These opium ointments are regarded as a panacea, it doesn't matter if you have a cold, it doesn't matter if you don't have medicine, you don't care if you eat a little opium; It doesn't matter if your heart is uncomfortable, you can also have a little opium; Stroke, skin diseases, and allergies can come a little; Even the locals will use a little bit of it if they don't lift it, and it has almost become a must-have "medicine" at home.

Perhaps it is the opium consumption of large quantities by the locals that leads many young people to lazily do nothing all day long, just like the older people who sit in the corner and bask in the sun all day long. This kind of movie viewing before aging is a match with the history of opium smoking by people across the country in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After the overthrow of the Afghan People's Republic, the country was in a state of anarchy, and the various warlord forces fought against each other. During the war, the little industrial facilities that the former republic had accumulated were destroyed. The intellectual, educated, and skilled elites of Afghanistan fled one after another, and the remaining remnants of the industry were soon abandoned.

As the saying goes, a cannon goes off with ten thousand taels of gold. And if the warlords of all walks of life want to fight and divide their territory, they must have money, and only with money can they buy arms and recruit soldiers. However, Afghanistan was originally a backward country in the mountains, and the industries established with the help of the Soviets were tossed and turned, and there was no way to make money. Before 2010, Afghanistan had not discovered any mineral deposits, and it was an area of poor mountains and bad waters, and its economic value was infinitely close to zero except for its "strategic value".

Later, they discovered a "way to make money", and this kind of "business" will roll in when it is done well. Because the warlords found a successful case of poppy cultivation and began to introduce it in this mountainous country. The country quickly turned poppy red.

The poppy not only provided the warlords with military expenses so that they could fight endlessly, but also became an "essential medicine" for the common people who lacked medicine. Because it has not been purified, the toxicity of opium is not as obvious as heroin, and the comfort effect is very good, so it is "welcomed" by ordinary people.

After several years of tossing and turning, a highly spirited religious army began to rise, and soon occupied more than 90% of the country's territory. The Taban extremist religious group opposes a qiē modern civilization, and does not allow films, television, radio, men to shave their beards, and men are not allowed to wear leg-baring shorts, and a series of measures similar to those of the Boxers. But they did one thing well. It is the ban on the cultivation of opium poppies throughout the country. Anyone who doesn't listen to orders has only one end, and that is to be shot.

In 2001, when NATO troops entered Afghanistan in a big way to suppress bandits, the Taban armed forces were defeated and ran into the ravines to fight guerrillas, leaving the rest of the territory to warlords, politicians, local tyrants and religious elements to dance wildly. So under the light of "democracy". Large-scale opium poppy cultivation has resumed throughout the country. Maybe it's stained with the brilliance of "freedom". The poppy industry in Afghanistan is getting better and better every year. And it's not a small good, it's a big good. It quickly squeezed out the former Golden Triangle and became the poppy growing power of the new era on the planet.

The party really didn't pay special attention to this kind of thing before serving the people. I had heard that the cultivation of this thing was very common in the area, but I did not imagine that a poor family had several urns of opium.

Wherever this opium goes to the United States, it is worth millions of dollars, to say the least. However, there are no antibiotics or other drugs that can treat pneumonia. This can be regarded as the principle of commodity supply and marketing in the new era, right? According to the theory of Zhang Weiqiang, an economics teacher who is studying in the EMBA class in China, this fully proves the "rationality of capital market flow".

The doctor gave the little girl a skin test, then hung up the water and gave her a little fever-reducing medicine. Soon the little girl's high fever gradually decreased, her breathing became soothing and calm, and Haenla, who saw this qiē, finally relieved herself.

It was originally a minor illness, as long as any regular hospital can treat this disease, with such a poor medical standard, how did the population of Afghanistan rise to 80 million? The party wanted to complain a little for the people, and after settling down, he said to Haenla: "Little guy, do you plant a lot of this in your village?" ”

"Yes, sir, it used to grow food, but there is a shortage of water here, so all poppies are planted, so it is easier to manage." Hanla replied.

"This kind of thing can't be planted anymore, if this kind of thing is planted again, your village will disappear in less than three generations." Dang Weimin replied, thinking that tomorrow he would have to speak to the local Báb preachers to forcibly ban the cultivation of opium poppies in the form of a religious order.

Seeing that the situation gradually improved, they left the doctor and a bodyguard to continue the infusion treatment, and the others returned. As a sign of gratitude, Haenla led the way in front again, bowing many times along the way.

The next morning, the meeting was scheduled to be held at 9 o'clock, and it was about 10 o'clock that the old people of the village (who were often the actual local stewards) arrived at the meeting place. When they arrived, they exchanged pleasantries, then sat in a row along the wall, lit a hookah and smoked.

The party's eyelids for the people jumped suddenly, looking at these old men was really unpleasant, and they were lazy one by one. There's a bit of the legendary "toughness"? However, he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, according to the method of the Pashtun assistant hired by the company. Pour milk tea and put dessert and cigarettes on the gang below.

Pashtuns are very vigilant and quite xenophobic, with a scrutiny of anyone who enters their homeland. Before outsiders reveal their true nature, they often ignore it. It is already quite enthusiastic that they can come and enthusiastically give a veneer to the party for the people, first, because the TDU group has provided economic assistance to the local area, and second, the Chinese in the mouth of the preacher is also a believer in the Báb, so it is still very face-saving.

After an hour of eating and drinking, the most prestigious old man in the village spoke, "Dear guest, thank you for your support, we locals are honest and reliable friends, and as long as you and your company come here in the future, they will be our friends." ”

SHIT！ The party spoke out for the people, and finally these old guys opened their mouths, which can be regarded as definite. Based on the experience of several places in the past, the following work will be easy to do.

In fact, the conditions of this place are very average, most of TDU's existing projects do not meet them, there is no water, no electricity, no roads, and no well-trained workers. Therefore, we can only engage in agriculture.

"What? Growing rice? The local elders were a little surprised, they had heard that the southern part of Pakistan had cooperated with the Celestial Empire and successfully introduced rice seeds and became an important rice producer.

It is no wonder that they were surprised, because the area introduced by the Pakistani State is considered to be an area with water, so it is not difficult to plant. But in the dry and rainless highlands?

"Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen. What we offer you is an improved rice seed, which is very water-saving and has a high yield. "The party has traveled thousands of miles for the people this time, spanning dozens of villages and areas, and naturally has its new products.

A type of rice, a genetically modified type of rice. In "Fallout World", due to the nuclear explosion, the mutated rice is used as a culture medium. Seeds are produced by combining modern genetically modified technology. This rice has a well-developed root system that can penetrate deep into the ground to a depth of more than 10 meters, from which it obtains nutrients and water. The leaves and stems are thicker than ordinary rice straw and have strong lodging resistance. and mutated in radiation. Observed by researchers from Landreans Pharmaceutical Group. Very few bugs are willing to eat this food. So pesticides don't have to be used too much.

The yield is also extremely high, one acre of land can reach more than 800 kg in the experimental field, and it is estimated that it can reach 600-700 kg in the ordinary field. The level is close to the 850 kilograms of Yuan Expert of the Celestial Empire. However, considering that the introduction of seeds in barren and dry areas can meet this standard, it is very surprising.

But even then, there are very few places in the mountains where it can be planted, and only small basins at the foot of the mountains have a suitable soil environment. In the mountains? The Afghans have been fighting for 30 years, and there is no group of revolutionaries leading them to cultivate the terraces. The Celestial Empire took advantage of the revolutionary romanticism and the existential panic of the peasants of the Celestial Empire to build a large number of terraced fields on the mountains not long after the founding of the country.

Terraces on the Persian plateau? Dang Weimin estimated that there might be a place to save zài, but he hadn't seen it along the way.

The elders below are also very excited, it is better to eat rice than to eat opium, opium is sold abroad or can make money but face competition at home, in a state of poor marketing, sometimes there is money but there is no food.

Seeing that the atmosphere was lively, the party coughed lightly and continued: "It is difficult to reclaim the terraced fields on the mountain, and I think it is difficult to cultivate the fields without machine equipment, and there is also a shortage of water on the mountain. If you want to lift water uphill, you need to generate electricity, and the cost is too high. ”

The following people are talking to each other, and they all feel the same way, "Yes, there is only one diesel engine in the whole village, and the diesel supply is also intermittent." ”

"Well, blessed are you. God willing. "The party has drawn a cross for the people, and the following are all reorganized sectarians, and they are all more acceptable." MIX Chemical Industries, a subsidiary of the TDU Group, has developed a new type of chemical fertilizer that can turn rocks into good soil. ”

The miniature projector flashes on the screen, a modern chemical factory, a tall fractionation tower, a washing and dyeing workshop, a factory area crisscrossed by pipelines, a production workshop with bright windows, and a fully automated assembly line. I saw bags of fertilizer filled from the assembly line and quickly pushed away by forklifts and placed in the warehouse. No one would tell the locals that it was an improved version of the superbug that had been infected like crazy a while ago. Superbugs, due to their very corrosive nature, have been modified to have no effect on humans, but can powerfully nitride rocks and extract phosphate fertilizers from the stones.

This kind of fertilizer has not yet been officially marketed, and it happens to be used in this area, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

From time to time, the elders let out exclamations, thanking the gods for giving them so much hope, like the people of the Celestial Empire, who do not accumulate much farm fertilizer, and the Pashtun farmers mainly rely on the sky for food.

And this parishioner, a big foreign boss, actually came here kindly and enthusiastically helped the brothers in the church to get rid of poverty and become rich, build new temples, build schools, and build roads. He is already a great benevolent person, and now he can provide high-yield grain seeds and fertilizer that is said to grow food on stones, which is like a dream.

"Dear lord, we sincerely thank you." This time, the elders stood up sincerely, saluted and used honorifics, "But our village is very poor and has no money, so I guess we can't afford to buy your fertilizer and seeds." ”

I can't afford it, just a broken village like you, and the whole village can't sell it enough! The party said in the heart of the people, if it weren't for your national character (Pashtun paid close attention to the other side's behavior when he first opened the stage, and often came to judge whether the other side was hostile), he would have been arresting laborers all over the mountain.

With a smile on his face, almost like the incarnation of a saint canonized by the ancient Roman Pope, he glanced at the assistants around him, who quickly took out the contract. This is the goal, that is, the local villagers can use the seeds and fertilizers for free, and the two sides will form a supply and marketing consortium, each accounting for 50% of the shares and profits. The TDU group has the right to recruit employees from the local people first, and can establish close relations with the local tribal forces, and can mobilize the militia without harming the interests of the village.

"Hahaha, cheer for our friendship." At the celebratory lunch, Dang Weimin watched the villagers dancing and cheered while eating roast mutton. Although it was a little regrettable that he could not drink, he still stood up and announced a piece of news that made the villagers even happier: "We can buy your finished opium products for 20% more than the local price, and the same price for the opium poppies in your fields according to the output of the finished products, whether mature or nursery!" ”

After the opium is acquired, it will be sent to the MIX Chemical Industry Group and Landpis Pharmaceutical Company, which are part of the TDU Group, and then sold as neurological drugs such as morphine and demeroline. More and more black markets have entered the hands of addicts in the European and American markets....... (To be continued......)
