Chapter 8 Clearing the Wasteland

As soon as the words fell, the villagers all showed strange looks, and they exchanged their heads and ears, and there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard for a while.

Wang Shan saw that the fire was coming, struck while the iron was hot, and continued to finish speaking:

"I'll give this land to Xiaodong, don't be jealous! You've heard about the policy before, why didn't I see you come to my Wang Mountain to ask for land!

Since you don't come to ask for it, then I can only divide it! However, I promise that when the time comes, if you add a new child to the family and your children get married, if you have any piece of land that you like, you will come directly to the village committee to find me, and give priority to it! ”

At the end of his words, Wang Shan directly drained the wine in the wine glass in his hand, and then called Yan Ruohua, who was still blushing and staying there in a daze, to come over and sprinkle the wine. Then he sat down on crutches and sat down steadily.

After the words were finished, the village chief's family also finished sprinkling wine, Zhang Chunlei shouted for everyone to eat and drink, and at the same time took Zhang Xiaodong and Yan Ruohua to continue to sprinkle wine for the next family.

Although the banquet was still going on, the village chief's speech just now seemed to have thrown a heavy stone into the hearts of the villagers.

Some of them had a good appetite, but after listening to it, they didn't feel fragrant when they saw the meat. More of them made a face and whispered to each other with the people around them.

The treasure land below the North Mountain Pass?

Scold!

The people in the village, who doesn't know that it is a slope that has been abandoned for I don't know how many years!

In their poor mountain village, you can let the villagers do anything, but there is only one thing, everyone hides behind and is unwilling to do it, and that is to open up the wasteland!

Rich and poor are a circle, a vicious circle, a virtuous circle.

The poorer the place, the easier it is to be poorer. One is in the objective conditions, and the other is in the minds of people.

Although there is not much land for each family in the village, after so many years, the harvest is still passable, and at least they can eat enough, unlike when the older generation was starving due to a great famine.

For farmers in mountain villages who have the idea of a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy deep in their minds, it is enough to be fed! How many are willing to work hard to toss, to develop, to expand production, to earn more than a few cents of hard-earned money that there is no package ticket to play?

Clearing wasteland is not a pleasant thing to see.

In the place of Beishan Pass, not to mention the barren land, it is still on the tuyere, and it is not convenient to irrigate with a canal, and many places are still slopes. After so many years, if it is really a good place, can it be deserted until now?

Therefore, for the Pingtou people in Pinggu Village, even if they are poor and have a hard life, it is enough to keep the existing life. After all, it also requires a lot of cost to open up wasteland, and once it fails, it will be lost, even if the government has subsidies, everyone is not willing to take this risk.

And Wang Shan's words just now are also very intriguing.

It seems that he is announcing to the whole village that the largest piece of the field divided in this wasteland has been given to Zhang Xiaodong, which seems to be favoritism.

But when a discerning person hears it, he knows that this is killing a chicken to show a monkey.

The wasteland allocated above, in the final analysis, how to divide each family, the decision is not still in Wang Shan's hands. It is only in order to make the work more democratic, that the ideological work of the villagers will be done before.

Since everyone is subjectively unwilling to go, let's first take the fool Zhang Xiaodong as a demonstration. After all, how can a fool know so many doors, maybe he is really grateful for Wang Shan's favor in his heart.

And this "good" field, which is the largest in area, is also a hidden mystery. Mixed with other meanings!

This field seems to have seven or eight acres, but in fact, seventy or eighty percent of it is on sloping land, and no crops can be planted at all, and the remaining area on flat land can be said to be the smallest piece of all the fields that have been divided.

In this way, not only will the upper limit of the harvest of the fields in the future not be high, but according to the above regulations on the collection of agricultural taxes according to the average output of the fields, this tax is a large amount, and it can be seen to the naked eye that it is a loss-making transaction.

Some villagers couldn't figure out why Wang Shan wanted to give Zhang Xiaodong the most unfortunate piece of land, and those sitting at a table understood it in such a whisper.

Wang Shan's last sentence is to persuade those who add new Ding and marry a new daughter-in-law to take the initiative to take the responsibility of clearing the wasteland, and they can still pick a place, don't hide behind them as a turtle with a shrunken head, waiting for him Wang Shan to share.

Otherwise, when that time comes, the one who is divided by him will be like Zhang Xiaodong.

This hand is indeed extremely clever, and the villagers were unanimous in their mouths, saying that they would not take on the errand of clearing the wasteland. But Wang Shan deliberately divided the crowd in this way, and those who took the initiative could choose the place first, and the interior would no longer be monolithic.

But even if everyone understood Wang Shan's intentions and felt really annoyed, no one dared to openly stand up and say a few words.

In this mountain village, the village chief is really bigger.

"I was really sold before, and I have to help people count the money!"

Zhang Xiaodong sprinkled wine on other relatives and guests, while laughing at himself in his heart.

On this occasion in his previous life, he could hear too little information from these words, and he thought that the fourth uncle pleaded with the village chief to give him the new land he wanted, and he was grateful to the two of them.

However, it should be due to the influence of last night's incident that did not allow Wang Xu to succeed, but the land he was allocated in his previous life was not the same as it is now. Although it is still a wasteland, it is much larger than the area of crops that can be used in this field today.

Hehe, I'm afraid that in my previous life, because of Yan Ruohua's sacrifice, I got rid of the fate of being assigned to this slope.

In his previous life, the process of clearing the wasteland was too long and hard, and he was still a fool, only brute force, no method. Later, while learning cultural knowledge, he worked in the field, and it took him a year to reclaim the land. Until he left the mountain, the crops in his field were still growing vigorously.

But now, the worst result at present is that Zhang Xiaodong is very satisfied.

Zhang Xiaodong, who is familiar with the policy orientation of this mountain village in his previous life, understands that although the villagers still reject the expansion of wasteland reclamation, this is a huge opportunity for him.

Now that the fields are self-sufficient, why should new fields be cultivated and production expanded, and the immediate policies are linked to long-term government planning. Just think a little more and the answer is not hard to guess.

This demon field, although it is the worst piece in the eyes of others, is the most perfect in Zhang Xiaodong's heart. As for how to turn decay into magic and carry out your own liquidation plan step by step, you have to start from this "treasure land......

……

Although the process of sprinkling wine in the back was long, it was generally very smooth, but Yan Ruohua was busy.

Although the red envelopes brought by relatives are not thick, it is estimated that they are only five or ten yuan, but they are stuffed into Xiao Nizi's hands one by one, and she has to sprinkle wine on the side, which also makes her a little at a loss.

But every time he respects a family, Zhang Xiaodong can clearly feel that the eyes cast on the opposite side invariably contain several complex emotions.

On the one hand, he was sympathetic, and he sighed that he was a fool and did not offend the village chief, just because he was stupid, he was taken out as a sacrifice, and he actually became the first person in the village to be assigned to reclaim wasteland.

In vain, the village chief also officiated at his wedding before, and he looked like an uncle and nephew on a blind date in his words, but it turned out that he was a soldier first, and the big man was here.

And this stupid child's parents died early, and his step-uncle didn't love him, the village chief asked him to go to the wasteland, but his uncle not only stopped it, but also applauded. Even the money left by his parents was at most part of it to marry him a daughter-in-law, and the rest had nothing to do with Zhang Xiaodong.

On the other hand, I am glad that this worst field was given to the fool Zhang Xiaodong, anyway, he is a fool, no matter what is good, it will be the same wherever he is distributed.

As for the possibility that Zhang Xiaodong can plant this wasteland,

Oh, no one will believe it!

Therefore, another aspect of the mentality of people who have little friendship with the Zhang family is to watch the excitement. After all, the amount of fields divided from wasteland is not so much, and it cannot be distributed to every household, so everyone is still a little lucky.

And with such a piece of land, this fool and his daughter-in-law don't look like people who can work, see what he can toss into.

As long as the fool has a bad time, everyone will not feel that their life is so bitter.
