"Masika, what's going on with us here?"

After waiting for Xiao Miaomiao to go upstairs to rest with the small animals, Lao Liu asked.

"Boss, we didn't have any problems with the farm, and the people from Sunshine didn't come to look for trouble. Masika said.

"But this year's drought has been a bit severe, and it has been reported. However, it is not yet possible to determine whether it will rise to the level of a national disaster. ”

"Drought didn't it rain last year?" asked Lao Liu in surprise.

Masika nodded, "It's raining a lot around our farm, but there's very little rain in the whole country. The water level of the Tana River has dropped a lot, and in some areas it is already difficult to get water. Some crops will also yield a lot less, and now the news is reporting on this. ”

"Then our drinking water here is fine, right?" asked Lao Liu with a frown.

Masika smiled and nodded, "We have no problem here, there is a lake at the back of the mountain, and some animals have come to the lake to drink recently. ”

"I just don't know how long the drought will last now, and if the animals on the grassland don't find water, there will definitely be a big change. ”

"Hey......"

Lao Liu sighed, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will go to the grassland to see those lions." Let's take a look at the grassland, for these animals on the grassland if there is no water, it is really a problem. ”

"Has this happened here before? It seems that it is really difficult to see precipitation in normal seasons except for the rainy season. ”

Masika put away her smile and nodded, "I experienced it once the year before last, when more than three million people were affected, especially those living near the Tana River. But it was useless for them to complain, and now even the normal water supply is much lower than before. ”

"Masika, is it because of the warming in recent years?" asked Lao Liu curiously.

Masika shook her head, "Boss, that's not the case. The main thing is man-made reasons, which have caused such terrible consequences as they are now. ”

"The water in the Tana River has been diverted by the government into many tributaries, most of which have been diverted into wealthy and industrial areas. They only saw the richer and more politically valuable areas, but did not consider the lives of the locals. ”

"There are people in our village who used to live in the upper reaches of the Tana River, but now they have all moved here. Although the water here is not as much as that of the Tana River, it is still able to make people live. ”

Lao Liu opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.

In fact, before he came to Kenya, he instinctively thought that Africa should be very poor, very hot, and very short of water. But after coming here, he realized that it was just a one-sided feeling of himself.

On the African continent, not all regions are poor. The weather here is not as hot as in the summer in China. Coming to Africa for the summer is no joke. Sometimes the nights are cool, so if you're outdoors, you'll have to wear cotton clothes.

And in terms of water resources, it is also very abundant. When the rainy season comes, all the large and small lakes are filled to supply the animals with the survival needs of the animals during the dry season.

Not to mention that there is also Lake Victoria, which is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, and many of the fish he usually eats are pure wild fish caught from this lake.

But what he didn't expect was that now he had to refresh his cognition again. When it should be dry, it is too dry. Especially in today's life, there are many human factors.

From his point of view, it is really impossible to tell whether this matter is right or wrong. At the very least, this matter is politically correct, and it can indeed promote the development of Kenya's economy, right?

He can't measure the gains and losses of doing this, he only knows that there is no shortage of water here now, so it is no problem. Anyway, if you hold on for another three or four months, the new rainy season will come again, and there will be no problems.

The only thing that worries is the group of lions on the grassland, and when there is a drought, the animals on the grassland will be most directly affected.

Even if these meat eaters don't have that much need for water, those who eat grass will be affected a lot. Eating grass alone will certainly not replenish the water needed by the body, and they will come out of their original living area.

All these "foods" ran around, and those who ate meat naturally had to follow suit. There will be a lot of overlapping parts of the original territory, and in order to occupy the territory, a bloody storm will be set off in the entire grassland.

When he passed, he had to bring some water to the lions. I don't know if they've been thirsty lately, so if they can't do it, I'll take them home again.

It's so unfamiliar, at most it's to watch the news and sigh. But not to mention that these lions were all rescued by his own hands, it is almost the same, so they also have feelings.

"Boss, at present, Sunshine Company has negotiated with all the townships. Only some villages in some areas are still in the final stages of communication, and if they go well, I am afraid that the land will be officially cleared in April. Masika said.

"Hey, we can't interfere with this now. There are efforts of Sunshine Company, and there are also certain government actions. Lao Liu said with a wry smile.

"I contacted Harvey before coming here today, and the acquisition of Sunshine will become a key project of the government, opening up new coffee and tea growing areas here. ”

"They have a long time to plan, which gives them plenty of time to adjust. In other words, no matter what they want to do, the government will not interfere in any way for the next three years. ”

"And they will enjoy great incentives in terms of taxes. In fact, I think that even if they have no other purpose, it is very good to simply engage in coffee and tea cultivation. ”

For Sunshine Company, he is really jealous, he belongs to the rich series, and he makes money no matter what. If such a large piece of land can be acquired by oneself, what kind of economic value will it have to create for oneself? In the Northeast dialect, it will have to make old nose money.

But no, now his funds are already starting to be stretched. Now Masika and their land have to count on the income of their coffee beans.

Just like I said when I was chatting with my brothers in China, now I want to empty gloves white wolf, which is basically like a dream. Some people have access and information, and they may still be able to handle it. If you think of ordinary people like him, don't even think about it.

Now he is really confident in this aspect of planting. There are small trees, not to mention what to plant, but what to get is almost the same. But the crux of the problem is that he has no money and can't buy so much land.

Now this piece has also been encircled by the Sunshine Company, and his land area is so much.

"Masika, tell me, what is better to grow with these new lands?" asked Lao Liu.

"Boss, I listen to you. Masika grinned, very irresponsible.

Lao Liu glanced at him very resentfully, "You have to give some advice, what do you want to grow here in Kenya to make money?" Do you think we can get some vegetables to grow?"

Masika glanced at him, "Boss, the cash crops that can be grown are coffee, tea, and flowers. Vegetables will also make money, but it will be difficult to sell them in the future. Well...... Even if our vegetables are great, it is difficult to sell them at the ideal price. ”

He can only say so euphemistically, Liu Wenrui is the boss after all. You directly tell him that even if you grow a bumper harvest, no one will buy it, so what's the use of you planting it?

Coffee, tea, flowers, these can be exported, only then can there be sales and make money. It's a problem for a lot of people to eat, so you let them buy vegetables, is it realistic?

Although Masika didn't say it explicitly, Lao Liu could also understand it. Then he grinned embarrassedly, he did think about something that was a little bit wrong.

"Masica, then you said to plant more coffee trees in our coffee garden and some more tea on our hillside. How about planting more flowers on the land below the mountain, and only enough sorghum, corn and vegetables for our own food?" said Lao Liu, who thought for a while.

"Boss, I don't know much about tea and flower planting. Masika said.

"But the coffee trees are fine, I've cut off a lot of branches and buried them in the soil. Now that they're alive, we can transplant them on the hillside. ”

"Actually, we can plant in higher places, and even though the land is not in your area, no one will come and use it. ”

Lao Liu thought for a while and shook his head, "Don't do it, now we are staring at Sunshine Company, and Sunshine Company is also staring at us." When the time comes, let's apply for it, and if we can buy the land above, we will plant it again. By the way, coffee trees can be propagated with branches, and they don't need to be sown with beans?"

Masika smiled and nodded, "Boss, it takes a lot of time to propagate from branches than to propagate from seeds. And these coffee trees on our farm are very vigorous, and those branches are alive. ”

Lao Liu nodded with satisfaction, it was so smooth, it must have been his little tree baby who played a role. Xiao Shuwa is really a good comrade, but he can't give it delicious food like Xiao Miaomiao.

Although it was only a few simple conversations, the planning of these lands was determined. Most of the land is used to grow tea trees and flowers, and a small part is used to feed their own people.

In fact, there is not much room for choice, and it can only be used to grow cash crops to make money. You grow vegetables and corn, even if you get a bumper harvest, how much money can you make?

is also worried about being tired, and now there is Xiaoshuwa to help him, and he is very confident.
