Chapter 1077 How big is this project?

  In more than a year, Xu Changsheng traveled to more than 20 cities and counties, more than 300 villages and towns, and mastered detailed first-hand materials on the local hydrology and climate, seasonal changes, etc.

  He ran dark and thin, but his body became stronger and stronger under the baptism of wind and sand.

   And the inner temperament and toughness have been greatly tempered.

  Liu Qingshan looked at Xu Changsheng with a smile, felt the great changes that had taken place in the third brother, and was extremely gratified.

  Compared to Boss Zhang and Wei Bing, Xu Changsheng is obviously more persistent and possesses the qualities most needed by successful people.

  The four brothers made out for a while, and then Xu Changsheng introduced the accompanying leaders from the county to Liu Qingshan and the others.

   "Comrade Qingshan, welcome, welcome, you are really lucky to be here to guide our work."

   County Magistrate Gong shook hands with Liu Qingshan enthusiastically, and kept his posture very low, even using words such as guiding work.

  Generally, it is used when the superior leaders come to inspect.

   County Magistrate Gong knew it well: this God of Wealth is much more useful than the superiors.

   "You are too polite." Liu Qingshan smiled and shook hands with the other party.

   After a few pleasantries, I was invited to the guest house in the county, and it was already lunch time.

  Liu Shiquan also followed Zhanguang and enjoyed a leadership treatment.

   Don't look at the backcountry here, but the food is very special, especially the mutton is very authentic.

   Throughout the afternoon and evening, Liu Qingshan and the others discussed with Xu Changsheng.

  Xu Changsheng took out several thick notebooks, all of which he recorded during this year.

  On the basis of planting grapes, Liu Qingshan proposed a development strategy for wolfberry gardens.

   On this point, although Xu Changsheng didn't know the development of later generations, he only regarded wolfberry as a kind of medicinal material, so he naturally agreed, but he felt that the scale was a bit large.

   Radiating to several surrounding cities and counties, in case of slow sales, it will be troublesome.

  Liu Qingshan said with a smile that there is no problem. If it is not possible, it can still be exported. In the international market, wolfberry is also very popular and is considered a natural and healthy health care product.

  Xu Changsheng advocated that the county should carry out the pilot project now. Regardless of a single county, more than 20 townships and more than 100 villages are involved. If it is really fully rolled out, the investment and scale will be quite large.

  After they unified their thinking internally, they held consultations with the local government the next day.

   This incident was quite a sensation, and even provincial and municipal leaders were invited to come.

  This is also good, because in the actual implementation, there are many problems that need to be coordinated by the government.

  After two days of consultations, a plan was roughly drawn up, the main contents including:

  The company under Liu Qingshan plans to spend 500 million yuan to complete the project of building vineyards and wolfberry gardens.

  Of course, the 500 million yuan doesn’t need to be taken out all at once, it can be invested in installments and batches.

  As for the initial start-up capital, Liu Qingshan prepared 100 million yuan.

  Don't think that 100 million is a lot. First, we must solve the problem of irrigation water.

  Because of the local water shortage, it is necessary to draw water from the Yellow River from dozens of kilometers away for irrigation.

  In this way, it is estimated that the 100 million may not be enough to build water canals and reservoirs in advance.

   How big of a project is it to lead water canals to every village?

  The local government had a similar plan before, but after the budget came out, the project was put on hold. The government really couldn't afford the money.

  Leaders at all levels are now completely relieved, and they are sure: the other party is absolutely sincere in investing.

   People are full of sincerity, and the local government should also show its attitude.

  So the county magistrate Gong immediately said: The construction of the canal is a merit for the present and will benefit the future, and the most benefited are their local farmers.

  So during the construction, each village will actively cooperate and organize villagers to send out volunteers.

   In this way, the investor mainly produces raw materials and construction machinery, and no longer has to worry about manpower, which can save a lot of money.

  That is to say, in this era, the team is relatively easy to lead. After decades, it may not be possible to organize such a large-scale battle.

  Under Liu Qingshan's proposal, the second item is to plant trees.

  Yes, it is planting trees, not busy planting vineyards and wolfberry gardens.

  The local wind and sand are raging. If you don’t plant trees and don’t find a way to prevent the wind and fix the sand, the vineyard can be blown away by you.

   Now, even the provincial and municipal leaders were moved. At that time, there was a big project called the Three-North Shelterbelt System, which was a major event of the local government.

   Never imagined that when people come to invest, they will directly participate in local construction.

  The senior officials present stated on the spot: They will give full support, and they will contribute their strength.

  Actually, Liu Qingshan and the others just pay for saplings and grass seeds.

  However, the amount of vegetation planted is huge, and the money is also not a small amount of money.

  The third item is to build vineyards and wolfberry gardens.

  Liu Qingshan has more experience in this area. He proposed that farmers use land and labor as shares to jointly establish a cooperative, and then distribute dividends according to the shares.

   In this way, a community of interests will be formed, and local farmers will regard this work as their own business, and they will definitely devote themselves to it.

   This is also largely based on the successful experience of Jiapigou.

  They are responsible for capital and technology, and local farmers are responsible for producing land and labor.

   This is a systematic and huge project. Xu Changsheng will be stationed here for a long time, and he will be accompanied by a team, including various technical personnel.

  After the consultations, the leaders couldn't help but feel uplifted. Their place belongs to the kind of place where birds don't shit. They never dared to imagine that such a huge investment would fall from the sky.

  So from the top to the bottom, they all attach great importance to it, and no matter what, they must actively cooperate.

  They know how hard-won such an opportunity is. If they still can't grasp it, then those who are cadres should go home and hold their children.

   After deploying the large framework, Liu Qingshan was relieved. The rest of the work was left to Xu Changsheng, who first organized a team of experts to divert water for irrigation and plant trees and grass.

   At the same time, each village formed cooperatives to carry out the first phase of construction of vineyards and wolfberry gardens.

  Like a vineyard, at least a greenhouse needs to be built.

  In the evening, Liu Qingshan's four brothers were sitting in the room drinking and chatting.

  Several bags of peanuts, one ham sausage per person, no need for wine glasses, a bottle of wine, you take turns to drink one by one.

  All of this seems to be back to the time of the university dormitory.

   "Third brother, why didn't you see your girlfriend?" Liu Qingshan finally decided to ask about it.

  Xu Changsheng squeezed a peanut and threw it into his mouth, his expression remained calm: "I've been running with me here for two months, and I can't stand the harsh environment here."

   After a moment of silence, Xu Changsheng continued: "Everyone has the right to choose their own life, so I told her to go back to the big city."

  The three remaining brothers nodded together, and Boss Zhang hummed twice: "Alright, those who can't share weal and woe are not good enough for you, third child."

  Xu Changsheng smiled very cleanly, it seems that his heart has long been relieved.

  Liu Qingshan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Third brother, when your vineyard has a good harvest and you make good wine, there will naturally be beautiful women coming to smell the fragrance."

   "Hahaha, the youngest is a master of prophecy, this must be true!" Wei Bing also laughed.

   This night, Xu Changsheng was completely drunk, and he was finally able to sleep soundly.

   On the second day, Liu Qingshan finally welcomed Uncle Lu and Uncle Lao Maoer who rushed over from the capital.

  In the team, there are also several experts invited, two of whom are studying the history of Xixia, and Fatty Jin is also there. He also has extremely high achievements in the research of ancient books, calligraphy and painting.

   And Vera also came along. She studied under Mr. Lu, an ancient philologist, and was invited to come together this time.

  After preparing for a day in the county seat, this temporary expedition team officially set off.

  As for Zhang Boss and Wei Bing, they will stay here for the time being and help Xu Changsheng.

  In the expedition team, in addition to four off-road vehicles, there were also five large trucks, pulling various supplies.

  From tents, to warm down jackets, to boxes of bottled water and all kinds of food, they are almost full.

  Liu Shiquan sat in the front car and acted as a guide.

  Looking at the large army with strong soldiers and horses, Liu Shiquan was also full of confidence.

  The convoy traveled for more than a day, and from a distance, you could see the great desert in the distance.

  And the ruins of Heishui City they were going to was still deep in the desert.

   After entering the desert, motor vehicles are basically scrapped, so the most primitive means of transportation have to be used.

   Either on foot, or hired camel caravans.

  Liu Qingshan was not short of money, of course he asked Liu Shiquan to take someone to hire a camel team.

  As for the convoy, they stationed in a small village closest to the desert.

   "This desert is really big!"

  It was the first time for Xiao Liuzi to see a desert. He happily ran up a small sand dune, and then rolled down, turning into a sand man.

   "It's very dangerous to take children into the desert." Mr. Lu, a philologist, frowned, probably thinking that the little six children are a burden.

   "Teacher, Little Six is ​​a very powerful little genius doctor. We all need her to take care of us." Vera explained to Master with a smile.

  Mr. Lu shook his head in disbelief.

   After waiting at the station for two days, Liu Shiquan led Li Tie and the others back. They also brought back more than a dozen tall camels and two experienced camel drivers.

   "The camels here all have two humps, which makes them more comfortable to ride." Xiao Liu was at Lilan's side, of course he had seen many camels.

   But there are dromedary camels over there, and they are smaller in size.

  Xiao Liuzi circled around the camel, but the camel was too tall and he couldn't climb it at all, which made a circle of people laugh and watch.

  Even though Xiaoliuzi is small, she has seen a lot. She stretched out her small hand and patted the long face of the big camel, and the camel fell directly on the ground, letting Xiaoliuzi climb on its back.

   "Drive!" shouted the little six.

  The camel stood up slowly and walked forward.

   "Run, run, run!" Little Six was still too slow, patting the camel's generous back.

  The camel really quickened its pace and jolted up, but this time it broke down. The little six couldn't sit still, and fell directly, half of his body was buried in the sand.

  The old comrades in the expedition team shook their heads again and again: This is a serious scientific investigation, not a tour of mountains and rivers!
