After hearing what Lin Shan said, Suga Ruoqing was obviously startled, and then asked with a surprised look: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Zijun blinked and reacted first, saying: "You mean, these monkeys will come again?"
Lin Shan nodded and said: "Yes, they have eaten good food here, and they will definitely come again in the future. We can't stand it at all."
"Then... what should we do? Is there nothing we can do?" Suga Ruoqing nodded suddenly and asked.
Lin Shan shrugged helplessly and said: "I have no choice but to let them eat. It's impossible to guard here all day long, and even if I guard, I can't guard it. I just looked at those footprints, it's obvious
Not a monkey…”
"Monkeys are more naughty than children. You can watch one, but you can't watch a group. It seems to be really troublesome." After hearing this, Zhang Zijun nodded in agreement and said.
Suga Ruoqing said with a bitter face: "Then the fruits we have here can only be fed to monkeys?"
Lin Shan also smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can't drive it away, and we can't kill it. Even building a fence won't work. Monkeys are the best at climbing."
"I don't believe there's no other way! Let's go and have breakfast first. You'll have business to do later." Suga Ruoqing pondered for a moment, and then called Lin Shan and Zhang Zijun to have breakfast together.
When I was almost full, Mrs. Xinghua came over.
Lin Shan knew that she was here to get money, so he drank the last bit of rice porridge in two mouthfuls, and said to Jian Ruoqing and Zhang Zijun, who were still chewing slowly, "You guys eat slowly."
When he came to the door, Lin Shan quietly gave Xinghua the 30,000 yuan he had prepared in advance and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. Don't be embarrassed."
"I will, thank you Shanzi." Xinghua thanked Linshan, turned around and went down the mountain without saying anything else.
"Lin Debiao, if you are threatening Xinghua, I will never let you go!" Lin Shan said silently, looking at Xinghua's leaving back.
After breakfast, Mr. Gen, Uncle Lao Cai and Uncle Lao Pao came together. If they didn't go to survey the route, Uncle Pao wouldn't follow. He had to work on the ranch.
So this time, there were only four people, Lin Shan, Zhang Zijun, Gen Ye and Lao Cai Shu, who went to survey the ancient road.
They brought some dry food and drinking water and were carried by Lin Shan. Under the leadership of Gen Ye, they left the village.
The ancient road has been abandoned for many years and is overgrown with weeds. If Gen Ye hadn't remembered it clearly, he wouldn't have been able to find it.
But even so, the four of them still took many detours.
It was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that they arrived at the barrier lake formed by landslides.
"Miss Zhang, this is the only obstacle to the ancient road. As long as this barrier lake is opened, the ancient road can go directly to the county seat." Mr. Gen stood by the lake and panted.
Lin Shan handed Gen Ye a bottle of water and said, "Zijun, what do you think? Is this ancient road usable?"
Zhang Zijun did not immediately answer Lin Shan's question. Instead, he walked to the highest point, looked around at the terrain, and then surveyed the surrounding geology and soil.
After busying for half an hour, he said: "This barrier lake is not small. If you want to open it, you must think about where the water in the lake will drain. Master Gen, are you sure there is no one around here? Especially near the mountain stream on the left
.”
"No, I'm pretty sure. But just to be sure, let's go around and have a look." Mr. Gen said calmly.
Zhang Zijun nodded and said: "If there are no homes, that's no problem. We can blast a gap on the left side of the barrier lake, then dig a ditch to drain the water into the mountain stream. As for building roads, we can
There are several places along the way that can be used as quarrying points. The stones can be obtained locally, which not only saves freight, but also saves a lot of time."
"Great. How much is the approximate cost of this road?" Lin Shan asked happily.
Zhang Zijun said: "It depends on what kind of road you build. Asphalt roads will definitely be much more expensive, while cement roads are cheaper. In addition, the cost also depends on the width, thickness, earthwork preparation, etc. of the road you build. This needs to be done later.
Only through systematic calculation can we figure it out.”
"If we build a cement road and the road is four meters wide, you can give me an estimate." Lin Shan asked.
Zhang Zijun thought for a moment, and then asked Mr. Gen next to him: "Master Gen, how far is it from the county seat after passing the barrier lake?"
"There should be half of it left. I haven't left for many years, and I don't know what the second half will be like." Master Gen said.
"If the second half of the road is similar to what we walked before, we need to build a four-meter-wide cement road. It is designed according to the rural level and costs about 300,000 per kilometer. The total mileage of this road is almost 30 kilometers, and the total mileage is about 300,000 yuan.
The cost is only nine million." Zhang Zijun said.
"Nine million..." Lin Shan smacked his lips, feeling that it was still a bit much.
Of course, the cost of this road is much cheaper than the previous road that easily cost hundreds of millions.
But the problem is that this road only leads to Xiaowa Village, and other villages will not benefit. Therefore, it is impossible for the county to spend large sums of money to build this road for one village.
In other words, it is impossible to get some financial subsidies, and he can only rely on himself.
And right now, it’s not that easy to raise nine million.
However, this road must be repaired as soon as possible, with a view to completing it before the end of the year, so as not to affect the sales of agricultural products at Qingshan Pasture and Farm.
He now has a shuttle that can be used for transportation, but it cannot be exposed to others. He can only do it secretly at night. After all, it is not convenient, and he has to find excuses to prevaricate others.
This kind of lying thing is very tiring.
Seeing Lin Shan's expression, Zhang Zijun understood the difficulty in his heart and said: "If you don't have enough funds, you can consider building a gravel road. The gravel can be obtained locally, and you only need to spend some machinery and labor costs, and the rest
Most of them are on a flat roadbed. The most important thing is that after paving the gravel road, it is very convenient to convert it into a cement road or asphalt road later."
"That's a good idea." Lin Shan showed a hint of joy after hearing this, and then asked: "How much does such a road cost approximately?"
"Save half of it." Zhang Zijun said.
"Miss Zhang, can such a gravel road be used for living? Will it break down in two years? Post-maintenance is also a problem." Master Gen frowned and asked with some worry.
Zhang Zijun smiled and said, "Master Gen, you don't have to worry. As long as we take good care of the roadbed and roll it over with a road rolling machine, it will definitely be fine."
"That's good. As long as it can be opened to traffic, it doesn't matter if the road is gravel." After hearing Zhang Zijun's explanation, Mr. Gen felt relieved and nodded.
"Then build the gravel road. Not only will it save money, but it can also be opened to traffic before the end of the year. It will not affect the sales of our agricultural products. When we have the money, it will not be too late to upgrade the road surface." Lin Shan finally made the decision.
Zhang Zijun nodded and said: "Okay, let's continue to look ahead, especially the mountain stream, which is the main drainage channel, so we must ensure that everything is safe."
