Regarding Lanfang's external expansion, Qin Zhiyuan has always said that Lanfang has not brought war and disasters to the world, but a better way of life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, this is Qin Zhiyuan's words, in fact, it is not only Qin Zhiyuan who says this, but also the British, French, Americans, or anyone else, as long as it is a country with colonies in the world, they will say so.

So where is this "better way of life" embodied?

Is it reflected in the plantations everywhere, and the severed hands and feet of the women and children?

Qin Zhiyuan is indeed thick-skinned sometimes, but not so brazen, Lan Fang has gone through a series of tosses, and now the Western Province has been established, Qin Zhiyuan is to do something, to do something that can be seen by the world, to prove that Lan Fang has indeed brought a "better way of life" to the people of the Western Province.

Afforestation is one of Qin Zhiyuan's ways.

Although the territory of the Western Province in the Middle East covers the two river basins, there are many oases in the territory, but on the whole it is also a semi-desert area, just because compared with other desert areas in the Middle East, the two river basins look a little better vegetation, but the degree of this "good" is also limited, if not controlled, the desert area will be further expanded, the oases will continue to decrease, and the two river basins will become the same barren land as Djibouti.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to do this, so even if Chen Kangjian was not happy, afforestation was also one of Chen Kangjian's next important tasks, even more important than economic construction.

"I will organize experts to cultivate better seedlings and find varieties that are more suitable for planting in the western province, my requirement is that the greening of the western province must be doubled every year, that is to say, the forest coverage area must be more than double the previous year every year, the coconut city is responsible for providing you with technical support, other difficulties need you to overcome, this year's goal is set a little smaller, everyone in the western province must participate in afforestation, including you, everyone's tentative goal is ten trees, by September next year, Djibouti needs at least 400,000 more trees, and if you don't meet your goal, you're ready to stay in Djibouti for the rest of your life. "Qin Zhiyuan gave a death order, and it must be achieved no matter what.

"Your Majesty, kill me—" Chen Kangjian immediately sprinkled and played tricks, and seemed to have the intention of rolling on the ground.

"If you kill you, you will wait until you plant ten trees first!" Qin Zhiyuan was unmoved, and his attitude was still resolute.

In fact, this goal is not difficult to achieve, the growth cycle of the jujube tree is about eight or nine months, that is to say, the eight-month-old jujube tree can bloom and bear fruit, perhaps it needs manpower to cultivate in the early stage, and when it can bloom and bear fruit, basically do not have to care.

The climate and the forest coverage rate are absolutely proportional, Djibouti's natural conditions are so harsh now, and Djibouti's desolation has a lot to do with it, if we can really follow Qin Zhiyuan's goal, this year's planting of 400,000 trees, it will definitely have a great effect on Djibouti's natural environment.

Generally speaking, afforestation does not need to be intensive, one acre of land has thirty or forty trees is already very good, even if one acre of land is planted with forty trees, 400,000 is 10,000 acres away, that can already cover six or seven square kilometers, for improving the ecological environment of a city is enough.

Of course, compared to the more than 20,000 square kilometers of Djibouti, these six or seven square kilometers are a drop in the bucket, but this is a good start, as long as you continue to work hard, sooner or later, the whole territory of Djibouti can become as lush as the Tayi primeval forest.

At that time, Qin Zhiyuan was qualified to say that Lanfang had truly brought a better way of life to the people of the Western Province.

"Okay--ten trees--I'll plant--but where am I going to get water-" Chen Kangjian felt more sad than dead, and he had already spoken word by word.

Djibouti is a plateau Gobi terrain, the only few rivers in the territory are seasonal rivers, occasionally rain because there is no effective flood storage facilities will also be discharged into the sea, the only two lakes in the territory of Asar Lake and Abbe Lake are saltwater lakes, that is, can not be directly drinkable, can not be used for irrigation, so water resources in Djibouti are precious, Chen Kangjian and their domestic water have to use oil tankers to transport from other places, want to plant trees is really not sparing.

"You don't have to worry about this, Imperial University will provide you with technical support, and soon there will be geologists and drilling teams coming, and the problem of water resources will definitely be solved." Qin Zhiyuan will not put the hope of solving the problem on the introduction of foreign resources, and the development of his own potential is the king.

Whether it is the Gobi or the desert, there is groundwater available, and the only difficulty may be the problem of the depth of the well, which is not a problem for Qin Zhiyuan at all.

Qin Zhiyuan's fortune relied on oil, oil wells can be drilled, and water wells are naturally no problem.

"Well, if you can solve the problem of water resources, then afforestation will be fine." Chen Kangjian finally had some confidence.

Standing in Chen Kangjian's position, Chen Kangjian certainly hopes that Djibouti will become a forest city, so that the Lanfang soldiers can be more comfortable here.

In fact, many problems in this world are not problems, it depends on whether there is determination to solve them.

In fact, if there is no determination to "conquer heaven," the republic in the 21 st century will still be poor and white, and no matter whether or not it can "conquer heaven," at least it must have the determination and conviction to "conquer heaven," so that there will be sufficient motivation.

Once you have the idea of planting trees, you have to make it a reality.

Early the next morning, Qin Zhiyuan gathered a group of military and political officials at the gate of the Governor's Mansion where he was staying, ready to set an example.

This governor's palace is also the residence of the former French governor in Djibouti, and it is resplendent despite the dilapidated slums in other parts of Djibouti.

The French are also considered to be wealthy, when the construction of the Doge's Palace, the building materials used are all transported from the French mainland, the Doge's Palace is a palace-like building, compared to the French Fontainebleau or something, the Doge's Palace is built in front of the lawn and garden, and the surrounding dilapidated buildings are in obvious contrast.

In fact, even in Tajoura Bay now, there are scattered plants growing strongly, juniper, acacia trees, dates and other trees, of course, the most is the date tree, this kind of tree can grow to twenty or thirty meters high after adulthood, it looks really tall and straight, and it looks very good.

After having a deep conversation with Chen Kangjian last night, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Gao Hongshi to get ten jujube trees overnight and prepare to plant them at the gate of the Governor's Mansion with his own hands.

Of course, Chen Kangjian also understood what Qin Zhiyuan meant, and in order to emphasize the importance of "afforestation", Chen Kangjian also got dozens of saplings of jujube trees, which were prepared for Julie and Misha.

When Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the lawn, the tree pit had already been dug and the water used to water the trees had already been prepared, all Qin Zhiyuan had to do was to put the saplings into the pit, and then a group of civil and military officers swarmed up, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't even need to seal the soil.

"I'll give you these trees, and I'll come back to see them in a few years, and if there's a problem with one of them, I'm going to ask you." Qin Zhiyuan did not let go of Chen Kangjian, and emphasized to Chen Kangjian after planting the tree.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, if there is a problem, I will ask, the ministers promise to build at least 200 square kilometers of forests in Djibouti within five years, if they can't do it, the ministers are willing to deal with it by military law." Chen Kangjian also swore an oath.

After a night, Chen Kangjian finally came back to his senses.

Djibouti is now the Djibouti of Lanfang, and it will also be the largest military base of Lanfang in the Middle East and North Africa, if Lanfang people want to really gain a foothold in North Africa and the Middle East, they must turn Djibouti into a treasure of feng shui, so that all Lanfang people are willing to defend Djibouti, so that Lanfang can truly turn Djibouti into Lanfang's land.

Lan Fang currently has more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in Djibouti, plus thousands of locals and an unknown number of laborers from other places, it is not difficult for one person to plant ten trees a year, as long as there is technical support, this is also a matter of piggybacking, even if the soldiers have other tasks, it is not difficult to water or something when they are free.

And once Lan Fang turns Djibouti into a forest city, not to mention how much reputation it will win for Lan Fang in the world, even if Chen Kangjian and they are old, they can confidently brag to their children and grandchildren: Lao Tzu did not only kill people in the southern and northern wars, but also did a lot of meaningful things.

That's enough!

"Okay, remember your words, and when you complete your mission, I will personally celebrate you when the time comes." Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to praise, and it was time for Lan Fang to assume international responsibility.

With Qin Zhiyuan's order, the entire western province took action.

In fact, according to the natural conditions, the conditions of the two river basins are much better than Djibouti, the Tigris River and the Euphrates River have a long history, in the history of mankind, the two river basins almost gave birth to the earliest civilization of mankind, at least one of the earliest civilizations, until now these two rivers still feed the people of this land, but unfortunately in the hands of the Persians, the natural environment of the two river basins is really not commensurate with the status of these two rivers in human history.

Lan Fang has been migrating to the two river basins for half a year, and in this small half year, Lan Fang has migrated nearly 400,000 people to the two river basins, and if Qin Zhiyuan's plan is followed, these nearly 400,000 people will be able to make 60 or 70 square kilometers of forests in a year, and it will not be long before the two river basins will become tropical rainforests -- ah no, tropical forests.
