Chapter 341 Adjustment of the Sand Sea
"Hey...it seems to be a coincidence. This season just happened to catch up. The first batch of Cistanche deserticola this year should have entered the peak production period." Guo Yang also reacted.
Lu Hanbin smiled and said: "I am referring to the company's new variety of Cistanche deserticola."
"Isn't it only two and a half years ago?" Guo Yang estimated and said: "The fastest according to time It’s also the second half of the year.”
“What happened to two and a half years?”
"It takes two and a half years to produce a group of top students!"
"The main reason is that the effect of this batch of Cistanche deserticola is extraordinary! The laboratory is already studying its specific effects."
Lu Hanbin kept repeating said.
Guo Yang also confirmed that these parasitic Cistanche deserticola were the seeds he originally cultivated.
In a conventional sense, the seeds do need to be parasitic on Haloxylon ammodendron for three years before they can be harvested, but the two and a half years is not much different. It is normal to dig out a small amount.
Guo Yang said: "Then let's go have a look in the desert and familiarize ourselves with the route. The leader will come at some time."
Others don't know which leader is coming, but they can The level that the boss takes seriously cannot be too small.
It’s still the same road in the desert, and little buds have sprouted on the Haloxylon ammodendron trees.
It took two or three hours to drive.
As far as the eye can see, patches of tamarisk, Haloxylon ammodendron, caragana and other vegetation are like a densely woven green "scarf", blocking the sandy area that is about to move...
The situation is good.
Exceeded expectations.
The convoy arrived at Yabulai Town under the Yabulai Mountains. To the north of the town is the Badain Jaran Desert.
To the west of the town, there is a gap in the Yabulai Mountains. The wind and sand northwest of Minqin are mainly blown out from here.
This is also the focus of Shahai in the past two years.
The desert control area is busy.
On the rolling sand dunes, layers of terraced flat land have been developed along with the slope. On the slope at the edge of the flat land, sand control workers are leaning over to set up grass grid sand barriers.
The ecological barrier protecting the southeastern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert will gradually fill the gap of the last tens of kilometers.
“After several years of exploration, we have found that the cost of terraced sand control will be greatly reduced and the efficiency will be faster.”
“In the past, leveling a sand dune of about 20 meters was very time consuming. It takes at least 20 days and costs tens of thousands of yuan per mu. However, after adopting "terraced field" sand control, the cost is reduced to 1,800 yuan per mu, and the time can be reduced by two-thirds."
"The one million acres of desert acquired in April 2006 is the last difficulty that needs to be overcome..."
"The first batch of 50,000 acres of Haloxylon ammodendron forest inoculated with Cistanche deserticola, this year's average income should be It can increase to 2,000 yuan, and the income from the second batch of 100,000 acres of inoculation can be close to 1,000 yuan.”
“In addition, we have developed caragana, sea buckthorn, kenaf, livestock, seeds, etc. It’s not profitable to grow processed products, but the revenue figures are up.”
Along the way, Lu Hanbin introduced the situation of Shahai passionately.
This is a detail that cannot be reflected in the 450 million revenue in the financial statements.
Even when Guo Yang saw the report for the first time, he was still confused. Didn't Shahai only have sales figures of 60 to 70 million in the past two years.
Now at first glance, it looks pretty good.
In addition to Cistanche deserticola, Shahai has also carried out many experiments in animal husbandry.
For example, Caragana can not only control desertification, but it is also a high-quality feed. Among the newly acquired 1 million acres of desert, at least more than 200,000 acres of Caragana are planted.
It can produce and process more than 3,000 tons of caragana pellet feed and 2,000 lambs for slaughter every year.
And as time goes by, this data will double.
In addition to being used as feed, Caragana can also be used as a raw material for biomass power generation, but it is not yet considered to develop in this area.
In addition, seeds and seedlings are also a major source of income for Shahai.
The Three-North Shelterbelt Forest has been in full swing in recent years, which has also led to the development of industries related to desertification prevention and control.
After four or five years of development and maintenance, Shahai's psoma botanical garden, solar greenhouse nursery, open-air nursery, and Haloxylon ammodendron and other shrub and grass protection forests have formed a potential large-area seed collection base.
Haloxylon ammodendron, Astragalus membranaceus, Caragana caragana, Jujube, white thorn, sea buckthorn, kenaf...the varieties are becoming more and more abundant.
Although losses are increasing, Shahai’s green economic blueprint has gradually begun.
In two years, the final planting of this million acres of desert will be completed.
Although the speed is not fast, judging from the scenes along the road, the survival rate of tree species is very high, and the mixed grass seeds sown by flying are also growing tenaciously.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "How many years do you think it will take to complete the blocked connection from Minqin to Jinta?"
Lu Hanbin was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "Ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime, I can finally complete him."
Guo Yang didn't expect that the time had become longer. He still remembered the last time Lu Hanbin has applied to go to the Kumtag Desert!
So he asked directly.
Lu Hanbin hesitated for a moment and said: "Since I learned about the West Lake Wetland and National Desert Park projects, I made a special trip to the southern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert."
"After I came back, I ran again. When I visited Minqin and Alxa, I thought it was too simple before.”
"The entire Badain Jaran Minqin extension belt is estimated to have 8 to 13 million acres of windy sand belt, which is divided into three strips. However, the sand sea currently only occupies more than 1 million acres."
"Going further to the Yabulai Mountains In the west, that is, the Linze-Jinta extension zone, the area of desert grassland and desert is several times that of Minqin.”
“If Minqin wants to connect the Jinta, the entire area will not be smaller than the National Desert Park. . ”
From the map, it feels really close.
After listening to Lu Hanbin's description for a while, Guo Yang knew that the actual area and scope were beyond people's imagination.
"You still have to have dreams, just in case they come true."
Jiahe has never had the idea of wiping out the desert. It has always been about governance, defense, and protection...
But even so, only Relying on the power of enterprises will not work either.
Lu Hanbin smiled and said: "This trip is not without gain. There is a large area on the southern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert where alfalfa can be developed."
Guo Yang's eyes lit up.
"Tell me about it."
"In Shandan, Linze, and the northern part of Gaotai in Zhangye, that is, on the southern edge of the desert, planting alfalfa to prevent desertification is very effective."
Linze, Gaotai, Ganzhou... these areas are all major seed production counties.
With the changes in national policies, local governments are also responding to the planting of high-quality forage. There should be many herdsmen in that area switching to alfalfa.
“Perhaps we should give full play to the enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people.” Guo Yang said: “Shahai mostly focuses on studying how to control desertification, and develop industries to extend industrial profits.”
Lu Hanbin thoughtfully said, "If we want to control desertification in a large area, this should be the best way."
Guo Yang said: "Let's go back first. It will get dark soon. I won't be able to find you later." To the road."
Lu Hanbin said with a smile: "I can drive back with my eyes closed."
"How about you try with your eyes closed?"
"..."
It took another two or three hours to go back. By the time we arrived at the project department, it was pitch dark, and the only starlight had lost its color in the cold wind.
However, several bonfires have been lit in the yard. There are wooden tables beside the bonfires and people are standing around them.
Guo Yang saw what was on the grill clearly at a glance, "Roast mutton, I heard that Minqin's roast mutton is excellent!"
Those who stayed behind in the project department started shouting. Say hello.
“Boss, Mr. Lu.”
"I'm just waiting for you."
"My saliva will come out when I smell this smell."
Guo Yang and Lu Hanbin came to a wooden table in the middle, and Zhuang was waiting aside. Then he poured wine for several people.
Zhuang Zheng smiled and said: "This is the cistanche deserticola wine brewed last year. It has been buried in the underground cellar for more than a year, just waiting for the boss to come."
"Then I need a drink."
In fact, Guo Yang was a little tired of eating mutton in the past two days, but he also became interested in this simple environment.
Minqin mutton mainly eats alkaline water and alkaline grass, and uses lambs with fresh and tender meat, which also tastes unique.
A couple of sips of wine and cistanche porridge will dispel the chill in your body.
Zhuang Zhenglai toasted with a glass of wine, "Boss, Happy Farm plans to plant 100 million trees this year!"
Guo Yang subconsciously estimated based on area, planting 50 trees per acre. A Haloxylon ammodendron tree means 2 million acres of public welfare forest.
"Can it be planted completely?"
"No problem." Zhuang Zheng was a little excited, "Public welfare forest is different from sand control. It is not that difficult and the locations can be dispersed, making it easier to find workers."
The daily activity of Happy Farm is not comparable to Alipay at its peak, but it is not much different.
Today’s income can reach 40 to 50 million per month, which can basically cover the cost of planting.
Guo Yang said: "Have you chosen the location?"
"It's settled." Zhuang Zheng said: "Basically, they are all in the Hexi Corridor, mainly around Minqin."
After chatting for a while about Happy Farm, Guo Yang thought that he should take some time to give Pony Ma a call. Telephone.
Thinking of Mr. Ma, he thought of Ding Lei. Guo Yang suddenly touched Lu Hanbin, who was enjoying a meal next to him.
"Han Bin, is it possible to raise wild boars in Minqin?"
Lu Hanbin thought for a moment and said: "Absolutely, alfalfa, caragana, etc. can be used to feed pigs. This Another way to get rich.”
"Okay, that's it. Let's enclosure the land first and bring in the piglets."
Lu Hanbin didn't expect the boss to make the decision so quickly, but since cattle and sheep can be grazed, wild boars can also be grazed.
"How many to raise?"
"The annual slaughter volume is set at 1 million?"
"..."
Lu Hanbin said: "Is it too much?"
"Is it too much?" Guo Yang used the listed pig companies of later generations as a reference. Basically, each of them has an annual slaughter volume of tens of millions of pigs.
“Mainly because I have no experience.”
“Then we will do it in installments, 30,000 head for the slaughter in three years, 100,000 head after four years, and 500,000 head after five years?”
“You can try it.” Lu Hanbin thought for a while, “If the results are good in the first two years, we can target 1 million heads.”
"Okay."
Zhang Jing and Zhuang Zheng looked at each other in confusion. In less than a minute, they made such a grand plan?
While chatting, it was late at night, and Guo Yang didn't know when he would return to the hotel.
The next day, Guo Yang was still familiar with the situation in Shahai.
That is to say, in the afternoon, I received another notice from the above. The big leader will go to the immigration area and then to Qingtu Lake tomorrow morning.
It’s still an uncertain time.
Guo Yang had people make preparations in advance. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. Today, Qingtu Lake is mainly under the jurisdiction of Jiahe, and whoever sees the results will be satisfied.
Another day passed, Guo Yang arrived at the Jiazitan Immigration Area early.
This is the immigration settlement closest to Qingtu Lake and the desert, with a total of more than 400 households.
About nine-thirty in the morning.
Rows of solemn motorcades arrived at Jiazitan Community, and Guo Yang saw a familiar figure from a distance. But he didn't come forward.
Of course there are people from the county committee and the municipal committee making arrangements here, and all preparations have been made for the arrival of the leaders.
Guo Yang has already understood in advance that the county committee did not make too many arrangements this time because the situation in the community is already very good.
Relying on solar greenhouses and working in agriculture and animal husbandry in Shahai, residents’ lives have already become prosperous.
A practical demonstration is more likely to win the favor of the leader.
At ten o'clock, the convoy moved forward again.
Guo Yang also got into the leader's car at some point. As soon as he got in, he heard laughter coming from the back seat.
"Jiahe has done very well in the past two years. I just heard a lot of people's voices."
Guo Yang smiled and said: "There are still many areas that need improvement."< br>
"The Hongyashan Reservoir has undergone great changes. There are abundant water plants and flocks of migratory birds. The people in the immigration area are also very prosperous. I asked several companies and the per capita annual income is over 10,000."
The leader smiled, " It’s all like this, how do you want to improve?”
Guo Yang said: “Then move towards higher income!”
“But Shahai doesn’t make money, right?”
Guo Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Last year, Shahai had a net loss of more than 3 billion. The pressure was indeed a bit high, and we don't dare to make such rapid progress in the future."
The leader was silent for a while.
A net loss of more than 3 billion is really shocking. The total investment in the comprehensive management plan of the Shiyang River Basin is only 5 billion.
Jiahe alone lost more than 3 billion yuan a year. Over the past five or six years, Jiahe has invested 4 to 5 billion yuan in Minqin.
“Where is the money spent?”
Guo Yang pondered: “The sand sea is not just a pure management or ecological protection like a public welfare forest, but also covers the establishment of industrial ecology. .”
“Shahai’s expected core income comes from the parasitic Cistanche deserticola, so every Haloxylon ammodendron and tamarisk plant planted have been carefully managed and protected.”
“After the Cistanche deserticola has been planted, it still needs to be processed The factory also has slicing and processing, as well as the development, production and marketing of health products and alcoholic beverages. ”
“In addition, Shahai has also established a research and development system for Cistanche deserticola.”
“ Quality resource conservation, efficient planting, mechanized equipment, new product development and application, health care function exploration, etc. "
"Currently, various research and development tasks have been started one after another."
At this time, the motorcade passed by a factory building, with two bright and eye-catching signs of Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry-Sand Industry R&D Center hanging on the roof.
Guo Yang said: "In addition to Cistanche deserticola, there are also sea buckthorn juice, kenaf tea, kenaf honey, wolfberry, licorice and other special economic plants in the sandy area."
"The other is animal husbandry. business, has established a modern mutton breeding farm, slaughtering line, quick-freezing warehouse, fresh-keeping warehouse, feed processing, organic fertilizer factory, and supporting forage base.”
Guo Yang paused and saw that the leader did not respond. Said: "In this year's plan, Shahai will also build a breeding farm with an annual output of 1 million wild boars."
The convoy has entered the road in the desert, and Haloxylon ammodendron spp. are sprouting on both sides of the road. Lively and powerful.
The leader sighed with emotion: "The industrial chain is very complete, including planting, processing, storage, transportation, and sales... The industrial chain is very long, and it has created a lot of jobs."
The leader sees the problem clearly, Guo Yang said : "It is also because of this that the non-agricultural population around Qingtu Lake and even the entire lower reaches of the county has increased rapidly."
"Correspondingly, the agricultural population has decreased, cultivated land has been greatly abandoned, and the water used in downstream agriculture has also been reduced to a minimum."< br>
“Only in this way can we truly achieve sustainable green development and achieve a win-win situation of preventing and controlling desertification and increasing production and income.”
The leader looked out the window, “I remember the last time I came here On the other side, there is still a deserted beach.”
"Yes, farmland was still abandoned at that time."
"This model is very good." The leader smiled and said: "I heard that Jiuquan is also conducting a fallow pilot project?"
"Yes, Hemin The working methods are slightly different, but the goal is to save water in the end.”
“That’s great!”
With the leader’s emotion, Qingtu Lake finally arrived.
The river is still the same river, and the water is still the same water.
But in the Tengger Desert, 10 square kilometers of water miraculously appeared, sparkling in the spring sunshine.
The leader looked at the water, thinking about the scene two years ago, and couldn't help laughing.
“We really did it.”
Guo Yang said in a strange way: “Actually, there is no Jiahe. As long as you want there to be water here, you can do it.”
"But the process will be completely different." The leader said sternly: "Shahai will pay the water fee for the second phase of Jingdian's water diversion, right?"
After getting out of the car, without saying a few words, the local representative also All here.
Guo Yang just nodded slightly.
As the sand sea becomes more prominent, it sometimes appears that local management is a little slow, but in fact the local government has also made efforts.
The leaders were paying attention and did not dare to go too far towards Sha Hai. After all, Guo Yang reported to the leaders separately both times.
The local people came and went. Without saying a few words, the leader ended the trip.
I was in a hurry, maybe I just stopped by to take a look.
Afterwards.
Tong Yunzheng, the leader of Wuwei, stood side by side with Guo Yang and said with deep meaning: "Mr. Guo, the leader has placed high hopes on Shahai!"
"It is also a loss to the city. support in the past two years.”
Tong Yunzheng said: "If Wuwei area implements fallow, does Mr. Guo think it is feasible?"
Guo Yang shook his head, "There is no problem in saving water, but Wuwei still needs to wait for the opportunity to implement fallow."
< br>Wuwei is not only a large agricultural city, but also a large population city;
Including districts and counties, Jiuquan not only has a population of 500,000 to 600,000 less, but its area of 192,000 square kilometers is 5.78 times that of Wuwei, which is 33,200.
The real land is vast and sparsely populated.
Moreover, the Jiuquan fallow pilot program is only in the Shule River Basin, while most of the cultivated land in Wuwei is in the Shiyang River Basin...
In terms of residents' income level, Jiuquan is also higher than Wuwei, so Wuwei has no basis for fallow.
There may be few cities in the country that are more suitable for large-area fallow pilot projects than Jiuquan.
Tong Yunzheng obviously understands this.
“There are still about 300,000 acres of desert in the Qingtu Lake area. Do you want to take the sand sea with us?”
Guo Yang still shook his head, "Why not let farmers or other small and medium-sized enterprises come?"
"The largest sandstorm outlets are in the hands of Shahai. These 300,000 acres are areas with low difficulty. Come The more companies there are, the bigger the sand industry will be, and the more jobs there will be, and the more likely it will be left fallow. "The leaders also mentioned the sand industry," Tong Yunzheng said.
At this time, a reporter holding a microphone came forward and said, "Mr. Guo, could you please make up for the interview."
Guo Yang noticed the words CCTV on the microphone and smiled. : "Let Mr. Lu Hanbin come over. He is more familiar with the sand industry than me."
Tong Yunzheng blinked in surprise.
Lu Hanbin on the side was also stunned for a moment before he realized that the boss didn't like to leave the country most of the time.
The reporter said: "That's fine."
After the reporter took Lu Hanbin away, Tong Yunzheng continued to ask: "Can the sand industry support the fallow land?"
< br>"No problem." Guo Yang said: "As long as it develops at the current pace, Minqin is likely to become the largest raw material base for Cistanche deserticola."
When he heard about the raw material base, Tong Yunzheng frowned unnaturally. Wuwei exported too many agricultural raw materials, causing the city's agricultural output value to be much higher than its industrial output value.
"Then why not build a planting base with Shahai?"
"There is not enough energy, and the sand industry is a complex project." Guo Yang pondered: "Or it is a knowledge-intensive industry . ”
“Next, Shahai’s focus will shift. First, explore the market potential of downstream products, move towards intensive processing, and increase added output value. ”
“Second, cultivate psoma plants. , research and development of propagation and conservation technology, scale and paradigm of artificial ecosystem construction, supporting machinery, etc., so that science and technology can empower the sand industry. ”
It feels a bit abstract, so Guo Yang gave an example.
“For example, Shahai and the Institute of Desertification Control have collaborated on a scientific research project: research on the groundwater recharge mechanism at the southern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert.”
Tong Yunzheng nodded thoughtfully.
Guo Yang was very suspicious that he didn't understand, because after Guo Yang read this topic, he only remembered one question.
Because just listening to the questions will make you feel very useful.
After chatting for a while, Lu Hanbin's interview ended, and Tong Yunzheng went again.
Guo Yang asked Lu Hanbin, "How did you say that?"
Lu Hanbin smiled and said: "If we raise the expected income a little bit, for example, if we inoculate Cistanche deserticola for desert control, we can recover it in one fell swoop in the third year. Cost, etc.”
“…”
When Tong Yunzheng finished the interview, it was still the same answer.
“I just hope to attract more companies.”
“Let’s hold an industry investment promotion meeting!” Guo Yang thought for a while and said, “If we make it bigger, we might be able to attract coal bosses to invest. ”
Tong Yunzheng’s eyes lit up.
Recently, the topic of coal bosses has been very popular. After all, there are not many people who have money but don’t know how to use it.
Prefectural and city-level leaders are gradually withdrawing.
The next time, Guo Yang went to the nursery. The nursery manager Li Qi had already prepared a portion of the newly collected psammophyte seeds.
Most of the new plants come from the southern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert.
There are as many as a dozen plant community combinations, but the tallest one is the Artemisia leucophylla + Overlord in the Overlord community, which is 75-90cm tall.
Guo Yang cultivated these two kinds of grass seeds a few years ago, and they are already producing them now.
Guo Yang said in confusion: "Feibo!"
Lu Hanbin said: "This is one of our sand plants."
"..."
Lu Hanbin: "Alxa has been aerially sowing seeds on the southeastern edge of the Tengger Desert for many years. There is a lot of demand. After I first bought the seeds from Shahai, I haven’t had any seeds since. It is said that the germination rate is quite good.”
Guo Yang asked: “Isn’t this Alfalfa seed?”
“Shahai has been breeding. Oh, there are also seeds produced by Lao Bao, so we sold them together.”
"..."
"Minqin is a seedling cultivation company. It grows well and can produce more than 100 kilograms of fresh grass per acre. Sheep like to eat flowers and a small amount of young branches and leaves."
Guo Yang couldn't tell whether this was good or bad for a moment.
Because the 1 million acres of Shahai are almost finished planting, there seems to be no land left for aerial seeding.
Would you like to take on more contracts?
Guo Yang and Sha Hai's team discussed for a while and both thought they could get some more land.
Because no one knows whether the leaders will be able to drive the development of related industries after they come this time.
Guo Yang also paid attention to the evening news, but there was no report on that day.
I waited until the next day to see the report about Minqin on Huaxia 1.
The first thing that comes into view is the sparkling Qingtu Lake.
