Chapter 257 Afforestation
257Afforestation
"Little sister, what are you doing out here? Go back, go back, look, there's going to be wind and sand again soon." Xin Cui saw Xin Wan wearing a felt hat coming over again, and quickly urged her to go back.

She was extremely grateful to her sister. Now that she was in such a place, her life was still pretty good.

Xin Wan brought an apple to her and said, "Leave me alone and eat this quickly."

There is no one around in this area except Ban Yue who is following her. The secret guards in the dark have been trained by Songbu Ya. Xin Wan also used the spiritual creatures in the space to make loyalty pills and eat them. No one will expose her. secret.

Xin Cui had no choice but to worry about getting her sister into trouble, so she quickly ate the fruit first, feeling grateful and warm in her heart.

Xin Wan looked at the low slope on one side. This large area in a good location was covered with green wheat fields.

"Master, the wind and sand are too strong, which affects the yield of green wheat." Ban Yue said.

Xin Wan has been thinking about planting trees recently. After all, there are many kinds of trees in the space. Elm trees and locust trees are all trees that can withstand wind and sand, but there are none in this area, and she can't conjure them out of thin air.

At present, we can only use sea buckthorn tree seeds to raise seedlings first. No matter whether it works or not, we always have to try. In previous lives, sea buckthorn and Haloxylon ammodendron were relatively easy to survive in this harsh environment.

Of course spruce is better, but these all require tree species.

Xin Wan did not stay long. After taking a good look at the terrain, she returned home and asked Lei Zhen to ask whether the place where he wanted to plant sea buckthorn trees was regulated. Whether it was for Xin Cui or the border of Yufeng Country, Xin Wan also wanted to take advantage of it. We need to do something in space, that is, slowly plant trees.

As long as you persist, you will emerge from the oasis sooner or later. Wasn't it true that the windbreaks that blocked the wind and sand in the previous life were built bit by bit through the labor and efforts of countless people and over a long period of time.

Lei Zhen took the order, and Xin Wan took out the sea buckthorn and planted it, and then directly used the spiritual water to germinate and cultivate the saplings first, so that they would survive after planting.

For half a month, they helped Xin Wan raise seedlings every day. They were very excited to see the seedlings that came to life quickly after germination.

"Master is very capable, are these really saplings?" Ban Yue wondered.

Xin Wan nodded and said: "Afforestation is a long-term work, but as long as you have perseverance, you will definitely succeed."

Xin Wan also didn't expect that she would be able to visit such a barren northwest after traveling through time. Now that she's here, let's make some contribution.

Time flies so fast. Within half a month of arriving here, Xin Wan has already planted nearly 8 acres of sea buckthorn saplings.

In order to test Xinwan in the later stage, he did not give Lingshui anymore and just used ordinary water to irrigate. Seabuckthorn is a deciduous shrub. It has strong drought resistance and can withstand wind and sand. Its fruits are edible and have a wide range of uses.

Although there is no industrialized technology in the current era to use sea buckthorn fruits as medicine and wine to exert many values, it is also good to make dried sea buckthorn fruits.

It is rich in nutrients but has a very sour taste. It is best to drink chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and honey soaked in water.You can also beat it into powder first and then add rock sugar and honey to make juice.

Sea buckthorn fruit contains high vitamin C content and is known as the king of vitamin C. It has high nutritional value.

Xin Wan directly planted the saplings, so a patch of green appeared three months after planting the saplings. Although these sea buckthorns will take a long time to grow up and will bear fruit after three years, as long as they can survive, they will be fine.

"Madam, now the people in the city are getting a lot of benefits from planting trees. You can be considered as doing another good deed." Lei Zhen said with great admiration.

Xin Wan looked at him and said, "Tomorrow, take a few people with me to Songcheng, 50 miles away."

"Yes." Lei Zhen didn't know what Xin Wan was going to do, but he still followed the order.Xin Wan asked Bagpipe and Yuan Bao to take good care of the children, and then she led Lei Zhen and others to the inland at high speed.

When we arrived at Songcheng, the conditions were obviously much better and more prosperous than those in Shacheng. There was a mountain range to the north of Songcheng. After wandering there for a few days, Xin Wan only left Lei Zhen behind and asked others to hire a convoy.

When Lei Zhen saw numerous saplings as tall as one person appearing out of thin air, with some soil wrapped around each root, he was really shocked and surprised.

Xin Wan did not avoid Lei Zhen because Lei Zhen was very loyal. Moreover, he had already taken the Loyalty Pill and drank a lot of spiritual water, so he would be very loyal to Xin Wan.

"Madam, do you know magic?" Lei Zhen swallowed.

Although I was a little curious about the many strange and rare things that Madam created in the past, this is the first time I have seen such a magic that can transform living people, no, trees.

Xin Wan chuckled and said: "I am a fairy from the heaven who came to earth and was reincarnated in the mortal world. I know some magic. Do you think your master will not suffer at all if he marries me?"

Xin Wan deliberately teased Lei Zhen, who nodded and quickly knelt down and said solemnly: "This subordinate is absolutely loyal and will not reveal my wife's secrets."

"Get up, I don't know you yet." Xin Wan smiled, then threw him a banana.

Lei Zhen's eyes lit up and he ate quickly.

Xin Wan didn't stay long. After getting hundreds of saplings, he waited for Bingxiao Palace to bring the carriage team to pull up the saplings, and then hurried back to Dasha City.

This batch is mainly from Sophora japonica, and there seems to be no Shuyu Fengguo. As for how they transported it to the border town, I can just blame it on Bingxiao Palace and Songbuya.

Anyway, people all over the world know that Bingxiao Palace has a lot of power, so it is not surprising to get some new tree species in some outer areas.

Sophora japonica has high yield and high quality.Loves light, is cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, gregarious habit: scattered.

Xin Wan directly took out the saplings that could be transplanted, and they were roughly more than 1 meter high, which made life easier.

I also got some Elaeagnus elegans, which is a tenacious desert tree species that is resistant to drought, wind and sand, salt and alkali, and barrenness.

This kind of tree can prevent sand and solidify forests, and can add Elaeagnus elegans, a specialty of the northwest. It can also be planted into trees, making it easier to expand in the future.

So when Xin Wan arrived in the northwest and within half a year of Xin Cui's service, he planted 30 acres of woods, forming a small green belt on one side outside the city.

The planting of trees in the early stage also alerted the generals and officials who were guarding the city. Because the place Xin Wan chose was windproof and sand-fixing without blocking the view, the officials of Dasha City did not interfere too much.

In addition, some adult Elaeagnus trees actually bear fruit after being planted, which also allows the people here to see fresh food that can be eaten as offerings in the future, and there is no way to stop Xin Wan from taking the trouble to plant the Elaeagnus trees.

After all, they are also suffering from wind and sand all year round. If the woods planted by Xin Wan can slowly expand, the border environment will be greatly improved in the future.

So when we arrived at Songbuya, we saw a large sparse forest on the open ground. Although compared with the entire northwest border defense, it was really a drop in the bucket, but Xin Wan felt that afforestation was a long-term task.

And because she brought dozens of saplings over and found people to plant trees, many people in Dasha City gained some benefits.
