Chapter 317 Forage
Due to the extreme scarcity of manpower, all of the more than 200 cross-country crews are now multi-tasking.

Take Huo Xiong as an example. He is not only the chairman and general manager of the animal husbandry corporation, he also holds a government position: the director of the animal husbandry department of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Huo Xiong's immediate boss is the Minister of Agriculture, Environment, Food and Agriculture Liang Letian.

The office where Huo Xiong went to make trouble today is the office of the Ministry of Agriculture in Chikan.The boss here is Mi Shuo, the chairman of the General Grain Corporation and the "first deputy minister" who actually presides over the work of the Ministry of Agriculture. Tuguo is called the "executive deputy minister".

Seeing Huo Xiong, who was dressed in the look of a motorcycle gang and full of underworld expressions, rushed in, and all the male and female civil servants in the room were shocked.

Then a middle-aged man with the appearance of an office director stepped forward quickly: "Hi, Director Huo, are you here to see our Minister Mi?"

Huo Xiong squinted at the black and thin man, and while walking in, he asked in a heavy metal tone: "Where's the man?"

"Go down to inspect."

"Where did you go for inspection?" Huo Xiong pushed open the door of the small inner office at this moment, and poked his head in to have a look.

"I went to Madou to see the fields."

"Madou?" Hearing this, Huo Xiong took out his mobile phone and dialed: "There is really no signal, I said, you kid can't lie to me, right?"

"Don't dare! The minister said to go to Madou before he left."

"Let's go, you lead the way. I can't find your minister today, so I'll let you know what closing the cowshed is!" Huo Xiong said, pushing the poor man downstairs.

The poor man was no longer pitiful after he went downstairs: he happily sat on the back seat of the Harley motorcycle, and made a popular local "V" gesture to the window on the third floor.

Then Huo Xiong set off with this little transparent office director who had never ridden a motorcycle before.

Madou Township is next to the kiln area, separated by a Xingang River.The natives there were the first to be wiped out, and the present Madou Township has already become a grain production base.

Huo Xiong drove his motorcycle on the asphalt road all the way, and when he passed the kiln area, he turned to the factory to refuel on the way. Finally, after crossing the cable suspension bridge on Xingang Creek, the motorcycle started to run on the dirt road.So Huo Xiong, who was covered in dust, finally found Mi Shuo who was inspecting the fields at noon.

Mi Shuo is a fat man with round face, round ears and round eyes.This remarkable feature earned him the nickname "Mickey Mouse" at the beginning of his journey.

Wearing a bamboo hat and a canvas overalls, Mi Shuo is sitting at the head of the field waiting for dinner.An electric tricycle was parked on the side of the road, and three helpers were busy making lunch.

As a result, after seeing the Harley motorcycle from afar, Mi Shuo, who was sitting on a tree stump with a smile on his face, looked a little unnatural now.

The motorcycle quickly rushed to the front along the dirt road.

"Hehe, as expected of a leader going to the countryside, look at how skilled this waiter is!" Before Huo Xiong got out of the car, the sarcastic remarks had already flowed over.

No wonder he said that, the behavior of some people is really outrageous: log bonfires, steel grills, sizzling deer legs, oysters the size of a child's head shell, with garlic sprinkled on top. , as well as self-brewed beer in exquisite small wooden barrels.

"Brother Mickey, you went to the countryside like this, and you were photographed on the Internet by the masses. Didn't you lose your official title every minute?" Huo Xiong teased, while honestly coming over and sitting next to Mi Shuo.

Mi Shuo, who has long been immune to these people calling him "Mickey", shook his head when he heard the words: "When the masses can access the Internet, I will even have my ashes melted, who cares so much."

After reaching out to pour Huo Xiong a glass of beer, Mi Shuo didn't wait for the other party to look for trouble, and took the initiative to pick up the topic: "Look at you, you are a busy person, and you are dragging my office director, you must have been looking for me for a long time, right?"

"You're ashamed to say, I've been looking for you for a few days, and I've been hiding from me." After squinting at Mi Shuo, Huo Xiong picked up a piece of oyster and started to eat, looking very angry.

"Hey." Mi Shuo laughed dryly: "Isn't this spring planting soon? The production task is heavy. I have to go to the field every day to inspect the field. What are you doing?"

"Pull it down, Tainan farming is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Huo Xiong mercilessly exposed someone's lie: "Old Mi, you can't hide from it. Today you have to give me a straight line, what is [-] acres of grassland?" When will it start?"

"Oh, that's what I knew." Mi Shuo shook his head when he heard the words: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, up to ten thousand mu."

Huo Xiong turned his head and opened his mouth in disbelief. After blinking, he stretched out his palm and began to count with his fingers: "Soybean meal, rye, sweet sorghum, alfalfa, elephant grass, emperor bamboo grass, corn. Old rice, what do you think? With so many types of feed, is [-] mu enough?"

Mi Shuo also snapped his fingers: "First, soybean meal, straw, and wheat bran are not counted in it, these are directly provided by field crops."

"Second, according to calculations, [-] mu is enough for you to use. This feed is not banknotes, and there will be interest if you save it. Why do you want so much?"

Huo Xiong heard a smirk here, and fought back: "Old Mi, this is the first, I'm afraid you don't know that our embryo transfer experiment is successful. Regarding this point, I had a phone call with Xia Shoufu yesterday. He has already agreed to increase the import of livestock from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the future, our large livestock inventory will roll upwards."

"That doesn't include the chickens, ducks, geese, and bamboo rats all over the place. By the way, I will start the small-tailed Han sheep and merino sheep projects after the new year, which require a lot of feed."

When Huo Xiong said this, he raised his second finger: "You got a sentence right just now. Although feed is not banknotes, it is very necessary to save it."

"Our current industrial level can't improve, even the supply of baking soda is intermittent, and the feed processing capacity is very poor." Huo Xiong began to smile at this moment: "So I need to store a large amount of silage feed."

"Don't talk about it, I understand this, the fermented feed can kill bacteria and insect eggs." Mi Shuo had a headache: "You really succeeded in embryo transfer?"

"Is there still a fake?" Huo Xiong said triumphantly, "You start plowing the fields and planting seeds now, and when the cattle come out of my side a year later, it just so happens that the fodder has been stored and can be eaten."

"No, no, [-] mu is still too much." Mi Shuo would shake his head like a rattle: "Brother Comrade, this kind of land is not a circle. In terms of machinery, water conservancy, seeds, and manpower, apart from rich manpower, other conditions Everything has to be calculated, don't talk to the lion."

"How about this, I will open [-] mu of special-purpose fodder fields here after the new year, and you can plant whatever you want. In addition, I will discuss with Lao Liang later and transfer a batch of soybean meal and straw to you. Is it enough now?"

"It still feels a bit precarious." Huo Xiong has already started eating deer legs and drinking beer: "The newly opened fields generally don't grow well. You have to guarantee my supply for the second half of next year."

Mi Shuo was helpless: "Okay, don't be too big and small. If there is a day when there is a shortage of feed, I will allocate soybeans and polished rice to feed your ancestors at any time! Is it possible?"

"That's what you said!" Huo Xiong nodded Mi Shuo with his finger.

"I said it, but the big planning meeting at the end of the year is coming soon. Regarding the production of agricultural machinery, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers, you have to cooperate with us in making resources. Well, I will also help you with a few words about the breeding stock."

"It's easy to say, isn't it just being a gunner? I'm good at this." Huo Xiong patted his chest: "Our big agriculture is going to be tied together and work hard. What kind of shit army artillery ship, two days ago, they even advocated building a phonograph to go to Ming Dynasty Those who swindle money are really playthings. If we don't do our best to turn the tide, I think it will be a pill to destroy the country!"

After all, things have come to this point in the end: when internal resources are unevenly distributed, the best way is to go to war with the outside world, grab unplanned resources, and transfer conflicts.

So the two discussed and discussed, and finally decided to solve the problem from the "root": compress the unnecessary industrial categories of others, and concentrate resources to build up the empire's primary industry first.

The big planning meeting at the end of the year is the most important meeting of the year: the three-day meeting will determine the approximate proportion of resources allocated by various departments next year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a battle of life and death.

So Huo Xiong and Mi Shuo, two independent hilltops under the big agriculture, quickly reached an agreement under pressure, and a series of conspiracies and alliances followed. Who is a friend and who is an enemy, all these have to be done clear.

After a venison beer barbecue feast, the two of them had almost reached an agreement.Huo Xiong, who was a little bit drunk, was in a good mood: he finally solved the problem of worrying about his heart, and it was really uncomfortable to talk about things behind his back. Now he understood Huang Xu's mood yesterday.

Patting Mi Shuo's thick shoulder, Huo Xiong turned around and rode on Harley, waved his hand and left in a hurry, bringing an earth dragon along the way.

Seeing Huo Xiong's back hidden in the dust, Mi Shuo also sighed helplessly: People these days are not easy to be fooled, because everyone is full of energy, before time-traveling everyone was a dick, after time-traveling everyone strives to be a model worker.

It has to be said that option incentives are the greatest invention of human beings—once you confirm that you will be able to get a share of the big pie in the future, especially when the big pie is as big as the world's top 500, it will really make you exhausted and sacrifice your life. Forget about it.
After sighing, Mi Shuo also wants to withdraw his troops and leave.With an order, several oil-mouthed subordinates, including the office director who suddenly came to eat, moved all the things to the tricycle, and then everyone climbed onto the wooden car. The wheels are made by DIY, except for the key transmission system, everything else is self-produced in the kiln area.

All the way back to the Chikan District government compound, Mi Shuo parked the car in the courtyard, and went out through the back door of the government. There is a special passenger terminal here, and there are traffic boats on duty at any time.

After quickly crossing the Taijiang River in a traffic boat, Mi Shuo went ashore on Dayuan Island, and then hitchhiked from the Port Authority Building into the Imperial City.

In a small office on the left on the first floor, he met his partner, cabinet member, Minister of Agriculture Liang Letian.
