Listening to the villagers chatting like this, Canghai had a general understanding of the life in the village, these old men and old ladies have little energy to farm themselves, so they rented the land in their town to others to plant, and they will earn a ration money in a year, although life is far better than ten years ago, but because of the thin foundation, now everyone's life is mixed to the level of just food and clothing, as for the rest, don't talk about it.

In their minds, the most lucrative livelihood for young people now is to go out to work, to work in the factory, which is far better than digging in the soil for a year.

"Grandpa Hu, isn't there anyone renting land here?" Canghai listened to everyone, and finally said the question in his heart.

Canghai doesn't know the situation in his hometown, but renting land in the south of the Yangtze River can be popular, and ordinary people don't necessarily rent land to plant, rent a large piece of land, and then mechanized information planting is far more efficient than a small farmer economic model of a family, and the cost of a high efficiency is reduced, and the income of an acre of land is naturally high.

Li Licheng took the last two puffs of his cigarette, and pinched the cigarette butt a little reluctantly: "That's good land, who will rent our land here? The country was going to do it at that time, and then it was over, let alone a person!"

Canghai asked strangely: "Is the country still ready to do it?"

Li Liren replied: "But it's not, but later I heard that experts calculated that it would cost tens of thousands of yuan to improve an acre of land, and the whole job was heard to be hundreds of billions, and in the end, the country couldn't afford to pay for it, so naturally there was no follow-up."

"It's not hundreds of billions, I heard that one acre is more than one million!" Qian Ximei also sat down at the table at this time, and said while eating peanuts.

Hearing Qian San's grandmother's words, Canghai smiled and didn't delve into it, this matter may exist, but it's hard to say the amount of money invested, even if this matter is correct at the beginning, after a few people, the taste may be completely different.

"Is it easy to rent land now?" Canghai asked.

In the end, it is the old village secretary, although he is very poor in the place, but he has always been very concerned about the policies of the central government, Hu Shijie thought for a while and opened his mouth and said: "It is not difficult to rent land, but if you want to rent good land, it is difficult, not to mention anything else, even if it is the land in the town, people who have no way to rent it generally don't want to rent it."

Canghai smiled: "I don't rent the land there, I just want to rent the land in front of our village!"

For Canghai's madness, everyone has understood it just now, and now that the land at the entrance of the village has emerged, everyone is also a little immune. But even so, Canghai's words still attracted the worried eyes of several people.

"What kind of rent do you want for these land, if you want to plant it, you can find a piece of land and plant it at will, we are all villagers, what else can we say?" Hu Shijie said.

Canghai took out another cigarette from his pocket, and scattered them one by one, and the pack of cigarettes was empty after two circles. After looking at the cigarette box with two or three left, Canghai simply turned around and went out, hid in a place where no one was seen, pinched a trick and smoked three more packs out of the space, and put them directly on the table after entering the kiln.

"By the way, Haiwazi, you can plant it at will, anyway, it's all the land in the village, we are all your elders, can we still be verbose?" Li Liren took another cigarette from the box that Canghai had just opened and hung it on his ear.

Canghai replied: "I'm not going to plant the land in the village, I'm going to rent the Phoenix Ditch to the Jiaozituo."

"What are you renting such a large piece of land for?" asked Hu Shijie.

Li Liren thought for a while, and asked Canghai: "Cangwazi, tell the master, is there a mine there?"

Hearing Li Liren say this, not to mention the old man at the table, even a few old women sitting on the outer layer pricked up their ears, as soon as they heard that there was a mine in these years, it meant that there was money.

Canghai was made to laugh and cry by Second Grandpa Li, and opened his mouth to ask: "You have lived here for so many years, have you ever seen a mine opened nearby?"

"Is that there!" Li Liren thought for a moment and shook his head.

Canghai's hometown, a radius of hundreds of miles of loess, the deepest is estimated to be hundreds of meters deep, even if there is a mine, you have to shovel the loess on it, with this workload is estimated to be better than getting a big ship to go abroad to transport it back.

"There is no mine, I just want to test my ideas," Canghai smiled.

"What do you think?" asked Hu Shijie.

Canghai is not afraid to tell these people, it is not too difficult for Canghai to fool around with their knowledge structure, so he opened his mouth and said: "I want to plant a special kind of tree, this tree will grow fast and absorb water, it can grow three or four meters tall in a year, absorb rainwater in the rainy season, and when it comes to the dry season, as soon as the tree stem is broken, the water in the tree will flow out, although the rainy season here is short, but I think that planting this tree can not store much water, it can also solidify the soil."

This is the method that Canghai has figured out in his heart these days, as a builder, although he is not a master, but he still knows something about some trees, and bottle trees are generally used as ornamental plants in China. This tree has a strong water storage capacity and a well-developed root system, which is very suitable for soil consolidation.

But now Canghai is ready to build a plant network with the seed of life as the core and the bottle tree as the node.

Of course, these are now only thought up by Canghai according to the knowledge imparted by the shadow, and whether it can be achieved depends on practice.

"Isn't there such a tree in the world that likes to absorb water?" Hu Shijie expressed doubt.

Canghai nodded and said: "Yes, this tree is called a bottle tree, it grows in an arid area, although the temperature in that place is higher than ours here, but I still want to try, once the soil is fixed, in fact, it also retains a part of the water in the soil, if there is water, then maybe you can grow some grass and shrubs or something, wait for more and then see if you can plant some other trees or something, and slowly this ecology may be restored."

Hu Shijie and the others still felt a little unreliable after listening to it and thinking about it for a while, in their thoughts, if it was as easy as Canghai said, someone would have done it a long time ago, where would they talk about him as a hairy boy.

"It's not going to work!" Li Licheng said.

Canghai did not persuade him, in fact, according to Canghai's plan, the first step was for him to rent land, and then there was a result, that is, to let the villagers rent land, and then take the road of common prosperity.

Of course, now this is just an idea, if you want to achieve Canghai yourself, you must first make achievements, if you only rely on words, then these simple and unique and shrewd farmers will not follow Canghai, let alone rent land like Canghai. But on the other hand, once Canghai has done this, even if he stops them from learning Canghai, it is estimated that it will not be possible.

Canghai didn't understand, it's useless to just talk about this thing, you just said that tens of millions of these things make money, and it doesn't make sense to sell this thing for a dollar.

Hu Shijie took two puffs of cigarette and began to give Canghai an idea: "Haiwazi, if you really want to rent, go to the township government in the town to ask, the news from my side is not allowed, if the township is not successful, you can go to the county to ask, like you want to rent such a large piece of land, it is estimated that the township can make a decision, at least you have to nod from the county to rent."

"Well, I'll ask by when I get back," Canghai nodded in response.

After asking about the things that should be asked, Canghai changed the topic and asked some things about everyone's life.

After listening for a while, Canghai understood that at least the life in the small village was no different from when he left, and the only big change was that the village was electrified, although it was said that one kilowatt-hour of electricity was more than one piece and nearly two pieces, and the voltage was not too stable, but there was finally electricity.

Chatting until more than ten o'clock, a group of old men and old ladies were a little sleepy, for them, as soon as the sun set, it was time to go to bed after dinner, and now because Canghai came back, staying up until ten o'clock was already considered a late sleep.

Seeing that everyone was sleepy, Canghai ended the topic with acquaintance, and Grandpa Hu took him to the kiln next door.

"You're going to spend one night, the quilt and pillow are sunburned, the ...... your uncle and your aunt used when they got married."

Needless to say, Canghai also saw that the whole bed of red quilts and red carpets, in addition to the kiln did not have a big red happy word, there was also a grain fence in the corner of the kiln, which was like a new house.

"It's okay, it's good enough, if you want to say that this residence has to be comfortable in the kiln, I lived at my third uncle's house in the town for one night yesterday, it was called a hot, and I slept until midnight and sweated all over" Canghai sat on the edge of the bed with a smile and began to take off his shoes and pants.

After living in the magic capital for so many years, Canghai is a little unaccustomed to the climate of his hometown, he originally lived in a cave, and now he sleeps in a heated room at first glance, and suddenly feels that his whole body is uncomfortable, and he is even more dry when he gets up early in the morning, and it is estimated that he will live for a few more days and will be full of fire bubbles.

"No matter how good the heating house is, it can't be as comfortable as a kiln that is warm in winter and cool in summer, but unfortunately the town can't dig a kiln, and there is no place to dig a kiln!"

Canghai's words can be regarded as into Hu Shijie's heart, in their opinion, the brick house is far less comfortable than the old cave to live in, not only comfortable but also save money, no heating in winter, no electricity in summer, economical.

"Then you go to sleep, you've run all the way, it's not comfortable to ride a motorcycle for a few hours, I'll bring the door for you" Hu Shige finished speaking, turned around and left Canghai's house, and closed the door with him.

Just as Canghai was about to undress, suddenly there was a voice outside.

"Why don't you go to sleep yet?" Hu Shijie scolded.

"Grandpa, I want to stay with my second brother"

Outside the door was Hu Ping'an's voice.

"Don't disturb your second brother Cang's sleep, go back to your own house honestly!

"Oh!"

Soon the footsteps of the grandfather and grandson disappeared outside the door.

took off his clothes and got into the quilt, Canghai put his head behind his head, and began to think about renting land, probably because he really rode a motorcycle for a few hours, and not long after he got into bed, Canghai fell asleep deeply.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that the sky outside was already bright, and a bright sunlight poured into the room through the window of the kiln.
