Chapter 267 Global Hunger Index

ps: Starting today, each chapter is 5,000 words! I hope everyone can continue to support Chen Ai and this book, thank you!

...........

The night was hazy, and Lin Jiaxin, who was exhausted and fell asleep by herself, returned to the bedroom. Looking at the other party's brows that were still slightly frowning even while sleeping, Liu Xiaoyu gently smoothed it with his hands. Although he didn't know why, he knew his wife very well, but he knew that the beauty in front of him must have something that he couldn't let go.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Liu Xiaoyu pulled Lin Jiaxin and took Hanhan and Xiaohu up the mountain. After a while, he walked to an octagonal pavilion. He hugged his wife in his arms and asked softly: "Xin'er, tell me, you can't let go of anything you have. I can't see my husband."

"Well, Yu, during the time I went home, I accidentally saw a documentary report about the world hunger index. Looking at the eyes of the skinny foreigners on the TV screen, especially those children who were full of desire because of hunger, I... I felt very uncomfortable, they... they were so pitiful." Lin Jiaxin choked and said with sobs.

After hearing his wife's words, Liu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that it might be his father-in-law and something went wrong with his mother-in-law. But after Lin Jiaxin finished speaking, he realized what his wife was doing.

This so-called global hunger index, Liu Xiaoyu had also heard of it when he was an otaku. It was a comprehensive index of the undernutrition rate relative to the total population, the low weight rate, mortality rate, etc. of children under 5 years old, released by the International Food Policy Institute (Ifpri) on January 14 each year.

Holding his wife, Liu Xiaoyu asked Xiaopiao Astronomy to check the relevant information. After a while, the other party gave the ranking of the latest global hunger index. According to the report, the Congo (Dragon) is currently the most severe famine in the world, followed by Burundi, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, Chad and Ethiopia.

The citizens of these countries are almost always in a state of hunger. When eating full is a problem, eating well is a luxury and fantasy. In fact, not only the people of these countries, but also many people in some places in the country live on the poverty line. Not to mention a well-off society, even the daily food and clothing are a problem.

Looking at the report given by Little Noah, the videos and photos. The film information, Liu Xiaoyu was speechless for a long time. These things made him feel a great impact without seeking progress. He has always been very sad before he got alien civilization, as an otaku, who was deeply hurt. But after getting alien civilization, his life was not only glorious, but also free and easy enough.

From beginning to end, Liu Xiaoyu never thought that there were still many people in this world. After seeing the real lives of hungry people, he compared himself with those rich and powerful people, but his original unhindered heart was very entangled.

When he was worried about what to eat today, that fresh life was praying to God for something that could only fill his stomach. Such a sharp contrast made Liu Xiaoyu feel a lot. He gently wiped away the tears from the face of the beautiful man in his arms, and he said softly:

"Xin'er, don't hurt your heart. Believe in your husband, I, all this will be fine."

There were not too many words or promises, but Lin Jiaxin heard the heavy weight contained in her man's words. She understood that she knew that her man was not a person who liked to make promises lightly, so after hearing this very simple sentence, she stopped her tears, held the other person's face lightly with her hands, and said:

"Yu, I believe in you."

At the same time, Sun Wei, Yao Jian and Chen Weijie received calls from Liu Xiaoyu one after another. The content of the call was very simple, "I don't care what you are doing, put down what you are doing and return to the valley as quickly as possible. I have something to announce." There is no reason, let alone anything. The phone is Liu Xiaoyu's rare deepness.

Yao Jian, who followed Liu Xiaoyu for a while, knew his brother's temper well, so he drove back to the valley after receiving the call. When Liu Xiaoyu made the call, Yao Jun and his family were all together, so this time, not only Yao Jian, but the entire Yao family.

The two arrived were Chen Weijie, unlike Yao Jian. She was planning to return to the valley that day even without this call. After all, the black panther named Black Bean is still kept in the valley. When she is fine, she would return to the valley to see her unique pet leopard.

The last one to arrive was Sun Wei. When Liu Xiaoyu called, he was having a social event outside. The phone rang after half of the drink. After answering the phone, fortunately, he felt that something was going to be a child. Since seeing the tough background of the Liu family, Sun Wei has always maintained a very low attitude, not only to the Liu family, but also to Yao Jian.

Although he knew that the guests he wanted to accompany this meal were not small, after weighing it in his heart, Sun Wei still found an excuse to drive to the valley. The brothers at the table looked at each other in surprise after he left, and thought to himself, who was the sacred person who called this, which could make our eldest son Sun so obedient.

These guys with a good background have thought that the call might have been called by Sun Wei's father or grandfather, but when Sun Wei answered the phone, he saw that it was Liu Xiaoyu's number, so he casually called Brother Yu. It was possible that Young Master Sun, who could be said to be a local snake, would have thought about what kind of character he would be. It is no wonder that those guys would guess randomly there.

After a group of people gathered in Taoyuan Valley, under the auspices of Liu Xiaoyu, the Yijie Valley People's Conference began in the bamboo house of Chenyin Taoist. The theme of the meeting was to establish a Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. as soon as possible. This company is mainly engaged in special planting and breeding, agricultural supplies and agricultural technology promotion services, related agricultural products processing and other businesses, and in private, it mainly engages in agricultural product research and improvement projects.

The reason for doing this is because Liu Xiaoyu knew that no matter how rich he was, it would be a drop in the bucket for those countries in the hunger index report. What's more, the old saying goes, "It's better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish." That's why he thought of establishing such a company to improve the global agricultural industry as soon as possible.

In fact, whether it is Sun Wei or Yao Jian, they have all had the idea of ​​improving species in the valley, but they were rejected. In Liu Xiaoyu's opinion, whether he built the Liu family compound or went to his hometown village in the past, in addition to trying to upgrade his space master's brain as soon as possible, he also wanted to make his living conditions better.

But now, if he wants money, he has money and has relationships. It is enough for him to live a leisurely life on this acre of two-part land in Nanjing. In addition, the display of space is now on track, and he no longer needs to be busy with some energy. So he has created such a paradise like Taoyuan Valley and is free and easy.

Liu Xiaoyu had no interest in being a savior. But this time he was so mobilized not for the sake of reputation, but just to seek peace of mind. He really couldn't eat and drink without worry when he learned that someone might starve to death at any time.

Of course, this meeting was also changed by Liu Xiaoyu. He explained directly at the meeting that the reason he wanted to do this was to accumulate enough merit. Is this immortal cultivation? It is definitely not possible to have no merit, and merit is like the ticket to the ark above 2o12, and the Xuanzong where Taoist Chen Yin is located is naturally the ark.

The meeting went smoothly, and everyone in the room was deeply shocked by the video materials played by Liu Xiaoyu. Not only Chen Weijie and Yao Jian's wife, but also his mother was crying when they watched it. Even Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen, who had been in the army all their lives, sighed.

After talking about the reason for merit, Liu Xiaoyu did not forget to bring out the big cake of profit to tempt everyone. Think about it, although the earth's technology is quite high now, agriculture has always been the top priority of every country.

In terms of rice alone, from the initial output of several hundred kilograms per mu to the current output of nearly 1,000 kilograms per mu, my country has not given up on the research on further increasing the yield per mu, which means the importance of agriculture to a country.

It can be said that without agriculture, no matter how powerful your country is, it is just a city built on the desert, and may be submerged under the dust of history at any time. Therefore, the business opportunities contained in it are no worse than those found in industry or commerce.

After the meeting, Sun Wei, who was stunned by the profit pie created by Liu Xiaoyu, immediately began to prepare for various matters of the agricultural technology company. Yao Jian, Chen Weijie and even Sun Laos also used their abilities to work hard for this ambitious goal.

In just one week, this agricultural technology company called New Century was officially registered in Nanjing. As for the company's factory site, it was also designated in Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone (formerly known as Nanjing Xingang Industrial Zone). The reason why I chose it is mainly because it is close to Nanjing Port Xinshengwei Foreign Trade Port Area and has the conditions for import and export. It is also quite close to the Second Bridge and has extremely convenient transportation.

After the factory site was confirmed, Liu Xiaoyu arranged for someone to build a test base in Liuhe District. After all, it would be unreasonable for those who do agricultural technology without land at hand. After all, some things cannot be convinced by theoretical data, after all, there must be practical things.

New Century Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as New Century Agriculture for a short time, so as not to say that I am making up the word count.) The goal of the first year was not only to build the factory in the port opening area, but the main task was to lie in the experimental base located in Liuhe. Considering that it is better to proceed step by step, Liu Xiaoyu only took out a rice seed after initial improvement by Little Noah.

As for the current domestic rice yield, the average per mu yield is generally around 400 kilograms, and the maximum per mu yield capacity of grade hybrid rice reaches about 800 kilograms. Of course, when the yield increases, the taste of the rice will naturally fall. This can be considered as one gain and one loss.

This rice seed was named New Century i by Liu Xiaoyu. The initial yield per mu should be about 800 kilograms per mu. This alone can already reach the highest production capacity of current hybrid rice. As for quality and taste, Liu Xiaoyu only retains the taste and quality of mid-range rice on the market. In his opinion, mass-produced rice and high-end rice should be distinguished.

As for the planting and maturity periods of the New Century i rice seeds and their adaptability to the environment, Liu Xiaoyu made appropriate adjustments. The adaptability is the most effort, and the maturity period is still maintained at the basic situation of two ripenings a year. In other words, unless there are two extreme environments of cold and warm, any region can guarantee such a maturity cycle. Of course, if the environment and soil are suitable, three ripenings a year are actually not a problem.

With the climate and environment of Nanjing, the New Century i rice seeds can be ripened three times a year. In addition to the slightly longer maturity cycle during winter, it can also mature twice in spring, summer and autumn. With this, the advantages of this New Century i rice seed are enough to make the rice seeds on the market feel ashamed, let alone if they are planted in places like Laojia Village or Taoyuan Valley, it can be ripened four times.

Because it happened to be March, it was a good time to sow the New Century No. 1 rice seeds, so 80% of the fields in the experimental base were planted with this kind of rice, and there were also relevant personnel tracking records throughout the process. Not only did they leave corresponding photos, videos as materials, but also detailed data in each stage of growth period as retained. After all, these realistic data can be more trustworthy than those theoretical data.

As for the remaining two hundred fields in the experimental base, Liu Xiaoyu thought about it and took out two more varieties. However, these two are not rice varieties, but corn and sweet potatoes. Although corn cannot be used as a staple food in today's life, Liu Xiaoyu himself likes to eat this thing very much. Otherwise, when he first had space, he would not have grown it specifically for sale.

Moreover, the yield of corn is much larger than that of rice. In addition to its characteristics, it can also be processed into corn germ oil or used as feed and industrial raw materials. After increasing the yield per mu, Liu Xiaoyu did not forget to speed up the maturity period a little.

Originally, the maturity periods of each corn area in my country were generally divided into: Northeast, northern North China and parts of the northwest are the one-ripe spring corn area per year; the North China Plain is mainly ripe summer corn per year; the hilly mountainous areas in the southwest and south are complex terrain, with high-altitude mountainous areas being ripe spring corn per year, hilly mountainous areas being ripe summer corn per year, and plains and shallow mountainous areas being mainly ripe autumn corn per year.

Based on the climate and environment in Nanjing, Liu Xiaoyu changed the maturity period of corn and sweet potatoes in his hand to a minimum of two ripening per year. It is not a problem to have three or even four ripening per year in a good climate and environment.

The reason why sweet potatoes are made is to facilitate the mutual intercropping of the two. This not only saves the use of fields, but also increases the yield per mu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Sweet potatoes cannot be compared with corn, let alone compared to staple foods like rice. Moreover, people may easily have stomach acid, stomach pain and other phenomena when they eat too much. But now some people have used this thing to make sugar, make wine and make alcohol through corresponding technologies. It can be considered a multi-purpose thing.

Liu Xiaoyu directly divided the two things of corn and sweet potato into two grades: quantity products and excellent products. The corn used to measure products is based on the ordinary yellow corn on the market as a sample. In addition to the increase in output by 50%, the taste has also been appropriately improved. Of course, even so, it is impossible to compare with ordinary sweet corn and glutinous corn.

The high-quality corn is based on the sweet corn and glutinous corn that are more savory on the market. The combination of the two has improved the taste of a completely sweet corn when eaten fresh, but when eaten cooked, it is a variety of glutinous corn when eaten. As for the taste, it is indeed much better than the corn currently used on the market. However, in order to maintain a balance, Liu Xiaoyu has also restricted the yield.

Sweet potatoes are simple. The mass-produced varieties are the same as corn, which have increased the yield by about 50%. In terms of taste, there is no other advantage except for the sweetness. The sweet potatoes of the best are different. Liu Xiaoyu directly used the purple potato on the market as a sample to improve a variety. In addition to the beautiful purple color, the fruits of this high-quality product are almost the same size after growing, and the taste is incomparable to ordinary purple potatoes. However, the yield is also limited.

In Liu Xiaoyu's words, is this good thing? It's better to have a rarer thing. Isn't it said that rare things are expensive? Anyway, these high-quality purple potatoes and sweet jade glutinous rice are not targeted at those who live on the poverty line. For those rich, good things should be expensive. It just so happens that Liu Xiaoyu can use these high-quality products to make money and make profits to fill the losses that may occur in the quantity of products.

One rice seed, two corn seeds, two sweet potato seeds. Liu Xiaoyu estimated that these five rice and coarse grain varieties should be enough to cope with the current stage of the New Century Agricultural business. However, if you want to formally promote these things, you have to wait for a batch of harvest to succeed. After all, you must have sufficient realistic data and a sufficient number of seeds.

However, after these things were planted, Sun Wei started to start his business. Not only did he find relevant channels, but he also invited two more prestigious professors from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to personally follow up the entire process in his experimental base.
