In June, the ice and snow have melted.

The earth that had been washed away by the glaciers and snow water had begun to gradually warm up.

At this time, the swelling is relatively cool, and it can even make people feel hot at noon. However, even on the lowest temperature night, when people walk out, just put on a sweater and coat.

At this time of year, the leaders of Tibet would patrol along the Maquan River.

There is no way. Every year when the snow water melts, the river beach will become more barren. The river sand will fly from the river with the strong wind, causing very serious land desertification.

This incident has attracted the attention of Tibetan leaders, who have been trying to find ways to curb the desertification problem near the Maquan River and protect the pastures.

The pasture is extremely important to Tibetans.

Tibetan herders have lived by grazing for generations, and livestock are their wealth. Every herder wants to have more livestock, because only with more livestock can they become rich.

However, with too many animals, the grassland will not change, and because of desertification, it shrinks every year, which is a very headache.

In the lower reaches of the Maquan River, because it is low in altitude and is close to Sara and Zhilin, which have concentrated populations, desertification control is very good.

But as you slowly walk up the Maquan River, the situation becomes complicated.

Because there is no flow of snow, some river beaches have become dry or narrower, and the river sand below is exposed. When the wind blows, it begins to erode the grassland everywhere and spread around.

This problem has not been solved well before. I can only spend a lot of effort to tease the square to suppress it to a certain extent, but it has not fundamentally solved the problem.

But this year, things seem to have changed a little.

The leaders came to a section of the river and looked at the lush plants on the river. They stopped the car and checked for a long time.

"What kind of plant is this? When did it be planted? I remember that at this time last year, it was still full of sand, right?"

The leader was obviously very concerned about this matter. He still remembered the scenes he had seen last year, so he saw the difference just as soon as he got to the point and immediately asked.

As the general manager of desertification control, Luo Ying has been accompanying the leader to inspect.

After hearing the leader's question, she hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "This is the sand-bred locust that we introduced from the northwest last year. It is a very special variety. It is specially used for sand control. Although it has been planted for less than a year, it has a very good effect. Leader, you see, it is originally a river beach, covered with ice and snow in winter, and when the snow melts, the cold snow water flows by, and no plants can survive, but these sand-bred locusts are fine. After the snow water, they will grow again, which not only maintains the soil and can also turn into very good forage."

The leader walked over and carefully checked the growth of the raw locust tree. He couldn't help but pick a few leaves, put them in his mouth, and chewed them gently, as if he was a grassy animal, and tasted the taste of raw locust tree.

After chewing for a while, the leader nodded: "My mother is also a herdsman. My family has raised cattle and sheep since childhood. This is how the mother raised our five children. When I was very hungry when I was a child, I often ate their forage with cattle and sheep, wanting to try whether it can fill my stomach like them."

The leader sighed that the days of poverty in the past are far away from him now, but he still remembers the scene at that time.

After pausing for a moment, he smiled and said, "It's because of this that my mouth knows how to taste the quality of the grass. These raw locusts taste very good, and cattle and sheep should love it."

Luo Ying thought this statement was quite interesting. The human stomach could not digest these forages at all. However, through observation, she found that cattle and sheep really liked to eat these raw sophora.

She tried to put some of the grass that cattle and sheep especially like to eat with the leaves of raw sophora from the sand. Unexpectedly, most cattle and sheep actually chose raw sophora from the sand. Through the result of the selection with her feet, it can be seen that cattle and sheep prefer to eat these raw sophora from the sand.

The leader pointed to the river beach, and the herdsmen who were working hard to plant sand-growing locusts, and asked, "Are you going to plant this sand-growing locusts here?"

“Yes, from here to there, I will plant them all.”

Luo Ying pointed to the distance and introduced to the leader: "We had planted sandy locusts on this small scale last year and found that the effect was very good. So this year we bought more of this sandy locusts and prepared to plant all the nearby river beaches. The desertification situation in this generation next year should be curbed."

The leader was very happy because he felt that the problem that had troubled him for a long time seemed to see a little hope of completely solving it.

Most Tibetan families are from serfs and are not afraid of hardship. They are willing to work hard to protect their pastures. What they are afraid of is that they cannot find a good solution, so they can only watch their pastures be swallowed up bit by bit by bit by bit by wind and sand.

The leader nodded: "Okay, your achievements should be shared so that more people can know where did you buy this kind of sand-born locust?"

Luo Ying explained: "We bought it from a company called Muya Forestry in the northwest. Each plant costs one yuan. This year we bought five million plants."

"One plant costs one dollar?"

The leader was from a poor family, and his father died early. The family relied on his mother's hard work to raise their brothers and sisters, so he was used to breaking a dollar into several dollars.

Now that he heard that a sand-red locust tree costs one dollar, his eyelids immediately jumped up and kept jumping: "Why is it so expensive? I heard that one dollar can buy several saplings in the market. Last time, Nandan told me that if you purchase in large quantities, you can buy eight white saps for one dollar."

Luo Ying shook her head after hearing this and explained: "Leader, it's different. Muya Forestry is a very powerful company in sand control and seedling cultivation. I went to see their company in person. This variety of sand-fried locust trees was developed by them for the environment in our plateau area. The cost is very high, so it is such a price."

After a slight meal, Luo Ying said: "Although the price is more expensive than other sandy plants, the Baila you mentioned here does not have such effect. We have planted Baila in the past, but they are not a problem in the sandy fields. They are not allowed to be planted on the river beach every year. Every year, they are frozen to death. However, this kind of sandy locust tree is not afraid of frozen snow water, and can withstand drying. The most important thing is that the livestock still loves to eat, and they kill three birds with one stone. They are the most suitable sand control plants here."

Finally, she summarized: "I think this price is inexpensive."
