Although the fishing village looks small, it is actually divided, and it is said that it is divided within the management of a county called Xin'an, but the county seat is still some distance from the coast.

These fishermen are also under the jurisdiction of Xin'an County, but Xin'an County is really poor and has nothing to develop. In the agricultural era, once the land could not be cultivated, it would limit the development of the local area.

Xin'an County is flooded almost every year, and during the rainy season, large areas of land are flooded by the sea, and all residents have to take refuge in the mountains until the rainy season is over.

So when Xing Shuang went to the coast she bought, and then went to the surrounding fishermen's houses to look, she found that almost all the fishermen here lived in dilapidated houses, and some of them still had seaweed hanging on the walls of their homes, and no one even repaired and cleaned them.

After Xing Shuang asked about the situation, she really felt compassion for these fishermen.

People are poor and remote people, but this place is poor and poor, but everyone maintains a simple heart. No matter how poor and hard it is, every family is very hardworking, and there has never been a lazy man and lazy woman.

When they heard that this part of the coast had been bought, and that they were not even restricted from going out to sea to fish, the fishermen rushed over to see what the rich man who bought the coast was like.

When they saw Xing Shuang and Zhen Yinglian dressed in luxurious clothes, the fishermen were stunned and didn't dare to step forward anymore.

Xing Shuang had the intention of hiring them to fish for herself, so naturally she didn't want to put up any shelf, because she was accompanied by Jiaxing and could translate at any time, so she called the head of the fishing village to come over and ask questions.

The village chief seemed to be very old, Xing Shuang thought he was sixty or seventy years old at first, but when he asked, he was less than fifty.

The village chief's surname is Yu, and when he introduced himself in this village, he learned that he had served as the village chief for 20 years. For a long time, if there was a rising water, he organized the villagers to retreat, and the county government of Xin'an County never took care of them.

Xing Shuang was very sympathetic in his heart, not to mention the typhoon season on this coast, even the usual high tide would make it very inconvenient for the fishermen, so he asked the old man Yu: "Why don't you retreat a few miles from your residence, at least not suffer from the high tide." ”

Yu Laohan sighed: "The nobles don't know anything, we people only rely on the sea to eat the sea on weekdays, and there is no other income." Every morning, you have to go out to sea to fish, if it is late, you can't catch fish for a day, there is no income, and it is difficult to keep two meals a day.

"It's far away, it's a lot safer, but the daily journey back and forth takes another hour. In this way, let alone fishing every day for a living, even if you catch a fish, you don't have time to go to the county to change rice and grain. ”

Xing Shuang pondered for a while, turned his head and whispered to Jiaxing: "Which one is this Xin'an County Cheng, do you know?" ”

Jiaxing also replied in a low voice: "The county surname is Zhang Mingyuan, and I heard that he is also the same batch of candidates as Uncle Zhu, and he is only in his early thirties this year. When the small one went to buy land, he also had contact with this Zhang County Cheng, who was dedicated to the people, but only suffered from the small county, the remote location, the county was poor and there was no money, and several rectifications were unsuccessful.

"If the wife thinks that these people are pitiful and has the heart to subsidize them, it's not impossible, the little one has an idea, it is better to collect these fishermen as tenants, anyway, they have to go out to sea to fish, why don't we send someone to collect some fresh goods every day, take some rice and grain and return it to them."

Xing Shuang shook his head and said: "This only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, let's talk about this matter later." But I really need some tenants, and you can negotiate this matter with this old man, and I'll go somewhere else first. ”

Jiaxing hurriedly responded, and Xing Shuang took Zhen Yinglian to go shopping.

In addition to the coastline, further inland, there is a large area of woods, the ecology is well maintained, and there are a large number of rare birds.

The more Xing Shuang looked at it, the more she felt happy, this was a beautiful scenery that she couldn't see in the future generations, so she couldn't help but say to Zhen Yinglian: "If you can build a villa here, it's a good place to escape the heat in summer." ”

Zhen Yinglian smiled: "Mrs. is afraid that she is thinking about our Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing?" Although this place is also cool, but you still have to avoid the rainy season, build a village in this forest, I am afraid that it will not be flooded for three or four months a year. ”

Xing Shuang said in her heart, it seems that this flooding problem is the most urgent need to change in this area, so she silently wrote it down in her heart and prepared to go back and talk to her husband.

After shopping for a while, and then turning back, Jiaxing had signed an agreement with Yu Laohan, and more than a dozen villagers in this fishing village had become tenants of the Jia family.

Xing Shuang said to Yu Laohan at this time: "Since I am a tenant of my family, I also have something to say here." ”

Yu Laohan led the villagers to kneel, ready to listen to Xing Shuang's orders.

Xing Shuang hurriedly waved his hand, and stepped forward to help the old man, and when the others saw this, they didn't dare to bother Mrs. to help them personally, and they didn't stand on their knees for a while.

"Listen, everybody, our wife doesn't like this complicated etiquette." Jiaxing was clever and hurriedly shouted, and all the fishermen were skeptical, but they still stood obediently and obediently.

Xing Shuang looked around, and saw that these people were still a little timid, sighed slightly in her heart, and smiled as kindly as possible: "You don't have to be polite, this usual rule, someone will come to explain to you, and what I want to say today is not these." ”

Yu Laohan hurriedly said, "Madam, please speak." ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "Since you have signed the agreement, you are the tenants of my family, as long as you are still the same as before, hardworking and hardworking, I will not treat you badly."

"There are only a few points, and I want to make it clear to you. I will ask someone to replace your fishing gear and boats with new ones, so that you can increase production and efficiency, but please cherish and care, and do not waste it at will. ”

Yu Laohan can understand some official dialect, but what does this increase in production and efficiency mean, he doesn't quite understand.

Jiaxing said in Cantonese on the side: "What Mrs. means, in the future, you will all be tenants of our family, she will replace the boat and fishing gear for you to be good, so that you can catch more fish, but you must take good care of it, and you must not damage the fishing gear and boat." ”

Xing Shuang only understood half of it, but she knew that what she said was too literary, and after the other party couldn't understand it, she immediately changed her tone and said: "This second point, I hope you move, this house is close to the sea, although it is convenient, it is not safe to live."

"Since you are my tenants, I will keep you safe. I will ask someone to build this house, and I will arrange vehicles at that time, so that you can go to the beach together every morning, and you will not lose too much time. In addition, when you come back from fishing, these fish can only be handed over to my family's family, and you will not have to go to the county seat to change rice and grain. ”

When Yu Laohan heard that this noble lady was going to move for them and would give them a car, he was immediately excited and wanted to kneel down again, but when he remembered that his wife didn't like to kneel, he quickly held back, but he couldn't help it.
