Rebirth of Business Domination of the Two Worlds

Chapter 174 Growth of Agricultural Plants

Next, Mo Mo asked them one by one, asking them to complete the rectification within a week.

The dining room should be cleaned in time, leftovers should be disposed of in time, and carpenters should be asked to make bamboo curtains to prevent bugs from flying into the kitchen and dining room.

Ask the engineering team to build several vegetable washing pools, sinks, a layer of wooden boards in the kitchen, weave bamboo baskets for vegetables, fire stoves to raise the chimney, etc., and issue orders one by one to divide labor and cooperate.

"Okay, the meeting is over, clean up immediately!" Mo Mo waved his hand, telling them to rectify immediately.

"Where did you buy the salt? How much is it per catty?" Mo Mo walked into the kitchen and saw the salt in the wooden box, which was a little yellowed, and asked Shi Huo, the kitchen supervisor who was following him.

For a long time, Mo Mo seldom ate in other worlds, let alone carefully checked in the kitchen.

"Master, this is official salt, or high-quality salt, such a small wooden box costs 40 copper coins." Shi Huo replied respectfully.

"So expensive!"

After Mo Mo's calculations, this amounted to 20 yuan a catty of salt.

"It's okay, the general price is 10 copper coins per box. This price is acceptable. After all, one person can't eat much in a month, and one box can't be used up."

"Well, use refined salt for cooking in the future."

Mo Mo nodded. There are many ways for him to make money. For 40 copper coins a catty of refined salt, if the wholesale price is at most 30 copper coins, excluding transportation costs and labor costs, he can't make much money. It would be good to earn 10 copper coins per catty of salt.

One ton of salt can only earn 2 gold coins. If one person eats 5 catties of salt a year, 100 million people eat 2500 tons of salt a year, and doing salt business with 100 million people can earn 5000 gold coins a year.

But 100 million people don't use 2500 tons of iron a year, and Mo Mo can earn at least 2500 gold coins by selling 15000 tons of steel.

If you sell watches, that is, selling 500 pieces is enough to earn 5000 gold coins. Mo Mo has too many ways to make money.

What's more, the salt business has been monopolized by the government. If you want to make private salt, even if you sell it cheaply, it is difficult to make thousands of tons.

It is very convenient to dry sea salt and boil well salt. Mo Mo's main worry is the problem of selling roads and using too much labor.

There are too many poisonous substances in sea salt, which are mostly used in industrial production.On the earth, in 2008, the table salt used on the earth was still well salt and mine salt, accounting for more than 50%.

He engages in steel and sells it for money as a matter of course. The main thing is to develop industry.

Without steel, basic industries cannot develop, and the development of military forces is also hindered.

If there is no salt, at most some chemical industries will be difficult to develop. At present, there is no industry that uses a large amount of salt (sodium chloride).

After Mo Mo finished the hygiene time, it was getting late and he returned to the earth.

The next morning, he went to the Caigu plantation base to inspect it.

Crossing the crystal-clear streams and rivers, standing by the riverside, you can see greenery at a glance.

There are 20 people in the agriculture department of Qinglong Group. In addition to planting herbs, fruits and vegetables, peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, peanuts, cotton, and fruits and vegetables Momo brought from the earth were newly planted.

There are [-] acres of cultivated land that have been reclaimed. According to normal conditions, one person can't plant more than ten acres of plants, and he can manage a few acres of land.

However, Mo Mo does not require them to work carefully. Plants such as cotton, sweet potatoes, peppers, etc. are easy to grow and extensive. They do not need to be managed at all. In addition, there is automatic irrigation, and they are responsible full-time. After all, it is not a problem for one person to manage more than ten acres of land , just a little tired.

Moreover, Caigu also has a lot of staff when they are free, like the hundreds of children who can help a little when the plants are mature and harvesting.

"Master, you're here!" The migrant worker who was harvesting sweet potatoes saw Mo Mo and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"Well, how many days has this sweet potato been planted?" Mo Mo looked at the sweet potato dug out from the black soil. It was probably no bigger than a catty.

"101 days, young master, the yield is too high. It is estimated that the yield per mu is no less than one thousand catties! We grow wheat, and the yield per mu is only two to three hundred catties."

Mo Mo dug up a few crops of sweet potatoes, asked the system to estimate, and then said: "The land is fertile, and the yield per mu is estimated to be two to three thousand catties. It's only May, and it's rainy and sunny, so it's better to harvest after twenty days. At that time, the yield of four to five thousand catties per mu will not be a problem."

"Wow, that's a lot. We planted 20 acres, isn't it there? Let me calculate... 500 catties. There are more than [-] people in Caigu, and each of them can get hundreds of catties!" Migrant worker Originally thought that the yield per mu was one thousand catties, but the young master said that if the yield per mu was four to five thousand catties, then there would be no problem.

They just started harvesting today, and they haven't weighed it yet. The yield of [-] jin per mu is just an estimate. It seems that their calculations are too conservative.

They also dug some sweet potatoes and cooked them these days. They thought the taste was pretty good, but they couldn't fill their stomachs, but it was better than famine.

If each person gets a few hundred catties of sweet potatoes, the problem of food and clothing can be basically solved.

In the past few months, they have been planting according to the propagation methods and cultivation techniques given by the young master. Unexpectedly, the sweet potatoes are free from diseases and insect pests, drought-resistant, easy to grow, and do not require much care.

Not only the fruit can be eaten, but also the potato leaves.There are tens of acres of potato leaves, and the farmed livestock can't finish them.

This sweet potato, is amazing!

"Master, I'll go and tell them not to dig yet, but to dig later."

Mo Mo smiled and waved, and the migrant workers happily ran to inform other colleagues.

For the earth plants they planted, Mo Mo gave them information on planting techniques, main values, and storage and preservation. The soil here is rich in organic matter, loose, ventilated, and well drained, which is very suitable for planting sweet potatoes.

If the soil is heavy and sticky, the color of the root tubers will be poor and rough, the growth of sweet potatoes will be hindered, the shape of the potatoes will be irregular, and the yield will be low.

When planting sweet potatoes, he explained to the workers that the choice of soil for each plant is very important.

Next, Mo Mo went to other plant areas to check.

There are also a lot of peppers, with an acre of land and more than a dozen varieties.

The growth cycle of hot peppers is short, less than [-] days, but the flowering period is long. The hot red hot peppers are connected in series, and many of them are not picked.

Mo Mo beckoned a migrant worker and said, "These peppers are already red and ripe, so they can be picked. If you can't finish eating, you can dry them and store them."

"Master, some time ago, those chefs took some chili peppers to stir-fry with the meat. The fried meat was spicy and fragrant. It was really delicious. The chef said it was a kind of fetish, and it should be very precious. Dare to pick it again, I will wait for your decision, young master." The migrant worker recalled the fried pork that he ate some time ago, and when he thinks about it now, he still has a lot of aftertaste.

If the young master agrees, then they will be blessed in the future.

Although eating too much chili can make people feel hot, but they like that kind of spicy taste, and the meat fried with chili has no fishy smell anymore.

"Haha, this is not a fetish. You can eat whatever you want, and you can order it in a variety of ways. But you are not allowed to sell it. Things from this colorful grain are not allowed to be sold, let alone passed on to outsiders."

There is no chili in Tianling Continent, and Mo Mo doesn't want the earth plants to spread out. If the Qinglong Group opens any restaurant in the future, this chili will become the exclusive secret recipe.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

"We must keep that in mind."

Migrant workers who agreed to use chili peppers at will were ecstatic.

For them, eating is a kind of enjoyment in itself.

"Well, after the peppers are picked, the roots don't need to be cut down, and they can also grow fruits the next year." Mo Mo explained, and then went to other planting bases to check.

Every time Mo Mo went to a planting field, the migrant workers who saw him coming would report to him.As they talked, it was hard to hide the joy in their hearts.

Mo Mo helped the employees solve their food and clothing problems and their survival needs, and the migrant workers would naturally be grateful to him.
