Chapter 14 Selling water to make money, officials and businessmen colluded
"The well water in Gujing Village can cure all diseases, have you heard? Half-paralysis can be cured. ”
"Uh-huh, I heard. It is said that even dead trees sprout quickly when they are watered with well water."
The imagination of the common people is endless, one thing, you tell him, and then he tells others, the more it spreads, the more it spreads, and it reaches Zuihou, and the water in Gujing Village is almost catching up with the holy water in the jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
However, the effect is also obvious, recently many people have come to Gujing Village to ask for water, most of them are sick at home, and some are patients who come in person.
The price set by the village chief Li is not high, the village has built a mat shed next to the ancient well, and put pots and bowls, etc., and the utensils used to measure the water are the blue and white sea bowls of the village chief's house, twenty yuan for a bowl of water, this price is quite real in Mo Fei's opinion. With the current function of well water, let alone twenty, it is worth two hundred. Seeing that the reputation of Gujing Village was out, Mo Fei didn't want the village to have a reputation for swaggering and deception because of the failure of the ancient well water, so he poured a little space water into the ancient well from time to time. After so many days of observation, Murphy found that pouring about a bucket of water into the well should last about three days, of course, provided that it is not overused, otherwise, the concentration of space water contained in the well water will decrease, and it will correspondingly lose its immediate magical effect.
Many people who come to Gujing Village to ask for water are very satisfied. Some stubborn diseases that have not been cured for many years have actually been alleviated or even disappeared after drinking a few bowls of water. This spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the good reputation of Haode made Gujingsun famous, and even some people in the city also came to visit.
Recently, Village Chief Li's old face has become a chrysanthemum, and these days, people come to ask for water every day, and the water money alone has more than 300,000 yuan. Gujing Village is not big, there are only about 100 households, and each household can spread a few thousand yuan, which is about to catch up with a year's income.
Gujing Village is located in a remote area, and the traffic is not convenient. There is no way to make money in the village, relying on the land to eat, all year round, tired and tired, hard, a family has an income of more than 3,000 yuan. These days, the income from buying water is almost catching up with the income of the villagers for a year, can Village Chief Li not be happy. In addition, the villagers have recently eaten well water, and the people in the village have seen that they have all become healthy, especially those old people, who are also in good spirits and full of red light, which is the greatest happiness. Look at the large green crop field at the entrance of the village, it is obviously a lot better than the next village, in the autumn, this is another bumper harvest, this year's hard work is worth it.
Village Chief Li, who was patrolling back and forth in the fields and villages with his hands behind his back, was very satisfied, and hummed a little song very happily.
Murphy has been very quiet these days. In addition to pouring some space water into the ancient well every few days, he sat in his small courtyard every day to read books and write. The spiritual water in the small pool in the Mo Lian diagram seemed to be endless, and after so many days, there was no sign of decreasing, and Mo Fei was completely relieved. These days, Murphy has been a little worried about this matter, if it has any unpleasant impact on the space, it will really be worth the loss.
Murphy has been in a good mood lately. On that day, because of mental exhaustion, Mo Fei inadvertently entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man contained in the Taoist book, and attracted the aura of heaven and earth that had gathered for thousands of years on the Daqing Mountain behind the village, not only strengthened his physique, gained the ability to communicate with plants, but even his own ink lotus diagram also benefited a lot, the area of the entire space became several times larger, and the concentration of aura in the space seemed to be more sufficient. What was especially surprising was that the white lotus in the small waterhole actually pulled out a flower bud, small, tender, and weak, but it contained endless vitality, Mo Fei has always thought that this white lotus is the most important thing in the space of Mo Lian, maybe the whole space exists because of this lotus. There has been such a big change in the space, and the change in the body of the ink lotus map is not small, the lotus birthmark on the chest is about the size of a fist, the ink lotus, the swimming fish are faintly visible, just like a tattoo, these days, the general existence of this birthmark seems to have become much lighter and shallower, and even the area seems to have become smaller, and it doesn't look so abrupt, this change makes Mo Fei very happy.
Last time, when Mo Fei bought flower tree seedlings in the nursery, he bought more, just to plant them in the space, and it was a pity that Mo Lian Space was not used in such a large open space. The space produces extraordinary products, and the melons and fruits in this small world are fragrant, and the flowers are full of flowers, which makes me feel comfortable when I think about it.
In the Molian space, Mo Fei is a god, which is also the result of many verifications. He can control every inch of land in the space through his mental power, and his heart can move completely at will. So planting fruit trees in the space couldn't be easier for Murphy. The space seems to have a special effect on the growth of plants, and in just a few days, this space has already been fruitful, and of course, the swarm of bees has helped a lot. Murphy, who has always had little resistance to food, also harvested honey once. Not to mention, it tastes wonderful.
That morning, Murphy had breakfast and cleaned the yard again. Sitting on a bamboo chair under the grape trellis, he squinted his eyes comfortably. The sun shines through the dense foliage, dotting golden flakes. The bushes of purple bamboo in front of the window grew very luxuriantly, a few wisps of wind blew, and the rustling of bamboo leaves added a bit of tranquility to this beautiful small courtyard.
At that moment, there was a commotion in the street outside the courtyard, as well as the sound of car engines. There have always been very few outsiders in Gujing Village, and even those who have come to ask for water recently are only residents of a few surrounding towns and villages. To put it mildly, at best, it is just a county seat that gathers more than 100 miles away. There are very few people who come by car in person, so I guess it's some kind of rich big boss.
Mo Fei was puzzled, so he also came out of his small courtyard. Looking from afar, I saw two luxury cars parked at the entrance of the village department. The little children in the village rarely have the opportunity to go out, and Gujing Village is relatively remote, and there are not a few cars all year round, let alone this kind of luxury car. Many children gathered around the car and pointed, not bursting into chirping laughter. Mo Fei couldn't help but smile when he looked at these simple and happy children.
At this time, the atmosphere in the village was a little depressing. A fat-headed and big-eared man looked at the chairs in the village with disgust on his face, took out a handkerchief, wiped it and wiped it, and Zuihou frowned before sitting down. Next to him, he wore gold legs and eyes, and he looked polite. He gently said to Village Chief Li, who was sitting opposite: "Village Chief Li, this is Manager Zhang of the Guansheng Group in the province, this time I came down to investigate the miraculous well water in Gujing Village, this matter has a great impact, why don't you report it to the county?" If this is the case, Guansheng Group plans to establish a health care company with Gujing as the water source, which is a great thing for our county and even your Gujing Village. You have to do a good job of hospitality. ”
The person who spoke was the secretary of the county deputy county magistrate Wang, surnamed Zhao, who was in charge of economic construction work, and often followed the deputy county magistrate Wang down to inspect the work. Before Village Chief Li could speak, Secretary Zhao said:
"I came down this time, and I was also instructed by County Magistrate Wang, and the county attaches great importance to this matter. Do not hesitate to mention any difficulties you have. ”
Looking at Secretary Zhao's smiling expression, Village Chief Li and the others understood that they were going to drive ducks to the shelves, and if they didn't agree, they had to agree, and they couldn't help but hold back the fire in their hearts.
"Okay, Village Chief Li, take us to visit the ancient well, it's really curious to hear what others say is so evil."
Village Chief Li had no choice, as long as he led the two "uncles" to the ancient well at the foot of the mountain. Since the news came out that Gujing Village could spend money to buy water, there have been villagers who come here every day, so the village is much more lively than before.
Next to the ancient well, under the simple tent, the accountant is carefully keeping accounts. Who said how much money, how much water bought, these must be remembered clearly, this is the common wealth of the villagers, so you have to be careful. From time to time, people from other villages come to pay for water, the price is not expensive, and everyone can afford it, which is much cheaper than going to the hospital for treatment, so the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Seeing that the village was selling water to make money, Secretary Zhao couldn't help frowning, and was about to say something, but Manager Zhang of the Guansheng Group next to him had already expressed his position in advance:
"Village Chief Li, Secretary Zhao and I came to inspect the investment and construction of the factory on behalf of the Guansheng Group and your county government, which is a great thing for you farmers. Why do you privately exchange well water for money for a little petty profit, why don't you stop this behavior quickly?"
Originally, when the villagers saw Village Chief Li leading two people dressed like dogs, they thought that some rich people came to buy water, so they didn't care much. These days, there are more people who come to Gujing Village to buy water, and it is difficult to arouse everyone's interest. Who knows, as soon as this one comes, he will stop selling water in the village, and what factory will be built, this ancient well is from Gujing Village, when will it be your turn to be an outsider to point fingers. A young man couldn't see it:
"You said if you don't sell it, you won't sell it? How old are you! This is Gujing Village, it's not your kangtou, here, it's the king of heaven Laozi who is here, and you can't stand if you squat. ”
"Yes, yes, the well water in our village has nothing to do with you, and whether you build a factory or not, we are really not rare. If you want to occupy our ancient well, there is no way. ”
For a while, the surrounding villagers were all filled with righteous indignation. This is really too bullying, blatantly come to rob, what is not to build a factory to occupy the ancient well, take the opportunity to make money. A few people from other villages waiting to buy water are also full:
"Don't sell water, what about our old man's illness, the family is waiting for this water to cure the disease!" At the moment, whether it is buying water or selling water, no one pays attention to Manager Zhang's stubble.
When Manager Zhang saw that he was ignored by everyone, he was immediately so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck:
"You hillbillies, stop selling water, this ancient well will soon be our Guansheng Group, and you have no right to sell water anymore."
"Fuck off, our ancestors have grown up eating this well water for generations, you said that you want to develop it is yours, with our permission, we still don't agree to this matter!" An old man said indignantly with a crutch. This uncle is famous for his fiery temper in Gujing Village, when he was young, the village called him Wang Sanpao, but now many little babies call him Sanpao Grandpa, and the old man always responds with a smile.
"Get out of Gujing Village, you are not welcome in our village." When some villagers heard the news, they rushed to hear the whole story, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. At that moment, some villagers who were more angry scolded Manager Zhang of Guansheng Group.
"Village Chief Li, look" Secretary Zhao's face sank like water, and the development of this matter was completely different from what he expected. I thought it was just a bun of dirt buns who had never seen the world, and I didn't expect this group of people to be the stones of the latrine - smelly and hard. The green mountains and bad waters come out of the people, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me, Secretary Zhao thought indignantly.
"This Secretary Zhao, you also know that this ancient well is collectively owned by our village and does not belong to anyone, so it is difficult for me to do it!"
Village Chief Li had long been blind to these two people. Damn, come here to take advantage, I think it's beautiful, how can there be such a haode thing in the world. Seeing that they were being abused and reprimanded by the villagers, Village Chief Li had no intention of stopping them in the slightest.
"You" Secretary Zhao was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his face turned red. Since I became the secretary of County Magistrate Wang, not to mention walking sideways in Lingshui County, I have never suffered such a wretch. Where is it not flattered, treated as a guest, and offered as a bodhisattva, and I don't know how many benefits I received by the way. This time it was good, not only did he not complete the things assigned by County Magistrate Wang, but he was also scolded by a group of turtles, and he couldn't help but hold back the fire in his heart.
"Okay, good, you people don't obey the leadership of the party and the government, and you will regret it when the time comes, Manager Zhang, let's go, and we will punish them in the future."
Seeing that the matter was not reached, the two of them also made a commotion, although they were indignant in their hearts, they were also helpless. Leaving behind a cruel word, the two of them got into the car in embarrassment and left.
