Chapter 626 (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Some things are expected. That report was a temptation and also a test.
It is the human heart that is tested.
The test is the future.
What effect will that report have?
Along the way, Li Yi'an would occasionally have such thoughts in his mind while looking at the smiling woman beside him.
Will that report make Russia set its sights on Africa?
Li Yi'an didn't know. After all, the current leader of Soviet Russia is a loving father of steel. As for the "potatoes and beef" big corn cob, it didn't take long to regain the trust of his loving father, but he just squeezed into the core. It's just a layer. For the loving father of steel, it's not clear that he cares whether people can eat meat or not.
But, can Big Corn on the Cob see that report? What would he think when he saw the report?
He is still looking forward to this very much. It is not that he is looking forward to competing with Soviet Russia in Africa, but that he needs Soviet Russia to extend its hand.
Only after the Russians reach into Africa will those countries think that Russia poses a greater threat. In this case, they will ignore other countries, such as Nanyang. After all, compared to the Russians - Nanyang naturally becomes a cutie.
And he is also very innocent.
"Eating meat... can trip up a country! Of course, it can also make some countries do it at any cost."
Thinking about this in his heart, Li Yian raised the corner of his mouth, if it doesn't work this time , then wait a few years and try again.
In short, let them reach out to Africa no matter what, and use them to set off the loveliness of Nanyang.
Continuing his agricultural inspection around the island, he even made a special trip to the tribal area - not only enjoyed the tribal singing and dancing performances, but also watched how the tribesmen picked bird's nests - the entire island of Borneo is not only a bird's nest producing area, but also a bird's nest producing area. Morning bird's nest is white in color and slightly larger in shape. At the same time, because the production area is full of forests and rich in resources, the silk production of bird's nest is high. High-quality Borneo bird's nests have always been popular in the market.
"The bird's nest porridge we drank before was...swallow's saliva!"
After leaving the bird's nest picking place, Anna's face was still full of surprise.
“It’s not an ordinary swallow, it’s a swiftlet. This kind of swiftlet is unique to Southeast Asia. Bird’s nests are not only rare, but also rich in nutrients, so they are very precious. Since Zheng He’s voyages to the West in the 15th century, bird’s nests were introduced Since the Central Plains, it has been a royal delicacy."
Li Yi'an specifically emphasized "royal use" because Nanyang is the largest producer of bird's nests in the world, so he doesn't mind telling the story of bird's nests around the world. , the simplest factor why French food has become synonymous with "high-end" is that it can tell stories.
From "royal royal" to "official swallow", from the taste to the nutrition, after talking about it, Li Yian said again.
“Now our technicians have studied artificial breeding technology, and the collection of cave swallows has gradually been replaced by “house swallows”. Not only that, we have also promoted the artificial cultivation of bird’s nests to the three eastern districts, and promoted it among the indigenous tribes. Breeding and harvesting bird's nests to increase their income level. "
In fact, Li Yi'an doesn't care much about the life of the tribe. The purpose of demarcating the protected area is not to protect the interests of the tribe, but to maintain some primitiveness. The scenery allows Nanyang people to feel the tribal customs. Of course, their economic level can also be appropriately improved, and picking bird's nests is just one of them.
When hearing the words "increase income level" again, Anna said.
“You seem to be very concerned about whether people’s income levels can increase.”
As a leader, shouldn't he be more concerned about military matters, such as tanks and aircraft? Why is he more concerned about this issue?
“Because this is the first priority. We promise to give everyone a better life. Where does this life come from? Isn’t it obtained by increasing the income level? If the people’s income and life If the level cannot be improved, then all the construction is empty talk, and it will never... Let the people suffer first!"
Looking at the thoughtful woman beside him, Li Yian did not Didn't go on.
I will bear the infamy and let the common people suffer first.
It sounds easy to say that, but why should we make the people suffer? Isn’t the purpose of construction itself so that everyone can live a better life?
Of course, Li Yian didn't know what kind of waves these seemingly simple words would cause in Anna's heart. At this time, she was looking out the car window, looking at this strange land, and occasionally she would His eyes turned to Li Yi'an - this man was strange and different.
Even the things he cared about were different. She clearly remembered that during the famine after the war, no one cared about what they ate. The only reason the leaders cared about food production was to turn in How many. In addition, what they care about is steel, coal and other such things. As for the lives of ordinary people, who will care?
Just like this, the two people with different thoughts continued to drive. Li Yian did not know that behind him, Ambassador Kirk was chasing him with difficulty. However, the two people missed it again. When Ambassador Kirk chased him to the farm, Li Yi'an had already gone straight to Kuching.
However, we did not go to Kuching city, but went boating on the Rajang River - there are also baiji dolphins here. These baiji dolphins were transported from the Yangtze River under his instruction, and Before that, it even took two years to clean up the crocodiles in the river. Those crocodiles that can reach a length of more than six meters are definitely the strongest predators in the rivers of Borneo. Therefore, they need to be cleared to prevent endemic animals, including Baiji dolphins, from becoming food for local crocodiles.
“That’s the Baiji dolphin!”
Suddenly Anna pointed at a white dorsal fin not far away. Li Yian stood up directly, walked to the edge of the fence, and looked at the snow-white back on the water. There were two big and three small ones. It even jumped out of the water on purpose. After several years of breeding, a variety of Yangtze River-specific creatures including Baiji dolphin, paddlefish, anchovy, Acipenser dabricus, finless porpoise and alligator are now found in the Rajang River, Capuas River and Mahakam River. , Rajang River and other rivers, they have thrived here.
Just like tens of millions of Tangshan people, they are destined to integrate into this land. Of course, many things will change as they integrate into this land. For example, they will become the new owners of this land.
This is not a big deal, after all, the world itself is about survival of the fittest. It is full of all kinds of unfairness.
Actually, this is not unfair, but it is just a basic law of nature.
"Maybe Anna can still bring some good luck..."
Li Yian couldn't help but muttered. During the last inspection around the island, he also visited several large rivers many times, but he didn't Naturally, I was a little disappointed when I saw the Baiji dolphin. At this time, seeing these Baiji dolphins, Li Yian couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
In the past few years, like an animal predator, he sent an "expedition team" to Tangshan and brought back a large number of precious and unique wild animals. Unlike many animals, in later generations, The Baiji dolphin, known as the goddess of the Yangtze River, is indeed extinct!
Now, it is surviving well in the big rivers of Southeast Asia. In the Rajang River alone, there are as many as 60 Baiji dolphins living here. They have reproduced a population here. This is taking root.
Looking at the Baiji dolphins leaping on the river, Li Yian smiled, but the corners of his eyes were also a little wet. After all, it was extinct in the era he lived in. Now it is naturally difficult to calm down when seeing this kind of creature, and what is even more difficult to calm down is a certain impulse in his heart.
It’s not just about saving a species. It is a more profound impulse. Their departure now may be for a better return in the future.
Just here, Anna glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw something that seemed to be liquid slipping from the corner of the man's eye.
This discovery shocked Anna. She had never thought that this man would have such a sensitive side.
When the Baiji dolphin disappeared from the water, Li Yian rolled his eyes and his tears disappeared.
"李,"
Anna withdrew her eyes from the river,
"It seems that you really like animals."
"Oh, yes!"
Li Yian both He didn't admit or deny it, but said with a smile.
“I am an animal activist.”
There is no doubt about this, after all, he has introduced many animals from Tangshan in the past few years. Those animals have been fully protected in Nanyang, and even animals such as Javan rhinos, pangolins and Asian elephants have been sent to Nanyang, where they have been protected to a great extent.
From the perspective of animal protection, Li Yian is still definitely the most successful animal protector in this era.
"We humans should live in peace with animals and provide certain protection to wild animals."
His answer stunned Anna, and she didn't even react for a while.
But her eyes were still fixed on the huge warning sign next to the river bank - "Crocodile crocodiles are dangerous, please report them for killing immediately if you find them."
That’s it… or an animal rights activist?
Then he said in a joking tone.
“This is how you protect animals?”
“You don’t understand!”
Li Yian shook his head and said.
"Killing the crocodile is to protect people's lives. In the past, hundreds of crocodile attacks occurred here every year, and many people died in the mouths of this ferocious crocodile every year, but now there are only dozens. I will not sacrifice the safety of humans for the safety of animals!”
Protection is also classified!
Of course it is impossible to protect animals that pose a direct threat to humans.
"And crocodiles... are also a traditional industry of Nanyang. We must respect the tradition!"
