Chapter 70: Planting a Tree for $5!

"The water level at the bottom of this desert seems to be a little lower than the ones we surveyed before!"

Graeme and Steiger's took out measuring equipment to measure the water level at the well in Lin Quan's yard, they had a lot of instruments in their cars, and they also brought a lot of backpacks, some of which measured the composition of well water, measured pH, and measured the local altitude.

And at this time, they believe more in the data they get, it stands to reason that the same desert area, the trees on this side of the forest can be planted, and other areas may not be impossible, the reason for the difference is probably because the environment of these places is different, but these things can be analyzed, through various instruments to detect, such as light time, temperature, humidity and wind, as well as the composition of the soil, the depth of the groundwater table, etc.

The two of them were very busy, and Lin Quan was confused, he only knew what these guys were studying, but he didn't understand what they were going to do.

In fact, Graeme and Steiger are really storing data, and everything needs to be analyzed and summarized, and in this process, it is very important to analyze and collect data, and later experience and lessons can be learned by analyzing these databases.

"The desertification here is quite serious, and it stands to reason that the geological conditions can only be regarded as C-grade, but why is the survival rate of trees on his farm the highest?"

The two came up with a lot of results, but the end result left them wondering.

Lin Quan's farm is actually far away from the Tailu River, and under the influence of the Tailu River, the groundwater level in the nearby desert area will also change with the change of the water level of the Tailu River, and because there are many oases near Agadez, the groundwater is relatively rich, so a city can be established here, although the scale of the city is not large, only 7-80,000 people settled, but this is established in the encirclement of a desert, and it is already remarkable to be able to feed 70,000 or 80,000.

With a bunch of questions, the two came over again to ask Lin Quan what special method he used to make the trees here survive so much.

Lin Quan smiled, pointed to his heart, and said in a serious tone: "Be attentive!"

The two were skeptical, but they really couldn't find any other reason, could it be that farmers from East Asia were better suited to the job than local farmers?

Of course, Lin Quan won't tell them the real reason, which is actually impossible to tell.

"Mr. Lin, in view of the fact that the situation of your farm is better than that of other places, we plan to expand the scale of your farm!

After the investigation, Steiger found Grim while he was going to see the vegetables that Lin Quan planted.

Lin Quan was stunned! Expand the scale? What does it mean? Do you want to increase investment or assign helpers to yourself?

"Well, we can provide some manpower for you to manage, but we hope that you can help us grow more trees in this desert and help these trees survive, so that our policies will be supported by Congress, and there will be more financial allocations in the future, and this is carried out with the United Nations, so if you have achieved great results here, the United Nations will hire you to participate in the work of other countries in the prevention and control of desertification, and then you only need to give a few comments and suggestions, and we will also pay you according to the results achieved on your farm every month!”

There is money to be made!

Steiger didn't care much about the rest of the words, but he couldn't help but care about this money-making thing, just kidding, he was pulled here by Denise to open a farm, but he didn't make any money, not to mention, he also posted a lot, although he signed a contract with the French mercenaries before, but this contract did not bring him much benefit, and it was naturally best to be able to get subsidies from the government.

"Yes, this, that, I want to know what your government's subsidy standard is?"

Lin Quan felt that it was better to ask things clearly first, if this guy drew a big cake and couldn't eat it, it would be embarrassing, and he would be happy in vain.

"We're going to give you fifty workers, and then we want you to expand the scale of tree planting after the rainy season arrives in May, where the water table is between 18 and 35 meters, and we will provide machinery to help you dig wells in the desert so that you can use groundwater to irrigate your plants, and at the end of the year we will subsidize according to the number of trees you have survived, and we will subsidize $5 for every tree that we have survived!

Not bad indeed!

Lin Quan's eyes were a little straight, he spent a month by himself, planting 119 trees, this is still in his own main energy on managing his own vegetables, if he puts his main energy on planting trees, then now I am afraid that he has planted 500 trees, 5 dollars a tree, 500 trees is 2500 US dollars, and this is still his own labor, if he is really equipped with 50 people, and then give him a good well, then the gap in water sources will not be so large, manpower requirements are relatively sufficient, and Steiger's requirements are planted in the rainy season, and the rain will become more after the rainy seasonAlthough the rainfall in the desert area is not as much as in the south, there is a lot here, and the water level of the Tailu River will also recover, and Lin Quan even thinks of digging a canal for the Tailu River, so that the water shortage in the desert area can be greatly improved.

The most important thing in planting trees is actually the period when the saplings are planted, if someone else manages these saplings, I am afraid that the survival rate is not high, but Lin Quan has an artifact in his hand, and the mysterious ancient jade has an extremely powerful ability, which can greatly enhance the survival ability of these trees, which Lin Quan has discovered and confirmed in previous experiments.

He only needs to take his ancient jade out every night to inspect a few more laps when the saplings are planted, water them well, and apply fertilizer, and it will not be a big problem for these saplings to survive in the rainy season, and when the rainy season is over, it will be October, and then these trees have grown for more than five months, and their root systems must have grown and can absorb water from the ground, so even if the dry season comes, the problem is not big, and most of them will not die.

Fifty workers, one person manages 500 trees, that's at least 25,000! Even if it's only half of the life, that's 12,500, and a tree costs more than 60,000 dollars for $5, and this income is actually much higher than his part-time job for Zhang Chuan at TSNY, plus his farm or something, and those training for the government, this is another income, and Lin Quan feels very good.
