi falls to the idle Li Sheng.

Li Sheng would really live up to the term "idle-doing".The main production tasks on the farm are managed by Zhang Feng.Babur is mainly responsible for security, Anthony is responsible for logistics and external affairs, and Thomas is responsible for the management of the environment and the jungle.As the boss, Li Sheng doesn't seem to care about anything.

It has to be said that he found a good manager.Zhang Feng is the most inseparable person on the farm now.The main production activities of the farm are rice planting and cattle grazing. The other is the breeding of small fragrant pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. Recently, the farm has also introduced some common pigs.But maybe because the scale of these farming is not very large, Zhang Feng can still manage it.

As for aquaculture in small lakes, little human management is required.No feed is needed and no management is required.

It has been raining a lot lately and driving around the ranch is not a good idea.Not to mention other things, the wheels pass through ruts half a foot deep, which seriously damages the pasture.

So this time Li Sheng wandered around the pasture on horseback.But Chashi is relying on him.Do not follow him.He had no choice but to hug the little girl to the horse.

His wandering route was along the river bank, but he didn't really play.Instead, we are investigating where they can be used to grow those algae.However, he was disappointed to find that it was not feasible to grow algae in these channels.Because these rivers do not belong to Silent Farm,
Now he has turned his attention to the species in the space.In fact, there are still many things that can be taken out of the space.For example, in such a large jungle, there is no problem in raising bees.And after some time, the meadow will start to bloom.And the flowering period is almost uninterrupted.
