Chapter 1366 Good News
That day, Yu Zhenglai sat in the main seat of the meeting. Looking at the confused crowd, Yu Zhenglai couldn't wait to say:
"I have two pieces of good news to share with you all!"

"What good news has made you so excited, Director?" Qu He asked quickly, seeing Yu Zhenglai's excited expression.

"This first piece of good news is the result of the joint efforts of Engineer Chen and Expert Lin, so Engineer Chen will announce this good news to everyone."

Yu Zheng looked at Engineer Chen excitedly. Engineer Chen straightened his back, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said:
"We have successfully cultivated seedlings on the dam, and the seedlings we cultivated on the dam have already undergone one large-scale planting, with a survival rate of over 90%!"

"Clap clap clap~!" Everyone applauded at the same time.

At this point, Engineer Chen continued, "Next, let's invite Expert Lin to say a few words and share his experience with us!"

"Clap clap clap~!" The crowd applauded again.

Lin Hao pressed his hand down, waiting for everyone to quiet down before continuing:
"As everyone knows, we planted trees in Weichang on the dam before, but not a single one survived. Later, I came to the dam and planted hundreds of trees there!"

"We initially thought we had succeeded, but we later discovered that only the saplings I planted survived, while the survival rate of the saplings planted by other comrades was basically zero!"

This meant that we could not plant on a large scale. Later, Chen and I developed the Bashang full-light seedling cultivation method!
"After more than a year of experimentation, we have solved the survival rate problem, and the key is that ordinary people can also grow it."

"This means that we now have the capability for large-scale, mechanized afforestation!"

"Whoosh whoosh!" Lin Hao's words cheered everyone up.

Although Lin Hao spoke lightly, everyone knew that he had stayed in Bashang for more than a year, and although they had not personally experienced the hardships he had endured, they could empathize with them.

At this moment, Yu Zheng came and said with a smile:

"Seeing is believing. Today, all the forestry bureau leaders will come up to the dam and show everyone their achievements over the past year!"

As Yu Zhenglai spoke, he couldn't wait to leave the meeting room, leading a group of seven or eight leaders in three trucks, heading towards Saihanba in a grand procession.

Even before reaching Lin Hao's camp, a patch of green could be seen in the distance, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding yellow sand.

Look at that touch of green, it's like the freshness after rain, so precious in this desert-like Saihanba.

These shrubs are already half a person's height. Their branches and leaves are not very lush, but they are verdant and pleasing to the eye.

As the car sped up, it got closer and closer to that patch of green, which gradually grew larger.

Unexpectedly, the sparse grass covering the ground was actually a small grove of trees, about half a person's height.

The leaders in the bureau, upon seeing the small grove of trees, were so overjoyed that they burst into tears.

Especially for Engineer Chen, although these were planted by him and Lin Hao, every time he saw them, there was a huge visual impact.

In the past few years, Saihanba has never seen a tree survive after being planted there. Now, it finally sees hope.

"By the way, Director, I have an idea. How about we hold an internal commendation ceremony within our bureau to give everyone hope?"

“We have failed many times in the past few years, and we haven’t been able to grow saplings for many years. This time we have succeeded, and we can take this opportunity to reignite everyone’s enthusiasm for work.”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Yu Zhenglai readily agreed to Qu He's suggestion.

That's really true, and it's something to celebrate, so it was handed over to Qu He to handle.

"By the way, Director Yu, we have made a successful start here, but we cannot let our guard down."

"Now that our experiment is over and has been successful, the next step is to have Engineer Chen go to our underground sub-fields to share his experience."

"Saihanba covers hundreds of thousands of acres, and we can't manage it with just a few people. We only have seven people and two dogs right now, which is far too few people."

"I'd like to see if Director Yu can get us a few more people. Also, there's the seed issue. Our next seedling plan is for 50,000 seedlings, so I need at least 100,000 seeds. Director Yu, you'll need to help us with that as well."

Lin Hao was eager to restore the hunting grounds as quickly as possible, so everything was urgent.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenglai confidently said, "Don't worry about the manpower and seeds, because this is the second piece of good news I have to share!"

"What good news, Director? Just tell us!" Someone couldn't help but ask when Yu Zhenglai was still keeping them in suspense.

"Hehe!" Yu Zhenglai couldn't help but laugh as he said, "I received a notice from the Ministry of Forestry. The country requires us to build a large forest farm in Saihanba!"

As he spoke, Yu Zheng pulled out a ticket and said, "See this? A train ticket, mine!"

"This afternoon, I'm going to Northeast Forestry College in Harbin. Within a month, leaders from the Ministry of Forestry will accompany me to forestry colleges all over the country to recruit talent for our Saihanba!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "The ministry leaders are recruiting!"

"Great!"

"Old Yu, this time it's all good, there's hope for Saihanba!"

"Well, as for the seeds, I'll apply for them from above!" Yu Zhenglai said with a smile.

"However, since we haven't reported our results yet, it might take some time."

"Don't worry, our bureau will definitely give you full support in your technical breakthrough!"

Yu Zheng's words greatly boosted everyone's morale, because this was not just empty talk, but rather a demonstration of support from above that had begun to be put into practice.

After Yu Zheng left, Lin Hao returned to Bashang and, with practiced ease, took out the seeds that had been stored away and sowed them in the nursery again.

The new saplings have sprouted, and with careful nurturing, they can be harvested again next year.

"Zhao Tianshan, are you there?" Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and only more than 20,000 seeds have been delivered.

However, no one paid much attention, since they were short-handed and had enough seeds.

That day, after Lin Hao and the others finished watering the saplings and returned to the camp, Qu He from the Forestry Bureau arrived. He was looking for Zhao Tianshan.

"Here!" Upon hearing Qu He's summons, Zhao Tianshan immediately ran to Qu He and saluted.

"Zhao Tianshan, Director Yu has been recruiting talent all over the country recently and has recruited a group of college students. These are all professional technical backbones, so you need to welcome and entertain them. I'm leaving this task to you."

Qu He didn't say much, but directly gave the order. After chatting for a few more minutes, he rode his horse towards the Forestry Bureau.

"Everyone come here for a moment. In the next couple of days, agricultural college students from all over the country will be coming to stay here and plant trees with us!" "So we need to do a good job of receiving them. Starting today, we need to tidy up the house and build dugouts. I will check them one by one later."

After Qu He left, Zhao Tianshan gathered everyone in front of Lin Hao and Feng Cheng's dugout.

Then, after reiterating the details of the music and the notification, arrangements began.

"Yes, the dugouts here are all prepared for ourselves, so after everyone tidied up their rooms, they prepared dugouts for the newcomers."

Lin Hao didn't object. Anyway, it would be good if more people came; many hands make light work.

Of course, according to the episode synopsis, some of the people who came were troublemakers, but with Lin Hao present, they couldn't be allowed to do whatever they wanted.

"Brother Lin, I think it's completely unnecessary!" Feng Cheng, standing to the side, suddenly said:
"These college students are probably just here to have some fun and go through the motions. How many of them will actually stay?"

Lin Hao understood what Feng Cheng meant. He remembered what Li Tieniu had told him when he arrived at Ba Yi Village: "The college students and experts have just left."

However, Lin Hao knew that quite a few people had actually stayed behind this time, and Feng Cheng's words had also dampened morale somewhat, so he said:

"Feng Cheng, your ideological awareness is lacking. If you, a college student, can come, why can't other college students come?"

"Of course, we shouldn't place all our hopes on them; we need to analyze each situation individually!"

"Okay, Brother Zhao, please keep a close eye on things once these college students arrive, since it's not very safe around here."

"So after they arrive, their safety will still depend on your attention, Brother Zhao."

"If all else fails, let's go down to the dam another day and talk to Director Yu to see if we can get a few more weapons!"

"It won't be long before it snows heavily again. I estimate that this year's snowfall will be heavier than last year's and the year before's."

"If the wild animals in the mountains run out of food, I estimate they might come out to hunt."

"If that happens, the danger level around us will increase significantly. So we need to make plans as soon as possible."

Lin Hao immediately made arrangements based on the original plot, because in the original plot, the afforestation camp was blocked by heavy snow, and Lao Liu died in the process of transporting grain.

The six people and two dogs in the team had no objections to Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan's arrangements.

Here, everyone has already tacitly agreed that Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan are the leaders, and of course, Lin Hao is the main one.

Although no one said anything, Zhang Fulin, who was in the group, had a vacant look in his eyes when he heard that the room was to be inspected.

No one knew what this kid was hiding from everyone, but no one cared. After all, Zhang Fulin had always been an honest man in Saihanba, working quickly and never procrastinating.

Like Wei Fugui, Zhang Fulin was a refugee who had come here because it was difficult to even get food in those days. So he fled famine all the way to Saihanba, and just happened to come across a forestry job opening, so he went to work on the dam.

When he arrived at the dam, he didn't make any major mistakes, and because he worked honestly, everyone had a good impression of him.

"Alright, let's go. We'll build the dugout first, and then tidy up the interior at one o'clock in the afternoon. But we don't know how many people will come this time. To be on the safe side, let's build it for twenty people, ten men and ten women."

With Lin Hao's guidance, everyone quickly got to work on building the dugout.

"Ouch!" Everyone was working hard on the construction when a cry of pain came out, which stunned everyone.

He then looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Zhang Fulin.

Zhang Fulin was seen clutching his stomach as he headed towards Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan.

"Zhang Fulin, what's wrong?" Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan also came over and looked at Zhang Fulin.

Zhang Fulin looked at Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan with a wronged expression, then clutched his stomach and said:

"Brother Zhao, Expert Lin, I think I ate something bad a while ago. My stomach started hurting all of a sudden. I'll go take care of it first."

"Go ahead, go ahead. You know how dangerous it is. There are wolves in this mountain. Don't go too far." Zhao Tianshan didn't think much of it and immediately agreed to let Zhang Fulin handle it.

Zhang Fulin walked outside, taking a pickaxe with him. Lin Hao watched him leave, lost in thought.

When Zhang Fulin arrived at the wilderness outside the camp, he looked around carefully and then took out several yellow objects from inside his clothes.

After placing the items aside, Zhang Fulin began digging a hole.

After digging for a while, Zhang Fulin looked around, his excitement and fear causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

After digging the pit, Zhang Fulin looked around again to make sure no one was paying attention before opening the yellow object.

It turned out to be a yellow cloth bag. Zhang Fulin carefully opened the bag layer by layer.

Under the sunlight, a blinding glare shone on Zhang Fulin's face.

The contents of the cloth bag were finally revealed: two pieces of gold ingots.

After observing for a moment, Zhang Fulin quickly scanned his surroundings, then wrapped the cloth bag up, swiftly placed it into the pit, and then buried the pit with a pickaxe.

"Brother Zhao, Zhang Fulin has been gone for a while now. Could something have happened to him?" Thinking about Zhang Fulin's actions, Lin Hao thought for a moment and still reminded him.

"That's true, Old Zhang isn't the kind of person who would slack off. It's been quite a while, and he hasn't come back yet!" Thinking this, Zhao Tianshan frowned and said.
"Could they have been chased by wolves?"

Zhao Tianshan didn't dare to be careless and immediately called everyone over.

"Old Zhang has been missing for a while. Let's hurry out and look for him. If we encounter a pack of wolves in this desert, we could die."

"Brother Zhao, find a piece of clothing that Zhang Fulin usually wears."

As expected of a retired soldier, Zhao Tianshan remained calm in the face of trouble and immediately began organizing people to search for Zhang Fulin.

"Why do you want Zhang Fulin's clothes?" Zhao Tianshan didn't understand why Lin Hao wanted Zhang Fulin's worn clothes.

"You'll find out when you get there."

Although Zhao Tianshan was puzzled, he still listened to Lin Hao's words and headed towards the dugout where Zhang Fulin lived.
