Chen Mu used the black technology map to look at the current situation in Bazaar Village. The scope of the desert has not expanded.
Although they had little effect on drawing grass squares and planting trees, they still ensured the existence of the oasis to a certain extent and did not shrink the oasis.
Of course, if you want to expand the oasis, you must invest more heavily, such as spending more money to buy more seedlings, and mobilizing more people to invest in the cause of tree planting.
Therefore, there are only two key points-money and people.
And these two points... none in Bazaar Village.
Although the impoverished Baza village made some money because of Chen Mu's farmhouse entertainment, it only made their hands loose and their lives were easier.
But if you want to spend this money on tree planting, it's a drop in the bucket, far from enough.
As for manpower, as the old man Jamal said, all those who can go out to work have left, and most of the rest are old and weak women and children, and some people cannot leave because of family constraints.
The manpower in their village simply cannot undertake more tree planting tasks. After all, they have to do other livelihoods to support their families.
Chen Mu looked at the situation of the groundwater again. The water level of their well had indeed dropped. The drought in the desert forced the groundwater to hide in deeper places. The closer to the surface, the easier it was for the water to evaporate, so the only way to dig the well deeper was to to get water.
However, there is no problem with the groundwater source, and it is very smooth on the map. You just need to dig the well a little deeper.
After turning his mind quickly, Chen Mu came up with some ideas of his own, but he had to figure out what the villagers of Bazaar Village like Jamal and the others thought before he could guide them along the way.
After pondering for a while, he said again: "Uncle Jamal, I think so. The location of your bazaar village is really good now. Tourists who come to play farmhouses like your environment there. If you really put the village It would be a pity to give up, so I want to ask clearly, do you... still do farmhouse entertainment?"
The old man Jamal had probably thought about it before, and he replied without much thought: "That's right, the farmhouse is still going to be done. After all, it is also an income for the people in the village and cannot be lost. So, We plan to keep some people in the village to be responsible for the farmhouse, while others will move out.”
Chen Mu asked, "Where are you going to move to?"
The old man Jamal smiled a little embarrassedly, but did not speak, but glanced at the old Uighur beside him.
The Uighur old man frowned and said, "You old man, what bad idea are you planning?"
Chen Mu also looked at this little old man wearing a small round cap a little funny, and felt that although the gully on his face that had been tempered by the wind and sand made him look naive, his little eyes revealed an Avanti-like look. shrewd.
Old Jamal twitched a bit before he said: "People in our village have heard that people from Yakeshi Village, Karadada Village and Suokemei Village all work in Xiaomu's forest farm, and Xiaomu gives them all The wages are very high, so people in the village say that they will migrate to a place close to your forest farm, and they will also come to work for Xiaomu to earn wages in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu was a little dumbfounded.
Ganqing's reputation of generosity has not only spread throughout the villages in the desert, but has also spread to the desert. It is really a bit of popular feeling that people can hear the scenery.
The old Uighur couldn't help laughing and cursing immediately: "You old man, what good thing do you want? You said it yourself, there are only old, weak, women and children left in your village. Are you here to work to earn wages? Are you here to cheat money?"
The old man Jamal was so embarrassed by his old friend that he immediately poked his neck and said loudly: "Xiao Mu, do you believe me? The old man can assure you that the people in our village will never be lazy and play tricks. As long as you are willing to let them come, they will work hard for you."
Seeing that the old man was excited, Chen Mu quickly waved his hands: "Uncle Jamal, how could I not believe you, I have met all the people in the village, everyone is honest, of course they would not lie to me. "
Hearing what Chen Mu said, the old man Jamal breathed a sigh of relief, squinted at his old friend, and said disdainfully, "Aizi Maiti, you old bastard, look at you, you are not as grand as a child, hehe, I think you are afraid that people from our village will come and compare you to those lazy people in your village, right?"
"Nonsense!"
The Uighur old man put on a serious face and said, "You can come if you want, but you have to ask Xiaomu if there are so many people here... Well, there are not many jobs here, so we can't let Xiaomu support so many people for nothing. Bar?"
In fact, the old man Jamal didn't really want to challenge his old friend. After hearing what his old friend said, he also felt that it was reasonable. He couldn't help looking at Chen Mu with a little worry, wanting to hear what Chen Mu had to say.
Chen Mu is now facing the difficulty of recruiting people, so of course he doesn't think there are too many people.
However, planting trees doesn't have to be in Muya's forest farm. In his opinion, it's actually quite good to let the people of Baza Village plant trees near the village.
Chen Mu thought about it just now. Although Baza Village is located in the desert, it is also within the scope of the black technology map. The villagers of Baza Village can also contribute vitality to him by planting trees to control sand.
In other words, when the villagers of Baza Village planted trees for their own village, they were actually helping him plant trees.
Therefore, just for this point, Chen Mu should also support it.
He had an idea to allow the people in Baza Village to continue planting trees in the village. He was responsible for providing them with saplings, and at the same time, he could also pay them wages, just like the villagers who worked in the forest farm.
However, in order not to make the workers in the forest farm feel unfair, he wants to contract the land around Baza village, and also treat it as a forest farm. When the forest farm is planted, he can apply for subsidies from the government.
In this way, there are many benefits.
The first advantage is that the villagers of Baza Village do not need to migrate.
The second benefit is that the villagers of Baza Village who get their wages no longer have to worry about supporting their families, and will work harder to plant trees for him and accumulate more vitality points for him.
The third benefit is that from the perspective of protecting the environment, he supports the local people in planting trees and controlling sand, which is a great cause.
The fourth advantage is that farmhouse entertainment can continue, and when the conditions are ripe, homestays can even be built in Baza Village, which has great potential for development.
Slowly smoothing out his thoughts in his heart, Chen Mu told the old man Jamal about his thoughts one by one.
Both the elderly Jamal and the Uighurs listened quietly, and both of them were a little speechless.
They don't know Chen Mu's black technology map and vitality value, and they can't hear any benefits from Chen Mu's thoughts. own homeland.
In the past, when people in Baza village planted trees, they had to spend their own money to buy seedlings, and they had to organize people to plant trees. Many times, the villagers were not willing to do it, so the effect was minimal.
But now if we really do what Chen Mu said, the situation will be completely different.
First of all, Chen Mu is willing to provide saplings, which saves a lot of money.
Moreover, Chen Mu is also willing to pay the villagers wages. As long as such a good thing is brought back, the people in the village will probably be overwhelmed, and they will no longer be unwilling to plant trees as before.
Although Chen Mu had declared in advance that he would contract the land in Baza Village, and that the government's tree planting subsidies would go to Muya Company in the future, but everyone had an account in mind.
If you only rely on government subsidies to plant trees, you can't make much money. At best, you can only ensure that you can eat without losing money.
Only by developing sideline business to drive income can it be possible to make money.
Baza Village has always only planted trees, and has no funds and manpower to develop any sideline business.
Therefore, they are losing money planting trees, and they dare not think about making money at all.
Now that Chen Mu is like this, he is throwing money for nothing to help Baza Village and all the people in the village.
The old man Jamal was a little speechless, what Chen Mu said was fatally attractive to him.
May I ask who is willing to abandon their homeland and migrate to other places
If there is a chance, of course it would be better to stay in the village.
But at this time, he was really embarrassed to answer. How could the young people have to suffer so much in order to help the village to this extent, how could he answer with a dark heart.
The Uighur old man coughed lightly, and persuaded Chen Mu: "Xiao Mu, what you said... well, it will cost a lot of money, so... why don't we think about it again?"
Chen Mu thought for a while, and probably understood what the Uyghur elders were worried about. He shook his head and said, "Uncle Aizmaiti, don't worry, it won't hurt."
After a slight pause, he turned his head and said to the old man Jamal: "Uncle Jamal, in fact, this is the same as if I expand the forest farm. Everything is the same as ours here. Instead of you moving here, I will simply make it You guys, open the forest farm to your doorstep and ask you to help me plant trees in the village. Well, you should strictly follow our instructions on how to plant trees, and I will pay you as much salary as you want. , isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
"Xiaomu, do you really want to open a forest farm in our village?"
The old man Jamal thought about it, but he was still a little unsure.
After all, when he came, he only wanted to ask Chen Mu for a favor, and let people from his village come to work in Muya's forest farm, and that would be very good.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mu threw such a good thing and hit him on the head, which made him really feel a little dizzy, and he couldn't recover for a while.
Chen Mu nodded affirmatively: "Uncle Jamal, this is of course true, you can sign the land contract for me as soon as you go back, I want all the land around your village, as much as you want, I will You have a lot of points."
Containing the smile on his face, Chen Mu said seriously again: "However, there is one thing we have to agree in advance, Bazaar Village is too far away, I can't keep staring at it, Uncle Jamal, you But help me to keep an eye on the people in your village, if they take my salary and stay idle, then I will be angry, and don’t blame me for not giving you old face in the future.”
Hearing what Chen Mu said, the old man Jamal immediately patted his chest with his hands: "Xiao Mu, don't worry, the old man will keep an eye on you even if he tries his best not to, if anyone in the village is so ignorant, I'll kill him... um, him... um, drive his family out of the village, so that he can no longer be a member of Baza Village."
Chen Mu smiled: "That's not the case, Uncle Jamal, you just need to help me look after it. In fact, planting trees is not only for me, but also for the improvement of the environment in the village and make it better. .”
The old man Jamal nodded: "That's right, Xiaomu, you are kind-hearted and willing to help our village. The old man knows it. I will definitely explain it to the people in the village when I go back. They all know what is good and what is bad."
Chen Mu looked at the resolute expression on the old man's face, and he was not polite, and said: "If possible, I will give you the contract for enclosing the land as soon as possible. If your village committee agrees, then we will sign it , get things settled as soon as possible."
"No problem."
Such a good thing, the old man Jamal agreed without hesitation.
"One more thing."
Chen Mu thought for a while, and continued, "In a few days, I will find a well-drilling team to go to the village to help you dig the well deeper, check the situation, and then dig a few wells outside the village by the way. It is convenient to plant trees."
After a slight pause, Chen Mu added another sentence: "I will pay for the well drilling, uncle, you don't have to worry."
"This... thank you very much."
The old man was moved and couldn't say anything other than "thank you".
Seeing the appearance of his old friend, the Uighur old man couldn't help but tease him: "You old man, you really took advantage of this time, and when Xiaomu comes to your village, you have to kill a sheep to entertain him. .”
The old man Jamal did not hesitate this time, and nodded honestly: "If you want it, if you want it, I will pick the sheep when I get back. It must be the fattest and best sheep. As long as Xiao Mu goes there In our village, I will slaughter the sheep whenever I want, and then you all go and eat the roasted whole sheep together."
The Uyghur old man knew why his old friend was so excited. The village has been poor for so many years. As the head of a village, life is really not easy.
At the beginning, their Yakash village was also sad. Wasn't it because of Xiaomu's arrival that they got better now
Comparing heart to heart, the taste here is probably the same.
After that, Chen Mu led the old man Jamal around the forest farm for a while. The agitated old man was probably in a hurry to go back and talk to the villagers of Baza Village, and he didn't want to delay outside for a moment, so he didn't even have water. After taking a sip, he hurried back to the village.
After the people left, the old Uighur looked at Chen Mu with complicated eyes: "You child, you have such a kind heart, but you will suffer a lot."
Chen Mu shook his head and wanted to explain a few words, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything, so he could only let the old man sigh and leave silently.
At this moment, he suddenly felt—
I am really a man who bears all kinds of misunderstandings from others, but can only be strong without explaining, and walks forward alone.
