Chapter 650 651【Hot in the sky】
In the early 1990s, private businesses were still restricted, not to mention large-scale land contracting.
That is to say, Xiang Nan is now a celebrity in the province, and under the banner of leading the villagers to get rich, he contracted the wasteland on the Gobi Desert, and finally won the support from the province to the city, from the city to the county , Specially approved 400 mu of land for him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible.
After getting the land, Xiang Nan immediately hired a car, hired people to level the land, prepare the land, fertilize and water it, and prepare for planting fruit trees.
After a large amount of money was invested, the desolate Gobi Desert suddenly heard the roar of machines, full of enthusiasm and vigor.
…
The people who settled down were very disapproving of Xiang Nan's return to the village to plant fruit trees.
"Sui Wa, you live well in the city, why bother to come back and plant some fruit trees?" An Guomin expressed his incomprehension.
"Brother, you don't want to grow fruit trees, you should bring your forehead to the city." An Yongshou also begged, "Going to work in the city is better than staying in the Gobi Desert to eat sand."
"Yes, brother, it's none of our business whether other people are rich or not." An Yongkang didn't understand either, "With that money, we can open a shop in the city and our whole family will move in. How easy it is!"
"You don't understand." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "What can you do when you enter the city? You don't have knowledge, you don't have culture. What else can you do when you enter the city except to work hard? You think the city is a mess, and you don't mix well. , I don’t even have to eat, it’s worse than eating sand here.
The amount of investing in fruit trees here is to find a way for you to survive. After the orchard is built, you all learn techniques from me. With one skill at your side, you are not afraid to travel all over the world. "
Xiang Nan doesn't have much affection for An Yongfu's family.
Firstly, Xiang Nan didn't know them well; secondly, Ernst & Young Fu was smashed into paralysis in the play, and it was Shuihua who supported the family with his own hard work. During this period, the An family never showed up.
Of course, after separation, the families take care of themselves. Brothers have no obligation to support them, and they can't say anything unless they help. But if you don't listen to it, it's always chilling.
So Xiang Nan will not pay, let them go to the city to start a business and enjoy life. If they wanted to, they would follow him to learn how to grow fruit trees. If he doesn't want to, he won't favor them too much.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, An Yongshou and An Yongkang had no choice but to do so.
…
As for the villagers, whether they understand or not, they generally support Xiang Nan's return to the village to plant fruit trees.
Once the orchard is built, the villagers can come in to work. Help with tree planting, pruning, irrigation, picking...
Secondly, after the orchard is built, they can still come to learn technology. If planting fruit trees really makes money, then they can also plant along...
Thirdly, such a large orchard must bear a lot of fruit. They are all from the folks in the village. If they pick a fruit to eat in the future, they will probably not object.
So they are happy to support.
…
In May, Xiang Nan went to Northwest Agricultural University, where he bought seedlings of grapes, wolfberries, apples, and pears, and prepared to plant them in his orchard.
Northwest Agricultural University, the predecessor of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, was founded in 1934. The strength in agricultural science and technology ranks among the top in the country.
Xiang Nan intends to cooperate with them. One is to purchase the most advanced and high-quality seedlings; the other is to obtain the assistance of experts.
Therefore, expert guidance is still needed, so that the success of fruit tree planting can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the orchard will have a bumper harvest every year.
Northwest Agricultural University also attaches great importance to Xiang Nan's request for help. It not only provided high-quality seedlings, but also sent a team composed of professors and students to help Xiang Nan plant fruit trees and lead the Jintan village to become rich.
And Xiang Nan also reciprocated, donating 50,000 yuan to Northwest Agricultural University, and promised to focus on Northwest Agricultural University in his next work.
…
On May 15th, six Jiefang brand trucks drove into Jintan Village.
Subsequently, the villagers of Jintan Village were organized to plant fruit trees at a price of 40 yuan per mu, under the command of Xiang Nan, agricultural professors, and students.
The price excited the villagers, and they signed up one after another.
Forty yuan per mu, this price is really great for them.
They work in brick kiln factories and gravel factories. They are exhausted all day, and they only earn a few yuan. Planting trees now earns 40 yuan per mu of land.
However, a strong laborer can plant half an acre of trees a day, that is 20 yuan, which is much easier than sifting sand and moving bricks.
Therefore, the whole family went into battle, digging holes, watering them, and being very busy.
Yuquanying was also very supportive of Xiang Nan's construction of an orchard in Jintan Village.
Firstly, the orchard can provide a lot of job opportunities for Jintan Village; secondly, after the fruit trees are planted, they can prevent wind and fix sand, maintain water and soil, and improve the local environment.
"Comrade An, I really want to thank you." He said gratefully.
"They are all from the village, so you don't have to be polite." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "Comrade Ma, I'm building an orchard here, and I need you to take care of it in the future."
"That's right, talk about it if you have anything to say." Ma Defu nodded.
"If you want to talk about something, it's really something." Xiang Nan laughed, "One is the problem of water. Now the irrigation branch canal has not been repaired, and the water from the pumping station cannot be used, so watering can only be done by cars. And the fruit trees are It requires a lot of water droplets, and the cost of pulling water every trip is too high.
Or fix the canal as soon as possible so that the water can flow to the orchard. Or you can only dig a mobile well and pump water to water the garden yourself.
This involves the second problem, which is the problem of electricity. Our Jintan Village still doesn’t have electricity, and it’s useless even if the motorized well is drilled, so it’s better to supply electricity as soon as possible. "
"Electricity, I'm running now." Ma Defu smiled awkwardly, "There was a regulation at the power supply station, and the village must be full of 80 households before it is allowed to provide power. I begged Director Zhang for a long time before I gave it. The number has dropped to 60 households. But now there are only 40 households in Jintan Village, which is still a bit short.
Amount is also trying to find a way to give priority to the people who immigrated from Diaozhuang to Jintan Village. But it will take a while. Just wait patiently.
The workload of the aqueduct will also be stepped up. Now this project is also being done, and I think it should be completed soon. "
"Comrade Ma, in this way, if you send a message back, just say that whoever comes to Diaozhuang in Jintan Village to immigrate will receive a private sponsorship of 300 yuan per family." Xiang Nan thought for a while.
Sixty people can be connected to the electricity, but it only costs a few thousand yuan, which is really drizzle. In contrast, Xiang Nan can hardly bear the days without electricity.
Without electricity, not only can’t irrigate the ground, but you can’t watch TV, you can’t use washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators. It’s like returning to primitive society.
Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Ma Defu couldn't help smiling bitterly.
Both lamented his extravagance and envied his wealth. He couldn't afford thousands of yuan anyway.
