Early the next morning, Gu Yun drove Zhong Leyi for a whole day, looking for suitable land.
The result was exactly as Gu Youwei said. The land most suitable for building a ski resort was indeed the land in the mountainous areas of central and western China that he said was the most suitable.
But when Gu Yun drove near the mountainous area in the western part of Liaocheng City, he discovered a surprising sight.
Having lived in the city for a long time, this was the first time for him to come near this land along the national highway, just like Tao Yuanming arrived at the Peach Blossom Spring for the first time by boat.
On the way to the mountains along the national highway, villas pop up from time to time on the mountainside on both sides of the highway.
Most of these elegant and elegant villas are single-family buildings with two to three floors, either scattered or in clusters. They were built by stripping down mountains and clearing forests, moving rocks, digging high places and filling in low places.
Those villas are located in a high position, facing the main road of the village, and are incompatible with the snow-capped mountains, continuous beautiful scenery and rows of farmhouses behind them.
Superior authorities and the city have clear regulations to strictly control the westward migration of the urban population and strictly restrict various development and construction activities in the western mountainous areas.
However, these regulations seem to be just slogans and have no effect at the grassroots level.
The tall mountain is shaved into a "yin and yang head": one side is a gentle slope formed by large-scale excavation, and the other side is dense forest growth.
Looking around, there are many villas in a trapezoid shape stretching from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. From a distance, they can be seen in rows and rows. After the surrounding mountains have been "bone-cut and cramped", if they are not covered by many days of heavy snow, you can still see the broken cliffs.
, exposed rocks.
"This should be the most suitable place to build a ski resort."
Gu Yun got out of the car, looked around, closed his eyes for a while and felt the wind blowing in his face.
Indeed, the temperature, humidity, wind and slope here are all perfect. If a large-scale ski resort can be built in this area, it can definitely become a business card of Liaocheng.
"How can we build this? There are so many villas nearby, how can people agree to it?"
After calling it a drive, Zhong Leyi knew very well that her boyfriend was following the map after going around the southeast, northwest, and northwest with Gu Yun.
What was originally said casually is taken as a serious matter, which in itself is regarded as a treasure and a sign of being valued.
Zhong Leyi felt warm in her heart. She was also a reasonable girl: "Forget it, other places are not suitable. The only suitable places are already occupied by people. Building a ski resort will affect people's daily lives. Let's go skiing in other cities.
It’s the same thing.”
A kind-hearted girl always thinks of others before doing things.
"Uncle, why do you have so many villas here? Are they all lived in by people from our village?"
Feeling thirsty after walking, Gu Yun and Zhong Leyi went to a nearby small store to buy water. At the door sat an old man with his legs crossed and smoking a cigarette. When paying, Gu Yun asked.
"What a handful! How can people in our village have the money to build big villas? They are all rich people and retired leaders. Damn it."
The old man curled his lips in disdain and took a deep breath of smoke into his lungs, as if he was mocking the young man's ignorance.
Gu Yun and Zhong Leyi looked at each other. One was a veteran who had been in the officialdom and was familiar with the rules and regulations, and the other was a new lawyer who was proficient in law and had been exposed to countless lawsuits in the court.
At the same time, a document came to their mind that stipulates that "farmers' houses shall not be sold to urban residents, nor shall urban residents be approved to occupy farmers' collective land to build houses. Relevant departments shall not issue land use certificates for houses built or purchased illegally."
Anyone with basic common sense knows that those who have the strength to build a villa in this place must be rich or noble.
Due to terrain conditions, most villas in western mountainous areas require cutting hillsides, filling ditches, and building slope protection. Looking at it from a glance, some villas often need to be built with a kilometer or two of winding roads.
This supporting facility alone will cost a lot of money.
After a brief chat with the old man, Gu Yun basically got the information he wanted.
These urbanites go to the western mountainous areas to buy and rent land under various names. There are a small number of farmers' homesteads in these plots, mainly mountain forest land, orchard land and cultivated land.
The most egregious thing is that some of the villas built by city dwellers were built right under the noses of local government departments. Not only did district law enforcement officers come to inspect them, but people from the city also came to the mountains to investigate, and some inspected them all.
Three or four times, but they were all "legal" on the surface.
The old man also said that the villas that have been demolished in the western mountainous area over the years are just the "tip of the iceberg" of illegally built villas, and a large number of villas have been cleared.
Even if the inventory operation comes, everyone will find that the demolition objects are basically illegally built bungalows, factories and temporary farmhouses, breeding houses, factory-style greenhouses, etc. There are very few illegally built villas included in the demolition ledger.
While powerful city dwellers were repeatedly prohibited from building illegal villas, some local village cadres and villagers who had become rich followed suit and dug up mountains and felled trees to build villas, which became a trend.
On the other side of the western mountainous area, villas built by some villagers often occupy an area of four or five acres, with a building area of thousands of square meters. Many of the villas are built with painted beams and cornices, just like palaces.
Some even build four or five luxury villas by one person, enclosing many forests into the villa courtyard.
Who hasn’t dreamed of living in seclusion?
On the one hand, the idea of living in a paradise is only in a dream. On the other hand, having your own independent territory in a sparsely populated place is also convenient for entertainment, business, and exchange of interests.
Wearing a villa coat, underneath is probably a renovated private club, and the water inside is quite deep.
"I have encountered many cases like this in the Administrative Tribunal. The reason was administrative prosecution for villa demolition. When faced with illegal construction, Jiangcheng dealt with it very decisively. It directly forcibly demolished it in accordance with regulations. Even if it appeals, there is a legal basis."
After getting back in the car, the two set off on their way back to the city.
On the way, Zhong Leyi and Gu Yun talked about the different endings of illegal villas.
Illegal construction can be found everywhere, so why do my hometown and Jiangcheng deal with it differently?
"It's normal. Liaocheng is a small place and the relations are complicated. Law enforcement is indeed not as strong and determined as in provincial capital cities. It is common that it cannot be demolished."
Gu Yun replied casually.
Not to mention Liaocheng, a fourth- and fifth-tier city, even the provincial capital city where the Qinling villa complex will be located in the future is still shouting slogans and only issuing documents without any real effort.
"However, when faced with illegal activities involving either wealth or wealth, shouldn't we have the courage to scrape our bones and heal our wounds?"
Facing Zhong Leyi's clear eyes, Gu Yun unexpectedly discovered that after his new life, he was not as clear-eyed as the girl on this simple issue.
Yes, if something is wrong, it is wrong. Why should we find reasons for errors?
Are the so-called celebrities from all walks of life, retired cadres, entrepreneurs, rich people and people with connections illegally occupying mountains, forests, water and soil, and illegal construction cannot be demolished?
