Chapter 371 : Looking for Saplings

"Director Liu, can you help me find a poplar tree now?"

Jiang Fan said to Director Liu Gensheng of the Northwest Desert Management Bureau!

"sure!"

Liu Gensheng responded!

Then, he asked Jiang Fan and Lei Kun to get in the car, and they drove to a village not far away together!

After about ten minutes' drive, they arrived at their destination!

Liu Gensheng led them to randomly knock on the door of a farmer's house!

After a while, a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life came out!

When he saw Liu Gensheng, he greeted him warmly!

"Lao Gen, are you drunk? Come in quickly!"

Director Liu Gensheng was not angry when the other party called him "Lao Gen". Instead, he said with a smile on his face!

"I didn't come here to ask for water today, I had other things to do!"

"Just say whatever you want, my old horse will fully cooperate with the leader! Haha..."

Lao Ma said!

"It's not a big deal. Do you have poplar saplings at home now?"

"Popular euphratica saplings? It's already June now, why do you want this?" Lao Ma asked in confusion!

"The superior leader sent an expert to conduct experiments with Populus euphratica saplings!"

After Liu Gensheng finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Fan!

Lao Ma also looked at Jiang Fan, and then said with a puzzled look!

"Isn't he the expert sent by the leadership above?"

"Um!"

Liu Gensheng responded!

Lao Ma grinned and said with big yellow teeth!

"The experts this time are younger than last time! Haha..."

"Young man, have you ever seen a poplar tree?"

"I saw it in the desert on the way here!"

Jiang Fan answered truthfully!

To be honest, he didn’t know much about Populus euphratica. If the system hadn’t rewarded him with the Super Populus euphratica technology, he probably wouldn’t have recognized it even when he saw it!

After hearing Jiang Fan's answer, Lao Ma immediately laughed even louder!

"Little baby, where did you come from or where are you going back to? Controlling desertification is not as simple as you think!"

"Lao Gen... no, it's Director Liu. He graduated from Longguo Agricultural University. He must be a top student! After twenty years of research in this desert, he has not stopped the erosion of desertification step by step..."

When Liu Gensheng heard what Lao Ma said, his face suddenly turned red, full of shame!

He has been assigned here since graduation. Although there are still achievements, they are minimal!

Jiang Fan also heard that Lao Ma didn't trust him very much!

Just when Jiang Fan was about to speak, Liu Gensheng said to Lao Ma!

"Old Ma, do you have poplar euphratica saplings at home?"

When Lao Ma saw that Liu Gensheng didn't look very good, he knew that he might have said the wrong thing!

So he opened his mouth and smiled and said!

"Lao Gen, I don't have one at home!"

"You don't have one at home, why are you talking so much?"

After Liu Gensheng finished speaking, he was about to leave with Jiang Fan and go to other homes to find Populus euphratica saplings!

Lao Ma hurriedly walked up, took Liu Gensheng's arm and said!

"Lao Gen, don't worry, although my family doesn't have it, my brother's family does!"

"Okay, I get it!"

Liu Gensheng took Jiang Fan and walked to the village chief's house!

The old horse was chasing after me and shouting!

"Lao Gen, Lao Gen, the village chief is my brother, I will take you there!"

Normally, Lao Ma would not mind such noisy matters, but today he was very curious as to why the experts sent by the superiors were in trouble!

The village chief's house is not very far from Lao Ma's house, about a five-minute walk!

When they arrived at the village chief's house, before Liu Gensheng could say anything, Lao Ma told his brother the situation!

Village Chief Ma’s reaction was exactly the same as that of Lao Ma. They are truly brothers!

"Director Lao Gen, there are no Populus euphratica saplings in my house now. They were taken away by a relative two days ago!"

Liu Gensheng was a little disappointed, and then said, "Okay, I'll go to other places to have a look!"

"Director Lao Gen, it's such a hot day. You don't have to go there in person. I'll shout over the village loudspeaker. If anyone has poplar euphratica saplings, I'll ask them to deliver them!"

Village Chief Ma didn't wait for Liu Gensheng's consent, turned on the loudspeaker equipment, and shouted!

He also specially emphasized the experts sent by the leaders above!

In less than two minutes, an old man walked into the village chief's house with a poplar sapling!

The Populus euphratica sapling in his hand was only half a meter tall, with its roots wrapped in soil. There were a few scattered leaves hanging on the branches, and it was also a little yellow. You could tell at a glance that it would not live long!

Liu Gensheng frowned slightly. He could tell at a glance that this poplar sapling could not survive in the desert for an hour!

"Old man, do you have any other poplar saplings?"

"No more. This is the only one I have at home! I was going to use it for cooking pots in two days!"

"Old man, your poplar sapling is useless!" Liu Gensheng said!

At this time, Jiang Fan came over, looked around, and said to Liu Gensheng!

"Director Liu, this Populus euphratica sapling can be used!"

When the village chief and Lao Ma heard what Jiang Fan said, they were immediately sure that this expert sent by the superiors definitely didn't understand forest trees!

Even farmers like them can tell at a glance that such a sapling is not going to survive.

But this young expert said yes!

Isn't this funny?

"Professor Jiang Fan, this Populus euphratica sapling will not live long, I will find you another one!"

Liu Gengsheng said!

"It's okay, Director Liu, this one is fine!"

Jiang Fan declined!

At this moment, another villager came to the village chief's house, also holding a Populus euphratica sapling in his hand!

From the appearance, this tree is much better than the one the old man picked up just now.

Just when Liu Gensheng went up to catch the Populus euphratica sapling, another villager holding a Populus euphratica sapling came in at the gate!

Then, after a while, the courtyard of the village chief’s house was filled with villagers!

Some came with saplings, while others came empty-handed!

More than half of the villagers in the village came over. They were all very curious as to what experts had been sent here this time!

When they saw Jiang Fan, they immediately started talking quietly!

"Is this little kid the expert sent by the leadership above?"

"Yes, I asked the village chief just now!"

"No way, at such a young age, what can he know?"

"Although the expert who came last time didn't understand anything, at least he was older and had some credibility! This time it's too much, send a young man!"

"You don't know, right? Just now Lao Zhangtou took a dying sapling, and this young expert actually said it can be planted! I don't think he understands anything!"

"..."

Jiang Fan heard all these people's discussions, but he was not angry.

It seems that before he came here, the country also sent many experts here!

From the content of their conversation, Jiang Fan could tell that those experts had no effect!

"Professor Jiang Fan, you can choose any of these saplings!" Liu Gensheng said!
