Chapter 124 Obtaining the Mountain


Chapter 124 The mountainous land is obtained

After the old village chief Zhang Jianwen told Zhang An and his son some things about the contract, he was ready to go back.

He is going back to find a few other people to discuss this matter.

Although Zhang Jianwen personally favors Zhang An, this matter is a collective matter of the village after all.

For such a big event, everyone must be notified and discussed collectively to save other things in the future.

Although the old uncle said that he still had to tell the village, Zhang An knew that this land was basically his own.

As long as the other party refuses to increase the price, even if the price is twenty yuan per acre, everyone is 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.

The total amount is over 100,000, 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 so anxious at first, but when he heard that someone else wanted to 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 doesn’t grow the tea well and raise pigs on it?

Then my house smells like pig shit every day, so I don’t want to play anymore.

After a peaceful night, Zhang An went back to sleep early.

"Notice, notice, please call the villagers and come to the office door for a meeting at eight o'clock. You must not be absent."

Early in the morning, Zhang An just woke up, Then I heard the loudspeaker in the village ringing again.

Last night, my uncle said that he would hold a meeting with everyone today to discuss the 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, everyone has not yet gone out to work in the fields, and at least one person at home will be there.

And generally for things that are not very important, I will not use the words "must not be absent".

Usually everyone starts talking when everyone arrives.

Zhang got up and washed his face, and found that it was still early when he took a look.

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.

Water them only 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 come to the door of the sunbathing area.

Zhang An thought his father didn't come, but he didn't expect that he came over early.

Because at home, there are usually times 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 was missing.

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 we could do about this situation. They had already left, so the old uncle didn’t say anything and started talking about business.

“The main reason for calling everyone here today is two things.”

“The first thing is that this year there is a policy from above. In the future, grain will not be harvested, and grain stations will be directly converted into Money, collected in cash”

"That is to say, this year we don't have to carry the grain on our backs. We have to pay money."

When the old uncle mentioned this, Zhang An remembered that it seemed that this year the grain supply would not be collected. Food.

“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 that he wanted to contract the wasteland on the loess slope in our village. "This is a big deal for our village. It is also the first time that the village has contracted the mountainous land."

"And the other party said that we have loess." The sloping land was not very good, so I could only pay ten yuan per acre.”

“But later Zhang An told me that he also wanted to contract that land, and the price was twenty yuan per 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 in Huangtupo.

Now that they hear that someone is willing to spend money to contract, they are too late to be happy.

After all, it's useless to leave it there. If this bag is sold out, each family can still get some money.

So 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 We are only willing to pay ten yuan, and Zhang An’s price is higher than what others are offering, so we are definitely willing to give it to Zhang An.”

“We also think we should give it to Zhang An, the owner of the land. You know, he also bought a large area from my maternal family, but the price was 20 yuan per acre. Why should he give half of it to our village? He just looks down on us."

Uncle. As soon as they 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 is not as much as Zhang An’s.

So this matter was settled without a doubt.

“Since everyone agrees to lease the collective mountain land to Zhang An, we are ready to write a paper.”

“Wasteland costs twenty yuan an acre per year, a total of one hundred and eleven Thirteen acres, excluding the ridge of our mountain road, it is calculated as one hundred and ten acres of land. Do you have any opinions?"

After the old uncle finished speaking, he saw that everyone had no objections before continuing. .

"Then based on two thousand and two years a 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 yesterday Zhang An had said last night that he could keep it for as long as he wanted, but today in front of everyone, Zhang Jianwen asked again.

"Then thirty years."

"For the people, you write the paper."

Zhang Jianwen called the village accountant on the spot to write the contract.

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 effective 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 taking 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 together are equivalent to guarantees for the law and all aspects of the village.

After Zhang An waited in the drying yard for a while, accountant Huang Weimin wrote the contract on white paper.

After that, 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 stacks of money from the black plastic bag he was carrying to pay. The money was given by Ding Yi last time, and he was too lazy 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 belonged to mountainous land, so the contract period was longer.

But it has not 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 I can’t afford that much money now, I have enough money.

So, 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 on 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 from now on.

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 had to pretend to be calm on the surface, which made the expression on Zhang An's face look a little strange.

Zhang Jianguo 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 Villages belonged to the village 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 would separate 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.

Some people who are good at calculation will probably know how much each family can get by doing a little calculation in their mind.

Even if most people are illiterate and cannot count, those brand new stacks of RMB are just there.

When the old man saw everyone's expectant eyes, he naturally understood what everyone meant.

“Everyone, please stop staring at me, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable.”

“I know that when you see so much money, some people have calculated how much each family can share. How much is it?”

“I have decided not to share this money with you for the time being. Think about it, our village went to the town for several months to build roads, and it was just a penny. I didn’t get it.”

“The old people said that they have no money, and the dwarf has three points.”

“Everyone knows that there has been no income in the village, and they don’t usually ask people to contribute money for anything. When the road was built last time, everyone donated voluntarily, which is considered the first public asset of our village.”

"So I think this money should be put in the village first, and we will see where there are places in the village that need to spend money in the future. It will be convenient when the time comes."

"If the money is not spent before the Chinese New Year, Maybe there is still a lot left. I will call everyone together before that year and divide the money then, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year, right?” Don’t you feel sad when you watch other people eat meat during the New Year?”

“Although the conditions in our village are not very good, we have never heard of anyone having trouble eating. It’s too difficult. I can’t even eat and I’m waiting for this money to live. Then come to me and the village will find a way for you. Everyone will say if it’s okay.”

Hearing the old uncle say that the money will not be divided, everyone was a little bit worried. Not very refreshing.

But after the old uncle expressed his thoughts later, everyone could understand again.

It’s very difficult in the village. We don’t have a penny. Every time we go to the town to ask for money, we feel like a beggar.

In the end, people are not willing to give you a little charity.

Especially because the old uncle said that if there is no big event in the village and the money is not spent by then.

The money will be distributed to everyone during the Chinese New Year 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 although the money was not divided in the end, in everyone's eyes, it was kept in the village.

It’s not 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 they get is theirs.

But now what is important is that the minority obeys the majority. Everyone agrees, and a few companies can only give up.

"Mom, keep this."

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 the money has been exported and can never be taken back.

So she carefully took it and put it in the cabinet.

"I see that the saplings 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, wait until the temperature drops in a few days, otherwise the saplings won’t be able to bear being moved now.”

Although the land has been obtained, and the saplings in the backyard can also be moved. Fucked.

But this period is not suitable for planting trees on the mountain because the current temperature is still a bit high.

So Zhang An plans to wait until a few days later, when everyone has finished sowing and the temperature has dropped a bit.

Start preparing to plant trees again. Spring is not the only time suitable for planting trees in the mountains.

You can also plant it in autumn, but you may need more watering and care at that time.

“But if we move it in a few days, it will 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. Then it will only take a few days to plant it."

Such a big mountain, if Let Zhang An and his family plant trees by themselves. How long will it take for them to plant trees?

So Zhang An planned 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 we have to prepare for the autumn planting.

Every family has to work on their own fields first.

"How many people should we hire? It will cost a lot of money. How about we hire some favor workers?"

Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang still don't want to spend more money. , this invites so many people, and they can’t bear to spend hundreds of dollars at the end of the day.

"Mom, if we hire a favor worker, how long will it take for our family to pay them back?"

In the end, Zhang An persuaded his parents after some hard talking.

The older generation is like this. They worry about money everywhere and want to save whatever they can.
