Chapter 625: Merchant
"Cadre Zhang, my leg is healed! It doesn't hurt at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Some of the old problems with info also seem to be completely healed. The medicine you gave was so effective. It's been really hard for Chuangui this kid over the years, I have bad legs and feet, and he brought back buckets of water from the mountains to drink at home. Other people's children can play happily, but my family heirloom has to do work that adults can't bear. Many times when I went to fetch water, I rolled down the hill from the mountain......" Gu Yongyi said here, and couldn't help but cry.
"Grandpa, I've grown up, and I'll have to take care of grandpa in the future. Gu Chuangui said.
Zhang Zhaohua smiled: "Chuangui, now that grandpa's leg is better, are you happy?"
Gu Chuangui nodded vigorously: "Happy, of course happy, thank you, Uncle Zhang." ”
"Cadre Zhang, how did such a good person as you come to our poor ravine? In our situation here, no one can get rid of poverty, and our Yingpan Village will drag you down in the future. Gu Yongyi's face was worried.
"Old man, don't say that. Since I am here, I will do everything in my power to make Yingpan Village slowly better. When I first arrived in your place, I was not familiar with the place, and I would have to rely on the support of the villagers in the future. Zhang Zhaohua said.
"Don't worry, you have helped me so much, and I will do my best to persuade the whole village to follow you. Gu Yongyi said.
"Old man, don't worry, the biggest problem in Yingpan Village is the water problem, as long as the water problem is solved, the remaining problems will be solved. Zhang Zhaohua said.
"But it's the problem of water!" Gu Yongyi shook his head.
"I'm going to figure it out. Zhang Zhaohua said.
Gu Yongyi said excitedly: "If we can solve the water problem, all problems will be solved." There are more than 2,000 acres of rice fields in our village, and if we can grow rice, the annual output will be enough for the whole village to eat for many years. Where will there be no food? It's all about lack of water. Now some paddy fields are turning into saline land quickly. ”
"If there is water for irrigation, how many paddy fields can be planted?" Zhang asked.
"At least there are thousands of acres of land. Gu Yongyi thought for a while before saying.
"That means more than half of it can be rehabilitated. Zhang Zhaohua calculated that it was 1,000 mu, and the yield was also very impressive.
Zhang Zhaohua knew that although the source of saline and alkali had been blocked, there was still a lot of work to be done to completely control the saline left by saline. The water in the small reservoir is drained, and then the salt layer that has soaked the soil is removed. This project is not small, and with the manpower of Yingpan Village now, there is no way to complete it. Although I haven't walked around the village properly, I can see that there are almost only old people and children left in the village. Young people haven't seen it at all.
At this time, a horn sounded at the entrance of the village.
"Collect medicinal herbs, collect medicinal herbs. ”
The horn repeated the same cry over and over again.
"What is this for?" asked Zhang Zhaohua curiously.
Gu Chuangui hurriedly said: "This is to collect medicinal materials in our village." The people in the village are short of water and cannot grow land, so they can only rely on digging medicinal herbs in the mountains to support their families. I also dug up some herbs, I'll go back and get some herbs. ”
Gu Chuangui ran away, Gu Yongyi smiled: "This kid, every time he comes to collect medicinal herbs, he is very happy. ”
"Old man, ask something you shouldn't ask. What about your father?" asked Zhang Zhaohua.
"Well, I knew you were going to ask me this sooner or later. I've been hiding this from you. It is rumored that your father had an accident a few years ago. Working outside as a construction worker, the shelf collapsed, fell off the shelf, and was gone at that time. After the noble lady went to calculate the compensation, she did not come back. Later, I went to her mother's house to ask, and I heard that she was married. I didn't dare to tell the child that his father was dead and his mother didn't want him anymore. Tell me, how can such a good child be so pitiful?" Gu Yongyi sighed, his eyes full of despair.
Zhang Zhaohua didn't make a sound, but she didn't expect Gu Chuangui to be so pitiful.
"Old man, don't think too much about the past. I'll go to the entrance of the village first. Zhang Zhaohua walked over to the sound of the horn.
"Don't worry. Hold your horses. Come one by one. I'll ask for your herbs anyway. As long as there is no problem with the condition, I will always give a high price. "The dealer who came to the village to collect medicinal herbs was called Tao Chunhe.
When Zhang Zhaohua walked to the entrance of the village, people from the village came over one after another, and there were several young people in their thirties. This made Zhang Zhaohua very surprised. At first, he really thought that all the young and strong laborers in the village had gone out to work, but he didn't expect that six would come out.
This situation was very unexpected by Zhang Zhaohua, these guys usually don't come out much. They are nested at home at a young age, digging up such a little herb to support their family, how can they have much income?
Gu Baishui, the village party secretary, also walked over with a bamboo basket on his back, which was also filled with various medicinal herbs. Seeing Zhang Zhaohua, she hurriedly said hello.
"Xiao Zhang, are you here too? This guy's name is Tao Chunhe, and the medicinal materials in our village are all purchased by him. Otherwise, where would the villagers have a way to make money? It's just that the price he charges is a little low. Gu Baishui was helpless, he couldn't blow Tao Chunhe away. If he dared to drive Tao Chunhe away, the medicine pickers in the village who couldn't sell the medicinal herbs would have to peel Gu Baishui's skin.
Zhang Zhaohua knew that these wild medicinal materials were treasures in the city, and the price was not known to be much higher than the price of medicinal materials collected by Tao Chunhe from the villagers.
Yingpan Village has dense mountains and forests and abundant wild resources, but such a frenzied request from nature will inevitably cause a lot of problems in the end. Zhang Zhaohua had some thoughts in her heart.
"No, the price of this kind of angelica was much higher last time, why did the price drop again this time?" someone in the crowd burst out.
"Didn't I tell you? Don't collect more and more prices, how do you start talking about different content here? If the price is fixed, won't I lose money? You can sell if you like to sell, and you don't like to sell and pull down. I won't be here anymore. Find someone to buy your herbs. Tao Chunhe was not a little afraid.
"Brother Chunhe, why are you blocking such a big breath and doing something? Gu Baishui hurriedly walked over to persuade.
"No, no, the people in your Yingpan Village are too powerful. I don't dare come to you anymore. "Tao Chunhe naturally doesn't want to leave here, coming here to collect medicinal herbs is very profitable, how can he be willing to give up so easily?
"If you don't come, I'll find someone else!" Zhang Zhaohua said as he stepped forward.
When Tao Chunhe heard that it was a foreign accent, he thought that Zhang Zhaohua was a hard stubble from other places, and immediately said vigilantly: "What are you going to do? Don't you know the rules? ”
"Occupied?" Zhang Zhaohua was puzzled. He still didn't understand the situation here.
