Kalia dragged the two Valvis brothers and rushed towards the intersection of the alley excitedly, rushed to the crowd in front of the notice board, and read the text with difficulty on tiptoe.
The people near Kariya’s house, in similar circumstances to Kariya’s family, are all Greeks from Eastern Rumelia.
They came to Greece and were placed in the small town of Kavala by the local Greek government.
Therefore, they are also very excited after the Greek government’s land reclamation policy is now down.
“The government’s announcement has come down, and it has been confirmed that every landless family can reclaim no more than 50 acres of wasteland for free. That’s great.”
The people around were happily discussing the contents of the notice.
“With the land, we can survive here”
“Thanks to the merciful God, long live the generous king, long live Greece”
The excitement in his heart is indescribable, and someone shouted in praise with a trembling voice.
The two administrators who posted the notice stood around the notice board and explained to the crowd in front of them: “The government’s policy of encouraging land reclamation has been approved by the king, the prime minister, and the parliament, and it will take effect immediately.”
“If you have any questions about this, you can ask us”
This official is a staff member of the newly formed Kavala Town Administrative Office. They naturally understand the tragic situation of these people who are displaced from Eastern Rumelia all the way to the south to Greece.
For the compatriots who had been reduced to miserable refugees during the war, sympathy and pity sprouted in their hearts, so that the two wanted to do something for them, even if there was a little help for those who had undergone terrifying sudden changes.
The joy made everyone ecstatic, and the noisy discussion drowned out the reminders of the two.
It wasn’t until the people around were talking about land reclamation that Kalia, who only hugged Valves and Little Loves, finally reacted. Fifty acres of free land, fifty acres of free land, Kalia murmured. Talk to yourself, keep repeating, over and over again.
With these lands, the orphans, widows, and mothers, have the means to survive.
Since her husband’s death, Kalia, a woman with two children, has had a tough time.
Even after they came to Kavala, the local Greek government and church did their best to help them.
It’s just that the war has just ended. Kavala, a small port town on the coast of the Aegean Sea, is also a territory newly occupied by Greece from the Bulgarians. Everything is still in chaos. The last month has been really difficult for the Kariya family.
All his belongings were lost, the land in Eastern Rumelia was confiscated, and even the packages he carried with him were lost on the road, fleeing from the Bulgarians.
In just two months, everything changed. In order to make ends meet, Kalia even looked for a man to marry again, as long as he didn’t hate Valvis and Little Loves.
It’s just that the war has just ended, the society is in turmoil, and there is no job at all.
Young people of the right age have gone to the battlefield, and the people you can see every day, except for girls, are widows who lost their husbands in the war. Men have become rare animals, and it is impossible to even remarry.
More than once, in the dead of night, the exhausted Kariya had the extreme idea of ending it all.
The confusion in her heart and the loneliness of living in a different place, with no relatives and no way to deal with it, always eroded her heart, and the tragic suffering made it difficult for her to sleep.
But seeing the two young children in their sleep, Kalia dispelled this dangerous thought.
Their lives have just begun, and they can’t be so cruel, leaving their two ignorant children to face the world alone.
Later, they lived nearby, similar to Kalia’s family, who also lost most of their property and became refugees. There was a rumor that the Greek government would distribute land to the invincible people for free after the war.
Although such rumors have no origin at all, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false, everyone is willing to discuss them every day, because this is their only hope.
Everyone is no stranger to war.
After the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century, the situation was complicated, and the Balkans were a mess, and there was no peace for a day. Unrest is the norm here, and everyone has been numb.
The Russo-Turkish War, the Baosai War, the uprising for independence, religious disputes, ethnic disputes, two Balkan wars, and the three countries of Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia have been in the Balkans for more than ten years in the Balkans. These conflicts will affect people living in the Balkans.
In these turbulent times, hope is something more precious than gold.
The reason why they are fleeing is to face Greece on the southern coast of the Aegean Sea, because everyone has heard that in recent years, Greece’s economy has developed rapidly and its social order has been stable.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is said that the Greek army is relatively strong in combat and has not suffered a defeat in recent years, and can protect the lives and property of the people of the country.
Especially after the Bulgarian army in Thrace was defeated by the Greek army, more people fled to Greece.
Everyone is familiar with the perennial war. Once Bulgaria is defeated, the people in Bulgaria will suffer another looting, the reconstruction of the army, the reparations for the defeat, the foreign debts borrowed from abroad, and the reconstruction of the domestic order, all need money, the king who has no money. Taxes are bound to be raised to them in order to tide over the difficulties.
According to Greek government statistics, many of the fleeing refugees belong to the Slavs.
For these people, the attitude of the Greek government is to accept them without discrimination.
Now the news of land reclamation has been confirmed, fifty acres of land is enough for myself and two children.
And these fifty acres of land are completely their own.
In an instant, Kalia felt that the burden on her body disappeared, and the breath she had been holding for so long was let out. Like a balloon punctured by a needle, her body slumped weakly to the ground.
One of the two civil servants, Lundhart, looked at the gaffe woman in front of him, and quickly stepped forward to carefully help Kalia up.
Lundhardt, who had just returned from the army, noticed that the territory newly won by Greece from Bulgaria was establishing grass-roots administrative institutions and needed to recruit a large number of personnel.
Lundhart took advantage of the benefits of a veteran of the Greek army and found a position to work in the Kavala administration.
The reason for working in Kavala is because Lundhart believes that Kavala is a port city on the Aegean Sea, and after being brought under Greek rule, it has better prospects for economic development.
In a prosperous big city like Thessaloniki, government jobs are in high demand, and the same group of retirees as Lundhardt are competing for positions there. Zavala.
Lundhart believes that as long as peace is maintained for the next few years, Kavala, a coastal city, will see rapid economic growth.
Because Bulgaria controlled Kavala for a relatively short time, although Kavala is the only Aegean port in Bulgaria, it has not been effectively developed, and has been affected by wars many times. Until now, it is still a small seaside town.
Lundhart, who has been working in Kavala for more than ten days, knows Kalia, understands the situation of their family, and can understand Kalia’s mood.
“Kalia, as a widow with two children, even if the government allows each family to reclaim fifty acres of wasteland for free, can you handle such a heavy job?” Lundhart helped Looking at Kalia, he reminded.
Kalia, who was overwhelmed by joy, seemed to be in a trance, and murmured absently, “What?”
It has been more than ten days since I came to Kavala, and Lundhart, who is a staff member of the Administrative Office, is relatively familiar with the land information around the small town of Kavala.
Due to the small population and suffering from war, the land reclamation around Kavala is limited, and a large amount of reclaimable wasteland has been preserved.
Just cultivating wasteland in a barren wilderness is very hard work, especially for a woman called Kalia.
In the wilderness around Kavala, there are many swamps and forests with strong weeds.
It takes a lot of sweat and effort to transform uncultivated land into mature land.
To reclaim wasteland, it is necessary to drain the water in the wilderness swamp, and then transport the soil to fill it up. The weak soil needs to be thickened, and the soil is too thin and crops cannot grow;
The roots and stems of grass and trees should be cleaned up, otherwise the weeds will flood the crops. The trees are first cut down, and then the remaining stumps are dug up. The roots of the trees are intertwined and cannot be cleaned up. In previous years, they may revive and sprout new buds.
In addition, there are many stones and rubble in the wasteland, which also need to be carefully selected.
Even if these tasks can be completed, there is still one difficulty in planting crops on the land, and that is water conservancy facilities.
If the crops cannot be watered in time, the harvest will be seriously affected, and the excavation of water conservancy facilities is also a big project, and the degree of difficulty is no less than that of land reclamation.
Valvis, who was beside Kalia, raised his head and volunteered: “It doesn’t matter, I can help my mother to go to the ground together. We will have a holiday soon, and I can go to work every day.”
Little Loves, who was holding his brother’s hand, although he couldn’t understand what several people were talking about, but seeing his brother’s actions, he was not to be outdone, jumping and shouting: “And me, I can too”
Lundhardt stroked the heads of the two children. The childish words of these two well-behaved and sensible children made him feel more pity in his heart and looked at Kalia.
After being reminded by Lundhardt, Kalia also woke up from the surprise and realized the difficulty of reclaiming wasteland.
“Yes, but there’s no good way to do it. What can we do? This is our family’s only hope, and it’s impossible to give up.” Kalia said with a forced smile.
After careful consideration, Lundhardt gave his own suggestion again: “It’s really hard to reclaim fifty acres of wasteland with you as a woman. Did you know that Greece has an agricultural cooperative system?”
Lundhardt’s words attracted the attention of the people around them. Everyone’s situation was similar to that of the Kalia family. Even for an ordinary family, working in fifty acres of wasteland was a staggering job.
Although it has been a short time since I came to Greece, agricultural cooperatives have already become popular in Greece, and everyone knows about this new type of agricultural system in Greece on weekdays, but it is too one-sided.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Lundhart and his colleagues introduced the Greek agricultural cooperative system to everyone.
Due to the support of the government and the strong vitality of the new system of agricultural cooperatives, agricultural cooperatives have been widely welcomed by Greek farmers over the years, attracting most farmers who own land to participate in this new system.
Agricultural cooperatives and individual family farms in Greece can cooperate with each other even though they are independent of each other: a single family is responsible for the planting and production of crops, and the cooperative is responsible for providing sales channels and transportation services. Such a clear division of labor allows Greek agricultural production, All of a sudden from the traditional decentralized crop planting to the intensive and large-scale production of crops, the production efficiency has been greatly improved.
Farmers don’t need to worry about the sales of crops, they only need to focus on improving the yield and quality of their crops, because their income is only related to the yield and quality of crops.
In addition, agricultural cooperatives will coordinate with members to buy production tools, fertilizers, seeds and pesticides in bulk to reduce farmers’ costs. When selling agricultural products, everyone gathers together to gain more voice and increase the price of agricultural products.
“Actually, all of you are in similar situations, and you are all faced with the work of reclaiming wasteland. You can form a cooperative, and then you can pool your respective wasteland shares, and you can help each other and unite~www.mtlnovel.com~ Improve Efficiency of Reclamation”
“Secondly, if agricultural cooperatives are established, according to Greek policy, cooperatives in the stage of land reclamation can be supported by government policies. You can use the name of the newly established agricultural cooperatives to loan a sum of money to the bank for one year. interest-free loan”
“You can use this loan to buy tools that will speed up the efficiency of your wasteland reclamation, make your land more profitable, and help you get your life back on track.”
After everyone heard Lundhart’s suggestion, they discussed it in a low voice.
“If you decide to set up an agricultural cooperative, the Kavala Administration can send professionals to guide you in establishing the agricultural cooperative and help you to get the agricultural cooperative on the right track faster.”
“In addition, I have good news to tell you that the soil and climate of our Kavala are very suitable for growing tobacco. A few days ago, I also met a businessman from Thessaloniki, who asked me about local The agricultural cooperatives are neutral, whether the main product is tobacco, if there are agricultural cooperatives willing to grow tobacco, they can send professionals to guide you to grow tobacco, and if the agricultural cooperatives agree to sign the contract, they can even pay a one-year deposit in advance.”
