Chapter 332 (1/2)

The three came to the outer ring of the slave trade zone. After Jiang Chen paid 20000 Yajing, the 1000 slaves were transferred to his name. Led by the fish bone soldiers, the ragged slaves headed for the underpass.

They will be taken to the fish bone base, where they will undergo military training for three months. If they pass the examination, they will get rid of the status of slaves, become inferior citizens and be incorporated into the army. Those who fail to pass the examination will be sent to the colony for production.

After receiving the crystal, Hu Youde made an exaggerated bow to Jiang Chen and then walked away with his waist hooked.

”I bought it at a store on the sixth block... Do you know where it came from?” Pulling Zhao Chenwu aside, Jiang Chen took out the bag of cartridge case Valley and asked in the open door.

”Shell Valley? I know this stuff. It was not until my caravan came out of Suzhou and Hangzhou that I found that the waste soil was bigger than we thought. In Jingchu, 600 kilometers away, survivors are growing the grain. It was only recently that the grain came here along the trade route. ” Looking at the millet the size of the shell, Zhao Chenwu said with a bitter smile.

”What's the yield of this stuff?” Chen Jiang asked.

”The output is objective, but the soil is very demanding. Only when the pollution level and radiation value are lower than 20 can the plant be planted. Basically, no such soil can be found in Wanghai city. Even in the Jingchu area, there are not many farms that can grow this kind of crop. Although it can be planted with CNC planter, the cost will be very high. ”

Speaking of this. Zhao Chenwu pauses, reaches out his hand and grabs a few grains from the cartridge case valley.

”This kind of shell grain starch is mixed with several special plant proteins, so the structure is relatively close. If it's steamed into rice, it's usually rotten outside. But it could be raw. So this kind of shell grain is usually ground into flour, and then mixed with butter made from a kind of heterogeneous meat to make bread or biscuit, or simply used to make wine. My caravan saw these things in Wushi. When I saw that they could produce grain... To be honest, I was surprised. I thought that only the northern Union and some of the refuges could produce food, but I didn't expect that this edible mutant crop was discovered. ”

Radiation has brought too many accidents to the land. Just as no one knows what monsters will come out of the pit, no one knows what treasures may be hidden in it. When the plants of the old world can't breed on this soil, the plants of the new world will replace them.

”Does this mutant crop not accumulate toxins?” Jiang Chen asked in bewilderment.

In his impression, most of the plants on the waste soil can not be used, mainly because the toxins in the soil will accumulate in the plants. This is also the reason why the mutant fruit can not be eaten and can only be used as the raw material of nutrient mixture.

”This cartridge Valley is very special. The toxins are basically accumulated in the husk, so they can be eaten directly without throwing them into the organic reformer Zhao Chenwu sighed and said.

This is not good news. This kind of rice has spread to Wanghai city along with the commercial routes, which is bound to have an impact on the grain business jointly monopolized by the fish bone base and the Zhao group. Although the taste and taste of this kind of food is not as good as white rice, it is still a substitute for poor people who can't afford rice.

Seeing Jiang Chen fall into silence, Zhao Chenwu tentatively proposed.

”I once suggested that Chunan raise the tax rate of shell valley.”

”Oh? His answer is Jiang Chen asked.

”Free trade.” Zhao Chenwu reluctantly spread out his hand.

”He thinks the same as I do.” Jiang Chen laughs.

”Well. It's your business, after all. ” Zhao Chenwu saw that Jiang Chen did not have a heart, sighed, and did not insist.

Protective taxation is meaningless except that the poor can't afford it. Even if they can't afford it, they may not be able to consume food that they can't afford.

Objectively speaking, this kind of shell Valley appears in the sixth block, which is of great help to population growth. Only enough food can support more people. In the long run, the advantages of this kind of shell Valley outweigh the disadvantages.

...

after saying goodbye to Zhao Chenwu. Seeing that it was already late, Jiang Chen went to the Paradise Island Hotel for a night's rest.

The next morning, Jiang Chen returned to the fish bone base by helicopter.

In front of the square in the center of the community, under the statue of the mother of dead claws, a thousand slaves stood in black. The clothes of these slaves have been changed into the uniform of the fish bone base. Although they are uneasy about what is going to happen, there is no room for them to resist at gunpoint.

Cheng is standing on a temporary inspection platform, lecturing the recruits and reading out the rules of the fish bone base and the training plan for the next three months.
