Chapter 502: Those who can work harder
[In the afternoon, the big seal will be pushed, and a two-in-one chapter will be put on first! ] 】
Just when Watson was about to make a big move, someone from the official came to Watson. Or because of the desert thing. After the Taklamakan Desert was brought under control by Fahrenheit, it caused a chain reaction, and the climate of the entire west underwent some transformation, but this transformation was something that everyone wanted to see. Land degradation and desertification in the area around the Taklamakan Desert have basically stopped, and the surrounding environment is slowly developing for the better.
However, the area of land degradation and desertification continues to expand at a rate of more than 3,000 square kilometers every year. That's the equivalent of losing the area of one county each year. And because in recent years, real estate development tends to be extremely widespread, which has exacerbated the process of soil erosion and desertification. Heavy smog caused by a large amount of dust has become a serious problem in large and medium-sized cities. Although experts have long believed that there are many factors that cause the smog problem, everyone knows that the appearance of smog is almost completely synchronized with the real estate development process.
Now that the Taklamakan Desert is under control by Fahrenheit, the situation in the northwest is better, but the big cities, including Yanjing, are about to be surrounded by desert. The Tianmo Desert, which is only 90 kilometers away from Yanjing, was actually a good place with mountains and rivers, but in the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the indiscriminate cutting and deforestation of these places, and the soil erosion, it is thought that a heavenly desert has been created. Sandstorms from the desert ravage Yanjing several times a year.
As a result, some people believe that it is better to leave these places to Fahrenheit than to spend a lot of money every year to govern them with little effect. Although Fahrenheit after the governance. This place has to have Fahrenheit to benefit. But it's much better than a bottomless pit that sits out there. Moreover, after the Fahrenheit Group is governed, it can also solve the employment problem of local people. Now everyone knows that Fahrenheit still needs a lot of labor to develop the Taklamakan Desert. And Fahrenheit has the ability to absorb a large number of laborers.
Fahrenheit was initially involved in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, but Fahrenheit began to supply organic food in large quantities. The Taklamakan Desert is the size of a southwestern province. All of these areas are now ready for planting. That's almost a quarter of the country's arable land. But these more than 30 million hectares of land have been completely transformed into the best land for cultivation. More than 10 million hectares were used for medicinal cultivation. The rest is used for the cultivation of organic crops and the breeding of organic livestock. All at once, it has filled the huge gap in China's grain and alleviated many problems caused by food security. Although the price of organic food is not cheap, compared to Japanese rice, Zhuchundo organic rice is much more generous.
The results of the national desert, Gobi and desertification land survey and desertification survey show that China's desertified land area is 2.622 million square kilometers, accounting for 27.4% of the country's land area, and nearly 400 million people are affected by desertification. Research on international cooperation projects between China, the United States and Canada. China's direct economic losses due to desertification are about 54.1 billion yuan.
If these lands are handed over to Fahrenheit to be governed. Once it is managed, then the huge annual losses are eliminated, and there is a huge return. Although the Fahrenheit Group operates these lands, it must be exempt from ground rent. But when Fahrenheit sells goods, it pays taxes normally. It also solves the problem of employment of a large number of laborers.
The biggest problem with agriculture today is that the land is too dispersed. Fahrenheit's approach to desert management is to integrate the land in a different way. If this area of 2.62 million square kilometers becomes fertile land. Then the cultivated land controlled by Watson Group will exceed the original total cultivated land area of the country. The food problem that plagued the Chinese was solved at once. In the future, not only will there be no need to buy grain from the world, but it will be able to export it on a large scale.
Watson had previously confined his sphere of influence to the Taklamakan Desert. But now, there is no need for him to tiptoe.
The person who came to talk to Watson was no longer an official of the Forestry Service. Rather, it is a working group led by a national leader. This is no longer a problem of one part, but of the whole country.
"Comrade Watson, this time Comrade Cheng Weimin personally led the working group over, which shows that the Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the Hua Group. The Sywales Group not only stands in the interests of the enterprise itself, but also takes into account the interests of the whole nation. A good enterprise is not only about developing itself. On the basis of their own development, they should also give back to the society and the country. The state's support for the Fahrenheit Group is still very large. Li Zifan, mayor of Donghai City, spoke first. After all, the Fahrenheit Group is located in Donghai City, and Li Zifan, as the administrative leader, can naturally say this. In addition, there is no big conflict between Li Zifan and Watson. But Ding Wenpeng didn't even have the opportunity to participate in the meeting this time, as the number one person in Donghai City, it was indeed a little abnormal, the reason was that the Ding family had done something that should not have been done. Taking into account these specific circumstances, the Working Group excluded Ding Wenpeng from the list.
Watson is not the hairy young man he was at the beginning, but he seemed a little shy when he spoke: "Chief Cheng was able to come over in person, which shows his love for our Fahrenheit Group, and it also makes me feel that the pressure on my shoulders is getting bigger and bigger." Fahrenheit has been doing what it should do on its own terms. It's not that we don't want to do more, it's that our capabilities are limited. The Taklamakan Desert has always made us feel like we're bursting our stomachs. But the state attaches so much importance to it, and we in the Fahrenheit Group are also willing to do something. ”
Cheng Weimin nodded with satisfaction: "Comrade Watson, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to come over to meet you to see what such a powerful doctor looks like, whether he has three heads and six arms." I didn't expect to come over and see that it was a handsome young man. The Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in our country, covering an area of 330,000 square kilometers, or one-thirtieth of our country's land area. But I want to thank you for being able to turn it into the best arable land in the country, and all Chinese should thank you. I believe that in the future, China's history will also be the most brilliant for you. Good guys, all at once we have an additional 330,000 square kilometers of arable land in our country. Solved the food problem in our country. However, the total area of desertification in our country has reached 2.6 million square kilometres. That's one-third of the land area. I can't solve this problem, and other Chinese can't solve it. In all of China, only you can solve it. We are not here to inspect the work, nor to guide production. but for the people to come and ask for their lives. On behalf of the people of China, I would like to ask Fahrenheit Group to do one thing to turn all our deserts into oases! ”
After Cheng Weimin finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Watson: "Please!" ”
Watson hurriedly stood up and shook his hand: "Don't, don't." Chief Cheng. You do. I can't afford it. ”
"Deserved, deserved. If you can turn all the deserts of the country into oases, the people of the whole country should bow to you. What a great thing is that? Cheng Weimin said.
"Chief Cheng, there are some things that I can't do if I want to. Now we at Fahrenheit are famous. Some people may have regarded our Fahrenheit Group as Tang monk meat. I want to do things. But I don't want to be wronged. Watson said.
"I can understand your concern. If it's not enough, you can do it boldly. This time I'm going to be a scavenger for you personally. Who would dare to stand in the way? I beat the tiger. If I can't do what I say, then no one can force you to do things in the future. Cheng Weimin said.
"Okay, there is Chief Cheng's words. I was relieved. Originally, the last time I went to Gurbantunggut for an expedition, I encountered something unpleasant. After that incident, I gave up my thoughts and devoted myself to developing the Taklamakan Desert. In fact, even now, the Taklamakan Desert has not been completely digested by our Fahrenheit Group. But since there is the support of Chief Cheng. We are relieved to make bold strides. Watson said.
"It's not my support alone, it's the support of the people of the whole country. This time, the National Congress was devoted to the issue of desert management, and all the delegates expressed the same wish, that is, they hoped that the Fahrenheit Group would stand up and control the deserts in the country. Originally, you were also a deputy to the National People's Congress, but you didn't have time to participate at that time. Now I have no choice but to come and convey to you the spirit of the Congress. Cheng Weimin said with a smile.
Watson didn't know what he stood for, he was just willing to do something. As a doctor, he knows that just curing a disease sometimes can't save a life. The root must be cured, and the disease can be cured without medicine.
Cheng Weimin came over this time and was very well prepared. A whole bunch of strategic cooperation agreements have been prepared. Watson naturally didn't care about these things personally, Zhao Yumeng led the professional team to do it, and Watson was just responsible for signing.
During this period, the special operations brigade has already expanded several times, from the original strength of several thousand to 100,000. Fortunately, the special operations team has also withdrawn the main base into the desert, and the original Donghai base still maintains its original scale. The establishment of 100,000 people is to take into account the future needs of Watson Group. The establishment of 100,000 people, conscription, and screening are a very complex process. The special operations brigade even sent out recruit eggs to complete this work. But fortunately, with the brand of the special operations brigade, the recruitment is still very smooth. It's just that the screening and screening work is indeed not a small project, and it takes more than a month to complete.
"Xiaosheng, are we starting to expand to other places now? In fact, we have not yet fully digested the Taklamakan Desert. Zhao Yumeng said.
"There's no big problem here. Slowly digest the Taklamakan Desert step by step. It's only a matter of time before the whole thing is put to use. But the Taklamakan Desert is actually one of the best in the entire desert. After all, there are no too complicated issues here. Since now the state supports. We should do something with our hands, and we should do it. Watson said.
Zhao Yumeng nodded, "I'm just worried about the problem from the last time." ”
"This time you can rest assured. What Chief Cheng has promised will definitely be able to do. Even if they don't do it. It doesn't bother us. Watson said.
"If you're confident, that's fine. Anyway, I'm a part-time worker, and I'll rush wherever the boss points out. Zhao Yumeng said with a smile.
"This time, you better leave it alone. It's time for you to cultivate well. Xiaohui is about to break through, and you've been standing still. After that, you just have to grasp the overall situation, specific things. It's time to exercise and train newcomers. Watson said with concern.
"Do you care about me?" Zhao Yumeng said with a smile.
Watson smiled: "Count." ”
The Gurbantunggut Desert is coming alive as local government officials and Land Bureau officials and technicians begin demarcation to determine which areas will be under Fahrenheit's jurisdiction. It's not an easy job. Because the actual geographical area cannot be very regular, some areas with vegetation are intertwined with deserts. Some of the deserts are still inhabited. There are also places where shelterbelts have been invested in. This involves a series of compensation issues for demolition and relocation. If one is not handled well, it will leave sequelae.
These preliminary tasks do not need to be handled by Fahrenheit, and neither can Fahrenheit. The state has invested a lot of money and a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out this work. No one would have a problem with Fahrenheit in this regard. After all, even if Fahrenheit doesn't come to govern, the state will have to spend a lot of money every year to prevent the desert from expanding. But the money has been invested, but it has not had much effect. Naturally, it is impossible to let the Fahrenheit Group spend money to do things for the state.
"I'm not leaving. Even if I starve to death here, I won't leave. We live here in our time. No matter how hard it is, I persevered. Right now. but you will let me go. Isn't that my life? "The old herdsman Sabir is reluctant to leave his homeland. This made it a bit difficult for the Working Group. The area around Sabir's home has become a complete desert, and even domestic water needs to be several kilometers away. Sabir's people have all moved out of this place and have been placed elsewhere. The government is very cautious about the resettlement of ethnic minorities. So those people of the same tribe lived a very stable life. But Sabir has a deep affection for this desert that is incomprehensible to outsiders, so he refuses to leave.
"Sabir. If you leave here temporarily. This will be governed here. Maybe it will be restored to green grassland in the future. You can go to work for Fahrenheit in the future. Maybe we can graze here again. A staff member of the working group said.
"Will I really be able to come back to graze?" Sure enough, Sabiel's mind was guessed by the staff member.
"Fahrenheit needs a lot of people to manage the grassland. If you apply in advance, you may be able to restore this place to grassland. Seeing that his words had an effect, the staff member hurriedly said.
"If they really turn this place into a grassland. I can move out right away. But they're going to allow me to come back. Sabir said.
"Okay, we'll get back to Fahrenheit with your request. Maybe you can actually go back here to graze. The staff member was also speculating about how Fahrenheit might handle it in the future.
"Okay, I'll agree to move out." Sabir grew up here, and here he can find bits and pieces of his childhood with his parents. Now the children are older and have gone to a distant city, but Sabir doesn't want to leave. The beautiful grassland has turned into a desert, and it has long been a matter of things. Sabir has been guarding here with great difficulty, lest this last mark be completely buried by the desert.
On the day Sabir left, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the desert, rolling up the dust. Sabir quickly knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
"Abba and Mommy, when the grassland comes back, the child will come back."
What the old man can't give up is the green prairie of the past. The dombra made of birch has been corroded by time to the point where it is impossible to see the original wood grain. Like the old man's bronzed complexion.
Fortunately, the official did not fool Sabir, and he really reported Sabir's matter to the Fahrenheit Group.
"Then restore it to a prairie, and in the future it will be used as a pasture for Fahrenheit." Watson was straight to the point. The Taklamakan Desert is actually more suitable for a savannah. But Fahrenheit needed a large supply of natural medicinal herbs. In the case of Gurbantunggut, there is no need to grow medicinal herbs, and it is also the best choice to use them as pastures. Those displaced herders are also more easily resettled. Watson can bring them back and graze on the prairie.
Moreover, as long as the soil and climatic conditions are right, the grass can grow very quickly. After all, pasture grass can be harvested multiple times a year. As long as there are enough grass seeds, a few months of work can turn the Gurbantunggut desert into a green grassland. The total area of the desert and the surrounding desert is 50,000 or 60,000 square kilometers, which is an area in the south of the Yangtze River. If it can really become a grassland, it will be almost another Hulunbuir grassland. Although the Hulunbuir grassland claims to be nearly 100,000 square kilometers of grassland, in fact, desertification has occurred in many places, and the real grassland area is less than 50,000 square kilometers. Parts of the Hulunbuir grassland are also within the scope of Fahrenheit's governance.
After the demolition and demarcation work on the government side was completed, Hua's official acceptance. First of all, 10,000 special operations officers and troops were stationed in Gurbantunggut. Then the engineering team of the Fahrenheit Group was stationed, and the core team of the Fahrenheit Group was also stationed. A month later, the Gurbantunggut Desert was shrouded in thick fog. No one knows what's going on inside.
Old Sabir thought of the mist-shrouded desert on his knees, and he lay his head tightly in the sand. His devotion to this former steppe is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"Dad, come with us to the city. You're here alone, we're outside, and we can't put our minds at ease. Sabir son Avahan advised. Because Sabir was demolished, Awahan couldn't rest assured and took a leave of absence to come back to take care of Sabir.
"No, I'm not going to leave here." Sabir's attitude was very firm. Sabir didn't forget the official's words. He also wanted to be an old herdsman on this grassland. (To be continued......)
