I have a paradise

Chapter 472 Food Crisis

Collect the five seeds of Artemisia sylvestris in his hand. These are things that change the world. They must be stored carefully. He is going to plant them in the land for cultivation after a while. There is a paradise in the land, and he can harvest it after a few times. Hundreds of kilograms of seeds are gone.

After there are enough numbers, Wang Yi will prepare a plan to green the desert!

After collecting the Xingxing Artemisia, Wang Yi opened the other kit, and the light was dissipated, and a gorgeous guqin appeared in front of him.

The whole body of the guqin is like jasper, with nine golden strings on it, and there are many phoenix patterns carved on the body, which looks very luxurious.

[Fengming Qin: Guqin, also known as golden silk jasper piano, royal furniture, the body made of precious wood is tough, like jasper, the masters of the country carefully carve the phoenix pattern, and use several special silk threads as the strings. , The sound of the piano is superb, just like a phoenix, so it is called Fengmingqin, the body is far away, and the after-rhyme surrounds the beam; such as intoxicated +68, reverberation around the beam +67, positive tone +65, Fengming +67, never worn +65, relaxed +67, washing body and mind +67, spiritual pleasure +65, elegant temperament +65

Seeing this Fengming Qin, Wang Yi immediately fell in love with it, and involuntarily flicked his fingers on the strings.

"Boom"

There was a melodious sound of the piano, and Wang Yi couldn't help being intoxicated. It took a few seconds before he came back to his senses. At this time, the eyes that looked at the piano also changed, and the effect was too powerful.Just a little fiddle can make people intoxicated. If there is a master to play, it is estimated that it will really make people intoxicated.

Put this Fengming Qin away, and Wang Yi is going to have time to learn the guqin. In fact, there are very few people who are proficient in the guqin. Most of them are the guqin. The guqin and the zither look alike, but there is still a big difference. There are only seven strings (two strings were added in the Song Dynasty, called Jiuxian Qin), and the Guzheng has 21 strings, so the difficulty is naturally high.

After opening the treasure chest, Wang Yi left the room and first went to find an open space to put down the high-level flower garden, and then ordered the gardener to plant tea seedlings and cotton. Wang Yi went directly to the farmland and asked the farmer to clear a piece of land. Wang Yi carefully planted Artemisia scoparia, the maturation period of Artemisia scoparia is very fast here, and it only takes one day, but it takes a year to mature in the desert.

The seeds of Artemisia sylvestris look like a four-pointed star. Each stargrass can produce dozens of fruits at a time. These fruits can be ground into powder after drying, which is similar to flour, but the yield is only half of wheat.But think about it, these land that was originally just sand can suddenly grow grain, no matter how it counts as a profit.

When I was in school, there was a class saying that China accounts for 7% of the world’s arable land and feeds one-fifth of the world’s population. This is something we are proud of, but it also shows that many places in China are not Suitable for farming, for example, the desert area of ​​China is 700,000 square kilometers, and if the Gobi Desert is included, it is more than 1.2 million square kilometers, which occupies 13% of the total territory of China.

If these places are converted into cultivated land, the existing cultivated land area will be directly tripled. Of course, this is actually impossible. The climate in the northwest is dry and rainless, and it is not suitable for farming. Cultivated land has the possibility of success.

And although China’s grain is self-sufficient, a large proportion of crops such as corn and soybeans rely on imports. In the past few years, there was a trade friction between China and the Beacon State. Trump has done this on these things. Little action, lighthouse countries, Brazil, and Argentina are the main soybean producing countries in the world. Last year, China imported more than 80 million tons of soybeans from these three countries, and the soybeans of these three countries are basically controlled by the lighthouse countries. .

If it had not been for a food crisis in 2008, we might still not realize that China's food is in danger.

In addition to soybeans, a large part of other corn and peanuts also need to be imported. In fact, the price of grain in China is generally 30%-50% higher than the foreign market price, such as rice, wheat, and corn. The price of other staple foods is 50% higher than the international market price.

After the import duty-paid price of bulk agricultural products such as grain, cotton, oil and sugar is roughly RMB 1,000 per ton lower than that in China, this price advantage has led to a continuous increase in imports of grain, cotton, oil and sugar, etc. The increase in imports will lead to two negative consequences. One is the serious inventory backlog. The second is the impact on the domestic grain market and the drop in grain prices, which will cause farmers to be unwilling to grow grain.

It can be said that the food lifeline of most countries in the world is in the hands of the four major grain merchants. These four major grain merchants refer to the four multinational companies of the lighthouse country ADM, Bunge, Cargill and France's Louis Duff. They are also referred to as "ABCD" for short.

At present, 80% of the world’s grain trade volume is monopolized in the hands of these four major grain merchants. Due to policy reasons, these four major grain merchants cannot directly control grain, but these grain merchants affect China’s grain from another perspective. Louis Duffy traded in feed grains with China as early as the 1960s, and is now China’s largest cotton supplier, while Cargill is China’s largest corn purchaser and has built a fertilizer factory in China.

The soybean industry has changed from the world’s largest soybean producer to the largest soybean importer. Similarly, these foreign-funded companies have established a large number of soybean processing plants and only purchase genetically modified soybeans, not domestic soybeans, and the purchase price is higher than domestic soybeans. The farmers are forced to plant genetically modified soybeans, and genetically modified soybean seeds can only be imported from abroad.

Among the 97 large-scale oil processing companies in Huaguo, 64 are controlled by multinational grain merchants. Well-known brands such as Arowana and Luhua are already foreign brands. Only Fulinmen is still in Huaguo’s hands. , But Fulinmen's market share is pitifully low.Now it can be said that the price of edible oil in China is completely controlled by these companies. After these companies have controlled soybeans, they have begun to attack corn again. The tactics used are still the industry chain tactics.

As the foundation of the breeding industry, corn has a very important position. Once controlled by foreign capital, China's breeding industry will be subject to foreign capital. The price of chicken, duck and pork also depends on the face of foreign capital.It can be said that these four major grain merchants are gradually mastering China's grain foundation.Through the advantages of the industrial chain and step by step to reduce the living space of Chinese local enterprises, the four major grain merchants of ABCD have actually become a behind-the-scenes master of the lighthouse nation's control of the world.

As long as these companies are willing, they can easily create a worldwide food crisis.
