We had pilaf at Alimujiang's house at noon, and then he said he would drive me to the edge of the desert. Only then did I find out that he bought a car immediately after getting his driver's license.

When I saw this car in a garage specially built in Alimujiang, I suddenly admired Mr. Maimaiti. This car was the Transit I bought from Mayisha’s father and resold it to him.

.

"Alimujiang, Mr. Maimaiti sold this car to you? How much did it cost you? He asked me to help him sell the car, but I never helped him."

"Well, this car is good. It can pull people and goods. It has a high chassis and sufficient power. The toll is the same as that of a small car. I like it. When Teacher Maimaiti found me, I was about to get off. Four

Wanba."

However, Teacher Maimaiti did not charge more, and the price was almost equal to the same amount. Probably because he was worried that he would not be able to sell the goods, he did not increase the price.

"Then you must have made a profit. The clutch, timing belt, brakes, etc. of this car have just been replaced. It will not require major maintenance if it runs for 100,000 kilometers. The price of a car of this year on the market is about 70,000. Although it is a bit old, this car

The car looks good inside and out." I said.

Alimujiang is quite satisfied with the Transit, which makes me relieved. I am worried that the car will be circulated in the hands of acquaintances, which will only increase conflicts. There is actually no desert near Alimujiang's house, but there is one in the south of the village.

After more than twenty minutes of bumpy driving in the desert area, we arrived at the dividing line, with desert on one side and oasis on the other.

This kind of desert area does not have a large desert, but you can see sandbags one by one. You can see the Gobi Desert between the sandbags. I checked it with my mobile phone. This is a large desert area with no human habitation and oasis.

The boundary is clear, with farmland on one side and sandy land on the other.

"This desert goes all the way to Maigaiti and Yarkand. I knew there was a desert here before, but I never noticed it." I stood on the edge of the desert and looked at the sand dunes in the distance.

"You told me about land transfer last time, so I asked about this piece of land. There are about 600 acres in the village that can be transferred to me. I'll try it first. If I can do it well, I might be given more.

The land. Brother Li, do you think you can get this land?"

"What are you going to do with it? What will it cost you?"

"There are about 70 acres of land over there that can be used directly. It is a bit nutritious land, but it can be improved. There are about 500 acres of land here that are all like this. It cannot grow food for the time being. We need to find ways to improve it.

The old man said that his grandfather and grandfather may have grown food here hundreds of years ago. So I think it can be developed. Planting things and raising cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigeons, etc."

"Of course I know that this place can only grow things. It's all sand and Gobi desert. How much investment will it take to transform it?"

"The investment must be made, or we should use subsidies and preferential loans. But it is not much compared to greenhouses. The main thing is to persist. It will take at least several years to change the soil fertility. I have been thinking about how to change it."

"Then don't hesitate, just take it. When the weather gets warm, I'll come over to play." I said.

I can only give support to Alimujiang, because I know nothing about these things and have no interest in farming, so I don’t know whether it will make money to rent land. But I really said that I came to play, why do I want to go to these places first?

Are you thinking of playing?

"Brother Li, sometimes I really don't understand what you are thinking. This place is full of desert and Gobi. It's bare and has no water or rivers. What's so fun about it?"

"When you really take over this land, I will be motivated. Let's walk around the land and see what we are going to do." I said.

Alimujiang didn't say exactly what he wanted to do with this desert land, but I knew that he actually had his own ideas, but they might not be mature yet, so he didn't tell me immediately.

Agricultural machinery is definitely needed to open up wasteland. I told Alimujiang before that I was envious of the many automation equipments in Leng Jiayue, and I asked Alimujiang how he considered this aspect.

"It's too much investment to rent or buy one by yourself. I will buy a big tractor and subsidize two small tractors and some agricultural machinery attached to the tractor. But the subsidies are not mine. Didn't I hire a few poor households?

, I have two talented people who have learned how to drive and operate agricultural machinery. I subsidize them and rent them when I want to use it, so that they also have income and I also have agricultural machinery to use. It’s just that tractors and some agricultural machinery seem to be about the same as clearing land, and the land is not big.

It’s hundreds of acres, so the key point is how to transform it. What I want is to be able to promote it. If it’s too expensive or cannot be promoted, it won’t work.”

New technology is not easy, especially to effectively transform salinized desert lands. Not only do we have to control salinity, but we also have to fight against the desert. Thinking about it gives me a headache.

Alimujiang was not in a hurry to leave. He was just standing in the field thinking about something. At this time, it was impossible to tell that this young man was a college student.

The wind and sand here are not as big as in Kashgar city, so compared with the yellow sky in Kashgar, it is whiter here. I also went down to the ground from the roadside, and instantly lost my illusion. This land is completely unsuitable for planting. For reasons

Worried, I called Lei Jiajia and asked her whether such land was worth renovating and whether it was possible.

"What do you want to change into?"

“First things can grow, and then we can turn it into fertile land.”

"It's easy to grow things, but fertile land takes some effort. I'll go back and tell Alimujiang directly, at least I need to see some test reports."

"Can Alimujiang do the test himself?"

"Yes, I've taught him the simple ones and given some reagents, and he can give me soil samples for the more complicated ones. Sampling is more complicated, but it's not impossible to learn. You all went to college, so you should be fine."

Lei Jiajia hurriedly hung up the phone on me without saying anything.

It seems that everyone has different concerns. I am worried that this land has no development value and is a waste of time and experience. Alimujiang thinks this is a good thing, because there is no other person in the village who can do development with his current strength.

Lei Jiajia is simpler. She doesn't worry about anything at all, it's just different development plans.

"Over there, above, I will build a temporary house, and I will invite Brother Li to have barbecue there. Next to the house, plant some trees, apples, apricots, walnuts, and many flowers. Then we will build over here.

In breeding farms, the fertilizer can be collected and processed directly and used as fertilizer. We will see how it is developed in other places."

"Do you want to build roads first or divert water first?"

"Well, find a bulldozer and push it directly to the road. I don't usually use a sports car. It's enough. I'll check the quality of the groundwater first. The investment in diversion of water from the countryside is too high. Maybe we should use drip irrigation technology instead of building canals. Find a
