Chapter 724 The legacy of Fukuzawa’s descendants

Compared with previous years, Mu Shanhe often took his wife and children to Fenglin Villa, which is located in the deep mountains and dense forests. Nowadays, because the children have to go to school, Mu Shanhe will not let his children take leave unless there are special circumstances, and will always stay with them on the farm.

After returning from abroad this time, his life seems to be unchanged. But the evaluation and attention given to him by the outside world have undoubtedly risen to a higher level than before. Even in China, the same is true for those who know his situation.

For many people who are eligible to vacation on the farm, the days when Mu Shanhe is on the farm are completely different from the days without him. Even if he doesn't do much on the farm, the atmosphere will be different when he is there.

Cousins ​​or cousins ​​in other places, including those from the Liu family, would often call to keep in touch. The younger children are even clamoring to spend their winter vacation this year at the farm.

Listening to the shouting of these juniors who called uncle, uncle or even brother, Mu Shanhe could only say: "Okay, I'll come over when you guys have vacation. I'll prepare delicious food and wait for you to come over, okay?"

Mu Shanhe is also very patient when dealing with the younger members of the family. Because of this, the juniors also love this elder. Even though the two sons of the second uncle's family may be a little arrogant in front of their parents, they are as good as anything in front of him.

Even though they knew that this 'cousin' was scary, the two guys still liked to stick to him. The reason may be that Mu Shanhe's unique charm makes these juniors and juniors willing to get close to him!

After returning to family life, Mu Shanhe, in addition to taking care of the family's food and daily life, Xu Qin and Zhou Huimin also occasionally go out for a period of time. Regarding their departure, Mu Shanhe never said much.

They will only be told to pay attention to their health and safety when working outside. Regarding the three women around him, Mu Shanhe never thought that they had to stay at home to raise their husbands and children. Instead, he was willing to let them pursue what they wanted.

It's a pity that when they stay with Mu Shanhe, when they deal with some things, they also like to leave things to the people they trust. And what they have to do is to directly control the situation online like Mu Shanhe.

As the most precious and well-known medicinal material in the Changbai Mountains, the current market price of wild ginseng has naturally been rising. In the early years, I felt that Mushanhe spent so much money to contract these deforestations, which seemed to be a waste of money and land.

Especially the transplanted wild ginseng, some of which are now more than 20 years old. Although this vintage is not considered high, in today’s Changbai Forest Area, pure wild ginseng of this vintage is considered a rare and good ginseng.

Seeing that ginseng seedlings were growing in some places where ginseng had not been transplanted, Mu Shanhe said happily: "If we wait a few more years, the number of wild ginseng trees in the forest area will surely increase!" "

When he has nothing to do, one of Mu Shanhe's favorite things to do is to inspect his contracted forest. After so much careful cultivation and care, today's contracted forest has become lush and green, and medicinal materials in the forest can be seen everywhere.

Until now, people who have the opportunity to enter the contracted forest are envious when they see the surviving wild ginseng. What makes the town residents most happy is the forest area in their town, which seems to be the best protected at present.

Compared with the surrounding towns, although they have also implemented the so-called mountain closure for afforestation. But the forests that were cut down in the town's early years still look sparse and unforested. But here in Xianqiao Town, the situation is completely different.

It is said that good mountains and good water are good for health. For people living in the town and surrounding villages, they can clearly feel that the air quality in the town is better than that in other towns. Especially for those farmers who have switched to rice cultivation, although the quality of the rice they grow is not as good as that of Matiling Farm. But at present, the rice in Xianqiao Town is planted and harvested uniformly, and finally packaged for sale or export.

Xianqiao Rice is one of the few brands in the town that has a strong reputation. In the past, there were investors who planned to sign an agreement with the town and pay high rents to contract the rice fields in the hearts of the people.

The result was obvious. Mu Shanhe directly refused such an approach. He said bluntly to the people in the town: "If we want to contract, why should we give it to outsiders? Can't we just do this kind of good thing ourselves?"

At Mu Shanhe's suggestion, the town directly replaced the so-called investment contractors and was responsible for managing and supervising the rice planting in each village. According to Mushanhe's recommendations and requirements, chemical fertilizers will not be used in rice cultivation in Xianqiao Town.

Even if we are afraid of pesticides, we will use pollution-free chemicals specially designed for Matiling Farm. The rice grown in this way is sent to the most stringent laboratories abroad, and no chemical or drug residues can be detected.

The yield may be lower, but the unit price of rice has increased. In this way, the income of farmers will naturally increase. All in all, it is not that difficult for outsiders to contract land in Xianqiao Town.

In fact, a few years ago, the felled forests contracted by Mushanhe had been rated as a national natural ecological reserve. Every year, some inspection and research teams come here to conduct inspections and research.

If they hadn't known about Mu Shanhe's identity, these institutions might have thought of setting up observation points and research laboratories here. Some people have even thought about contracting these forests before, but the consequences are self-evident.

Although Mu Shanhe has never thought about making money by felling timber from contracted forests. But since these contracted forests are already under his name, others must obtain his consent before they can get every plant and tree in the mountains.

As for the abundant animal populations in the contracted forest, you can observe them, but if you want to poach them, the end will definitely not be as miserable as usual. Just the honey that settles in the contract forest will make it impossible for poachers to come back.

And Mu Shanhe brings his children to the mountains to harvest honey every year. The honey harvested by oneself also becomes a good gift. People who are not very close to Mu Shanhe may not be able to taste the taste of these bees.

"It is said that if you rely on the mountain, you will eat the mountain. Now, the potential value of the contracted forest is probably beyond the imagination of many people. As long as your children and grandchildren do not ruin the family, the things in the contracted forest alone will be enough to bless generations."

Rather than leaving money to future generations, Mu Shanhe felt that it might be more meaningful to leave such a legacy for them to inherit. Although I don’t know what my grandchildren will be like in the future, at least my children are very good and outstanding.

This also means that when the children come of age, Mu Shanhe may truly be able to live a retired and secluded life ahead of schedule. And for most of his time in the future, he should stay in the mountains and truly be neighbors with these mountains!
