Chapter 397 Cat Winter and Snow Banana in the Northeast

Today's [Chaoqun Group] can be said to have a large family and business, with major businesses all over the country, and some businesses have even expanded overseas.

It is impossible for Wu Siyuan to do everything by himself as he did a few years ago.

Even with artificial intelligence assisting in the dark.

Even if Wu Siyuan was too busy to do so, there was no need to do this.

What he is doing now is to grasp the direction of strategic development, and leave the rest of the tactical implementation to the management of his subordinates.

Just like this pig price war.

After Wu Siyuan set the tone in January 2019, he handed over full authority to Guan Xuelie and Su Shixian.

Then he himself, with He Youman, had already flown to the northeast.

The Northeast Region, known as Youzhou in ancient times, is the collective name for the territory in the northeast of China, with a land area of ​​145 million square kilometers and a total population of 1.2 million.

Northeast China spans the mid-temperate zone and the cold-temperate zone from south to north. It has a temperate monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. It is hot and rainy in summer and cold and dry in winter.

From the southeast to the northwest, the annual precipitation drops from 1000mm to below 300mm, transitioning from humid area, semi-humid area to semi-arid area.

Surrounded by water and mountains, thousands of miles of fertile fields are the basic characteristics of the ground structure in Northeast China. The soil is dominated by black soil. The black soil in the Northeast Plain is one of the three major black soil belts in the world. Its fertility is astonishing. There is a saying that goes, "Catch the black soil to make oily flowers, and put chopsticks in it to sprout." Although it is a bit exaggerated, the fertility of the Northeast land is indeed true.

In history, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang used to be the largest granaries in China, and there were sayings like "cooking Suhu, the world is full" and "Huguang grain nourishing the world", but now it has changed, and the Northeast has become the largest granary in China.

The total grain output of the three northeastern provinces is 11874 million tons, accounting for about 20% of the country's total grain output, far exceeding Jiangsu and Zhejiang's 4307 million tons and 5583 million tons.

Of course, this is based on the fact that the joint development of saline-alkali land by [Chaoqun Group] and the country has not been successful.

Once the saline-alkali land is successfully developed and [-] to [-] million mu of land suitable for cultivation is released, the honor of being the largest granary in the country may change.

But at present, the largest granary in the country is undoubtedly the Northeast region.

Northeast rice grown in the Northeast is famous all over the country.

Northeast rice is japonica rice, which is mainly planted in the vast plains of the three northeastern provinces. It is planted in the extremely fertile black soil, absorbing enough nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other mineral elements, with sufficient sunshine and rain, and pure and pollution-free irrigation. With water, the growth cycle is generally about five months.

The real Northeast rice is short and round in shape, with an aspect ratio of about 1.6:1, less white belly, high gelatinous rate, and clear and transparent beige.

The unique geographical advantages ensure the unique high quality of northeast rice.

However, due to its unique climate and terrain, Northeast China is also trapped in its unique climate and terrain.

Due to the bitter cold weather in the Northeast, the rice in the Northeast can only be cooked once a year.

In the south, two crops a year are very common, and there are also three crops a year.

Northeast rice is usually planted in May and harvested in October, but from November to April of the following year, the fields in the Northeast are all bare, and no crops can be planted.

Because it's too cold!No crops will survive!

In the fields in the south, after the early rice is planted, the late rice can be planted, or at worst, other things can be planted, anyway, they can always survive.

But in the Northeast, it is impossible.

If in the Northeast, farmers do not have dozens or hundreds of acres of land, they will not be able to make money by farming alone.

Although farming seems to be very simple, just drop the seeds, weed and fertilize, and that’s it, and the cost is not high.

But in fact, all aspects of farming require money. The first is the land contract fee. The land contract fee for rice planting is generally around 600-700 per mu. Calculated at 650 yuan, 65000 mu is [-] yuan.

Seeds are about 5.5-yuan per catty, and 1200 catties of seeds are needed per 7200 mu of land, which is [-] yuan for seeds, which is not counting the expenditure of the greenhouse.

There is also a lot of input in chemical fertilizers. Each mu of land requires 30 catties of compound fertilizer and 26 catties of urea. If the soil is not fertile enough, an additional 5 catties of chemical fertilizers are required. It will cost 9000 yuan in fertilizer investment per [-] mu of land.

The use of water resources also costs money. On average, it costs more than 20 yuan per mu, and more than 2000 yuan per [-] mu.

Field road maintenance costs 500 yuan per [-] mu.

After the rice is harvested, it needs to be dried. If you don’t have your own drying yard, you have to rent it, which also costs about 500 yuan.

The mechanical parking fee will cost about 500 yuan.

There are many places in the Northeast, and the traditional fertilization methods are too backward, so it is common to use civil aircraft to spray foliar fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides on rice.

6000 acres to invest [-] yuan.

Pesticides cost 3000 yuan per [-] acres.

If drones are used to weed, then 2500 mu will cost [-] yuan.

Farming and transplanting rice seedlings requires hiring workers, and it takes two days for a hundred acres of land. Now labor is expensive, and it usually costs 5000 yuan.

There are also harvesting fees and diesel consumption, which add up to 11000 yuan.

Adding up all kinds of expenses, it will cost 121100 yuan to plant [-] mu of land.

If 1000 catties of grain are produced per mu, calculated according to the grain price of 1.3 yuan per catty, the income per mu will be 1300 yuan. After a year of hard work, they did not make much money.

Of course, these expenditures are all calculated upwards, and there are also fluctuations in the yield per mu and food prices, and the government still has subsidies.

The actual situation is not so bad.

On average, it is normal to earn three to four hundred per mu of land, and it is possible to earn five to six hundred, six to seven hundred if it is more.

But the premise is that there must be enough land for planting.

Because here in the northeast, there is only one crop a year, at least for more than half a year, and the land here is abandoned and cannot be planted.

What Wu Siyuan took a fancy to was the six months of abandonment.

In all fairness, there is really no crop in this world that can grow in such a bitter winter in the Northeast.

But there is another world.

Wu Siyuan obtained a seed called [Snow Banana] in the world of "Boiling Beast Blood".

This kind of [Snow Banana] only grows on the Temur Raya Snow Mountain. The colder the weather, the stronger it grows.

After it grows up, [Snow Banana] is cold in the hand, and the white skin with slightly sesame spots reveals a sweet fragrance. When you put it in your mouth, there is a bone-chilling chill in your mouth immediately, and the coldness passes. After that, there was an indescribable glutinous sweetness and refreshingness on the tip of the tongue. The flavor in it was incomparable to any fruit in the real world.

After Wu Siyuan obtained the seeds of [Snow Banana], he handed them over to He Youman for research.

After the research, it was found that although [Snow Banana] is a herbaceous plant like bananas, its growth cycle is relatively long. It takes at least 20 months from planting to maturity.But the yield is more than three times that of bananas.

It is normal for the output to be so exaggerated. [Snow Banana] is supplied to the Mammoth Clan in the world of "Blood of the Beast".
However, [Snow Banana] took too long to mature.

This situation was left to He Youman to solve.
