Regarding Lanfang's external expansion, Qin Zhiyuan has always said: What Lanfang brings to the world is not war and disaster, but a better way of life. 23us.

This is of course Qin Zhiyuan's one-sided statement. In fact, it is not just Qin Zhiyuan who says this. The British, French, Americans, or anyone else, as long as they are countries with colonies in the world, will say this.
So where is this better lifestyle reflected?
Is it reflected in the plantations everywhere and the chopped off hands and feet of women and children?
Qin Zhiyuan is indeed thick-skinned sometimes, but he is not so shameless. After a series of twists and turns, Lan Fang has now established the Western Province. Qin Zhiyuan just wants to do something, make something that can be seen by the world, to prove that Lan Fang
Fang has indeed brought a better way of life to the people of Western Province.
Planting trees is one of Qin Zhiyuan's methods.
The territory of the Western Province is actually not very good, at least not good enough compared to Lanfang itself. Although the territory of the Western Province in the Middle East covers the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia and has many oases, it is generally a semi-desert area, just because of the
Compared with other desert areas in the Middle East, the vegetation in the Mesopotamia Basin seems to be better, but the degree of improvement is limited. If no treatment is carried out, the desert area will further expand and the oases will continue to decrease. By then, the Mesopotamia Basin will be like Djibouti.
Become a barren land.
Qin Zhiyuan certainly doesn't want this, so even if Chen Kangjian is not happy, afforestation is one of Chen Kangjian's next important tasks, even more important than economic construction.
Looking back, I will organize experts to cultivate better seedlings and find varieties more suitable for planting in the Western Province. My requirement is that the greening in the Western Province must double every year, which means that the forest coverage area must be the same as the previous year.
More than double, Yecheng is responsible for providing you with technical support. You need to overcome other difficulties. This year’s goal should be smaller first. Everyone in the Western Province must participate in afforestation, including you.
Everyone’s tentative goal is ten trees. By September next year, Djibouti will have at least 400,000 more trees. If you can’t reach the goal, prepare to stay in Djibouti for the rest of your life. Qin Zhiyuan issued a death order,
It must be achieved no matter what.
Your Majesty, please kill me. Chen Kangjian immediately acted up and acted like he was about to roll on the ground.
Even if I want to kill you, I have to wait until you plant ten trees first. Qin Zhiyuan was unmoved and his attitude was still firm.
In fact, this goal is not difficult to achieve. The growth cycle of a date palm tree is about eight or nine months, which means that a date palm tree that is eight or nine months old can bloom and bear fruit. Perhaps it requires manpower to cultivate it in the early stage, and wait until it can bloom and bear fruit.
At that time, you basically don’t need to worry about it.
Climate and forest coverage are absolutely directly proportional. The current harsh natural conditions in Djibouti have a lot to do with Djibouti's desolation. If Qin Zhiyuan's goal of planting 400,000 trees this year can be achieved, it will definitely have a positive impact on Djibouti's natural environment.
Very useful.
Generally speaking, afforestation does not need to be very intensive. Thirty or forty trees in one acre of land are already very good. Even if 40 trees are planted in one acre of land, 400,000 trees will cover an area of 10,000 acres. That can already cover an area of 10,000 acres.
Sixty-seven square kilometers is enough to improve the ecological environment of a city.
Of course, compared to the more than 20,000 square kilometers of Djibouti, these six or seven square kilometers are a drop in the bucket, but this is a good start. As long as we continue to work hard, sooner or later, all of Djibouti will become a primitive state.
The forest is so lush.
Only then will Qin Zhiyuan be qualified to say that Lanfang has truly brought a better lifestyle to the people of Western Province.
Okay, I'll plant ten trees, but where will I get water? Chen Kangjian felt that there was no greater grief than death, and he was already speaking every word.
Djibouti has a plateau and Gobi terrain, and the only few rivers in the territory are seasonal rivers. Occasionally, it rains and will discharge into the sea because there are no effective flood storage facilities. The only two lakes in the territory, Lake Assal and Lake Abe, are
They are both saltwater lakes, which cannot be consumed directly or used for irrigation. Therefore, water resources are very precious in Djibouti. Chen Kangjian and his family have to use tankers to transport their domestic water from other places. They really have no spare time to plant trees.
You don’t have to worry about this. Imperial University will provide you with technical support. Geological experts and drilling teams will come soon. The water resource problem must be solved. Qin Zhiyuan will not put his hope of solving the problem in the introduction of external resources.
Developing one's own potential is the way to go.
Whether it is the Gobi or the desert, there is groundwater available for use. The only difficulty may be the depth of the well, but this is not a problem at all for Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan's fortune depended on oil. If oil wells can be drilled, water wells will naturally be no problem.
Well, if the problem of water resources can be solved, then planting trees will be no problem. Chen Kangjian finally gained some confidence.
From Chen Kangjian's point of view, Chen Kangjian certainly hopes that Djibouti will become a forest city so that Lanfang soldiers stationed here can feel more comfortable.
In fact, many problems in this world are not problems. It depends on whether you have the determination to solve them.
The Chairman has a saying that man can conquer nature. This sentence has become a manifestation of arrogance among some people in the 21st century. In fact, if there is no determination of man to conquer nature, the republic in the 21st century will be in vain, no matter whether it can or not
To win over heaven, you must at least have the determination and belief to win over heaven, only then will you have enough motivation.
Once you have the idea of planting trees, you need to turn it into reality.
Early the next morning, Qin Zhiyuan gathered a group of military and government officials at the gate of the Governor's Mansion where he was staying, preparing to set an example.
This Governor's Palace is the residence of the former French Governor in Djibouti. Although the rest of Djibouti is a shabby slum, this Governor's Palace is magnificent.
The French are also very wealthy. When they first built the Governor's Palace, the building materials used were all transported thousands of miles from France. The Governor's Palace is a palace-style building, which is no less impressive than the Fontainebleau in France.
There are lawns and gardens in front of the Governor's Palace, which is in stark contrast to the dilapidated buildings around it.
In fact, even in the current Tadjoura Bay, there are scattered plants growing strongly, such as junipers, acacias, date palms and other trees. Of course, the most common ones are date palms, which can grow to two or three years old.
Ten meters high, it looks really tall and straight, and looks great.
After an in-depth talk with Chen Kangjian last night, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Gao Hongshi to get ten date palm trees overnight and prepare to plant them at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Chen Kangjian certainly understood what Qin Zhiyuan meant. In order to emphasize the importance of afforestation, Chen Kangjian also bought dozens of date palm saplings, which were prepared for Julie and Misha.
Qin Zhiyuan planted trees as a show. Of course, Qin Zhiyuan didn't need to do anything like digging a hole. When Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the lawn, the tree hole had already been dug and the water for watering the trees was ready. Qin Zhiyuan had to do it
The best thing to do is to put the saplings into the pit, and then all the civil and military personnel swarm over, even sealing the soil without Qin Zhiyuan's action.
I will leave these trees to you. I will come back to see them in a few years. If there is a problem with any of them, I will take it out on you. Qin Zhiyuan will not let Chen Kangjian go. After planting the trees, he will have to talk to Chen Kangjian.
Healthy emphasis.
Your Majesty, please rest assured. If any problem arises, I will be the only one to ask. I will promise to build at least 200 square kilometers of forest in Djibouti within five years. If this is not possible, I will be willing to take military action. Chen Kangjian also swears by it.
After a night, Chen Kangjian finally came to his senses.
No matter from which aspect, afforestation is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Djibouti is now Lanfang's Djibouti. It will also be Lanfang's largest military base in the Middle East and North Africa. Lanfang people want to establish a strong presence in North Africa and the Middle East.
To truly stand firm, we must turn Djibouti into a geomantic treasure land and make all Lanfang people willing to defend Djibouti. Only in this way can Lanfang truly turn Djibouti into Lanfang's land.
Lanfang currently has more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in Djibouti, plus thousands of locals and an unknown number of workers brought from other places. It is not difficult for one person to plant ten trees a year. As long as there is technical support, this is just a matter of piggybacking.
Even if the soldiers have other tasks, it is not difficult to water them when they are free.
And once Lanfang turns Djibouti into a forest city, not to mention how much international reputation this will win for Lanfang, even when Chen Kangjian and others get old, they can confidently brag to their children and grandchildren: I used to go south.
The Northern War was not just about killing people, I also did many meaningful things.
That's enough
Okay, remember what you said, and when you complete the task, I will personally congratulate you. Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to praise, and it is time for Lan Fang to take on international responsibilities.
Following Qin Zhiyuan's order, the entire Western Province took action.
The first to take action was the Mesopotamia. In fact, according to natural conditions, the conditions in the Mesopotamia are much better than those in Djibouti. Both the Tigris and Euphrates rivers have a long history. In human history, the Mesopotamia almost gave birth to the earliest human civilization.
, at least one of the earliest civilizations. To this day, these two rivers still nourish the people on this land. Unfortunately, in the hands of the Persians, the natural environment of the two river basins is really the same as the two rivers in human history.
Status is not commensurate.
Lan Fang has been emigrating to the two river basins for less than half a year. In this short half year, Lan Fang has immigrated nearly 400,000 people to the two river basins. If Qin Zhiyuan's plan is followed, these nearly 400,000 people can create six people in one year.
The seventy square kilometers of forest will soon turn into a tropical rain forest, no, a tropical forest.
