After the New Year, Lin He recruited people to discuss big and small matters at home.

Huang Chunhua listened to it for a while, and suddenly said: "It's not a way to lock up the cattle in the back garden, not to mention that the garden is ruined, and it's not convenient to feed the cattle, and you have to always beware of thieves stealing, you have to think of a way." ”

Lin He furrowed his brows and said, "We don't have a big enclosure in our village. ”

Lin Hai said: "If you really can't separate, I can put seven or eight heads in my family's circle, Lin Duo's family can put more than a dozen heads, the third grandmother and Uncle Ren and Uncle Yi's family have circles, and it is not a big problem for a family to put seven or eight cows." ”

Huang Chunhua said: "It's not a way to let people go. ”

Lin He frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It's really not good, just enclose a piece of land in the north of the village and build a big village, I will definitely buy a large number of cattle this year, I am ready to collect a few hundred heads at a time, and build a cattle pen once and for all." ”

Huang Chunhua disagreed: "How much does it cost?" ”

Lin Hedao: "How can you earn money if you don't spend money?"

"It's all crooked!"

Huang Chunhua glared at him angrily, and Lin Hai and the others felt that it made sense after thinking about it.

Anyway, the matter of building a bullpen is decided.

Although Huang Chunhua felt sorry for the money, she understood that it would not work if she didn't build a cattle pen, otherwise where would she put hundreds of cows?

If you decide to do it, Lin He doesn't like to drag mud and water.

I went to the village and asked about the situation of the land, and I built a cow pen casually, and symbolically gave the village some money.

The land in Zhangqiao is not valuable, the land management is also very non-standardized, and the peasants' houses can be built wherever they want, and they have never heard of land certificates, real estate certificates, etc., until ten years later, all kinds of procedures are slowly improved.

Lin He moved his mind, anyway, he has to build a bullpen, it is better to take advantage of the fact that no one cares about the location of many circles now, although the land is not valuable, but after ten years, there will be no circle, as long as the land is enclosed in the wall, it will be his own, how can there be such a good thing in ten years.

The current village chief is Yang Siye, because of the cattle theft, the old Yang family lost the adult, fortunately Lin He did not pursue it, and Yang Siye did not embarrass Lin He, let him look at the money and pay the difference, and the cattle pen can be built as much as he wants.

Of course, there must be a limit, and it can only be built on the wasteland left by the village.

Hexi Province is a poor province, Beishan County is also a poor county, and the rural areas of Beishan are even poorer.

The village chief of Xigou is a leather ball, no one is playing around, there is no oil and water, and it is thankless.

As exaggerated as it sounds, that's exactly what it is.

Lin He was not polite, gave 3,000 yuan to the village, took people to circle a large piece of land, and then signed a land use agreement decently, and poked it up with the village seal, and the land was his.

I asked the master of the village wall building, and the cost of an ordinary brick wall, one brick and two cents, and the cost of one square meter of bricks, sand and cement is about ten, plus labor and other costs, it is estimated to be twelve.

Time was a little tight, and after the land was fenced, Lin He quickly organized people to prepare the land.

The whole village is mobilized, no one under the age of fifteen, no old one who can't walk, as long as they can work, all of them are ten yuan a day, Lin He shouted a few times with the big horn in the village, and recruited hundreds of people.

The terrain around the village is flat, and it is not a hassle to level the land.

Hundreds of people worked in a rage for five days, and the ground was finished.

Yang Xuehu, the chief worker in charge of technical supervision, organized profits, and Lin He also handed over the work of building the wall to him, and asked him to find a few masons who could build the wall, and the sand, cement and bricks were enough, and gave him half a month to build the wall.

I looked for a brick factory to pull bricks, and I ran into an acquaintance.

"He Jun, why are you here?"

Lin He was quite surprised, he actually met He Jun here, I remember that this guy should have gone to be a soldier after the third year of junior high school, I don't remember when he left, I didn't expect the guy to be in the brickyard.

He Jun said: "I work in a brickyard. ”

Lin He asked, "Didn't you go to be a soldier?"

He Jun sighed and said: "Something happened last year and I didn't make it, and I'm going to leave again this year, what are you doing here?"

Lin He said: "We want to build a cattle pen in the village, and I will pull some bricks." ”

He Jun asked, "How much?"

Lin Daodao: "Three hundred and thirty thousand!"

He Jun was taken aback: "It takes so many bricks to build a bullpen?"

Lin Daodao: "To build a large cattle farm, use a lot of bricks. ”

He Jun was skeptical, and he didn't ask any more, saying: "Now there are more and more brickyards, bricks are not easy to sell, if you want more, you can be cheaper, if you have a letter of introduction from the village, you can also pay on credit, my second uncle is the factory director, I will ask you." ”

Lin He was suddenly happy and said, "Then you can help me ask, it's best to be able to get credit." ”

He Jun took him to the factory director's office, opened his mouth and told his second uncle that this was his classmate, and directly shook out the reserve price of the brick factory and all kinds of preferential policies that could be obtained, and his second uncle's face turned black when he was angry.

Lin He discovered for the first time that He Jun still had such a cute side.

The old bottom was shaken off, and the factory director had no temper, so he could only give Lin He a full set of discounts.

It's a brick a dime, and you can get credit with Murakami's letter of introduction, and you can pay it off before the end of the year.

This is a bonus, and you don't have to take up funds if you can take credit.

It is not difficult to open a letter of introduction, Lin He went back to the village and asked Yang Siye to write a letter of introduction, Yang Siye was not ambiguous, knowing that the Lin family boy was engaged in troop trading, making money every month, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to pay back tens of thousands of bricks.

The sand cement bricks were pulled back, and Yang Xuehu immediately organized people to do manual work.

Lin He told him: "After this work is done, I will give you four hundred, half a month must be completed, each day shortened will give you more than thirty, the construction period is delayed by one day, I will deduct you thirty, the shorter the completion time, the more you earn, you count how many people." ”

Yang Xuehu said: "If it is completed in half a month, there will be ten large workers, twenty small workers, and if it is completed in ten days, there will be at least fifteen large workers and thirty small workers. ”

Lin He calculated, mud horses, 25 big workers a day, 15 big workers get more than 300 a day, small workers use the village, just give 10 yuan a day, 30 small workers get more than 300 a day, and 10 days of labor will get more than 7,000.

"Hurry up, you can find it yourself. ”

Lin He waved his hand, and he also gained a bit of momentum.

In order to save time, Lin He made reasonable arrangements and pulled a part of everything, so that Yang Xuehu could organize the construction first, and then pull the rest later, as long as it could keep up with the progress of the construction period.

Construction began in early March and was completed in mid-March.

In just half a month, the wall of the cattle pen was built.

In addition to the ten large cattle pens, Lin He also built three houses for people, and the rest was capped, painted the walls, and installed doors and windows to wait for the finishing work of the cattle pen to be completed without him having to watch it himself, and it was time to leave for the north.

It takes at least half a month to go back and forth, and there is plenty of time, and the end is not a problem.

Before leaving, Lin He said to his mother: "Mom, I'm going to the north, you lead people to make the meat of the troops, don't work too hard." ”

Huang Chunhua said: "There are people who work, what hard work do I have, you go, be careful on the road." ”

Lin He took the people away, the cattle pen is a bit big, the land of the circle is estimated to be 200 acres, the wall plus the cattle pen and three houses cost him 60,000 yuan, plus the money to the village and the finishing works, it is almost 80,000 yuan, he has to earn it back quickly.

Fortunately, the materials are cheap and the wages are low, and after ten years, 80,000 yuan is not enough to buy bricks.

After staying at Outpost No. 6 for one night, Lin He took Lin Hai and the three of them on horseback and galloped all the way across the border.

On New Year's Day, he sent two tons of corn to Lian Li, and the four horses ate fat and strong, and the one who ran was called a vigor, much faster than the first walk, and arrived at the pasture of Batu at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Friends from afar, you're finally here!"

Batu was overjoyed to see Lin Hai, and he was really eager to see through it.

Last time he collected cattle for Lin He, he made a windfall, but he tasted the sweetness.

Since Lin He left, Batu has been thinking about when Lin He will come to collect cattle again.

Lin He threw away the reins, hugged him with a smile, and asked, "Can you receive the cow?"

Batu patted his chest and laughed: "Of course, it's okay to have as much as you want." ”

Lin He said: "Okay, I will collect as much as you can find this time, there is only one condition, the bigger the cow, the better, don't kill the lack of meat, if there is a cow that can kill more than 400 catties of meat, I will add 10,000 to you." ”

Batu's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and said, "It's no problem, but I'm too far away from here, and it's not convenient to drive the cattle here. ”

Lin He thought about it, and he was as good as a stream.

This place is indeed inconvenient, and he has long been tired of it.

After spending the night in the yurt, the next morning they mounted their horses and went to Ezil.

It is forty kilometers from the pastures of Batu to the town of Ezil, and the sun is set in the west.

It is said that it is a small town, in fact, it is not as good as Xigou Village, in addition to the yurt, the better houses are also adobe bricks, as for the brick houses, none of them can be seen, but compared to the pasture, there are more people here, and it is a little more lively.

Batu found a yurt for Lin He, settled the four of them and went out non-stop.

Lin He couldn't stay idle, so he took Lin Hai and the three of them out for a walk, and soon discovered a strange phenomenon.
