Chapter 17: The Col Nobody Wants
Ma Xiaofan took the rare one who didn't sleep early in the morning, Xiaobai went out, he wanted to go around the village and find a suitable place for agricultural planting, but after the transformation of the village and even the neighboring villages, he didn't find a very suitable place, because now young people are going out to work, and many farmlands have been planted with poplar trees. It's just that there are no places where fast-growing poplars are planted, they are too close to this village, and the shocking crops planted under the noses of the villagers are too conspicuous, which is not what Ma Xiaofan wants, even if the place is a little smaller, as long as it can't attract the attention of others.
"Xiaofan, I see that you have changed the surrounding villages in the past few days, and you haven't found a suitable place or what?" Ma Xiaofan's behavior in the past few days has been seen by his plain and taciturn father.
"Yes Dad, it's a little something, I want to find a piece of land, under normal circumstances, few people go to a piece of land, the land is a little better, it doesn't matter if it's not suitable for planting, it's no problem, it's mainly hidden, because what I want to do is that now scientific planting technology needs a certain degree of confidentiality, if it's around the village, it's not difficult to manage." Seeing his father ask this, Ma Xiaofan told his father about the problems he had encountered in the past two days, after all, his father was an authentic farmer who had lived in his village all his life, and if there was a suitable place for him, it must be no problem to ask his father.
"If it is said that it doesn't matter whether the land is good or bad, there is really a place like this you said, that is, there is a mountain col in the east of our village, there is about three or four hundred acres of flat land in it, because there is no road in the past, and there is not much soil, if you go to plant crops, there are many rabbits and squirrels on the mountain, twenty or thirty years ago, there were still people loading things there, and after planting for two years, they found that the seeds were thrown in vain, and until now that place is barren, only the people in the village who herd sheep occasionally go over." Ma Xiaofan's request, thought about it carefully, frowned, and said to Ma Xiaofan.
"Great, Dad, can you take me to see it? If you can, that's my base for a long time to come."
Hearing the place and general situation that his father said, Ma Xiaofan said to his father excitedly.
"Okay, I'll take you to see it now, you know if it's suitable or not, if you really want it, I'll go to the village and say it when the time comes" Ma Fu didn't say anything after speaking, and led Ma Xiaofan into the mountain in front.
Looking at the col in front of him, Ma Xiaofan was faintly excited. The wound into the mountain is very small, only a few tens of meters wide, but after entering the mountain, this col is close to 1000 acres large, my father said, the place that can be planted before is the middle part of the col, but in Ma Xiaofan's eyes, the whole col is the most perfect place he wants to find, there is no road into the mountain and is not suitable for planting, it is a big problem for ordinary rice pushing, but it is really not a problem for Ma Xiaofan, only a mountain pass can be entered, the road surface is a vertical and steep mountain wall, because the opening is just facing south, the temperature in the col is very high at noon, if it does not rain for a long time, even the grass in the col can die。
"This is it, even I haven't been here for more than ten years, this place belongs to our village, but after this mountain pass, the other side of the mountain, it doesn't belong to our Shantai area, and it's in Yilin" Although Ma Xiaofan's father is almost 60 years old, he doesn't take a breath all the way to here.
"Are you sure this is the place you are looking for, if you really want to plant at home, I can go to the village and say, you can contract some first-class land in the village, because now the young people in the village have gone out to work, a lot of land at home is idle, and the remaining old people and women have also planted so much land, you can rent it for a small price, there is really no need to choose this" Seeing Wang Xiaofan's eyes shining at this mountain pass, Ma Xiaofan's father confirmed to Ma Xiaofan again.
"Dad is here, there is no more suitable place than here, the three or four hundred acres you said are the previous big acres, the entire col adds up to the current 1000 acres of acres, I decided, my early base is located here, Dad, let's go back to the village and discuss with the village again, see if we can rent or buy it" Seeing this, Ma Xiaofan had already strengthened his thoughts, so he decided to go back to the village with his father to discuss with the village to see if he could lease or buy this col.
Ma Xiaofan and his father went directly to the village party secretary's house without feeling tired, because Ma Xiaofan's Majiazhuang Village is remote and very poor, now the village party secretary and director have Ma Aiguo in the village, and the entire village branch also has an Uncle Wen, a women's director, a total of three people.
"His third uncle, aren't you busy at this time?" Ma Xiaofan and his father came to the village party secretary Ma Aiguo, and Ma Xiaofan's father planned to inquire about the mountain pass.
"Oh, big brother, why did you have the strength to come to my house today? Please sit down, please sit down, do you have something to do here? Since the villagers usually come to their homes to do things for themselves, Ma Aiguo said to Ma Xiaofan's father with a familiar car.
Now he responds to the call of the party and the state and returns to the countryside to develop rural construction, because my family Xiaofan studied modern agricultural planting technology in college, and Xiaofan himself has some achievements outside, so he doesn't want to go back to our village to rent some land and drive the villagers to get rich through agriculture." Ma Xiaofan's father picked up some nice words in front of Ma Aiguo, the village party secretary, even if he didn't know what he meant by these words, but he was still happy to praise his children with these words, not to mention that if he said so, there was a great possibility that Ma Aiguo, the village party secretary, would agree.
"Contracting land is a good thing, now the state supports the manor economy and the farm economy, and supports land circulation, because land circulation can more centralize land, improve production and quality, and bring higher income to the people. If Xiao Fan really wants to do agriculture in the village, you can draw it directly which piece of land you like, tell me, I'll run for you, I think the villagers in our village are very happy, not to mention that I see the car that Xiao Fan drove home, I heard my son say hundreds of thousands, Xiao Fan must be doing big business outside, as long as you don't pit the people, I can give you a guarantee of the land you want." Ma Xiaofan, the village party secretary, agreed very happily to stay in the village, because now there is no collective income in the village, and it is difficult for the entire village branch to maintain it by relying only on the financial allocation of a few thousand yuan from the township government every year.
"Besides, I went out of our Majia Village, and the people in the village are all my elders, so how can I pit the elders in the village? I am planting and popularizing agriculture through the knowledge I have learned in the village, and I want to lead the villagers to make a fortune," Ma Xiaofan said when he saw the village party secretary, and hurriedly assured.
"Okay, I'm relieved to have a big nephew, you tell me, which piece of land you are optimistic about, and when the crops are harvested, I will definitely run down for you" Because Ma Xiaofan's father has been honest in the village all his life, and his child Ma Xiaofan has always been praised, seeing Ma Xiaofan said so sincerely, the village chief Ma Aiguo patted his chest and assured Ma Xiaofan.
"Third uncle, what I like is the col in the big black mountain in our village, I want to rent it or buy it, can you see it?" Seeing that we are so patriotic, Ma Xiaofan did not hesitate, and directly said the place he liked.
"Ah, you're talking about that place, where birds don't, planting some crops and not harvesting a single crop, and it's not easy to even go up to the road, there used to be a farming path, and no one has gone for decades and now it's all deserted, you better change to another place, I'm afraid you go there and throw it in if you have more money" Hearing that Ma Xiaofan was in the col, Ma Aiguo, the secretary of the Youth League, still persuaded Ma Xiaofan to change places with a conscience.
"Third uncle, I'm quite optimistic about that place, because I'm there to do some seed cultivation and research in other places, it's a little inappropriate, I think it's still very good to transform that place" Ma Xiaofan just took a fancy to that mountain col, and now it is impossible for the secretary of the country to let him change places, so he hurriedly continued.
"Are you sure you really want that mountain col?" When the time comes, invest the money, and don't blame your third uncle for not reminding you" Ma Aiguo, the village party secretary, is still not optimistic about Ma Xiaofan going to the mountain col of Da Heishan to develop agriculture, and still wants to let Ma Xiaofan go to the land in other places, because the land in other places is good land, if it can be transferred hundreds or thousands of acres, not only the people can have a stable income, but even the village collective will have a relatively large income.
"Third uncle, I'm really sure I want that mountain pass, how do you see what you do in your legs? You draft a contract, you can rent this place to me, I can buy it directly" Seeing that the patriotic branch secretary still wanted to persuade himself to go somewhere else to leave brick land, Ma Xiaofan hurriedly said.
"It's no problem if you rent, if you sell it, the village can't be the master, and you have to report to the town, but I don't know how it is, you still rent, you can decide the price in the village is cheap, you can give some money casually, you can go and clean up the place if you want" Ma Aiguo, the village party secretary, heard that he just wanted that mountain col, usually no one wants to go to that place, if it can be rented out, it can also generate three or two thousand income for the village collective every year, and it is better than thinking about it there.
"Okay, then I'll rent it, you see how many years I can rent it at most, if the contract is a contract, do you think it's out of the village or if I do a good job of the contract, you can take a look?" Ma Xiaofan saw the branch secretary Ma Aiguo, and agreed to hurry up and hit the railway while it was hot.
"The village can sign a lease contract for you for a maximum of 30 years, you can just find a contract and take it to me to take a look, I can make the decision on this matter, there is no need to hold a meeting of the villagers' representatives, because that col belongs to the village collective, I can make this decision on behalf of the village collective." Ma Aiguo, the village party secretary, saw that things had come to this point, and he couldn't persuade him, so he simply agreed.
"Okay, third uncle, you are busy, I will go to prepare the lease contract now, can you take it over for a while? If you can, we will sign it today" Ma Xiaofan saw that the matter had been negotiated, and it was unexpectedly simple, in order to avoid other changes, so he ran home to sort out the contract.
"They said that Xiaofan is still a child, we can't figure out what he thinks, you still have to take care of it" Ma Xiaofan's father didn't, so Ma Xiaofan left together, but stayed in the country and continued to chat with Ma Aiguo.
"I'm worried that Xiaofan, this kid, will suffer a loss, the old big black mountain col, don't you know, what can be grown in it?" Ma Aiguo, the village party secretary, really doesn't know what to say to him now.
"Xiaofan told me, we don't know what modern scientific planting he did in that place, since he said so, he should have his own set" In fact, Ma Xiaofan's father still doesn't know what Ma Xiaofan wants to get there, so he can only talk about Ma Xiaofan's major.
