Dr. Li Weixin choked on Jiagu's ability to make money.

He grabbed Chen Jianzhang and asked, "What is your budget for Jiagu to control this saline-alkali land?"

This is not a very secret matter, so Chen Jianzhang also told him: "The company plans to invest a total of 1.2 billion yuan in the construction of this 200,000 acres of barren beach land into a large-scale pasture and dairy factory with 100,000 dairy cows, and the cost of the saline-alkali land renovation project is expected to account for 20%." ”

Li Wei's news is astonishing at the scale of this investment.

A little comparison will show the energy contained in it.

In the past 30 years or so, the total national investment in the Huanghuaihai saline-alkali land treatment project has only been about 500 million yuan.

There is no way, in the past, the country was poor, and it was necessary to give priority to major projects, and there were too many places to spend money, so it was only in recent years that the investment in the Huanghuaihai saline-alkali land treatment project was slowly increased.

This is still the case that most of the land does not need to be invested, and the scientific and technological personnel gritted their teeth and overcame all difficulties and obstacles to achieve today's results.

And Jiagu smashed 200 million yuan just for the rapid transformation of 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land, which can't help but make people feel sad in comparison.

Li Weixin faced Chen Jianzhang, an old acquaintance, and couldn't help but say sourly: "Good guy, no wonder you resigned from the university so happily, it turned out that you really hugged a thick thigh." ”

Chen Jianzhang replied unceremoniously: "No, the days with the support of the financier behind him are simply not too tasteful!"

Li Weixin could only point at him and laugh helplessly.

......

The reclamation team invited by Jiagu is the agricultural development team of Jiangnan Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Group.

If it is a normal situation, it is very difficult to get help from Nongken Group.

Don't look at the inconspicuousness of Nongken Group, after all, it is a state-owned enterprise, and its independence is not weak at all.

Authorities and units will only put down their shelves when they are short of money. The government unit that is not bad for money is the most annoying, because he will not talk to you about money, nor will he talk to you about services, at most he will talk about policies, but if you talk deeply, he will talk about ideals and struggles with you......

And even if he is short of money, you have to pay homage to the dock in order to send the money out smoothly, and it is not uncommon to be unable to find the temple gate with a pig's head.

Fortunately, Jiangnan Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Group is not a local tyrant unit in today's era, and Jiagu proposed in the negotiations with the government that the government needs to coordinate and invite the Agricultural Reclamation Group to provide human and material support.

Of course, the benefits are indispensable.

For all the development team and machinery and equipment sent by the agricultural reclamation company, Jiagu will pay a labor fee and rent to the agricultural reclamation. Moreover, during the working period, the agricultural reclamation company does not have to bear any other expenses except for wages and daily benefits, bonuses, logistics and homecoming expenses, etc., Jiagu covers all of them.

This is equivalent to doubling the wages of hundreds of people, which not only saves money for the agricultural reclamation company, but also creates a lot of income, which can be regarded as a small supplement. Anyway, since the beginning of this year, the Jiangnan Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Company has not had any reclamation projects, and with his scale, sending hundreds of people is really nothing.

Jiagu's heavy investment in inviting the agricultural reclamation labor team is also targeted.

As we all know, machinery and equipment are easy to buy, and skilled workers are hard to find.

Moreover, it is not just a question of workers, but also of the management model. Nongken Group is one of the few teams in China with experience in agricultural development battles, and centralized, efficient, clear goals and collectivism are places where the battle model is different from the small-scale peasant economic model, and it is also a place where ordinary agricultural enterprises cannot learn if they want to.

However, this battle mode is very powerful when it comes to large-scale wasteland development.

The young Jiagu has neither such experience nor such strength, and it does not necessarily lead to good results just by exploring on his own and spending a lot of energy.

Therefore, the invitation of the agricultural team is not only to quickly promote the governance process, but also to get a glimpse of the management mode of the Chinese-style agricultural battle by stealing teachers and learning skills.

The bustling camp schedule lasted a day.

The next day, at dawn, the workers began to open up the wasteland with enthusiasm.

Seeing Jiagu's wealth, Dr. Li Weixin had to be convinced, and adjusted the planning plan, striving to improve the situation of this saline-alkali land in the shortest possible time.

Different from the previous small experimental fields, the transformation of large saline-alkali land, in addition to irrigation and salt washing, also needs to carry out canal repair, deep wells, digging alkali ditches and dredging projects.

Because the water table is shallow, in order to prevent the accumulation of salt, the most basic hydraulic engineering is necessary.

On the construction site, there are countless large machines leveling and ploughing the land back and forth, and the roar is shocking to the eardrums; excavators and scrapers are digging and digging ditches according to the planned terrain; some trucks responsible for transporting passenger soil are shuttling back and forth, coming and going, and they are very busy; and the land that has been leveled is lined up neatly like tofu blocks......

Xiao Cheng, a veteran technician, is the captain of the agricultural reclamation labor team, and he personally adheres to and coordinates on the construction site, and exchanges views with Dr. Li Weixin's team from time to time.

When Qi Zheng and Xie Kaiji came over, they saw the workers sweating like rain under the scorching sun, so they instructed Xie Kaiji: "Let the logistics prepare for summer tea, and at the same time arrange a good rest time to ensure everyone's health and ......."

Xie Kaiji nodded.

At this time, Xiao Cheng, the old captain who came over, heard this, and grinned: "Qi always has a heart, don't worry, I don't know how good the current conditions are, if these rabbit cubs don't work hard, I won't let them go." ”

"I think back then, when we were in the Great Northern Wilderness, how could we have such conditions as now? No matter how heavy the labor is, it is all carried by shoulders, if there is today's machine, I can't sleep if I can't sleep happily?"

When the old captain Xiao Cheng was young, he served as the production and construction corps of the Black Province, reclaiming the border, contributing his youth to the development and construction of the Great Northern Wilderness, and reminiscing about the past with faint pride.

Xiao Cheng said excitedly, stood and gestured with his hands: "Look at what we eat, drink, and use now." There is meat, soup, food and vegetables, the camp also has beds and bunks, and the whole process of land reclamation is mechanized...... Do you know how we got here?"

"Sleeping on the floor is a common thing, often sleeping in the open and starving; in summer, the precipitation is concentrated, mosquitoes and blind flies are flocked, when the farm is busy, the summer hoe is tense, and the ditches cannot be shoveled in a day, and the work in the field for 17 or eight hours a day is 'invisible in the morning and evening, and there are three meals in the field'; during the autumn harvest, when there is a continuous autumn rain, we can only use a sickle to plop the wheat in the muddy water and splash the muddy water; in the winter, it is bitterly cold and long, climbing ice and lying on the snow, and the cold wind is swishing indoors, and the wind is ...... everywhere."

He had a smile on his face, but he said that it was a difficult experience, "The Great Northern Wilderness is really cold, 'the breath is frost, the dripping water becomes ice, the bare hands are stiff, and the bare head is the ear is broken' is not a joke." But the most disgusting thing is the mosquitoes, which are just a handful of them. At night, all the mosquitoes come out, and the 'buzzing' sound is incessant. It's not uncommon to kill dozens of mosquitoes in a mosquito net at a time......"

Qi Zheng listened with embarrassment. When I was studying, I had heard similar stories, but when I was in a barren beach where there was no grass, I still felt a violent impact when I listened to the people involved tell real people and real stories.

A few decades ago, the magnificent and powerful "Great Northern Wilderness" movement stretched for thousands of miles and was silent for tens of thousands of years, turning the former wild land into today's "Great Northern Warehouse", consolidating the country's grain reserves and laying the foundation for the rapid development of the national economy in the future.

It is a person like the old captain who contributes himself to the backbone of the magical land of the Great Northern Wilderness, and uses sweat and youth to water a life without regrets, which is also a microcosm of laying the foundation of China's agriculture.

"But hard work is hard work, and seeing the wasteland in my own hands become fertile land, I feel that everything is worth it. After going around for so many years, the conditions are slowly getting better, but we still have to fight against the wasteland, and transforming more fertile land and producing more food is probably the proudest thing in my life......"

Dr. Li Weixin couldn't help but feel: "Yes, I still remember that when I first entered the Huanghuaihai Experimental Station, the people laughed when they heard that we were going to control the saline-alkali land and grow crops on this land. Some people can't help but advise, treat the disease but not the ringworm, treat the soil but not the alkali, treat the alkali without showing the face, let us stop treating it as soon as possible, what if the cure is not good, what should we do if we smash the brand of the Academy of Sciences?"

"But we don't believe in evil, and we just want to gnaw this bone off. When you are thirsty, you drink a sip of salty water, and when you are hungry, you eat a mouthful of wotou. Many of my colleagues are struggling to adapt to malnutrition. But our efforts were not in vain, and the soil was greatly improved that year......"

The two talked about their experiences, although the times are different, they both contain the same spiritual core, that is, the pioneers who dedicated themselves to the country, the spirit of perseverance and selfless dedication.

Qi Zheng admired but was speechless.

It is such a great and unknown person who supports China on the road to rejuvenation.

There is no need to applaud, only to remember that there are always some people who have pulled the country out of backwardness with dedication, struggle, and life.

That's enough.
