Chapter 173: Clearing the Wasteland

Mu Xiu folded the letter, put it into the space, and began to read the books mailed by Lu Yuan, and the books sent this time included junior high school Chinese, geometry, physics, chemistry, foreign languages, algebra, history and other books.

There are five notes, namely one for Chinese, one for algebraic geometry, one for physics, one for chemistry, one for foreign languages, thick, all of which have been memorized for three years, with clear classification, one lesson and one record, which looks organized and clear at a glance, and even Mu Xiu admired it from the bottom of his heart.

With these books, Mu Xiu can study at home in junior high school, she puts some books in the space, and some on the table to read later.

"It's been a month, Mu Xiu should have received it a long time ago, why don't you write me a letter." Lu Yuan looked at the green grass outside the window, and after being distracted for a while, he lowered his head and continued to do the exercises.

When he replied, Mu Xiu would naturally write it, but it would take a while for Lu Yuan to receive it.

Now that spring ploughing has been busy for more than half of the time, Mu Xiu thought about it, took out the jar of wine from the space and put it in the back basket, put a few more sausages, and walked towards the village party secretary's house.

Chen Xiangyang is the village party secretary, and according to the county's standards, there is a salary subsidy every month, as for how much, no one knows, but Chen Xiangyang's family is definitely a wealthy family in the village.

Now that it is spring ploughing, Chen Xiangyang only needs to do a good job of commanding, after all, half of the people in the village carry out the experiment of contracting fields to households, and half of the people are still earning work points in the public ownership system, and Chen Xiangyang also belongs to the work sharing part.

The time of spring ploughing, the collective earns more land here, there are many people, and the few cows in the village that belong to the collective only work here, which makes the people who have contracted the fields to the households really blush, if there is a cow, they can do a lot of work.

"Uncle Chen, you're at home." When Mu Xiu entered the door, he saw Chen Xiangyang turning over the soil in the yard.

"Your aunt also raised a few chickens this year, and she planted some vegetables in the yard so that she could feed the chickens in the future." Chen Xiangyang put down the shovel in his hand and washed his hands.

"Let's go, let's go inside."

Mu Xiu followed behind Chen Xiangyang, entered the room and put down the back basket, took out the wine and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, what you brought this time is enough for you to drink for a while." ”

Chen Xiangyang opened the lid and smelled the mellow smell of wine, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"It's so fragrant, I've been seduced out of this wine worm."

"And the sausage I made, stir-fried with garlic sprouts or chili, is the perfect dish for the sake of alcohol." Mu Xiu also took out the sausage.

"Every time you come, you don't come empty-handed, I'm embarrassed." Chen Xiangyang said politely.

"Uncle Chen, you are too much of an outsider when you say this, and you have also helped my family a lot, no, I need your guidance again." Mu Xiu said sweetly.

"You girl, hahaha, you can really talk." Chen Xiangyang laughed.

"You're talking about clearing the wasteland, I only came back from the county two days ago, and I inquired clearly." Chen Xiangyang paused, thought about it for a while, and then continued; "It is possible to open up wasteland, but only state-owned barren mountains, wasteland, and barren beaches that have not determined the right to use the land, and can only cultivate land and raise fish for agricultural production, and cannot build residential houses."

"We have enough houses to live in, so we want to have more land." Mu Xiu said.

"The reclaimed wasteland must be approved by the county people's government and then implemented by the village cadres before it can be used by individuals, and of course, these wasteland must also charge a certain fee."

"Then after the fee, will the land be our own land from now on?" Mu Xiu doesn't know much about this.

"No, if it is a wasteland divided after the consent of the village, and a certain fee is paid, it can be leased for a long time, and the maximum period is not more than 50 years, and when the state recovers it in the future, it will also make some compensation, if it is a wasteland that is privately opened up by itself, even if the harvest is good, even if it is planted for more than ten years, as long as the state wants to take it back, it will be taken back immediately, and there will be no compensation."

"So that's the case, Uncle Chen, my family is willing to pay for the wasteland they have opened up, is there any suitable land in the village? How much is an acre. Mu Xiu didn't want to fatten the land, so he was taken away, or signed a contract insurance, in black and white, at a glance.

"Isn't there a barren mountain at the back door of your house? It is only two miles away from your home, from east to south, there are more than a dozen acres of wasteland. Chen Xiangyang remembers the land in the village clearly.

"That's okay, why is there so much wasteland." Mu Xiu asked puzzled.

"Because of the proximity to the mountain, in the early years, when it rained heavily and flooded, the small stones on the mountain were washed there, and now you go to see, the fields are full of big stones and small stones, although there has been no flood for more than ten years, but who knows if it will be in the future, so when the village used to organize the opening of wasteland, it did not move there."

"I see." Mu Xiu is not afraid of floods, because people were too poor in the past, and the bark and grass roots were eaten, which caused ecological damage, and it was easy to flood when it rained.

"Uncle Chen, I'll take a look first, and then I'll reply to you." Mu Xiu said.

"There are other wastelands, but the area is small and scattered, at most five acres together, why don't you change it?" Chen Xiangyang said kindly.

"No, Uncle Chen, I want to be connected, I'll go first." Mu Xiu said as he walked in the direction of the field.

When Mu Xiu arrived at the place, he circled around, not to say ten points about this land, but also eight points of satisfaction.

First of all, the location is far from the village, and then it is close to the mountain, and the front has to pass by her door, and the back has to climb over the mountain to get out, and this piece of land has become her backyard vegetable garden.

The disadvantage is that there is too much sand and rocks.

But...... This is a small problem for Mu Xiu, who has space, and she can receive it all in the space first.

Mu Xiu was very satisfied with the land, and she did not stay any longer, and returned to Chen Xiangyang's house again.

Chen Xiangyang saw that Mu Xiu was coming back soon, showed a clear expression, and said first: "I'll just say that the land is not good, come, let's discuss which one to change." ”

"No, Uncle Chen, I want that." Mu Xiu said sharply.

"No regrets?" Chen Xiangyang confirmed again.

"Absolutely no regrets, Uncle Chen, what are the procedures to go through next?"

"Tomorrow I will go to the county seat, write a long-term lease contract, let the government stamp it, and the village will stamp it again."

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Chen, but what is the rent of this acre of land?" Mu Xiu asked.
