Chapter Forty-Nine: The Matter in the Township

"Mom, I bought a string of prayer beads and a jade Guanyin to bring for you to ward off evil spirits." Ji Yang's mother, Du Huimin, is from another village in Baihe Township, and it seems that he went to elementary school with his father when he was a child.

"What kind of evil is it, you stinky mouth, you can't say something nice." Du Huimin took the rosary and the jade Guanyin with a smile, and it was the first time she received Ji Yang's gift. Holding the rosary and looking at the jade Guanyin for a while, she did not put it on immediately, but put it in the room.

Ji Yang thought she was embarrassed, just smiled and didn't say much, and then sat down to eat watermelon. The watermelons in my hometown are very sweet, but they are not very easy to sell because there are too many black seeds.

Nowadays, people are too lazy to spit out seeds when they eat a watermelon, and would rather buy a seedless watermelon that is not sweet, rather than buy a seedless but sweet watermelon. Ji Yang can't do anything about this problem, so he can only go with the flow, and their family doesn't grow watermelons.

"Yoko, come and sit here." Ji Xia wore a loose white T-shirt and sweatpants, sat barefoot on the sofa, and beckoned to Ji Yang.

"What's the matter?" Ji Yang sat over suspiciously, she took a bath as soon as she got home, and there was a smell of babies on her body.

Ji Xia grabbed his neck with one hand and said in a low voice: "How do you explain to your parents about the opening of the factory, or hide it from them for the time being." I think it's better to hide it, or Dad will intervene and I'm afraid I'll make some accidents. ”

She had a very bad impression of her father, and if it weren't for Ji Yang's business, she wouldn't want to go home. I can't blame her, anyone who is forced by her father to work to make money, and has to pay ninety percent, will feel sad.

"Then hide it, tomorrow we will find an excuse to go into the mountain and not let others know. However, if you want to open a factory in Baihe Town, you must ventilate with the town government, otherwise it will be difficult for this factory to open. Ji Yang said.

"This can only depend on you, you are so powerful, you should be able to handle it." Ji Xia looked at him and teased.

"It shouldn't be difficult, it's a good thing for the town government to open a factory, it's their performance. Baihe Town is too far away from the provincial capital, and no one has come to develop it, and it is all about pigs and chickens. I'm the first to open a factory here, as long as I tell them, I can't strongly support my business. "Ji Yang is more familiar with the situation in Baihe Town, and he is also bolder in doing things.

"I really didn't expect you to start a business at such a young age, and it seems that I will have to eat with you in the future. If the factory opens, what position are you going to give me, I won't do it. Ji Xia asked.

"You can take any position you want, anyway, I'm a major shareholder, and I'm only responsible for investing and collecting money. Either you become the director of the factory, and then you will also serve as the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Sales, and the Minister of Personnel. Ji Yang spit out a bunch of job titles that looked like cow beeps.

"I'll just do everything by myself, and you'll save money on hiring employees." Ji Xia bared his teeth and pretended to be angry.

"Okay, that's what I mean." Ji Yang grinned.

Ji Xia was angry and laughed, and slapped him with his elbow, and the two played around for a while. Seeing that her sister was in such a good mood, Ji Yang was also happy for her, and she almost got rid of the shadow of being bound.

Since her sister dropped out of school, Ji Yang has always felt guilty in her heart, always feeling that she ruined her future. My sister studies so well and beautifully, if she continues to study in college, she will definitely live a happy life in the future. Fortunately, Ji Yang changed her fate again and put her back on track.

"Yoko, the weather is so good, let's go to the court in the town to play badminton." Ji Xia suddenly became interested, she hadn't exercised for a long time, and she missed the feeling of sweating profusely.

"Okay, I'd like to have some fun too." How could Ji Yang refuse.

Then the two put on their rackets, greeted their mother and went out, walking slowly on the road. The winding road is flanked by mountains on the right and a large river on the left, and people often swim down in small boats.

Although it is a remote village, there are occasional cars and trucks passing by, and it is a well-off family. Seeing people driving home, Ji Yang was a little envious, and planned to take the driver's license test when he became an adult.

"I want to go boating, I haven't rowed in a long time." Ji Xia looked at the wooden boat on the river in the distance and said expectantly.

"It used to be fun to row, but now the river is so dirty that it's miserable to fall in." Ji Yang was not interested at all, because the river was already polluted, and the dam was often filled with a large pool of dead pigs and garbage.

The dead pigs were thrown down from the upstream by the farm, and after floating to the dam, they were blocked, and they gradually stinked. The garbage is slowly accumulated by the villagers every day, and no one cleans it up.

According to the older generation, a few decades ago the river was so clear that there was a stream of fish every March. It is a large school of fish swimming to other places to spawn, and at this time, the villagers will set up fishing nets to intercept them, and tens of thousands of fish can be caught at a time.

Nowadays, the scale of the fish tide is getting smaller and smaller, only about one percent of what it used to be, and the fishermen have nothing to eat. Rao is so, and there are still one or two fishermen in the village who persist and make a living from fishing. However, according to this situation, it is estimated that in another ten years, not a single fish will be seen.

"Now the villagers are getting richer, and every family is building buildings, but the environment is getting worse and worse. Why not build a garbage dump, no matter how bad it is, there should be a garbage truck to clean it regularly. Ji Xia complained.

"There are more than a dozen villages near Baihe Town, and it is estimated that it will cost tens of millions to build so many garbage dumps. Even if the state allocates funds, from the provincial government to the municipal government, to the town government, and the township committee, hehe. Ji Yang smiled lightly.

Let's not mention it for the time being, the township chief "Feng Nianrui" is very familiar with Ji Yang. It's not that he gossips, but he often listens to his parents talk about the bad things Feng Nianrui did, and he can't even think about it.

For the sake of money, Feng Nianrui dared to set fire to the pine forest in the township, and then call the police when it burned to a certain extent. Conifers are very resistant to burning, and as long as the time is well controlled, they will only burn off the delicate branches and leaves and epidermis, while the main trunk is intact. In the end, in the name of cleaning up, Feng Nianrui sawed off the conifers that had burned off the skin and branches, and shipped them out for sale.

Conifer pine is very valuable, and a thigh-thick plant can be sold for thousands of dollars, which is a resource for government uniforms. Ji Yang's family makes a house, and if they want to saw a pine tree to make a door, they have to go to the town government to apply first.

Feng Nianrui used arson, which can omit the application step and sell directly to private bosses. The fire burned at least 100,000 conifer pine trees, with a total value of hundreds of millions of yuan. Imagine how many people are involved in such a huge amount of wealth, and Feng Nianrui dares to do such a thing that endangers the interests of the villagers for the sake of money.

Those conifers belong to the property of the whole township, and when you want to use them, you can apply for a certain amount at 20% of the price. Feng Nianrui's fire burned the property of many villagers, and his explanation: someone was smoking in the mountains, and the cigarette butt was not extinguished, igniting the entire forest.

There is less than a 1 in 10,000 chance that a cigarette butt will ignite an entire forest, and that reason can only be used to coax children. Any villager with a little brain, who doesn't know that it was Feng Nianrui's ghost.

Two days after the fire was extinguished, more than 30 trucks brazenly came to harvest timber, and everyone was blind! In order to appease the anger of the public, Feng Nianrui came up with another idea and asked the villagers to go to the mountains to cut down the burned conifers.

As soon as the villagers heard that they could cut it for free, they immediately became energetic, but they could only carry it manually. There are less than 70 households in the entire township, and manual transportation is comparable to truck transportation. In the end, Feng Nianrui took the lion's head, and the villagers carried more than a dozen pieces of wood home for free, thinking that they had taken a big advantage.

At that time, Ji Yang went home on the weekend and followed his parents to carry two coniferous pines back, and he was tired and wanted to die. Because it takes more than 30 miles to walk from the village to the taiga, and there are at most two trips a day.

This incident caused a sensation in the townships, but finally subsided under the suppression of the town government. However, when everyone gossips in private, they often say it, so Ji Yang is also very clear.

"Forget it, we can't control it anyway, let's play badminton." After Ji Xia sighed, he put aside those unpleasant things.

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and they are the boss here, but I'm not afraid of them now." Ji Yang sneered in his heart, he had a hunch that opening a factory here would definitely encounter difficulties from those people.

However, Ji Yang has already been mentally prepared, when the time comes, the money will be boxed together, and those who know each other will take the money to open the way, and those who don't know each other can only come hard. Doesn't it mean that the emperor of the mountain is far away, as long as Ji Yang has the ability, he can also be a rich man.

After putting aside these trivialities for a while, Ji Yang and his sister came to the stadium in the town, and there were only a few people in the stadium. The equipment of this public court is relatively slaggy, the ground is not very flat, and there are not many people who come to play.

Seven or eight junior high school students were playing basketball, and Ji Yang and the two walked to another open space, and there was no net, so they just played directly. Because Ji Xia is more fashionable and beautiful, she is a very attractive royal sister in the eyes of junior high school students.

"Sister, those boys peeked at you." Ji Yang said with a smile.

"A bunch of little furry kids, ignore them." Ji Xia was not interested in that kind of yellow-haired child at all, and he didn't bother to take a look: "I haven't played badminton for a long time, and I don't know how my skills are." ”

Ji Xia served first, although there was no net, but she seemed to have a net in her eyes, and the serve was quite regular. Ji Yang easily beat back, his five senses are keen, his dynamic and static vision are very strong, plus his physique is strong, how can he not beat Ji Xia a girl.

After five or six back and forth, Ji Xia couldn't catch it, she picked up the ball and pretended to be angry: "It's just a play, can you hit so hard." ”

Ji Yang didn't use much force, but his strength was great: "Okay, I'll be lighter." ”

After that, he didn't have to kill the ball at all, and gently threw it up every time, and Ji Xia had a good time. She didn't come to compare skills with Ji Yang, but to relax with him, this kind of beating made her feel relaxed and happy.

But Ji Yang was miserable, because the ball he fed was too easy to play, Ji Xia often jumped up to kill the ball. Ji Yang had to activate his nerves, run around and fight back, and then meet the next kill.

Hush!

At this moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy wearing a jersey and dragging whistled to Ji Xia: "Beauty, can you add me one." ”

Several other boys also threw basketballs, followed him and gradually walked over, saying all kinds of teasing words to Ji Xia. At first, they just peeked from a distance, and the more they looked, the more they thought Ji Xia was beautiful and in good shape, especially when she played, the two rabbits could move.

After a few more glances, one of them couldn't help but salivate and instigated the others to come together to get some cheapness. They saw that Ji Yang's body was thin, and there were many people, so several people gathered around.

Ji Xia was in a good mood, but when she was disturbed by them, her face suddenly turned black. But she didn't want to get into trouble, so she pretended not to hear it and continued to play badminton with Ji Yang. Unexpectedly, the other party got closer and closer, and finally walked to Ji Xia's side less than three steps, making her unable to continue playing.
