As for the reason, there is no other reason. They are relatively more familiar with each other, that's all.
Yang Shulin and Li Mumu were both visiting the northwest for the first time and were very curious about it.
I only heard that the northwest was very backward, but they didn't know to what extent it was backward.
Following the principle of asking if you don't understand, the two of them started asking.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just drought, and the land is vast and sparsely populated." Su Xiaotian didn't know what to say: "Because of the lack of water, agricultural output has been limited over the years, and industry has been unable to develop."
Short of water?
This is unimaginable for Yang Shulin and Li Mumu.
How could there be a lack of water?
"Short of water? How can we be short of water?" Li Mumu asked curiously: "Is there no river?"
"There are still rivers, but they are relatively few compared to many cities in the south. It is much drier than Beijing. Moreover, most of the northwest is mountainous and lacks diversion methods. Even if there are rivers under the mountains, the water has no way to go up the mountains.
"
This is the actual situation. It is not that there is a lack of rivers, but that the water in the rivers cannot nourish the northwest land, causing most parts of the northwest land to be dry.
Chi Yiyuan fell into deep thought when he heard what Su Xiaotian said.
The terrain of the Heart Brigade is relatively low and there is no shortage of water. Therefore, the situation in the Heart Brigade and its surroundings is relatively good.
I heard that the conditions of the brigades in the surrounding mountains are much worse than those of the Heart Brigade.
"Will it rain?" Li Mumu asked curiously.
The weather in the south has many more rainy days than sunny days. He feels that as long as it rains, there will be no drought.
"Rain? It does happen." Su Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "However, compared to the south, there are relatively few rainy days, and it is probably a little less than the rainfall in the capital."
Su Xiaotian thought of the data she had read in the book and continued: "Take our Sanyu County as an example. The annual rainfall is about 350 mm, but the evaporation is as high as more than 1,600 mm. There is perennial drought and little rain, and the natural conditions are poor."
Li Mumu had the concept of relying on the sky for living, but he didn't know that the relying on the sky for living in his mind was not the same concept as what Su Xiaotian said.
"There may be ways to solve these problems in the future," Chi Yiyuan said.
Su Xiaotian smiled bitterly. Even after a few years, the situation in the northwest will not be very good, but there is always a little hope, right?
"If it doesn't rain very much, how will the crops be watered, and what will people and animals drink?" Li Mumu seemed to have turned on the curious baby mode at this time.
"Most places have no way to divert water for irrigation, so they have to rely on the weather for food. The crops have to fend for themselves. As for drinking water for people and animals, water is usually collected in water cellars. One water cellar can store water for a family for more than half a year, so normal life is no problem.
"
"Can crops grow well if they are not watered?"
"The yield is very low. If you encounter a normal year, it will be okay. If you encounter an abnormal drought year, the crops may fail. Moreover, in dry years, the water in the water cellar is not enough, and you still need to walk dozens of miles to pull the fields.
Water." Su Xiaotian said and couldn't help but sigh.
Su Shouwen and Su Ciliang stared at Su Xiaotian, feeling surprised. When did Xiaotian know so much about the surrounding situation? They didn't seem to know this.
But I felt relieved when I thought that Su Xiaotian was good at learning and that she might have read this knowledge from books.
The train finally arrived in the northwest amid the sound of "Gua Gua Gua".
They did not encounter any special circumstances along the way, and it could even be said that it went very smoothly.
Yang Shulin's hanging heart finally relaxed.
He was really worried that things would not go smoothly along the way and whether he could handle it alone.
It is really good to be so lucky to reach the northwest.
The train station is on the edge of Cam Ranh City, surrounded by dry mountains and ridges. Summer should be the time when the vegetation is most lush, but there is no green in the mountains here.
Li Mumu was really shocked by this.
Yang Shulin thought that the mountains in the capital were already very dry, but he didn't expect that there were very few trees in the mountains in the northwest.
"Why are there no trees on the mountains here?"
Yang Shulin took the initiative to ask such a question.
The yellow sand everywhere looks rough, but it's not very pleasing to the eye.
Su Xiaotian said helplessly: "It's too dry. We rely on the sky for food. It takes several years to plant a tree. If there is a drought for several months, the tree will dry up."
"However, I think this situation will change in the future, and the ecological environment will change for the better."
Su Xiaotian is also very sad about the current situation in the northwest, but this is a problem that will take a long time to solve.
The topic ends here.
The purpose of their visit this time is to make money, not to solve ecological problems.
Therefore, after a few people found a guest house to settle down, they went to the gates of major factories and colleges and universities to sell goods.
Although Cam Ranh City is located in the northwest, there are still several large-scale factories, such as a wool textile factory, a general factory, and two TV factories. There are many workers, and now the benefits are good, and the workers' wages are not low.
Su Xiaotian and others split the morning and afternoon, changing factories for half a day, just when the workers were off work.
The goods they brought back from Rongcheng are superior to the local products in Jinlan City, both in appearance and interior.
Therefore, although their goods are sold at high prices, they still attract many people.
"I didn't expect that the purchasing power of a place like the northwest border would be so strong!" Yang Shulin said with emotion after selling the three watches in his hand.
He only brought 200 yuan with him, but during his trip to the northwest, the amount went from 200 yuan to more than 400 yuan.
This made Yang Shulin regret even more why he didn't spend all the money his family had saved to buy a house.
If you hold more than one thousand yuan, this trip can turn into more than two thousand yuan.
But at this time, it was too late to regret.
He felt that he should change his character in the future.
Fortunately, it's four hundred yuan. When we get to Rongcheng, we can buy all the goods and take them back to the capital to sell them. Then we will have six to seven hundred yuan in hand.
This is also a considerable amount of income.
I have to say that Yang Shulin is a very easy to be satisfied character.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of this character that Dong Yuanzhong remembered him and gave him this opportunity.
However, because of his indifferent and contented personality, Yang Shulin missed an opportunity to make a small fortune.
Not only Yang Shulin's watches were sold, but also a large amount of goods in the hands of several of them, less than half of which was sold in one day.
"It's the truth that rare things can be lived in." Su Xiaotian was also very surprised at such an exaggerated speed.
