Chapter Ninety-Five: A Good Thing Delivered to the Door

"What are you guys doing?"

Steiger was the direct person in charge of Lin Quan's farm, so he would come over every once in a while to inspect the work, and he was puzzled to see that the workers were digging sand instead of planting trees. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Quan smiled and said: "The forest has almost been planted, so now it is necessary to get some supporting facilities, the infrastructure is still relatively lacking, I plan to use the existing manpower to dig a reservoir here, and store more water in the rainy season, so that in the dry season there will not be a sky to eat!"

Steiger glanced at him with some suspicion, Lin Quan was afraid that he would see the clue, so he took the initiative to expose the topic and said: "By the way, the rainy season is coming to an end, and the Tailu River will be cut off in two months. ”

Planting trees in desert areas, the most lacking is water and soil, the sand has a single composition, all of which are silica, and many minerals and trace elements contained in the soil are very lacking, and although the Tailu River is a seasonal water river, it has a flowing water period after all, and the sediment in the riverbed is obviously much greater than the yellow sand in the desert.

Generally speaking, the water flows low, and the riverbed is silted up, but the Tailu River is located in the middle of the desert and often breaks off, so there is mostly sand in the sediment, but it also contains a certain amount of soil, which is much better than the soil on their side.

Lin Quan's conditions are limited at this time, and he is not picky about anything, the sediment in the riverbed is always better than the yellow sand, and it is a bit luxurious to plant trees, so it is good to use it to grow vegetables, and when the time comes, when the time is to spread a layer of these fine sand on the tree planting park, their survival rate will be higher.

Steiger was taken into the ravine by him, and sure enough, he no longer cared about what had happened before.

He thought for a moment and nodded, " Okay, no problem, this matter is on me, but your farm has 80,000 trees alive this year, although it has exceeded our expectations, but the pressure on our side is still very great, there are still 20,000 trees away from the hard target given by the United Nations, other farms are inexperienced this year, and there are very few live saplings, and I have been to see those saplings, they are not well managed, it is estimated that it is difficult to grow, and most of them will die, so although there are still more than four months to go this year, it basically depends on your farm. ”

The indicator that Steiger is talking about is an indicator assigned to them by the United Nations Environment Programme.

I haven't seen the specific amount, and I don't know how much, but listening to Steiger's meaning, it seems that this indicator is more than 100,000 trees.

In fact, there are not many farms in the north, counting Lin Quan's side, there are only five in total, and the location of the other four is slightly better than Lin Quan's farm, and the location they choose is next to the natural oasis.

Although most of the country is covered by yellow sand and the Gobi, there are many oases in the north, especially on the Agadez side.

There are oases in desert areas, which means that there are a lot of water sources here, maybe there will not be a lot of open water, but there will definitely be no shortage of groundwater.

In fact, there is a wealth of groundwater beneath the northern Niger, which is the main reason why the United Nations was able to use Niger as a pilot to promote their plan.

However, compared to Lin Quan, those four farms are completely relying on their own strength to fight against nature, and the survival rate of the saplings they planted is simply unsightly, and it is actually difficult for one or two of the ten to survive, not to mention a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and no results have been achieved.

This made the Nigerien agricultural department very embarrassed, and they also invested a lot in this matter, which was originally Qingshui Yamen had no oil and water, and ruthlessly threw a large amount of money into it to prepare for a good future, but they didn't expect this to be the result, which made them feel very disappointed and hurt.

But fortunately, they still have Lin Quan's farm on their side that can be used as a fig leaf, and it seems that this fig leaf can be pulled a little bigger, and it seems that it is no problem to use it as a flag and signboard.

"20,000 saplings。。。。。。 Lin Quan's heart is quickly estimating, to plant 20,000 saplings is actually not difficult, but it will disrupt his plan, he is currently digging a small half of the reservoir, if he starts planting trees immediately, he will have to stop the work in hand.

But there is not much time left in the rainy season, so I can't wait to plant trees, if I wait until the end of the rainy season to start planting trees, then the survival rate will be similar to when he came at the beginning of the year, planting thousands of saplings, and in the end only about a hundred can survive, the survival rate is too low, of course, there is a reason why he didn't take those saplings seriously at the beginning, but the lack of water is also a big reason.

But now, this is not a big problem, they have a lot of wells, and if you want to replant 20,000 saplings, you have to open up new areas, and new areas need supporting facilities, such as wells, which must be a lot of things.

Lin Quan hesitated for a little long, and Steiger couldn't hold his breath here.

"I know this is a bit more than your farm can handle, you only have fifty people on this side, but you have to manage the woods of 80,000 trees, which is a lot of work, so if you are willing to try to do it, I can send you another thirty people!"

Steiger gritted his teeth and dialed another thirty people for Lin Quan!

Lin Quan was overjoyed, but his face still did not change, is it enough for thirty people, but it is naturally better to have more labor without money.

"Mr. Steiger, in fact, the relationship between the shortage of manpower is only one aspect, mainly due to the season, it is now July, this time is in the hot summer, it is too difficult to survive after the trees are planted, and it is also very difficult to manage and maintain, to be honest, I am really not sure!"

Lin Quan pretended to be embarrassed, I can't do this, you can find another talent!

Steiger's now regards Lin Quan as a life-saving straw, if Lin Quan can't do it on their farm, then there is no hope for other farms, and if they can't meet the standard this time, the United Nations may have to re-examine their plan, and then the financial support they should have may be gone, and without the relief of the United Nations, their life will not be easy!

"Mr. Lin, this matter can only be entrusted to you, I know that there are many difficulties on your side, in order to show the determination of the Ministry of Agriculture to support you, we can agree to any of your conditions......!
