Chapter 233: Two Conditions
"Tell me, Your Majesty, what price it will take to get you to agree to plant the Babel tree in our country, and I am sure my father will be very pleased to know the news. ”
Li Quan said: "There is a saying in China that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit, which is the nature of human beings to pursue profits, now in addition to the vast desert of China, there is also Anxi County that we got in Africa, leased land, etc., all need Tongtian fruit trees, but Tongtian fruit trees are not conjured out of thin air, it needs strict cultivation and screening to get qualified seedlings, which is not only costly, but also time-consuming and laborious. So it may take many years to change this supply and demand relationship, and if you want to cut the queue, you have to pay a sufficient price. ”
Muhammad frowned when he heard this, and asked, "I wonder how long it will take to change this supply and demand?"
Li Quan said indifferently: "It's not good to say, but at least twenty years, maybe hundreds of years, it depends on various factors." ”
Muhammad didn't know that Li Quan was making things difficult for him, but what if he knew, now he was begging, so he asked:
"Then I don't know what price we need to pay if our country wants to cut the queue?"
In fact, when Zhang Xian talked about this matter yesterday, he had already thought about it, Huaguo is different from other countries, he has a deep affection for Huaguo, and he can't be ruthless towards Huaguo, so he can only make up for it in other places, and let the upper echelons of Huaguo know how good he is to them, and more in-depth cooperation with Nutang is the right way.
"I thought of two choices, in the future, other desert countries want to cut the queue is also this standard, not especially for you, this I want to tell you in advance, lest you feel bad and affect the relationship between our two countries. ”
Muhammad nodded and said, "I understand, Your Majesty, please speak." ”
"Let me ask you, how much does it cost the world to govern one square kilometer of desert at present?" Li Quan did not directly say the conditions, but asked rhetorically.
Muhammad was well aware of this, and his country spends a lot of money every year to clean up the desert, and replied without hesitation: "If it can generate economic value, it will cost about $1.8 million to $2 million." ”
Li Quan said: "But that is the need to pump groundwater, and you have done it before, although it is nothing in the short term, but in the long run, groundwater is a non-renewable resource, and if you use too much, the surface will be lower, and the soil will be salinized." ”
Muhammad nodded: "It's true, our country is facing these problems now, and they are all problems left over from decades ago. ”
Li Quan Wang Po boasted obediently: "But the Tongtian fruit tree is different, as long as it rains, it can store the rainwater, even if there is no rain, artificial irrigation, it can also store water, and because of the hard shell, its evaporation is very small, a rain is enough for the Tongtian fruit tree to live for a long time, and it will not only not cause land salinization, but will make the soil more fertile, and the time is short, the effect is fast." ”
This time, Muhammad really confessed: "Your Majesty, please tell me those two conditions." ”
Li Quan no longer adjusted the other party's appetite: "First, money, we will help you govern a square kilometer of desert, and you need to pay us a fee of 4 million Tang Yuan, which is similar to your previous cost, but the sand control effect of the Tongtian Fruit Tree is better, and in the future, the Tongtian Fruit Tree and the fruits it produces will belong to New Tang Dynasty, and if you need to open up farmland in the future, we will ask for recycling of the felled Tongtian Fruit Tree." ”
This plan is very simple, that is, to borrow chickens to lay eggs, Li Quan borrowed Saudi Arabia's land to get Tongtian fruit trees, and he can also reap a lot of income, of course, Saudi Arabia is not a loss, they get fertile land, get valuable land, and the price paid is only money.
Muhammad nodded, obviously agreeing with this option, but was also curious about the second option, so he asked, "Then I wonder what His Majesty's second option is?"
Li Quan smiled and said: "The second plan is actually prepared for other desert countries that have no money, you should not be willing, that is, ten for one, we will help you govern ten square kilometers of desert for free, you need to cede one square kilometer of desert land to us as a reward, after all, there is no free lunch in the world." Of course, these two schemes can also be used in parallel. ”
Muhammad shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty is a good deal. ”
If they choose the first option, they need to spend about 6 trillion Tang Yuan, they tighten their belts, and the whole country is not unaffordable, if they choose the second option, it will go to nearly 300,000 countries, which is obviously unwilling for them.
Maybe they can choose the first option partially, and the rest is to govern by themselves, and when Xintang helps them govern a large piece of desert, they can govern the desert around these oases, and the cost may be much lower, but the specific plan needs to go back and discuss with their father to decide.
Li Quan pretended to look lost and said: "Hey, this is also a matter of no way, my Xintang is good at everything, but the land area is too small, if it wasn't for the luck of discovering the Penglai Islands before, hehe, how can we accommodate tens of millions of people in such a big place as the New Tang Islands, even if it is accommodated, it is also very crowded, and what if there are more people in the future, people will have near-term worries without long-term concerns, I want to think about future generations." ”
Muhammad had already achieved the purpose of his trip, and then attended a dinner prepared for him by Li Quan, and hurried back to China the next day.
And the next day, Li Quan also summoned the relevant cabinet ministers and talked about the matter.
"Your Majesty is really a saint, a small Babel Fruit Tree didn't expect it to have such great power, we all ignored his strengths before, it is not only able to provide Babel Fruit, but also a desert nemesis, so thinking about it, the agreement we reached with Hua Guo before is really a big loss. Tian Jing sighed.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, Huaguo is our root after all, I was born there since I was a child, raised there, and I am willing to do what I can for her. Li Quan said.
"Your Majesty is right, but the minister is a little petty. Tian Jing admitted his mistake.
"Tian Aiqing is also for the New Tang Dynasty, there is no petty family to say, but I came to you today to make this matter clear, a secret about the Tongtian fruit tree must be kept as long as it can be kept, if it is found that someone from our country has leaked the secret, it will be dealt with according to the crime of treason, and if there are other desert countries that have requests in this regard, they will all follow the practice of Saudi Arabia, and the excuse is that the current supply of Tongtian fruit tree seedlings is in short supply. ”
"The ministers obeyed. "The people were ordered to disperse.
...............................
On the eve of Huaguo's 2020 Arbor Day, a burst of green mountains and green waters began to blow from the upper layer, which is the Jinshan Yinshan action.
The Great Elder directly explained on the news broadcast: "Starting from this year, our country will continue to solve environmental problems, especially the control of deserts. The most urgent task, we will allocate 1 trillion yuan this year for the management of the desert, the development of green industry, I also call on all levels of society to pay more attention to the problem of desert governance, hoping to attract widespread attention, near the desert provinces of major schools should actively organize students to participate in tree planting and environmental protection actions, only we work together in the whole society, in order to completely solve the desert problem. ”
"And here, we would like to thank our friends and Nuvoton for their selfless contributions to us, and the Tongtian fruit trees they have cultivated have a strong ability to control desertification, which is the sword in our hands, and we want to use it to completely solve the eternal problem of desertification. ”
As soon as this news broadcast was broadcast, it immediately exploded.
"Damn, Xintang is awesome again, even the Great Elder has praised it. "I want to talk about "Super King" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
