State of Goiás, another morning at the Goianis Mountain logging camp.
The weather is clear today, and the lumberjacks in the lumberyard have started another day of logging, shouting slogans in unison and working hard.
"Hey! Hey! We lumberjacks have power."
"The king is on board, the pigs are advancing by leaps and bounds, building Brazil, and people are responsible!"
"Logging, logging, Brazil is beautiful, logging, logging, worker power, logging, logging, long live the king."
"The king is supreme, everyone is equal, and if we work together to cut down trees, Brazil will be strong and prosperous!"
……
There are more than 5,000 logging personnel in the Goianis Mountains, and the personnel come from various sources.
In addition to the mainstream Portuguese, Indian, and mixed-race people in Brazil, there are also Italians, Orientals, Japanese, and even some black Brazilians.
Logging is hard work. In order to avoid riots caused by oppression, the Brazilian royal government personally built a large number of logging camps and sent personnel to manage and recruit personnel to develop them.
"Everyone works hard to cut down trees and create a better life."
"Our lumberyard is an important force in building the Kingdom of Brazil. Let us work hard."
"Brothers, work hard to cut down trees. Your efforts are for the better future of Brazil and for your own future.
The king and the government will not forget you, and your work will be rewarded."
"Brothers, work hard.
Today’s lunch is beef stew with potatoes, a large plate of chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bone soup, rice, noodles, bread and steamed buns as staple food.”
Looking at the lumberjacks in full swing, the lumberyard managers performed their duties competently, comforting and giving the workers blood.
Wearing a hard hat and a denim jacket, Deputy Director Youn, along with some managers and carrying buckets and biscuits, walked into the crowd, distributed materials to each work team, and encouraged work.
"Thank you, His Majesty the King, thank God!"
"Long live, everyone is responsible for building Brazil."
"Brazilian onboard!"
……
The Goianis Mountain logging camp has a large number of fir trees, pine trees, mangroves, grapefruit trees and other rich types of trees.
Brazil is a country with large forests and has many economic tree species. Nowadays, if we want to build a country, trees must be used in large quantities.
The five-year plan has been implemented. Brazil needs a large amount of high-quality timber, and the Kingdom has decisively opened a large number of logging farms.
The Goianis Mountain Timber Farm has a large area and is located in the Royal State of Goiás, a key construction state in the country. Therefore, it is currently the largest logging farm and gathering place for lumberjacks in Brazil.
Workers here mainly harvest various pine trees, fir trees, and some redwoods.
Pine and fir trees are excellent construction timber and must be used in national infrastructure construction, especially for railways. Railway sleepers, pine and fir are the best materials.
Brazilian mangrove mahogany is a precious wood used in furniture and musical instrument manufacturing. It is expensive, but it is not an important felling species in this lumberyard.
Located in the Goianis Mountains inland, even if a large amount of excellent redwood is collected, it is not convenient to export it.
The main collection areas of mahogany are still in coastal areas, where Brazilian mahogany is exported to Europe and the United States on a large scale.
The country develops a large number of lumber yards not only for construction, but also to provide jobs for more people.
During the Brazilian Republic, Brazil relied heavily on high-value economic planting industries such as coffee and suppressed other industries and commerce.
Under this situation, the urban population is unemployed and farmers go bankrupt and move to the city, creating a large number of unemployed people and landless poor people crowded on the edge of the city, forming a large number of slums.
Of course, today's slums are not as terrible as those in Brazil in later generations. The Republic was overthrown in less than 20 years and there was no time to accumulate larger slums
The Kingdom of Brazil estimates that the number of landless and unemployed poor in the cities is 6 million, accounting for 1/5 of the country's population. If serfs and landless farmers are included, the poverty rate exceeds 15 million, accounting for more than half of the country.
population.
Faced with a large number of poor and unemployed people, Tang Ning did not keep all these people on the coast. Although Tang Lin could arrange jobs for them on the coast, this was not good for the country, and guiding them to the inland was the right way.
Brazil's development must not be limited to one area, and inland areas must be developed.
In order to show its attitude towards developing the inland, the Royal Government of Brazil upgraded the state of Goiás to the capital level, and a new capital Brasilia will be built.
Agriculture is part of the development of the inland, but industry and urban development are also very important parts.
The people needed for this inland development and the development of agricultural collective farms were all liberated from the serfs enslaved by the original plantation owners, and some farmers with little land were added among them.
However, the inland agricultural model developed by Tang Ning is not a small cooperative model along the coast, but a large farm collective model.
This model is almost equivalent to the difference in agricultural production between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Northeast China.
The smallest collective farm has an area of 6,000 hectares and 90,000 acres of land, but it requires very few farmers. Including the technical and management personnel of the farmers' association, there are only more than 120 people, with an average of 750 acres per capita. It is a true large farm model.
p>
The cooperative village model in coastal states has limited land for rural cooperatives because the coastal area is small and the population is large. In addition, in order to encourage farmers to develop inland and consider future urban development, rural cooperative land is limited.
Coastal cooperatives have less land per person than inland collective farms, and each person can only be allocated 30 acres.
This policy of restricting coastal land is very effective. Although some peasant families cannot leave their hometown, many people are still attracted by the inland land reclamation plan, and among them, some are attracted by factories.
Collective farms and industrialization have diluted the coastal rural population and provided the country with a large amount of human resources.
Brazil has a population of about 30 million. Although it is absorbing a large number of immigrants, the number of immigrants will not increase in a short time, so now we can only use the currently available population.
Brazil is a large country and does not have rich population resources, so it can only limit its agricultural population.

Brazil's agricultural population is destined not to account for too much of the total population, and the king and government are also aware of this.
The government restricts the landless poor and unemployed people in cities from engaging in agriculture or entering the countryside. Through various methods, it tries its best to guide them into various industries and commerce.
Currently, those engaged in agriculture in Brazil are basically serfs who were previously enslaved by plantation owners and farmers with little land. Not many farmers who lost their land and moved to cities returned to agriculture.
In fact, many of these landless farmers have been away from agricultural production for a long time. Their agricultural experience has long been wasted, and it is not convenient for them all to turn to the countryside and engage in agriculture again.
Under the guidance of Tang Ning and the government, most landless farmers, like the urban unemployed, have turned to various industrial and commercial jobs.
Tang Ning is very grateful to the industrial revolution of the last century, which made progress in industry and agriculture, allowing him to implement his plan.
Otherwise, if the times do not change, Tangning will not be able to use fewer farmers to develop more land and carry out greater agricultural production.
The emergence and existence of advanced agricultural tools such as seeders, harvesters, and tractors, as well as advances in seeds, fertilizers, and drugs, have made the industrialized agriculture model possible.
If in ancient times, Tang Ning wanted to implement large-scale agricultural collective farms and coastal cooperative models, it would have been very difficult to implement.
The advanced agricultural models of Western Europe and the United States have really helped Brazil a lot.
Because there are ready-made models in Europe and the United States, Tangning and the Kingdom have less time to explore. While ensuring its agricultural advantages, Brazil can push more people into industrialization.
Brazil, as long as these agricultural models are appropriately changed, they can be used in Brazil according to local conditions.
