The Grand Minister of Agriculture believed that as long as he found an oasis, he would plant the poplar seeds, and in 2-4 years, a large poplar forest would surely grow in the desert.
Well, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
The desert is not as gentle as it seems; it is full of mysteries.
On the first day after entering the desert, the Grand Minister of Agriculture almost suffered from heatstroke, but fortunately it was the first day and there was plenty of water and food.
The temperature suddenly dropped at night, and it was a bit hard to get used to.
Fortunately, there were tents, so sleeping inside was okay. However, sleeping in the wild, and hearing that there were wolves and scorpions in the desert, made it difficult for anyone to sleep soundly.
The night passed quickly, and as soon as it was dawn, the guide woke me up.
Let's continue our journey while it's still not too hot.
As for washing up, forget it. There's no water. They'll just stay dirty.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture had a bad habit: he was obsessed with cleanliness.
Despite spending his days working the land, he always makes sure to clean himself up before going to bed.
Being unable to shower at night and not being able to wash up early the next morning seemed to be the limit for the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
As a result, around noon, these people encountered a small sandstorm.
Upon seeing the sandstorm, the guide immediately shouted for everyone to lie down.
The clever ones all clung to the camels and lay down, but one fool was so frightened that he rode off on a camel.
When the sandstorm passed, the man and the camel had disappeared. It just so happened that the camel was carrying the seeds.
What's the purpose of going into the desert? Isn't it just to plant trees and grass?
Now that the seed is gone, what's the point of going in?
They waited in the same spot for several hours, but no one came back.
People speculated that the man and the camel had basically disappeared.
The most likely explanation for disappearing in the desert is that they are buried under some sand dune.
One person was lost and the seeds were also lost after only one day out.
This was a major blow to the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and also a warning to him for ignoring advice and acting willfully.
After careful consideration, the Grand Minister of Agriculture decided to return by the same route.
The group breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the Grand Minister of Agriculture's decision.
The guide, however, was very unwilling to give up.
"Sir, we're going into the desert now, what about my wages?"
The Grand Minister of Agriculture rolled his eyes at the guide, annoyed. "You'll get your share."
He, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, can now swallow his pride and turn back. You, a mere guide, are still worried about such a small amount of money. That's just too much.
After waiting in vain, the group set sail and headed back.
It took a day to go out, but about two days to walk back.
Because they encountered wolves.
Desert wolves are not so easy to deal with.
This team has ten guards.
There were four people who came with the Grand Minister of Agriculture to conduct agricultural research, along with a dozen or so farmers who were responsible for physical labor.
Upon seeing the wolves, everyone except the guards immediately panicked.
Finally, it was the Grand Minister of Agriculture who shouted that he would reward ten taels of silver for killing a wolf, which finally aroused the fighting spirit of the dozen or so farmers.
Fortunately, the wolf pack they encountered was not very large, consisting of only a dozen or so wolves.
After a fierce battle, they finally wiped out all the wolves.
Seven or eight farmers were injured, and two of the Grand Minister of Agriculture's assistants were also injured.
On the evening of the fourth day, the local people who were responsible for patrolling the desert area were very surprised to see the disheveled group returning.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture and his entourage set off in a rather high-profile manner.
There's no one around here who doesn't know them.
