This place is poor and sparsely populated, and basically belongs to the zone of no two things.

For Kaya, there are both good and bad sides.

The good thing is that this place has always been taken seriously, and Jiagu wants to contract it, and there will be no obstacles.

The bad thing is that if you want to contract this large area of saline-alkali land across the two provinces, you have to go to both sides and obtain the policy support of the two provinces at the same time, which greatly increases the workload.

Wang Yuye led the company's legal department to negotiate with the county government to which the plot belongs.

Not surprisingly, although the area is large, because it is a saline-alkali land, it takes a huge amount of money to develop it, and in the eyes of the county governments on both sides, it is simply a chicken rib land.

Nowadays, some enterprises are willing to take the initiative to manage and develop this saline-alkali land, or for agricultural purposes, I don't say it, I absolutely support it.

Don't worry, this land is planned as wasteland, and the national policy encourages agricultural entities to give priority to the development of unused wasteland without damaging the ecological environment - the ecological environment here no longer exists, so Jiagu's contract has a legal basis.

It doesn't matter if it lacks the support of preferential policies, it is a wasteland that no one cares about, and if you want to fully develop it, you don't know how much money you have to invest, and the government is also difficult to develop the problem of funds, but the contract price has dropped again and again, and it is basically the price of cabbage.

Moreover, in terms of taxation, the treatment of saline-alkali land is huge, and the time span is also large, giving Jiagu the largest preferential policies, especially the direct tax exemption in the first three years.

After some negotiations, Jiagu successfully won the 50-year contract right of about 200,000 acres of barren beach land outside the two villages.

Among them, about 70,000 acres belong to Min Province, and the rest belong to Jiangnan Province.

In order to avoid disputes that may arise in the future, it will be developed in two parts.

According to the topography of the north high and the south low and the size of the consumer market, the main body of the pasture, including the dairy factory, is built in the Jiangnan Province area, which is conducive to the development of the subsequent market.

The Minsheng part will be used as a subsidiary forage production base for the pasture.

Winning the contracting right is only the beginning, and the follow-up governance is the most important.

And the top priority is that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

The roads leading to Jiangnan Province and Min Province here are dirt roads, and they are in disrepair and full of potholes, because they are remote and wilderness, no one will be idle and invest huge sums of money to build roads.

Whether it is the treatment and development of saline-alkali land or the subsequent operation of pastures, a smooth road traffic is required, and it is best to open up the roads leading to the two provinces on both sides.

There is no doubt that this huge amount of money for road construction has to be borne by Jiagu alone.

According to calculations, the investment in road repair in the early stage alone will cost more than 100 million, and the key is that you also have to invest in this infrastructure construction fund with a very low rate of return.

It's no wonder that this side has been barren, even if someone wants to manage and develop, they can't get enough money to sell the pants.

Among them, the most surprising are the villagers of Luokou Village and Dongqiao Village.

Looking at Jiagu's vigorous investment, all the villagers are looking forward to the road being repaired, especially when the leaders of the village committee heard that the road was going to be repaired, they all clapped their hands and warmly welcomed them, and took the initiative to express their strong contribution and some people, which also made Qi Zheng deeply understand the desire of the two villages for development.

The biggest benefit of being a business is the flexibility of decision-making.

With abundant funds, Jiagu quickly finalized the road construction project, which was divided into two sections and started construction at the same time, and the plan was to be completed and opened to traffic within five months.

......

In order to use the most advanced improvement technology, Chen Jianzhang of the laboratory has attracted foreign aid.

Li Weixin, a doctor from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is also the deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Winter Camp Comprehensive Experimental Station, was invited to come with a few researchers.

As soon as they met, he left a deep impression on everyone in Jiagu: black and red face, broad shoulders, just in his forties, and the wrinkles on his face were already clearly visible.

As a result of his long-term work in the transformation of saline wasteland, his hands became unusually thick and his teeth became yellow.

It is already difficult to distinguish him from ordinary peasants in terms of appearance alone. If it weren't for Chen Jianzhang's introduction, who would have thought that this was a scholar who had studied in the United States and now an expert of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

Li Weixin and Chen Jianzhang are both fellow countrymen and close friends. Therefore, he did not shy away from talking to Chen Jianzhang: "When you just resigned from the university, I felt pity. With your knowledge, you have a great chance of entering the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”

"I was afraid that you would be confused by money. Fortunately, it seems that you are still a bit of a pursuit. ”

Chen Jianzhang smiled helplessly, "I was confused by money, but I couldn't forget the land under my feet." ”

Li Weixin laughed, "That's enough." The earth and the future are under our feet. At the end of the day, we all fight for the ground under our feet all our lives. You can get out and use what you've learned, and it's not a good way. ”

Chen Jianzhang also smiled.

Chen Jianzhang solemnly introduced Li Weixin to Qi Zheng and others.

In Chen Jianzhang's words, when he first met Li Weixin more than ten years ago, he was still a young man in his prime, but now his face is dark, his voice is thick, and he is like an "old farmer".

This is because he joined the national project to improve the saline-alkali land around the Bohai Sea.

This is a huge agricultural science and technology project, and it is planned to achieve the goal of greatly increasing grain production through the transformation of more than 40 million mu of low- and medium-yielding fields and more than 10 million mu of saline-alkali wasteland in the Bohai Rim region, and to build the Bohai Rim region, which has suffered from drought, flood, and alkali disasters for a long time, into an important "granary" in China.

Since the 60s of the last century, two generations of scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been relaying and dedicating themselves to this saline-alkali land for more than 30 years. A number of new grain varieties and key agricultural technologies selected and innovated by them have had a remarkable effect on the improvement of local saline-alkali wasteland and the increase of agricultural yield and income.

Behind this series of achievements is the willingness of a group of unknown scientific and technological elites like Li Weixin.

This is a group of high-level intellectuals, but also a special group of "peasants".

They could have lived an enviable and privileged life in the bustling metropolis, but they planted their "roots" deep in that barren saline-alkali land for the ideals in their hearts.

Far from the city and loved ones, there are no flowers and applause, and even basic living facilities are lacking.

What made this group of tech elites abandon the privileged life of the big city and choose to put down roots there?

"Probably the head iron. Li Weixin said.

When he was studying in the United States, the tide of agricultural science and technology around the world was in the ascendant, and a bright future seemed to beckon him. However, Li Weixin ended his career in the United States early after returning to his hometown to visit relatives and returned to work at the winter camp experimental station.

In this regard, Li Weixin smiled, "Who asked me to learn this? Who made this my home?"

"How simple it is for people to really do our job, the conditions are so difficult, but the work is so serious!" Li Weixin said, "In order to manage the saline-alkali land of Huanghuaihai, no matter how hard and tired it is, I am not afraid!"

"People always need a little bit of spirit. He said, "Now the working and living conditions of scientific research personnel have been greatly improved, but the spirit of hard work and silent dedication cannot be lost." ”

"Actually, I have always been worried about whether the new generation of young people who have grown up in the tide of the market economy still have the fighting spirit that we have? But I have seen that there are young people and enterprises like you who have begun to move from the city to the countryside, and continue to struggle along the road we have walked. I don't worry anymore. ”

Qi Zheng was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Actually, we are still here to make money......"

"Who isn't here to make money?" Li Weixin interrupted Qi Zheng's words, "As long as you work hard to turn the barren land into fertile land and the barren mountains and bald mountains into lush green, it will be of great significance." Isn't it incidental to make more money?"

Well, that's right!
