Chapter 24: Swap fertile fields for barren mountains (2)
It won't take long for anything to happen in Zhaojiatun to spread. Laiwang's exchange of fertile farmland for barren hills was soon known to the people in the village.
People in the village knew about this, and they all had different opinions on the matter. Some people said that Laiwang was a prodigal, and he casually exchanged a few acres of fertile land for barren hills. It was the same as Zhao Laocai, the landowner in the village in the past. In the past, Zhao Laocai
All the land and land belonged to Zhao Laocai's family, but Zhao Laocai was a prodigal and loved to gamble. He lost all the family land to the slanderer Zhao Sangou in the village. Before liberation, he became a poor and lower-middle peasant. After liberation, he attacked the local tycoons.
At that time, Zhao Sangou was tortured to death, but Zhao Laocai became the master. Zhao Laocai did not dare to gamble anymore, and lived peacefully to the age of ninety. He died a few years ago. But the story has been circulating in Zhaojiatun.
.
Some people say that Lai Wang was drunk by Secretary Zhao, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing. The barren hills around the mountain temple cannot even grow masson pine trees, let alone fruit trees. The fertile land will be used in exchange for
Such a barren mountain is like water to the head.
Some people also say that Lai Wang was possessed by ghosts. The big green wolf Yulong saw yesterday morning was a wolf spirit. Lai Wang was possessed by the wolf spirit and wanted to protect the treasure land in that area for the wolf spirit. It is said that the area around the mountain temple,
Legend has it that it was a wolf den in the past. A big green wolf was cultivated into a spirit. Later, the ancestors of the Zhao family built a mountain temple there to suppress the wolf spirit. But now the mountain temple has fallen into decline and cannot suppress the spirit of the wolf spirit, so it comes out to do it again.
Strange. People still have solid evidence for this. It is said that when I entered the temple yesterday, I saw that the shell of the mountain god statue had peeled off, and there was no trace of its light anymore.
He Biqing heard about this and found Lai Wang who was going through the formalities with Zhao Shengcai.
"Lai Wang, Lai Wang. Come here first. My sister-in-law wants to ask you something." He Biqing ignored Zhao Shengcai's ever-changing expression and called Lai Wang aside.
"Sister-in-law Qing, what's the matter?" Lai Wang said with a smile. He had a rough idea of He Biqing's intention.
"Are you stupid? With such good fertile land, why are you going to exchange it with Zhao Dazi for barren hills? You can't even grow a bird in those barren hills, so what's the use of it? Go and tell Zhao Shengcai that we won't trade it anymore." He Biqing
said.
"Sister-in-law Qing, please don't worry about this. I've thought about it in advance. I'll go to your house to explain to you later. Maybe I'll even recruit sister-in-law Qing to join us," Lai Wang said.
"You silly boy, do you have any good ideas? Nowadays, an acre of fertile land can be rented out for a few hundred yuan per acre. Someone in my family has a vineyard, and the rent for an acre of land is 500 yuan per acre. It is said that no one is doing it today.
Yes, the rent will have to be increased to 600. Your four or five acres of land are still fertile farmland. If you want the barren hills, just take it. Who will stop it?" He Biqing said.
"This is different. Now these barren hills have become my foundation and private land. Once the procedures are completed, the village will have no reason to charge me for fees in the future. These few acres of land are of little use to me. The situation in our Zhaojiatun,
You also know that these acres of land are given to others for planting, and no one may want them. People don’t want to hand over the land, mainly because they think they may have the opportunity to receive compensation from the government in the future. I used it in exchange for such a big place.
It’s also very cost-effective,” Lai Wang said.
"Have you really thought about it clearly? What are you using that place for?" He Biqing said with a hint of doubt.
"Just wait and see. I'm not confused this time." Lai Wang smiled and walked in again, "Uncle Shengcai, let's hurry up and complete the procedures!"
"Okay. Laiwang. Let's make it clear that you voluntarily withdraw from these acres of fertile land. These barren hills will be your private land from now on. As long as the policies above are not changed, these barren hills will belong to you. If you come here in the future,
It was collected by the state, and all the collected money came from you." Zhao Shengcai said very loudly, but in fact he was speaking to He Biqing.
He Biqing shook her head. She still didn't understand why Lai Wang would do this. But after all, Lai Wang was just a cousin who was not very close, so she couldn't control him too much. Otherwise, gossiping would not be pleasant.
The village cadre who went through the formalities together laughed and said, "If you want to wait for expropriation of that place, you will probably have to wait for the next life."
The area around Shanshen Temple is extremely remote, and there is no possibility of building highways, railways, or the like, and there is no possibility of establishing an economic development zone. In the past, some people wanted to build a chemical plant, but they were driven away by the people of Zhaojiatun.
"Lai Wang, what do you want to do with that barren mountain? Didn't you discover a gold mine there and want to secretly pan for gold alone?" someone else asked.
"Next time I dig for gold, you will come too, and whatever you dig will be yours. But I won't pay for it," Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Hey, Lai Wang is now shrewd. Did he become enlightened after being struck by lightning? He actually kept his mouth shut so tightly. What's the big deal? I understand even if you don't tell me. You want to set up a breeding farm, right?"
Everyone is not stupid. There are really no other possibilities in that place besides setting up a breeding farm.
Lai Wang just smiled and said nothing.
"Lai Wang, let me tell you, you'd better not think about breeding, otherwise you will lose money and not even have to wear underwear." Another villager next to him said.
"Why?" Lai Wang asked casually.
"No need to ask? What are you most afraid of when raising chickens and ducks? Wong Tai Sin. Although we have seen this guy here in the village in recent years, but the mountain temple is connected to the Xingzi Mountain, how can those things be missing there? Raising
The purpose of raising chickens and ducks is to provide food to these guys. In addition, nothing can be grown in that barren mountain, so all the food for raising chickens and ducks has to be bought. There is no profit." There are only a few ways to make money in this rural area, so early on
These people who have dug their brains out think clearly, and their analysis is also logical.
"Lai Wang, do you really want to engage in breeding?" Zhao Shengcai said something inconsiderate to save face.
"I have this plan, but it hasn't been decided yet. Anyway, I haven't started working on it yet. Let's take a look first. When the procedures are completed, I will think about it again," Lai Wang said.
"Okay." Zhao Shengcai picked up the printer from Yidushui Village and stamped it on the black and white paper. The procedure was completed.
"The procedures in the village are almost complete. But after the New Year, you still have to go to the town to report. It's not a big problem. The barren hill was originally the village's public land, and it was wasteland." Zhao Shengcai signed a few documents and stamped them.
Hao Zhangzi's contract was handed over to Lai Wang.
In addition, there are also applications for building a house in Wangjia. Murakami cannot apply for a building certificate now. You have to go to the land and resources office in the town to get it. However, generally, as long as Murakami provides proof materials, it can be approved.
"You want to start raising wild animals?" He Biqing was even more surprised than when he heard that Lai Wang exchanged fertile farmland for barren hills.
"It's not all wild beasts. I want to see if I can tame elk or something like that. If I can, it should be better than working hard outside." Lai Wang said.
"But, how can you do a good job if you have no skills at all? You need to apply for a license to raise wild animals, and certain conditions must be met before you can be approved. Where do you get the money to invest?" He Biqing asked.
Lai Wang scratched his head, "If the relief money is approved, I will first repair the infrastructure of the breeding farm, which shouldn't cost much. Anyway, it is near the mountain temple, and I will continue to live there for the time being. I will wait for breeding in the future.
After making money from the market, we can then build the house."
"That's it. I guess the relief money won't be enough. Besides, you still have to apply for a certificate. It also costs money." He Biqing said.
"How about we do it together?" Lai Wang said. This is true. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. If you don't recognize them, you don't know what to think.
He Biqing glanced at Lai Wang and said, "Partnership?"
He Biqing was very hesitant. When it came to money, she did have it. Although she spent a lot on treatment before Laixi's death, the factory in Guangdong later lost money. In addition, when Laixi worked in the past, she also made a lot of money.
Less. But this amount of money is He Biqing's only source of living now. Although He Biqing is not old, it is too early to talk about retirement. He is young and wants to live a new life when he meets the right person.
But He Biqing was very hesitant to ask He Biqing to invest in a partnership with Lai Wang. He Biqing had a good impression of Lai Wang, but only because he was not a bad person. But He Biqing agreed with this guy's turmoil. Take this
For example, exchanging fertile farmland for barren hills would not be possible if one were not a prodigal to become prosperous.
"I know. I was not sensible before and was not practical in doing things. But now I really want to do something in my career. I also know that this matter is very risky. If you are not willing, sister-in-law Qing, then forget it. I
Think of another way." Lai Wang said.
"Find a way? How do you think of a way? It costs a lot of money to build a breeding farm. Someone in my family set up a pig farm, and the investment was five to six million. If you want to breed wild beasts, no matter what you do, you still need one or two.
One hundred thousand, right? Not to mention anything else, if you want to build a road, you have to build a rough road from the entrance of the village up the mountain. It covers several miles of land. Even if you just level out an adobe road, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan, right? Fortunately, the forest farm is there.
There is a mechanical plowing road. Just take it and you'll be good to go." He Biqing gave Lai Wang some calculations, and Lai Wang was immediately stunned. This was really something he couldn't achieve.
"It really doesn't work. I'll think of another way. Anyway, I've made up my mind on this matter. By the way, Sister-in-law Qing, I shot a wild boar yesterday, and I'll give you a dime to try someday," Lai Wang said.
"Don't rush this matter. I'll think about it carefully," He Biqing said.
Lai Wang was thinking about something and sat here with He Biqing for a while before leaving. When he walked out of the yard, He Biqing chased after him again.
"Lai Wang, tell your sister-in-law, are you really determined to start a career?" He Biqing asked seriously, as if he had to make an important decision. The answer to this decision depends entirely on Lai Wang's answer.
