ALL NOVEL Chapter 173 Mu 91 never cheats the poor
The full-scale business of the farm has opened up an unprecedented situation in the base.
The achievements of the farm have made more resource players in the base jealous.
In addition to the Su Alliance, which was the first to take action, the Li Alliance, Wang Alliance, Liu Alliance, etc., appeared in the base one after another, dozens of alliances, large and small.
They pooled their resources together.
Around the base or a little further away, a large area of land is circled for land reclamation.
Although you can't grow decent vegetables and fruits, there is always no big problem in growing a single grain.
Regarding this point, both Fu Hengyuan and Mu Jiu said they were happy to hear it.
Opening up wasteland means recruiting people, which can solve the survival problems of the lower class refugees in a short time.
In this way, the stability of the base will be better, and everyone will have expectations and sustenance in their hearts, so they will not be too hopeless.
Once the grain is grown, it will not be handed over to the government, but it will still belong to the base. The more grain reserves, the better.
But soon, the self-organized wasteland reclamation team discovered a problem.
The weather in the early stages of extreme heat is indeed suitable for crop growth, and the sunlight will make the branches and leaves of the mother plant grow very lush.
And it is tall and lush, almost twice as tall as the ordinary rice ears before the end of the world.
On the contrary, when the ears were forming, the chain fell off, and all the nutrients were given to the leaves. The rice grew so small and sparse that it was impossible to see it.
But the rice grown in the wasteland outside the farm is big, plump and shiny in color, and there are more than just a few differences.
Their people tried to solve the problem, but the rice had already set ears. More than two months were wasted and they could only wait for the next wave of planting.
The Su Alliance alone only harvested 2 million kilograms of rice from 200 acres of fields.
It is less than 6000/1 of the results of 6 acres of land cleared under the farm organization.
After all, the league employs nearly 4 people, and in just two months, 1600 million points were distributed.
Coupled with the high-quality conditions including food and accommodation, the investment was lost to my grandma's family, which made Deputy Base Su angry to death.
But this small amount of money is nothing to these people. What they want is real food.
But you can't blame others for this, let alone leak the news, otherwise where will the face of him, the newly promoted deputy base commander, be.
The Su family was engaged in business before the end of the world. The last thing a businessman is afraid of is stepping into pitfalls. Wherever he falls, he can just get up.
The best way to solve this problem is to ask the farm for advice and not make any detours.
With the death lesson from the previous warehouse manager, Deputy Base Chief Xue, naturally no one dared to have any thoughts on the people on the farm anymore.
So Deputy Base Chief Su followed Fu Hengyuan's path and quietly showed his sincerity to Mu Jiu.
500 million points were credited to Mu Jiu's personal account at that time, which was a little thought.
Mu Jiu didn't beat around the bush and made a copy of Lou Nan's planting courseware and asked Fu Hengyuan to pass it on to Deputy Base Director Su.
Then he transferred 100 million points from his account to Lou Nan, and the business was completed.
Deputy base director Su is also a shrewd businessman and will not do business at a loss.
He made more than ten copies of the courseware and sold them to other planting alliances for 100 million each.
Needless to say, almost all alliances have encountered this problem, so they can easily recover their capital of 1000 million.
For this reason, the Su Alliance has fully doubled the field area for planting in the next season, that is, 4 acres.
The number of farmers remains unchanged, and they vow to make a big profit and earn back the points they lost previously.
But apart from the problem of planting, land reclamation will also face another problem.
According to the progress of the previous life, drought and water shortage will occur starting from the fifth month of extreme heat.
At this time, even daily water use began to have problems, let alone water for planting.
Continuing to plant will become a considerable burden. After all, no one cares about the sunk costs that have been paid.
Of course, Mu Jiu did not tell Deputy Base Chief Su this key information.
Regardless of whether the food was grown or not, the points the alliance gave to the many refugees who participated in the planting were real, and Mu Jiu had no reason to let the refugees suffer.
In fact, even before the second crop was harvested, the water supply from the base's faucets was already dwindling.
The top brass at those bases may not understand the current situation clearly.
But no one is willing to give up the money they have paid in the past.
Even if you know you may face the problem of water shortage, you still have to bite the bullet.
Soon, the wide river that supplied water near the base dried up little by little.
In order to ensure the convenience of field watering and irrigation, major planting alliances hired engineering teams to drill dozens of wells in the enclosures at their own expense for irrigation.
On the farm, after the second batch of rice was harvested, the next batch of planting work was not carried out.
After two rounds of planting on 6000 acres of wasteland, a total of 2500 million kilograms of rice was harvested.
Mu Jiu left 500 million kilograms as the farm's own grain reserves, and the rest was handed over to the base.
Next, Mu Jiu spent about a week retraining the 7200 young planting experts who would open up wasteland.
Send people up the mountain and start planting date trees and chestnut trees.
The seedlings were cultivated by Mu Jiu and Lou Nan in the research laboratory.
Originally, these two fruit trees were drought-resistant varieties and could produce sweet and juicy fruits under drought conditions.
After special improvements, it requires less water, is easy to care for, and is more suitable for extremely hot planting.
But it takes much longer to bear fruit than rice.
Planting trees on the mountains is just like farming on the plains. 1200 people serve as patrol administrators to supervise the people under their command.
The remaining 6000 people are each responsible for 4 trees, for a total of trees.
The entire hot spring mountain, which had been cut down and had suffered mudslides, was contracted.
At the same time, after nearly half a year of infrastructure construction, officials successfully moved one million people to the mountains to the north.
In the original land of the base, only military camps, command centers, official administrative agencies, warehouses and nuclear power plants are left.
After solving the temperature problem, water resources have become the biggest problem at present.
No one thought that water could be missing to this extent.
The official base where Mu Jiu is located is located on the border of the Changhe River, the largest and longest river in China. Logically speaking, there will be no water shortage wherever there is water shortage.
But now the river bed several hundred meters wide has reached the bottom, and many places have even cracked.
The surrounding large lakes disappeared directly from the surface.
The original spider-web-shaped plain in the south has turned directly into the Great Gobi, while the north is even more desolate, with loess everywhere you look.
After nearly four years of natural disasters, the city's high-rise buildings, which have been devoid of human activity, have gradually weathered and are about to merge with the surrounding wind and sand.
The lush oases everywhere are also gradually shrinking.
Fortunately, Fu Hengyuan saved a hand.
When Mu Jiu proposed to build a small reservoir underground on the farm.
He then set out to enclose the lake where he had fished during the extreme cold period to form a reservoir.
Then a large number of black sunshade balls were placed on the surface of the lake to cover the lake.
(the image is only a reference)
This can reduce the evaporation rate from the lake surface by 80-90%.
In fact, this lake has indeed become the only surface water source within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
Together with the water wells drilled in various places, they are used to maintain the daily life of the people in the base.
But even though there is a lot of water in this lake, for a base that supports a population of one million, this cannot last too long.
Therefore, a situation quickly developed in the base where water was more expensive than food.
And in the extremely hot state, the price of water continues to climb upward as time goes by.
Residents in the vast majority of level 3 safety zones have little spare time to wash their faces and clothes, except to buy daily drinking water, and use the water in other ways.
It was almost exactly the same period as what Mu Jiu had experienced in his previous life. The problem of water shortage could hardly be fundamentally solved.
But within the tall farm walls, except for staying up day and night, the employees on the farm live a happy life.
With the underground reservoir that Mu Jiu had prepared in advance, the farm would not be short of water, not even the cultivated land.
Under the extreme heat, all kinds of fruits grow wildly and wildly. Watermelons grow bigger than winter melons, and oranges are sweeter than honey.
In addition, during the extremely cold period, Mu Jiu asked Gu Yang to store large chunks of old ice in the basement, which came in handy now.
Not only can you cool down and get rid of the heat, you can also make iced fruit tea to drink, etc.
In short, there are thousands of ways to distinguish themselves from the refugees outside the wall and let them enjoy the end of the world.
After all, there was the brutal scene last time when Boss Mu dealt with the betrayer on the spot.
Now everyone quietly enjoys the internal benefits of the farm and no longer does things that harm others and defraud themselves.
The farm is now like a small base placed within the base.
Even the ladies living in the first-level resettlement areas cannot imagine how happy life is on the farm.
As for fruits and vegetables at all levels of the farm, they are still sold as usual.
Except for the price in the first-level resettlement area, which has increased several times, the other areas have remained unchanged.
Mu Jiu doesn't hate the rich, but he never cheats the poor.
What's more, in such a severe and extremely hot period, the rising costs must be compensated from the buyers.
Although everyone's life is not good, Mu Jiu's fruit and vegetable shop is still as popular as ever.
It only takes half an hour to set up the stall in the morning to sell out all the shares for the day.
The worst offenders have to be the land reclamation and planting teams led by the Su Alliance.
Leaders and bosses who originally wanted to make money by expanding the cultivated land area did not know that the investment costs were getting bigger and bigger.
In order to ensure adequate daily irrigation of the fields, it costs a lot just to dig wells.
But soon the bosses discovered a problem.
The field area is too large, and the well water is getting less and less. Compared with the violent evaporation rate under the sun in the field, that little water is really nothing.
So leaders and bosses began to use their smart minds to think of new ways out.
