Li Yuan always felt that something was wrong.

Li Yuan has always wanted to have better enjoyment and better health. Why is it that now that he is close to financial freedom, there are more and more messy things?

At this moment, Cheng Mo also felt a little confused. As a newly retired leader of a farm affiliated with the Construction Corps, he suddenly received an order from his old leader to build a farm in Africa?

To be honest, if it was foreign aid, Cheng Mo could understand it. But I heard that it was a private act, which is a bit weird, right? If you don't listen to the wind, it will be rain, so you have encountered some kind of liar, right?

As an old man who has worked on a farm all his life, Cheng Mo certainly knows that developing a piece of wasteland from scratch is indeed easy, but also extremely difficult. On the one hand, it requires a huge investment of financial resources, and on the other hand, there are also considerations

The influence of the surrounding environment and social politics. As long as a certain condition is not met, it will be a failure!

For example, in a turbulent environment, it takes a whole year to plant a piece of land, but it only takes a few hours to destroy the crops on it.

Of course, there are other factors.

Just like in European and American countries, due to the monopoly position of several major grain merchants, they control pricing power through slaughterhouses and food processing plants, making small farms miserable. In the end, they are desperate, leading to a large number of abandonments, which is euphemistically called

fallow?

The more extreme one is the book.

Just after World War II, due to the large number of unemployed people in Japan, a reclamation order was issued, and all the public wasteland developed was owned by the country. In the end, the production of staple food in Japan could not only meet domestic demand, but also be exported in large quantities? Do you dare?

letter?

You know, this was still an era before pesticides and fertilizers were widely used.

Unexpectedly, a farmers' association finally came together, claiming to fight for the interests of farmers. Then...a large number of small farmers went bankrupt and moved into the cities. The production of staple grains in Japan can only meet about 20% of domestic demand... (laughing and crying)

It can be seen that there is no shortage of land on a global scale. If it is fully developed regardless of cost, not to mention 4 billion people (the total population of the world at that time), even 40 billion can be fed.

Therefore, if you want to develop wasteland, the key is to have two strong fists. One is to have your own sales market. Otherwise, without pricing power, you will be killed by those international grain merchants sooner or later; the other... everyone should understand.

This is like the African continent. There is so much high-quality land there, but the total population is not very large, but there is still famine every year? It's because both fists are so weak.

So, private individuals? Do they have that energy?

In particular, Cheng Mo also heard that the relationship was through someone in the village who was a relative of the old leader's old comrade? Isn't this a bit funny? Maybe it was just bragging at the wine table, and it was simply unreliable?

But on the other hand, the current construction corps is also having a hard time. Since the next generation is basically adults, and there was no family planning in the past, there are many children in the family. As a result, there are also a large number of unemployed young people in the corps.

Moreover, the Construction Corps is basically a semi-closed small society with few channels for external communication and relatively long distances. Unlike other unemployed young people, it is very difficult for them to find jobs in society.

Just like Cheng Mo himself, he was only in his early forties, which was a good time for him to be in the prime of life. However, in order to replace his children, he had no choice but to retire.

At this moment, Cheng Mo couldn't help but feel a hint of pessimism. Maybe this time he was treating a dead horse as a living horse?

The Construction Corps is having a hard time!

…

However, even if he was mentally prepared, Cheng Mo was still disappointed when he saw Li Yuan. This young man... was not even 20 years old, right?

"Hello, Director Cheng. It's been a hard journey."

"Hello, Comrade Li Yuan..."

"Haha, call me Xiao Li, it doesn't matter."

"Haha, then call me Lao Cheng." Although he no longer had any hope, Cheng Mo could still pull off the tricks on the scene.

"Okay, Lao Cheng, let's make a long story short. We currently have the development rights for a land of more than 3,000 hectares in the Republic of Vera. Since it is very close to the water intake point of the water plant, it cannot suffer industrial pollution and can only engage in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Development…”

Now that formal negotiations have begun, although he thinks the possibility of success is very small, Cheng Mo quickly got into work: "Xiao Li, since you are ready to develop, what is your budget? Don't get me wrong, there are many ways,

There are few ways to do it. It also depends on the geographical location of the farm. After all, with such a large investment, no one wants to lose money, right?"

At present, the prices of international agricultural products are quite sluggish. To be honest, opening a farm is really not a good choice. There is no way, the big food empire has not started to exert its efforts yet.

But Li Yuan doesn't care about this at all. In the short term, it can be used as a hot spot for speculation in wild mountains and clear springs; in the long term, the farm is the best asset. After a few decades, what domestic agricultural products will not be sold?

"Lao Cheng, don't worry about the budget. Let's do this! I'll give you 50,000 US dollars first, and you can organize a team to inspect and come up with a construction plan for the farm. The specific budget will be determined by you at that time."

"Ah?" Cheng Mo was surprised. This meeting is worth 50,000 US dollars? We haven't even started talking yet. "Xiao Li, what is your goal?"

"It's very simple. We need food, a lot of food. Let me tell you the truth! In this project, food is more important than money!"

Let’s not talk about future food security, which is too far away from Li Yuan. On the African continent, food is actually the most important hard currency.

You know, the most important local staple food is cassava. Although the yield of cassava is very high, it is quite troublesome to handle, otherwise it will be slightly toxic. Therefore, other countries do not eat it at all and only taste it occasionally.

The kind of tapioca pearls in bubble milk tea.

.

"What about the personnel arrangements? Are they all from China?"

"Domestic and local people are half and half. At the beginning, your construction corps will be the main one. If possible in the future, some personnel may also be arranged here."

"Okay then! How do we calculate the remuneration? Let's talk about it first. The Construction Corps is still a military establishment. We can't go abroad in the name of the military. This involves foreign policy."

"You can choose between two methods. One is a joint venture between the two parties, where you provide personnel and technology, and we provide funds to establish a private farm management company; the other is that you join our company as an individual. Both options are available."

"What about security? I heard that Africa is not very peaceful."

"The situation in Vera is not bad. If you are really worried, you can pick up some self-defense weapons when the time comes."

"Choose a weapon?"

"Yes! We have machine guns and rifles. If you know how to use them, we can give you mortars and rocket launchers. But Vera probably won't need them."

"Ah? Machine gun and rocket launcher?" Cheng Mo felt unbelievable. Is this a self-defense weapon?

"What's so strange about this? If you register, you will be able to legally hold weapons." In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't register. Vera's army is still the warehouse security guard of ys (Africa).

"Wait a minute, Xiao Li." Cheng Mo felt a little confused, "Didn't you mean to open a farm?"

"Yes! But there are very few people there, and there are so many wild animals. Although I don't know how to fight, I can't help but use guns. Otherwise, why would I ask you to build a corps?"

"..."

…

When bidding farewell to Cheng Mo, he saw that his eyes had lost focus and he still looked distracted. But in the end, he still agreed to Li Yuan's request. No matter what, if he could find a way out for the children of the Corps, why

What about enjoying it but not doing it?

As for risks? Are there any risks that the Construction Corps is afraid of? They are just trying to guard against the torrent of steel over there, so why should they be afraid of a few black worms? As long as... they have enough self-defense weapons.

Okay! In fact, Cheng Mo also thought too much. The Republic of Vera is really not a war-torn place. Plus with Harden's care, there is almost no danger.

In any case, whether it is deception or planning; whether it is a whim or a clever plan; whether it is a grassroots team or a regular army, Li Yuan's various undertakings have finally begun to officially set sail, heading towards an unpredictable future...

At this time, Li Yuan was happily staying at home, chatting about trivial matters at home.

"Yuanyuan." Grandma peeled the pods with a hint of worry on her face, "Your aunt's life should be similar to Qinqin's. What if they even demolish the house? What should I do when I return home in the future?"

Li Yuan was happy: "You can pay as much fine as you need. Our family is not short of money."

In fact, many things on the Internet were just rumors. If the fine was really paid in full, drastic measures such as steakhouse and cow-stewing would not be used. The only thing to worry about is forced sterilization. But Yutou'ao Village is not afraid of this at all. There are even

There are no village cadres. It can be said to be a treasure of Feng Shui for extraordinary beings.

Mom Zhang Zhen also disagreed: "Mom, you can live in peace! If this is still a girl, we will continue to have babies."

Judging from her mother's tone, Gu Yuqin's situation was not good, and she should have already had the idea of ​​giving up until she gave birth to a boy.

Uncle Zhang Gui also smiled: "Mom, actually we live quite well at my sister's place. Even if we pay a fine, it's not nothing..."

Recently, Yeshan Farmers has started to purchase wild mountain grapes, and has given Zhang Gui the responsibility. Although this is barely considered official business, is there any private benefit? So my uncle should have made a lot of money.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Grandma, actually you don't have much in the mountains. My uncle and aunt stay here."

"How can this be done? We can't stay at my sister's house forever?" The old lady still had the same old concept.

Li Yuan said: "At that time, let my uncle contract a valley and grow grapes. If other families grow grapes in the future, let my uncle be responsible for the acquisition here. There is a big winery behind it, and it is a business that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods."

Zhang Gui and his aunt looked at each other, and they were obviously a little moved. The old lady was a little hesitant: "What about you?"

"Our family's land will also be handed over to my uncle. Next year Qinqin and I will take our children to the capital. Mom and Yunyun can go together if they want."

Zhang Zhen couldn't wait to say: "How can you do it without me? Can you two take care of the baby? Don't you want me to be the mother?"

Zhang Gui asked: "Yuanzi, are you really ready to go to the capital?"

"Alas! I can't help but go. It's been delayed for a whole year." Li Yuan sighed, "And uncle, after we leave, we can only rely on you for family affairs, and only grandma and you can rest assured. But

In the future, you should try your best to run to the city. Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about Zhao Di and Laidi."

"I know that. Who doesn't want to be a city dweller?"

Noticing the resentful look in Gu Yuqin's eyes, Li Yuan chuckled: "Qinqin, don't worry, I will also feel relieved about your family. Both brothers-in-law will find a good job for them."

Different from his previous life, Li Yuan has several more relatives, and he still needs to make good arrangements. Anyway, there are still many "small businesses" that he doesn't like, and he can just throw one or two of them to them when the time comes.

"Qinqin, how have you been feeling these past few days?" Zhang Zhen asked with concern.

"I don't feel anything, it's fine!" Before she finished speaking, Gu Yuqin frowned slightly, "Mom, I seem... to have a little stomachache."

"Ah? Lie down first, hurry up! Yuanyuan, hurry up and call someone! Qinqin may be about to give birth."
