Chapter 191 187. The Road to the Birth Flower (99, ask for tickets)

After hearing what Old Wang said, Hani and Charlie's eyes widened at the same time: "Dude, did you make a mistake? Plant flowers and trees here? Seriously, your idea is quite weird."

Lao Wang was confident: "Why not? Isn't it normal to plant something on both sides of the road? The bare road is so ugly, if we plant beautiful flowers and plants, maybe we can turn this road into a tourist attraction."

New Zealand is different from China in this regard. There are few trees on both sides of the road, let alone flowers and plants. Of course, there are almost no trees on both sides of the highways in China, but in New Zealand, the roads are bare on both sides, unless there are some trees growing on them.

Wang Bo felt strange at first, but after searching online, he realized that the root system of trees can also damage the foundation of roads, so trees are not often planted on both sides of roads in New Zealand.

In addition, New Zealand pays attention to the beauty of nature, and generally does not artificially plant flowers and trees in pursuit of beauty.

Of course, the most important thing is: planting flowers and grass on both sides of the road will cost money, and the New Zealand government and local governments are unwilling to pay this money, which will be considered as squandering the hard-earned money of taxpayers.

Wang Bo didn't care. He had just received 1.5 million earthquake supplements. There was nowhere to use the money, so he could just use it to buy flowers and trees.

After hearing what he said, Hani still shook his head and said, "You are right, mayor, but you must know that the existence of this spring may threaten the life of the road. Let's block him."

Wang Bo shrugged and said, "Does the lifespan of the road have something to do with me? No, but if the road is turned into a scenic spot, it has a lot to do with me."

What he said was a bit unqualified, and Hani felt this way, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mayor, it's wrong for you to do this. This is harming others and benefiting yourself."

Old Wang sneered and said, "Come on, Charlie, explain to our honest inspector why I do things that harm others and benefit myself, and tell him how the government treats me."

Charlie laughed dryly and told Hani the government's plan.

The Inspector is an upright man, and he is not pedantic. After hearing the explanation, he flew into a rage and shouted: "These sons of bitch politicians! If this is the case, then we can live our lives, mayor, don't Take care of the road!"

In fact, Wang Bo has been very restrained. He didn't do things too much. The heart of the spring is still hundreds of meters away from the road. The stream winds down, and there is also a distance across the road. It has little impact on the foundation. Just pay attention to maintenance. .

From the current point of view, Highway No. 8 is the foundation of the town, and he still has a view of the overall situation.

It is easy to have someone under his command to do things. Wang Bo will give orders, and the Mexican pretty boy will go to choose flowers and trees, and he can make a pot of hot tea and wait slowly.

Sitting in the hall teasing the army commander, the queen, and the strong men, Lao Wang had a pot of tea and a chair, and the time passed slowly, and the day passed comfortably.

Of course, he doesn't do nothing, at least he has to plan the order in which the flowers and plants on the roadside will be carried out.

Bowen went to Maori to recruit workers. Planting flowers, plants and trees is a manual job. If there are fewer people, it will not work. There are specialized gardening workers in New Zealand, but their asking price is relatively high. Besides, it costs money anyway, why not let your own people make money?

It is good for Maori to do part-time work, but formal workers are not suitable. They are too lazy and like to entertain. As long as they get paid, they have to enjoy life, which is easy to delay work.

New Zealand's short-term workers are mainly supported by two types of people. One is tourists. There is a visa called a working visa, which usually lasts for one year. It is very popular with young tourists. They travel while working and earning money.

The other is the Maori. They do part-time work to earn some money, then go to entertainment and enjoyment, and then do part-time work after spending the money, and so on.

What Wang Bo offered was to plant trees, 100 meters and 10 New Zealand dollars. Generally, four trees are planted. Workers who are more diligent can earn more than 1,000 yuan a day. As for flowers and plants, he doesn't need Maori, he can solve them by himself.

The pretty boy from Mexico was very quick to do things. The next day, a garden company came to the town to deliver the seeds of flowers and trees. Several large trailers were dragging full of saplings, with a total value of 250,000 New Zealand dollars.

According to his design, the trees planted on both sides of the road are mainly magnolia, red maple, rhododendron and wintersweet. Among them, magnolia blooms in spring, rhododendron blooms in summer, red maple is beautiful in autumn, and wintersweet blooms in winter.

In this way, Highway 8 can gather flowers in all seasons, and there are beautiful scenery for tourists to watch all year round.

But when the people from the gardening company came and learned of his idea, they suggested that he plant some jacarandas, and said, "Sir, this kind of flower is beautiful. When the blue flowers flutter with the wind, the beautiful scene is enough to make an angel stop." .”

Wang Bo had never heard of this kind of flower, so he looked it up online.

Indeed, Jacaranda blooms beautifully. Its flowers are blue. This kind of tree is planted on both sides of the campus roads of many universities in Australia. When it blooms, even people from other places come to watch it.

Moreover, this kind of tree not only has ornamental value, but also has economic value. Its wood is yellowish white to gray, soft and light in texture, straight in texture, easy to process, and can be used to make furniture.

Of course, this kind of sapling is not cheap, one costs 400 New Zealand dollars, and Wang Bo plans to plant jacarandas five kilometers away. If two trees are planted per 100 meters, it will cost 40,000 yuan.

If it is a small sapling, it is actually not so expensive. One tree costs more than ten New Zealand dollars or tens of New Zealand dollars.

The saplings Wang Bo bought were half-sized trees, such as jacarandas. The smallest saplings of this kind of tree were only six centimeters, but the ones he bought were one and a half meters tall, so they were naturally more expensive.

However, there are advantages to being expensive. Firstly, the survival rate can be guaranteed, and secondly, the growth rate is fast enough. This kind of tree can grow to a height of fifteen meters. If it grows from a small sapling, it is too slow.

Other trees are also at this height, and they will bloom within one or two years after planting, and the results can be seen in the shortest time.

As for the seeds of flowers and plants, the ones he bought are more complicated. The Sunset Town section of Highway 8 is relatively long. Wang Bo dedicated 20 kilometers to planting trees, and he wanted to use the rest of the section to plant flowers.

As for the type of flower? He chose a total of 365 kinds, yes, a full 365 kinds: his idea is to build a birth flower road, one kind of flower per kilometer, and plant more than 30 kilometers!

Others in the town didn't know his idea. When they saw the garden company moving boxes of flower seeds from the car, Hani, Charlie, Cowboy and others were surprised: "How many kinds of flowers did you buy?"

Wang Bo shrugged and said, "365 kinds, covering the birth flower types of the whole year, how about it?"

"Schete, you must be crazy!"
