That's it for Chapter 4!
When he arrived at the land, Lu Yang first went to the town government and asked about the contracted land for planting.
The person in charge of receiving Lu Yang was a middle-aged man about forty years old, his hair was a little thin, but his attitude was relatively kind.
"Where are you from? How large is it to be planted? The middle-aged man asked.
Lu Yang was a little nervous: "I am from Huanghuai, and I have been to Qishui Town before, and I feel that it is very good here." As for the scale of planting, it will definitely not be large in the initial stage, and it will be expanded in the later stage. What is extended to what is dΓΉ, depending on the specific situation. β
Lu Yang's answer was a little pale, but the middle-aged man did not dig deeper, there are not many powerful people who have carried out personal planting business in these years. Moreover, the kind of people who want to plant on a large scale will definitely not come to Qishui Town. The mountainous town of Qishui does not have such conditions.
The two exchanged words with each other for a while.
According to the middle-aged man, there is still a lot of idle land in Qishui Town, because many families have gone out to work, and the land is not cultivated. The terrain was not suitable for commercial development, so it was deserted.
This news made Lu Yang a little excited, and he hurriedly asked: "Then if I want to contract, what is the price?" β
The middle-aged humanitarian: "The town government encourages agricultural planting, so we also have preferential policies for prices. I'll take a look at ......"
He turned around and took out a text folder from the shelf, which contained a lot of information.
"There are currently nine administrative villages in Qishui Town, and basically, the contract price of mountainous land is 300-500 yuan per mu per year." The middle-aged man said against the price list.
300οΌ500οΌ This price is not low. In their hometown, the contract price in the plains is only four or five hundred, but here it is all mountainous.
Thinking of the very limited funds in his hand, Lu Yang asked, "Didn't you say that there are preferential policies just now?" β
The middle-aged man glanced at him: "Yes." However, these policies are aimed at those who are ready to do long-term planting. β
Lu Yang immediately said: "I just plan to do it for a long time, as long as I get permission, I want to settle here!" β
These are the truths, Lu Yang, who has lived in ordinary life for twenty years, accidentally has a level 3 grafting technique, and he has to use it no matter what. Since you are in this business, settling in the south is a good choice.
"In addition, after my planting career develops, I am willing to carry out voluntary afforestation in the soil erosion area of Qishui Town. Within a year, I will plant more than 100 acres of forests! Lu Yang added.
The middle-aged man raised his head in surprise and stared at the young man in front of him, trying to tell if he was lying. Finally, under Lu Yang's firm gaze, the middle-aged man nodded slightly.
"If that's what you're going to do, it's in line with the preferential policy. However, these words are not for fun, once you breach the contract in the future, you will have to bear legal responsibility! The middle-aged man still explained.
Lu Yang nodded silently.
The middle-aged man stood up, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out another copy.
"According to the incentive policy of the town government, in order to enjoy the preferential conditions, the contract must be more than 30 years. And, as you just said, we encourage the willingness to plant trees on a voluntary basis, and we can give more incentives. β
He flipped to the last page.
"Planting 100 acres of trees is not a trivial matter."
The middle-aged man pointed to the last form and said to Lu Yang. Lu Yang looked at the table and saw that there were some numbers listed on it.
"In order to solve this problem, we have carried out many afforestations, but the effect is not very good. Individuals and companies are willing to carry out voluntary afforestation, and the town government is encouraged. You see here, if more than 10 acres of afforestation are planted every year, and the survival rate is 60%, the town government can give corresponding preferential policies. As you just said, we are willing to plant 100 acres of trees in a year, which is beyond our previous considerations. β
After a pause, the middle-aged man asked sternly, "I want to ask, are you serious?" Are you willing to pay for what you say? β
"Of course!" Lu Yang said in his heart, even if I don't think about this, I have to complete the Heavenly Dao task, otherwise, maybe a meteorite will fall down and kill me!
The middle-aged man confirmed it twice, and finally said, "If this is really the case, the Qishui town government can cooperate with you and let you contract the land in the name of soil erosion control." In this way, not only will there be no contract fee, but I can also make the decision and sign a 50-year contract with you! β
Lu Yang was overjoyed when he heard it: "Yes, that's great......"
"You're in charge...... Who are you? Lu Yang suddenly relieved himself, he hadn't asked the other party's position yet.
The middle-aged man was unimpressed: "My name is Zhou Donglai, and I am currently the mayor of Qishui Town." β
"Mayor Mare?" Lu Yang was a little stupid, when he first came in, he thought that the other party was just a clerk.
"Mayor Zhou, you are really ...... Just for your hard-working and people-friendly attitude, I will be in Qishui Town in the future! Lu Yang was indeed a little excited in his heart, he had seen the mayor and the township mayor before, and it was in his hometown. In terms of grade, this official is not big, but in terms of style, it is not necessarily small.
However, Mayor Zhou's behavior today has greatly changed Lu Yang's impression of the government department.
Zhou Donglai said with a smile: "Young man, I want to make it clear in advance that if you choose this kind of contracting, you have to sign a contract with the town government." If you breach the contract in the future, you will also have to bear the consequences. β
Lu Yang patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Mayor Zhou, since I said it, I won't regret it!" β
Zhou Dong said: "Okay, let's initialize an agreement today. After speaking, he took out a piece of paper and simply wrote an agreement, Lu Yang looked at it, and there were no other problems, so he signed it.
"Your name is Lu Yang, I wrote it down." Mayor Zhou put away the agreement, and then introduced to him in detail the land that could be contracted. Lu Yang listened carefully, looked at the map of Qishui Town in front of him, and looked for a suitable place.
"Big Rock Village, it's good here." According to Zhou Donglai's introduction, Lu Yang found a village named Dayan Village on the map. This village is more than 30 miles away from the center of Qishui Town, and next to the village, there is a river, and the river is relatively fast.
Zhou Donglai is very familiar with the affairs of Dayan Village.
"This village is the poorest village in our Qishui Town, and most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and the rest are some old people and children. In previous years, the vegetation in the upper reaches of the Yanhe River was cut down, and soil erosion was very strict. Until now, many rocks have been exposed, and it is very difficult to replant trees. β
Lu Yang nodded as he listened.
"Mayor Zhou, is there no land that can be planted by the river?"
"Very little. The current of the rock river is too fast, the riverbed is also very narrow, there are too many boulders on both banks, and there is very little soil. Zhou Donglai also had some regret in his words, in fact, since he took office, he has worried a lot about the affairs of Dayan Village.
"There are a lot of stones, and this is not easy." Although Lu Yang is not proficient in planting, he also knows some common sense, what plants need to grow is soil, and only soil can provide them with the elements for growth.
"It would be nice if we could turn these stones into soil." A thought popped into his mind, and he was out of control.
"Qiuqiu, is there a technology that can transform these rocks into soil?" Lu Yang used consciousness to communicate with Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu's answer is very neat: "Soil modification technology can transform certain geographical environments into fertile land. β
Lu Yang's face was overjoyed.
"If you transform ordinary rocks into soil, what level of soil transformation technology is needed?"
Qiuqiu replied: "Level 1 soil modification technology, which can transform barren land; Level 2 is capable of transforming ordinary rocks; Level 3 can transform saline-alkali land; Level 4 can transform desertified land; Level 5 can transform more extreme environments such as glaciers and permafrost. β
"As long as the level 2 ......," Lu Yang immediately began to inquire about the price of the level 2 soil modification technology.
800 points.
This is relatively expensive in a level 2 technology.
"I have 1,000 points now, 800 points, and I can afford it. However, when the time comes, it will be stressful. Lu Yang weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and hesitated.
"Lu Yang, Lu Yang......" Zhou Donglai was still introducing the situation of other villages, and turned his head to find that Lu Yang had already wandered into the world, and his face was a little embarrassed.
Lu Yang let out a "uh" and came back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, Mayor Zhou, I was thinking about the matter of Dayan Village just now......" Lu Yang hurriedly explained, he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to offend Mayor Zhou. If the other party is unhappy, all his plans will be in vain.
Zhou Donglai waved his hand: "It's okay." I've been thinking about the matter of Big Rock Village for a long time. But to be honest, it's not easy. If you're really planning to do farming, you can consider other places. Some of the villages are in good condition......"
"No need, Mayor Zhou, I've decided, it's Dayan Village!" Lu Yang suddenly blurted out.
Zhou Donglai was halfway through his words, and choked, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
Lu Yang said in a deep voice: "Mayor Zhou, I am serious, I have decided to plant in Dayan Village!" β
