253 Dilemma

In any case, the land redemption policy of the Management Council has been hotly debated by all Nyasaland residents.

Not only did the residents who were eligible to buy the land, but also those in power in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Salisbury and Port Edward were reluctant to let go of the opportunity, and the management committee had to lift the limit and raise the limit of 100 acres to 500 acres.

Wu Zhen signed up as soon as possible, hoping to get a loan from the Rand Bank to buy a hundred-acre farm.

In order to help these farmers improve their farms, the management committee has done everything they can, in addition to the loan from the RAND Bank, the management committee will give certain subsidies so that these farmers can set up their farms as quickly as possible, from ploughing horses to cows to seeds and fertilizers, as long as the farmers need, everything they need.

Wu Zhen's farm is not far from Little Rock, a hundred acres of farm, plus the related means of production, Wu Zhen and Wu Wei borrowed a total of 200 pounds from the Rand Bank.

After buying the farm, Wu Zhen was about to leave the aquatic company, and the house he lived in before had to be returned to the aquatic company.

"Look, we had to pay for the house when we divided the house in the past, but now we don't have to pay it back to the aquatic company, not to mention it, there is not even a moving fee, how much did you spend Lao Wu - 200 pounds, almost equivalent to 2000 oceans, if you go back to our hometown, 2000 oceans will almost buy a Zhuangzi, you have to work for the aquatic company for at least six or seven years, is it worth it?" Niu Tiansu muttered in his mouth, he still worked hard in his hands, his strength was very strong, and the cabinet that could be lifted by two people, Niu Tiansu could move it alone.

Is it worth it?

That's a great question.

Changing to Niu Tiansu, it is definitely not worth it, but for Wu Zhen, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a hundred acres of farm is equivalent to six hundred acres of land, although Wu Zhen bought only 20 years of farm management rights, but the management committee promised that after 20 years, if there is no accident, the farm is still Wu Zhen's farm, and the management committee will not take it back, believe it or not is their own business.

There is nothing that you don't believe, the Chinese in Nyasaland may not believe in the management committee, but they absolutely believe in Roque, if there is no Roque, the Chinese in Nyasaland are still displaced in the war of the Qing Dynasty, let alone buy a family business in Nyasaland, it is difficult to say whether they will be separated now.

For people like Niu Tiansu, there is actually not much to say, this kind of person will not easily trust others, calculate his work under Roque, and will not be full of gratitude to Roque, on the contrary, he will only think that this is the most reasonable equivalent exchange, and there is no gratitude.

"Brother, what else did you buy besides the farm?" Wu Wei deliberately provoked this topic, a hundred acres of farm only cost a hundred pounds, Wu Zhen spent two hundred, there must be something else.

"Hehe, I bought two ploughing horses, enough to plough the land, the farm is on the outskirts of Little Rock City, all of them have been cultivated, I am going to plant ten acres of potatoes first, and then sell them to the wine company, in addition to the ploughing horses and four cows, doesn't Xiaoya want to drink milk, don't buy it in the future, I have enough here, your sister-in-law has long wanted to feed some chickens, ducks and geese or something, we used to live in the community and were not allowed to feed, now we are casual, in the future, our children can also eat chickens, ducks and goose eggs at will, and if they can't finish eating, they can be pickled and sold, I am ready to plant fruit trees next to my home, There is no shortage of fruit to eat all year round, and in the future, we will drink wine and we will not be able to eat all the fruit! "Wu Zhen has a beautiful vision for the future, he is not afraid of hard work, the key is to work hard to have a reward.

The Nyasaland Agricultural Corporation promotes an agro-ecological cycle in Nyasaland based on the experience of Johannesburg farms.

This agro-ecological cycle is actually very simple, the farmer can plant fruit trees around his home, chickens and pigs can be raised under the fruit trees, chicken manure and pig manure can be raised for fish, and the pond mud can be cleaned up to provide enough fertilizer for the fruit trees.

It looks a little complicated, but it's not troublesome, everything actually depends on whether the yield of potatoes is high enough, and the yield of potatoes -

Let's put it this way, even if Wu Zhen only grows one acre of potatoes, it will be enough for the whole family and the whole family to raise livestock.

For two years at most, Wu Zhen's farm will be self-sufficient.

This "self-sufficiency" does not refer to simple food, to achieve self-sufficiency, poultry and egg products must be available, milk and goat milk must also meet the nutritional supply, festivals can kill chickens, at the end of the year can kill pigs are routine operations, the higher the proportion of non-staple food, the less demand for staple food, this is a virtuous circle.

"Lao Wu, you will fall into a honeypot, the landlord and old wealth in our hometown are not as nourished as you-" Qian Jiang is very envious, he has not yet obtained the qualification, and he is scolded by his wife every day when he goes home, and he is very aggrieved.

"Brother, the second cousin of the lobby sent me a telegram yesterday, saying that he also wanted to come to Nyasaland, but our county magistrate there would not let go, and the lobby brother and the second cousin couldn't leave." Wu Wei was worried, as long as he was not stupid, he knew that life in Nyasaland would get better and better, and it was only a stubborn person like Niu Tiansu who insisted that the Qing Kingdom had a better future than Nyasaland.

In fact, even Niu Tiansu knew that Nyasaland was more promising than the Qing Kingdom.

But Niu Tiansu will not admit this, if he admits this, it will prove that all of Niu Tiansu's previous decisions are wrong, which makes Niu Tiansu unacceptable no matter what.

As for Wu Wei's elder brother and second cousin, Wu Zhen had sent a telegram to the Qing Kingdom before, hoping that they could move their families to Nyasara.

It's a pity that there will always be many people in this world who are skeptical of everything, and people like Niu Tiansu have already enjoyed the dividends of Nyasara's development, but they still don't trust the management of Nyasaland, let alone other Chinese in the Qing Dynasty.

They most likely don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and they won't want to emigrate to Nyasaland unless they are desperate.

This is just this kind of thing, step by step, step by step, just like Qianjiang's family, who only arrived in Nyasaland three months later than Wu Zhen's family, and now the gap is already irreparable.

"Look, I said you can't be hasty, it's broken now, you can't go back to your home!" Niu Tiansu didn't know what he was regretting, Wu Zhen, Wu Wei, and Qian Jiang all looked at Niu Tiansu with the eyes of a fool.

Niu Tiansu finally felt that something was wrong, but he didn't reflect on himself, and still blamed all the blame on others: "The management committee is really harmful, if you go to the management committee now, I don't know if you can go back to your hometown——"

"No one forced you to stay in Nyasaland, you can go back if you want to, don't look at the fact that you can earn 360 oceans a year now, do you think you are worth 360 oceans? If you have the ability to leave Nyasaland and return to the Qing Kingdom, if you can earn 36 yuan a year, I will count you as the boss of the cow! Wu Zhen and Qian Jiang were embarrassed to say that Wu Wei had no scruples.

Regarding the matter of making money, someone once said: standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly.

This sentence is the same as in Nyasaland, don't look at many Chinese in Nyasaland can earn 36 pounds a year, but that does not mean that they are worth 36 pounds, these Chinese in the Qing Dynasty are mostly unable to get along, desperate to come to Nyasaland, the reason why they can earn 36 pounds a year is not because they have any skills worth 36 pounds a year, but because all the Chinese in Nyasaland, as long as they meet the conditions, can earn 36 pounds a year.

So if anyone feels that because of the high salary offered by Nyasaland, he thinks that he is worth so much money, then he is stupid, and when he returns to the Qing country, let alone 36 pounds, he can earn 36 yuan a year, even if God gives face.

"What did you say, bastard?" Niu Tiansu also knew that he was worth a few dollars, but he was directly exposed by Wu Wei like this, and he still couldn't hang his face.

"Oh, Boss Niu extinguishes the fire, the young man is not sensible, don't be like him." Wu Zhen jumped out and thin mud.

"It's nothing good to go home, my brothers in my hometown also want to come to Nyasaland, the past two years have been a war disaster, and locusts, and there is no harvest in my hometown, even if I go back to my hometown and buy a few acres of land, what can I do? If you don't get it in the field, you will lose as much as you plant, but look at us in Nyasaland, even if you don't get it in the field, you won't starve to death, if you want to go home, no one will stop you. "Qian Jiang couldn't help but say a fair word, farming in the Qing Kingdom?

Before the crops could grow, the people starved to death.

This is not an exaggeration, in the year of the catastrophe, the tragic situation is unimaginable, not to mention the crops, the bark has been gnawed away, the whole village except for people, there is no living thing left, cats, dogs, and so on have been eaten all away, even big animals such as cattle and horses are not spared, and the common people also know that if the cattle and horses are eaten, it will be more difficult to farm in the future, but people are hungry and have no choice, and even the children can be replaced to eat, and the livestock or anything can't be taken care of.

Even if they are not eaten, the animals will starve to death.

Nyasaland has no such worries, although Qian Jiang doesn't know what Nyasaland was like before, but looking at the current situation in Nyasaland, probably no one will die of hunger.

At this time, I have to say that Africa is really a place of ointment, not only wild animals and aquatic products, but I really don't want to move, I can't starve people to death when I go to the forest to pick fruits, and the bread grows directly in the trees in this place, even Africans can't starve to death, and the Chinese will starve to death?

That's not starvation, it's laziness!

What Qian Jiang said is the truth, even Niu Tiansu was speechless, Niu Tiansu just received a telegram two days ago, and the family urged Niu Tiansu to send money, and now a bucket of wheat has risen to a big ocean, even if Niu Tiansu earns more money, he can't make up for the big hole in the family.

After getting the telegram, Niu Tiansu really wanted his family to come directly to Nyasaland.

But in that case, Niu Tiansu's hard-earned money in the past two years has all been wasted, and the family has just bought dozens of acres of land, and Niu Tiansu is really reluctant.

Niu Tiansu also thought about disposing of all the land he bought at a low price, but the current situation in the Qing Kingdom is very difficult, no one buys the land, and many landlords even abandon the land and leave their hometowns to flee, even if they want to sell the land, who will sell it to?
