Chapter 444: They Will Achieve Revival (2/2)
Qi Zheng didn't know that anyone was full of confidence in Jiagu's "killing the Quartet".
At this time, he was approving the expansion plan of the Jiagu Desert Management and Development Department.
Today, the Desert Management and Development Team has been upgraded to the departmental level, directly under the jurisdiction of the Group Headquarters, coordinating the corresponding business of each subsidiary in the desert.
The scale of the second phase of Jiagu desert treatment and development has reached 5 million mu, and the expected investment is 5 billion yuan - with the maturity of Jiagu desertification control technology, the cost of transforming each mu of desert has begun to decrease. Of course, the first phase of the project has not recovered much investment, and it still looks a bit scary to smash such a large amount of money.
However, not to mention the economic benefits, the results of governance - millions of acres of green desert are really placed there, and Jiagu has begun to develop economic industries, and the state will of course continue to show its support.
In order to coordinate the labor needs of Jiagu, the government led the relocation and settlement of nomadic villages scattered in the desert. Jiagu funded the construction of a new village for ecological migrants in the oasis to provide a stable home for nomadic herders.
The Nergentu family is welcomed with both hands and feet.
Life in the desert is just unknown, it's too hard.
There are 30 families in their village, which is said to be a village, but the two nearest families are also five or six kilometers apart. There is no water, no electricity, no road in the desert, go to the town by camel riding, set off in the morning and it will be almost dark to arrive, and you can only spend the night in the town at night, get up early the next morning, hurriedly buy daily necessities, hurry back to go, and get home after dark.
It's nothing, the point is that there is no income.
The Nergentu family of five lived in a low mud house and lived nomadically.
Because of the arid climate, the grass is scattered, and in order for the sheep to survive, they have to constantly change fields, and when the grass is eaten up by the sheep in one place, they go to another place, five or six times a year.
The dry weather and human activities have caused the only vegetation to be destroyed so badly that the sheep are now unable to eat seven or eight times a year. In the village, as far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea of sand everywhere, and their life is almost unbearable.
Now being able to move to a new village with complete infrastructure and water connections is a paradise.
What's even happier is that both husband and wife have been hired by Jiagu and have become long-term managers of Jiagu Oasis with a stable income.
Therefore, for the large-scale transformation of the desert launched by Jiagu, nomads like Nergentu who have "reborn" have burst out with a strong enthusiasm for work.
Nonsense, having suffered from the ravages of sandstorms, no one wants to see the scene of "reckless yellow sand covering the sky and the sun" in the past.
These are the results of the first batch of "cattle in the wilderness" of Jiagu, and now, they want to follow in the footsteps of their "predecessors" and go deep into the hinterland, spreading the "green carpet" of wind and sand fixation all over the desert.
Laying grass checkered sand barriers, biological soil crusting, tree planting and grass planting...... Transforming the desert environment, just like fighting guerrilla warfare, cannot be achieved overnight, and can only accumulate small victories into big victories.
During the day, the temperature in the desert is as high as 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, and the water pipes have not yet been laid in place, so they have to pull water again and again to irrigate them, and their coats emit a pungent smell under the scorching sun......
......
It was another evening, and after a day of fierce battles, the "wasteland clearing team" who got up early and stayed late returned to the camp or home.
Amos, who was in the camp, looked through the window and saw the crowd returning with a tired but laughing face, and it was hard to hide his surprise.
He was an assistant to Abraham, an expert in water management and water technology in Israel.
After the development of the desert in Jiagu expanded, it was intended to learn from Israel and build a network of irrigation pipes throughout the desert to reduce evaporation and leakage, so that the scene of hard work to carry water to irrigate the fields under the scorching sun will never return.
To do this, Gagok hired the most experienced Israeli water management experts to help design the plan, and Abraham led a team into the desert.
After settling down, what impressed the Israelis the most was the degree of "desperateness" of the Chinese.
"Their desertification control team seems to have grown again. In my opinion, a Chinese can be used by two or three people, and they almost only rest when they sleep, and work at least ten hours a day...... "The young Amos is more in contact with the people of European and American countries, and in his eyes, working 45 hours a week is already a rare diligence.
Therefore, he didn't understand Jiagu's desertification control team that went out early and returned late, why could anyone endure the scorching heat and work for more than ten hours?
Abraham put down the information in his hand, walked to the window, and looked at the tanned but resolute faces, a little distracted.
He was born in the 50s. As far as he can remember, Israel was almost poor, with a very barren land, no water, no natural resources, and the threat of enemies. Abraham still remembers the scene of his father's desperate work, and the appearance of working until late at night and not wasting a minute of his time gave him great stimulation.
Abraham said slowly, "Once upon a time, we were like that. There's no green, there's no shade, there's nothing, but we have the faith to endure the ordeal. People are extremely engaged, with fiery enthusiasm, and everyone is working together to build the nation of Israel......"
Amos on the side put on a solemn and respectful expression, although he had not experienced that kind of pioneering, he knew that the scenery of Israel today was made by the ancestors who contributed and sacrificed as cattle and horses.
Abraham's eyes were still looking out the window, and he said: "The desert is a very primitive region, and to conquer the desert, you have to be like a big family. In this case, hard work is the norm!"
If it were any other Westerner, it would be difficult to understand the collective power of China.
But Israel is different, it is first and foremost a country with universal military service, and the kibbutz, an agricultural grassroots organization, is Israel's version of a peasant commune, so they are deeply aware of collectivism.
Centralized, efficient, and goal-oriented collectivism is what makes the Chinese model different from the Western model, and what the Western model cannot learn even if it wants to.
The bottom line is that there is no solution to this model.
The reason is very simple, as long as you don't come nonsense, more than a billion people will twist into a rope and gather the strength, wisdom and energy of hundreds of millions of people, and the country will naturally be strong.
In the face of Europe, which has only more than 300 million people, and the United States, which has more than 200 million people, China under this model will only become more and more inexplicable, and penetrate into more and more fields.
This shows that China is on the road to rejuvenation. Abraham paused for a moment and then whispered, "I think they will have a revival!"
Young Amos nodded approvingly.
