Chapter IX Contracting 10,000 acres of barren forest
"How many acres did you just say, 10,000 acres?"
Li Jianguo's voice trembled visibly, and he asked in surprise.
I thought that Li Changqing was casually contracting a few acres for fun, but he didn't expect that the opening would be 10,000 acres, and Li Jianguo suddenly woke up half drunk!
"That's right, it's 10,000 acres!"
Li Changqing nodded affirmatively and said in a firm tone.
"Brother Qing, don't you really want to farm at home, do you?"
Li Hongdou remembered that Li Changqing had also said last night that he would stay at home and farm, and at that time he thought it was a joke, and looked at Li Changqing with disbelief.
"Changqing, it's not that the uncle won't help you! Don't just watch TV reports about those college students who have successfully started their own businesses at the grassroots level, in fact, there are only a very small number of them. And you also know the situation of Lijiaao, in the big ravine, the traffic is not convenient, and the special agricultural products are broken before they are shipped out, which is not worth it!"
"Uncle knows about you, what's the big deal, who doesn't make mistakes? You are so young and educated, you can make a comeback anywhere, there is no need to give up on yourself and nest in our poor ravine!"
Li Jianguo first analyzed Li Changqing very rationally, and then persuaded him earnestly.
"Yes, Brother Qing! I was joking when I said I supported you yesterday, you can't take it seriously!"
Li Hongdou felt that it was because of what he said yesterday that Li Changqing made this decision, and said nervously.
"Uncle Jianguo, I understand what you said! But I've really thought about it, and I'm going to trouble Uncle Jianguo next!"
Li Changqing showed a calm and peaceful smile, which made people look very comfortable, and said to Li Jianguo calmly.
"The old man said: Listen to people's persuasion, eat enough! Hey, you kid, don't hit the south wall and don't look back! If you really contract the barren forest in the village, it will be a great favor to your uncle, and your uncle should invite you to dinner!"
Li Jianguo sighed and said that he persuaded Li Changqing before from the perspective of his elders, not that it was difficult to contract 10,000 acres of barren forest.
On the contrary, as a village in the mountains, Lijiaao has very little arable land, but the per capita mountain forest area is as much as 70 acres!
Moreover, the relevant policies stipulate that trees cannot be cut down, and there are no cash crops, and the transportation to the outside is extremely inconvenient, and ordinary people are not willing to contract at all!
Village cadres often struggle with the fact that they have a large area of mountains and forests, but they cannot generate economic value.
If Li Changqing really contracted the 10,000 acres of barren forest in the village, it can be said that he has done the village a great favor!
"Uncle Jianguo, there is no need to eat, when do you see when I am free, I will go to the village to sign the contract?"
Li Changqing is also very familiar with the situation of Li Jiaao, as long as there is no one in the village to stop him, it should still be relatively smooth.
"Changqing, ugly words can be said in front, once the contract is signed, you can't go back on it!"
"Hehe, I know! Uncle Jianguo, you can put 10,000 hearts!"
"Okay, I'll call a meeting of the village cadres in the afternoon, and I'll come to your house again in the evening and tell you the results!"
Li Jianguo picked up the big black leather bag placed on the bench, sandwiched it in the creaky nest, and hurriedly said goodbye and rushed to the village committee.
"Brother Qing, okay! Very courageous, if you say stay and farm, you will stay and farm!"
Li Hongdou saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he didn't say anything anymore, and gave Li Changqing a thumbs up and joked.
"What's wrong with farming, give me a piece of land and plant a piece of sky!"
Li Changqing and Li Hongdou were talking about some inconsequential topics, and they were quite relaxed.
When everyone else was busy, Li Changqing put on Confucian clothes and hid in the room to read, with the bonus of 'Confucian clothes of Xiucai', and by the evening, hundreds of pages of the "Three Character Classic" had been able to memorize half of it completely.
"Changqing, your contract for 10,000 acres of barren forest has been largely approved by the village committee, and tomorrow morning you will go to the village to discuss some details!"
Li Jianguo went to Li Changqing's house in a hurry and told Li Changqing about some problems at the meeting.
Li Changqing could accept it after hearing it, there was no doubt, knowing that Li Jianguo had helped to say a lot of things, and left Li Jianguo for dinner before leaving.
When night fell, Li Dahai and Liu Cui'e went to bed early after watching the news broadcast.
Li Changqing quietly went out and climbed to the top of the back mountain, blowing the mountain breeze, listening to the birds, smelling the flowers, and reading under the moon.
Early morning!
Li Changqing greeted the morning dew and morning light as promised, and reading seemed to have become a part of his life.
It was almost until yesterday's agreed time for the meeting, Li Changqing went down the mountain to rush to the village committee, and the group of people in the village were ready.
At the meeting, it was mainly discussed which piece of mountain forest to contract, the money for one mu for many years, how long the contract period is, how to pay, and some related conditions.
After heated discussions, Li Changqing contracted 10,000 mu of Zhongnanshan's 10,000 mu of mountain forests at a price of 15 yuan per mu a year, with a contract term of 50 years, with payment for two years and regular payments once a year thereafter.
A total of 300,000 is needed in two years, but Li Changqing's card is only more than 200,000.
In the end, Li Dahai and Liu Cui'e took out their only tens of thousands of yuan and went to the town's postal bank with the village accountant to transfer the money to the village account.
After returning to the village in the afternoon, Li Changqing went to the village committee with the transfer slip to sign the contract.
The deadline for completing the farmer's professional task was seven days, but Li Changqing completed it in only two and a half days.
The only thing that made Li Changqing regret was that his contract life was relatively long, and the initial expenses directly made him bankrupt, and he also spent all his parents' savings.
"What can I do in the future, Qingwa has contracted Zhong Nanshan for 50 years, and she gets 150,000 yuan every year, where can I get so much money?"
Liu Cui'e was originally a very optimistic and cheerful person, but now she is worried all day long, worried that Li Changqing will not be able to come up with so much money in the future.
"Well, we can only help him get here. The path he has chosen for himself will go down on his knees!"
Li Dahai also sighed, his tired face looked helpless, and he couldn't hide the worry in his heart.
The news that Li Changqing contracted 10,000 acres of mountain forests in Zhongnan Mountain at a price of 150,000 yuan a year also spread in the village......
"Qingwazi won't be crazy because he can't bear the blow, right? There is no land on Zhongnan Mountain, so you can't plant anything, what's the use of contracting?"
"Who says it's not, our house in Lijiaao is already very ravine, Zhong Nanshan has to climb over the back mountain to get there, there is not even a wider road, even if it is reclaimed and planted with wheat, it is difficult to transport it. ”
"Maybe it's stupid to study, it's much better to have that money to go to the county to do some small business, even if you don't eat or drink all year round and stay on Zhong Nanshan, you can't earn 150,000, look at how their family will come up with 150,000 after two years!"
"I heard that Li Dahai and Liu Cui'e also advanced tens of thousands of yuan to Qingwa, and the two of them are really in a bad fate......!
