"There is no need to build so many roads. This standard is used in China. In places as cold as the Far East, it is enough to build 10 kilometers of roads per thousand hectares of forest. Others can be made of dirt roads. There is not much rainfall that year. The road is still very useful." Jiang Yu said to Zhou Ziyue.

At this time, China's forestry resource management has entered a period of gradual refinement.

The consortium has a lot of money that cannot be spent, so it starts to continuously optimize the industry, just like the forest land contracted by the consortium from the country, the contract period is several hundred years, and the contract price is also very low. [

After the state nationalizes the forest land, it is then contracted to a consortium at a low price. Few people know the inside story, and newspapers will not report it.

After the consortium obtained these forest land resources, they began to overhaul roads between the forest lands.

Each forest area has a railway built into it, and then 30 kilometers of roads are built for every thousand hectares in this forest area, and the forest area is finely felled.

The felling of timber in China at this time is not like that in later generations of China, where the whole mountain is cut bare.

Those immature trees are not cut down, and plantation is arranged immediately after cutting.

For example, for every [-] hectares of forest, in the early stage of construction, a small part of the mature and all over-mature trees in the [-] hectares are cut down, and the remaining trees are all about the same size.

In addition to cutting down every year, if the tree species of the 30-hectare forest are mature in [-] years, the [-]-hectare forest is divided into [-] areas.Fifty acres in each area.

Cut down an area every year, and then unify the artificial afforestation.

30 years down.This thousand hectares of forest can be cleared, and the trees in that area that were planted 30 years ago can be felled again.

At the same time, more saplings can be planted in the early stage for the genus trees in each area, and they can be cut down once every ten or twenty years.

It is equivalent to cutting down an area every year, and also having to cut down an area.

Thus forming a cycle, the annual felling volume in this area is in a relatively stable state.

Naturally, the felling method cannot be used in the past. With the continuous development of the economy of the Republic of China, labor costs are getting higher and higher.It will definitely not work to cut down the forest and then use people to carry the wood onto the truck.

After felling the trees with a chainsaw, the wood must be hoisted to the car with a crane.Then it is transported to the railway branch line by car, and the wagon is directly hoisted and loaded onto the train to be transported to the wood processing factory.

There is a lot of rain in many areas of the country. If it is to build a mud road, it will be muddy after being washed by the rain, so roads have to be built.

The development of the forest by the consortium is to divide the forest farms one by one, and each forest farm is generally about [-] hectares.Then equipped with chain saws, cars, cranes and other logging tools.There are not many employees in the forest farm, and the number of employees is just enough to cut down the demarcated logging areas in one year, and to cut down each area.

At the same time, for every ten or twenty forest farms, there is an afforestation team, one or two forest farm technicians, and an airport.

The airport is equipped with aircraft.Usually used to spray pesticides and fertilizers.At the same time, in the dry season, these aircraft will spray water on forest areas to prevent forest fires.

The personal output value of loggers in this mode is still relatively high, and the forest resources are fully utilized, and there will be no ecological problems caused by too much felling at once, and forest resources will not be wasted there. [

And those northwest regions with poor ecological environment.Planted trees are basically not felled.At the same time, those areas that are prone to soil erosion will also not cut down forests.

In the newly occupied Russian Far East, there is no need to build so many roads.It is enough to build a 10-kilometer road for every thousand hectares of forest. After all, there is not much rain there, and the dirt road is also very useful, and it will not become muddy due to the rain.Even if there are potholes, just drive a few hook machines to dig a few times.

The forests of later generations of Yankees only have 10 kilometers of roads, and only the Germans have made the best use of their own resources, building 45 kilometers of railways per thousand hectares of forest.

Forest is a renewable resource, and the exploitation of those tropical rainforests can only be avoided if the available woodland resources are utilized to a certain extent.

The function of the tropical rainforest is to produce oxygen.

In the forests in the cold zone, the oxygen production capacity is not very strong, and the wood in those virgin forests is more suitable for industrial processing.

Because those trees are relatively straight, unlike many trees in the rainforest that grow irregularly and crookedly.

Cutting a piece and then man-made a piece, so the cycle continues, it will have no impact on the environment.Although it poses a threat to the survival of wild animals, with the development of human beings, the end of wild animals is inevitable. It is enough to get some national forest parks and national reserves to protect them.

If China develops the forest resources in the newly occupied Far East, then it will not be a problem to extract [-] million cubic meters of wood every year.

At this time, the forest area controlled by China is very huge. Within the traditional territory, the forest area is 2 million hectares. In addition, Southeast Asia has obtained [-] million hectares of tropical rainforest. Among them, all the forests in the northern mountainous areas of Myanmar occupied by Britain were ceded to China. The vast forests in southern Tibet have also been taken away by China.

In addition to the occupation of the Russian Far East, another [-] million hectares of forests were obtained.

After successive expansions, China's forest area has grown crazily to 2 million hectares, and the per capita forest resources are nearly [-] hectares.

The per capita forest area in later generations was hectares. At this time, the world population was 16 billion, and the per capita forest area reached about hectares.

That is to say, at this time, China's per capita forest area still has not reached the world's average level.

At the same time, China calculated the per capita forest area at this time, and included the forest area of ​​those dependent countries. That is to say, the people of those vassal states and the natives of Southeast Asia did not have the right to own the forest.

But it is still lower than the world's per capita forest area.

However, at this time China's forest area.And enough to support China's development.

China has always had a relatively large population and relatively few resources.As a result, ordinary people have been living in a state of insufficient nutrients.

After some expansion, China's lack of resources has been greatly eased.

And at this time, China already has the money to import resources, and has invested a lot of assets overseas, which means that it can import resources cheaply.

At this time, China's oil reserves reached 5116 billion barrels, 1279 barrels (tons) per capita, accounting for 43% of the world's total oil reserves. Compared with the poor 14 barrels of oil per capita in China in later generations, it is 365 times.

In addition, the Diaoyu Islands already belong to China.The oil reserves on the Diaoyu Islands are estimated at 30 to 70 billion tons, and they will all belong to China in the future. [

And the oil in the South China Sea is also owned by China at this time. The "Dependent State Treaty" signed by Vietnam and China clearly stipulates that Vietnam has no territorial sea rights.

These oils are not included in the above figures.

At this time, China has occupied most of the Arabian Peninsula, and is staring at Iraq, Syria, and Persia. If the oil in these countries is occupied again, China's oil storage will be further increased.

……

"The deer industry is also of great development value in the Far East. As the quality of life of ordinary people improves, the consumption of deer antler, deerskin, venison, and deer milk will continue to increase. The animal industry can also be vigorously developed. Mink High-end clothing such as fur coats and fox fur coats will have a huge demand, and they can also be exported in large quantities. Black bears can also be raised on a large scale, and bile can be obtained from live bears. The domestic demand for this aspect is growing. "

Jiang Yu and Zhou Ziyue continued to talk in detail about the development of the Far East industry.The Far East is relatively cold, and there are only so many industries that can be developed.

"The profits of the animal husbandry industry are really good, and the market demand is also great." Zhou Ziyue nodded and said, as the common people have money in their pockets, those fur coats are selling very well.

"The Far East is rich in forest resources. We have set up a wood processing industry in the Far East. The wood is processed into furniture, flooring and other products before being transported back to the customs. In order to reduce the transportation pressure. Among them, the pollution of the paper industry is relatively large, so we Export to Japan, and let Little Japan make paper for us. We keep the high value-added special paper manufacturing industry." Jiang Yu continued, and Zhou Ziyue wrote them down.

At this time, as the focus of construction is placed on the country, the era of real estate construction is about to begin, and the demand for domestic multi-floors will increase significantly, even violently.

At the same time, ordinary people have moved into new houses, so they naturally need to replace them with new furniture, new kitchen utensils, and new tableware.Just like someone gave you a birdcage, you are very likely to buy a bird to raise.

Of course, it is popular among Chinese people these days to find carpenters to make furniture or build houses by themselves.

In general, after the tile-roofed houses are built in rural areas, planks on the second floor must be laid. Traditional carpenters will live in the home of their employers to work. In order for the carpenters to work hard, the employers usually pay them well, and they have snacks for daily work.

However, this model is gradually being phased out.

In the future, tile-roofed houses will not be built in rural areas, but villas will be used.

Ordinary people in the countryside or in the suburbs do not need much money to build a villa by themselves.Given that China's current high-efficiency productivity continues to spread and income continues to increase, more and more groups are able to build their own villas.

In addition, China's population pressure is not too great at this time, with a population of just over 4 million. In addition, the territory is expanding rapidly, and there is no need to stick to the red line of 18 billion mu of cultivated land. The land policy is still very loose.

In addition, the city is becoming more and more noisy, and cars will soon be popularized. More and more people will go to the suburbs to build houses. There is no need to worry about the housing problem in China.

And the panels needed to build villas will not be a problem as the Russian Far East is occupied by China.

Tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia can also provide some timber, but China only cuts down mature forests in tropical rain forests, and the accumulation of over-mature forests will make the ecosystem more unstable.

Construction raw materials are all under the monopoly of consortiums. The engineering teams in various provinces in China are all formed by consortiums, and the consortiums have opened more than a dozen construction companies.

These dozens of construction companies compete with each other, which is a kind of benign competition, and the project profits are relatively high, which prevents vicious competition.

The so-called vicious competition is to lower the prices of each other until it is no longer profitable to use real materials to carry out this project, and then shoddy them as good ones.Engage in bean curd dregs projects to grab profits.

Although the country did not clearly stipulate that private capital cannot form engineering teams, but before the First World War in China, only the East China faction developed certain industries.

After the war started.Other countries will basically not sell any engineering equipment.The advanced engineering equipment produced by Jiangyu's warlord consortium is also for its own engineering team, and will not be sold to those civilian engineering teams.

If private capital wants to start an engineering team, the state will first approve it uniformly. Even the engineering team at the township level is approved by the central government. Once the engineering equipment does not meet the standards, sorry, the approval will not be passed.

Engineering teams without operating licenses are severely cracked down, and the reasons for the crackdown are very legitimate.Put an end to the tofu dregs project!

More than a dozen construction companies have subcontracted provincial, municipal, county, and township-level engineering projects in various provinces. These construction companies have advanced equipment, and although there is a shortage of talents, they borrow from each other. In addition, the technical nature of many projects is not high, but it can be supported.

With Japan being swallowed up.The engineers trained in Japan were all acquired by China. The Japanese are good at surveying and mapping, and the shortage of professionals in engineering surveying and mapping has been alleviated.

After a large number of German engineers arrived, the problem of talent shortage was further solved.

Monopolizing engineering construction is tantamount to monopolizing real estate development.Under the monopoly, each engineering team has a large amount of money invested in equipment renewal and personnel training.Coupled with mutual competition, each company has a sense of urgency, so the quality of the project is constantly improving.

In addition, the production of raw materials is monopolized by the consortium. At this time, a more and more perfect capital cycle has been formed. A large amount of wealth is continuously seized by the consortium, and the consortium builds various projects.Spend wealth so that ordinary people have jobs and income.Then it flows back to the consortium's pocket through consumption.

However, the current real estate is still not engaged in, and the industry has not started to explode the car.

In the whole year of 1917, China firstly retained 50% of its military industrial production, some of which were exported to the Allies, and some were aided to the Allies.

At the same time, China has focused its construction on the construction of railways and roads, as well as the manufacture of construction equipment, agricultural machinery, automobiles, merchant ships, and oil tankers.

"This year we have built 5 kilometers of railways in a frenzy, and the total length of railways has reached 13 kilometers. This year, 3 kilometers of provincial roads, 8 kilometers of municipal roads, and 6 kilometers of township roads have been repaired. Overall, Said, our local raw material mining in China is still relatively backward." Zhou Ziyue said to Jiang Yu.

"There is no way around this. Who made us develop late! If the war can be dragged on for another two years, our traffic environment in China should be greatly improved." Jiang Yu said, the main lines of railways and highways are like blood vessels , Those railway branch lines and township roads are like veins. Only with good transportation can nutrients be transported to the whole body.

Before China was able to grab benefits in the First World War, it was mainly because Jiang Yu diverted transportation to iron ore and coal mining, as well as steel and military transportation.

The main raw materials are shipped out, and the main commodities are shipped out to form concentrated production areas one by one.

But after all, it is inclined. Although the traffic on the main line has been repaired almost, the branch line is still relatively frustrated.Raw materials in many provinces in China cannot be mined.Although the individual output of those small mines is inconspicuous, if the small mines in the whole country are added together, they are very impressive.

Even wood is the most basic building material. For example, a county obviously has a lot of wood resources, but because the roads have not been repaired, the resources have not been developed.It can only be transported from other places by railway, which will increase the transportation pressure, and even cause the price of timber to soar because it cannot be transported, and some construction projects have to be put aside.

As a result, many industries can only be concentrated in coastal areas.

At this time, China's industry was most developed in the Yangtze River Delta, where most of the light industry was concentrated.

As for heavy industry, most of them are concentrated in northern Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Hunan, and northwest regions where the cost of transportation construction is relatively low. The heavy industry in Sichuan and the three northeastern provinces has also developed to a certain extent.

Only when the country's traffic conditions are improved can the economy grow rapidly.

At this time, China also had a very concentrated industry because of the consortium's monopoly on the industry. Various industries were concentrated in some regions, and then exported these products to the whole country.

And transport raw materials from all over the country to this place.

This has caused a busy railway transportation, which is why the [-]-kilometer railway in China in later generations can support it. At this time, the industrial system built by Jiangyu must have more railways, not only because the transportation volume has increased. , It is also because the speed of trains these days is not as fast as that of later generations, and the transportation efficiency is not so high.

Of course, this also makes China's population concentrated in those cities with industries.

At this time, due to the large population migration in China, many provinces have completely become raw material production areas, so the transportation construction in those provinces is mainly for the extraction of raw materials.

The residents of those provinces mainly mine raw materials, and there will also be some enterprises that process these raw materials.

Just like the United States in later generations, the industry is highly concentrated.

Therefore, China now can choose not to build transportation in some areas. After all, China can still ship raw materials back from overseas at this time.

And the people in those areas with backward transportation migrated out and turned into industrial population, so that the whole nation developed rapidly.

Therefore, China's transportation construction is not difficult. Those provinces with difficult transportation construction only need to build a main line to enter and build main branch lines. Others don't need to build, just move people out.

"Since we strengthened our monopoly, the stocks of railways and roads have risen very rapidly. In addition, the funds invested in the stock market have increased. Now private capital can support the construction of railways and some roads. Next year, we don't need to spend our own money. The money went to the construction." Zhou Ziyue smiled secretly, because the stockholders were a little resistant to the railway because of the loss of the railway once before.

However, as the dividends of railways have been increasing year by year, people still cannot resist the temptation of railways, and there has been a boom in railway investment in various places.
