Zhao Linger naturally knew that Zheng Zhansheng's depression. This phenomenon was not only here, but was common in the corps.

Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the economy, the remarks that no one has gone anywhere and life are almost the same have disappeared.

The rise of several southern cities has left the mainland behind decades. Although this is also due to policy reasons, it is more of the liberation of people's thoughts.

Take Guangzhou as an example, not to mention the large number of foreigners who are pouring in, the thinking and methods of doing things in Hong Kong and Taiwan have completely broken people's cognition.

People in the mainland still have a few dozen yuan in salary, and they calculate that they can save ten yuan this month and save 200 yuan by the end of the year.

The salary of Guangzhou people has reached more than 1,000 yuan, but this is because Hong Kong businessmen are harsh, because if they open factories in Hong Kong, each labor force will be at least 3,000 yuan.

Merchants are seeking profit, and they will not do anything without benefits. In fact, to put it bluntly, they come here to extract more value.

But things are both sides, because while they squeeze out surplus value, domestic workers also received wages that they would never dare to imagine in the mainland.

Therefore, everything has its own two sides, and we cannot simply stand on a certain commanding height to judge anything. To be fair, we can only take our own needs.

The same is true for the Corps. Now the Military Reclamation City has gathered a large number of military reclamation children and mainland workers.

These people are completely different from the old military reclamation. The first generation is completely emotional. With the words of taking root in the frontier and defending the motherland, they can devote their lives. But this era can no longer be achieved.

Because the second-generation military reclamationists have more choices. Their parents come from various provinces in the mainland, even developed areas such as Guangdong and Shanghai.

By visiting the house, you can understand everything clearly. Then you stay in your hometown and work to earn money. Can you say that they are wrong?

After all, today's corps are also contracted, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses. How different is this from working?

Before the reform and opening up, as long as people had a job, the family would live a peaceful life. Although the material is relatively poor, everyone is like this, and people are used to it, without ambition and no comparison.

But how is the same now? If someone earns a thousand and you earn a hundred, you can buy a car and a house, and you can ride a bicycle. Which young man can be content with this?

Zhao Ling'er could even imagine how many people would have been left in the Ninth Division without the Military Reclamation City? To be precise, how many young people would be left? The conditions there would be much better than here!

After an afternoon of chatting, Zhao Linger finally got a very clear understanding of the situation in the first company. In fact, to put it bluntly, there is little land and the quality of the grassland is poor.

Strictly speaking, there are not many lands, but they just don’t grow much grass. The grasslands that each family has divided are only enough for dozens of sheep to eat. In winter, all the hay can only be purchased, otherwise the sheep will have to starve to death.

Therefore, most of them were slaughtered and sold in large numbers before winter came, so that in the next winter, a lot of money can be saved.

All that is left is a ram, pregnant and pregnant ewes, so as to effectively ensure the number of sheep next year.

This quantity and feeding cost, the soldiers in the company can only maintain food and clothing. However, there is a saying that wealth is rich, but those with furry do not count.

The meaning of this sentence is that although domestic animals are also property, there are too many uncertain factors, such as plague, disease, and hunger, which can reduce their number at any time.

Zhao Linger recalled the governance method of the Military Reclamation City, where there were such land and pastures, and for this reason, two or two companies were also abolished.

Zhao Ling'er's eyes lit up. Yes, the land was transformed and the agricultural company transformed the Gobi Desert into a high-quality winter forage base. It must be OK here. So she expressed her thoughts.

Zheng Zhansheng smiled bitterly. The political commissar was really too young. He actually said that land transformation was so light.

He naturally knew that the experience of the Military Reclamation City had appeared on the Military Reclamation Newspaper more than once.

However, land transformation requires prerequisites. The first is water source and the second is money. The reason why water sources are ranked first is because that is the most basic condition. If there is no water source, no matter how much money you spend, the land transformed can only be a desert.

Although Lao Zheng's words were sincere, Zhao Ling'er was still not convinced. She had never suffered setbacks except for her feelings when she grew up. She still had the ability and courage to go from a district leader to a city leader in the Military Reclamation City. If she could be scared by a few words, she would not be her.

So in the next few days, Zhao Ling'er kept riding around on horseback. This was the only horse in the company, and it was Lao Zheng's mount. Now she has been requisitioned.

It can be seen that this horse must have been magical when he was young. However, as he was almost as old as Lao Zheng, Zhao Ling'er dared not let it run at a high speed.

Zhao Ling'er was looking for water sources. The checks made her feel a little chilled after the past few days. The thick snow on the military farm was covered with winter, and it turned into pieces here, and the grass was not covered at all. It can be seen that the snowfall here was also pitiful.

It seems that the only way to think of is groundwater or lure the river. She found fifty or sixty miles around the grassland, but she did not see the shadow of the river.

That night when he returned to the company, Zhao Linger was so tired that she didn't want to move her toes. She lie on the bed with her clothes, squinted her eyes and was about to go to bed.

The door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and Zheng Zhansheng's wife walked in with the food. In fact, she was very beautiful, but the wind and sand had completely destroyed her skin, and the only thing she left was her big eyes that were still agile.

Zhao Ling'er quickly stood up and called out to Auntie. The woman's face was a little confused and she waved her hand quickly: "I don't dare to call me that. You are the leader, and I am a family member."

Only then did Zhao Ling'er realize that Zheng Zhansheng's wife didn't even have a job. She had always been in the company as a family member.

Zhao Ling'er's nose was a little sour, and she was a little respectful to Zheng Zhansheng. In recent years, the Corps has given many naturalization quotas to the following units, just so that these veteran soldiers can live a stable life.

As the company commander, how could Zheng Zhansheng have fewer opportunities? If he didn't even arrange his wife, there was only one reason, that is, he gave all the quota to his comrades.

Zhao Ling'er took out a thousand yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "Auntie, this is my food expenses, I have to live here for a while."

"Don't you dare." The woman pushed and refused anxiously, as if she had made some mistake.
