Chapter 689 Shang Ruoting's Suggestion
However, he understood the following words, which meant that as long as the newly developed wheat seeds were used, the winter wheat production in Beihe Province could be restored.
In this case, he must strive to obtain the wheat seeds and bring them back so that the farmers in Beihe Province can plant them first.
"Comrade Shang Ruoting, could you allocate more wheat seeds to our Beihe Province?"
Shang Ruoting really couldn't answer this question. After all, all these wheat seeds had been confiscated by the state as seeds, and it was not up to her to decide who they would be allocated to.
"Governor Luo, I'm sorry, but if Beihe Province wants to grow the newly developed winter wheat, they need to apply to the Ministry of Agriculture."
Governor Luo has been an official for so many years that he understands this principle. He told Shang Ruoting directly that he was just a little anxious.
"Okay, I'll go to the Ministry of Agriculture in a bit. No matter what, I have to fight for some benefits for the people of Beihe Province."
After a pause, Governor Luo continued, "Comrade Shang Ruoting, even though I'm in Beihe Province, I'm still well-informed. You and Tan Chen are both promising people. If anything good happens, you must think of your hometown first."
"This is natural. I will remember it." Shang Ruoting was not bragging. With the agricultural technology she mastered, no matter where she developed it, she would be a very impressive presence.
And she herself has such an idea. First of all, considering the geographical location and climate of Beihe Province, and also it is her second hometown. No matter which point, she will put Beihe Province in the priority list.
Seeing that such outstanding talents as Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen have come to Beijing, Governor Luo feels sorry for them because he is afraid that they will not choose to return to Beihe Province for development in the future.
But since he's here, he has to bring back some tangible benefits first.
"Comrade Shang Ruoting, look at our Beihe Province. Many people still don't have enough to eat. If you have any good ideas, could you help them?"
Seeing Governor Luo speak, Shang Ruoting couldn't refuse again and again.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a good idea."
When Governor Luo heard this, his eyes lit up: "Tell me quickly, if you have any good ideas, I will thank you on behalf of the people."
"I wonder what Governor Luo thinks about people engaging in animal husbandry?"
"It's not that I haven't considered the idea of raising livestock, but our country's grain production is currently low, and many families have trouble getting enough to eat. How can we have extra grain to feed livestock?"
When it comes to breeding, Governor Luo really has a headache. Although it is a way to make people rich, there is really no extra food.
Shang Ruoting looked confident.
"What if the species I'm talking about only eats grass, leaves, grass roots, and tree roots? That should be okay, right?"
"Is there such a breeding variety?" Governor Luo racked his brains but couldn't figure out what Shang Ruoting was talking about.
Seeing that Governor Luo was anxious, Shang Ruoting didn't intend to keep him in suspense.
"The breeding species I'm talking about is ostriches. I wonder if Governor Luo has heard of them?"
"Ostrich?" Governor Luo was completely stunned. He had heard of and seen ostriches, but he had never known that this thing could be farmed?
What is the purpose of breeding it?
What is profit?
Shang Ruoting patiently explained: "Yes, you heard it right, it is to raise ostriches. Ostrich eggs can be sold for money, and ostrich meat is also very nutritious.
Moreover, if scientific breeding is carried out, ostrich chicks can grow to 200 kilograms or even more in a year. Ostrich meat is currently rare in our country, and its price will definitely be higher than that of pork and beef.
If you do a rough calculation, how much income would this be?"
The more Governor Luo listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"Since you can come up with this suggestion, you can definitely get some ostrich chicks, right?"
There are now hundreds of adult magnetic ostriches in Shang Ruoting's space. In addition to supplying a portion of ostrich eggs to Ping An Hotel, we have now obtained hundreds of them.
If Governor Luo wants to develop the economy of Beihe Province, she doesn't mind providing him with a large number of ostrich chicks.
"Tan Chen has a friend who can get ostrich chicks abroad, but it will take some time."
If it was about raising chickens, ducks, geese, etc., Governor Luo would make the decision without any reason. However, this was the first time he heard of raising ostriches. Although he was very tempted, he was reluctant to make a rash decision before thinking it through.
"I've taken note of your suggestion. When I return to Beihe Province, I'll call someone to study it. If there's no problem, I'll contact you. Then I'll ask you and Tan Chen to help me buy the ostrich chicks."
Shang Ruoting could understand Governor Luo's thoughts at the moment. After all, it was something he had never encountered before, so it was understandable that he thought it through carefully.
