I am farming in the real world

Chapter 46: The Relaxation After Coming Ashore

Half an hour later, Chen Village underground base.

After hacking the Dog-Headed Strategist N times back and forth using the [Cooked Chicken] method to prolong his life, Chen Jue finally vented some anger.

He just didn't expect that this wretched Villager No. 1's stance was quite firm. Even if he was ground down to only half a bar of health and on the verge of death, the prices displayed in the transaction bar didn't drop below 10% of the original price.

"It seems that this pay-to-win transaction system can't be cracked by violent means."

Seeing this, Chen Jue gave up the idea of using coercive methods to force the villagers to automatically hand over transaction items like [Nether Star] and [Emerald].

Of course, since he couldn't ignite the portal in MC to go to other worlds to farm resources, the road was temporarily blocked.

Chen Jue had no choice but to turn his attention back to the real world.

He took a leap of faith and arrived at the starting point of the tunnel ten thousand meters underground.

A group of Iron Golems who had just finished the 'Chen Ping' line subway tunnel excavation work gathered around, showing him the newly opened 70-kilometer-long underground tunnel as if they were asking for credit.

"It's already been completed?"

Chen Jue showed a hint of joy on his face upon seeing this.

Next, he only needed to replenish the [Iron Ingots], create enough [Rails] and lay them all the way to achieve rapid underground transportation from Chen Village to Pingtou Village.

It was easy to replenish [Iron Ingots]. If new iron ore wasn't mined underground, he could buy scrap metal with money to get them.

As for this team of Iron Golems who had become accustomed to digging tunnels, Chen Jue had already figured out how to arrange them.

He took out his phone, opened the Gaode offline map, called the leading Iron Golem in charge of construction, Tie Sanzhu, to his side, and explained the second tunnel line to be dug.

This was a route from Chen Village in Wen City directly to the Irrawaddy River tributary, the Wulu River, in Myanmar. The Gaode map showed a straight-line distance of more than 2,500 kilometers.

This route looked nearly 36 times longer than the first 70-kilometer subway line, but Chen Jue didn't plan to build this second line into a spacious and bright luxury subway tunnel like the 'Chen Ping Line'.

It didn't need any tunnel decoration; it only needed to serve the function of rapid round trips. He just needed to build a narrow, single-track, high-speed line.

This would save a lot of excavation time.

According to Chen Jue's estimate, it would only take one or two Iron Golems to go ahead and open the way. One would dig mindlessly in front, and the other would lay [Rails] and place [Torches] behind.

It would only take about a month to reach the jadeite mining area in Myanmar. When the time came, he could use MC's tools to dig like a carpet. Wouldn't things like Emperor Green and Glass be easily obtained?

Of course, the main reason was that Chen Jue had now come ashore.

He no longer had the urgency of being burdened by debt and having to force himself to make money quickly. Instead, he had a sense of relaxation like he was playing a game.

Anyway, those jadeites were buried deep underground. They hadn't been completely mined out after so many years of digging. Sooner or later, they would be his.

If he was anxious to dig for Emperor Green jadeite, he could even take a flight to Nan Province and dig over from the border, which would be quicker.

… …

After explaining the construction task of heading straight to the jadeite mining area, Chen Jue gathered all the remaining Iron Golems.

He asked them to expand the original scale of the previous 105 planting pits by 10 times, and to open up 3,000 new planting blocks in the underground base for large-scale production in the future.

According to Chen Jue's calculations, once these 3,000 planting blocks were completed, the area of flat arable land he controlled would reach more than 4.5 million mu.

What was this concept?

In the past, that would be a proper super-landlord, the kind who wouldn't be shot enough even 200 times.

You must know that in 2024, the country's arable land was only 1.918 billion mu.

The per capita arable land area was less than 1.5 mu, ranking 126th in the world, a well-known case of little land and many people.

Once 4.5 million mu of arable land was opened up, it could achieve 0.2% growth in the country's existing arable land area!

As for what to plant on so much MC arable land, Chen Jue had also thought a lot about it in the past two days.

It was definitely not feasible to continue planting single-product vegetables like Shanghai greens on a large scale.

With MC arable land's heaven-defying growth rate of maturing every 36 hours, coupled with the scale of 4.5 million mu, he would have to contract hundreds of Pingtou Villages filled with vegetable farmers to achieve 'deceiving the heavens'.

Moreover, once as many as hundreds of millions of catties of vegetables were released to the market at one time, a single Wen City vegetable basket couldn't eat it all.

It might even trigger a price war, squeezing the interests of vegetable farmers.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Jue finally selected a relatively scarce crop in China, which was soybeans!

In 2023, the national soybean production capacity was 20.84 million tons, but the import volume reached 99.41 million tons.

According to the expectations of agricultural experts on the Internet, in a few years, the domestic soybean gap may even reach hundreds of millions of tons.

The reason why there was such a shortage of soybeans was also affected by the country's arable land.

Most of China's arable land was rugged and uneven, lacking large areas of planting plains suitable for mechanized operations like those in Latin America.

Planting staple foods such as rice and wheat alone consumed most of the arable land, let alone squeezing out space to cultivate soybeans.

Of course, in addition to being used for oil extraction, the most important use of soybeans was that the [Soybean Meal] produced after oil refining could be processed into high-quality protein feed, which was widely used in poultry and livestock breeding.

If you want to eat cheap meat, eggs, and milk, you can't avoid economic crops like soybeans.

This was a strategic-level crop that could affect the country.

However, if you want to use the MC system to plant soybeans in batches to make up for the domestic gap, how to package and sell them to the outside world was also a troublesome matter.

Fortunately, this was just a long-term planting plan that Chen Jue had just envisioned.

Even the current 3,000 planting bases hadn't been excavated yet, so he could slowly ponder and study it later.

"Let's start with soybeans! Take it one step at a time."

"Now that I've come ashore, I have plenty of free time to study and plan."

"The Chinese people's rice bowl must be firmly held in their own hands." Chen Jue sighed in his heart, feeling that his whole pattern had been opened up after reading those old books given by his grandfather.

… …

After explaining the task of opening up new pits, he climbed out of the underground base.

After tossing around for half an afternoon, it was already evening. Outside the old house, the setting sun and afterglow were intertwined, and a visible expanse of dim yellow came into view.

He went up to the reservoir for a walk, blew the mountain breeze, and leisurely looked at the scenery of Chen Village while strolling.

He didn't plan to set up a stall and do ground promotion again tonight. He planned to rest for a day or two.

So, he sent Tie Yi and the Dog-Headed Strategist Chen Shang with 150 MC roasted chickens to Caidie Advertising in Ruixian County to pick up the newly made two stall carts.

By the way, he explained the task of setting up a stall in the part-time group and asked Zhao Xiaoguang, a flexible sales talent, to be responsible for arranging how to sell.

It was impossible for the boss to go to the front line and do it himself for a long time.

Chen Jue needed to empty his brain and think about the subsequent commercial layout of MC roasted chicken.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoguang did not disappoint his expectations. At 7 o'clock in the evening, he set up stalls for tasting in three high-end communities on Binjiang Road, and sent a good news of closing the stalls in the part-time group in less than half an hour.

In addition to the income of 15,000 in cash flow, the number of people joining the 'Chen Ji No. 1 Fan Group' also soared by more than 200 tonight, directly crowding out the 500-person quota of the group limit.

Seeing this, Chen Jue, who was remotely controlled, had no choice but to pull up a new group, and praised these enthusiastic high school students in the part-time group.

… …

Early the next morning, Chen Jue, who had emptied his mind for one night, took a car and appeared in Pingtou Village in Wencheng.

After arriving, he met his grandfather Li Jisheng, and sighed with several uncles about the wave of Shanghai green market that soared in the early morning of the day before yesterday, which allowed the vegetable farmers in several nearby villages to make a small profit.

After chatting, Chen Jue took his lackeys to the economic cooperative in Pingtou Village to explain the purpose of his trip, made an appointment with Li Fumin and several village cadres, and smelled the morning sun and began to conduct on-the-spot investigations all over the mountains and fields.

Finally, after crossing several mountain tops, he took a fancy to a dense forest-covered mountain depression with an area of more than 500 mu in the depths of Pingtou Village, and listed it as the destination for free-range MC-incubated Xianju chickens.

"President Chen, are you sure you want to contract this wild land to raise chickens?"

"Very few people come to this place usually, and there is no access, water, or electricity. It will cost a lot of money to enclose it and build chicken coops." Li Fumin asked with some surprise.

Because two mountain tops further ahead, closer to the highway in Pingtou Village, there was also a mountain depression that met the conditions, but the area was slightly smaller, and Chen Jue PASSed it at a glance.

"It's okay, the more remote it is, the closer it is to nature, and the chickens raised can be sold at a higher price!"

"Now those rich people in the city like this one."

Chen Jue didn't fool him, but told the truth.

When he was running an auto and motorcycle parts factory before, he once placed an order online for a batch of electronic gift certificates labeled 'Green Farm Free-Range Chicken' in order to give gifts to cooperative customers during the holidays.

The seller also created a real-time monitoring screen for raising chickens, and the main selling point was the original ecological wild chicken raising.

The problem was that the few customers Chen Jue cooperated with really liked this one!

While gnawing on those old and woody chicken meats, they praised the toy as healthy, and specially asked him for the website of the gift certificate to re-order it himself.

Of course, the main reason why Chen Jue chose this mountain depression was also to facilitate the connection of the 'Chen Ping Line' tunnel that had been dug underground.

In such a sparsely populated mountain depression, as long as chicken coops were built here and Iron Golems were allowed to be stationed as employees, the daily peeping of the villagers could be perfectly avoided.
