Chapter 195 Farm Training
The Republic of Vera is indeed vast and sparsely populated. It took more than two days to get from Sokir to White Rhino Town.
The main thing, of course, is that the roads are in rather bad condition, and in many places they can't even be called dirt roads. If the graded road is built, it may only take half a day.
But that's the case now. Not only does it take a long time, but it also has to be bumpy along the way. When he came to White Rhino Town, Li Yuan felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.
It should be said that the geographical location of White Rhino Town is still very good. It is located on a tributary of the Congo River, and if a wharf is built, ships of about 300 tons can be navigated, and it can go directly into the entire Congo River basin. If the river is dredged, 1,500 tons is not unthinkable.
However it is known that this is the "if", so the bird uses not.
In particular, the isolation of the primeval forest, coupled with the emergence of a group of natives in the forest from time to time, has become a relatively poor place.
Plus there is the city of Ksim nearby. It's the city where Asanoy is the general agent.
Although Ksim is relatively chaotic, the geography is much better, at least there is an easy road to Sokir. And the total amount of trade in the Congo River basin is so large, Ksim can't have enough to eat there, where is the turn of the White Rhino Town?
For White Rhino Town, no one is interested in infrastructure such as docks.
To be honest, if it weren't for the poor conditions here, Harden wouldn't have had a chance to be a chieftain here. The old man in his family is not the only son of Harden, and he is not the more important one.
Therefore, as soon as he set foot on the territory of White Rhino Town, Li Yuan's first impression was that it was in tatters.
The indigenous people here basically live a semi-nomadic, semi-agricultural life, so the people who settle in Baixi Town are still considered to be middle and high-level in the tribe. But even so, it is still mainly mud houses, and the sanitary environment is poor. The only ones who are full of energy are the black kids, who are running around naked, even many girls?
Noticing Li Yuan's gaze, Harden smiled: "Li, I'm doing a good job, right?" ”
"Huh?" Li Yuan has a sentence in his heart that MMP should not be said? Is this still well governed?
"You don't know, when I first became a chief three years ago, the children here didn't have enough to eat. It's not as strong as it is now......"
“……”
All right! The original starting point was too low and couldn't be too demanding. Harden should have worked hard.
"Li, our main income is cattle and sheep for grain. There is also the need to make some deals with indigenous tribes. Alas! I don't have that much luck here, like my father and a few brothers' tribe, they have a coal mine there......"
It should be said that animal husbandry on the African continent is rather tragic. Due to the abundance of diseases here, imports are almost banned in other countries, especially in the Congo River Basin. And there are so many diseases here, like AIDS, Ebola, etc., so it's not without reason.
The local market is very limited. Therefore, if you want to develop animal husbandry, the congenital conditions are insufficient.
But on the other hand, it does have extremely good natural conditions. With a little conscience on the part of the high-level oppression, the people here can live well, especially if they are easily satisfied.
So it's no wonder that Harden turned into an industrial party. It is only through the development of industry that the face of the tribe can be completely changed.
"Harden, I understand your mood for growing the economy. But you just want to rely on building a few factories? In the long run, such an approach is not feasible. ”
"So what to do?"
"We still need to start with agriculture and animal husbandry. When there are a large number of agricultural products, priority should be given to the development of the food processing industry, and then slowly upgraded......"
As a Chinese person who has completely experienced the stage of reform and opening up, he can say more or less three-thirds. Isn't this the same set of domestic poverty alleviation and investment attraction?
Unexpectedly, Harden disagreed: "Man, in fact, I don't care about industry or agriculture, as long as I can make money, I can do anything." And there are not many people in my tribe, so I only need to feed these more than 10,000 people. ”
"Do you have any plans?"
"My plan is that I don't have a plan. It's better to make a little more money. Harden laughed, "Okay! Brother, this is a joke. But that's what I think about it. Like your farm, it's doing very well. ”
"Farm?"
"You don't know? Isn't your farm already hiring? More than 50 people have been recruited from us. Now they're doing training. ”
"Training?"
……
Li Yuan really can't imagine it, isn't it just a farm to recruit a few people to farm? How can there still be training?
Also, why did that Cheng Mo move so fast? It seems like he was given $50,000, right? That money was the travel expenses of the delegation, and there was no official appropriation at all. How did the farm open in the first place?
With a lot of questions, Li Yuan followed Harden to the farm. Unexpectedly, the scene at the scene once again made Li Yuan stunned.
I saw a team of black millet wearing the training uniforms of the former Soviet Union, and under the orders of Cheng Mo and others, they walked in a queue one by one?
Lie down! What the hell is this military training, right?
Li Yuan has been completely wiped out. This seems a bit exaggerated, farming and military training have a bird relationship? Which clever person came up with this training method?
When it was time to rest, Li Yuan immediately found Cheng Mo and them: "Old Cheng, what are you doing here?" Farm workers shouldn't need this, right? ”
Cheng Mo explained with a smile: "Xiao Li, you don't know this. That's how we train new workers on our farm. ”
Li Yuan almost had a mouthful of old blood. Only then did he remember that Cheng Mo and the others were all from the Construction Corps, and they did all have to go through military training.
"No, no, this is just an ordinary farm, so there is no need for military training, right?"
"In fact, it is better to let new employees abide by discipline or military training." Cheng Mo continued to explain, "Also, don't you have an arsenal of weapons here? In order to ensure the safety of the farm, they need to be farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime! ”
Li Yuan understands that the misunderstanding should be a bit deep. The stimulation of those self-defense weapons was too much, so that Cheng Mo and the others already had an overreaction.
But before he could continue to persuade, Harden on the side said: "Lee, I think this is good." These are the good guys we've got here. If they fight with other tribes in the future, they can use it as well. ”
(⊙?⊙)
For a while, Li Yuan didn't know what to say.
Forget it, just toss it! Anyway, it's good that you're happy!
