COFCO Corporation, Yang Renjie was very confused when he saw the report in front of him. After they contracted one percent of the farmland in Jiangnan Province at a high price, Oriental International didn't care at all, but resolutely continued to implement their plan. This made Yang Renjie
Very confused. According to the current situation, Canglong should come to their door to beg them.
Just when Yang Renjie was very confused about this situation, a phone call suddenly came. After answering, his son Yang Wen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dad, did you know that Oriental International has started planning farmland?"
"We already know it. They don't seem to show any signs of uneasiness according to our predetermined plan, and they don't even send anyone over to negotiate with us." Yang Renjie said.
"They seem to be experimenting with a new variety of early rice. I got an inside message from Oriental International. This variety is called Early Rice No. 1. Sowing has begun. In the next month, one-tenth of the cultivated land in Jiangnan Province will be covered.
, will grow Zaodao No. 1, and they seem to be very confident in this new variety." Yang Wen said.
"Early Rice No. 1? The Ministry of Agriculture and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have not released any new varieties. What's going on?" Yang Renjie wondered. Generally, the planting of new varieties of crops must be reviewed by the Ministry of Agriculture and can only be sown after confirmation, because some
The emergence of crops will cause huge damage to the ecological environment.
"No, this was developed internally by their company without permission from the Ministry of Agriculture. I think this is an opportunity. When they plant all the seedlings in the fields, we can go to the Ministry of Agriculture and sue them. Don't you know the minister very well?
Well, through his relationship, Oriental International fell short and saved so much trouble." Yang Wen said,
"That's an idea. I'll say hello to the minister right now." Yang Renjie put down the phone and then connected to the Ministry of Agriculture. COFCO and the Ministry of Agriculture have a strategic cooperative relationship, so his call can easily be answered by the Ministry of Agriculture. With his
His status is no lower than that of the Minister of Agriculture. Read the full text with super search from another world.
"Minister Lin, I'm Yang Renjie. Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have a meal together when you have time. You're welcome. You're welcome. I have something to ask you. It seems that a new variety of rice has appeared in Jiangnan Province. This is your
Is it issued by the Ministry of Agriculture? What, it’s not issued by the Ministry of Agriculture? But that company called Oriental International has started to breed seedlings. It seems that they will be transplanting them in more than ten days. Yes, I thought they were new varieties from your Ministry of Agriculture.
Yeah." Yang Renjie said calmly.
The Minister of Agriculture over there was very surprised. Apparently the appearance of Zaodao No. 1 in Jiangnan Province had not yet reached his ears. Even if it had appeared, it would be a matter for a few deputy ministers.
"I will let the people below investigate this matter. What should I do if Zaodao No. 1 is messed up and destroys the ecological system?" The Minister of Agriculture was very angry.
Yang Renjie said quickly: "Minister Lin, I think the investigation of this matter needs to be slowed down a bit. After letting them plant the seedlings, you can send someone down to investigate thoroughly."
On the other end of the phone, Minister Lin was silent for a while, then seemed to understand what Yang Renjie meant, and said, "Then I'll do what you want?"
"Haha, Minister Lin makes his own decision." Yang Renjie said with a smile.
"I understand." Minister Lin said.
Twenty days later, at the end of February and beginning of March in the lunar calendar, early rice transplanting began in Jiangnan Province in the south. In the past, the first day of rice transplanting was called the opening of the rice field. Housewives had to prepare food, wine and meat for their families.
Have dinner with the helpers.
During the meal, everyone has to eat an egg, which means "seeking luck." Squat down to pull out the seedlings, and first sweep the straw tied to the seedlings a few times across the rice field, which means to prevent "seedling madness". Seedling madness refers to the hair on the back of the hands.
When the rice transplanting is finished, it is called "closing the rice gate". Some household heads walk around the field, pull out a handful of rice seedlings, take them home, and throw them by the door wall, saying that "the rice seedlings recognize the door of the house, and a good harvest will come through the door." The rice transplanting is over.
That day's dinner, the host's family will entertain the helpers, which is called "dispersing". When planting rice seedlings and farming, in addition to three meals a day, there will be two snacks.
After Dongning City realized fully mechanized production last year, farmers began to transplant rice in an organized manner, and they all used advanced rice transplanters, which were much faster than manual labor. Of course, the managers of Oriental International Grain Company still followed the original customs
, prepared things for employees in the company.
Last year's production was a huge change for farmers, because they no longer have to raise seedlings or transplant rice by themselves. Instead, they use the company's machinery, and each household is responsible for a piece of land.
They are all contracted to Oriental International, but almost every household has one person working for Oriental International. They have old friends and young people, and each person is responsible for an area. They are not worried about the previous problems of competition for water storage, nor are they worried about fertilizers.
The problem of loss.
It can be said that they had a big harvest last year. Compared with previous years when they only relied on planting income, they received double wages. The first was from the land they contracted, and the second was from working in the farmland they were responsible for managing.
, just like working in the city, it will be paid once a month, while the money for selling land contracts will be paid out at the end of the year.
In Jiangkou Township, there are basically no terraces left. After opening the rice transplanting gate, farmers drive their own rice transplanters to work in their own areas. Of course, some people are unwilling to use rice transplanters and still transplant rice by hand. The company does not care about this.
They only need to complete the task when planting rice seedlings.
There are regulations for receiving and using the machines. After using the machines, they only need to clean them and send them back to the factory. If something breaks down, they don’t need to pay for repairs themselves. The company has a dedicated repair shop.
Just send it in.
Working in a grain company, they learned a lot. Old Man An was the leader of Jiangkou Township. This was the first east to realize mechanization, so almost everyone learned to use the company's machinery during their spare time. Old Man An still managed
It's my own paddy field, plus some nearby places.
For Mr. An, Oriental International's contracting has brought huge improvements to their lives. This is not only a material improvement, but also a spiritual improvement. Most of the young people who have been working outside have returned, making the original
Only the elderly rural areas are left, and they have a vigorous vitality again.
The physical labor in previous years has become intellectual labor. Whether it is plowing the ground or transplanting and harvesting, there are basically machines. Their existence is just to report some abnormal things to the technical staff of the institute and the military students who returned to the Qing Dynasty.
Old Man An never thought that Jiangkou Township would see such a day, and all the villagers were grateful to Oriental International from the bottom of their hearts.
He got things from the company and the nursery early, and drove the rice transplanter to his field. This time the rice seedlings were different from the previous ones. It was said that this was a new variety developed by the company, but for Old Man An, the new variety was
The seedlings are still the same as the previous ones, basically there is not much difference.
On the newly built Tian Road, there were many employees preparing to open the rice fields one after another. Everyone was familiar with each other and said hello from time to time. Basically, they were just a few words during the off-season. It seemed that they had scruples, and no one said anything.
Unlucky words.
Old Man An held a red egg in his arms. He drove the rice transplanter with one hand and peeled the red egg open with the other hand. When the rice transplanter drove into the field, Old Man An finished peeling the egg. He first made a gesture toward the field.
Yi, then he muttered something silently, as if he was praying, and then he ate the egg and started the machine.
In the past, a task that required four or five people to work at the same time for several hours could now be completed in half an hour with the help of a machine. As he watched the rice transplanter move forward one by one, Old Man An started smoking leisurely.
"Hey, old man, old man, yes, I'm calling you, come here." Old man An was planting rice seedlings when he saw a few people finally walking to his area, seemingly calling him.
Old man An felt that these people were relatively unfamiliar, so he did not drive the rice transplanter over, but inserted all the remaining seedlings into the cultivated land. Then he drove the rice transplanter onto the field road and walked over. What he saw were a few people in suits and leather shoes.
Some of the people with beer bellies wear glasses and look very polite.
"Why did I just come here now after calling you for so long?" One of them, a fat man with glasses, looked very unhappy.
"Are you technicians in the factory?" Old Man An was not afraid, he just squatted calmly in the paddy field and washed his hands and asked calmly.
"No, we are investigators sent by the central government to investigate matters related to Zaodao No. 1." The middle-aged man in the lead said seriously, "Is the one you planted Zaodao No. 1?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man reached out to the field and pulled out a handful of the newly inspected seedlings. He looked at them carefully in his hands. Although Oriental International contracted all the cultivated land, the cultivated land was still the original hybrid mixture. Only
In some cultivated fields near mountainous areas, complete rice is grown.
In the good paddy fields near towns and villages, seeds are basically planted. These are to be purchased by the government and will be purchased next year. They are also necessary for seedling cultivation.
"Central investigator?" Mr. An looked them up and down, his eyes showing a bit of suspicion, but not panic. "Since I am an investigator from the central government, why are you looking for me? I am just a farmer."
"Don't you know that without the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture, other things cannot be grown in the fields? Especially the basic farmland protection areas. Jiangnan Province is the place where seeds are produced. Who asked you to plant this bullshit Early Rice No. 1?" Weibo
The middle-aged man wearing glasses said angrily.
Hearing this, Old Man An was frightened by this aura. He is just a farmer, and there is no way he can have the aura of these people: "You... you go find the company. I am just a farmer. The company will let you
We grow whatever we grow, and the farmland is contracted to the company."
"Stop all the rice-planting machines immediately!" said the fat man.
But Old Man An remained motionless and said, "We will plant whatever the company tells us to plant. If you want us to stop, you must first get the company's permission."
"You old guy, you're illegally growing special crops, you're still justified." The man wearing glasses kicked Old An.
Caught off guard, Old Man An was kicked directly to the paddy field. The fat middle-aged man was still not discouraged and wanted to push Old Man An into the paddy field, but at this moment, other villagers who were planting rice saw him.
At this scene, everyone ran over quickly.
"Hit someone, beat him to death." I don't know who shouted. The technicians from the nearby Oriental International and the farmers who transplanted rice jumped down from the rice transplanter, picked up the agricultural tools in their hands, and ran away.
