Chapter 395: Restoring Tradition (Seven More Requests for Reward Subscription)
Cai Ruichen did not prevent the others from coming in, and beside him, there was Ralph, as well as the Great General and Yuriko, and he was not worried that he was in danger.
Fortunately, the house is so big, and the number of people it can accommodate is very limited, and even those who can't get in simply crowd at the door or by the window and watch the people inside.
"What is the old man's name?" Cai Ruichen looked at the old man sitting next to him and asked.
A little girl who looked no more than three years old was sitting on the lap of this old man, with a pair of big jewel-like eyes, staring at Cai Ruichen curiously.
"My name is Atarim." The old man replied very respectfully, this instinct is very obvious to the respect for the superior.
"Grandpa Atarim, are you still used to living here?" Cai Ruichen asked politely, and did not put on a high-minded appearance because of the other party's respect, respect is interactive.
"It's very customary, life here is very peaceful, the conditions are very good, thank you Dr. Cai for everything you have done for us people." The old man said excitedly.
The topic began to go deeper from here, and Cai Ruichen asked a lot about life here, and also asked other people in the room.
And I also asked a lot about my previous life, and these answers were all with a bit of excitement.
Sometimes they all rush to answer, and they seem to want to express their hearts.
In every word, there were more or less words of gratitude, which made Cai Ruichen quite satisfied.
He did so much, not just to satisfy these people, if they were not satisfied. Then he doesn't know what to do.
Of course. Nor is he a pure philanthropist. He invested heavily in light industry here, and the wool was also produced in sheep, and the products produced by these light industries were also sold in Iraq.
This will allow many of the products that must be imported to be purchased cheaply from those produced in Iraq.
Especially for those items needed for basic life, the production of these products has a small investment and quick results, and the cost can be quickly recovered. And solve a large number of employment problems.
It is not so that all the people here can't find anything to do, and once people are idle, too many people have nothing to do, and it is easy to bring about social instability.
Fortunately, the light industry in Iraq is also in a state of decay, and many investments have been able to achieve good results.
It's just that after chatting with these people, Cai Ruichen also found that he was thinking a little simpler, because there are still many of these people who don't like it very much. went to work in the factory, but hoped to find a way to restore the livestock industry of the evidence of Iraq. and plantations.
Once the most developed area of animal husbandry and plantation in Iraq, it was all due to the fact that it was the most water-rich place in Iraq.
But with the high temperatures all year round, the land here became more and more barren, and then uncontrolled animal husbandry ate up the vegetation, and more and more places became deserts.
Cai Ruichen is also very clear about this problem, and Iraq used to be very developed in animal husbandry.
Among them, Iraq's black goats and camels are all very famous, and the planting industry and Iraq's exported dates are also very expensive in the world.
But now these are almost invisible, and although Cai Ruichen can give them an industrialized living environment, there are still many people here who want to return to some traditions.
Cai Ruichen also very much agrees with this, after all, the development of a region is to pay attention to all aspects, and of course, there is a reasonable arrangement of various social structures.
Cropping is naturally going to develop, and animal husbandry should be restored as much as possible, but these are not easy.
The first is the change in the natural environment and the extreme hot weather, and if these two factors do not change, let alone restore the crops and animal husbandry in Iraq, it is almost a dream.
And now there is not enough vegetation, if you raise a large number of animal husbandry, you can only eat feed, and this kind of breeding can only be suitable for industrial farming, but this is not what these want.
And black goats are not suitable for feed farming, it is better to have a place that is enough for them to run, otherwise the meat quality will not meet the standards of traditional black goats.
After listening to a lot, Cai Ruichen also thought a lot, but these two aspects are not so simple to solve.
Perhaps the weather controller at the base can change the current environment in Iraq, and it would be more appropriate to consider these at that time.
And at present, these are not easy to solve in a short time.
In this regard, Cai Ruichen can only say to these people that he will help them as much as possible, and also promised them that in the future, when his influence expands in the mountainous areas of the early north, he will arrange the development of animal husbandry.
The mountains in the north of Iraq and Iran are the most suitable for raising black goats, and there is a lot of vegetation there, and there is a certain natural ecosystem in operation, which can meet the growth of a large number of black goats.
But that place is the territory of the Islamic State, and nearby are some Silk Road trading tribes that are not so easy to negotiate.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen did not dare to guarantee 100%, he could only say that he tried his best, and in a short time, he could only say that he hoped that they would wait.
chatted with these people for an hour, and Cai Ruichen almost understood all the main situations he was interested in.
Then I also visited the basic living conditions in the mobile house, there are six people in the family of the old man in Atarim, living in this 60-square-meter house, which is not too relaxed, but it is not very crowded.
And in these mobile homes, there is CCTV, kitchen appliances, and the Internet can access the Internet, and the living conditions are not bad.
Compared to the basic standard of living in many developing countries, it is also considered to be very poor.
Compared to the rest of Iraq, the living conditions here are very good.
After touring the inside and outside of the house, Cai Ruichen left Atarim's home, and in the next few hours, he went to the homes of several people for a while.
But he soon discovered that not many of the people here have recovered, and there are still many people who are still living in the shadows of the past.
War is still an eternal topic for them, and the damage that war has done to them, whether it is a wound on their body or in their heart, still exists in their bodies, still affects their lives, and even some people can't extricate themselves. (To be continued.) )
