Chapter 5: Small Goals
With thirty saplings from the first day, Lin Han returned to the forest area and began to prepare for planting.
The trees on Qinglin Mountain are dense and abundant, and it is not easy to find an open and fertile place.
After all, fertile places are mostly occupied by trees, while open areas are often barren.
It takes two acres of land to plant a thousand trees.
So, Lin Han had no choice but to take the management station as the center and began to choose around.
After some selection, he found four large open plots, about two and a half acres in total, and the soil was relatively fertile, so it should not be a problem to plant trees.
The four open spaces are located in the east, west, north and south of the management and protection station, so Lin Han named them East Garden, West Garden, South Garden, and North Garden respectively, and decided to start planting from the East Garden first.
Because the seedlings I bought were all small seedlings, which were not much bigger than some grasses, and they were extremely delicate. Lin Han was worried about being eaten by some animals, so after thinking about it, he decided to simply make a fence and protect the half acre of land in the East Garden first.
In this way, when he finally collected a bunch of branches and began to fence them, he gradually realized that planting trees was not as simple as he imagined.
"Boss, this task doesn't seem to be that simple. While bending over the fence, Lin Han rubbed his sore old waist.
Gaia was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you find it difficult to run?"
"Who can't run, of course it's easy. Lin Han moved his body and said disapprerovitically.
"But isn't running tiring?" said Gaia, "and you can't deny the simplicity of something just because you're tired." ”
Lin Han was speechless by a word, so he had to continue to fence the fence stupidly.
However, he was quite touched by Gaia's words. In reality, there are some people who envy the ease of other people's work, but do not realize the difficulty and complexity of others' work, and complain that their work is very hard, but they are unwilling to admit that their work is actually very simple.
In this world, heroes are never judged by hard work.
Of course, Lin Han understands this truth, and the reason why he still complains about the hard work of the fence is actually just a little thinking about "raising salary".
After all, he is just a forest ranger, with meager savings, and the cost of the saplings alone is more than 2,000, which will inevitably make him feel a little painful, and he wishes he could ask for more benefits.
"In fact, there are a lot of treasures on this Qinglin Mountain. Gaia said suddenly.
Obviously, Gaia saw through his little bit of caution, which made Lin Han blush.
Despite this, when he heard the news, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask: "Then, shouldn't the cost of the saplings be reimbursed?"
Gaia said a little helplessly: "For the sake of you being so poor, I will reimburse you." But I'll only tell you about the smallest treasure, and you won't have to think about the big one for a while. ”
After all, it is a treasure, no matter how small it is, how small can it be?
"Where's the treasure?" Lin Han's heart pounded.
"Let's finish planting today's tree first. Gaia rolled her eyes.
"Okay, I'm sure I'll get the job done!"
Since knowing the news of the treasure, Lin Han's waist is no longer sore, his legs are no longer painful, and he has to work hard.
After quickly enclosing the half-man-high fence, he began to dig pits and pad the soil in preparation for planting trees.
Since the seedlings he bought did not have soil balls, after digging the tree pit, he had to first pad the soil at the bottom of the pit, and the soil was in a semi-circular pile, and then the seedlings were inserted.
Once the saplings are planted, the next step is to fill in the soil. The soil should be filled layer by layer, and each layer should be stepped on, and then the soil should be filled.
When the planting is complete, water it a little more to actually plant the sapling. Of course, this is just planting, and if you want to survive, you will have to take care of it more in the future.
Thirty saplings, it took Lin Han three or four hours to finally finish planting. When the planting was finished, it was past noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the sweat on his body was almost soaking his clothes.
"Whew, it's finally planted. Lin Han looked at the delicate thirty seedlings on the ground, a faint sense of accomplishment arose, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Then, after closing the fence, he carried the shovel and other tools to the station.
Along the way, he didn't forget to ask Gaia, "Can you tell me where the treasure is now?"
"Well, that treasure is so close that it can be walked in an hour. If you want to go, I can show you the way. Gaia said.
Lin Han asked with some curiosity, "When was that treasure?"
"It was about a hundred years ago, and I didn't pay much attention to it because it was so small. Anyway, it was hidden by one person, so there must not be many things, and the time is close, so it should be the lowest value among the treasures of Qinglin Mountain. Gaia said slowly.
A hundred years ago?
It should be the Republic of China period, when there were wars and wars, and private treasure hiding should be a relatively common behavior.
"That's right, Gaia. You said that there are other treasures on Qinglin Mountain, what is the situation?"
"There are indeed a lot of treasures in Qinglin Mountain, from the pre-Qin to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there are basically all dynasties. Gaia said slowly, "The treasure here is very ordinary. There is only one ancient tomb, which is quite magnificent, but if you compare it with so many treasures in the world, it is not very good. ”
Gaia's nonchalant tone made Lin Han's heart burn.
There are so many treasures in just one Qinglin Mountain, one can imagine what a terrifying amount of treasures in the world will be.
It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of gold and silver!
"There are many treasures in the world, but you won't be able to dig them up. After all, there are huge treasures, once excavated, will have a serious impact on the ecological environment. Gaia added, "Moreover, the influx of huge wealth will also have a huge impact on human society, and in the end, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses." Therefore, the treasures I will tell you later will only account for a very small part of the world. ”
"Well, I thought I could dig all over the world......
Gaia suddenly smiled: "Actually, as long as you dig out one percent of these treasures, you will be tired of gold and silver treasures." ”
One percent of the world's treasure is still an astronomical number.
Lin Han didn't know how many treasures there were in the world, but he had seen a data on shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea.
According to statistics, at least 200,000 ships have sunk in the ocean around the world since 1500. The total value of these wrecks is at least $6 trillion, equivalent to the national GDP of 2010, or the equivalent of eight Apple companies today.
The world's treasures are certainly far more than these wrecks, and their value of one percent is definitely much more than that of China's richest man.
Lin Han walked to the management station, and said as he opened the door: "The realm of treating money as dung is still too far away for me. Now I'd better set a small goal first......"
