Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning of Intense Progress

Zhao Cheng still left, the French army finally sent ground troops to intervene in the Libyan battlefield at the end of April, and at this time the government army had been defeated and retreated, even the capital was lost, and the speed of the situation was reversed, in addition to making people feel that the world is impermanent, there is also an intuitive feeling that the military strength of imperialism is indeed very strong.

Although Zhao Cheng said that there was no danger in the past this time, Lin Quan was still a little worried about him, although he didn't go to the frontline battlefield, but it seemed that some terrorists like to carry out suicide attacks, what roadside bombs, what car bombs, what human bombs, it is simply impossible to prevent it, the most powerful armed group in the universe, the army of the US imperialists, are getting deeper and deeper in such a quagmire, so he can't help but pinch a cold sweat for Zhao Cheng.

In April, he received an invitation from the Nigerien government to take him to Niamey, the capital, to attend a meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Environment.

However, to be able to let him participate in such a meeting, Lin Quan felt that this matter was not so simple.

Sure enough, after the meeting, he was met by government officials and given him the title of professor of the Ministry of Agriculture, with which he could go to various places to give lectures to local farmers, but the rainy season was approaching, so he only gave a dozen lectures and was ready to plant trees after the rainy season.

Steiger assigned him 50 workers, and then sent a special construction team to dig 100 wells in the area near his farm, which were about 30 meters deep, and these wells did not dry up during the dry season, and the water table rose during the rainy season, so the water in these wells was completely sufficient.

In addition to these wells, they also dug an aqueduct from the Tailu River, which has been connected to the waterhole next to Lin Quan's house, because the height of the canal is relatively high, so the water from the waterhole will not overflow directly, and the water of the Tailu River will flow along the canal to the waterhole, so as to further ensure their water supply problem here.

It can be seen that the Nigerien side has made up its mind, these facilities cost money, not to mention anything else, just talking about the 100 wells, each well needs at least 500 US dollars to dig up, plus this water canal, plus the stone houses where these 50 workers live, these infrastructure facilities cost more than 150,000 US dollars, it seems that they have really invested a lot of money, and they must produce some results.

So Steiger's requirements for Lin Quan's side also became higher, he ran to Lin Quan two times in three days, asked Lin Quan what other requirements, and almost responded, Lin Quan hoped that they would connect Highway 11 with this side, and then give the farm a car, not too good a car, at least need a pickup truck, Steiger didn't think much about it, and directly agreed, soon, they sent a construction team, built a fork in the 11th Highway to connect Lin Quan's farm, and also equipped them with two pickup trucks and two drivers, so that they can drive into the city at any time to purchase supplies。

With these supports, Lin Quan's own confidence is also very strong.

He gathered these workers and trained them, and the content of the training was relatively simple, mainly to tell some knowledge and techniques of planting in the desert area, which he learned from the Internet, and there was a lot of information on the top, but they all required Baidu.

The level of knowledge of these people is not high, and Africa also lacks such knowledge, which is summed up by China itself for many years of desertification prevention and control.

Lin Quan didn't expect them to learn all of them, but there were some things that they had to learn, such as the knowledge of irrigation for plants.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert area is very large, the timing of watering must be chosen well, such as the temperature at noon is high, most of the water will be directly evaporated, the trees can not absorb much, but the temperature is low at night, it may reach zero degrees Celsius, if the watering is too late, the water that the plant has not had time to absorb will freeze at low temperature, and the root system of the plant is very fragile, the specific heat capacity of the sand is low, it can not absorb much heat and can not store much heat, the groundwater will freeze at night, and the water that seeps into the ground is frozen, the damage to the root system of the plant will be great, and may directly lead to the death of the plant, and when it needs to be watered, most of them are concentrated in the most vulnerable period of the sapling, that is, the period when they have just been planted.

Lin Quan plans to use this period of the rainy season to plant a variety of trees to improve the survival rate, so that the area of the farm can be reduced, fifty people, one person can manage at least a thousand trees, the workload is a bit large in the early stage, but after these trees survive, the workload can be reduced a lot, so a thousand trees can definitely be managed, but if a person manages the larger the place, the farther away they are from the well, which is equivalent to increasing the burden of work, so Lin Quan hopes to reduce the planting area as much as possible, each worker surrounds the two wells, with these two wells as the center point, spreading outwardIf there is a dead tree in the previous batch, it can be replaced in the next sowing, so that in each period of time, everyone's work tasks are the same, which will not cause confusion in management, and ensure the survival rate of trees near the middle position, which can reduce a lot of labor.

However, although these people are hired by the government, but the wages they are offered are not high, so the enthusiasm for labor may not be very high, so Lin Quan is ready to implement a reward system for them, and introduce a reward and punishment system, everyone is evaluated every month, who plants more live trees, who has a high ranking, who can get the corresponding rewards.

But again, the last few people of each month are not only not rewarded, but are also punished, including deduction of wages, cancellation of bonuses, and even expulsion from the farm.

However, Lin Quan believes that everyone will compete for excellence, because the prize he offered is not low, and there is not much to live a tree, so he rewarded that person with $1!

This money is five times lower than what the Niger government gave him, but Lin Quan is definitely impossible to reward all the benefits that others have rewarded him, but if he wants to make money, he must give full play to the potential of these people below, and it will definitely not work without capital, he believes that this price is enough.
