Chapter 5 Contracting Mountains and Forests
After a long time, Feng Tiance calmed down and sat on the ground.
Indeed, five million is a huge amount of money, at least for him, yes!
But when the ecstasy in his heart faded, he realized that he did not have the slightest sense of accomplishment. The money came too easily, he didn't pay any hardships, he was just enjoying the legacy of his grandfather.
"Alas, it's still a little distressing for the cub to sell Yetian!"
Feng Tiance shook his head and tried his best to put aside some negative emotions in his heart. He felt that since he already had a lot of money and a magical place like space, he should think more about what he had to do next.
Today, Liang Hongbo's big purchase of agarwood really opened his eyes.
He has long heard that people now have a good life, and they have an unusual fanaticism for antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and cultural curiosities. It's just that these things that cost money were too far away from him before, and he was not in the mood to study them.
"Now I can start with these things, I have to find a way to collect some of the seeds of agarwood or sandalwood trees and try to plant a few in the space. With the speed of space flow and the magic of the well water, I should be able to harvest some precious items. ”
Sandalwood is similar to agarwood, and it is also a valuable spice, medicinal herb and collection. Sandalwood is taken from the core material of sandalwood, which is really a kind of wood, and it is also a slow-growing tree species that takes decades or hundreds of years to mature.
It's just that whether it is an agarwood tree or a sandalwood tree, it is a tropical and subtropical tree species. It is almost impossible to find their seeds in Yishan.
Online shopping is convenient, but in Feng Tiance's experience, the probability of buying fake seeds is much greater than the probability of buying real seeds.
Fortunately, there is no urgency in this matter, if you really can't do it, you can ask Liang Hongbo for help, after all, it is much more convenient for Liang Lao to be in Yangcheng.
The most important thing to do at the moment, in addition to continuing to add new species to the space, is to contract a piece of woodland.
Having a forest farm of his own has always been Feng Tiance's dream.
It is difficult for a child who did not grow up in a mountain village to understand his feelings for the mountains and forests.
There are more than 200 households and more than 600 villagers in Xiegu Village, and there is not much land to cultivate. Mountain goods can be said to be an important economic source for every family.
Xu Laodao and Feng Tiance's living expenses and later his tuition fees, most of them came from the mountains and forests.
Xu Laodao does not charge money for medical treatment, but he will sell some herbs he picks. And Feng Tiance will also take advantage of the holiday rest days to go to the mountains to pick some wild mushrooms and catch a few wild rabbits to subsidize the family.
"Well, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time. I first planted all the branches, weeds, and herbs I had collected in the mountains today, and then I went to the Lin branch secretary to talk about contracting forest land. ”
The existence of space is invisible, he needs an identity on the surface, and he also needs a stage to show what he has learned.
The trees are still planted together, and all kinds of wild grasses are scattered among the trees, and the gaps left are large enough anyway. He was going to carve out a separate medicine field and arrange it with the vegetable patch in the future, which were all part of the experimental plan.
Feng Tiance plans to record the growth data of various species in detail as much as possible in the early stage, so as to have a good idea and make reasonable use of the space in the future.
A few hours later, Feng Tiance walked out of the space covered in stinky sweat and soil, and the actual time had only passed for more than ten minutes.
He rinsed it with well water in the yard, went back to the house and changed into clean clothes, and then went to Lin Youde's house.
"Auntie, do I have Uncle De at home?"
The courtyard door of Lin Youde's house was open, and when Feng Tiance walked in, he saw the hostess sitting at the door of the hall picking vegetables, so he asked with a smile.
"It's a heavenly policy. You have Uncle De who hasn't come back yet, he is busy all day, and he won't be home until the meal time. Come, move a stool and sit in the courtyard, just dinner here in the evening. ”
Lin Youde's daughter-in-law, Wang Chunlan, is forty-five or six years old, and she is not only tidy up, but also well-known for her work. When she was young, she was a famous "beauty" in ten miles and eight towns, and Lin Xiaojing looked like her.
"Okay, I'll rest in the courtyard for a while. ”
Feng Tiance didn't see it, he went into the house and moved a stool out, and sat at the door of the hall.
"Auntie, have you quietly returned to the county?"
"Isn't it? She went with the guest, saying she would come back next week. ”
Jingjing's mother smiled and shook her head, the child has his own things to do when he is older, and he can't see each other a few times a month. Her husband Lin Youde is the village party secretary and also the village director, and she is also nowhere to be seen all day long, and she is often busy alone in this family.
"Who's coming back next week?"
As he was talking, Lin Youde came back from outside, and just happened to hear the second half of what his daughter-in-law said.
"Who else do you say? It's your precious girl. Youde, Tiance is looking for you, you go into the house and talk. ”
Jingjing's mother stood up and glared at Lin Youde, smiled at Feng Tiance again, and went to the well to wash the vegetables with the picked vegetables.
"Uncle De. ”
Feng Tiance also quickly stood up and greeted with a smile.
"Tiance is coming..... Let's go, sit in the house. ”
Lin You dragged Feng Tiance into the house, and as soon as he sat down, he kept staring at Feng Tiance without speaking, and Feng Tiance's heart was furious.
"I said Uncle Youde, what are you doing? There are no flowers growing on my face. I came to you to ask about contracting the forest land in the village, and I plan to build a forest farm. ”
Feng Tiance didn't know what was going on with Lin Youde, so he hurriedly said what he meant.
"What the hell am I? I just want to see if you kid has been stunned by this large sum of money falling from the sky........ Luckily, it looks like you're not lost. ”
When Lin Xiaojing left, he met Lin Youde at the entrance of the village, and quietly told his father about the afternoon, and also made the idea to ask his father to find an opportunity to remind Feng Tiance.
Windfalls are exciting, and it's good to get a windfall, but only if you can harness it!
Lin Youde knocked Feng Tiance and didn't continue, which means that he is very close to Tiance, otherwise he shouldn't even say this sentence.
"Hehe, Uncle De, how can it?"
Feng Tiance scratched his head with a smile, and the two ended the topic very tacitly.
"Tiance, there is no problem if you want to contract forest land, there are still many mountains and forests in the village. It's just that I might as well give you a thorough explanation, there are almost no valuable trees on Daqing Mountain now. Over the years, there are not many valuable trees left, and now most of the trees on the mountain are replanted later. ”
Lin Youde took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one himself, and took a puff before he said slowly.
"Uncle De, I also know a little about the situation on the mountain, and I am planning to gradually replace these miscellaneous trees with trees with high economic value. In addition, I can also slowly study understory planting and understory breeding, which should be successful. ”
Feng Tiance already has a preliminary idea of the forest farm, and the rest is how to operate it.
"Tiance, in fact, it is relatively easy to make money by contracting mountains and forests. But there are several problems in this, one is that the transportation in our village is not convenient, and it will be very troublesome to transport goods in the future. In addition, the cycle of forestry is long, and it may take ten or eight years to see the benefits. You learned this, and you should know it in your heart. ”
Lin Youde saw that Feng Tiance listened very carefully, and nodded secretly, he didn't like the kind of guy who had read books for a few years and his eyes grew to the top of his head.
"In the village, there are about 10,000 acres of forest land in addition to the self-reserved mountain, how much are you going to contract? I suggest that you start to contract less, and then talk about it when you have experience. ”
Feng Tiance also felt that the stall should not be too big at first, and after careful consideration, he decided to contract 1,000 acres of forest land first.
"Okay, the annual contract fee for 1,000 acres of forest land is 100,000 yuan, and whoever contracts in the village is at this price. Early tomorrow morning, I will tell a few village committees that you should come to the village committee in the afternoon to sign the contract, and the maximum term of the contract can only be signed for 70 years. ”
The forest land contracting fee in Xiegu Village is not high, and Feng Tiance knew that Lin Youde would not cheat him, so he agreed without thinking about it.
"You two come over and have dinner. ”
After finishing the business, Feng Tiance and Lin Youde had just played two games of chess, and they heard Jingjing's mother shouting to start eating. It just so happened that the situation of Lin Youde's eyes in this game of chess was not good, so he took this opportunity to quickly stand up and save another game.
"Come, Tiance, have a few drinks with me. ”
The wine is a good wine, or the bottle of Wuliangye that Feng Tiance brought over yesterday and didn't finish drinking. Lin Youde is used to drinking a few glasses at dinner every day, and Feng Tiance can afford to accompany him.
"Uncle Youde, why don't we build a bridge in our village? With a bridge, it's convenient for big guys to travel." ”
After a few cups, Feng Tiance's words also increased, and he actually had a headache about the traffic situation in the village.
"Do you think I don't want to repair it? It will cost two or three million to build such a bridge, and the town only promised to give half of the subsidy, and the rest has not been able to be made up in the village for several years. ”
Lin Youde put down his wine glass heavily, his tone full of helplessness. He doesn't know how many times he has discussed with everyone about raising funds to repair the bridge, but he has stayed where he is and has not made progress.
"It's not easy for everyone! Uncle De, in this way, next time the village talks about fundraising, you can help me pledge 100,000 yuan." ”
The amount of 100,000 yuan can be regarded as Feng Tiance's feedback to Xiegu Village.
Lin Youde smiled with relief, poured himself a full glass of wine, and drank it with his neck tilted. The heart said that he really didn't see the wrong person.
