Chapter 650 651【In full swing】


    In the early 1990s, private business was still restricted, let alone large-scale land contracting.


    Xiang Nan is now a celebrity in the province, and under the banner of leading the villagers to get rich, he has contracted wasteland in the Gobi Desert, and finally gained support from the province to the city, and from the city to the county. , specially approved 400 acres of land for him.


    Otherwise, it is simply impossible.


    After getting the land, Xiang Nan immediately hired cars and people to level and prepare the land, fertilize and water it in preparation for planting fruit trees.


    ?After a large amount of money was invested, the desolate Gobi Desert suddenly became filled with the roar of machines, which was full of enthusiasm and roar.


    …


    The people in Anjia strongly disapproved of Xiang Nan returning to the village to plant fruit trees.


    “Suiwa, you live well in the city, why do you want to come back and plant fruit trees?” An Guomin expressed his confusion.


    "Brother, please don''t plant fruit trees. It''s better to take your brother to the city." An Yongshou also requested, "It''s better for me to work in the city than to stay in the Gobi Desert and eat sand."


    “Yeah, brother, it’s none of our business whether other people are rich or not.” An Yongkang didn’t understand either. “If you have that kind of money, you can open a store in the city and our whole family can move in there. How easy it would be!”


    "You don''t understand." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "What can you do in the city? You have no knowledge or culture. Apart from working hard, what else can you do in the city? You think it is easy to mix in the city, and you can''t mix well. , I don’t even have to eat, it’s even more bitter than eating sand here.


    Um, I came here to invest in planting fruit trees to find a way for you to survive. After the orchard is established, you will all learn skills from me. With one skill at his disposal, he will not be afraid of traveling all over the world. "


    Xiang Nan actually doesn’t have deep feelings for An Yongfu’s family.


    First of all, Xiang Nan was not familiar with them; secondly, An Yongfu was beaten to paralysis in the play, and it was Shui Hua who supported the family with his own hard work. During this period, the An family never showed up.


    Of course, after separation, each family will take care of its own family. Brothers have no obligation to support, and they can''t say anything if they don''t help. But to ignore it is always disappointing.


    So Xiang Nan will not pay to let them go to the city to start a business and enjoy happiness. If they were willing, they followed him and learned to grow fruit trees. Even if he doesn''t want to, he won''t be too partial to them.


    Hearing what Xiang Nan said, An Yongshou and An Yongkang had no choice but to do it.


    …


    As for the villagers, whether they understand Xiang Nan’s decision to return to the village to plant fruit trees or not, they generally support it.


    First, after the orchard is built, villagers can come in to work. Help plant trees, prune trees, irrigate trees, pick trees...


    Secondly, after the orchard is established, they can come and learn skills. If planting fruit trees really makes money, then they can also plant...


    Thirdly, such a large orchard must bear a lot of fruit. They are all from the village, and they will probably not object if they pick the fruit and eat it in the future.


    So they are happy to support it.


    …


    In May, Xiang Nan went to Northwest Agricultural University, where he purchased grape, wolfberry, apple, and pear seedlings to plant in his own orchard.


    ?Northwestern Agricultural University, the predecessor of Northwest Agricultural and Forestry University, was founded in 1934. Its strength in agricultural science and technology ranks among the best in the country.


    Xiang Nan is ready to cooperate with them. First, he wants to purchase the most advanced and high-quality seedlings; second, he hopes to get expert assistance.


    ?Although he has Xie Yongqiang’s fruit tree cultivation technology, the climate, water and soil in the Northeast and the climate, water and soil in the Xia Dynasty are not exactly the same after all.


    So expert guidance is still needed to maximize the success of fruit tree planting and orchard harvest every year. Northwest Agricultural University also attached great importance to Xiang Nan’s request for help. It not only provided high-quality seedlings, but also sent a team of professors and students to help Xiang Nan plant fruit trees and lead the Jintan Village to prosperity.


    Xiang Nan also reciprocated the favor, donating 50,000 yuan to Northwest Agricultural University, and promised to focus on praising Northwest Agricultural University in his next work.


    …


    On May 15, six Jiefang trucks drove into Jintan Village.


    Subsequently, the villagers of Jintan Village were organized to plant fruit trees at a price of forty yuan per acre under the command of Xiang Nan, agricultural professors, and students.


    ?This price excited the villagers and they signed up one after another.


    Forty yuan per acre, this price is really great for them.


    They work in brick kilns and sand and gravel factories. They are exhausted every day and earn only a few yuan. Now you can earn 40 yuan per acre by planting trees.


    ? And a strong laborer can plant half an acre of trees in one day, which costs twenty yuan, which is much easier than sifting sand or moving bricks.


    ?So the whole family, old and young, went to work together. Those who dug holes dug holes, and those who watered water were busy in full swing.


    Yuquanying is also very supportive of Xiang Nan’s construction of an orchard in Jintan Village.


    Firstly, the orchard can provide a large number of job opportunities for Jintan Village; secondly, after the fruit trees are planted, they can prevent wind and sand, conserve soil and water, and improve the local environment.


    “Comrade An, I really want to thank you.” He said gratefully.


    "We are all fellow villagers, so you don''t have to be polite." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Comrade Ma, I want to build an orchard here, and I need you to take more care of it in the future."


    "I don''t think so, just tell me if you have anything to do." Ma Defu nodded.


    "If you want to talk about things, there are really things." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "One is the water problem. The irrigation branch canal has not been built yet, and the water from the water pumping station cannot be used. Watering can only be done by trucks. And the fruit trees are It requires a lot of water, and the cost of hauling water is too high.


    Either repair the ditch as soon as possible so that water can flow to the orchard. Or we can only dig a motorized well and pump water to water the garden ourselves.


    This involves the second issue, which is the issue of electricity. Our Jintan Village still doesn’t have electricity, and the wooden wells we built are useless, so we’d better get electricity as soon as possible. "


    "I''m busy talking about electricity right now." Ma Defu smiled awkwardly, "The power supply station originally had regulations that the village must have at least 80 households before it is allowed to provide power. I asked Director Zhang after asking for help. It has dropped to 60 households, but now there are only about 40 households in Jintan Village, which is still a little short of that.


    Eh, we are also currently thinking of ways to give priority to those who immigrate to Diaozhuang to Jintan Village. But it will take some time. Just wait patiently.


    ?The work on water canals will also be stepped up. This project is also being worked on now, and I think it should be completed soon. "


    “Comrade Ma, if you send this message back, tell anyone who comes to Diaozhuang, Jintan Village, to immigrate, and they will receive a private sponsorship of three hundred yuan for each family.” Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.


    It can be powered on when it is enough for sixty people, but it takes thousands of dollars, it is really drizzle. In comparison, Xiang Nan can''t bear the days without electricity even more.


    Without electricity, not only can’t we water the ground, but we can’t watch TV, washers, air conditioners, or refrigerators. It’s like we’ve returned to primitive society.


    Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Ma Defu couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    Not only lamented his luxury, but also envied his wealth. He couldn''t come up with several thousand yuan anyway.
