Chapter 67: It's Hard to Begin with Everything

Li Ming thought that he had not suffered a loss.

But what Li Ming didn't know was that Li Ming spent 250,000 yuan on 500 acres of land, so much money, but Lai Yong didn't give a penny to the village committee, but put it all in his pocket.

Some say, how is this possible?

True, not only possible, but also easy.

As long as you are the village chief, you can do it.

After Lai Yong saw Li Ming leave through the window, he turned back to his desk and took out the two contracts from the drawer.

First, he forged a contract for the land that Li Ming was now renting a year ago, and then forged a contract for him to sublease the land to Li Ming.

And the real contract signed by Li Ming with him was thrown into the safe by Lai Yong with a smile.

Although the accounts of the village committee are nominally public, who can know that Lai Yong, as the village head, uses fake accounts to make real accounts.

……

After Li Ming left the compound of the village committee, he thought that he needed to hire some labor.

Li Ming never thought that he would personally participate in farming.

Different from the urban people's yearning for the countryside, Li Ming, who has worked in the mountains and old forests for five years, is very annoyed by the countryside.

Summer is coming, not to mention the hot weather when farming, the most frightening thing is the flower snakes and toads in the rice fields, which you can't get rid of.

The huge toad is the size of half a brick, and the whole body is leprosy, jumping more than half a meter high, once touched, a large number of red spots appear on the skin, and the pain is unbearable.

And the snakes near the mountainous area, often take the grave of the dead as a nest, often such snakes are nearly two meters long big snake, not afraid of people at all, although non-venomous, but he is entrenched in the rice fields, do you dare to go?

There are countless other insects, Li Ming farms completely to make money, if it weren't for this reason, Li Ming would rather not come to the countryside for the rest of his life.

Walking into the village, Li Ming asked a group of old farmers sitting under a big tree playing poker who had a surplus of labor.

I thought it would be very difficult to recruit a trade union, but I didn't expect Li Ming to recruit farmers easily.

After inquiring about the reason, it turned out that it was because Li Ming had planted the land too late, and it was already early June, when most of the farmers in the village had finished their work on their farmland and entered the slack period.

The old people couldn't go out to work when they were old, and when they heard that Li Ming was recruiting, they all ran to Li Ming to do part-time work.

Knowing that Li Ming was going to plant 500 acres of rice fields, an old man in his 60s with a simple face said to Li Ming: "Boss Li, unless we use a twelve-row rice transplanter made in Germany, the labor force in our village will not be able to plant these 500 acres of land within a month." ”

Late rice in Shonan must be planted by the end of June at the latest, otherwise it will not be able to grow during the autumn harvest.

Hearing this, Li Ming asked, "Which of you can operate this kind of machinery. ”

There were a lot fewer people who responded to the recruitment, and looking at the youngest and fifty-year-old men in front of him, Li Ming reluctantly chose ten of them who looked relatively strong, and the old man with a simple face was also among them.

Seeing that this old man also had a very high status in this group of people, Li Ming asked with a smile: "Old man, what do you call it." ”

Chang Zhenhai, who had already applied for the draft, smiled and said his name.

Li Ming asked: "Uncle Chang, how much is this twelve-row rice transplanter made in Germany?" ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Chang Zhenhai saw that Li Ming didn't know anything about farming, and continued: "Not only do you need a rice transplanter, but you also need a seeding machine, and one also needs more than 100,000 yuan. ”

If rice seeds are planted directly in the ground, it is easy to have no seedlings, and in order to solve this problem, farmers will first raise seedlings in the land.

Farmers with little land buy a hand-held seeder, sow seeds in a ridge, and cover it with plastic film to increase the success rate.

The land area planted by Li Ming is too large, and the speed of the hand-held seeder is too slow, so it is necessary to purchase large-scale seeding equipment.

Through discussions with Chang Zhenhai, Li Ming knew how much manpower and material resources it would take to plant a season of rice normally.

Because the land purchased by Li Ming has been abandoned for a long time, if you want to plant, you still need a ploughing machine, and similarly, you also need to buy large-scale equipment, otherwise there will be no time.

Lin Lin finally calculated that if he wanted to complete all the work by the end of June, Li Ming needed to invest at least one million to buy equipment.

Seeing that there was less than 100,000 yuan left in his pocket, Li Ming had no choice but to take out the wild ginseng in his hand that had been cultivated for more than three hundred years.

asked Chang Zhenhai and others to wait for him in the village for a day, and took a plane to Shanghai that afternoon, and sold wild ginseng to a boss in Shanghai for 2 million.

I don't dare to go to Yisheng Company again, if I go again, there will definitely be problems.

Then Li Ming flew back to Xiangnan overnight.

Early the next morning, Li Ming took Chang Zhenhai and others to the largest agricultural machinery market in the provincial capital and bought back three twelve-row ploughing machines, three twelve-row seeders, three twelve-row rice transplanters and two threshers.

Although when he bought the equipment, the other party had already told Li Ming that five hundred acres of land could be completed in five days with only three such equipment.

But looking at the five hundred acres of wasteland in front of him, which was already overgrown with weeds, Li Ming was still a little pessimistic and said to Chang Zhenhai and the others: "Uncles, the next work depends on you." ”

Different from Li Ming's ignorance, Chang Zhenhai and others, who have planted all their lives, are very aware of the efficiency of agricultural machinery.

patting Li Ming's shoulder, Chang Zhenhai said with a smile: "Boss Li, you just look at it, I promise to clean up the five hundred acres of land within half a month." ”

As he spoke, Chang Zhenhai had already climbed onto the ploughing machine with the other two, and after the three of them divided their positions, they started at the same time.

According to the design of Li Ming, Chang Zhenhai and others, after ploughing, the seeder was used to sow the seeds immediately.

Calling out the rest of the old men, Li Ming left five thousand yuan for everyone, and said: "This is the money to refuel the equipment, I will go to the provincial capital to buy seeds, and I will entrust this land to everyone in the past two days." ”

This group of people all live in their own village, and Li Ming is not worried that they will run away with the money.

Hearing that Li Ming hadn't bought the seeds yet, a group of people hurriedly urged: "Go quickly, don't worry about here, after five days, I promise to plow the land for you." ”

After letting everyone work alternately, Li Ming drove to the outskirts of the city with the person in charge of delivering the equipment.

A warehouse with a yard was rented, and Li Ming put two threshers in the warehouse.

When these two threshers were bought, Chang Zhenhai and others also advised Li Ming not to worry, and it was okay to buy them after a few months.

How did they know that the seeds they were going to plant were made by these two threshers?
