The car drove for a long time along the winding mountain road, as if it was about to go straight into the sky, and after reaching the highest point, it plunged headlong into the heart of the vast mountain forest.

Liu Yi read the report notice in his hand countless times, and he could almost memorize it backwards.

His ass was tossed and the asphalt had come to an end half an hour earlier, leaving it with a rough gravel dirt road that looked like it would take a while to reach its destination.

"Those old guys really went to great lengths to get me away."

Liu Yi smiled sarcastically and withdrew his gaze from the car window.

The mountain road is steep, and the cliff is at the bottom of his feet, which makes Liu Yi, who is a little afraid of heights, feel the urge to jump.

He leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, even if he couldn't sleep, he closed his eyes to recuperate.

Although Liu Yi is the eldest grandson of the Liu family, he is not immune to the selection of heirs, and in all the Liu families who speak with strength, his identity does not bring him more privileges.

Long before returning from studying abroad, Liu Yi was mentally prepared for being sent down, but he didn't expect what kind of dilemma he was about to face.

In a daze, I felt that the car stopped, and someone was shouting to get off the car in Acacia Village.

Liu Yi woke up with an agitated spirit, grabbed his luggage and walked to the door of the car, but what was waiting for him was not the imaginary village, but an old man driving a carriage.

After some conversation, Liu Yi learned that there was still a fifty-mile mountain road to Yanghuai Village, and the village knew that a new village official was coming today, so he specially sent a carriage to pick it up, otherwise he would have to walk in this mountain road by himself.

Not to mention how long it tossed around, when Liu Yi finally arrived at Yanghuai Village, he gasped after just one glance.

As far as the eye can see, the houses hidden in the mountains and forests are all brick houses with yellow mud embryos, low and dilapidated.

After the previous rain, the dirt road in the village turned into a mud puddle, trampled by people and livestock.

Seeing that the sun was drifting westward, the villagers who had gone to work in the fields had not returned home, and only the previous village party secretary stood at the entrance of the village to greet him.

The old branch secretary's surname is Deng, a native of Yanghuai Village, who greeted Liu Yi warmly and took him to his home.

"Xiao Liu! It's great that you're here, our place is so poor that no bird can come, let alone a delicate city dweller. Today, you will live at your uncle's house, and tomorrow will find a place for you to stay. ”

Liu Yi nodded, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the challenge he was about to start.

You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, so it's better to rest today and make plans tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi went out early, he planned to thoroughly understand the situation in Yanghuai Village, and make corresponding plans as soon as possible.

The old branch secretary took Liu Yi to walk around the village and began to introduce Yanghuai Village in detail.

In the early years, a group of refugees fleeing the war reached the foot of the mountain, and as the war spread, they moved more and more into the mountains, and finally hid in the mountains.

Although after the end of the war, the state built the road into the mountains, but because of the topography, Yanghuai Village is still isolated from the world, and has never been able to develop, not to mention, even food and clothing can not be guaranteed, and finally became a well-known special poverty village in the country.

Liu Yi saw the villagers around him, all wearing patched clothes, looking malnourished, and he felt very uncomfortable.

How extravagant the world of flowers outside the mountain is, how shocking the poverty and backwardness here are.

He secretly made up his mind that not for the selection of heirs, but for the sake of this group of people, but also to get Yanghuai Village out of poverty and become rich.

"Old Uncle Deng, do you have any souvenirs in this mountain? Now there is a particularly high demand for this kind of green local products. There are also acacia trees, which can actually be sold for money. ”

It didn't take long for Liu Yi to walk around the whole village, and found that the village was almost wrapped in acacia forests, and he couldn't help but have a prototype of a plan in his mind, and turned his head to ask the old branch secretary.

"Can acacia trees really sell for money? The previous village official said that these trees were actually saplings he bought, but he didn't expect them to multiply so quickly, and by the way, he also brought some peach trees. ”

The words of the old branch secretary made Liu Yi stunned, and the peach tree?

He followed the old branch secretary over a hill, only to find that there were orchards here, full of peach trees.

"What's the matter, no wonder the acacia doesn't grow so good......"

Although Liu Yi is a Western-educated person, he is very obsessed with the ancient Feng Shui taboo of China.

Since ancient times, the acacia tree has been considered to be a tree with extremely strong yin energy, which is not suitable for planting around a house, while the peach tree is a tree with extremely strong yang energy, and can even ward off evil spirits and ward off evil spirits.

One can imagine what it would be like for these two opposing trees to be planted together.

"The previous village official brought the saplings and left it alone?"

Liu Yi asked that he knew that the government had a poverty alleviation plan, and would invest a lot of money to support poor areas to develop their own industries.

Since there is the planting of saplings, there should also be a follow-up repurchase.

The old branch secretary shook his head: "He only brought the saplings, and each family divided some, saying that someone collected them, and he didn't see anyone coming." Before you came, he was promoted, and it is said that he had outstanding political achievements, and he went to become an official in the county. ”

Liu Yi immediately understood that his previous term had never thought of helping Yanghuai Village get rid of poverty, but he just played a trick and used Yanghuai Village as a stepping stone.

He followed the old branch secretary back to the village, gathered the villagers, and said to everyone:

"Folks, I just looked at it, the head and end of the village are full of acacias, but although this locust tree is very versatile, it is not suitable for planting near the house, I want to ask everyone's opinion and cut down the tree, which is also for everyone's good."

As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, the pot exploded below:

"What? Cutting down trees? This is what the previous village chief introduced, what kind of project. ”

"Yes, it cost money, saying that someone came to collect it, and now it's cut, isn't that a waste of money?"

Everyone talked about it, but the old branch secretary suppressed the scene and said to Liu Yi:

"Xiao Liu, it's okay to cut down trees, but everyone points to planting trees and selling them for money, you have to think of a way, you can't let everyone be busy in vain."

Liu Yi thought about it, anyway, the tree has grown for so many years, and it has become a mature tree, so it is better to be able to exchange it for money.

He thought that one of his buddies was a timber merchant, and he might be interested in this batch of timber.

There was no mobile phone signal in the depths of the mountain, and thanks to an old-fashioned telephone in the village office, Liu Yi finally did not go out of the mountain to make this call.

Liu Yi heard from the phone that his buddy was not very interested in this batch of wood in the mountains, but for the sake of his face, he still promised to see the samples first.

"Thank you Lao Wei, when I go back, let's drink together again."

Liu Yi hung up the phone and told the old branch secretary what had happened, and the old man's vicissitudes of life suddenly smiled.

"Okay, good, it's good that someone is willing to collect wood, so that everyone can have the energy to do their work."

The crowd gathered at the entrance of the village had not dispersed, and when they heard the good news brought by the old branch secretary, they all excitedly said that as long as they needed to contribute, they would just open their mouths.

The locust trees in Acacia Village are planted everywhere whether they are at the entrance of the village or in the village, and the old branch secretary said that there was a contract system at that time, and those who were able to contribute money would share more saplings.

The widow Wang in the village received the most compensation because her husband used to work outside the mountains and received a sum of compensation after the accident, so she received the most seedlings when she distributed them.

Liu Yi decided to start with Widow Wang, and after getting the big family, the rest would be easy to handle.

After looking around in the crowd, the old branch secretary said that the widow Wang was not inside.

Since her husband's death, the widow has rarely appeared in public, trying to avoid trouble.
