Chapter 359: Afforestation
The withered yellow seeds all over the mountain reveal a little pink and white, that is the bud of the mountain peach blossoms, they are budding, once there are several consecutive sunny days, the direct sunlight is more intense, these small flowers will suddenly bloom one day, so that the mountains are full of their figures. = But this is only the sunny side of the mountain, if you turn to the yin side, there is another world, the snow has not melted in the first two months, the cold and hard north wind blows the stones are about to crack, there are no flowers here, there are no buds, only ice and snow.
The spring in the northern mountains is this virtue, the very power of the eye, whoever is facing the sun will be brilliant, whoever is in the north of the hillside, who has to consider himself unlucky, it is a month later than the south slope to usher in the warm spring breeze, so although they are all stone mountains, the location is different, which also determines the difference in the way of survival, and it is impossible to force it.
At this time, Hong Tao and his uncle stood next to the ruined temple, watching several engineers and technicians using instruments to measure, and the hillside around the small temple was sparsely filled with hundreds of young people, and among them, there were some local farmers wearing patched clothes and pants. The farmers are teaching the young people how to dig pits, how to cover the soil, how to water them, and there are bundles of saplings around them.
"You lack virtue, use the students in your school to help plant trees on your own barren mountain!" The little uncle looked at the students who were trembling by the mountain wind, and said the true meaning in one sentence.
"Next week, the students from Middle School 157 and Middle School 53 will also come, and you will have to follow when the time comes, it's okay. I'll accompany you, be righteous!" Hong Tao held a wooden board with a piece of paper sandwiched on it. Nominally, the engineering team borrowed him to help record the number of measurements, but in fact, it was the laziness of Hongguoguo, otherwise he would have to go with him to plant trees.
"I don't have to work, I'll come here, and I'll have fun, by the way, I'll bring your camera with me next week." I see that the peach blossoms on this mountain are about to bloom, didn't you listen to the captain of the wheat, here is beautiful in spring all year round. The mountains are full of peach blossoms. "Uncle Xiao's mind is not on planting trees at all, let alone on the broken temple, in his opinion, Hong Tao is all blind tossing. It's better to climb the mountain and take pictures with Gao Yan.
"Hmm. It's really beautiful, in a few years, when my trees grow, it will be even more beautiful......" Hong Tao imagined the scene a few years later, and he was very proud.
"What kind of saplings did you ask my eldest brother-in-law to buy for you? I heard from fellow villagers that these are not serious trees, and they won't grow in a hundred years, so why don't you plant some good trees?" the little uncle kicked a bundle of saplings on the ground, his expression was very disdainful.
"You don't understand that. I went to the university and asked other professors, and they said. This mountain peach tree and mountain apricot tree are the most drought-resistant, cold-resistant, and barren-resistant, you see the stone crevices on the hillside, all of them are this thing, and when they grow up, not only bloom beautifully, but also wild mountain apricots to eat. I also bought serious saplings, but there are not many of them, just plant them around the small temple, and it is easy to cause trouble if you plant too much, you don't understand this. Hong Tao did ask his father to find him a few university professors and ask him how to plant trees in the barren mountainous area.
The professors recommended him a total of four tree species, among which Pinus tabuliformis and Arborvitae orientalis are tall evergreen trees, while mountain peach and apricot trees are low deciduous trees. The first two kinds of trees can not only green barren mountains, but also can nurture trees into timber, have relatively large economic benefits, the latter two kinds of trees can also green barren mountains, but can not become any materials, the mountain peach is good, the mountain apricot is good, eat is edible, but not to talk about the benefit.
Benefits, Hong Tao doesn't value it, the more effective things are, the more reluctant he is to plant. If ten years later, this barren mountain is greened by him, and the saplings have grown, which passing uncle, princeling, and second generation will take a look, yo, this place is very good, lush, come, transfer it to me, I will not lose you, I will give it to you at the price ten years ago! What do you say you should do?
So, Hong Tao decided to plant these low trees, at most they bloom in spring, and in summer and the mountain is full of thorns is a virtue, and in winter, when the leaves of the trees fall off, it is still a barren mountain, and a small piece of forest on the top of the mountain is left.
As for the students who planted trees, they would never know that this was a bad idea from Hong Tao, and they didn't know that this was a barren mountain contracted by Hong Tao's family, which was all discussed with the school by the eldest aunt, anyway, in the spring of every year, the students had to come out to respond to the Arbor Day.
Moreover, the principal of Hongtao Middle School is more fraternal, this kind of good thing can't be enjoyed secretly by just one school, and the brother school also has to take care of it. So from the beginning of March to the end of April, almost every week, hundreds of students from a middle school came to volunteer, and even if each person dug three pits and planted three saplings, that would be tens of thousands of saplings planted, and according to the density of 100 trees per acre, 100 acres of mountainous land would be planted.
In fact, the main force of tree planting is not these students, and the afforestation of barren mountains is to enjoy various preferential policies and subsidies from the state, such as small interest-free loans, saplings per mu or cash subsidies, and so on. Since it is still the key three-north shelterbelt area of national planning, and it is the last barrier in the north of the capital, the subsidy per mu of land is 2 yuan higher than that of other places, and it is much cheaper to buy saplings in designated nurseries.
Hong Tao didn't ask for a penny of these subsidies and loan rights, and gave them all to the village, and the only condition was that every year during the agricultural slack, the village would send people to help him plant saplings and patrol the mountains. You don't need a variety a year, 200 acres is OK, which is nothing to a village, don't look at these students digging a pit and planting a tree so hard, a villager an hour, just three or five students a day's labor, the quality is better.
Whether it is the captain of the wheat planting team or the village party secretary, they all fully support Hong Tao's request, in their opinion, planting a few saplings can be exchanged for state subsidies and interest-free loans, this is simply a pie in the sky, the burden of farmers in this era is still very heavy, and the income from farming is not high, so Hong Tao is a great benevolent person again!
As for how many of these saplings can survive, Hong Tao thinks that as long as they can leave three achievements, on the contrary, the captain of the wheat planting team is more optimistic, she estimates that they can survive seventy percent, because these things planted by Hong Tao were originally grown on the mountain, they are afraid of waterlogging and drought, as long as there is no rain this summer, they will not lose too much.
In addition to planting trees, there is also the problem of repairing this small temple, according to the construction of engineering and technical personnel, this small temple should not be repaired at all, and it should be rebuilt after cleaning it up. For this question, Hong Tao has no opinion, but only emphasized a problem, that is, don't build too well, the more inconspicuous the appearance, the better, it's best not to even paint the red wall, probably there is a temple meaning, as for what kind of Buddha is put in the main hall, Hong Tao's answer is that the cheaper the better.
The key issue is not the temple, but the backyard of the temple, where several houses must be built, the appearance must be frustrated, and the interior decoration must be good and comfortable. There is a kang on the plate in the house, and it is best to have a fire wall, and then a well is drilled in the yard, and then a motor is made, and two persimmon trees are planted. Behind the courtyard wall, there is a cemetery hidden between the green pines, but now there are no green pines, and there is no cemetery, only the three small earthen bags of the second master, his father, daughter-in-law, son and daughter-in-law, are still on the drawings.
The barren mountain temple here has not yet been neatly settled, and Captain Wang, who specializes in undertaking ancient buildings under his aunt, called him again to tell him that his small courtyard had been completely renovated, so that he was free that day and went to check it in person.
Shoes-free fasting!Crystal Palace! Conservatory!
These are the three names that Hong Tao gave to his small courtyard, and the first name expresses the connotation of the courtyard, because the ground is full of gems. But at present, there is nothing in the yard, just a freshly paved grass, and then a cross-shaped blue brick trail in the middle separates the green grass of the yard and connects the rooms in the north, south, east and west.
The second name is to describe the appearance of this courtyard, the high courtyard wall, no longer empty, but then grow a layer of transparent glass, with an alloy frame firmly fixed on the wall, the roof, with the rise and fall of the building and meandering, the whole courtyard is covered under a large glass cover, with the word crystal palace to describe, really appropriate.
There are two sets of exhaust fans on the south and north sides of this large glass cover, and these two groups of six exhaust fans can replace the air in the entire yard in a very short time, a group of three fans on the south side is the air intake, and a group of three fans on the north side is the exhaust fan. In fact, if you look closely, you can still see that there is a spiral escalator on the metal column in the middle of the yard, which leads to the glass roof.
If you go up from here, you can enter the glass roof, where there is a glass platform of about 10 square meters with handrails. According to the requirements of the engineering and technical personnel, it can carry a weight of 800 kilograms, which is why a thick metal column like a telephone pole is erected in the middle of the yard, if this glass platform is not needed, there is no need for an additional pillar in the yard, but in the end Hong Tao still chose to leave this platform.
The third name is to describe the effect of this yard, such a large glass cover, and it is tightly buckled above the yard, although it is not completely sealed, but if you lose the two sets of air supply and exhaust fans, the yard will be uncomfortable. Even in the clear winter, the temperature here is quite high, because it is actually a better quality large glass conservatory, those thick glass sandwiched with transparent glue, can allow the heat radiation of the sun to cover every corner of the yard efficiently, and then faithfully block the temperature loss in the hood, if you install some artificial sprinkler equipment, it can quickly become a tropical rainforest greenhouse.
