Chapter 210: Way Out (Part 2)

"Section Chief, it looks like the soil condition is a little bad."

Larry looked at Ye Chunwang who was squatting on the ground with a helpless expression. At first, the land allocated to the family was the most fertile in the city, and the crops grown were also of the best quality. But now looking at the land that has gradually died, Ye Chunwang felt a little agitated. have no choice.

These abandoned lands are already showing signs of desertification. Many microorganisms in the soil that are conducive to the growth of organisms have died. If this continues, this land will die little by little.

The two continued to look at the land along the path, and saw some greenery not far away. Ye Chunwang ran over. It was dark, and there were weeds growing next to the crops. The crops seemed to be mixed, good and bad. Ye Chunwang squatted under a crop and grabbed it. A handful of dirt was thrown at the fingertips.

"It looks like it hasn't been watered in more than three days."

Most of these fields with demarcation marks are the land of small families. Many small families are no longer able to take care of these lands. Ye Chunwang remembers that the last time he came here was a few years ago. He was invited by a big family to talk about some agriculture. relevant knowledge.

At that time, all the family members who managed farmland gathered together, and Ye Chunwang explained a lot of things to them in detail.

Ye Chunwang likes such lectures very much, including in colleges of business science. Ye Chunwang often goes there to give lectures. He only hopes to cultivate more agricultural talents for the city. After all, everyone has to eat. If there are no basic agricultural talents, everyone will All will starve.

Private planting is not allowed in the city. Ye Chunwang feels that it is time to improve this point. In fact, the most important thing is that he is afraid that businessmen will use their brains wrongly. After all, if a large number of people are planting in the city, the businessmen will plant them. You can make money by purchasing all the crops that come out.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Larry nodded. He looked at the condition of the land while writing the plan. Now there was more trouble, because many families' land had begun to desertify. It was not difficult to solve the desertification, but it required a lot of manpower and material resources.

But now, because of the project to transport the frozen soil from the barrier area to the city for planting soil, it only takes a little time and manpower to solve the desertification problem of these lands. It can be done quickly by getting some processing equipment. solve.

"One day may not be enough for the section chief. It will take at least three days."

Ye Chunwang thought for a while and then nodded.

"But it has to be done quickly."

The two gradually arrived at the Ji family's planting site. The lights were on in the farm not far away, and the crops looked in good condition. At this time, they could still hear some sounds coming from the farm.

"Only big families can continue to manage farmland."

Ye Chunwang was a little helpless. He planned to talk to some family members tomorrow, but which family he should talk to first was a question.

"Why don't the section chief ask the Angus family to help summon those families?"

After Larry finished speaking, Ye Chunwang shook his head.

"Their family is not in a good situation right now. After all, the Angus family accounts for the majority of the bottom investment and the investment in the agricultural base in the barrier area."

Larry understood what Ye Chunwang meant. Families that could not receive investment would naturally have resistance to the Angus family. Larry thought for a moment and said.

"Why don't you find the Eberron family?"

Ye Chunwang nodded. It is true that the Ai Bolun family is more suitable now. After coming over to see the appearance of the land in person tonight, Ye Chunwang was a little worried. It would be a waste for so much planting land to be abandoned.

In the past, Ye Chunwang had vaguely asked the opinions of some family patriarchs, and most of them were unwilling to hand over the land. This issue has been delayed to this day, and now it has to be resolved.

The planting area of ​​the entire family area is about 100 square kilometers, which is already quite a large area. It can provide a very large amount for the city's vegetable market. The output can reach more than 300 tons, and the planting cycle is short, with an average of ten days. Mature vegetables, so that more than 1,000 tons of vegetables can be produced in a month.

"Let's keep walking around, Larry, aren't you sleepy yet?"

Larry smiled and nodded. He knew Ye Chunwang was anxious now, and then Larry directly picked up the phone.

"I'll call the secretary-general."

Ye Chunwang nodded, and his originally tense expression became relaxed. The two continued walking along the path between the fields. Ye Chunwang inspected the conditions of the land and crops along the way.

Michelle's phone was connected at this time.

"Secretary-General, I'm sorry for calling you so late."

"Um."

Michelle's voice was slightly suspicious, and Larry didn't beat around the bush and explained the matter directly.

"I know, I will talk to my father about it, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary General."

The phone was hung up, Larry nodded at Ye Chunwang, and the two began to return. Along the way, Larry talked about a lot of things about the project. Ye Chunwang listened in detail. If there were some doubts, the two discussed it.

By the time he arrived at the lift, Larry had already completed the plan. As long as he and his family members reached an agreement tomorrow, he could start to transform the land immediately.

"Section Chief, have you been too anxious recently? In fact, this matter can wait until the output of the agricultural base returns to normal..."

"Larry, why do you think people have hope?"

Larry replied with a smile.

"Of course it's because everyone wants to strive for the top."

Ye Chunwang nodded and said.

"The hope now is huge for the entire city, and if such huge hopes continue to pile up without seeing the realization of the hope, then this huge hope will turn into despair."

Larry nodded. It is true that the city finally has hope now. If there is a problem with food, the hope that was finally built up will turn into despair in an instant.

"If we want this hope to continue, there must not be any problems with the food. We must do our best to increase food production. Larry, you will go to the Eastern Guard Station tomorrow and ask them to send more manpower. One day The speed of 1,000 people coming in is still too slow. It would be better to increase it to 10,000 people a day.”

Larry looked at Ye Chunwang in surprise. He felt that Ye Chunwang seemed to be a little younger now. His face was always filled with the vitality that a young man should have. He would come here so late at night to check on the spot.

"Section Chief, I will consult with Xima. We really have to do our best."

1am

Michelle stepped onto First Avenue. She had just finished work and had not been home for a long time. Some people could still be seen on the street because the Huosen family held a large banquet today and many members of the family were still at the banquet. Carnival.

Michelle quickly came to the door of the house and jumped in. She didn't intend to wake up the others. Her father should also have gone to the Huosen house tonight, but Charles would not play so late.

Gu Yu

Michelle walked quickly to the front of the mansion, and many patrolling bodyguards immediately came over. Because there were biochemically modified people attacking the family area before, the bodyguards in the entire family area now patrol every night. Until dawn.

"Miss, why are you back?"

One of the bodyguards asked, Michelle asked as the other bodyguards stood aside respectfully.

"Is my father asleep?"

"Master just went to bed."

Michelle nodded and walked into the mansion. Some servants also gathered around and asked Michelle if she needed supper or anything else. Michelle shook her head and walked directly to her father's room. Two mutant bodyguards They were talking and laughing in the small living room across the room.

"Miss."

After Michelle hesitated for a moment, she knocked on the door.

After a while, Charles opened the door. He was yawning and wearing pajamas. He seemed a little angry because he had just been woken up, but after seeing his daughter, Charles sobered up.

"Come in and tell the kitchen to bring up some side dishes to go with the wine."

Michelle hesitated, but still nodded. After entering the house, Charles went to the bathroom to change clothes, and Michelle sat at the table.

"What's wrong with my daughter? Did something happen if she came here so late?"

After Michelle shook her head, she began to talk to Charles about the family's planting land. Charles looked embarrassed.

"Land is the last bit of privilege our family has in this city. If even the land is taken away, this would be unacceptable to most family members."

Michelle frowned slightly and looked at Charles's troubled look. She knew that what Charles said was the most important thing in the family at present. If the family's planting land was taken away, this would be a problem for most people in the family. , it is indeed difficult to accept.

"If we really do this, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among most families. Even though many families have been unable to maintain their cultivation over the years, for the family, the land has been given by the gods since 100 years ago. Theirs is their property. Some declining families, such as the Chloe family, may agree, but most families don't pay so much rent. No matter how high your rent is, it can't be sky-high."

Michelle nodded, this is the difficult part, and if you agree to any special conditions for the family, I am afraid that it is not allowed under the current situation.

"I can help convene, but I can't mention this matter. It can only be raised by Ye Chunwang. After all, it is his request."

Michelle nodded. At this time, the room was opened, and a dining cart was pushed in. The food was very rich and varied. Although Michelle was a little hungry, she didn't want to eat so much food so late.

"You've eaten too little, my daughter. It's rare to come here tonight. We chat and eat. It's been a long time since we, father and daughter, have sat together and drank like this."

Leasing the family's planting land can indeed bring great help to the city's food warehouse, but it is not very friendly to the family, and it is impossible to directly distribute the profits from the planting land to the family.

Because many larger families have formed unique industrial chains in the family's planting areas, many upper-class restaurants use the highest quality crops produced in the family's planting areas. The price of these grains is much higher. based on market price.

This is also one of the privileges of families. It is only sold in some families' own properties or designated cooperative catering places. It will not affect the price of food in the city. Even a lot of food in the General Affairs Department is supplied by some families. Among them, supply The largest is Angus' house.

The planting land of the Charles family is, firstly, supplied to several restaurants owned by the Charles family, and secondly, it is supplied to the family members for food.

The output of meat and vegetables in the planting area is very stable, especially the meat is cultured with the best nutrient solution, including some fish, which are relatively fresh.

Once the 12th department takes over, the family's planting land will completely become the same as the agricultural base, and many crops that have been carefully cultivated slowly will disappear. This is difficult for the family members who are used to eating special food to accept for a while.

"Although it is difficult, I think it is necessary to take back the planting land."

Charles was a little helpless, watching his daughter eat some food with satisfaction. These ingredients are carefully selected and of the highest quality, and they are made by top-notch chefs, so the taste is naturally good.

"Daughter, I think it's better to forget about this matter. This will affect the foundation of the family. Although there are many abandoned fields, they will not exceed 20% of the family's overall planting land at most. Those are the lands of small families who have no extra money to hire people to take care of the farmland. Most of their planting land is also close to the agricultural base."

"What if I let that girl propose it?"

Charles looked at Michelle in confusion, and then said helplessly.

"Le Xiao!"

Michelle nodded.

"I'm not sure about this, but it should be much better than Ye Chunwang coming to ask in person. Then I will call the meeting tomorrow in the name of Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13?"

Michelle nodded.

"Okay, let's try. Before the banquet starts tomorrow, we will prepare everything, including related reports."

Charles nodded helplessly.

"I know. Let's drink some more daughter."

At 1 pm the next day

Le Xiao was lying in the dormitory with a groggy head. Although she wanted to take a nap, she couldn't fall asleep. This afternoon was the last day of talks with Asgard. The list of visitors from Asgard and the number of visitors had been officially confirmed, including some fruits and other crops and industrial products brought.

The other party also agreed to the proposal of Brilliant City to strictly review the things brought. The conversation between the two sides was still very pleasant, and Le Xiao was also very excited.

"Let's watch the news."

Le Xiao just turned on the light and shadow screen and was surprised.

Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13, called the family members to Charles's house for a gathering. There would be important things to announce.

"What's going on?"

Le Xiao was puzzled, but soon there was a knock on the door. Le Xiao opened the door and it was Wu Lei.

"The Secretary General asked you to come over."

Le Xiao felt the pressure instantly, and she could only point at the light and shadow screen.

"I didn't call it at all."

"Hey, let's go."

Wu Lei dragged Le Xiao away.
