"It seems you've done a lot of research. Although it looks good, it's not only time-consuming and laborious, but also requires a significant investment."

"Yes! In my opinion, the most crucial thing is that the land lease term is too short. If possible, I can turn this place into a circular ecological farm in twenty years."

Is ecology really that important?

"How should I put it? It can be described as a major event that benefits future generations."

"Oh! Mian'er, tell us more carefully."

"good

Ecological circular agriculture is an integrated management approach that organically links planting, animal husbandry, fishery and processing industries. It utilizes microbial technology to form a virtuous cycle of the overall ecological chain among multiple modules such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production and fishery. It will provide systematic solutions for solving agricultural pollution, optimizing industrial structure, saving agricultural resources, improving output efficiency, transforming agricultural ecology and ensuring food safety, and create a new type of multi-level circular agricultural ecosystem, thus creating a virtuous ecological cycle environment.

Instead of solely pursuing high yields. Putting aside other factors, if it were built according to this model, its yield would definitely not be low, considering the grain produced on the existing land.

"That made me understand. It means that we should not only grow grains nearby, but also fruit trees, raise fish, poultry and livestock, etc. We should do everything that can be raised or grown."

The most crucial thing is to plant according to a certain model and a certain plan, rather than doing it haphazardly. It must be planned.

And we also need to make effective use of the waste generated, right?

That's right.

"Having said all that, what are your plans for this place?"

"I plan to build houses within the ecosystem that integrates agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fishery into a virtuous cycle."

"Build a house?"

"This is what I think about building the house: if this is built, it will become a demonstration base, and a large number of people will come to visit it."

But just visiting isn't enough; they need to stay here and experience it firsthand. Only then will they be determined to get it done.

Furthermore, as our country's economy develops, a large number of tourists from other places will definitely come to Beijing, and this place can also become a tourist attraction.

Or I could turn this place into a small residential area, where living would be like a paradise.

"Then why not turn this place into both a residential area and a tourist attraction?"

"It's not impossible. We can turn this place into a guesthouse, which would also boost the development of the rural areas at the foot of the mountain."

"Homestays, what's the story behind that?"

"Homestays refer to small accommodation facilities that utilize local residential buildings and other idle resources to provide tourists with opportunities to experience local nature, culture, and lifestyle."

This illustrates the unique characteristics of homestays compared to hotels or inns. Unlike traditional hotels, homestays may lack luxurious facilities, but they allow people to experience local customs, feel the warmth and service of the homestay owner, and experience a lifestyle different from the past.

This refers to utilizing spare rooms in a private residence, combined with local culture, natural landscapes, ecology, environmental resources, and agricultural, forestry, and fishery activities, to provide personalized accommodation for travelers on outings or long journeys. Residential houses, leisure centers, farmhouses, ranches, etc., can all be categorized as homestays.

"This means using tourism to drive rural economic development!"

"That's right, you could say that."

"But wouldn't this make planning very inconvenient?"

"Fortunately, because none of the facilities have been prepared yet, and at this stage, the land needs to be reorganized and divided into areas within the next three to five years. We cannot let this place sit idle, but rather maximize its potential and increase its output value."

The rest can be built gradually after the plan is finalized, creating a tourist attraction with local characteristics based on existing resources.

"In that case, the problem you've been raising about the contract period being too short can be solved."

So you can go back and compile the planning maps and design concepts here into documents, and then we old guys will go and run errands for you.

Regardless, this is a good thing. It can serve as a demonstration project. If it's feasible, putting aside everything else, our country is vast and rich in resources. With mountains and rivers, developing the ecological environment can drive agricultural development, so running this kind of homestay is definitely possible!

"That's right. We can't just keep developing; we also need to leave something for future generations."

"Then Mianmian will thank all the elders in advance."

"Thanks are nothing, but when we guys come over to visit later, you can't stop us from coming."

"Definitely, definitely. I'll definitely come over often when I have time. We can come together then and hear everyone's opinions."

"Forget about the opinions, I just feel like I've had nothing to do since I retired, and I'm just sitting around all day. I'm always feeling uncomfortable or something is off. But you'll have a place to come from in the future, so I'll come and farm for you."

"That's right! We may not be good at other things, but we're practically experts at farming."

"that is"

I never expected that this time, with a few retired cadres, we could easily solve the problem of short contract periods.

Moreover, in less than a month, the authorities not only approved the extension of the land contract period for all of them, but also uniformly extended it to 70 years.

They also introduced me to many relevant experts, and together we planned an ecological farm near Miaoshan.

Besides this, what surprised him even more was that, given the already severe shortage of personnel, he was able to use the military's name to start a company.

This company is "Myosan Construction Company", but they are not currently building any high-rise buildings, but rather leveling and regulating the land there.

To this end, he even went on a long trip to find a place and transported the fruit tree seedlings from his spatial dimension back to him.

Speaking of space, I have to say that since returning to Beijing to study, I have really had no time to take care of it. I can only propagate fruit tree seedlings in the ground. Fortunately, I have seeds of most of the fruit trees that can grow in the north. In the past few years, I have planted some of various varieties, and they are all seedlings that are two or three years old.

Although the construction company was established, it was short of an architect. Fortunately, he had many friends. Not to mention others, most of his pen pals from back then had returned to the city after taking the college entrance examination. They were engaged in various industries. It could be said that as long as he wanted to get involved in any industry, it would not be a problem to start a factory or company with them.
