On this day, Qin Yue was simply crazy. She took a lot of photos in the mushroom circle and pine forest and other places. She originally brought the four rolls of film that had been used up for this trip, but she only used one of them in one day. Qin Yue still didn't bring enough.

Lu Wushuang spent a day in Beitian Mountain last year. Although he was very happy, he was not as excited as Qin Yue.

For lunch, I simply had a picnic here. The natural wild game made Qin Yue feel excited. They stayed until the sun was about to set before returning.

In the car, Qin Yue said to Lin Tao: "After Wushuang is in vain to praise you! You can find such a beautiful place, I am convinced of you!"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "The time has not come yet, otherwise you will be even more excited if you see the snow lotus?"

"What? You said you could see the snow lotus." When Qin Yue heard this, she stood up suddenly, then hit her head on the roof of the car with a "bang", scaring the driver and stopping quickly.

Qin Yue ignored the pain and touched her head with one hand and waved her hand and said it was okay, then asked Lin Tao: "Can you really see it?"

"It seems like I have to wait another half a month. But it's time, and seeing this thing should be fine."

At this time, snow lotus flowers were not that difficult to find. Unlike in a few years, a company in Xijiang produced snow lotus safflower and sucked a singer, took a helicopter, and flew along the Tianshan Mountains for a week, but could not find snow lotus.

Let’s popularize common sense: In the eyes of outsiders, snow lotus is just one type. But in the eyes of locals in Western Xinjiang, those that grow below the snow line are called stone lotus, and only those that grow above the snow line can be called snow lotus.

However, Lin Tao knew that there will be fewer and fewer snow lotus in the future, but this is a human reason.

In the past, in the 1960s and 1970s, above the snow line, when snow lotus bloomed in June, July and August, it was easy for herders or special herb collectors to find snow lotus.

Of course, this snow lotus is not as mentioned in martial arts. It can be used to live and die, but its medicinal value is very great.

Snow lotus is warm in nature, sweet and bitter in taste, enters the three meridians of the liver, spleen and kidney, and has the function of eliminating cold, strengthening yang, regulating menstruation and stopping bleeding. It is used to treat impotence, waist and knees, irregular menstruation and melancholy under the melancholy and melancholy, and other symptoms. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: Snow lotus "has a great heat in nature, can replenish yang"; "Xinjiang Chinese Herbal Medicine" records: "Snow lotus is warm in nature, slightly bitter in nature, and functions to eliminate wind and remove dampness".

Therefore, since ancient times, snow lotus has been a holy medicinal product, so it has always been the goal of herbal collectors.

But in fact, because people used to collect snow lotus scientific techniques, the stock of snow lotus was large, but later people dug it in large quantities, resulting in the almost extinction of snow lotus. In 1996, China listed Tianshan snow lotus as a second-level protected plant. Tianshan snow lotus is the only snow lotus plant listed in the "Chinese Plant Red Book" and is a national third-level endangered species in China. In 2000, the State Council Document No. 13 explicitly prohibited the digging of wild snow lotus.

The reason why snow lotus disappears is that it is difficult to grow. The yield of snow lotus is extremely low. It takes five years for snow lotus to germinate and bloom. The seedlings germinate at zero degrees Celsius and grow at three to five degrees Celsius. The seedlings can withstand the low temperature of minus twenty-one degrees Celsius, but the actual growth period is less than two months. In this short growth period, snow lotus has a strong vitality and the plant height can exceed other plants by five times. However, the growth environment is special and it can only bloom and bear fruit in 3 to 5 years. During the flowering period, the seeds drift in the mountains with the wind. Only when they encounter seeds with suitable environments can they germinate and grow.

Secondly, it is the digging person who digs uncontrollably.

You should know that only the flowers of medicinal snow lotus are used. Therefore, those who knew how to use the knowledge in the past would cut off the snow lotus directly and leave the roots, so that they could continue to grow and bloom in the next year.

But some people are obsessed with greed and directly dig out the snow lotus at the roots and cannot grow again, resulting in fewer and fewer snow lotus. If this situation continues, it will probably disappear.

Lin Tao remembers that in one year later, some hikers entered Tianshan to hike and found a large area of ​​wild snow lotus. Then they dug out all the snow lotus and placed it on the ground to take photos as a souvenir to show off. They were criticized by a large number of pens and despised.

The snow lotus is already endangered. How many can it be left if it is excavated like this?

In the evening, after dinner, Lu Wushuang and Qin Yue asked Lin Tao: "Where will you go tomorrow?"

Lin Tao said: "Tomorrow, go to the village, I want to inquire about the land contracted here."

"It turns out you didn't come here specifically with us?" Qin Yue seemed to discover a new continent suddenly and screamed: "I just knew you were not so kind!"

"Go along the way!" Lin Tao absolutely did not admit the accusation and said with a smile: "Look, I will bring you here. Isn't the scenery I see along the way in vain?"

"That's right!" Qin Yue nodded, she admitted this. Although the road was a little farther, the scenery was excellent, which was something she had never thought of. She didn't expect that the Western Xinjiang, which was rumored to be full of wind and sand, had such a magnificent and wonderful scenery!

"Then I finished the business yesterday. I will take you to see Mushroom Beach, and also take you to see the ancient sites, and tell the story of twenty-five warriors defeating more than 10,000 enemy soldiers!"

"Twenty-five to ten thousand? Are you coaxing ghosts?" Qin Yue didn't believe it at all, and Lin Tao smiled: "You will know when you go."

This is true, Lin Tao is not lying.

The next morning, Lin Tao and Lu Wushuang and Qin Yue went to a township under Zhaosu County.

Lin Tao came over and directly contacted the soil management office in charge of land contracting.

"Land contract?" The earth management office immediately became interested when they heard this. In fact, they had already received a call before, asking for a "grand reception". The director personally poured tea: "How much contract?"

The planting season has passed, and the land contracted is mainly in autumn, but Lin Tao came to inspect it. If there is no problem, it is OK to contract in advance.

"Start 10,000 acres!" Lin Tao thought for a while and said.

When he heard so much, the director laughed: "No problem! We can contract a lot of arable land here, and there is no problem with 10,000 mu! But the location..."

"Close to the 9th Company of the Corps." Lin Tao said without thinking: "I remember there is a large area nearby that is relatively flat, just there. After planting this year, I will book it first. How about it?"

"Okay!" The director gritted his teeth and agreed, "There are 17,000 acres there, the rent..."

"By market price!" Lin Tao did not bargain, so there was no need to bargain.

"That's fine!" Director was really relieved this time. He was afraid that the other party would use his power to suppress others, so he said that the other party would agree to anything. Now that the other party is so reasonable, what else can he say?

After signing the contract, he refused the director's medicine. After coming out, Lu Wushuang asked curiously: "Why should I contract the land here? So far..."
