Homo sapiens

Chapter 51 Industrial Layout ([-])

With Homo sapiens striking out, [-] agricultural cooperatives were quickly established, and soon more than [-] farmers participated, and this number is still increasing.

The joining of these farmers has brought 27 mu of mountainous land, 6.3 mu of paddy field, 2.8 mu of dry land, and 5436 mu of fish ponds to Haitian Agriculture.

Of course land, these are just trivial matters.

You must know that the Fernando family and the Lopez family are the real big landlords.

Take Panay Island, the base camp of the Lopez family, as an example. The plantation area under its control is very large, reaching 1736 square kilometers, which is equivalent to about one-seventh of the entire Panay Island area.

The Fernando family's plantation in southern Luzon also covers an area of ​​about 2245 square kilometers.

The plantations and other agricultural land controlled by these two families in various parts of Luzon have a total area of ​​5571 square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-fiftieth of the total area of ​​Luzon.

Not to mention the small families and small farmers affiliated to their family.

Haitian Agriculture will naturally not let go of such a large piece of land.

Panay Island at this time.

Led by the local head of the Lopez family, Zhang Wei inspected the island with the second largest area of ​​rice fields in Luzon, where rice and sugarcane are mainly grown.

At present, the total rice output in Luzon is about 1700 million tons, and the rice self-sufficiency rate is only 79%.

In addition, there are about 1000 million tons of corn.

Based on Luzon's 1.02 million population, the total grain output of 2700 million tons is equivalent to about 260 kilograms per capita. This per capita output is enough to ensure food and clothing.

The problem is that the staple food in Luzon is rice, and some wheat flour is also eaten, while corn is exported.

Luzon produces about 2700 million tons of grain annually, exports about 2000 million tons of grain, and imports about 800 to 900 million tons of grain.

This is very embarrassing.

Even with the introduction of Huaguo's hybrid rice, Luzon is still unable to be self-sufficient in grain. The core reason is that big landlords and businessmen are unwilling to increase the area of ​​rice planted. They would rather grow corn that Luzon people do not eat.

Then these guys cooperate with ABCD to import cheap rice and wheat flour and sell them to urban residents at a high price, earning high profits.

As for food security, what does it matter to big landlords and big businessmen?

On the contrary, they are eager for food crises to occur every day, and they just take the opportunity to drive up prices.

The Fernando family and the Lopez family were also members of this comprador landlord system.

It's just that Homo sapiens has taken over the inheritance of these two families. If it remains the same as before, it can only be a dog for America.

Li Qingye often laments that he is not cold-blooded and cruel enough, and seems out of place in this world.

But why did he take the initiative to adapt to the world?

Why not the world to adapt itself?

As long as you are strong enough, the world will revolve around you.

The current series of actions of Haitian Agriculture is to improve Luzon's food self-sufficiency rate and establish its own system.

The arable land area of ​​Panay Island is very vast, but the rice planting area is lower than the sugarcane planting area, mainly because the profit of sugarcane is high enough.

"Cass, in our land on Panay Island, except for the plantations in the mountains, how many rice fields and sugarcane fields are there?" Zhang Wei wore a straw hat and looked at the endless paddy fields in front of him.

Kas Lopez took out a document: "82731 hectares of sugar cane fields, 41108 hectares of rice fields."

Zhang Wei shook his head: "Too little, too little rice area, cut down 4 hectares of sugarcane fields, and replanted hybrid rice."

"Uh..." Cass swallowed, and then reminded: "General Manager, the rice yield is too low. If we increase the planting area, the market price may be even lower this year, and the company may lose money."

"So what if we lose money? We can afford to lose money, and you think sugar cane is a huge profit?" Zhang Wei laughed.

As the general manager of Haitian Agriculture, does he know that with the expansion of Haitian area and the diversification of genetically modified Eucheuma, there are now genetically modified Eucheuma rich in sucrose.

If sugarcane is not canceled all at once, it will cause a fierce chain reaction in the market. He wants to change all the remaining 4 hectares of sugarcane fields into rice fields.

Cooperatives, plantations, and arable land suitable for rice cultivation have all been replanted with a large amount of hybrid rice. The rice planting area is planned to reach 30 hectares, and it is planned to plant two seasons.

It is estimated that 200 million tons of rice will be produced this year, and some rice and corn will be purchased from farmers to stabilize the price of grain in the control area.

As for whether ABCD will fight a price war.

With the urgency of these guys, there is a high probability that they will deliberately dump the rice at a low price with the intention of destroying the rice industry of Haitian Agriculture.

It’s just that Zhang Wei is not afraid, because Haitian Agriculture can afford to lose money, and the worst is to seek compensation from other industries. For example, the head office recently assigned the eel industry to Haitian Agriculture.

At this time, Homo sapiens company is only responsible for technology research and development, process improvement, and production of key raw materials.

For example, eel sex hormones in the eel industry are only controlled by the Homo sapiens company headquarters, and subsidiaries are not qualified to get involved.

Facing Zhang Wei's dominance, Cass could only bite the bullet and agree.

Zhang Wei did not leave Panay Island immediately, because he still needs to take a boat from Panay Island to the Cuyo Islands in the waters west of Panay Island.

The Cuyo Islands are more than 90 kilometers away from Panay Island. Regardless of the small land area, the shallow sea area is as high as tens of thousands of square kilometers.

This small archipelago is also the sphere of influence of the Lopez family. Cass brought Zhang Wei and his party to Cuyo Island, the main island of the archipelago.

The professionals who followed are also testing the salinity, water temperature, water depth of the surrounding sea area, and the sea area covered by coral reefs.

Mingkai Lopez, the mayor of the island, introduced the situation of the Cuyo Islands to Zhang Wei.

"Does the hydrological conditions here meet the requirements?" Zhang Wei asked the marine farming experts who came with him.

The other party nodded: "It meets the cultivation conditions of Eucheuma, as long as it avoids part of the coral reef sea area, you can build a floating island-style sea field here."

The floating island-style sea field planned by Haitian Agriculture is indeed to build fixed floating islands in areas where the seawater depth does not exceed 20 meters.

As for how to build it, it needs to use the coral cement prepared for Aoba Group. Part of the specially prepared coral cement can quickly condense in seawater and is extremely resistant to salt-alkali and seawater corrosion.

At present, Coral Building Materials has secretly transformed a cement factory into a production base of coral cement, with an annual output of about 240 million tons of coral cement.

After evaluating the information at hand, marine farming experts reported to Zhang Weihui: "According to my estimation, the area suitable for transformation in the entire Cuyo Islands waters is about 800 to 1000 square kilometers."

Zhang Wei thought for a while, and then ordered: "Then set aside a piece of sea area as an experimental field! The area is about 50 hectares. Researcher Chen, you are in charge of this project here."

"no problem."

This project is an experimental one. After all, there are still a lot of tidal flats and saline-alkali land along the coast, so there is no need to enter the shallow sea all at once.

The sea fields in the shallow sea, and even the sea fields in the deep sea, actually have technical reserves that will definitely be used in the future.

In addition to arranging a sea field experiment project in the Cuyo Islands, Zhang Wei also asked the local area to build a garbage recycling station and a gas distribution station. This project is not from Haitian Agriculture, but from Emerald Energy.

As a small archipelago with a small population and backward development, the population is only about 2.7, and basic services such as power supply and water supply are basically zero.

But in the future, once shallow sea fields can be built on a large scale, the economy here will surely take off, and the hidden emerald energy and coral construction are ready to come to seize the opportunity.
