After Xiong Dingcang finished speaking, he felt a little nervous. He looked at Nie Zhenbang. Ten square kilometers, Xiong Dingcang also considered this number. Judging from the value of the experiment, it is less than this number and there is not much reference value. It is equivalent to no experiment. It is higher than this number and it is too much to bear.

Ten square kilometers are just right, and can form a one-kilometer-wide and ten-kilometer-long sand protection belt. After two or three years, it doesn’t even take that long to see the effect of sand protection.

The No. 5 Sand Control No. 5 in Xiong Dingcang is not an ordinary sand prevention forest. In terms of density requirements, one plant needs to be every two square meters. Ten square kilometers, that is, 5 million plants are required. This is a huge amount. In addition to the construction of the drip irrigation system, the later manual maintenance, and the cleaning and re-transplanting of some dead plants. If such a project is to be started, it will cost at least 200 million yuan.

Nie Zhenbang did not agree immediately. Today is different from the past. With his current status and status, he does not speak any golden words. Then what he said must be counted. This is not a private occasion. This is a very formal investigation period. You must be responsible for whatever you say and do.

You can’t just see the benefits of Sand Control No. 5, but you also need to see the cost that needs to be consumed. After pondering for a while, Nie Zhenbang looked at Xiong Dingcang and said, “Old Xiong, what is the approximate budget for the cost? Do you have any detailed plans here?”

In terms of title, Nie Zhenbang has always used honorific words, Mr. Xiong, you fully reflect Nie Zhenbang's attitude towards talents. This is one of them.

Secondly, what Nie Zhenbang is most worried about is planning. Being a scholar is different from being a leading cadre. Most scholars, especially real scholars, have an ideal state. They only focus on their own research. As for other projects, how much value the project has and how much it can bear. These are all empty. They don’t care about it, and most of them ignore this aspect.

Things are good things. If Sham Control No. 5 can be successful, it will be a good thing for the entire country for generations. It can be imagined that ten years later, when these lands are completely improved, the land in the whole country will become a suitable place to live. This will relieve the increasingly tense population pressure. However, I am afraid that Mr. Xiong will not have any estimates, and he will do it completely with his passion and will do it casually. At that time, investment alone will be a bottomless pit, and there will be no promotion value.

On this side, Xiong Dingcang nodded and said, "Secretary Nie, I have made a detailed budget in this regard. The cultivation of Sand-Ji No. 5 is low-cost. Root cultivation can be used. Cutting cultivation can also be used. The biggest advantage of Sand-Ji No. 5 is that the growth in the early stage is very rapid. In the laboratory, transplantation can be carried out in two months. The trend of high-speed growth in the first three years is maintained. After that, the growth rate returns to normal levels. Ten years later, it reaches a height of six or seven meters.

The cultivation price of each plant is about fifteen yuan. Five million plants cost 75 million. In addition to the previous successful experience, we use the interplant of shrubs and grass. Calculated based on the area of ​​one plant for sand control No. 5, the cost is about twenty-five yuan. All of them require a cost of 125 million, plus the construction of the drip irrigation system and later maintenance. All of them require about 25 million.

Xiong Dingcang's introduction is very detailed, and it is specific to each plant. This meticulous and serious attitude made Nie Zhenbang feel a little moved. He is worthy of being a guardian of the earth. Mr. Xiong is not only excellent in research, but also considerate in planning. This is the true nature of a scholar.

On this side, Xiong Dingcang continued: "Secretary Nie. Before, my team was already preparing this project. The United Nations Environment Program will give me about 5 million research funds every year, plus the funding support of the National Spark Plan, the provincial finance special research funds and the school support. We have cultivated three million plants and can be transplanted at any time. After the three million seedlings are planted, the subsequent seedling sources can be fully supplied. Therefore, about 30 million can be eliminated here."

Nie Zhenbang kept silent, which made Xiong Dingcang feel a little nervous. He introduced everything. The cost of hundreds of millions is even the provincial party committee.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Zhenbang had the urge to directly expand the scale. Ten square kilometers cost 25 million. If one hundred square kilometers, it only costs 2 billion at most. The larger the scale, the cost will naturally decrease. Even if the government cannot produce this, Nie Zhenbang can find ways from other aspects.

However, considering the effectiveness of Sand Control No. 5, it still needs to be tested. Nie Zhenbang also held back. Good things have gone a long way. If they are effective, it will not be too late to promote them on a large scale.

Immediately, Nie Zhenbang looked up at Xiong Dingcang and said, "Old Xiong. This project is a good thing that benefits generations of descendants. The provincial party committee and government naturally support it. Governor Zhentao, what about your opinions?"

Since Nie Zhenbang had already expressed his opinion, Liu Zhentao nodded with a smile and said, "I agree with Secretary Nie's opinion. If Shasha Control No. 5 can have obvious results, I believe that this is something that will benefit all generations."

On this side, Nie Zhenbang suddenly said: "Old Xiong, I would like to consult with the governor of this desert control No. 5, since the governor can survive in desert areas, will it work if planted in other parts of the province? In addition, what is the economic value of trees?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Xiong also looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Secretary Nie, the soil in our Longxi Province is loess. For thousands of years, agricultural farming on the land of Guanzhong has exhausted the fertility of the land. The land is barren. The large-scale logging over the years has caused serious soil erosion in the province and a serious tendency to desertify. Planting in other places is naturally more adaptable. Moreover, I believe that it will not take half a year to prevent soil erosion and increase the groundwater level. "

Speaking of this, Mr. Xiong paused for a moment, but said embarrassedly: "As for economic benefits, I am ashamed to say that when I first chose the tree species, I simply considered the issues of environmental adaptability and growth. The wood of Sand-Ji No. 5 was loose and could only be used as less firewood. It has no particularly great economic value."

"However, the characteristic of Sand War No. 5 is that the root system is deep and will not cause much damage to shallow soil. Sand War No. 5 is very suitable for intercropping Chinese medicinal materials or crops in the forest. It will not affect it at all. Even the falling needles have a strong weight-enhancing effect after decay."

Listening to Xiong Dingcang's words, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, "Old Xiong, this project. Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, Governor Zhentao and I are unanimously recognized and supported. You can do it with confidence and boldness. At that time, I will arrange a special leadership group to connect with you."

After leaving Longxi Agricultural University, Nie Zhenbang and Liu Zhentao got on the Jinlong business car one by one. After seating, Liu Zhentao looked at Nie Zhenbang's thoughtful look, but said, "Secretary Nie, do you want to promote Sand Control No. 5 in the whole province?"

Nie Zhenbang was not much surprised that Liu Zhentao could guess this. His expression was written on his face. There was no concealment at all.

"Yes, although environmental protection forest projects have cooperated with enterprises, they have taken a new path in environmental governance, but overall, there are still many shortcomings in environmental protection forest projects. Most of the choices of enterprises are along this area along the Yellow River. In this way, the costs can be effectively reduced. In addition, the capabilities of enterprises are limited after all. The real environmental governance still depends on ourselves." Nie Zhenbang said with deep feelings.

Enterprises have their considerations. However, Longxi Province not only needs governance and protection along the Yellow River. The whole province, especially those ravines on the Loess Plateau, also need them. All of these can only be depend on themselves.

The height of Sand Control No. 5 will not cover too much sunshine. Moreover, Xiong Dingcang said that there is no problem in interplanting crops or medicinal materials in the forest. The lives of ordinary people will not be greatly affected. If it can be promoted on a large scale in the province, it can effectively reduce the evaporation of water in the province. In a few years, it will not be impossible for Longxi to restore the style of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Liu Zhentao also nodded and said, "The benefits are many. If done well, this is a great thing that benefits generations. This is a matter that is enough to be famous in history. However, the huge amount of funds needed to be consumed is a huge burden on the province. The 210,000 square kilometers of land in the province. The wind and sand areas in the north, the urban area and the area of ​​protective forests that have been built. The total area of ​​hilly and gully areas that need to be managed is about 20,000 to 50,000 square kilometers. Even if drip irrigation equipment is not required, shrubs and grass plants are not needed. Just Sand Control No. 5. Ten square kilometers is 75 million. Just calculate based on the area of ​​20,000 square kilometers, that is an investment of 150 billion."

"Yes, 150 billion, this does not include labor. Of course, planting in hilly and gully areas may not require such a large density, and the cost can be reduced. 80 billion is something that cannot be cut by a knife." Nie Zhenbang also sighed a little.

However, immediately, Nie Zhenbang's face showed an extremely firm expression, looking at Liu Zhentao and said, "Governor Zhentao, my idea is to go forward, unswervingly. For the future of the 47 million people in Longxi, we will tighten our belts and save money. I hope you can support me."

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang's firm attitude and sincere words shocked Liu Zhentao. Unlike Nie Zhenbang, Nie Zhenbang is the top leader of the provincial party committee. He is the top leader of the government. Most people will talk about the governor's economy. Liu Zhentao is also worried.

After a while of silence, Liu Zhentao nodded and said, "Secretary Nie. I agree with your point of view. It is urgent to benefit the descendants and grandchildren for generations."
