Chapter 012: Planting Trees

In about half an hour, an ancient tree had been placed on each of the four frame cars, and the harnesses were also hung with hooks, Yan Shanhu and the others were divided into four groups of three people each, riding directly on the ancient trees, and began to beat the reins to control their own nine horses, and one after another the frame cars drove out of the drying field and came in the direction of the pasture.

Because it was the first time, Lu Xiancheng also rode on the furnace dust to follow the team, in addition to the four rack cars and Lu Xiancheng, there were more than a dozen people who might feel that the excitement had not seen enough, and they actually rode their own horses and hung behind the team. If it was in the novel, Lu Xiancheng would have thought that he had encountered a horse bandit, but now he won't talk about it.

At the beginning, Lu Xiancheng was still a little worried about what would happen to the frame car from time to time, but after walking half the way, he put his heart back in his stomach, seeing that not only was it easy for nine horses to pull up the tree, but the frame car was also quite powerful, and all the horses did not take a breath after walking half the way.

As soon as he was in a good mood, Lu Xiancheng took the reins a little and slowed down, waiting for the spectators behind him to follow.

Who knew that this gang of people Lu Xiancheng was slow and they were also slow, Lu Xiancheng was almost out of touch with the carriage for almost a hundred meters, and these people still kept a distance of about thirty meters from Lu Xiancheng.

"Didn't you follow the carriage, but followed me? Something? Lu Xiancheng took the reins, and after the furnace dust crossed the horse's head and crossed the road, he said loudly to the gang of 'hanging boot ghosts' behind him.

As soon as they heard what Lu Xiancheng said, three or four people in this group immediately stepped forward on horseback.

When these people arrived in front of the furnace dust, an embarrassing thing happened, the shoulder height of the furnace dust of one meter and seven meters originally belonged to the horse, and Lu Xiancheng himself was also one meter eight tall, this person and a horse added up to be very 'not short'.

But look at the three people who came up. The tallest horse is only a little more than one meter and three heads, and one of them is even a little more than one meter and two, this kind of shoulder height stands in front of the furnace dust, saying that it is a donkey is praising it, and comparing the two to this group of visitors is like a half-sized dog.

Not only Lu Xiancheng felt this way, but others also thought the same way. When they arrived at Lu Xiancheng, although everyone was riding horses, these people were stunned to look up at the young man in his twenties in front of them, and before he could say anything, the faces of the three of them turned red first.

The people who were far away laughed heartlessly first. This group of people laughed, and the faces of these people in front of Lu Xiancheng became even redder, and one of them was about to turn into a red cloth.

When there was an older man who seemed to be more knowledgeable, he blushed a little and quickly recovered, and opened his mouth to Lu Xiancheng and asked, "Do you breed this horse well?" ”。

Hearing this person's question, Lu Xiancheng shook his head: "If it's a horse of the same breed, it's okay." That's all for you to ride! ”。

"I can give a little more money, it's fine!" After the old man said a word, he probably didn't think it was appropriate, so he smiled first: "But don't have too much!" ”。

Lu Xiancheng said: "It's not a matter of breeding fees! It's your mare that is too small, and my horses are quite big! ”。

Some time ago, Lu Xiancheng read a lot of information, talking about why China itself can't breed 'tall horses', the reason is, of course, there are few stallions, and the breeding technology of horses is backward, etc., but a very important one is that China does not have a tall breeding base horse. That is, the breeding mare is generally small, so that the pony can think about the rest when she is pregnant with a big foal. What will be the result of the ancient horse breeding technology in China.

Now the horses in the pasture are also lower in size, even these Arabian horses are two or thirty centimeters taller than these horses, and it is one thing for the country to use Arabian horses to improve horse breeds, and it is another thing for Lu Xiancheng to talk nonsense.

For these people, a horse is estimated to be related to the livelihood of these people's whole family, because the foal is too big and has two corpses, so what should be done? Besides, Lu Xiancheng also has his own plans. How can you fool around.

The old man thought for a moment and did not speak, but his face saw that this person was very inappropriate.

Lu Xiancheng didn't bother to say anything here, so he directly took the head of the horse and prepared to catch up with the frame car in front.

"How much do you sell this horse? Stallion! At this time, another person in his forties who looked like he was in his early fifties hurriedly stopped Lu Xiancheng, who was leaving, and said.

As long as you are not stupid, you can guess it, this person still wants to match the horse. Breed with a large stallion.

Lu Xiancheng said: "Sixty thousand horses!" ”

"So expensive! 60,000 yuan to buy a horse? ”。

The number of 60,000 made this group of people almost fall off immediately, and these people are all combined, and the family can't earn 60,000 yuan without eating or drinking all year round. So as soon as these people heard Lu Xiancheng quote this price, they thought that Lu Xiancheng was a lion with his mouth wide open, and in their minds, even if it was a foreign horse, it was also a horse, three or four times more than the domestic horse, that is, about 10,000.

"It costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy the cheapest one in the United States, and then go through the US Customs and then through the Chinese Customs, and it will take several months of quarantine time in the meantime...... Lu Xiancheng made a small calculation for these people, and the price has already passed 60,000 yuan before he calculates, you must know that Marco has to pay taxes.

Now if you buy a horse from the United States, even if the price is not high, the price of 60,000 yuan can be so low that it can't be lower. As for Lu Xiancheng's low price, it is Lu Xiancheng's own ability, it is impossible to sell the horse to a group of people who are not related to him at a cost of twenty or thirty thousand, and besides, it is not money that Lao Lu spends time tossing around.

Listening to Lu Xiancheng's calculations, most of these guys were not interested in following anymore, so they turned their heads and walked back.

Only a man about thirty years old came up on his horse and ran a few steps to catch up with Lu Xiancheng.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Lu Xiancheng turned his head and asked, "What else is going on?" ”。

"Huh! Smoke? This person walked up to Lu Xiancheng, smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, more than 20 cigarettes a pack is obviously not what this person usually smokes.

Lu Xiancheng waved his hand and said, "I don't usually smoke this."

The man smiled and put the cigarette back in his pocket: "I don't smoke either, I just put it on my body to put on my face!" ”。

Lu Xiancheng smiled a little bit, because the cigarette that this person took out just now was not opened at all, and there was a chance that he would want to return it when he went back.

Looking at this person and smiling, Lu Xiancheng did not speak.

The two rode side by side for such a fast five minutes. This one asked, "Can you still sell that grass seed?" ”。

"You want to buy grass seeds?" Lu Xiancheng was immediately interested when he heard this person's question, and now in addition to himself, it is the old man Shen's family who has embarked on the ranch project, not to mention the people from other villages, and You Jiawa, who lives close at hand, is like this, and he does not have too many expectations for Lu Xiancheng in other villages.

I didn't expect to let myself meet a bold one today! Just thinking about planting grass.

Lu Xiancheng naturally knew that as long as these people were willing to use a little heart, they would have learned from the past in their previous lives, and there was no need to say much about it. But now, there are not many people rushing to eat this 'crab'. Of course, Lu Xiancheng will not waste saliva to persuade others, Lu Xiancheng will not do this.

"Hmmm! I want to try it, anyway, I have saved a little money by working for others in the past two years, so I will buy some small livestock to raise first! ......" This one talked about his situation to Lu Xiancheng.

After hearing this, Lu Xiancheng felt that he had forgotten that China was conservative but absolutely indispensable to speculators, and when the Chinese peasants went crazy, the whole land would tremble. The one in front of him is quite bold, and he is going to get a bank loan to get more than 1,000 acres of wasteland to plant grass, and he will prepare thousands of sheep and two or three hundred cattle in the first year.

Lu Xiancheng looked at this unassuming man and said: This little cowardly is too fat. The mind of the direct hit is to play with loans!

"Then you go to Youjiawa, and when you get there, just look for Professor Wen and ask him to buy seeds, and the seeds of one acre of land are more than 20 yuan" Lu Xiancheng originally sold the seeds, as for who buys it, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't sell it, Lu Xiancheng doesn't care.

Of course, it would be better to sell the country, such as the United States or something, Lu Xiancheng didn't mind playing the property rights department.

The man nodded when he heard this: "That's not expensive, it just so happens that I have some money in my hand now, so I'll go and see it today!" ”。

"Not today. Professor Wen is busy planting trees over there," Lu Xiancheng said.

Then the man said, "Then I'll go to your side and see if you don't mind."

"I don't mind if it's only on the periphery, but you don't want to walk around in the ranch," Lu Xiancheng said.

"It should. Yes, my name is Liu Haidong, from Liu Tangwang Village in the east," the man introduced himself.

Lu Xiancheng and Liu Haidong chatted while following the cart until they reached the foot of their ranch.

Although it is a small hill, there is still a slope since it is a hill. Even if it is around that slope, it still exists, not to mention that Lu Xiancheng is also interested in winding around the contour line around the hill.

After entering the pasture directly from the east gate of the pasture, it was almost up the slowest slope, and the nine horses pulled a large tree pole to the ridge in one breath, and when it was time to go downhill, the old adage was answered. It's easy to go up the hill and hard to go down.

Fortunately, the big trees are not planted in small valleys, and the farmers also have their own stupid methods, although the methods are stupid but very effective, dozens of people pull the rope behind the frame car, shouting the number, and slowly step by step to put the frame car to the mountainside, and it took about ten minutes, and the four big ancient trees were moved to the edge of the pit where they were going to 'settle'.

Because the root balls are wrapped in straw ropes, as soon as the tree reaches the edge of the pit, a group of people are busy untying the straw rope or something, and the untied straw rope is thrown directly into the tree pit.

Lu Xiancheng looked at the tree pit curiously and found that although the soil inside was gray and black, he couldn't help asking: "What is there in here!" The soil has changed like this." Obviously, the soil in the pit would not be gray and black, because the mound dug out of the pit next to it was still ochre-colored.

"The rooting powder prepared by our professor is guaranteed to be better than the one bought!" A graduate student standing next to Lu Xiancheng said.

"Rooting powder? It can't be some kind of chemical agent, right? Lu Xiancheng suddenly became a little nervous when he heard this. As soon as he heard about rooting powder, Lu Xiancheng easily understood that it became additives and other things, such as industrial products not only polluting the environment but also destroying the soil, for every piece of land on his own land, Lu Xiancheng is very small.

"Don't worry, it's natural"

After listening to the student's words, Lu Xiancheng was relieved.

The next tree planting is not technical, one by one it is all by 'brute force', and the tools are very simple, ropes and shovels solve the problem.

Ropes are used to drag the trees into the pits, and then pull the trees up with the combined efforts of the people, and then fill in the soil and put on the supports, so that the trunks, which are more than a meter thick, can stand straight here before they grow long roots.

As for the rack car, it turned around and continued back to the town to transport the next batch of ancient trees.

When the four trees were erected, Lu Xiancheng suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery was unusual, although the crown and branches had been cut off, but these thick ancient trees still made Lu Xiancheng feel very special, there were no lush branches and leaves, but Lu Xiancheng felt like four totem poles standing in his eyes.

Magnificent!

Lu Xiancheng made up the scene when hundreds of ancient trees were erected in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: the hundred-year-old trees were once obtained!

Well, it's good to be rich! (To be continued.) )
