Chapter 395 Restoring Tradition
Cai Ruichen did not prevent other people from coming in. By his side, there were Ralph, General and Yuriko, and he was not worried that he would be in danger.
Fortunately, the house was only that big, and the number of people it could accommodate was very limited. Even those who couldn't get in simply crowded at the door or by the window, watching the people inside.
"Excuse me, what's the old man's name?" Cai Ruichen looked at the old man sitting next to him and asked.
A little girl who looked no more than three years old sat on the old man's lap, with a pair of big jewel-like eyes staring at Cai Ruichen curiously.
"My name is Atarimu." The old man replied respectfully, and this instinctive respect for the superior was very obvious.
"Grandpa Atarimu, are you still used to living here?" Cai Ruichen asked politely, and he didn't put on a condescending look because of the other party's respect. Respect is interactive.
"I am very used to it. The life here is very peaceful and the conditions are very good. Thank you Dr. Cai for everything you have done for us." The old man said very excitedly.
The topic went deeper from here, Cai Ruichen asked a lot about the living conditions here, and also asked other people in the room.
And I also asked a lot about my previous life, and the answers to these questions were all in a somewhat excited tone.
Sometimes they all rushed to answer, as if they really wanted to express their hearts.
In every word, there are more or less words of thanks, which makes Cai Ruichen quite satisfied.
He has done so much just to satisfy these people. If they are still not satisfied, then he doesn't know what to do.
Of course, he is not a pure philanthropist. He has invested a lot of light industry here, and the wool is all from sheep. The products produced by these light industries are also sold in Iraq.
This allows many products that must be imported to be purchased very cheaply from products produced in Iraq.
Especially the items needed for basic life. produce these products. With less investment and quick results, the cost can be recovered quickly, and a large number of employment problems can be solved.
It's not that the people here can't find anything to do. Once people are free, too many people have nothing to do. It can easily lead to social instability.
Fortunately, the light industry in Iraq is also full of corruption, and a lot of investment can get good results.
Just after chatting with these guys. Cai Ruichen also found that his thinking was a little simpler. Because many of these people still don't like it very much, go to work in the factory, but hope to find a way to restore the livestock industry that Iraq has proved. and planting.
It used to be the most developed area of animal husbandry and planting in Iraq, all because it is the place with the richest water resources in Iraq.
But with the perennial high temperature. The land here is becoming more and more barren, and then uncontrolled animal husbandry eats up the vegetation, and more and more places have turned into deserts.
this problem. Cai Ruichen is also very clear that Iraq used to be very developed in animal husbandry.
Among them, Iraq's black goats and camels are all very famous. The planting industry and candied dates exported from Iraq are also expensive internationally.
But now these are almost invisible. Although Cai Ruichen can bring them an industrialized living environment, there are still many people here who want to return to some traditions.
Cai Ruichen also agrees with this very much. After all, the development of a region should pay attention to all aspects, and of course, it should arrange various social structures reasonably.
The planting industry naturally needs to be developed, and the animal husbandry industry should be restored as much as possible, but these are not easy.
The first is the change of the natural environment, and the other is the extreme hot weather. If these two factors do not change, let alone the restoration of Iraq's former planting and animal husbandry, it is almost a dream.
But now there is not enough vegetation, if you raise a large number of animal husbandry, you can only eat all the feed. This kind of breeding can only be suitable for industrialized farming, but this is not what these people want.
And black goats are not suitable for feed breeding. It is best to have a place where they can run comfortably, otherwise the meat quality will not meet the standard of traditional black goats.
After listening to a lot, Cai Ruichen also thought a lot, but these two aspects are not so simple to solve.
Perhaps the weather control devices at the base can change the current environment in Iraq, and it would be more appropriate to consider these at that time.
At present, these are not easy to solve in a short period of time.
In this regard, Cai Ruichen can only tell these people that he will help them as much as possible, and also promises them that in the future, when the influence expands to the mountainous areas in the north, he will arrange the development of animal husbandry.
The mountains at the junction of northern Iraq and Iran are the most suitable for raising black goats, and there are a lot of vegetation there. There is a certain natural ecosystem in operation, which can satisfy the growth of a large number of black goats.
But that place is the territory of the Islamic State, and nearby are some Silk Road trading tribes, which are not so easy to negotiate.
So Cai Ruichen didn't dare to make a 100% guarantee, he could only say that he was trying his best, and in a short time, he could only say that he hoped they would wait.
After chatting with these people all over the world for an hour, Cai Ruichen almost understood all the main situations that interested him.
Then I visited the basic living conditions in the mobile home. There are six people in the Atarimu old man's family. Living in this 60-square-meter house is not too relaxed, but it is not very crowded.
In these mobile homes, there are closed-circuit televisions, kitchen appliances, and Internet access, and the living conditions are not bad.
Compared with the basic living standards in many developing countries, it is also very poor here.
Compared with people in other parts of Iraq, the living conditions here are very superior.
After visiting the inside and outside of the house, Cai Ruichen left Atarim's house, and in the next few hours, he went to several people's houses to stay temporarily.
But he soon discovered that, in fact, not many people here have recovered, and many people are still living in the shadow of the past.
For them, war is still an eternal topic. The harm caused by war to them, whether it is the wounds on the body or the wounds in the heart, still exists on them and still affects their lives. Extricate yourself. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
