When he got home, Xu Yang washed his hands and fell asleep.
The next day, there was a three-pole competition on the day. Only then did Xu Yang shake his head, which was still a little dizzy, and got up.
"Looks like you have to be careful in the future. Drinking too much wine can be really uncomfortable."
Xu Yang smiled helplessly.
"Yangzi, you're up. Go wash up and eat some porridge."
Seeing Xu Yang coming down, Lin Xiuhan hurriedly greeted her son to eat.
"Mom, who owns that uncultivated land on Jinshan Ao?"
Xu Yang asked after taking a sip of rice porridge and chewing pickles.
"That piece of land belongs to several families, because it's in the mountains and almost no one is farming anymore. What do you think?"
Lin Xiuhan looked at her son who was sitting at the dining table eating, and asked strangely.
"Mom, our batch of vegetables has been sold. It turns out that the seeds I brought back are indeed very good."
"And I also signed a contract with Xu Liming, the owner of the Wenshui Resort Hotel. I rented his reservoir to raise fish at a rent of 300,000 yuan a year, and I used vegetables and fish to deduct the rent."
Xu Yang released another piece of news, which surprised Lin Xiuhan.
She never expected that in just one day, her son would have negotiated such a big deal.
"So you are going to rent that field to grow vegetables?" Lin Xiuhan suddenly realized.
"Yes, the vegetables I grow are brand new varieties, and Xu Liming welcomes them very much. He also proposed using vegetables and fish to deduct the rent of the reservoir."
Xu Yang simply confessed.
"In this case, I will help you make an appointment with the owners of those lands. You can discuss the specific matters with them. These mothers don't understand anyway."
Lin Xiuhan thought for a moment and felt that this was the only place where she could help her son.
"Well, then please inform them to come to the village committee as soon as possible. I will also invite the leaders of the village committee to discuss leasing other land in the village."
Xu Yang drank the last mouthful of porridge and asked Lin Xiuhan to notify other landowners, while he went to the village committee to meet with the village leaders first.
After talking to the village leader, Xu Yang was stunned.
Because the current law stipulates that arable land must not be left uncultivated, and a large number of young people in my village have gone abroad or to other places. Due to the lack of young labor force, a large amount of mountainous land is deserted. Many families pay people to farm the land.
, so for renting mountainous land in the village, we even get a discount of 200 yuan per mu.
In terms of national policies, agriculture is also strongly supported, and farmers can receive subsidies from the state every year.
"This is too incredible!" Xu Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
But the vegetables you grow are sold at a high price. Once you make money using other people's fields for free, some people are bound to be jealous. Even though there are contract terms to restrain them, the neighbors will make a fuss and treat everyone.
Not pretty.
Therefore, Xu Yang decided to give him some money as compensation to silence them first. Upon learning that Xu Yang wanted to rent land, the land-owning villagers quickly gathered at the village committee.
Finally, it was negotiated that there were nearly 200 acres of terraced fields in Jinshan'ao, which were rented to Xu Yang at a price of 1,000 yuan per acre per year, which cost 200,000 yuan a year. This price was already much higher than the rent in ordinary mountainous areas.
"Ayang, you only want the terraced fields on the mountain? The land beside the stream is more fertile and convenient for planting! I only want 1,200 yuan per acre."
"Yes, yes! We also have land over there. Ah Yang, you can rent our land as well. The traffic there is smoother, and cars can drive directly to the beach."
Those owners who had fields by the creek immediately thought of their own land by the creek when they saw that other people's land on the mountains had been rented out.
Xu Yang frowned when he heard this. Why did these villagers treat him like a sheep and slaughter him?
Xu Yang had not considered the land beside the creek. But there was a brick kiln there, which produced a large amount of dust every day, which was extremely detrimental to the growth of vegetables. People had to dare to harvest the vegetables grown in this environment.
Ah. At least Xu Yang would not dare to sell vegetables grown in such a place to Xu Liming.
"Ho, ho! Everyone knows that the dust beside the creek beach is relatively large and is not suitable for growing vegetables. A Yang wants to grow new types of vegetables, so we can't cheat him!"
Seeing that the scene was chaotic and Xu Yang refused to express his position, the village party secretary had no choice but to cough twice and come out to smooth things over.
When the outsider came to Xiaolin Village to rent land to build a brick kiln, the contract stated that in addition to the annual rent of 500,000 yuan, he would also be responsible for arranging the remaining labor force in Xiaolin Village.
The rent was okay, but later on, in order to reduce wages, the brick kiln owner hired a large number of cheap migrant workers, which made it impossible for the villagers in the village to increase their wages. Many villagers would rather stay at home idle.
"Everyone knows that I have signed a contract with the Wenshui Resort Hotel. If the vegetables are not up to standard, I will have to pay double the amount of money, and the creek beach is really not suitable for growing my vegetables."
"However, I can hire people in the village to help me plant and take care of the vegetables. Also, I have rented a reservoir, which also requires manpower to take care of the cultivation, which costs 80 yuan per person per day." Xu Yang proposed a compromise.
"Ayang, do you really get a salary of 80 yuan a day?"
"Yeah! It's much more cost-effective than going to work in a brick kiln. It only costs 50 yuan in a brick kiln. It's exhausting and you have to look at the face of that foreigner."
After hearing what Xu Yang said, the villagers started talking a lot.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. Because I grow purely natural green vegetables, I don't use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We must keep this in mind and we must not violate our conscience."
Xu Yang waved his hand, asking everyone to stop, and put forward his own conditions.
"That's natural. Don't worry, Ayang. We won't do anything with bad conscience."
"Yes! Yes! Ayang, when can we start work!"
The villagers asked again and again.
"Well, if possible, we will go to the fields starting tomorrow, and the water in the reservoir must be released first to get rid of all the fish inside, because I want to raise new species of fish, and I can't do anything like looking at the fish."
"Anyone who has experience in fish farming or is willing to farm should register with the party secretary and village chief respectively. Although we are neighbors in the same village, we still have to set rules and sign work contracts, which also affects everyone's
Welfare."
Xu Yang was afraid that any disputes would arise in the future that would affect his relationship with the villagers, so he decided to set some rules and regulations first, spell them out in the form of a contract, and explain them clearly to the villagers.
But he didn't expect that there were many people willing to work for him. Xu Yang selected some suitable people among them, and the remaining village committee leaders helped to decline.
What happened next was not simple. The village accountant typed out the contract at the village committee on the spot. Xu Yang first signed a terraced field rental contract with the villagers, and then signed a work contract with the villagers who were willing to help him.
After everything was done, the villagers left the village committee building one after another, talking among themselves as they walked.
"Ayang, I'm making you laugh. Young people have gone out these years, and the remaining middle-aged and elderly people who have nothing to do at home don't have high incomes. That's why everyone was so rude just now. Don't be surprised."
"It's also my fault that our village committee didn't see clearly the faces of the people in the kiln factory. They took advantage of them. Not only did they not help the villagers increase their income, they also polluted the environment of the village. I really regret it!"
The old party secretary looked remorseful.
"Secretary of the Party Committee, the kiln factory has damaged the environment of our village. Didn't you appeal?"
Xu Yang asked puzzledly.
“When we saw that the kiln factory had polluted the creek in the village, we immediately discussed with them and asked them to make rectifications, otherwise we would file a lawsuit. They promised very well, but there has been no improvement.
We were so angry that we went to court. Unexpectedly, we got into even bigger trouble. The kiln factory owners hired some gangsters to come to the village every three days to cause trouble. When the police came, they ran away. They also warned us that if
If we appeal again, all our villagers will lose their jobs.
We were miserable, and in the end we had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow this bitter pill. Fortunately, the lease term is only 10 years, so we all decided to bite the bullet and endure it!"
When the old party secretary said this, his face looked sad.
"These gangsters, one day, I will let them get out of our village. Party Secretary, I will try my best to find ways to improve the land beside the stream, so that the villagers can earn more. The land there is really a bit uncultivated.
What a pity.”
Xu Yang wanted to help, but now others were speaking softly, and those kiln owners must have strong backers. He was afraid that he would not be able to drive away those kiln owners, and would cause even greater trouble, so he decided to take it slow.
