Chapter 38 The North American Redwoods and Wild Cherry Trees
"Sequoia?" Qiu Hao repeated a few words.
"Yes, redwoods, also known as North American redwoods, are the tallest trees in the world, native to California, USA, and can grow up to one hundred and twenty meters tall. When President Nixon visited China in the past seven years, he planted several redwoods and giant sequoia trees in Hangzhou, which were later introduced in many parts of the country. ”
"Elder Wang, how did these four giant sequoia trees come from, they couldn't have been planted by you since childhood, right?" Qiu Hao was stunned.
"It's not a giant sequoia, it's a redwood or a North American redwood, and the giant sequoia is another tree in the same family and can't be mixed up!"
Wang Yi first corrected it, and then said calmly: "Of course I didn't grow it since I was a child, I bought it with money from Zhoushan, Yunnan Province!"
"Oh, are there a lot of them in the country?" Qiu Hao said with some surprise.
"Yes, the redwoods planted by Nixon in Hangzhou at the beginning, once unadaptable, and then someone on the sequoia, cut off a branch and took it to Yunnan Province for cuttings, and found that the redwoods grew very well in Yunnan Province, so Yunnan Province began to promote this kind of tree, and now many of them have become timber, making up for the lack of wood in China, I heard that not only Yunnan Province, but also many provinces have planted, such as Sichuan Province, Lu Province, etc., it seems that even Tibetan areas have trial planting!" Wang Yishu said, his face occasionally flashing of memory.
Qiu Hao was quite surprised when he suddenly heard that sequoia could also be planted in Tibet, and asked with an expectant face: "Elder Wang, do you sell these sequoias?"
"Of course you want to sell, what, you want?"
Wang Yi had a smile on his mouth, and he understood Qiu Hao's mood, after all, he was like this when he was a year ago, and he had a strong desire to plant the plants he was interested in.
"yes, I want to take them home and plant them!" Qiu Hao blushed, feeling that he had become a child again at this moment.
"Where is it planted, is it planted next to your home, and you are not afraid that it will lead lightning to your house on a rainy day?" Wang Yi joked, but what he said was also true, the tree grew too tall, and it was indeed easy to attract thunder, which needs to be paid attention to.
Qiu Hao's eyelids jumped, and he said firmly: "I will be careful about this, Elder Wang, you say directly, how to sell these sequoias, if the price is right, I will want it!"
"Alas, 250,000 a plant, a total of 1 million, this is not to kill you, but because the sequoia itself is a fine wood, if you cut it down and make furniture, maybe you can still make money!" Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Ahem, it's not expensive, it's not expensive, I thought it was millions, so let's do it, I want all four of them, but they are all more than 20 meters high, and if you add the roots, they are at least 30 meters, which is longer than any carriage!" How do you ship it back, and how do you plant it? Qiu Hao rubbed his hands together and looked distressed.
"It's okay, I'll send someone to deliver it to the door, and then guide the planting of trees, you just need to draw a few circles on the ground!" Wang Yi said with a smile.
Qiu Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, there was Wang Lao who made a move, and there was nothing to worry about, so the two of them, who were in a cool mood, began to continue to wander again.
Ten minutes later, when Qiu Hao saw a fifteen-meter-high green tree, he couldn't move under his feet again, and Wang Yi was very familiar with his expression, this is another want to buy it!
Qiu Hao's eyes lit up, and he looked directly at the tree in front of him, its trunk is rare and straight, the branches are scattered and orderly, the crown is a regular tower type, the branches and leaves look lush and thriving, just a glance, you can feel that there is a positive energy filling the heart, very comfortable!
He saw that the leaves were jagged, and at first he thought it was an apple tree, but then he faintly felt that it was not, and asked, "Elder Wang, is this ......?"
"This is a wild cherry tree, which can grow to 25 meters in Qin Province in China, and three years ago, I saw that it was in good shape, so I spent money to move it. Pity! Many people are afraid that they can't grow cherries in Province G, and they haven't been able to sell them until now, if you kid want, I'll sell it to you for 150,000 yuan! Wang Yi said a reason, and then gave a moderate price.
Qiu Hao was calculating in his heart, before contracting 800 acres of mountainous land in Tibet, he had 50,000, and the 500,000 yuan he borrowed from Zhou Construction had already been repaid, and the 5.1 million he got from selling ginseng, and then he bought peach saplings, hired people to plant trees, and returned the 150,000 yuan of university alumni, and then bought pine, yew, and North American redwood, a total of 4.7 million yuan, so now there are only 250,000 yuan left, and if he buys the wild cherry tree in front of him, then he will only have 100,000 yuan left!
It's really a lot of money! Qiu Hao secretly thought in his heart, but he was still reluctant to miss this wild cherry tree, so he said: "Count it too, I want to plant it in the yard!"
Wang Yi said with relief: "Hehe, it seems that Xiaohao likes plants very much!"
Qiu Hao scratched his head and said: "That is, when I was a child, I thought that plants were very pure, so planting flowers and trees became my hobby!"
Next, Wang Yi also showed Qiu Hao the twenty-meter-high camphor tree, the five-centimeter-diameter rosewood tree, the bizarre apple tree of the wild variant, etc., Qiu Hao liked it very much, but he was shy in his pocket, so he just walked around and took a look......
………
Three days have passed, and after Qiu Hao came back from the Wang Seedling Base, he did a few more important things.
The first is to regather the reclamation team, on the 35 acres of mountainous land on Qingbei Mountain, dig a north-south direction, row after row of tree pits, a total of 1,000, just waiting for the arrival of pine and yew, if nothing else, the seedlings are coming today.
Second, in the corner of the courtyard of Qiu's house, four redwoods of 25 and 6 meters were planted in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the distance between them was 30 meters, so that passers-by always had the feeling of seeing three-dimensional squares when they walked through Qiu's house.
As for the wild cherry trees, they were planted by Qiu Hao in the vegetable garden outside the courtyard, so as to avoid competing with the redwoods in the yard for nutrients.
The third is to ignite the animal again. Not long ago, he came back from the Ice Age, so that Qiu Hao had 1,400 points of spiritual energy, and later when he killed the snake in Qingbei Mountain, he used 300 points of spiritual energy to dispel snake venom and heal his wounds, and there were only 1,100 points left.
Now Qiu Hao's dogs, except for a few puppies and wolf cubs who have just escaped from the category of small milk dogs, only gray mastiffs, small grays, big blacks, big reds, and little reds are suitable for ignition.
Among them, Qiu Hao chose to focus on turning the gray mastiff into a gray mastiff, and the reason was naturally that it was the most capable of fighting. After being ignited twice in a row and using up a total of 600 points of spiritual energy, the gray mastiff has also become a spirit dog, and the gray mastiff after the transformation has changed greatly, and it is like two mastiffs in the past, and the bursting and wildness seem to be gone forever, becoming as calm as the deep well of an ancient tree, with a little late-blooming temperament.
Qiu Hao used the last opportunity to ignite Da Hong, and its success rate was one percent higher than a month ago, reaching the level of forty percent, but Qiu Hao still didn't have much expectations, but it seemed that with God's blessing, Da Hong actually became a spirit dog.
In this way, the three wolf dogs recommended by Zhou Jianshe and placed high hopes on Qiu Hao, namely Kunming dog, German herd, and Soviet red, each pair has a civet dog!
The time slowly came to four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature dropped a little, and the east wind with two carriages of sixteen meters long came to the front of Fuyan Village, and soon, Qiu Hao knew that it was his own cherished sapling.
The old trick was repeated, more than a dozen tricycles were rented, and a thousand trees were moved to Qingbei Mountain one after another in the way of many people carrying the canopy, and this process lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, but it was only half of the transportation, and the other half needed to be carried out the next day.
At half past six in the morning of the 24th, the reclamation team of 50 people was expanded to 100 people, and then it was launched again, and finally at half past ten, all the seedlings were transported, and the next thing was to apply fertilizer, carry the trees into the pit to fill the soil, and water.
On a 35-acre square mountainous land, taking into account the problems of orientation and shading, in the rows of neat and neat, north-south tree pits, the first row is planted with Pinus tabuliformis plants, with a plant spacing of about six meters, the second row is planted with yew trees, with a plant spacing of about three meters, and then the third row is Pinus tabuliformis......
It is much easier to fill the soil and plant trees than to dig a pit, and with the efforts of everyone, by six o'clock in the afternoon, a thousand seedlings were finally planted, and at this time, the money in Qiu Hao's pocket also bottomed out.
The old secretary Wei Wanli wiped a handful of sweat and said tiredly: "Xiao Hao, what kind of pine and yew are you, how much did you spend when you bought it?"
Qiu Hao subconsciously looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Three million and seven million!"
"What, three hundred and seventy...... 10,000?"
Wei Wanli was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, a month or two ago, Qiu Hao suddenly spent one hundred and fifty thousand to contract Qingbei Mountain, which was enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect that until he found out that there was still a fog on this kid's body, and his ability was much bigger than he imagined.
"Yes, that's it!" Qiu Hao nodded, he felt a little speechless, it seemed that in the village, if he had money, he didn't build a house, he didn't ask for a wife, he didn't cultivate the wasteland, he didn't do his job.
"So much money, all sprinkled in thirty-five acres of four wasteland, an average of more than 100,000 per mu, you are not afraid of ......" Wei Wanli said anxiously, but those unfortunate words are really difficult to say.
"Are you afraid that they won't survive, or are you afraid of being stolen? Oh, what's there to be afraid of, I have the confidence to live them. As for stealing, hey! I think my character is passable, and I have never offended any of my fellow villagers, and I can't find this kind of evil thing with a lantern! Qiu Hao said calmly, his tone was full of strong confidence.
"Three million seven hundred thousand, thirty-five acres of land, if you still plant these two things in the future, three hundred acres, plus labor, wouldn't it cost ...... Thirty-two million, I'm obedient! ”
Wei Wanli picked up a tree stick and counted it on the ground, but was startled by the number he calculated.
Qiu Hao also felt a little numb on his scalp, in fact, a few days ago, he had thought about this problem, and he also thought about whether to continue, and then he thought that this was nothing more than a problem of funds, and the funds could be earned by selling ginseng, but the amount of human parameters consumed was a bit too much.
According to the calculation that a century-old ginseng can be sold for 2.5 million, 32 million will require 13 100-year-old ginseng, and it is not difficult to dig up such a large number of ginseng, and it can be obtained by pure ink and wash kung fu, but who will sell it to, Zhou Jianjian, Wang Yi, and what will be the subsequent impact?
"It's okay, I'll build it slowly when I have money in the future, and I will be able to complete it one day!" Qiu Hao said with a dry smile.
"Xiao Hao, since you are so rich, why don't you buy a set of sprinkler irrigation equipment, with this equipment, the forests of Qingbei Mountain are not afraid of drought!" Wei Wanli frowned.
"yes, how did I forget this, it's a pity that I don't have the money now, if I want to buy it, it will take a while." Qiu Hao patted his forehead and said, there is a small spring and a natural pool of ten square meters on Qingbei Mountain, but unfortunately the water did not flow down to moisten the mountain, as long as a set of irrigation equipment is added, those water resources can be fully utilized. This idea has been in place before, but I have been busy lately and I have forgotten about it.
"It's better as soon as possible, there is still a little light rain these days, and the trees that have just been planted are not a big problem, but if there is no rain in a few days, these trees will not be able to hold on!"
"Well, I remember!" Qiu Hao replied casually.
Wei Wanli looked at Qiu Hao, who was a little stunned, and sighed, as if he still had something to say, and he wanted to stop talking.
"Lord Wanli, do you have anything else to say?" Qiu Hao's eyes were sharp, and he wondered.
"Xiao Hao, since it is so easy for you to make money, have you ever thought about building your hometown, for example, to help the village build a road, from our village to Lanjia Town!" Wei Wanli groaned.
Some time ago, Fuyan Village got one million and fifty thousand from Qiu Hao to contract Qingbei Mountain, of which 200,000 was used to repair roads, but Fuyan Village was two kilometers away from Lanjia Town, and 200,000 could barely build a cement road, but the width of the road and the thickness of the cement were hehe, so Wei Wanli hoped that Qiu Hao could make persistent efforts and spend more money to build a good road.
"Ahem! This... Of course, I will! ”
Qiu Hao choked, was said by the old secretary a little can't raise his head, contracting barren mountains, hiring people to open up wasteland and plant trees or something, although it can increase the income of the villagers, but this is a kind of labor income, and the nature of doing public welfare is different, the two are not comparable, the old man is telling him not to be rich and unkind, not to pull out a dime, to do more good deeds, brush up fame!
