Pastoral Daily Life

After Yan Yue and Wang Chaoliang reached an agreement, Zheng Xinhe rushed to Fengcheng the next morning.

He held the materials Wang Chaoliang passed on to him in his hand, and he was staring at the few data on it all the way. His mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster, and he couldn't calm down at all due to various complex emotions of anxiety, doubt, and expectation.

As the most famous bamboo research expert in Huaguo, Zheng Xinhe can be said to have dedicated half of his life to the cause of bamboo research.When he was a child, Zheng Xinhe was born in a remote village in Shuchuan.Behind the village there is a mixed forest of bamboo and other tree species.At that time, the villagers were willing to go to the forest to cut a few knots of bamboo to build a fence and put up a pigsty.Zheng Xinhe wondered why everyone cut down bamboo instead of trees?The people in the village can't tell any great truths, they just act by experience.The family told Zheng Xinhe that it takes more than ten years to grow such a tall tree after cutting it down, but it only takes a few months to grow the same height after cutting down a bamboo.Anyway, both trees and bamboo can be used, and it is cheaper to cut bamboo.

Zheng Xinhe has been interested in bamboo since this incident. As the first college student in his village, he chose the Forestry University in Zhongjing and began to study bamboo formally.Zheng Xinhe has made a lot of research achievements over the years, the more he studies, the more he finds that bamboo is a treasure all over his body.Bamboo can almost play a role in food, clothing, housing, transportation and use.Especially in recent years, the ecological damage has been severe, and many forests have been cut down. At this time, bamboo forests with fast growth and strong reproduction have become the best choice to replace forests, consolidate water and soil, and absorb carbon dioxide.People are increasingly aware of the practicality of bamboo, but these are not enough. Zheng Xinhe has greater ambitions.

He shifted his gaze to the document in his hand, and squeezed it tightly. He had a vague premonition that this document might achieve his wish and completely change the industrial structure of the entire Hua Kingdom.

With this fiery thought in mind, Zheng Xinhe met Lu Lingxi.He already knew from Wang Chaoliang that Lu Lingxi was not very old, but he never expected that the other party would be so young, and even looked like a minor.Before Zheng Xinhe put away the surprise on his face, Wang Chaoliang introduced them with a smile, "Xiaoxi, this is the friend I told you about, just call him Uncle Zheng."

"Uncle Zheng." Lu Lingxi was very polite.

The Zheng Xinhe in front of him looks to be in his early fifties, not tall, and a little fat. Perhaps because of excessive brain use, there are almost no hairs left on his head, forming a Mediterranean hairstyle.

Hearing Lu Lingxi's voice, Zheng Xinhe came back to his senses. He suppressed the surprise on his face, and laughed at himself, "Young people are awesome. Only when I see Xiaoxi do I know I'm really old." Although it was the first time we met, Zheng Xinhe followed Wang Chaoliang and called out the word "Xiaoxi" naturally, so as to narrow the distance between the two parties.

He has a friendly and funny attitude, and Lu Lingxi has a good impression of him. Wang Chaoliang introduced Yan Yue who is beside Lu Lingxi. Zheng Xinhe cheered up, knowing that Yan Yue is the most difficult person to deal with compared to Lu Lingxi who has little social experience.

After the simple greetings, the few people chatted quickly.Lu Lingxi knows a lot about flowers and plants, but when it comes to bamboo, it can't be said that she doesn't know anything about it, that is, she knows a general idea.Zheng Xinhe saw that Lu Lingxi was interested in this topic, so he took the initiative to talk about it.He is an expert in this field, and he is very thorough when it comes to bamboo.From the deliciousness of bamboo shoots to bamboo papermaking, and the recent rise of bamboo bicycles abroad, Zongling finally got to the point.He hopes to take advantage of the characteristics of bamboo and turn it into a new type of industrial material to replace the existence of steel.

Speaking of this, Zheng Xinhe was afraid that Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue would not believe it, so he specifically mentioned a mature technology that uses high pressure to glue multiple pieces of bamboo together, which increases the density of the internal structure of bamboo by a hundred times, making its strength reach Performance standards for building materials.

The inventor of this technology is Zheng Xinhe. He said with a little excitement: "I have been looking for the improvement of this technology, but because of the limitation of raw materials, the effect of improvement is not obvious. Now with the discovery of this technology by Xiaoxi Planting bamboo, this technology will soon be promoted and applied in practice.”

Lu Lingxi was infected by his tone, and her emotions were mobilized accordingly.He believes that Zheng Xinhe's enthusiasm for talking about all this is not fake, but he regards it as his career from the heart.

Seeing that Lu Lingxi listened seriously, Zheng Xinhe was even happier, and continued excitedly, "I hope that bamboo will not only replace steel bars for construction, but also have many other aspects. Of course, we may not be able to use bamboo in a short period of time. Instead of steel, but as long as we are willing to take the first step and change people's usage habits little by little, in the long run we will eventually change the industrial structure of the entire Huaguo."

At this time, Zheng Xinhe didn't look calm at all when he just appeared in front of them, and he was full of fanaticism.Lu Lingxi saw the shadow of Wang Chaoliang on him, Wang Chaoliang smiled wryly and shook his head, "Occupational disease, there is no way."

Because of Zheng Xinhe's frankness, they quickly became familiar with each other.After personally following Lu Lingxi to the flower garden to look at the bamboo, Zheng Xinhe formally mentioned the matter of cooperation with Lu Lingxi.He hopes that Lu Lingxi can provide raw materials, and he can provide technology to jointly develop a new material he named Zhugang.

"how?"

Zheng Xinhe looked at Yan Yue as he spoke, it was about cooperation negotiations, Lu Lingxi did not intervene, and left everything to Yan Yue.Yan Yue did not reply immediately, but pondered for a moment and asked Zheng Xinhe tactfully if he had found a suitable investor.

Zheng Xinhe laughed, "I have been studying in this industry for a long time, and I know a few people, Mr. Yan can rest assured about the investment."

He thought that Yan Yue was worried that he could not find a suitable investment company, and he was very confident about it.Unexpectedly, Yan Yue shook his head, "That's not what I mean, but I want us to invest by ourselves."

"what?"

Zheng Xinhe was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Wang Chaoliang, and consulted the economic situation of Micro Gardening with his eyes.

Yan Yue guessed his concerns, and smiled lightly, "If Director Zheng is worried about funds, you can rest assured about that."

Zheng Xinhe took a deep look at Yan Yue, "This investment is not a small amount."

"I know." Yan Yue said lightly: "In fact, the Fengcheng government now has a technology support project. I think we are very suitable. With the background of the government, the promotion of Zhugang will be smoother."

Hearing that Yan Yue could get in touch with the government, Zheng Xinhe agreed to Yan Yue's proposal with only a little thought.If they can really cooperate with the government, they can save a lot of trouble.

After the two discussed it, the matter was settled like this.The government's cooperation was initiated by Yan Yue, and Lu Lingxi started the reproduction of the evolved Nanzhu.For this point, Zheng Xinhe is more concerned than Lu Lingxi.

Generally speaking, traditional asexual reproduction methods such as burying whips, stalks, and joints are the main methods of bamboo reproduction. However, Lu Lingxi has only one bamboo to evolve at hand, and he does not know how long it will take to grow into a forest through traditional methods.It happened that he had Zheng Xinhe, an expert by his side, so Lu Lingxi specially vacated the laboratory at the Qiutian Flower Garden for bamboo tissue culture and seedling cultivation.According to Zheng Xinhe, through group cultivation of seedlings, one bud can multiply at least [-] seedlings a year.This propagation method has fast speed, high multiplication coefficient, and good quality, and can obtain a large number of plants completely consistent with the excellent plants of the parents in a short period of time for building artificial bamboo forests.

Zheng Xinhe asked Lu Lingxi where he planned to build the bamboo forest after group breeding.What he meant was that most of the southern bamboos are produced in the Shuchuan area. Although Lu Lingxi found a mutated southern bamboo, the growth environment will not be too different. It would be better for them to build the bamboo forest in Shuchuan, but Lu Lingxi is not very willing. Leaving Fengcheng, I want to build the bamboo forest directly on the outskirts of Fengcheng.When he said this, Zheng Xinhe immediately felt that he was fooling around.

"Nanzhu has higher requirements on the soil than ordinary tree species. It needs sufficient water and humidity conditions and is not resistant to flooding. How can Fengcheng be suitable for cultivating bamboo forests?"

"The few bamboos transplanted in the flower garden are growing very well now. The soil in Fengcheng may not be unsuitable for the growth of southern bamboo." Lu Lingxi said seriously.He knew that Zheng Xinhe was an expert on bamboo, but he was very confident in the purified soil.Besides, if the bamboo forest is really built on the side of Shuchuan, it will be too far away from Fengcheng, and many things will be inconvenient.

Because of Lu Lingxi's insistence, Zheng Xinhe had to follow him to the outskirts of Fengcheng a few times, and personally measured the composition of the nearby soil to confirm that the soil was suitable for the growth of Nanzhu.Zheng Xinhe was very surprised by the measurement results, not only because these soils are suitable for the growth of Nanzhu, but also because these soils are rare and free of any pollution, unlike other soils he has seen that have deposited too many heavy metals and chemicals in them.

"Nearby..." Zheng Xinhe looked around suspiciously. In his heart, Fengcheng has always been a heavily polluted area. How could there be such clean soil?He was puzzled by this phenomenon, and looked at Lu Lingxi hesitantly for a few times, but thinking about Lu Lingxi's age, he didn't think Lu Lingxi would know this, so he suppressed his doubts and said nothing.

"Uncle Zheng?" Lu Lingxi couldn't help asking as Zheng Xinhe stared at the soil composition test results for a long time.

Zheng Xinhe endured his confusion and nodded.

After confirming that the nearby soil was suitable, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue went back to Lingshui Village.The two fell in love with the two small hills to the north of Lingshui Village.Because it is to build bamboo forests, valleys, foothills, and mountainsides can grow, and there is no need to occupy the cultivated land in the village.And compared with the fields used for farming, the contracting price of the hills is cheaper.Lu Lingxi has already seen that these two hills are included in the purification range of the willow ecological community, and they are just used to plant bamboo forests.

When he said this to Uncle Li, Uncle Li immediately became worried. "It's a good thing that Xiaoxi wants to grow bamboo, but can we grow it here? Don't worry about losing money if it doesn't grow."

"It can be planted." Lu Lingxi affirmed, "I have seen it all."

Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief, and took the two of them to find the village head, Li Dalei.When Li Dalei heard that they were going to contract to plant bamboo on the top of the mountain, he was stunned for a long time, and the first sentence he said was, "Can we grow this? Don't lose money by planting it." After more than half a year of getting along, Li Dalei regarded Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi as villagers. own people.His first thought was not that the two contracted the mountain to generate income for the village, but what if they lost money?

Knowing Li Dalei's good intentions, Yan Yue took the initiative to explain: "It's okay, I invited experts from Zhongjing to look at it, and the nearby land can be planted with bamboo."

Li Dalei immediately felt relieved when he heard that it was read by an expert.The people in the village are like this, they have a kind of blind superstition towards the experts in Zhongjing.

After the two completed the formalities, they asked Uncle Li to find some honest and kind people in the village.The maintenance and guards of the bamboo forest need manpower, and they are definitely not enough.

"Okay, leave this to me."

Uncle Li readily agreed.Micro Gardening offers a lot of wages, and many people in the village want to come, so it is not difficult to recruit people.
