Once Qu Jici walked out of the office, all the people in the yard cast their eyes on him.
He was taken aback for a moment, then he came back to his senses and greeted everyone with a smile: "Come on, follow me, let's go to work."
Although he is the head of the Purchasing Department, the Environmental Protection Association is not a big rich organization. It's no different.
He led people to the warehouse to take out the saplings of sand-grown locust trees, and then everyone rode in the back of the truck and rushed to the Maquan River beach that Luo Ying mentioned.
Maquan River is actually the name of the source and upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and there is a national highway - G219 near it.
On one side of the national road is a river beach. Because the sand on the river beach spreads, many sand dunes appear on both sides of the national road, which is the area with the most severe desertification.
Two dilapidated trucks came near the river beach and stopped slowly. The people on the trucks began to get out of the trucks one after another, and then slowly unloaded the tools and saplings from the trucks. When they were ready, they could start working.
Looking at the towering sand dunes on the river beach, everyone was in a bad mood.
You must know that more than ten years ago, this place was still a pasture.
The clear water flows downstream surrounded by fertile aquatic plants, and that beautiful scene still remains in the hearts of some elderly herdsmen.
"It's getting worse and worse. This wind and sand is really harmful."
Zhaxi Baza was also a person who was lucky enough to see the water plants growing near the Maquan River, so he couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
He remembered that when he was a child, his father took him here on a horse to play. At that time, there was not a grain of sand here, which was really great.
Unexpectedly, in just over ten years, overgrazing made the grass here less and less, and the river sand began to wreak havoc, and even the river water was diverted and dried up on a small scale. Since then, the sandstorm has become a nightmare for swollen people .
"What is this? I heard that the restricted area in Lao Yadong is even more severe. They are all sand dunes. When the wind and sand hang up, people can be buried alive. No one dares to enter."
There are a lot of gossip about Duoji Danzeng, and there is nothing he doesn't know about the ten li and eight townships in Zongba County.
"That's amazing!"
Zhaxi Baza couldn't help but asked, "Is this what your kid told you?"
"Yes, that's what Danzhen Gabe told me. He just went to Laoyadong a few days ago."
Duoji Danzeng's son Danzhen Jiabu is a truck driver. He bought the car with a loan from the government. He usually helps people transport building materials. He earns a lot of money and can get a lot of news.
Tashi Baza was the last herdsman to leave Laoyadong when Zongba County was moving. He always had resentment in his heart, thinking that it was because he left late that he didn't get a good pasture.
But now, after hearing Duoji Danzeng's words, he felt fortunate that he left anyway, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do now that Lao Zhadong had become like this.
Duoji Danzeng continued: "Now the county has hired a construction team to control the sand, and made a lot of grass squares. I heard that the grass is shipped from other places, which is very expensive."
Zhaxi Baza knew that the county hired a construction team to make grass grids and bought grass at high prices from other places as raw materials.
Zhongba is a county mainly engaged in pure animal husbandry, and all the people in the county make a living from animal husbandry.
Usually herdsmen raise cattle and sheep at home, and they use the pasture of their own pastures, which is not enough, so no one is willing to take out the pasture to make grass squares.
If the county wants to control sand, it can only be purchased from other places at a high price, which costs a lot of money every year.
Moreover, the desertification in the restricted area is more serious than other places, and the strength of the herdsmen alone is not enough, so the work there will be done by construction teams, which is also a place where money is spent.
To put it bluntly, the county spent a lot of money on sand control, and it was the same for the 500,000 yuan spent on saplings this time.
When unloading the saplings, Zhaxi Baza took a closer look at these saplings called sand-born locust trees, and felt that there was nothing special about them.
He remembered that he had seen this kind of plant by the river before, and it was not at all eye-catching.
"Can this thing control sand?"
Zhaxi Baza had deep doubts.
He felt as if he knew the reason for Researcher Luo's temper.
Such a small sapling costs one yuan, not including the freight to bring it back, which is really too expensive.
After everything is ready, everyone can finally start working.
The herdsmen split up, some measured the location, some rolled the straw in circles and stretched it into a long strip, and some pulled the long strips of hay to the measured position and laid them... Just like this, the grass grids were criss-crossed. fight.
After the grass grid was laid out, Qu Ji Cidan led the people to plant saplings in the thatched house, trying to follow Luo Ying's previous instructions, planting next to the river beach.
"Dig the hole as deep as possible, about three feet, and then put it down carefully, so as not to hurt its roots..."
"That's right, plant one plant every other grass square, don't get too close...ah, why, because the roots of this sand-grown locust tree will split in the future... What does split mean, um, it means to reproduce by itself, and then grow new ones , so we're going to give them some space..."
"Irrigate some water after planting, don't need too much, there is water under the ground of the river beach, they can grow over by themselves, they can reach it..."
Qu Ji Cidan received simple training when he was in Muya, and he knew how to plant these sandy locust trees, so he has been walking back and forth, inspecting, correcting the mistakes of the herdsmen, and telling them how to plant them.
After busying for half a day, five thousand locust trees have already been planted.
This trip, Quji Cidan only brought 10,000 plants out, and he planned to let the herdsmen practice their skills first.
There is no way, this thing is too expensive, I would rather plant it slowly and keep them alive, and not let the herdsmen accidentally spoil them to death.
But this is too fast. I feel that if we plant at this speed, the 500,000 plants will be all planted in less than half a month.
"Too fast... I don't know how many will survive."
Qu Ji Cidan thought a little anxiously.
Before, he was full of confidence in front of Luo Ying, but now, looking at those newly planted locust trees, and seeing them swaying in the wind and looking weak, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. stand up.
Because the plants of Sophora japonica are very small, it is easy to plant and not tiring at all. The herdsmen are very energetic in "planting".
After more than an hour, the remaining 5,000 sand-growing locust trees were all planted, faster than before.
There is no way, the herdsmen are all year-round working people, and they quickly become proficient, so the speed naturally becomes much faster, without stopping at all.
Qu Ji Cidan thought about it, and went to tell the truck master to go back and bring another 10,000 locust trees.
These sandy locust trees have been out of the seedling field for a while, and it is best to plant them in the field as soon as possible.
