Chapter 460: Expansion (Two Chapters in One)
Chapter 460 Expansion
Another takeaway from this trip to Garon Temple is that new nodes can be quickly established by using the original Wangtian Tree in the forest. All that needs to be paid is a little space well water dilution, which is not difficult for Feng Tiance today.
In the afternoon, Yelena and Hong Lie led the team to pump water for irrigation, and Feng Tiance drove an all-terrain vehicle to find the Wangtian Tree.
At the edge of the map, which has been opened, there are several tall sky-looking trees. This kind of forty or fifty meter tall tree is the best, and once the node is established, it can cover a large area.
In the space, Feng Tiance prepared a 5% concentration of well water dilution in the solution pool. He put these dilutions in wooden barrels, and when he used them, he brought out a bucket of water to water the roots of the Wangtian tree.
Fast and efficient...... This is much easier than planting a tree by hand, and it can save a lot of time. It only took a day and a half, and by the evening of the next day, Feng Tiance had already completed the establishment of dozens of nodes, thus bringing the entire central mountain range into the coverage area under his control.
"Elena, I'll go back early tomorrow morning, and it's useless for me to stay here anyway. If you have something to do in the future, call me, and if you need me to come over again, it's just a matter of one sentence. ”
In the past two days, Feng Tiance has successively opened up a large number of water outlets in suitable locations. Although it is not possible to say that the drought in the central mountain range has been completely lifted, it has also greatly increased the amount of water contained in the forests in this area. Therefore, Feng Tiance opened his mouth to prepare to leave.
"Mmmm, you've really worked hard these past few days! Feng, you helped figure out the trend of the entire underground river, which is the greatest support for us. I don't have anything to do here for the time being, so you can go back and get some rest. ”
Yelena led the protection base to fight the drought, and the more it worked, the more it became easier, because the amount of water in the underground river did not decrease significantly after being pumped for irrigation.
And the specific transactional work does not need Feng Tiance's intervention, and Yelena also wants Feng Tiance to go back and have a good rest.
.........
When I returned to my manor, it was noon the next day.
Feng Tiance took a good bath before sitting in the restaurant and eating lunch quietly. Now, not only for the forest farms and the southwestern mountains, but also for the protection bases, the drought has won a decisive victory.
"Feng Dong, isn't it a bit selfish for you to secretly eat king crab alone? Hehe, fortunately, I was in a good hurry. Steward Lin, please add a set of tableware, and bring a bottle of red wine by the way, thank you!"
Qi Xiuyuan received a call from Feng Tiance and also came to the manor. It's just that as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Feng Tiance eating king crab alone, and he couldn't help but arouse his cravings.
"I haven't had a good meal in the jungle for days, what are you jealous of? Sit down if you want to eat, I just called in the morning to ask Shao Bo to be airlifted back from Sihanoukville, it's very fresh. ”
Feng Tiance glanced at Qi Xiuyuan and continued to eat.
Qi Xiuyuan was like returning to his own home here with Feng Tiance, he should eat and drink, and he was very happy to have a seafood feast.
"How's the drought in the Central Mountains?"
After eating, Qi Xiuyuan and Feng Tiance came to the study and chatted while drinking tea.
"The drought is almost under control, it's not a big problem. ”
Feng Tiance's state is very relaxed, since the drought has intensified, he has not been as relaxed as today.
"Haha, it seems that this drought is no longer a threat to the Cardamom Mountains. Feng Dong, should we slow down the export speed of timber a little bit and hold the timber in our hands for a longer period of time? At most, the price of timber will rise sharply next year, and it is a pity to sell it now. ”
The drought control work of the forest farm and the primeval forest has been completed, and the affairs of the surrounding villages are worried about by Muen on behalf of the forestry union, and Qi Xiuyuan has already begun to think about the plan for the coming year.
"Timber is just exported and sold step by step. Mr. Qi, the main income of our forest farm comes from agarwood and musk, and I want to increase investment in these two aspects in the second half of the year. ”
Feng Tiance thought twice and planned to end the logging operation in the primeval forest as soon as possible. He will increase the number of agarwood plants this year, so he needs to start early.
"Well, I see. Then I will start to slowly mobilize manpower, and as soon as the agarwood saplings arrive, I will start planting them immediately. ”
Qi Xiuyuan didn't try to convince Feng Tiance, he knew that the boss had the boss's considerations. Since the boss was unwilling to hoard wood, he would not persuade him again.
"The agarwood saplings will arrive soon, and I'll let you know when we do. ”
Regarding the sapling, Feng Tiance never let anyone interfere. Qi Xiuyuan knew this unspoken rule, of course he would not commit this taboo.
After sitting for a while, Qi Xiuyuan got up and went to the forest farm.
Feng Tiance took a nap for a while and called Mu En and Liang Yanni. On the one hand, he wanted to know about the water situation in the nearby villages, but most importantly, he wanted to ask about the current development of the union.
Mu En reported that the union has absorbed 80,000 members, and the cohesion is still increasing.
"Why did you increase so much all at once?"
Feng Tiance was a little puzzled, the increase rate of this membership was somewhat unexpected to him.
Liang Yanni went on to explain: "Because of the results we have helped fight the drought in these nearby villages, the union has sent people to publicize it. Now, not only the villagers from the surrounding villages are actively joining the union, but also many workers in the marble industry in Pursat City. So, the number of members has swelled a bit over the past few days......"
Feng Tiance then understood the inside story. He knew that this publicity must have been planned by Liang Yanni, but Mu En didn't have the brain.
"Thank you for your hard work. When I went back, I asked Mr. Qi to hand over all the pumping equipment to you, and hire a few more drivers to ensure that the water trucks supply drinking water to the surrounding villages 24 hours a day. ”
The production capacity of Feng Tiance Water Plant still has great potential, and the water quality of the mountain spring water source is excellent, and the production of drinking water can be accelerated.
"Boss, could it be that this string of beads on your wrist was opened by the monk king?"
Mu En has been staring at Feng Tiance's wrist from time to time since he came in, and the agarwood bracelet that Feng Tiance is wearing on his wrist is really the one that the monk has opened.
"Huh, how do you know?"
Feng Tiance didn't hide it, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.
Mu En stood up, folded his hands and saluted, before he said: "The monk king has spread the word, saying that the boss has good intentions and has saved no less than 100,000 living beings. The monk king said that he admires you very much and is willing to be your strong backing.
In addition, everyone is spreading that the monk king helped you open a string of bracelets and a small wood carving. And when the boss went to Garon Temple, the monk king also had dinner with you. Now everyone respects and envies the boss...... The rapid increase in trade union membership during this period, especially in recent days, is also related to this incident. ”
Feng Tiance smiled and nodded, but he was very surprised in his heart. For the terrifying influence of the monk king, he finally had an intuitive understanding.
After sending Mu En and Liang Yanni away, he returned to the stone castle.
He sat quietly in the tearoom and began to appreciate the hydrological map of the entire Cardamom Mountains. The countless water outlets are like stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
The adjustment of the amount of water at the outlet is all in his thoughts.
Sitting at home, he can adjust the amount of water at any outlet, and of course he can turn it off.
And the distribution map of plants in my mind is becoming clearer and clearer. He could know the varieties of various plants, their growth years, their survival conditions, and so on. It's like having a detailed document of the cardamom mountain plants stored in your head and ready to be accessed.
The animal map is still in the process of being generated, and it seems to be a little bit close.
After a drought fight, Feng Tiance's harvest is far greater than his efforts, at least he thinks so.
"Let's have a good rest, and after resting, you can prepare all kinds of agarwood saplings. ”
There are probably more than 10,000 agarwood trees in the seedling base in the space, and the average age of the trees is about ten years. Feng Tiance plans to continue cultivating some six-year-old agarwood saplings, and the number is tentatively set at 30,000.
Now he has all kinds of large machinery in his hands, whether it is sowing, cuttings or watering, it can be fully automated...... Very efficient. Therefore, he can occasionally find time to do this, which can be regarded as a leisure activity.
After only two days of rest, Qiao Musen came to the mountain to look for him.
"Elder Qiao Village, you walk with the wind and a smile on your face, is there any happy event?"
Feng Tiance lay on a chair, drinking tea while casually feeding Zeying who fell on the open space in the courtyard. When I saw Qiao Musen coming over, I knew that he was in a good mood when I saw his face.
"Thanks to you, neither the villagers nor I have suffered much damage from such a big drought. Hehe, now the people from the surrounding villages salute when they see the people from our village. I know they respect you, Mr. Feng...... There is such a matter, the county magistrate wants to visit you, but I don't know when you are free, so I asked me to ask. ”
When Qiao Musen saw Feng Tiance, he folded his hands and raised them between his eyebrows and made a big salute. Feng Tiance remembered that Qiao Musen had never used this etiquette on himself before.
"Well, after a while, when this drought is over completely. You tell the county magistrate that I have been busy fighting drought recently, and I will invite him to dinner when I have time. ”
Feng Tiance is not the kind of person who is rampant when he gets his will, but now is not the right time to meet, who knows what people will ask for?
Qiao Musen understood, turned around and went down the mountain to pass the word.
It turned out that he was right not to rush to meet with the county magistrate, because in the afternoon he would meet the magistrate himself.
Not long after Qiao Musen left, Feng Tiance received a call from Ye Lina, telling him not to go out in the afternoon and wait in the village. Minister Su Zhanto of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will come to inspect the disaster.
Feng Tiance was not surprised by this.
Matters related to forests, farmlands, and fishing grounds...... It's always a big deal. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is one of the busiest departments for all kinds of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts.
And this drought came violently and soon swept the whole country. Su Zhantuo and officials at all levels of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries were also running around during this period. A few days ago, he led a team to inspect the disaster situation in the Dongsari Lake area, and then he traveled non-stop all the way, and only arrived at the county seat this morning.
Coming out of the county seat, Su Zhantuo did not go straight to the protection base or Feng Tiance's forest farm, but randomly selected a few villages to see the real drought situation.
After inspecting several villages, Suzhanto was satisfied. The villagers here did not wait or rely on it, and they were very active in the production of self-help.
"But where did they get all this pumping equipment?"
Suzhanto is no stranger to the realities of remote areas, which are relatively poor near the Cardamom Mountains and logically cannot afford large pumping equipment.
"That's right, Minister Suzhanto. Feng Dong of Fengshi Wood has successively transferred a lot of water pumping equipment from his forest farm to help nearby villages fight drought. He also bought several water trucks himself and provided drinking water to everyone free of charge...... Now not only the nearby villagers are grateful to him, but even the monks of Jialong Temple praise him. ”
Of course, the county magistrate had heard of the relationship between Feng Tiance and Su Zhantuo, and he just said a few good words, and it didn't take much effort. Who wouldn't do it? Besides, what he said was also the truth.
The village elders and villagers on the side also praised Feng Tiance's good deeds at this time. Su Zhanto's gloomy face was only a little smiling at this time.
"Let's go, don't look any more nearby, go directly to Feng's Wood Farm. ”
Su Zhantuo went to the Cardamom Mountains to inspect the disaster situation, and one of the key points was the 100,000 hectares of primeval forest contracted by Feng Tiance. Of course, the drought situation in the southwest and central mountain ranges and the progress of drought control work at the protection base are the most important.
So, he put the last stop of this inspection at Yelena's protection base.
Not long after the time passed, Su Zhantuo and his party got into the car one after another. A convoy of more than a dozen vehicles drove to Feng Tiance's forest farm.
An hour later, as soon as the convoy approached the village, Su Zhantuo saw Feng Tiance, Qi Xiuyuan, Qiao Musen and others leading the villagers to stand at the entrance of the village to greet them.
The convoy stopped, and Su Zhantuo and a group of officials got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the village.
"Mr. Feng, thanks to you, the Cardamom Mountains have done the best work in fighting drought in the villages around you. Whether it's the county magistrate, the village elder, or the villagers, everyone is grateful to you. When this drought is over, several of our departments will surely recognize you for your outstanding contributions. ”
Su Zhantuo said loudly with emotion, these words were not so much for Feng Tiance, but for everyone.
"You're wrong...... Mr. Su Zhanto, you've been working hard lately, right? Seeing that your complexion is not very good, and you have lost a lot of weight than before, you still need to pay attention to your body. Why don't we go to my manor and have a cup of tea first?"
Feng Tiance noticed that Su Zhantuo's complexion was very bad, his face was pale and very thin, so he hurriedly greeted.
