Chapter 664: Capitalist

With Mr. Zhang's statement, the doubts of the surrounding masses gradually subsided, and were replaced by admiration and envy for Su Ye and Li Dazhuang. They sighed: "It's not easy to look at people, not only to change the fate of the village, but also to attract the attention of capital!"

In the following days, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang came into contact with more investors and enterprises under the recommendation of Mr. Zhang. While carefully selecting partners, they are actively preparing for a new round of rural reform plans. And after learning the news, the villagers are also gearing up, looking forward to the upcoming changes.

At a meeting of the village committee, Su Ye announced to the crowd: "We have reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several socially responsible enterprises to invest in the construction of modern agricultural facilities, introduce advanced planting technology, and help us build a brand of special agricultural products. In addition, a skills training centre will be set up to enhance the employability skills of villagers."

When the villagers heard this, their excitement was palpable. An old farmer said excitedly, "Su Ye, Da Zhuang, you are really the savior of our village! With these investments, my family's few acres of land can catch up with the trend of the times."

However, the path to reform has not been easy. When construction began on modern agricultural facilities, some villagers were reluctant to change their traditional farming methods. A middle-aged man wandered in front of the construction site and complained to the workers: "How can these cold machines be as kind as the plough rakes that have been handed down from our ancestors for generations? Are you trying to turn us into city people?"

In the face of doubts, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang did not rush to refute, but chose to listen and explain. Su Ye walked up to the middle-aged man and said gently, "Big brother, we have introduced modern agriculture not to deprive you of your traditions, but to make the land more valuable, so that the villagers can farm more easily and earn more. You see, these new devices are easy to operate and can also apply fertilizer and irrigation with precision, reducing environmental damage. Give it a try, and maybe you'll find that they're not as cold as you think."

Under the patient persuasion of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, more and more villagers began to accept and participate in the new agricultural model. While learning new technologies, they sighed, "It turns out that farming can be so high-tech, it seems that we are really backward."

At the same time, breakthroughs have also been made in building the brand of special agricultural products. A dried fruit product made from the local specialty "Golden Silk Dates", with its unique taste and exquisite packaging, quickly opened up in the market, and orders poured in.

On an e-commerce platform, a food blogger strongly recommended this dried fruit in a live broadcast: "Look, this is the dried golden silk date fruit from the village led by Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, which has a mellow taste, sweet but not greasy, and full of the taste of nature. It is said that every pack you buy can contribute to the improvement of the lives of the villagers, so come and place an order to support!"

At the bottom of the screen, netizens' messages scrolled like a tide: "Support rural revitalization, praise Su Ye and Li Dazhuang!" "Buy it! If you can satisfy your appetite and do good deeds, why not?"

Watching the sales data soar, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of a sense of accomplishment. However, they know that this is only a small step on the long march of rural revitalization, and there is a broader world waiting for them to open up.

"Su Ye, you said, if we develop the tourism resources in the village and attract more urban people to experience the rural life, will it bring more benefits to the villagers?" Li Dazhuang looked at the green mountains and green waters in the distance, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Su Ye nodded, his eyes also flashing with wisdom: "Da Zhuang, your idea is very good. Rural tourism can not only promote the development of accommodation, catering and other industries, but also allow more people to understand and participate in rural construction. We can start by planning some farming experience activities, such as picking festivals, rice field concerts, etc., to gradually become popular."

"Okay, then do it!" Li Dazhuang slapped his thigh and was full of pride, "Let our village not only make a name for itself in the agricultural market, but also in the rural tourism industry!"

When night falls, the village lights up like stars falling into the world. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat in the small courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, their hearts full of longing and determination for the future.

"Su Ye, what do you say, what will our village become in the future?" Li Dazhuang held Su Ye's hand,

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Su Ye turned his head to look at him, his eyes flashing with incomparable firmness: "Da Zhuang, as long as we don't forget our original intention and persist in reform, our village will definitely become more beautiful and rich, and the lives of the villagers will become better and better. And all this is inseparable from everyone's efforts and dedication. So, no matter what challenges lie ahead, we must work together to create a bright future that belongs to us."

"Well, you're right." Li Dazhuang nodded vigorously, his eyes also flashed with expectation and determination, "For the sake of the villagers and our village, we will definitely do our best to make our dreams come true."

At night, the stars shine brightly, as if to herald a brighter future for the village. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat side by side, full of fearlessness for unknown challenges, persistent pursuit of the well-being of the villagers, and deep love for the cause of rural revitalization.

With the construction of modern agricultural facilities on the right track, the villagers gradually adapted to the efficiency and convenience brought by the new technology under the guidance of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, the golden wheat fields shine in the sun, drones spray pesticides in the air, and the vegetables and fruits in the smart greenhouse are full of vitality. Whenever a passer-by passes by, he can't help but stop and point to the new scene in the field in surprise.

"You see, drones are actually used in that field, which was unimaginable before!"

"Yes, I heard that it was introduced by Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, they really have a set."

"Of course, people have brought the village from poverty to the current situation, and even the investors in the city are impressed with them."

"That's right, now the dried golden silk dates and fruits in our village have become Internet celebrity items, and I can't even grab them on the Internet."

The villagers listened to the praise of passers-by, and their faces were full of pride and relief. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were in the field, working with technicians to study how to further improve crop yields and optimize planting patterns. They know that this is only part of rural revitalization, and the longer-term goal is to build a diversified industrial system and make the village economy more resilient.

"Su Ye, look at this orchard, if it is paired with sightseeing and picking, will it attract more tourists?" Li Dazhuang stood under a fruit tree full of red apples and asked expectantly.

"Da Zhuang, you have a good idea. We can create the concept of 'Four Seasons Orchard', where there are corresponding fruits for tourists to pick in each season, and at the same time, combine agricultural experience, pastoral homestay and other elements to form a complete rural tourism industry chain." Su Ye responded with a smile, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

After the news spread, the villagers were full of expectations for rural tourism and put forward their own suggestions. Lao Zhangtou proposed: "We can transform the abandoned old mill into a folk culture center, displaying traditional farming tools and handicrafts, so that the people in the city can see the heritage of our village."

Li Dazhuang nodded in agreement: "Lao Zhangtou is right, rural tourism is not only a display of natural scenery, but also a display of local culture, so that tourists can have a deeper understanding of the township

The history and humanity of the village."

With the active participation of the villagers, the rural tourism plan has gradually taken shape. Dilapidated houses have been transformed into unique homestays, and the old mill at the head of the village has been renovated as a window to showcase rural culture. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang also invited well-known designers to design a unified and local sign system for the village, so that the whole village can maintain the original ecology while adding a bit of modern art.

"Wow, this is a paradise!" A young couple walks into the village and marvels at the picturesque scenery in front of them.

"No, I heard that the B&Bs here are all renovated from old houses, which not only retain the simple charm, but also lose comfort." Another tourist chimed in.

With the official launch of the rural tourism project, the village has welcomed an endless stream of tourists. They wander the fields, pick fresh fruit and experience ancient farming cultures, and spend the evenings sitting around a campfire listening to the villagers tell stories about the village. The once quiet village is now full of laughter and laughter, presenting a picture of harmony and prosperity.

One day, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were receiving a group of inspection groups from other places in the B&B area, and a middle-aged lady walked over quickly.

Look nervous.

"Su Ye, Li Dazhuang, it's not good, the orchard at the head of the village has been destroyed!" The lady said breathlessly.

When the two heard this, their faces changed suddenly, and they immediately rushed to the scene. I saw that the orchard was in shambles, the fruit trees were cut down, and the fruits were scattered all over the ground, apparently someone deliberately did it. The villagers gathered around, all filled with righteous indignation.

"It's too much! This is what we have worked so hard to grow, how can we say that we will destroy it?" An old farmer asked angrily with tears in his eyes.

"Su Ye, Li Dazhuang, you must find out the murderer and give us an explanation!" Another villager clenched his fists and roared.

Faced with the anger and helplessness of the villagers, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were deeply saddened, and they understood that this was not only a destruction of the orchard, but also a challenge to the cohesion of the entire village. They reassured the villagers and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly and give everyone a fair answer.

Late at night, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat in the office, looking through the surveillance video, trying to find clues. Li Dazhuang frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "This technique is so ruthless, you can tell that you are prepared at a glance. Who are they? Why do you want to attack our village?"

Su Ye's gaze was firm: "No matter who the other party is or what the purpose is, we will not let them succeed. Tomorrow morning, we will call the police and mobilize the whole village to find the truth together."

The next day, the silence of the village was shattered by the sound of police car sirens, and villagers gathered at the entrance of the village to watch the police come in and out, and there was a lot of discussion.

"It's lawless! Our village has finally improved a little, and some people are jealous and want to destroy it."

"Su Ye and Li Dazhuang have paid so much for our village, and these people's consciences have been eaten by dogs?"

"Comrade policeman, you have to call the shots for us! The bad guys can't go unpunished!"

The police quickly launched an investigation, while Su Ye and Li Dazhuang mobilized the villagers to provide clues and at the same time strengthened patrols in the village. For a time, the whole village worked together to fight this sudden crisis.

A few days later, the police reported that the destruction of the orchard had been solved, and that the suspect, a villager who had a conflict with the village committee over a land dispute, took extreme measures to retaliate because of his grudge. Hearing the news, the villagers finally let go of their hanging hearts and praised the efficient work of the police.

"I'll just say, evil doesn't prevail over good, and the bad guys will be caught sooner or later." Lao Zhang patted his chest and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thanks to Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, they not only led us to get rich, but also stabilized their positions at critical moments, they are really the backbone of our village." Another villager sighed.

After experiencing this turmoil, the cohesion of the village is stronger, and the villagers are more united around Su Ye and Li Dazhuang to jointly protect this hard-won happy life. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang are even more convinced, they know that there is still a long way to go, and challenges still exist, but they are willing to continue to lead the villagers to overcome obstacles and write a glorious chapter of rural revitalization with perseverance.

"Su Ye, you say, what will happen to our village in the future?" Li Dazhuang looked at the starry sky outside the window, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Su Ye gently held his hand, and his eyes also flashed with determination: "Da Zhuang, as long as we work together, our village will definitely get better and better. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will face them together and overcome them together, because this is our home and our common dream."

In the night, the stars were shining, illuminating every corner of the village, and also illuminating the way forward for Su Ye and Li Dazhuang.

The villages under the leadership of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang are bathed in the spring breeze of rural revitalization, and projects such as orchards, homestays, and folk culture centers have been implemented one by one, rural tourism is in full swing, and the lives of villagers are thriving. However, just as everything was on track, a thunderbolt of news shocked the entire village - Li Dazhuang was missing.

That morning, Li Dazhuang woke up early as usual and prepared to go to the orchard to check the growth of the new season's apples. However, until the third pole of the sun, the villagers did not see him for a long time. Su Ye received a call from the villagers to inquire, and his heart tightened, and he immediately went to the orchard to look for it. I saw that the orchard door was open, and the tools were scattered on the ground, but there was no trace of Li Dazhuang.

"Big Strong

! Great!" Su Ye shouted anxiously, his voice echoing in the open field, but no one answered. She hurriedly contacted Li Dazhuang's mobile phone, only to hear the cold mechanical female voice repeating, "The phone you dialed has been turned off." An ominous premonition enveloped Su Ye's heart, and she forcibly held back the panic in her heart and quickly dialed the police.
