Chapter 761 The Necessity of Sand Control

Chapter 760 The Second Necessity of Sand Control
Xue Jian and his group arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain. The climate here is obviously different. The top of the mountain is covered with white snow, but the bottom of the mountain is green grass. On the side of the mountain, it is the deserted place that King Rag said, and the temperature there seems to be And a little higher.

A group of people set up camp first, Xuejian really admires these people who live on the grassland, they can find a suitable place to set up camp anywhere.A safe and secure tent can be built quickly.Needless to say, everyone has a very clear division of labor.

Because it was getting late.After setting up camp, everyone naturally made something to eat first.After eating, I went to rest early.Xuejian spent most of his time in the carriage, so he didn't feel tired. After eating, he wandered around the camp freely, followed by Eunuch Gu and Shi Chun.

When Xue Jian turned to a tree outside the tent, a voice came from the tree:
"Xue'er, I'll go up the mountain to check first. I think there should be something good on the mountain. I may not be by your side for the past two days. Be careful."

Xue Jian nodded, she naturally knew who it was, it was Grandpa Qin.Apart from playing the piano and making paintings, old man Qin likes to study some medicinal herbs with old man Mo when he has free time. This mountain looks like a mountain that no one has ever been to, and there may be some precious herbs here.

Old man Qin naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. After telling Xue Jian, he naturally flew up the mountain while no one was paying attention.

Xuejian originally wanted to prepare one or two cloth bags for him.But everyone flew away.

I know old man Qin has gone up the mountain.Xue Jian thinks about it, or take Gu Gonggong and Shi Chun back to the tent first, because it is more dangerous to stay outside.

In the early morning of the next day, when Xue Jian came out of the tent after practicing kung fu, she saw that Lager Shepherd had already stayed aside, Xue Jian went up to meet him and said:
"Let's go to the deserted place and have a look."

In fact, when it comes to sand control, there is no scientific method, but based on some knowledge from previous lives, first of all, we need to plant trees and grass, to ensure the survival of some saplings, and to plant some places every year. It will turn the desert into a green state.

This time everyone is riding a horse.Dama walked along the edge of the sandy soil, and when he saw it, it was endless sand.Here is the endless grassland.Except for the mountain over there, the front and back are invisible at a glance.Xue Jian lightly frowned and said:
"It seems that your grassland was very big back then. Too much desertified land over there."

Lager Shepherd also sighed and said:

"Who says it's not? In the past, we could travel more than ten miles from Tongxi here, but now it's all sand."

Xuejian jumped off the horse, reached out and took out a sword she was carrying on the horse.Then one flew up and rushed towards a certain place, stabbing there with the sword in his hand, and then saw the sword in Xue Jian's hand turning, and then some sand mist flew around.

Xuejian seemed to be unable to see in that cloud of sand.After a while, Xue Jian withdrew from the sand mist, her body, head and face were covered with sand, and she opened her mouth to vomit some sand, laughing loudly to herself:

"I forgot I was supposed to wear a mask."

It caused everyone to laugh out loud. This Prince Rui, who looked very shrewd and mature along the way, now looks like a child.Shi Chun also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't know what the master was going to do, so why not ask her rashly, he didn't expect her to dig a hole with the sword.

Shi Chun hurriedly stepped forward to rearrange Xuejian.The sand mist over there dissipated, and everyone gathered around to have a look, but what Xuejian had dug was a hole the size of a bamboo pole, but it looked very deep.Everyone probed to see, I don't know what Xuejian was digging this hole for.

Xuejian tidied up a bit, and came over to take a look:

"Come on, everyone, take a look. You can see from here that this layer of sand is still very shallow. Below this is the land. Look, there are grass roots a little further down, which means that this place has just been deserted. The soil below is also wet. Yes, it shows that the groundwater here is still very rich. Now we can start to cure the disease of desertification from here.”

A young man said casually:
"How to deal with it, isn't His Excellency the Prince asking us to dig up the sand here?"

Xue Jian glared at him and said:

"Come on! Let me see where the sand you dug up is going to. Look, the sand that is so wide is all sand. I made the sand on the side, and the sand on the side was just blown in. There are still a few here. Further in the middle, the sand there might be taller than me."

The young man also scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"I, I'm not looking at the sand here."

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"It's impossible to dig it away. We can only use time to defeat him. People say it takes ten years to grow! We want to plant trees here and turn the sand here into soil. The reason why sand blows here is because of this There is nothing to block the wind and sand, if we plant some trees ourselves, we can plant some grass under the trees, and the grass can turn the sand into land."

Someone also said:

"Prince, it will take a long time. If a sapling is only this tall, it will not be blown by the wind and sand. If it grows up, it will be blown away by the wind and sand."

Everyone probably thought this way, thinking that Xue Jian had some good way to control the sand, but he didn't expect it to be planting trees. Everyone at the station knew that planting trees was not a one-day job.

Xue Jian said seriously:
"On the way here, everyone may have heard the Lager Shepherd King say that when they were young, they rode horses and ran over there to play, but there was still a grassland over there, and in a few decades, the sand was here. If you think about it, we came here to fight Malays, so in a few decades, your entire grassland will become like this, how will you survive by then?"

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at the endless sand over there.All sighed.Then Xuejian said again:
"I don't know what's going on with you here. Anyway, when I return to the Eastern Dynasty, I will definitely order all the trees on our border to be planted. When the wind and sand blow to our side in a few decades, our trees will grow taller." It’s so big, all the sand is blocked.”

A person asked stupidly:
"So, we are going back to Linda City to plant trees? Then we will protect Linda City!"

Rag Shepherd understood Xue Jian's meaning and said:
"That won't work. In this case, we will only have one Linda city left. How do you go about grazing?"

Everyone fell silent. These young people were all from various shepherd kings. In the past, they also heard Laga shepherd yelling that there was no pasture due to desertification.At that time, everyone was still secretly happy, but now hearing what Prince Derry said, it is true that if the Rush tribe is completely deserted, it will be their own tribe next.At that time is also a fate.In that case, this sand control is really a major event for the whole Hu country, or a major event related to his own tribe.

This is a serious matter and cannot be treated as a joke.This is the consensus of everyone, but seeing that Xuejian is a little bit eloquent about sand control, it seems that she really understands a little bit.Then listen to how the prince controls sand.

Xue Jian looked at everyone's expressions, it seemed that everyone understood the seriousness of this matter.Then said:
"So, the first thing we need to look for now is the kind of grass and trees that can survive in the sand. If we find this kind of thing, we will start planting along here, and first control the shallow sand."
