The two chatted while walking, and soon came to Lu Yao's house, and saw the seafood that Lu's mother was handling, and the old fisherman Lu Mingyi was also shocked: "Where did you buy such a big lobster and sea crab?"

The impact of the typhoon has not passed in the past few days, and not many fishing boats dare to go out to sea to fish, so Lu Mingyi will ask them where they bought it.

Lu Yao casually mentioned that he bought it at the fish market in the county, and then sighed: "Actually, there are still a lot of big guys in the sea now, but not many people can catch them." ”

Lu Mingyi shook his head and said, "Where is it so easy? I haven't caught such a big lobster and sea crab like the one you bought for a year or two." ”

Father Lu hadn't been at home for many years, and he didn't know much about the current catch in the sea, so he was surprised: "No, right? Are you so poor in the sea now? I remember that I used to go out to sea to fish, and lobsters of this size are not common, but they are not rare." ”

Lu Mingyi smiled bitterly: "Third child, you haven't been out to sea for many years, so naturally you don't know how many fish and shrimp there are in the sea now." If there were a lot of them, there wouldn't be so many people in the village who would leave their ancestral jobs and go to the city to work. ”

Lu Yao nodded, there are really few big guys in the sea, and the rest are fish fry and shrimp fry that have not grown. But these little things have still not been let go by everyone, and the nets of the dead households, electric shrimp nets, etc., have destroyed the fishing grounds in the East China Sea.

According to those fishermen, if I don't catch it anyway, others will catch it, so it's better to die together. As for the end of this year's fishing, who cares if there will be next year?

Hearing this, Father Lu looked at his son worriedly: "Xiao Yao, now that there are so few fish and shrimp in the sea, will you lose money when you buy a fishing boat?"

Lu Yao smiled and comforted: "Dad, don't worry. The boat I bought can go to the open sea, and although there are few fish and shrimp in the near sea, it does not mean that there are few in the open sea. ”

Father Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said continuously: "That's good, that's good!"

When Lu Mingyi heard that Lu Yao had bought a fishing boat, he really believed that Lu Yao really wanted to settle down and return to the village to develop. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that when he went back, he must find a way to let the people of the Wang family sell all the homesteads on the west side of the village to Lu Yao.

Anyway, those dilapidated houses are wasted, and it is better to give them to useful people.

While waiting for the meal to start, Lu Mingyi sincerely asked Lu Yao: "Xiaoyao, you and your daughter-in-law are the most educated people in our village, I want to ask you a question?"

"Uncle Village Chief, you said, as long as I know, I will not hide it. In fact, Lu Yao roughly guessed what he wanted to ask, and it just so happened that he also wanted to talk to Lu Mingyi about this issue.

Lu Mingyi pondered for a moment, pondered the words, and asked, "Do you think there is really any hope for development in the current situation of our village?"

This topic is a bit big, even Lu Yao didn't know how to answer for a while, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Uncle, this question depends on what you think? If it continues to be like the current one without the slightest change, the village will naturally have little hope." ”

Lu Mingyi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, but he didn't give up and asked, "Xiao Yao, why did you say that?"

Lu Yao explained: "This is an obvious thing, I don't know if you have heard of one thing, uncle, the county government intends to merge the following villages, and merge the sparsely populated villages near the sea into other villages. ”

Lu Mingyi's heart suddenly chuckled, he had just learned about this news not long ago, I don't know how Lu Yao also knew?

Lu Yao continued: "The merger of villages mainly depends on two points, one is the popularity of the village, and the other is how the economic development of the village is. For example, if our village continues to rely on fishing in this way, it will not make any money at all, and the economy will naturally not be able to develop without money, and the outflow of people from the village will increase, and it is inevitable that it will be merged in the end. ”

Lu Mingyi said in a bitter tone: "Then there is nothing we can do to watch the village being merged?"

Lu Yao Zhengse said: "Of course there are ways, and there are many of them, the key is to see if you can do it." ”

Lu Mingyi took two steps forward, grabbed Lu Yao's palm tightly, and said anxiously: "Xiao Yao, then you quickly tell my uncle what can be done to change the current situation? I don't think you want to watch Xiasha Village be merged into someone else's village, right?"

Lu Yao gently broke free of Lu Mingyi's palm and said comfortingly: "Uncle, don't worry, listen to me slowly." ”

"First of all, we need to change the traditional way of working with wooden boats. There are no fish in the offshore waters, and even if you go to sea every day, you can't make a lot of money. Therefore, if the village really wants to make a fortune by fishing, it has to buy a big boat and be able to go to the ocean to fish, so that it can make money. ”

Lu Mingyi shook his head and sighed: "How easy is it for you to say? A fishing boat that can fish in the open ocean will cost at least tens of millions, and who in our village can come up with so much money now? Even if it is a joint venture." ”

Lu Yao nodded, and then said: "Since this road does not work, then we have to find another way to make a fortune, and only by making the villagers feel that they can earn money at home, they are willing to go back to the village." ”

Lu Mingyi thought for a while, gave a thumbs up and praised: "What you say makes sense, but if we don't rely on government funding, how can we find another way to make a fortune?"

"Development of tourism and aquaculture. Lu Yao said with a final word.

"This ...... Can it really be done?" Lu Mingyi asked unconfidently.

He is no stranger to tourism, and it can be said that the current economic development of Longze Town is better than before, of which tourism accounts for a large proportion.

The mariculture industry has been advocated and supported by the state recently, and even this year the state issued a decree to allow private contracting of marine fisheries to make up for the declining amount of seafood.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Uncle, why can't this work? I won't say anything about the situation in our village, and you should know better than me." ”

"One of the main reasons why our village is so economically backward is related to the geographical location of the village, which is surrounded by the north and south peaks of Longshou Mountain, and is isolated by the East China Sea into an inland sea pattern, and the traffic is very inconvenient, and only a rugged mountain road can pass through the town. ”

"If it weren't for the government's village-to-village project a few years ago to build a road, cars wouldn't be able to drive in our village now. In the past, the only way to get to the town was to take a boat around the mountains to the north and reach the town pier. ”

"But it is precisely because of this that the environment of our village is still good in the entire Longze Town and even Shengn County. There is a three-kilometer-long, 400-meter-deep golden sand beach on the beach in front of the door, and there is also a crystal clear water, which is much more beautiful than the polluted beaches in the town. ”
