Chapter 331 A Strong Man
Chen Mu used the black technology map to look at the current situation in Bazaar Village and found that the scope of the desert had not expanded.
Although they achieved little success by clearing grass 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 planting trees.
Therefore, there are only two key points - money and people.
And these two points...bazaar village has neither.
Although the villagers of the impoverished Bazha Village made some money because of the farmhouse entertainment run by Chen Mu, it only made their money easier and their lives easier.
But if you want to use this money to plant trees, it will be a drop in the bucket and far from enough.
As for manpower, as old man Jamal said, all the people who can go out to work have left, and most of the remaining ones are the elderly, weak, women and children, and there are also some people who are unable to leave due to family ties.
The manpower in their village simply cannot undertake more tree planting tasks. After all, they have to do other things to make a living in order to support their families.
Chen Mu looked at the situation of the groundwater again. The water level in their wells had indeed dropped. The drought in the desert forced the groundwater to hide deeper. The closer the water was to the surface, the easier it was to evaporate, so the only choice was to drill the well deeper.
to get water.
However, there is no problem with the underground water source. It is displayed very smoothly on the map. All we need to do is to drill the well deeper.
His mind quickly turned around, and Chen Mu had some ideas of his own, but he had to first find out what Jamal and the other villagers in Bazar Village were thinking, and then he could guide them accordingly.
After pondering for a while, he added: "Uncle Jamal, I think so. The location of your Bazaar Village is really good now. Tourists who come to enjoy the farmhouse like your environment. If you really make the village
It would be a pity to give up, so I want to ask clearly, do you still do farmhouse entertainment there?"
Old man Jamal had probably thought about it before, and answered without much thought: "That's right, farmhouses are still necessary. After all, they are an income for the people in the village and cannot be lost. So,
We plan to keep some people in the village to take charge of farmhouses, while others will move out."
Chen Mu asked: "Where are you planning to move to?"
The old man Jamal smiled a little sheepishly and said nothing, but glanced at the old Uighur next to him.
The old Uyghur man frowned and said, "You old guy, what bad ideas do you have?"
Chen Mu also looked at the little old man wearing a small round hat with amusement. He felt that although the ravines on his face made by the wind and sand made him look naive, his little eyes revealed an Afanti-like look.
shrewd.
After the old man Jamal hesitated for a moment, he said: "People in our village have heard that the people in Yakash, Kaladada and Suokemei villages all work in Xiaomu's forest farm, and Xiaomu gives them all the money."
The wages are very high, so people in the village are saying that they will move to a place close to your forest farm, and in the future they will come to work for Xiao Mu to earn wages."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu was a little dumbfounded.
It's amazing that my reputation for generosity has not only spread throughout the villages in this desert, but has also spread to the desert. It can actually make people follow the scenery, which is really a bit popular.
The old Uighur man immediately couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You old man, what good things do you want? You have said it yourself. There are only some old and weak women and children left in your village. Are you here to work to earn wages?"
Are you here to get money?"
Old Jamal was a little embarrassed by his old friend's rebuke. He immediately scratched his neck and said loudly: "Xiao Mu, do you believe me? I can assure you that people in our village will never be lazy and slippery.
As long as you are willing to let them come, they will work hard for you."
Chen Mu saw that the old man was excited and waved his hand quickly: "Uncle Jamal, how could I not believe you? I have met all the people in the village. They are all honest people and of course they will not lie to me.
"
When the old man Jamal heard what Chen Mu said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his old friend sideways and said disdainfully: "Aizimaiti, you old guy, look at you, you are not as grand as a kid. Humph.
I think you are afraid that people from our village will come and compete with the lazy people in your village, right?"
"Nonsense!"
The old Uyghur man had a straight face and said, "You can come if you want, but you have to ask Xiao Mu first if he needs that many people here... Well, there aren't many jobs here, so we can't let Xiao Mu raise so many people in vain.
Human?"
In fact, old man Jamal didn't really want to challenge his old friend. After hearing what his old friend said, he felt that it was reasonable. He couldn't help but look at Chen Mu with a little worry, wanting to hear what Chen Mu had to say.
Chen Mu is now facing the dilemma of recruiting people, so of course he won't be dissatisfied with the number of people.
However, planting trees does not necessarily have to be done in Muya’s forest farm. In his opinion, it would actually be good to let people from Bazha Village plant trees near the village.
Chen Mu just thought about it. Although Bazha Village is located in the desert, it is also within the scope of the black technology map. The villagers of Bazha Village planting trees to control desertification can also contribute to his vitality.
In other words, when the villagers of Bazha Village planted trees for their own village, they were also helping him plant trees.
Therefore, just for this point, Chen Mu should also support it.
He had an idea to allow the people of Bazha Village to continue planting trees in the village. He was responsible for providing them with saplings and at the same time paying them wages, just like the villagers working 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 use it as a forest farm. When the forest farm is planted, he can also apply for subsidies from the public.
In this way, there are many benefits.
The first advantage is that the villagers of Bazha Village do not need to move.
The second benefit is that the villagers in Baza Village who have received their wages no longer have to worry about supporting their families, and will work harder to plant trees for them and accumulate more vitality points for them.
The third benefit is that from the perspective of protecting the environment, he supports local people to plant trees and control desertification, which is a great cause.
The fourth benefit is that farmhouses can continue to be developed. In the future, when conditions are mature, B&Bs can even be built in Bazaar Village. The development potential is huge.
After slowly sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Chen Mu told old man Jamal his thoughts one by one.
Both the old man Jamal and the old Uighur listened quietly, and both of them were a little speechless.
They didn't know Chen Mu's black technology map and vitality value, and they couldn't hear any benefit from Chen Mu's ideas. The only feeling was that Chen Mu wanted to spend his own money and let the villagers of Bazha Village work hard to plant trees and save their lives.
own home.
In the past, when people planted trees in Bazha Village, they had to spend their own money to buy seedlings and organize people to plant trees. Many times, the villagers were not willing to do it, so the effect was very little.
But now if we really do what Chen Mu said, the situation will be completely different.
First of all, Chen Mu was willing to provide saplings, which saved a lot of money.
Moreover, Chen Mu is willing to pay wages to the villagers. As long as such a good thing is taken back, the people in the village will probably fight over it. They will never be as unwilling to plant trees as before.
Although Chen Mu had declared in advance that he would contract the land in Baza Village, and the government's tree planting subsidies would also go to Muya Company in the future, everyone had an account in mind.
You can't make much money just by relying on government subsidies from planting trees. At best, you can only ensure that you have enough to eat without losing money.
Only by developing side businesses to drive income can it be possible to make money.
Baza Village has always only planted trees and has no funds or manpower to develop any sideline businesses.
Therefore, they lose money by planting trees, and they don’t even dare to think about making money.
Now Chen Mu is just throwing money in vain to help Bazaar Village and all the people in the village.
Old man Jamal was a little speechless. What Chen Mu said had a fatal attraction for him.
I would like to ask who is willing to abandon their home and move to other places?
If there is a chance, of course it would be better to stay in the village.
But he was really embarrassed to respond at this time. How could a young man suffer so much in order to help the village to this extent? How could he respond with such a dark heart?
The old Uighur coughed slightly and advised Chen Mu: "Xiao Mu, what you are talking about...well, it will cost a lot of money. How about we think about it again?"
Chen Mu thought for a while and probably understood what the Uighur elder was worried about. He shook his head and said, "Uncle Aizimaiti, don't worry, you won't lose anything in this matter."
After a slight pause, he turned to the old man Jamal and said: "Uncle Jamal, this is actually the same as me expanding the forest farm. Everything is the same as here. Instead of you moving here, I will simply make do with it."
You guys, bring the forestry farm to your doorstep and ask you to help me plant trees in the village. Well, just follow our instructions exactly how to plant trees, and I will pay you as much salary as you want.
, isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
"Xiao Mu, do you really want to set up a forest farm in our village?"
Old man Jamal thought about it and was still a little unsure.
After all, when he came, he just wanted to ask Chen Mu for a favor and let people from his village come to work in Muya's forest farm. That would be great.
What he didn't expect was that Chen Mu actually threw such a big deal and hit him on the head, which made him feel a little dizzy and couldn't recover for a while.
Chen Mu nodded affirmatively: "Uncle Jamal, of course this is true. You can sign a land contract for me when you go back. I will take all the land around your village. I will pay as much as you want."
The points are all yours."
He suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "But there is one thing we have to agree on in advance. Bazaar Village is too far away. I can't keep an eye on it. Uncle Jamal, you
But you have to help me keep an eye on the people in your village. If they take my salary and still don't work, I will be angry. Don't blame me for not giving you face in the future."
Hearing what Chen Mu said, old man Jamal immediately slapped his chest with his hands: "Don't worry, Xiao Mu. Even if I risk my life, I will keep an eye on you. If anyone in the village is so ungrateful,
I'll kill him... um, drive him... um, drive his family out of the village, so that he can no longer be a member of Bazaar Village."
Chen Mu smiled: "That's not the case. Uncle Jamal, you just need to help me take care of it. In fact, planting trees is not only for me, but also for the improvement of the environment in the village.
.”
Old man Jamal nodded: "That's right, Xiao Mu, you are kind-hearted and willing to help our village. The old man knows this. I will make it clear 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 determined look on the old man's face and said without being polite, "If possible, I will give you the land contract as soon as possible. If your village committee agrees, then we will sign it."
, let’s settle things as soon as possible.”
"No problem."
Old man Jamal agreed to such a good thing without any ambiguity.
"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. I want to help you dig the well deeper and check the situation. Then I will also dig a few wells outside the village. This way
It’s easier to plant trees.”
After a slight pause, Chen Mu added: "I will pay for the well digging, uncle, you don't have to worry."
"This...thank you so much."
The old man was so moved after hearing this that he couldn't say anything else except "thank you".
When the Uighur old man saw his old friend's appearance, he couldn't help but joked: "You old guy, I really took advantage of you this time. When Xiaomu comes to your village, you have to kill a sheep to entertain him."
.”
Old Jamal did not choke this time, and nodded honestly: "Yes, yes, I will pick out the sheep when I get back. They must be the fattest and best sheep. As long as Xiaomu goes there anytime
In our village, I will slaughter the sheep at any time, and you will all go there at that time, and we will all eat roasted whole sheep together."
The old Uyghur man knew why his old friend was so excited. The village had been poor for so many years. As the head of a village, life was not easy.
Their village, Yakash, was equally sad at the beginning. Isn't it because Xiaomu came that things are getting better now?
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, the tastes here are probably the same.
After that, Chen Mu led old 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 in Bazaar Village about this. 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 others left, the Uighur old man looked at Chen Mu with complicated eyes: "You kid, 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 could not say anything. He could only let the old man sigh and leave silently.
At this moment, he suddenly felt——
