- Luyan, Shaanxi.
Qiu Kaiwen came here with an oil drilling team. The drilling team was very large, with more than 200 people. It was divided into several drilling teams, and there were hundreds of carriages responsible for pulling equipment and supplies.
"Finally arrived in Luyan area!"
Qiu Kaiwen could not help but let out a long sigh of relief when he looked at the high loess slope in front of him.
As a native of the Loess Plateau, he never thought that one day he would return to his hometown in this way.
Qiu Kaiwen himself is from Luyan. When he was a teenager, he moved to Liaodong with his parents. After that, he attended a new-style school and was admitted to Imperial College London with excellent grades to study geography.
After graduation, he also worked in Sihai Commercial Bank. He was responsible for helping Sihai Commercial Bank explore for gold, silver, copper and other mineral resources in the offshore. Not long ago, he was transferred back to the mainland of Ming Dynasty and was responsible for leading the Tan Drilling Team to search for gold, silver, copper ore in the Luyan area. oil.
"The changes in my hometown are really big. There are a lot fewer people. A lot of yellow land is uncultivated and is overgrown with vegetation. It's extremely desolate!"
Qiu Kaiwen is not very old, only in his early 20s, but when he returned to his hometown again and looked at the yellow land that once raised him, he was filled with emotion.
Time flies so fast. I have only been away for about ten years, but huge changes have taken place on the Loess Plateau.
In the past, the Loess Plateau was very lively, with many people, and villages could be seen everywhere, with chickens and dogs chatting with each other. However, now, along the way, a large number of villages are deserted and dilapidated, and no smoke can be seen anymore. The yellow land that people rushed to cultivate was also deserted and overgrown with vegetation.
Birds and animals that were rarely seen before can now be seen everywhere. If you look around with a telescope, you can even see groups of yellow sheep.
The changes are so great.
Almost all the people here have moved away.
Liaodong, Xiyu, Hezhong, Northwest, and Nanyun are the main areas of migration. A large number of Luyan people and Yulin people migrated out, saying goodbye to the poor yellow land and embracing a wealthier new home.
¡°There are too few people here. We couldn¡¯t find a place to rest or drink tea.¡±
Next to Qiu Kaiwen, the deputy team leader Fang Ming said helplessly.
After the convoy got off the train in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, it kept walking north. The further it went, the fewer people there were and the more desolate it became. Now, it can't even find a place to rest or drink water.
It feels like you have suddenly walked into a deserted area, and you can't see almost anyone within ten miles.
"They have all moved out."
¡°My hometown is here. There used to be hundreds of households in our village, but now they have all moved out.¡±
Qiu Kaiwen smiled and said.
"Have they all moved out?" com Zhang Si
"It's hard to leave this homeland, so what are you doing moving out?"
When Fang Ming heard this, he immediately couldn't figure it out. He was from Tianjin, so of course he wouldn't understand the poverty on the Loess Plateau.
¡°Because it¡¯s so poor here that it¡¯s hard to even drink water.¡±
Qiu Kaiwen smiled and said: "If you walk 10 miles further, you can reach a small town. I guess you can rest and eat somewhere."
"Panlong Town, I know!"
"This place doesn't look bad, it's lush with vegetation, and there are a lot of wild sheep, pheasants, and the like. Will it be very poor here?"
Fang Ming opened the map and quickly found the location of Panlong Town on the map. Looking at everything in front of him, it seemed that the place was pretty good.
"When you arrive in Panlong Town, you will know how poor you are."
Qiu Kaiwen shook his head slightly.
People who have never been on the Loess Plateau cannot understand the poverty here.
The poverty on the Loess Plateau is far from comparable to the poverty in other places.
?Perhaps for a load of drinkable water, you need to walk for half an hour to jump into the water. In the Loess Plateau, which has thousands of ravines, soil erosion is very serious and there is a great shortage of water.
¡°Other places may just be poor, but at least there is still drinking water, but the poverty here is so poor that even drinking water needs to be walked a long way to pick up.
In Qiu Kaiwen¡¯s childhood memories, his mother?
"Hmm~"
Qiu Kaiwen nodded. When entertaining guests on the Loess Plateau, this glass of water is absolutely indispensable. There is no way around it. Drinking water was always a big problem in the past.
"Wang Dachui is my son. How is their family doing now?"
Old man Wang waited for Qiu Kaiwen to finish drinking the water, and then asked quickly.
¡°I¡¯m having a great time~¡±
"We who immigrated have lived a very good life."
"Uncle Wang is a blacksmith, so he knows a lot about machinery. He was the first to buy a harvester and a cultivator. He has thousands of acres of land at home, and the grain he harvests in a year costs hundreds of taels of silver. , and even built a pig farm of his own, raising dozens of pigs every year."
"And Uncle Wang also took in concubines, a Korean concubine, and two European slave girls as concubines. Now he has more than a dozen children."
When Qiu Kaiwen heard this, he quickly said.
"Hey, there are thousands of acres of land. You can get hundreds of taels of silver from selling grain, and you can also raise dozens of pigs." 105xsw.com 读牺
"My dear, this is incredible."
"You still have a concubine? Isn't this a landowner's old fortune? Old man Wang, there is smoke coming out of your ancestral grave."
"Isn't that right? We have been farmers for generations, but when we arrived at Wang Dachui's place, we were already wealthy landlords."
When the old people nearby heard this, they couldn't help but say.
"This boy, when he wrote to me, I told him not to take concubines and to be worthy of his wife, but he still didn't listen. I'm really pissed off."
After hearing this, Old Man Wang immediately cursed and said something similar to the letter he had received, but everyone could see that he was happy. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
