Chapter 147 Preliminary Transformation of the Gobi Desert
Life in Jintan Village is on the right track, and everyone is looking forward to a new life in the coming year, but with the attack of a sandstorm, everyone's hearts are clouded.

Sand and stones carried by the strong wind passed Jintan Village non-stop. Everyone was worried and hid at home. They couldn't help worrying whether the grain would be lost due to the sandstorm in the coming year.

Of course Zhao Shucheng also had such worries, but he knew that in order to solve this problem, he could only find a way to transform the Gobi Desert and build a windbreak.

But now I have limited capital, so I can only wait for my third pot of gold before I can do it.

Although everyone was a little panicked, when they saw the standing water tower and the brick house of Zhao Shucheng located at the head of the village, the villagers did not flinch and wanted to earn their own brick houses here. .

Ma Defu also began to talk to the villagers about the benefits of planting trees, but most of the villagers had no foresight, and only thought that if they could earn money earlier to repair the house, it would be a good thing.

The only person in the village who is more enthusiastic about planting trees is Shuiwang's grandfather. He believes in Ma Defu's words and believes that if you want to plant land in this place, you need to plant trees.When these saplings grow up, they can become a natural protective forest, which can protect all the villagers and farmers in Jintan Village.

Zhao Shucheng has not continued to write books these days. He now has enough money to live a good life in Jintan Village. His only goal now is to help the people in the village live a better life.

In the morning, he accidentally saw the scene of Master Shuiwang going outside to plant trees, and felt that he should do something too.

There are two keys to planting trees now, one is the saplings, and the other is the water source.There is no shortage of water here. As long as there is still water in the well for a day, there is no need to worry about the water source for watering trees.

The only problem now is the saplings. Master Shuiwang doesn't know how to build a shelterbelt, but he just thinks that poplar is the best tree species for a shelterbelt.What he doesn't know is that a single tree species is likely to face pests and diseases and eventually be destroyed.

Of course, there is not a single tree around Jintan Village, so it would be considered good to be able to plant poplars.

From this day on, Zhao Shucheng helped Lord Shuiwang plant trees. Zhao Shucheng dug a hole and Lord Shuiwang planted trees. The two worked together and planted a lot of saplings in a short period of time.

Master Shuiwang asked curiously: "Yongfu, why are you planting trees with me, an old man, instead of working to earn money?"

"Grandpa, I don't need to work to earn money now. I can earn money just by writing novels. I have nothing to do during the day to plant trees with you. Let our farmer be protected as soon as possible."

"Yes, it is indeed to protect the farmer. This year, our land here will be reclaimed. With the well drilled by your boy, there must be no shortage of water and a good harvest."

"That's for sure, but old man, I think building a shelterbelt definitely requires expert advice to see if planting trees like this is feasible. After all, we don't know what kind of tree species to plant in the Gobi Desert."

Master Shuiwang didn't expect Zhao Shucheng to say this, and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong with this, when I built the shelter forest, I went to help, and I planted this kind of poplar."

"This poplar tree is good, easy to plant, grows fast, and can reproduce asexually, so there is no need for special seedlings! If you plant other tree species, it will grow slowly and difficult to wait for, and you have to go outside to buy tree species. My old man can Without so much money, there are not many saplings at all. As long as the poplar is planted and alive, you can just break the branches and insert it into the ground to make it alive."

Zhao Shucheng didn't tell Master Shuiwang about protection against forest diseases and insect pests. After all, he is just an ordinary farmer now. No matter how much he said, no one would believe him. Only when the time comes can someone believe it. After all, people in China are superstitious about scholars .

The two chatted and planted today's saplings, and returned directly to Jintan Village.Lord Shuiwang still wanted to water the ground by himself, but Zhao Shucheng stopped him.

"Master Shuiwang, do you still use you to water when I'm here? I'll go by bicycle, it's faster."

Said that he was riding a bicycle with two buckets of water and went to water the saplings.

Master Shuiwang saw Zhao Shucheng's disappearing figure, and said with a sigh: "Shuihua really found a good partner and fell into Fuwowo."

He didn't stay idle either, he went directly to the water tower to borrow a bucket of water, and started watering the trees from the water tower, and finally met Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't say anything when he saw Master Shuiwang like this, so he just took the bucket and poured it all into the nearby saplings, and then brought Master Shuiwang back to Jintan Village.

Master Shuiwang said happily: "Yongfu, you are a good baby. Once this well is opened, not to mention anything else, it is a matter of great merit just to save everyone from going several miles away to fetch water. I have to say something about you It’s really well done, and it takes a long-term view of things, and it’s kind and righteous.”

"Master Shuiwang, look at what you said. When we came here, we slept in a burrow, and it was not because of the help of the villagers that we could live in the house. We are not only neighbors, but also close relatives. We must take care of each other .”

"After the conditions in our village are better next year, we can mobilize everyone to help with tree planting. Then the windbreak forest will be built earlier, and we will no longer have to worry about the problem of wind and sand."

"I hope so."

Master Shuiwang didn't have much confidence in this, after all, in his view, the people in the village were very poor, and they didn't have the capital to leave their work and farm work to plant trees.What he thinks now is that if he can grow the next moment tree, he can give the village more protection in the future.

As time went by, the villagers began to work on the farmland. The first thing they did was to build a canal in their own land to facilitate the irrigation of the farmland with water from the well.

On New Year's Day in 1992, Zhao Shucheng looked at Li Shuihua, who had gone through the three-month dangerous period, and said, "Shuihua, I'm going on a business trip to Shanghai, will you come with me?"

Li Shuihua asked curiously: "What are you going to do? Is there any problem with book publishing?"

"That's not true. I learned from newspapers in the county that there are more opportunities to make a fortune in Shanghai. Last year, the stock market started trading. You don't know, many people just buy stocks and become millionaires. I think our family is considered rich, so we must try the water."

Li Shuihua asked worriedly: "The stock market is really making money like this, so there won't be any risk?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is definitely no risk. Let's investigate first after we go there, and we will do it after we understand it. Besides, since you married me, you have come directly to this Gobi Desert. I want to take you out to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and gain a lot of experience."

"That's fine, I'll go with you."

Shuihua was a little worried, and felt that following Zhao Shucheng was the best choice.

Zhao Shucheng didn't have any objection to this, anyway, he went there to speculate in stocks, and when the time came, he would sell it and come back with the money.

The two people who had never been out of the province just took a car to the train station, and then took the train to Shanghai.

Li Shuihua looked at the high-rise buildings in Shanghai, as well as the fashionable clothes worn by the girls on the street, and suddenly felt that he was a bit helpless.

Zhao Shucheng had already prepared for this, and took Li Shuihua directly to the department store to buy clothes, and let her walk out of the shopping mall in new clothes, and then took her to taste various snacks in Shanghai and browse the scenery on the streets of Shanghai.

"Yongfu, this place is really good. Do you think our place can develop like this?"

Zhao Shucheng thought for a moment and said: "It's really hard to say. If we let us develop ourselves, it will take a long, long time. But high-rise buildings are definitely not a problem. As long as we have enough time, we can also live upstairs and downstairs, with electric lights and telephones. day."

Zhao Shucheng took Li Shuihua to live in a hotel near the stock exchange market, and took Li Shuihua to observe the stock market during the day, and inquired about stock subscription certificates by the way.

It is now January 2th, and the stock subscription certificates have been officially issued, but because the sale was only for residents with Shanghai ID cards at the beginning, only 30 million subscription certificates were sold at 10 yuan each.However, due to a wrong estimate in the trading market, they directly printed [-] million copies, and the remaining stock subscription certificates directly became a hot potato.

Zhao Shucheng didn't come to Shanghai just to speculate in stocks, but to speculate in subscription certificates.It's only 30 yuan a piece now, and by the end of May, the subscription certificate has directly reached [-] yuan.There are even tens of thousands of transactions.

Zhao Shucheng is not greedy, he is just going to buy a subscription certificate with all his 200,000 manuscript fees, and when he gets [-] quick cash, he will cash out and leave.

As for whether the 3000 yuan will be thrown into the hands of the person who turned the hand, or all will be cashed out, it is not something that I can know.

Of course, there is definitely no way to buy a subscription certificate now. Only after a few days will the city allow outsiders to buy a subscription certificate.

Zhao Shucheng did not choose to purchase subscription certificates and sell them himself. Instead, he found a local accounting firm, which can be said to be the earliest in this era, and its reputation is still somewhat guaranteed.

After Zhao Shucheng clarified his requirements with the person in charge of the transaction, he took Li Shuihua to travel in Shanghai, and in the later stage, he went directly to the surrounding cities, not caring about the price fluctuation of the subscription certificate.

It was not until March that Zhao Shucheng learned from the clerk that all the subscription certificates had been sold, so Zhao Shucheng took his passbook and left Shanghai, leaving behind only the legend of a generation of stock gods.

It was only when I returned to Jintan Village that I discovered that most of the farmlands of capable families were more or less planted with food, most of which were corn, and a small part were spring wheat.There is water in the machine well, and they are willing to water the seeds so that the seeds can germinate better.

Although the villagers did not help Lord Shuiwang plant trees, they all knew that these books were closely related to the future of themselves and others.So when they watered the ground, they all consciously watered the saplings in their fields, hoping that the saplings would grow vigorously.

Although Zhao Shucheng’s land did not pick up the sand and gravel on the Gobi Desert like other people’s land, and carefully sifted it through a sieve, but he also sifted it with a tractor, and it did not affect the normal growth of corn and wheat. .

In fact, Zhao Shucheng doesn't want to grow wheat and corn at all, after all, the added value of these things is not high.It's a pity that he was traveling with Li Shuihua in Shanghai at that time, and the land at home was planted with the help of his uncle. He was afraid of being hungry and poor, so he had to make the six acres of land full of grain so that Zhao Shucheng's family could eat Endless food.

Zhao Shucheng didn't have any opinion on this, but he would like to thank his uncle for his help, otherwise his land would have been abandoned for a year.
