Chapter Twenty-Four: Replacing Fertile Land for Barren Mountains (Part II)

Zhao Jiatun's big slap, it won't take long for something to spread. Laiwang's exchange of fertile land for barren mountains was soon known by the people of Tunli.

The people of Tunli knew about this and had different opinions on this matter. Some people say that Laiwang loses the family, and casually replaces a few acres of fertile land for barren mountains. is the same as Zhao Laocai, the landlord cub in the previous tun. In the past, the land of Zhaojiatun was all owned by Zhao Laocai's family, but Zhao Laocai was very loser, loved to gamble, and lost all the land in his family to Zhao Sangou, who was slandered by Tunli. Before the liberation, he became a poor middle peasant, but after the liberation, when he was fighting the local tyrants, Zhao Sangou was killed, and Zhao Laocai turned over and became the master. Zhao Laocai didn't dare to gamble later, and An An lived to be ninety years old. He died only a few years ago. The story has been circulating in Zhaojiatun.

Some people say that Laiwang was poured [***] soup by Zhao's secretary, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing. The barren mountains around the mountain temple can't even grow masson pines, let alone any fruit trees or the like. Exchanging fertile land for such a barren mountain is simply a water in the head.

Some people also say that Laiwang was fascinated by ghosts. The big green wolf that Yulong saw yesterday morning was a wolf spirit, and Laiwang was taken up by a wolf spirit, and he wanted to guard the treasure land in that area for the wolf spirit. It is said that the area around the mountain temple is said to be a wolf's den in the past. There was a big green wolf who cultivated into a refinement, and later the ancestors of the Zhao family built a mountain temple there to suppress the wolf essence. But now that the mountain temple is in decline, it can't suppress the spirit of the wolf spirit, and it comes out to make a fool of itself. It is said that when I entered the temple yesterday, I saw that the statue of the mountain god had peeled off its shell, and there was no half of the divine light.

When He Biqing heard about this, he found Laiwang, who was going through the formalities with Zhao Shengcai.

"Come to Wang, come to Wang. You come over first. Sister-in-law asks you something. He Biqing ignored Zhao Shengcai's uncertain face and directly called Wang aside.

"Sister-in-law Qing. What's the matter? Laiwang grinned. He roughly knew He Biqing's intention in his heart.

"Are you stupid? Such a good fertile land, you go to exchange barren mountains with Zhao Haozi? You can't even grow a bird in that barren mountain, so what do you have for it? Hurry up and tell Zhao Shengcai, let's not change it. He Biqing said.

"Sister-in-law Qing, don't worry about this. I've figured it out beforehand. I'll go back to your house and explain to you. Maybe you have to pull your sister-in-law to join the gang. Laiwang said.

"You silly boy, what good ideas can you have? Now an acre of fertile land is rented out casually, and it is a few hundred yuan per acre. My mother's family has a vineyard, and the rent of an acre of land is directly 500 per acre, and it is said that everyone is not doing it today, and the rent has to rise to 600. Your four or five acres of land are all fertile land. If you want that barren mountain, just ask for it. Who's going to stop it? He Biqing said.

"It's different. Now these barren mountains have become my foundation and self-reserved land, and once the formalities are completed, the village will have no reason to ask me for fees in the future. These acres of land are of little use to me. In our situation in Zhaojiatun, you also know that these few acres of land are given to others to plant, and no one necessarily wants them. Everyone didn't want to hand over the land, mainly thinking that they might have the opportunity to get the compensation from the political axe in the future. It's also a good deal for me to change to such a big place. Laiwang said.

"Have you really figured it out? What are you doing with that place? He Biqing was suspicious.

"Just wait and see. This time I wasn't confused. Lai Wang smiled and walked in again, "Uncle Shengcai, let's hurry up and get the formalities done!" ”

"Good. Laiwang. Let's make it clear that these acres of fertile land were withdrawn by you on your own initiative. These barren mountains will be your own land from now on. As long as the above policies do not change, this barren mountain is your home. If this place is expropriated by the state in the future, all the levy money will be yours. Zhao Shengcai said very loudly, in fact, he said this to He Biqing.

He Biqing shook her head, she still didn't understand why Laiwang would do this. But after all, Laiwang is just a cousin who is not very close, and he is not good at managing too much. Otherwise, gossip is not very good.

The village cadres who went through the formalities together smiled, "That place wants to wait for the expropriation, and it is estimated that it will have to wait for the next life." ”

The area around the mountain temple is extremely remote, and it is impossible to build highways, railways, etc., let alone build economic development zones. In the past, some people wanted to build a chemical plant, but they were driven away by Zhaojiatun's people.

"Laiwang, what are you going to do with that barren mountain? Didn't you find a gold mine there and want to pan for gold secretly? Someone asked again.

"The next time I dig for gold, you will dig with you, and you will dig it up. But I don't pay for it. Lai Wang said with a smile.

"Hehe, Laiwang is shrewd now, is it after being struck by lightning, is it enlightened? He closed his mouth so tightly. Actually, what's the matter? If you don't say it, I understand, you want to set up a farm, right? "Everyone is not stupid, there is really no other possible surname in that place except for a farm.

Laiwang just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Laiwang, let me tell you, you'd better not mess with the idea of breeding, otherwise you'll lose so much that you don't even have underwear to wear." Another villager next to him said.

"Why?" Laiwang asked casually.

"Do you need to ask? What are chickens and ducks most afraid of? Wong tai sin. Although I have seen this guy here in Tunli all these years, but the mountain temple is connected with stars falling down the mountain, can those things be missing there? Raising chickens and ducks is designated to deliver food to these guys. In addition, nothing can be grown in that barren mountain, and all the food for raising chickens and ducks has to be bought. There's nothing to be gained. "There are only so many ways to get money in this countryside, and they have long been thought through by these people who have hollowed out their minds, and they are also all ways to analyze it.

"Laiwang, do you really want to engage in breeding?" Zhao Shengcai said a decent word in the way of face.

"There is a plan for this. But it's not settled yet. Anyway, I haven't started yet. Take a look first. When the formalities are completed, I will think about it again. Laiwang said.

"That's good." Zhao Shengcai picked up the print of Yidu Water Village and stamped it on black and white paper, and the formalities were completed.

"The formalities in the village are pretty much the same. But after the New Year, I have to go to the town to report it. Not a big problem. The barren mountain was originally the public land of the village, and it was a wasteland. Zhao Shengcai handed over several signed and stamped contracts to Laiwang.

In addition, there is also an application for building a house in Wang's house. The building permit cannot be handled in the village now, and it has to go to the town's land office to get it. However, as long as Murakami opens the certificate, it can be approved.

"You want to raise wild beasts?" He Biqing's surprise was even greater than hearing that Laiwang had exchanged fertile land for barren mountains.

"It's not all beasts, either. I'd like to see if I can domesticate elk or something. If it can be done, it should be better than going out to work as a coolie. Laiwang said.

"But how can you do a good job if you don't have any skills? You also have to apply for a license to raise wild animals, and you must have certain conditions before you can get it. Where do you get the money to invest? He Biqing asked.

Laiwang scratched his head, "If the relief money is approved, I will repair the infrastructure of the farm first, which should not cost much money." Anyway, it's near the mountain temple, so I'll continue to live there for the time being. In the future, when the farm makes money, the house will be repaired. ”

"That's it, I guess that the relief money is not enough. Besides, you still have to get a license. It also costs money. He Biqing said.

"Why don't we do it together?" Laiwang said. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and I don't know what to think if I don't recognize them.

He Bi glanced at Lai Wang innocently, "Partnership? ”

He Biqing was very hesitant, if she wanted to talk about money, she did have it in her hand, although she spent a lot of money on treatment before she died, but later the factory in Guangdong lost a fortune. In addition, when I used to work in Xixi, I also made a lot of money. But this money is He Biqing's only source of livelihood now. Although He Biqing is not very old, it is too early to say that he will provide for the elderly. People are young, and they want to live a new life when they meet the right one.

But if He Biqing wanted to take it out and invest in partnership with Laiwang, He Biqing was very hesitant. He Biqing has a good impression of Laiwang, but it is only limited to this person, and the essence is not bad. But this kid's mud, He Biqing agrees. Take this time to exchange fertile land for barren mountains, it is not that the loser is coming to the point of prosperity, and it is really impossible to do it.

"I know. I wasn't sensible before. It's not practical to do things. But now I really want to make a career. I also know that this is a very risky thing. Sister-in-law Qing, if you don't want to, then forget it. I'll find another way. Laiwang said.

"Figured out? How do you figure it out? It takes a lot of money to build a farm. Someone in my mother's family runs a pig farm, and one investment is five or six hundred thousand. If you engage in beast breeding, no matter how you do it, you will have to get one or two hundred thousand, right? If you want to do anything else, if you want to build, you have to build a wool road from the entrance of the village up the mountain, and even if you just level out an adobe road, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan, right? Luckily, there is a machine farming road on the other side of the forest farm. You're about to take it. He Biqing gave Laiwang a little calculation, and immediately Laiwang was stunned. It's really not something he can stand up to.

"I really can't. I'll figure it out again. I've already made up my mind about this anyway. By the way, sister-in-law Qing, I shot a wild boar yesterday, and one day I will send you a corner to try it. Laiwang said.

"You don't have to rush this matter first. I'll think about it. He Biqing said.

Lai Wang thought about things in his heart, and sat here with He Biqing for a while before leaving. When he walked out of the yard, He Biqing chased after him again.

"Laiwang, tell your sister-in-law, have you really made up your mind to do business?" He Biqing asked very seriously, as if he had to make an important decision. And the answer to this decision depends entirely on Laiwang's answer.
