Chapter 2952 Yuejin Reservoir(1/2)
This time, the 16th Division applied for financial assistance because of the problems faced by Kunshan Farm.
The most amazing thing is this division commander Lou Zhanjiang. I don’t know where to find out about the relationship between Aijiang and Ye Yuze, so I just came to the door with a bag of red dates and cried.
A big man cried so hard that he burst into tears. Aijiang was already soft-hearted and was doing business again. Although Zhang Jianjiang kept winking at her, she decided to agree.
Ayijiang naturally knew that if he agreed to this matter, he would definitely settle it.
Not to mention Yang Geyong, Ye Yuze raised her more than her own father. How could he refuse her request?
Sure enough, after a call, Ye Yuze immediately agreed to go and check it out. This is to tell her, don’t worry.
However, the entire northern border is so big that it was so tired that the two of them were running from the north to the south. So after arriving in Kunshan County, they did not leave and went to bed in the hotel.
Kunshan County is located at the southernmost end of XJ Uygur Autonomous Region. It is a county under HT City. It is connected to MY County and Hotan County in the east, YC County in the west, India and Pakistan in the south, and MGT County and BC County in the north.
The county has the widest width of 5 kilometers from east to west, 423 kilometers from north to south, and a total area of 970,000 square kilometers.
Kunshan County has 6 towns and 10 townships. It is a border county with Uyghur as the main body, Han, Tajik, Kyrgyz and other 12 ethnic groups living in it. The border line is 5 kilometers long.
Kunshan County is one of the important towns of the ancient Silk Road. It was the Pishan Kingdom during the Western Han Dynasty. It was annexed by the Khotan Kingdom during the Eastern Han Dynasty and was later reinstated.
It was called Pixue Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was Pushan Kingdom during the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the eighth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Kunshan belonged to YC County and was affiliated to Shache Mansion in Kashgardao.
It was under the jurisdiction of Hotan Administrative Region in 1929. On December 25, 1949, the Chinese People's Liberation Army entered PS County. In March 1950, the Kunshan County People's Government was established.
The territory of the territory is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. The south is iceberg snow ridge, the middle is high mountains and river valleys, and the north is plains and Gobi desert.
It has a continental arid climate with sparse precipitation, large evaporation, dry air, average annual temperature of 8℃, average annual precipitation of 8mm, average annual evaporation of 9mm, 60 times the precipitation, and an average annual sandstorm weather of more than 240 days.
The five rivers in the county all originate from the Karakoram Mountains and are glacier snow-melting compensation rivers. The annual surface water runoff is 500 million cubic meters and the groundwater reserve is 500 million cubic meters.
Kunshan Farm is only 20 kilometers away from the county town. I should have lived there, but I didn’t know the situation there, so I stayed for one night and then went there tomorrow.
I slept very well this time. Two guys who liked food forgot to eat for the first time, and lie down and slept in darkness.
Ye Yuze and Aijiang slept until the sun was on the sky. When they woke up, they felt refreshed, but their stomachs started to growl. The two looked at each other and smiled, only then did they remember that they had not yet had a grain of rice from last night to now.
"Let's go, try these delicious foods from southern Xinjiang." Ye Yuze pulled Yang Geyong out of the hotel.
The streets of Kunshan County are very lively, with various stalls.
The aroma of the baked buns wafted from afar, the golden dough was roasted crispy, wrapped in tender lamb filling. After taking a bite, the meat smelled everywhere, and hot oil flowed down the corners of the mouth.
Yang Geyong was satisfied with his face. Ye Yuze looked at him and couldn't help laughing.
"What a pity, it's so delicious. It's a pity that there's no wine."
The two of them came to the place where the meat was sold in the naan pit. The fresh mutton sizzled oil under the high temperature of the naan pit, sprinkled with a handful of cumin and chili noodles, and the fragrance penetrated the nose.
Ye Yuze bought a few skewers and walked along the river with Yang Geyong.
"This taste is so authentic!" Ye Yuze praised.
Just as he was having a good time, Commander Lou Zhanjiang came over.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Yang, I have found you. How about it, these delicious foods in Kunshan County are still in line with the taste?"
"Master Lou, you're here just in time. This delicacy is so intoxicating." Ye Yuze said with a smile.
"Haha, that's it. When you finish eating, I'll take you to the farm to see it. You have to understand the situation of Yuejin Reservoir." Lou Zhanjiang looked enthusiastic.
The three of them ate perfect food and set off towards Kunshan Farm. Along the way, Lou Zhanjiang kept introducing the situation of the farm, and his words were full of concerns and expectations for the farm.
When they arrived at the farm, the employees gathered up enthusiastically, their eyes full of expectations.
Ye Yuze and Aijiang shook hands with them one by one, feeling their simplicity and sincerity.
"Mr. Ye, this Yuejin Reservoir is the lifeblood of the farm, but now it is in disrepair and needs renovation in urgent need of reform."
Lou Zhanjiang pointed to the reservoir in the distance and said.
Ye Yuze looked at the reservoir and had a preliminary idea in his mind.
"Master Lou, renovating a reservoir is not a small project, it requires detailed planning and sufficient funds. Let's talk about your budget and ideas first."
Lou Zhanjiang cleared his throat and began to talk endlessly, revealing his urgent need for funds in his words, as if he would say the higher the budget, the better.
Ye Yuze listened quietly, but was thinking in his heart. He knew that Lou Zhanjiang, the old fox, must have reserved something and wanted to get more funds.
"Mr. Lou, I understand what you said. But the funds are not a small amount, so we have to consider them carefully. I think this way, first find a professional team to do a detailed evaluation and plan, and then talk about the funds."
Ye Yuze said slowly.
When Lou Zhanjiang heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face, but soon he was filled with a smile.
"Mr. Ye is right, I'm too anxious."
On the farm, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong also experienced the traditional life of the Uyghur people.
They watched the employees learn to make naan bread, and Yang Geyong made it well and his face was covered with flour, which made everyone laugh.
In the evening, the farm prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, roasted whole lamb, hand-pickled rice, and various dairy products filled the table.
Everyone sat together, singing and dancing, and of course wine was indispensable. People next to Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong could drink more than the other.
Ye Yuze tasted delicious food and drank fine wine, and naturally understood the purpose of Teacher Lou, but he only had so much money, so he would not waste it:
"Teacher Lou, thank you for your hospitality today. I will do my best in the funding, but we also need to work together."
"Of course, Mr. Ye is worried. As long as there is funds, our farm employees will do their best." Lou Zhanjiang patted his chest and promised.
After the dinner, Ye Yuze and Jiuyi returned to their residence with a little drunkenness. The two lay on the bed and talked about the banquet just now.
"Old Yang, what do you think of Teacher Lou?" Ye Yuze asked.
"It's very good. The people here are very simple. Laolou didn't say that the food was delicious. It's the problem of this reservoir, and it must be solved as soon as possible." Yang Geyong said seriously.
"Well, I know. But don't underestimate Lou Zhanjiang, that's an old fox, but he is also for the farm. We have to work hard with him." Ye Yuze said thoughtfully.
In the next few days, Ye Yuze found a professional water conservancy team to evaluate Yuejin Reservoir. Lou Zhanjiang kept urging him, hoping to determine the funds as soon as possible.
"Mr. Ye, how long does it take to evaluate this? Our farm can't afford to wait." Lou Zhanjiang said anxiously.
"Master Lou, I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu. Professional matters must be handed over to professionals. After the evaluation results are released, we will be able to determine the renovation plan and funds." Ye Yuze explained patiently.
Finally, the evaluation results came out. The renovation of Yuejin Reservoir required considerable funds, but it was less than what Lou Zhanjiang said before. Ye Yuze found Lou Zhanjiang with a report.
"Master Lou, this is an assessment report. We can pay the funds for the reconstruction of the reservoir, but you also have to ensure that you use the money to the point of being able to develop the farm tangible." Ye Yuze said seriously.
Lou Zhanjiang took the report and looked carefully. "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will definitely live up to your trust."
The funding problem was solved, and the farm was filled with joy. The workers began to get busy and prepared to welcome the reservoir renovation project.
Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong also stayed on the farm for a few more days to help coordinate various affairs.
During this period, they tasted many Southern Xinjiang delicacies. The jar of mutton and tender mutton were stewed in a small jar, and the fragrant soup made people feel aftertaste.
There is also the sweet fig, and a bite of honey-like juice flows into your mouth.
"Lao Yang, after the reservoir is renovated, the farm will definitely change a lot. When we come back, we will definitely see more beautiful scenery and eat more delicious food." Ye Yuze said with a smile.
"Well, I'm looking forward to that day." Yang Geyong's eyes were full of longing.
On the day they left the farm, the employees came to see him off one after another. They held Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong's hand to express their gratitude.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Yang, thank you. When the farm develops well, you must come back often." An old employee said with tears in his eyes.
"I will definitely do it. Everyone will do it well and the future will get better and better." Ye Yuze said firmly.
Sitting in the car and looking at the farm that was gradually moving away, Ye Yuze felt a sense of accomplishment.
This trip to Kunshan not only tasted delicious food, but also solved the problems of the farm, and there was still a sense of accomplishment.
But naturally things won't end like this. The two decided to come back again after a walk around the area.
It’s not that I don’t believe in the employees of Kunshan Farm, but that I don’t believe in some people. The money is transferred to the farm account, and Ye Yuze and the others did not leave anyone to supervise the use.
Because they do not have this right, that is, they can decide where the funds are used? But they do not have the right to supervise other people's construction, unless they construct themselves...
After a few days walking around the surroundings, they went back one night.
Originally, when he came, Ye Yuze wanted to visit him in a private place, but Lou Zhanjiang found them in the county town, so they must have an insider.
Now that the matter has been finalized, they have left, and the old fox should not pay attention to them, so they have changed their cars intently.
The funds applied for by Kunshan Farm are not for drainage, but for dredging. Yuejin Reservoir was built in 1958. After decades, it has accumulated severe siltation and has long needed to be cleaned up.
The reservoir is not a river, just change the road first, clean it up and then change the river channel back.
A reservoir has too much water storage capacity. The silt can only be excavated after silting without drying the water in the reservoir and then sedimenting for a while.
This project is so large that it is impossible to imagine, but Kunshan Farm really does not have this kind of strength.
As the only corps farm with Uyghurs as the main body, they have a lower understanding of the use of machinery.
After all, this farm is not the most grown food, but cash crops.
There are 90,000 acres of red dates on the largest planting base in this farm. All the red dates in northern Xinjiang know about them. They are big, thick meat, thin skin, and they will not worry about sales at all.
Kunshan Farm is famous for its red dates. Every time it is the harvest season, merchants will flock to it, fearing that they will not be able to grab it.
Because there are many fruit trees, the degree of mechanization is low. After all, there is no such equipment in China at present. If imported, the price is not something that the farm can afford.
A few days ago, Ye Yuze did not ask how Building Zhanjiang was preparing for construction? After all, this is someone else's own business, and it is not good to ask too much.
To be continued...
