After the old village chief Zhang Jianwen told Zhang An and his son some things about contracting, he was ready to go back.
He wanted to go back to find a few other people to discuss the matter.
Although Zhang Jianwen is definitely partial to Zhang An personally, this matter is a collective matter of the village after all.
For such a major event, everyone must be notified and discussed collectively to save other things in the future.
Although the old uncle said that he had to tell the village, Zhang An knew that this land was basically his own.
As long as the other party refused to increase the price, even if the price for the other side was 20 yuan per acre, everyone was willing to give it to Zhang An.
What's more, if the other party increases the price, Zhang An will also increase the price, as long as it is not too outrageous.
Now Zhang An still has a sum of money in his hand, which is the money he paid for selling ginseng to Ding Yi last time.
It adds up to over 100,000 yuan, which is at least enough to secure this piece of land.
Youdao means having money in your hands and not panicking in your heart.
Zhang An was not that anxious at first, but when he heard that someone else wanted to take over the contract, he had no choice but to talk about it.
This land is behind their house, so it is definitely the best choice for Zhang An.
What if someone else takes over the business and the tea leaves don’t grow well, and they raise pigs on it?
Then my house smells like pig shit every day, so I can’t play anymore.
After a peaceful night, Zhang An went back to sleep early.
"Notice, notice, all villagers are asked to call someone and come to the office door for a meeting at eight o'clock. No one is allowed to be absent."
Early in the morning, just as Zhang An woke up, he heard the loudspeaker in the village sounding again.
Last night, my uncle said that he would hold a meeting with everyone today to discuss the matter of land allocation.
So I used Lao Shu to start notifying me early in the morning.
Because if you wake up early in the morning and shout, no one has gone out to work in the fields yet, and at least one person at home will be there.
And for things that are generally not very important, I won't use the words "must not be absent".
Usually when everyone arrives, they start talking.
Zhang got up and washed his face, but when he took a look, he realized that it was still early.
Put a pile of grass for the animals in the pen and fill the water tank.
Then I went to the backyard and watered the saplings that had been planted.
The autumn tiger is still very strong during this period, so direct watering is not allowed at noon and afternoon.
You can only water them in the morning or afternoon when the temperature is not very high.
After finishing all the work at home, Zhang An closed the door and walked towards the village office.
It was already past 7:50 at this time, and many people had already arrived at the door of the drying area.
Zhang An thought his father didn't come, but he didn't expect that he came over early.
Because at home, we usually meet when the village calls for a meeting.
As long as Zhang An is at home, Zhang Jianguo will call Zhang An.
But what we talked about today is a big deal for the village.
But it was a big event for my family, so Zhang Jianguo also came.
When it was eight o'clock, my uncle's family checked to see if anyone had not come.
In the end, there was indeed one missing family member in the village, but that family had dragged their entire family to help harvest the crops the day before yesterday.
There was nothing that could be done about this situation. They had already left, so the old man didn't say anything and started talking about business.
"I called everyone here today mainly for two things."
"The first thing is that this year there is a policy issued by the higher authorities. From now on, grain will no longer be collected. Grain stations will directly convert it into money and collect cash."
"This means that this year we don't have to carry food on our shoulders to pay. If we have to pay, we can only pay."
As soon as the old uncle mentioned this, Zhang An remembered that it seemed that this year the grain supply had stopped.
"The next thing is the second thing, which needs everyone to think about it carefully."
"A few days ago, a boss came to our village and said he wanted to take over the unused land on the loess slope in our village."
"This matter is a big deal for our village. It is also the first time the village has encountered the contracting of mountainous land."
"Moreover, the other party said that our land in Huangtupo is not very good, so they can only give us ten yuan per acre."
"But later Zhang An told me that he also wanted to contract that land, and the price was 20 yuan an acre."
"So let's discuss it now and see if we should contract it out and to whom."
Most people in the village don't care much about the wasteland of Huangtupo.
Now that they heard that someone was willing to spend money to contract, they couldn't even be happy.
After all, it's useless to leave it there. If this bag is sold out, each family can still get some money.
Therefore, many people agree to contract without even thinking about it.
"What are the considerations? First of all, one is from our own family and the other is from outside. Our family is definitely willing to outsource it to people from our own village."
"Yes, and they are only willing to pay ten yuan. Zhang An's price is higher than what others offer, so we are definitely willing to pay it to Zhang An."
"We also think we should give it to Zhang An. I know the owner of the land parcel. He also parceled out a large area at my maternal home, but he gave us twenty yuan an acre. Why should he give it to our village half less?"
Ah, you just look down on us."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone just thought about it for a moment and then began to express their opinions.
Finally, seeing that no one had any objections, the old man decided to lease the land to Zhang An.
When they went back to discuss it last night, they also called their boss.
I asked them if they were willing to increase the price, and they could increase it by up to 50%.
Even so, it's not as much as Zhang An's.
So this matter was settled without a doubt.
"Now that everyone agrees to entrust the collective mountain area to Zhang An, we are ready to write the paper."
"The cost of wasteland is twenty yuan per acre per year. The total is 113 acres. Excluding the ridges of our mountain roads, it is calculated as 110 acres of land. Do you have any opinions?"
After the old uncle finished speaking, he saw that everyone had no objections before he continued.
"Then, based on the calculation of two thousand and two per year, Zhang An, how many years do you plan to contract? Now the town has said that the land contract can be contracted for up to thirty years."
Although Zhang An said last night how long the package could last, Zhang Jianwen still asked it again in front of everyone today.
"Then thirty years."
"For the people, you write the paper."
Zhang Jianwen asked the village accountant to write the contract on the spot.
Speaking of writing paper, although it is a piece of white rice paper, the contract terms are written on it with a brush.
But for the village, this piece of paper is more useful than a contract printed out with a printer.
Of course, Zhang Jianwen still has to go to the town to go through the procedures for contracting the land.
So Zhang An signed and fingerprinted today. After getting this piece of paper, he will get a contract later.
It is stamped by the village and the town together and has legal effect.
The two pieces of paper added together are equivalent to guarantees from the legal aspect and from all aspects of the village.
Zhang An waited in the drying yard for a while while accountant Huang Weimin wrote the contract on white paper.
Then several people in the village and village representatives were asked to press their fingerprints, and then Zhang An was asked to sign and press his fingerprints.
Zhang An also took out a few wads of money from the black plastic bag he was carrying to pay.
This money was given to me by Ding Yi last time, and he didn't bother to take it and save it.
Just leave it in the space, even if it is in the bank, it is not as safe as your own body.
Originally, Zhang An thought that the contract could be contracted for fifty years. After all, the land was in a mountainous area, so the contract period would be longer.
But it hasn’t been changed yet, and the contract can only be contracted for thirty years.
So Zhang An originally felt that he didn't have enough money now, so he planned to pay part of it first and then pay part of it later.
But now I don’t need that much money, I have enough money.
Therefore, Zhang An now plans to pay off the contracting fees at once.
Everyone saw Zhang An paying the money so readily, which caused quite a stir.
Accountant Huang Weimin began to count the quantities. After counting back and forth several times and finding that there were no problems, he made a note in his notebook.
Then he handed the money to the cashier next to him and asked him to click it too.
After the money was given and the words were signed, Zhang An could use the wasteland in the village to his fullest extent.
At this time, Zhang An was actually quite excited.
In my two lifetimes combined, I have never experienced the feeling of a landlord.
But he still had to pretend to be calm on the surface, which made the expression on Zhang An's face look a little strange.
Zhang Jianguo, who was next to him, thought he wanted to go to the toilet and asked him to go quickly.
No matter where it is, for whomever it is.
Now that the village is rich, everyone opens their eyes and looks at the old uncle eagerly.
This money is the collective asset of the village, and every family has a share.
So now everyone is looking at the cashier next to the old village chief. His bag containing money is bulging.
There used to be a total of more than ninety households in Changqing Village. At that time, the nearby Wangjiachong and Maocangchang belonged to the villagers group of Changqing Village.
But later, their two villages were far away from Changqing Dazhai, and the population in the villages was increasing.
So the town agreed that they should be separated and become a separate village.
Later, Changqing Dazhai suddenly lost dozens of households.
Now from Shangzhai to Xiazhai, there are a total of about seventy households of villagers.
Those who are good at calculation will probably know how much each family can get by doing some calculations in their mind.
Even though most people are illiterate and cannot count, those brand-new stacks of RMB are still there.
When the old man saw the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, he naturally understood what everyone meant.
"Everyone, please stop staring at me, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."
"I know that when everyone sees so much money, some people have calculated how much each family can get."
"I have decided not to distribute this money to everyone for the time being. Think about it. Some time ago, our village went to the town to ask for money for road construction, but we didn't get a penny."
"Old people say that if they don't have any money, dwarves will get three points."
"Everyone also knows that the village has never had any income, and we don't usually ask everyone to contribute money for anything. Except for the last road construction, everyone donated voluntarily. This is our village's first public asset."
"So I think this money should be put in the village first, and we will see where the money needs to be spent in the future. It will be convenient when the time comes."
"If the money has not been spent before the New Year, or there is still a lot left, I will call everyone together before that year, and then divide the money, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year, right?"
"Now that it's divided, some people use it up every once in a while. Don't you feel sad watching other people eat meat during the Chinese New Year?"
"Although the conditions in our village are not very good, we have never heard of anyone whose family cannot afford to eat. If someone's family is really in dire straits and cannot afford to eat and is waiting for the money to live on, then come to me and the village will find a way for you.
, everyone said whether it would work or not.”
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they heard the old uncle say that there was no money.
But after the old uncle expressed his thoughts later, everyone could understand again.
But it was very difficult in the village. We didn't have a penny, and every time we went to the town to ask for money, we were just like a beggar.
In the end, people are not willing to give you a little charity.
Especially since the old uncle said that if there is no big event in the village and the money is not spent by then.
During the Chinese New Year, the money will be distributed to everyone so that everyone can have a good New Year. This proposal has been supported by everyone.
Because there is no family in the village that is short of money to buy rice for cooking.
On the contrary, if we divide it now, maybe the family will run out of it in a few times.
So in the end, although the money was not distributed, in everyone's eyes, it was kept in the village.
It would not be a bad idea to wait until the Chinese New Year to share it. Anyway, everyone thinks that the village roads have been repaired, so there should be nothing to spend money on.
Even a few families still want to divide the money first, because they feel that what is in their hands is theirs.
But now what is emphasized is that the minority obeys the majority. If everyone agrees, a few companies can only give up.
"Mom, put this away."
As soon as Zhang An returned home, he handed the paper written by the village to his mother.
Wang Fang also feels sorry for money, but after all the money has been exported, she can never get it back.
So she carefully took it and put it in the cabinet.
"I see that the seedlings you made are almost grown. When do you plan to start transplanting them?"
When he came back just now, Zhang Jianguo went to see the saplings cultivated by Zhang An.
They are all growing well and can now be transplanted.
"Let's wait until the temperature cools down in a few days, otherwise the sapling will not be able to bear it if we move it now."
Although the land has been obtained, and the saplings in the backyard can be transplanted.
But this period is not suitable for planting trees on the mountain because the current temperature is still a bit high.
So Zhang An planned to wait until a few days later, when everyone has finished sowing and the temperature has dropped a bit.
Let’s start preparing to plant trees again. Spring is not the only time suitable for planting trees in the mountains.
You can also plant in autumn, but you may need more watering and care then.
"But if we move it in a few days, will it be too late? What if the weather gets cold right after planting?"
"Dad, it will definitely take us a long time to plant it at home, so I plan to spend some money to hire a few more people to help. It will only take a few days to plant it."
If Zhang An and his family were to plant trees in such a huge mountain, how long would it take for them to plant trees?
So Zhang An decided to spend money to hire people from the beginning, which is why Zhang An thought about transplanting again after a while.
Because during this period, everyone has just finished the autumn harvest, and now they have to prepare for the autumn planting.
Every family has to work on their own fields first.
"How many people do we need to hire? It will cost a lot of money. How about we hire some favor workers?"
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang still didn't want to spend more money. They couldn't bear to invite so many people and spend hundreds of dollars a day.
"Mom, if we hire a favor, how long will it take for our family to pay them back?"
In the end, Zhang Anhao persuaded his parents.
The older generation is like this. They worry about money everywhere and want to save whatever they can.
