After picking up Master Zhou, Ye Mo drove to the town government of Hongshan Town.
Hongshan's move to dismantle the town and transform it into a street office was not done with any fanfare. The current street office area is the former town government compound, and even the signboard has not been removed.
"Mayor Zhao." Ye Mo shouted when he came to the office of the sub-district office director.
"I am the director now." Zhao Hai smiled and said.
The signs outside have not been changed, but all the signs inside have been changed.
"I'm here to talk about the coconut seedlings." Ye Mo said, "Can I send the coconut seedlings over tomorrow?"
"No, we will send a car to load it." Zhao Hai said, "Has coconut trees been planted in your village?"
"More than three thousand plants were planted," Ye Mo said.
Coconut trees are planted at the doorsteps of houses at the bottom of the mountain, and some are planted on the roadside.
"The coconut trees planted on the roadside need to be watered regularly. Is there a sprinkler truck in the town?"
"The water sprinkler truck is in the red grid. How can we afford a sprinkler truck here?" Zhao Hai was still a little uncomfortable with the merging of Hongshan into the red grid and said: "Don't worry, we will regularly provide coconut trees here in the future."
water."
"Coconut trees are still in the experimental stage. If the newly cultivated coconut seedlings are suitable for large-scale planting here, they can be promoted in the future," Ye Mo said.
Zhao Hai nodded.
After chatting for a while, Ye Mo said goodbye and left.
Zhao Hai got up and sent them downstairs. Looking at the two people leaving, Zhao Hai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This merger was so sudden that Zhao Hai was not prepared at all. He said it was a merger and it was a merger.
The coconut grove in Gaoshanping gave Zhao Hai hope of revitalizing Hongshan. If given enough time, he believed that Hongshan would definitely be more famous than Hongge in the future.
After leaving the town, Ye Mo drove to the villa.
There are only Uncle Xiaomian and Auntie Xiaomian at the villa now...
When Ye Mo passed by, the second uncle and the second aunt were in the melon field.
The watermelons here were planted in early April, and now it's July. The watermelons in the fields are... very big.
These are extremely large watermelons. Even though the spring is not watered, they still grow very large. The small ones weigh more than 20 kilograms.
The big ones weighed more than 40 kilograms. There were also a few extremely large ones, weighing over 100 kilograms. However, there were not many of these watermelons weighing over 100 kilograms, only a few hundred.
The size of the watermelon is almost finalized, and the picking time will be around the 20th.
"Second uncle, second aunt." Ye Mo shouted.
"Hey." The two of them responded.
Ye Mo got off the car and looked at the watermelons here...
There are about 230 acres of watermelons, and there are 650 watermelons per acre.
Watermelons are big and look good. However, watermelons are very cheap nowadays.
The watermelon sold on Hongshan Street costs about 1 yuan per catty.
The wholesale price of Tang Xun’s last crop of watermelon was only 7 cents per catty.
…
Early the next morning, the town arranged for a small truck to come over and transport coconut seedlings.
Some of the coconuts from Gaoshanping were sold to Wang Yue’s cousin, and the rest were kept to raise seedlings.
There are now more than 30,000 coconut seedlings in the nursery, and there are still about 20,000 ungerminated coconuts. Moreover, coconuts are picked every few days in Gaoshanping...
Ye Mo is planning to donate about 20,000 seedlings to Hongshan Town... No, it should be called the Hongshan Subdistrict Office now.
Ye Mo also had dinner early and came to Wutiao Gou.
During this period, Zheng Jinyuan lived in Wutiaogou. Early in the morning, he came to the office area, saw Ye Mo and said hello.
"The equipment at the factory is almost ready for debugging. The organic fertilizer your friend has stocked up can be brought into the factory," Zheng Jinyuan said.
"I'll go over with Wang Hao to take a look at the raw materials later..." Ye Mo said.
"Organic fertilizer raw materials, especially semi-cooked fertilizer, you can pay more depending on the quality." Zheng Jinyuan said: "Nowadays, organic fertilizer factories have raw materials very close to each other. If the price is higher, the way to collect organic fertilizer will be further away..."
Ye Mo made an OK gesture: "I heard from Boss Li that you are going to get raw materials from Lucheng?"
"Trying."
Lucheng is most famous for its liquor, and there are many breweries there.
You can go from Huacheng to Lucheng by water, and the freight is not particularly expensive. However, if the water content of the distiller's grains is high, it will be useless to make organic fertilizer...
It's probably not feasible.
Ye Mo sat in the office for a while, waiting for Wang Hao to come over, and then went to the organic fertilizer factory.
The No. 1 fermentation workshop has been built and the equipment is being debugged. The equipment debugging only takes two or three days...
"Hello." Ye Mo took out his phone and called Wang Rong.
"Why."
"At the composting site?"
"Here I am."
"I'll go over and take a look now." Ye Mo said, "If it meets the standards, we can arrange for the organic fertilizer to enter the factory today."
"good."
When Wang Rong received this call, her heart finally dropped.
Wang Rong's three compost sites have been built, and the accumulated organic fertilizer is estimated to be seven to eight thousand tons.
About 3,000 tons of these organic fertilizers are semi-cooked fertilizers or fermented organic fertilizers.
Some time ago, Li Xuebin took Wang Rong and Lin Xiaolin to visit more than a dozen farmers in surrounding counties, including several large farmers. These large farmers originally had unprocessed organic fertilizers accumulated...
After Wang Hao brought the equipment, he called a researcher and got in the car...
Ye Mo started the car and said, "Huacheng's organic fertilizer subsidy is 400 yuan per ton, right?"
"Yeah." Wang Hao nodded.
“Should the growers apply for this subsidy, or will we help apply for it?”
"Our company applies directly. For every ton sold, the subsidy is 400 yuan... The maximum subsidy is 70 million yuan." Wang Hao said.
"That's all..." Ye Mo shrugged. This was far from what they expected.
"This year it's 70 million yuan. We can still fight for next year's share... 70 million yuan is already a lot of share, and we need to sell nearly 20 tons of organic fertilizer."
There are two formal organic fertilizer factories in Huacheng, both of which have an investment of more than 10 million. Both factories are restricted by the construction of supporting facilities, and their annual output is less than 50,000 tons...
Organic fertilizer is very simple to produce, but to produce organic fertilizer that meets national standards, the cost is... quite high.
Just for pollution treatment, if the investment is small, it will not meet the requirements at all.
Ye Mo and the others have applied for several thousand acres of testing ground. It is called a testing ground, but its actual purpose is to treat wastewater from the factory.
A small amount of that wastewater is added to the soil as fertilizer. But if too much is added, it will destroy the soil structure.
Ye Mo thinks that the 70 million yuan subsidy is a bit small, but Wang Hao thinks it is a bit too much... Producing 200,000 tons of subsidized organic fertilizer requires at least twice or even three times the raw materials.
