Chapter 1124 Planting trees
Someone brought a loudspeaker in front of the Chief. At this time, several Fenggong members hurried over, lowered their voices and kept reminding everyone: "The chief should clap his hands desperately after speaking! Cheer! When cheering, you must raise your hands Get up! Otherwise, you won’t be given food!”

Everyone was a little confused and didn't know why, but it was related to whether there would be food later. Since the chief master didn't like to kneel and kowtow, everyone clapped their hands desperately.

Wen Desi looked at the ants-like local laborers and the Fenggong team members with big sticks below, and coughed.He took a big tin trumpet and began to deliver an impassioned speech.There are so many new words used in this speech, and the new meanings of the words completely overwhelmed Pu Demeng's translator.Had to get a little creative.Finally, the people at the foot of the mountain understood that the village under construction was given to everyone for free by the head of the village—they were no longer the slaves of the Li Dynasty or some other lord, but the upright and upright naturalized people of the Australian and Song Dynasties!
As naturalized people, they will use seven years of work and service to compensate the chiefs for liberating them and giving them food, clothing, housing and education.

In the future, more villages like this will be established on the entire Jeju Island, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment: "... everyone has a house to live in, everyone has a job to do, and everyone who works can have enough food!"

There was a commotion among the audience—everyone has a free house for no money!You can still have a full meal!There has never been a shortage of people willing to work on Jeju Island, but there are not many people who are full of food.Most of them seldom remember the days when they had enough to eat. For them, chronic hunger is already a normal life, not one of the pains in life.

"Shan Fatty, what did you hear? It's only natural for the master to let the slaves build a house, and now they live in us, and they didn't say that they would owe debts or anything?" Jin Dawu secretly asked his nephew.

"Anyway, it means working every day, growing food, vegetables, horses and sheep."

"Nonsense, what do you eat if you don't work. But is it true that you can eat enough if you work?" Jin Dawu is still a little worried. Over the years, he has done a lot of work—sometimes he is still half-tired, but he has never been full. It was just over a month ago that I still ate wild vegetables because of the spring famine.

"That's right, that's what the Chief Master said."

"Quick, slap!" Jin Taitao had sharp eyes, saw that a member of the Fenggong team had started to applaud, and quickly pushed his father and cousin.

Although Pu Demeng couldn't translate every sentence of "Chairman Wen" [-]% accurately, but he accurately changed his expression and voice at any time according to Wen Desi's tone changes and speech content, sometimes deep and powerful, sometimes impassioned, although a little Exaggerated, but full of expressiveness, like a self-taught announcer.

Gradually attracted by the content of the speech, and incited by Pu Demeng's expression, everyone became excited. Driven by the Fenggong team members, they had already given out "thunderous applause" several times in a row.The atmosphere gradually warmed up.Just when Wen Desi was talking about the climax and raised his "giant hand" high - it was too late and then soon, a clever Fenggong team member took the lead and raised his hands high, shouting "full competition!"

So the whole hillside shouted "Man Sai", which seemed to be like a tsunami.Wen Desi's Korean level can only understand a "mansai", and he is smiling and raising his hands frequently.The crowd below became more and more excited, and one by one followed the Fenggong team members and raised their hands high. The sound of "full race" resounded throughout the ranch.

Wen Desi smiled and waved his hands. Although as the chairman of the executive committee, he often attends important occasions and receives cheers and compliments from the masses, he is no longer excited about it. However, compared with the cheers here, the naturalized people on Hainan Island There is a lot of difference in facial expressions, movements and voices.It seems that the cultural and publicity department should come here to collect and select some talents.

After the speech was over, it was announced that Mr. Chief would be performing the next program - planting trees.

Wenders was originally an outdoor travel enthusiast and had a natural interest in mountains and forests.I was entangled in chores in Lingao, and after I went to Jeju Island, I inspected around, and inspected the security strengthening work by the way.Standard Village is also a project to strengthen law and order.So he took a lot of standard village homesteads in "security areas".After turning around, I found a problem - there are no woods near many places selected as standard village homesteads.Although the mountains of Jeju Island are densely forested, standard villages are basically located on pastures and developed land, and there are few mountains and forests around them.

"How can this be done!" Wenders said at the meeting, patting the table, "How can villagers live without forests? What about burning firewood? What about farm tools? What about repairing houses and fences? It will be wasted! We need to plant trees."

The General Front Committee immediately sent a request for help to the Lingao Agricultural Committee.There are various plants introduced from different time and space in the plantation directly under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Committee of Nanhai Farm.Especially the economic crops cultivated in the old time and space.These economic crops are growing well under the careful care of the COA.According to Jeju's climate and specific needs, Fa Shilu chose a fast-growing tree called "American Bamboo Willow".

"American Bamboo Willow" is a product name, and in some places it is called "American Genetically Modified Bamboo Willow", but it has nothing to do with "GMO" or "USA".This tree species is a hybrid fast-growing willow developed by former Anhui forestry personnel. It is only called "American" because of the parent of North American tamarisk, and then added the non-existent concept of "genetically modified" - it is purely a commercial gimmick.

Bamboo willow is characterized by its incredible fast-growing ability and high resistance. It can survive and grow almost under any conditions, and it grows extremely fast. The cellulose content is as high as 76%, which is close to that of bamboo.Old time and space is mainly used to meet the needs of export-oriented economies for packaging cartons and newsprint, office paper, but also to make plywood and cheap solid wood furniture.

Domestic species are generally planted with cuttings the size of chopsticks, and can be harvested two or three years after fertilizers are applied.Bamboo and willow, like many economic crops and animals in the old time and space, are often used as commercial scams: many people spend time and energy on planting and find that there is no such a big market at all, and the price plummets.

The Council of Agriculture originally brought it to this time and space for the purpose of making paper and furniture, but in Hainan bamboo willows are not as fast as eucalyptus trees, and the wood factory will not be able to make composite panels for a while.The Council of Agriculture felt that there was no promotional value.So it's just a small-scale planting.Later, the agricultural reclamation squadron dispatched to Taiwan discovered that this kind of tree could be used for fences-killing two birds with one stone.

The climate of Jeju Island is similar to that of the Huainan area. Bamboo willow is naturally a good firewood tree. Even without fertilization and watering, it can still meet the timber standard in three to five years.That is, it can be used as a fence for pastures and villages, and it can also be used as a firewood forest by the way.

"The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade", this kind of meaning includes the meaning of covering the future generations, making tree planting an activity very suitable for the heads of state to participate in since ancient times.President Wen will naturally not miss it.Feng Zongze has already sent people to prepare a special venue outside Standard Village.There are several small mounds here, which are suitable for planting trees.

There are two pits dug in advance, one is used to plant bamboo willow, and the other is prepared to plant white bark pine.

The reason why kapok is still planted is because the lifespan of bamboo and willow is not long, even if it is not harvested, it will fall hollow in 40 to [-] years.This is inappropriate for commemorative trees.After much consideration, Feng Zongze decided to plant another white bark pine.

The bamboo and willow cuttings sent are long and short, some have already taken root, and some are like chopsticks.The Fenggong team selected some that looked strong and relatively tall and sent them to the standard village construction site.As for the white bark pine, there are a lot of them here. I specially selected a few small trees from the mountains and dug them up overnight and carefully sent them over.

Accompanied by Feng Zongze, Wen Desi went to the tree planting site, surrounded by the Fenggong team and the naturalized people.The two first waved frequently, then planted the saplings in the pit, began to cultivate the soil, and watered it.As usual, there was another round of applause and calls for full competition.

Wen Desi saw the saplings he planted swaying in the breeze, surrounded by green grass, surrounded by crowds, standing guards, and full of leadership.Feeling very happy, he immediately chanted:
"I came to plant, and I went to the flowers before they bloomed, so there will be no beauty, and I will leave it to future generations."

Feng Zongze's heart tightened, and he secretly scolded Mr. Wen for being so shameless that he copied Master Hongyi's poem.However, he just kept applauding with a smile on his face, saying yes repeatedly.Immediately thereafter, he called a middle-aged man who had been a petty official, and asked him to quickly write it down with pen and ink, saying that he was going to engrave it into a tree planting stele.

"I don't want this, it's against our original intention. Xiao Feng, this is suspected of cult of personality, we need to emphasize collective leadership." Boss Wen said very modestly.

"You're right." Feng Zongze nodded again and again, "However, this poem can be framed as a souvenir to fully reflect the care and love of the Senate for our Jeju."

Wen Desi made another speech on afforestation to benefit the country and the people.In fact, few locals understood the speech.However, the woods quickly grew vigorously, and the saplings planted by the chief were later taken care of by the villagers as sacred objects, and they were put on a sign and worshiped every year. The first bamboo willow on the island has been growing vigorously forever, protecting the people of the Senate.

Later, this forest was turned into a park. An old man wrote a small poem in English while walking in the willow forest, which was later compiled into a song and widely sung, which became popular all over the world. That is "Down by Sally Garden" )》

The transplanted tree with strong growth speed and vitality was later called "Wenders Willow" by the naturalized people of Jeju Island. scientific name.
