Chapter 1386 Gathering of All Parties
As Qin Xuemei's first supporter, how could Wu Yansheng possibly oppose her? He immediately took sides and spoke up for Qin Xuemei!
Qin Xuemei had long been disappointed in Wu Yansheng, so she simply nodded at him without speaking to him.

"Hey~, everyone else turns back after hitting a wall, but you guys really won't turn back even after hitting a wall, you're as stubborn as donkeys!"

Lin Hao looked at the college students with some disappointment, then said helplessly, "What you can think of, why can't we think of?"

"Do you really have to repeat every single mistake that everyone else has made before you're satisfied?"

"Feng Cheng, tell me how you did it back then!" Lin Hao looked at Feng Cheng and asked him to set an example.

When Feng Cheng first arrived at the dam, he couldn't grow a single tree. Unwilling to accept this, he tried to cultivate saplings himself, but not a single one survived!

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng looked at the group of college students, smiled helplessly, and said:
"Just like Team Leader Lin said, I used to think the same as you. Planting trees was just a simple matter: dig a hole, plant a sapling, add some soil, water it, and it will grow."

"But the reality is...!" Feng Cheng then recounted the hardships he had endured planting trees in the dam area.

This includes the fact that they had already experimented with shaded seedling cultivation in the dam area before using full-light seedling cultivation, which is why Lin Hao said that they were repeating the same mistakes they had made before.

I think Team Leader Lin is right. Now that we have found a successful path, we just need to continue along this path.

"There is no need to waste any more seeds. The key is that even if seedlings are cultivated using the shade seedling method, if they do not survive on a large scale, it means that all the previous work has been wasted."

"This not only wastes national resources, but more importantly, has anyone considered that if only half of the seedlings survive, it means that the places where the seedlings were planted cannot be used for mechanized planting again!"

"At that time, we'll have to dig the holes and carry buckets of water by hand to water the plants. With so few of us, how can we manage? Besides, everyone knows how tiring it is to water plants before!"

Tang Qi's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking everyone up.

Even Qin Xuemei began to have second thoughts, because what Tang Qi said made a lot of sense: a large number of deaths or large areas of failure to sprout in the nursery were not a big problem.

On the contrary, if a large number of plants die after they are planted, then there will be the problem of replanting, and then...!

Thinking of this, Qin Xuemei felt a chill run down her spine. It took her several days to recover when she was carrying water before, and Lin Hao and the others had already tested it.

Moreover, she felt it was unnecessary to do these thankless and repetitive tasks just because she was unwilling to accept the situation.

While admiring Lin Hao, she also felt a little disappointed. She hadn't accomplished anything since coming to Bashang and felt utterly useless. She even lacked confidence when standing in front of Lin Hao.

However, just as Qin Xuemei was about to give up, Wu Yansheng stood up and said:

"I think your complete safety is an unfounded worry. Your failure to use shading for seedling cultivation is due to your lack of professionalism!"

"But Qin Xuemei is different. She is a seedling expert. Perhaps she can succeed in cultivating them!"

"Besides, how do we know we'll definitely fail if we don't even try? What if we succeed?"

Despite Wu Yansheng's usual unreliability, he speaks eloquently and persuasively at crucial moments, mainly because he is very persuasive and makes people believe that what he says makes perfect sense.

Qin Xuemei and several other college students shared this view, after all, just because Lin Hao is good at planting trees doesn't mean he's also professional in seedling cultivation!

Maybe if we let professionals cultivate them, the seedlings can be successfully grown!
However, they completely overlooked the fact that if Lin Hao could successfully grow saplings in the dam area, how could he not understand seedling cultivation?

Moreover, Lin Hao's full-light seedling cultivation method has successfully produced seedlings with a survival rate of over 90%, so Wu Yansheng's words are all nonsense.

Lin Hao shook his head, too lazy to argue with them. He knew these people just wanted to achieve something to show off their excellence as college students.

Let them hit a wall; let the facts speak for themselves in the end. So Lin Hao said:

"Alright, since you want to conduct an experiment, I have no reason to object. However, let me make it clear from the outset that it cannot interfere with normal management operations!"

"Also, although there are 30,000 seeds here, this is in preparation for mechanized planting in the next year or two, so if you need seeds, you'll have to ask Director Qu to send them over!"

"That's more like it. Our Xuemei is a professional!" Wu Yansheng said, noticing that Qin Xuemei had turned to look at him. He immediately flashed what he thought was a cool smile.

However, Qin Xuemei remained cold and ignored Wu Yansheng, because Wu Yansheng had actually said in public that he was hers, which was an ambiguous statement.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Qin Xuemei immediately retorted:

"Wu Yansheng, I appreciate your support, but we haven't officially started a relationship yet, and I'm not part of your family. Please don't say such ambiguous things in the future."

Wu Yansheng was rendered speechless by Qin Xuemei's retort. He had thought he was trying to please her, but Qin Xuemei didn't appreciate it, which made him feel embarrassed.

Lin Hao shook his head, ignoring Wu Yansheng, and instead looked at Qin Xuemei and Meng Yue, asking:
"Qin Xuemei, Meng Yue, tell me how many seeds you want. I'll write a letter later and have Xiao Huang deliver it to Director Qu and the others."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuemei immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"Team leader, Meng Yue and I have discussed it, and we only need five thousand seeds. Since we don't know much about the environment and soil of this dam, our first seedling cultivation is essentially an experiment!"

"Therefore, it's not suitable to have too many seeds. Six thousand will be enough. At the same time, I will also learn the full-light seedling cultivation method from the group leader. Group leader, is that alright?"

Qin Xuemei and Meng Yue whispered to each other for a moment, and then discussed it with Lin Hao.

“That’s perfect. As I said before, we’ll spend all our time studying together, except for planting and watering the trees.”

······
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the planted saplings have also gone through a two-month observation period. They have been watered every day to help them grow better.

During this period, no one caused any trouble, but Qin Xuemei needed to translate a Chinese book on forestry.

In the end, it was Tang Qi who stepped in to help with the translation, since she had studied English when she was in Beijing.

The girls were curious about Tang Qi's use of vulgar language, and she suddenly realized that she was exposing herself. If someone found out that she, Tang Qi, was actually Tang Qi, then she would be completely ruined.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately claimed that she was studying forestry knowledge abroad and had taken the initiative to learn from others, which fooled them.

Furthermore, Qu He had someone bring them 10,000 seeds. Apart from the 5,000 given to Qin Xuemei for her experiments, the rest were to be used for full-light seedling cultivation, and he was encouraged to conduct more experiments.

For example, Lin Hao suggested keeping the seedlings in flowerpots or bottles until they grow strong, and then transplanting them to the places where they are least likely to survive.

Lin Hao's experiment received unanimous approval from the leaders down below the dam, as well as many others, who praised it as a genius idea.

Also, Yu Zhenglai and Li Zhong were originally supposed to come to Bashang this month to check on the growth of the planted saplings!
No one showed up. Even the last time the seeds were delivered, it was Qu He who sent someone to bring them by donkey cart. Seeing everyone's anxiety, Lin Hao found it both amusing and somewhat speechless.

Knowing that the reason for the lack of inspection from higher authorities was that Lin Hao had to offer words of comfort:

"It's alright. Since the leaders didn't come to review it, they must have been delayed by something, such as Director Yu handing over the work or the preparation work for the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm."

"Don't worry, everyone. Here's what we'll do!" Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has been busy for a while now and hasn't had a proper rest yet."

"Why don't we take advantage of this time and go for a walk on the dam and see what's there?" Lin Hao said, looking at Zhao Tianshan.

"Captain Zhao, today we'll take everyone to see the original scenery of Saihanba, which used to be the only scenic spot in Saihanba."

"Although trees have already been planted in Bashang, we should still go and take a look at this place, and also show everyone how to relax."

"An autumn outing?" Students will be students; they immediately thought of romantic things at this moment.

"Ha~!" Lin Hao chuckled and said, "Calling it an autumn outing isn't wrong, so let's just treat it as an autumn outing!"

"Old Wei, since it's an autumn outing, everyone should go. You prepare some food and come with us to relax. We won't be back for lunch this afternoon!"

"Okay, no problem." Old Wei then went to prepare the food.

Meanwhile, in a village near Saihanba, an old man was on his deathbed, barely clinging to life.

At this moment, two people were kneeling in front of the bed, feeding the bedridden old man some rice soup. After tidying up the old man's bedding, the two people left.

When they reached the door, the two men looked sorrowful; they knew the old man was unlikely to make it.

“Dad, Grandma is dying. Three years ago, she told me that she hoped to have a coffin to rest in after she passed away, but when we went to cut down trees, we were stopped by the forestry bureau.”

"Besides, that tree now belongs to the Forestry Bureau, and they won't let us cut it down!"

"Dad, what do you think we should do?" The young man looked at the old man, who was over fifty, wanting him to make a decision.

That's right, this is Zheng San, the man who stopped Feng Cheng from cutting down trees three years ago and was injured as a result.

If Lin Hao hadn't appeared in time, Feng Cheng would probably have died there and been buried with his father on the spot.

Zheng San gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we find an opportunity to secretly cut down the tree!"

“Third brother, that tree belongs to the collective, and it still belongs to the forestry bureau. Cutting it down is illegal. I can’t just cut down a collective tree to pay for my mother’s coffin, can I?”

“Dad, no, Grandma was so good to us and never mistreated the neighbors. I just want her to leave this world in peace.”

"Dad, I'm willing to go to jail for a few years for Grandma's sake!"

Hearing his son's words, he was somewhat undecided.

As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important of all virtues. Seeing that his son, though somewhat unsuccessful, was so filial, he felt quite comforted.

But he was still somewhat timid about committing a crime.

"Dad, don't worry about it. Leave this to me. I'll take a few brothers and go cut down the tree in a bit. After we cut it down, we'll make a coffin for Grandma. We'll do whatever we need to do then. I'm not afraid."

Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Zheng San immediately went outside the courtyard.

"Stop right there, you little brat! Get back here! That's my mother! Even if it's something to do, I'm the one who goes!"

"What if something happens to your brothers? You're our only son! If you're all gone, our family line will end!"

At this point, he stood up and said, "I'll take the villagers with me. Even if something goes wrong, I'll take the blame myself."

Zheng San's father also lost his temper, pulled Zheng San back, and then went outside.

Before long, a large group of people headed towards the Fengshen Tree in Saihanba Town.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao and the others sang all the way towards the Wind-Suppressing Divine Tree.

What no one knew was that two other groups of people were also heading in this direction.

Of course, Lin Hao was not among those who did not know this, and his decision to go to Bashang to see the Zhenfeng Sacred Tree was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but rather a deliberate one.

This group of people were none other than the leaders and international experts who came to inspect the area, as well as the leaders of the Saihanba Forestry Bureau.

One group, led by Yu Zhenglai, set off on horseback with their superiors, while another group, led by Qu He and Li Zhong, traveled by car with their experts.

The original plan was to notify Lin Hao and the others, but the expert didn't like it here and seemed eager to go back.

This caught the forestry bureau off guard, so they hurriedly invited someone to assess the situation. However, the expert, Peiqi, was not willing to provide guidance, which was even noticed by the leader of the team.

Unfortunately, people lacked confidence at this time. Without Lao Su's approval, they always felt insecure.

However, the experts at Page expressed their disdain and even claimed that trees simply could not grow in Saihanba.

He scoffed at Yu Zhenglai's claim that this place was a royal garden a hundred years ago.

Faced with the rejection and disdain of the experts, the leaders could only reluctantly invite them to see the sacred tree in Bashang that could ward off the wind, in order to prove that what they said was true.

As a result, the car got stuck in a sand pit on the road, waking up the international experts who were fast asleep, and making them even more impatient.

So Yu Zheng's boss decided to first bring the experts to see the tree, and then bring the experts to find Lin Hao to see the saplings that Lin Hao had planted.

No, judging by its current size, it should be considered a forest!

Therefore, the goal of all four groups of people today is that Wind-Suppressing Divine Tree. You can imagine how lively this place will be today.
