I took out the prepared documents.

“what is this?”

“This is a plan to revive Hadong University.”

Choi Geum-ja looked at the documents meticulously.

The document contained a plan to turn Hadong University into an agricultural college.

I promised her that I would revive the university by renting the Hadong University building.

“I believed that Kim Deok-myeong would keep his promise.”

she said with a smile.

“Thanks to the consideration of the president, the farmers in Jirisan were able to grow. Keeping promises is natural. Now, I want to revive Hadong University and also the local community.”

Then the door opened and a man entered.

This is Lee Byung-hwi, the governor of Hadong.

“I am a little late due to an event, sorry.”

Geum-ja Choi could not decide on Hadong University alone.

The consent of Ha Dong-gun is also necessary.

I handed Lee Byung-hwi a plan to save Hadong University.

Lee Byung-hwi looked at the documents and said.

“It’s an idea to resurrect Hadong University as an agricultural college.”

“What do you think of the governor’s opinion?”

“I am absolutely in favor. I am just grateful that CEO Kim Deok-myung came forward.”

In order to save the university, the help of the farmers in Jirisan is absolutely necessary.

Of course, the Hadong County Office had to support it to some extent.

“I especially like the part where a job is guaranteed. I think a lot of students will be interested.”

Lee Byung-hwi said with a satisfied expression on his face.

After graduating from agricultural college, not everyone could be a farmer.

Farming required land and capital. There was a good way to fix that part.

It guarantees employment for those who have graduated from college.

I was thinking of giving them a chance to become part of the Jirisan farmers.

Jirisan farmers needed labor not only in Hadong cultivation facilities, but also in Dubai and Europe.

I thought it was a good way to save the university and secure manpower for the farmers in Jirisan.

“I think it would be good to use the university even for farmers in difficult circumstances.”

I handed them one more document.

Choi Geum-ja and Lee Byung-hwi looked at the documents.

It provides educational opportunities to farmers, not students.

First of all, the target was determined by the farmers who suffered damage from the typhoon.

Lee Byung-hwi looked at the documents and asked with a surprised face.

“Are you renting out salad containers for free to farmers?”

“We plan to rent a salad container free of charge at the same time as training.”

“CEO Deok-myung Kim’s plans are great, but can you afford the finances?”

If the university is operating normally, the Hadong County Office will also have to invest a certain amount of budget.

Hadong County Governor Lee Byung-hwi is concerned about the budget.

“The farmer in Jirisan will be in charge of renting the salad container to the farmer.”

“Won’t it be a burden on Jirisan farmers?”

“That is no problem.”

I spoke lightly. The financial situation of Jirisan farmers was different from before.

That amount of money could be easily spent. That doesn’t mean they’re giving out salad containers for free, though.

It is to educate and rent salad containers to farmers who are struggling to make a living right now.

It was planned to be rented free of charge until it became profitable.

“Why are you trying to save the farmers so much?”

President Choi Geum-ja, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“Because I am not farming alone. Farming, unlike other industries, has no hope if only one person does well. If everything doesn’t go well together, the foundation will shake. We cannot save all the farmers, but we want to give hope.”

“Hope?”

“The hope is that it can happen again. Without hope, there is no future for agriculture.”

“Kim Deok-myeong is a warm person.”

Choi Geum-ja looked into my eyes and said.

“There are a lot of things that need to be prepared for the university to reopen. Before that, I would like to educate the farmers first. What do you two think?”

I looked at the two of them and asked.

“I am strongly in favor. It is possible to give hope to farmers as President Kim Deok-myung said.”

Hadong County Governor Lee Byung-hwi said with strength in his neck.

“I agree. And I want to help, even if it’s small, is it okay?”

Choi Geum-ja asked cautiously.

“of course.”

I didn’t just want to give you hope. I wanted to spread the cutting-edge agriculture to farmers.

I told the team leaders about things related to Hadong University.

“Hadong University will be the cradle of Jirisan farmers.”

Lee Dong-chun said with a smile.

“It is our turn to pay our debts. During that time, Hadong University has been used as an office and lab.”

Han Gi-tak said.

“I plan to educate farmers at Hadong University.”

“farmer?”

I told my colleagues that I would teach salad containers to farmers affected by the typhoon. He added that the rental of salad containers will take place at the same time as the training.

Han Ki-tak said with his eyes twinkling.

“It’s a good way for everyone to live together.”

“Iknow, right. I’m sorry that we seem to be doing so well. That’s a great idea.”

Lee Dong-chun nodded and said. All other co-workers said they agreed.

Thank you for their willingness to agree.

“I plan to entrust the education of farmers to young farmers.”

“Won’t I be better than the young farmer?”

Lee Dong-chun pointed to himself with his hand and said.

“Technician Lee Dong-chun is of course better. But now, our work is more important than education. I hope to select talented people from among the young farmers.”

“I agree with the president’s opinion. We are now fully operating our cultivation facilities. If even one of the people here is missing, it’s a big deal.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Min Yohan looked at his colleagues and said.

“Mr. Johan, please select young farmers who will also be in charge of education.”

“yes. Someone has already thought about it.”

Among the young farmers, there were those who even experienced the Dubai cultivation facility.

There were so many talented people out there. Those who were recognized for their skills were performing the duties of the part head.

“It’s about paying off Hadong University’s debt and saving the farmers. He is also our representative.”

Han Gi-tak raised his thumb and said.

Recruiting farmers for Hadong University was done quickly.

It was at a level where all you had to do was set a schedule and advertise.

This is because the facility that made salad containers at Hadong University remained intact.

After all preparations were made, the publicity work began.

It was used both online and offline.

This is because some farmers were still not familiar with online media.

I asked for an advertisement in a Korean newspaper with reporter Bae Seon-ah.

On the day I requested the advertisement, I received a call from reporter Bae Seon-ah.

she asked in a bright voice.

“Did you advertise in our newspaper?”

“I remember seeing reporter Bae thanks.”

“It is rather the opposite. It’s because I’ve seen more of Kim Deok-myung’s help.”

“is that so?”

“But is it true that we rent out salad containers for free to farmers?”

“It is limited to the farmers affected by the typhoon. It’s a structure that pays off when you make a profit later.”

“Isn’t this about making money?”

“Rather than money… … It’s for the future.”

“awesome.”

She asked for coverage before hanging up.

This is a special article related to Jirisan farmers.

I gladly allowed it.

“I think the core of this interview will be young farmers.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of articles will come out.”

I was scheduled to work overtime today.

While eating in the cafeteria, the phone rang.

It was Jeon Hae-ri, who became a family member with the Jirisan farmers.

She established the American corporation of Jirisan farmers and was active there.

I put down the spoon and answered the phone.

“Can I make a call?”

“Yes, tell me.”

“I have good news.”

“Is that good news?”

“I think Jirisan farmers will be active in the United States as well.”

“So, will our planting facilities be built in San Francisco?”

“The request came from outside of San Francisco.”

“Which area are you in?”

“It’s Alaska.”

Welfare in Alaska

Jeon-ri said that Alaska had requested a hydroponic plant.

Alaska was purchased by the United States from the Russian Empire in 1867. The money paid to buy Alaska was $7.2 million.

At that time, Alaska was considered useless land. The discovery of the world’s third largest oil field in 1960 transformed Alaska into a goose that lays golden eggs.

“It’s a self-run business in Alaska. It’s kind of a welfare project.”

“Is it a welfare project?”

“yes. It’s a project that puts salad containers in each village so you can eat vegetables for salad for free.”

“It’s an interesting idea.”

“The Jirisan farmers have taken over the business.”

* * *

I informed Han Ki-tak about the Alaska case.

“You mean that Alaska that borders the North Pole?”

“That’s Alaska.”

“You mean installing salad containers in every village?”

“It’s called a welfare project.”

“It’s salad welfare, because it’s Alaska, so it’s probably possible.”

As he said, it was a welfare policy that would be possible in Alaska.

Alaska is the only country in the United States to introduce a basic income system.

Basic living expenses are paid to residents regardless of property, income, or employment status.

It was a decision under the Alaska Constitution that ‘Alaska’s resources belong to the people’. Part of the income from oil and natural resources will be used to set up the Alaska Permanent Fund to provide a basic income.

“I think I will have to go to Alaska because of my contract.”

“Who are you making a contract with?”

“It’s a direct contract with the state of Alaska.”

“Then, are you going to meet the governor of Alaska?”

* * *

A departure date has been set for Alaska.

This trip was going on my own.

Before leaving for Alaska, I visited Hadong University.

Farmers affected by the typhoon had gathered. They were farmers from all over the country.

As there are many benefits, so many applicants flocked. We wanted to select all of them, but we could only accommodate about 30 people.

I stood before the peasants.

“This is Kim Deok-myeong, the representative of the Jirisan farmers. There is a saying that agriculture is the will of heaven. That is why the weather is so important to farming. The farmer may laugh or cry depending on the weather. Unfortunately, it must have been a difficult time this year due to the weather.”

Perhaps remembering the damage, some farmers had wet eyes.

“The reason we are conducting this training is to help you take another leap forward. Salad containers allow you to grow crops without the impact of typhoons. I hope the salad container is a little hope for you.”

Applause broke out.

I read the eyes of farmers.

They were talking with their eyes.

I will succeed in my recovery, and I will never fall again.

I got on a plane to Vancouver, Canada.

There was no direct flight to Alaska, so I had to change midway.

Suddenly, I remembered the time to go to Antarctica. It’s a long, long journey.

Arrived at Anchorage, Alaska.

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska. It was developed around the port.

When the Russian Empire ruled, the land was a wasteland.

When the United States took over Alaska, it became the largest city.

Jeollyi was out to meet her.

“Welcome to Alaska.”

Although it was summer, he was wearing a jacket. It was a cold country in the north.

“Would you like to go home first?”

She got the best hotel in Anchorage.

I changed into my suit and went out to the lobby.

“You must be tired, wouldn’t it be better to rest today?”

“it’s okay.”

“Then shall we go see the governor first?”

“good.”

There was an Alaska state government building in Anchorage.

I entered the state government building with Jeon Hae-ri.

The secretary guided us.

Pictures of past governors adorned the walls.

The current governor is Republican Chris Cusco.

Chris Cusco was a large white man.

he reached out to me

“This is Chris Cusco.”

“This is Kim Deok-myung.”

“Sit down.”

I sat on the sofa and looked around the room. Alaska’s Aboriginal photos stood out.

Showing interest in the photo, the governor smiled and said:

“This is a picture of our great-grandfather.”

I looked closely at Chris Cusco’s face.

It was quite different from the typical white face. Unlike the blue-eyed Westerners, his eyes were close to black.

“I have Native Alaskan blood, too.”

Chris Cusco said with a meaningful look.
