Super Dimension Technology Era

Lingnan Shanmei.

At this time, many rural areas have begun to replant crops. Since most of the rice fields are paddy fields, in order to avoid being flooded in the next rainy season, various rural cooperatives began to repair drainage ditches.

In fact, rural cooperatives in Shanmei have developed relatively quickly, which is actually related to the social environment of Shanmei.

First, young people have gone to the Pearl River Delta to work, while the remaining old people are working in agriculture; second, many wealthy families feel that farming is too tiring and uneconomical, and many farmers are actually urban residents.

They all join the farmland and orchards in rural cooperatives to gain some income every year.

And those young people have no objection. They work outside, and the farmland is wasted. Why not make use of it?

As for those farmers who were originally farming, they could not bear the temptation of wages and five social insurances and one housing fund. They joined the cooperative with their land and successfully became agricultural workers.

In Qinglongtou Village near Shanmei City, more than a dozen farmers are working enthusiastically.

The Qinglongtou Village Cooperative transferred a large number of agricultural machinery from the Shanmei Urban Rural Cooperative (Branch). In fact, agricultural machinery in many areas of the country has obvious uneven spatial and temporal distribution.

Some farmers' agricultural machinery is used less than two or three times a year and will rust in warehouses; while some people have no agricultural machinery to use, or they can only rent it.

Rural cooperatives can effectively solve this problem. By establishing a comprehensive resource database, they can know how many plows, rice transplanters, harvesters, water pumps, etc. there are in an area.

Through reasonable scheduling and full utilization of resources, every natural village rural cooperative does not need to purchase a large amount of agricultural machinery. Firstly, it can reduce operating costs, and secondly, it can make full use of resources.

The sweaty old farmer Yang Shugen was digging a drainage ditch with deft hands and feet. At the age of sixty-three, he should have retired, but he was still working hard.

Who doesn’t want to retire at sixty, and who doesn’t want to enjoy his old age in peace, but the reality is often so cruel, and Chinese farmers and workers have sacrificed too much.

Some people have been working all their lives, from ignorant teenagers to gray-haired old men. The bitterness of this can only be understood through personal experience.

Yang Shugen considered that his two sons now had to marry and buy a house, and he was still strong, so he worked in the cooperative.

Originally, Huanong Group did not plan to recruit these overage farmers, but Huang Mingzhe personally promoted a special bill.

That is the "Special Exemption for Rural Farmers Act", which allows Huanong Group to hire over-age farmers and retain their original rural social security and medical insurance, but the five social insurances and one housing fund will no longer be deducted from their wages.

This is a temporary plan for farmers over fifty, and the period is ten years from 2015 to 2025.

After 2025, all migrant workers over 60 years old will be forced to retire, because Huanong Group will uniformly issue pensions.

This is a temporary transition plan. In ten years, Huang Mingzhe is confident that with the help of cheap electricity from controllable nuclear fusion, a comprehensive transformation of agriculture and rural areas will be achieved, and a real retirement system for farmers will be realized by then.

Therefore, 63-year-old Yang Shugen became a specially hired employee of the Qinglongtou Village Rural Cooperative.

He picked up the shawl, wiped the sweat from his forehead, spit and rubbed it in his hands, then picked up the hoe and repaired the ditch.

This is a drainage ditch excavated by machinery, but there are always corners and corners that the machinery cannot take care of, which requires manual repair.

"Uncle, have a drink of water." Yang Haisheng, his nephew, handed over a bottle of boiled water.

"Haisheng, I'm not thirsty." Yang Shugen worked hard.

Yang Haisheng opened the water bottle himself, took a big gulp, and then stood and muttered softly: "Huh! This is so good, why don't you plant rice?"

"You guys need to rest in the rest area. Don't just stand here. Be careful about your bonus this month." Yang Shugen reminded without raising his head.

Um... Yang Haisheng was shocked and quickly picked up a sand shovel to pick up the dirt. Last month, he was working as a laborer on the farm, and as a result, he was deducted a thousand yuan bonus.

All areas of the farm are covered with dense surveillance cameras. There is no way for anyone to take advantage of this situation.

During work, you can go to a special rest area to rest. The farm implements a nine-hour work system, and these nine hours include one hour for rest.

Through the seamless management of artificial intelligence, it is ensured that the principle of more work, more gain can be implemented.

Huanong Group's artificial intelligence monitoring system is managed uniformly by the headquarters. Local rural cooperatives have no rights to manage it, avoiding the possibility of secret operations and safeguarding the legitimate interests of agricultural workers.

Regardless of whether it is a factory or a company, if it does not pay attention to the foreign workers and cannot ensure the fairness and justice of the reward and punishment system, the result will be that the enthusiasm of those who work hard will be diminished.

Not far from where Yang Shugen and others were building the ditch, glass greenhouses were being built on a large piece of land that had just been leveled.

These glass greenhouses are used for growing vegetables and fruits. In order to prevent typhoons, the greenhouses are specially reinforced.

These greenhouses are not crude plastic film greenhouses, but very advanced indoor agricultural greenhouses.

There is a temperature control, humidity and light control system inside, as well as a drip irrigation system, ozone and ultraviolet disinfection systems that can save water.

There is also a very strict air filtration and disinfection system that can prevent viruses, bacteria and fungi from spreading into the greenhouse. Even if you are accidentally infected, the infection can be contained within a certain range by closing the greenhouse.

The proportion of glass greenhouses in Lingnan is not large. In Heijiang Province, another pilot province, the scale of glass greenhouses is huge.

At this time, countless glass greenhouses are being built. Not only vegetables and fruits will be in the greenhouses, but also food crops such as rice, wheat, potatoes, millet, and soybeans are also planned to be produced in the greenhouses.

Qiqihar City.

Near Prosperity County, here is the Nenjiang Plain, which is also a famous commercial grain growing area in China.

A large area of ​​land is being transformed into a glass greenhouse, and the height of the glass greenhouse has reached about fifteen meters.

"Director Xia, is this feasible? With so many greenhouses, the electricity bill is a big problem!" A farmer asked worriedly.

"Old Zhao, just relax! Look at this." Xia Yulai opened an internal notice on a cell phone like that and said.

Lao Zhao took a puff of his old cigarette and said, "Director Xia, I don't understand a lot of Chinese characters. Can you just tell me what it is?"

Several other farmers also pricked up their ears.

"The cooperative in Lingnan has received a subsidized electricity price. Guess how much it is!" Xia Yulai said mysteriously.

"Is it a dime a time?"

"How is that possible? I guess two cents is not bad."

Xia Yulai smiled and gestured with two fingers.

"I just said two cents."

“The price is okay.”

"Haha..." Xia Yulai smiled and shook his head and said a shocking number: "Two cents per degree."

"What?"

"Two cents a degree?"

“The grid has gone crazy?”

Obviously, many farmers are frightened by this number. As the Northeast region has the highest degree of mechanized agriculture in the country, they all know how cheap this price is.

Xia Yulai explained: "Only those who join rural cooperatives can enjoy this subsidized electricity price. It will be implemented next month in Lingnan, and it may not be until October here. Now everyone is talking about whether to build a greenhouse."

Of course, many farmers agreed. If the electricity price were this, they would dare to turn on heating and fluorescent lamps to grow vegetables and grains in winter.
