Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 593
This is a very honest farmer, and the population structure is simple, there is only one person.And his name is Zhang Laoshi.His parents passed away a few years ago, and he has never been married. He is now 36 years old.

It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but that the family is too poor, and no girl dares to marry him.There are several earth embryo houses with mottled potholes on the walls.The soil on the roof has already been washed away.Whenever it rains, he will move the bed to a corner of the house, which is the only place in the house that does not leak.

When the parents are there, there is still a bit of life in the house.At least three meals a day are on time, even if you cook half a pot of wild vegetables, at least it is considered cooking.But since the death of their parents, the family has not opened fire for an unknown period of time.

When you're hungry, just grab something in the ground and gnaw on it.Anyway, something will be planted on the mountain contracted by others.In addition, there is no shortage of wild fruits in the mountains, especially the chestnuts here.Famous all over the country.

Farmers here choose places with gentler hillsides to grow some food.Although the harvest is mediocre, it can still feed the whole family.As for income, it depends on the fruit trees on the mountain, especially chestnuts.Picking and selling this season every autumn is enough for a year's expenses.

But fruit trees also need management, such as watering and fertilizing.pest control.Otherwise, where will the output come from?But honestly Zhang never cared about these, and only took a look at the fruit when it was ripe.If there are still some branches left, they will be picked and sold.This is the most extravagant time of his life every year, and the smell of meat can be smelled at home every day.

But because he doesn't care about anything, there are very few days when he can eat meat.The mountain he allocated has coal, which is known to many people.It was also because of coal that it was his turn.Because I don't like long things.

People in that era were honest and never thought that digging out coal could be sold for money, after all, it was the property of the state.Therefore, although the coal on Zhang Laoshi's mountain is exposed, no one digs it.including himself.

This matter was finally found out by Gao Laifu. Zhang Laoshi's home is in the westernmost part of Fengrun.And Gao Laifu's home is in the east, so he got to know the news relatively late.

At first he didn't quite believe it, so he drove to Zhang Laoshi's village and went up the mountain to see it, only then was he shocked.Zhang Laoshi's dotted lumps of coal on this mountain indicate that it probably belongs to an open-pit coal mine.

Picking up a piece at random, the color is black and bright, and the texture is very light.This shows that the coal quality is very good.It definitely belongs to the kind of high-quality coal that has a low ignition point but is resistant to burning.

Gao Laifu suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked around.Mining in this place is a bit troublesome.Because there are mountains all around, his piece belongs to the middle part.If you want to mine coal here, you must open up a road.

Although the mountain is not high, it is obviously not a simple matter to open a road that leads directly down the mountain and can run large trucks.Moreover, it is very troublesome to pass through other people's mountains.

You must know that the peasants of that era would be desperate if you destroyed their trees and cultivated land.And don't care about your compensation, after all, compared with the land that can be passed down from generation to generation.People look down on your little money.

Gao Laifu frowned and thought for a while, then decided to visit the village.The branch secretary here is acquainted with a friend of his, so let's get to know the situation first.By the way, find out who is the owner of this mountain?After all, some farmers will not let you destroy their land no matter how much money you give them.

The party secretary of this village is over 50 years old, and his name is Zhang Dayou.Compared with other villagers, he is much more nourished, and his body is slightly fatter, which shows that he is living a good life.

When the two met, Gao Laifu reported his friend's name.Another big front door was handed over, and the two of them quickly warmed up.First we talked about some mutual friends, then Gao Laifu changed his tone and directly explained his intention.

Zhang Dayou frowned. The villagers didn't know about the coal mine, but he did.As for assigning that hilltop to Zhang Laoshi, it really wasn't because he was bullying others, but because he had his own plans.

Zhang is honest and obedient, and also belongs to his nephew who has not released the fifth server, so it is easy to operate when something really happens.Once it is distributed to other farmers, there is nothing he can do as the branch secretary.That's a 20-year contract!
Zhang Dayou looked at Gao Laifu calmly, he was waiting for Gao Laifu to bid.Although he knows about coal mines, he doesn't know how much this thing can sell for?

Gao Laifu didn't make any detours: "Brother Zhang, I spent 5 yuan on this mountain for ten years, and then I will return it to you after it is leveled."

Zhang Dayou was taken aback. Their village is poor.Because there is basically no flat land, the crops have not been harvested well.In the past two years, due to the opening of the farmer's market, various fruits have begun to sell, especially chestnuts.

Even so, the high family income is only 800 yuan a year.This 5 yuan is enough for an ordinary family's income for nearly a hundred years.And they didn't buy it, they just rented it for ten years.

Although Zhang Dayou was about to jump up with excitement in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.Decades of grassroots cadres are not for nothing.Be steady, be sure to be steady.He kept asking himself in his heart.

Sure enough, Gao Laifu was a little anxious when he saw Zhang Dayou's expression remained calm.After all, it was his first time dealing with him, and he didn't understand this person's temper.

"Brother Zhang, I know that this mountain has been contracted out. As long as you can help me convince this person to let me mine coal, I will give you 1 yuan alone." Gao Laifu threw another cake. After all, Gao Laifu is also a local. Learn about the income of people here.Therefore, the price offered is both irresistible and not greedy.

Zhang Dayou finally couldn't calm down any longer, stood up and offered his own price: "If I contract out this hilltop to you, you will give me 6 yuan!" He was terrified.

"Okay, brother Zhang is happy. Let's make it like this! When the time comes, we will pay for it and deliver it! Then when will I come?"

Zhang Dayou thought for a while: "Come over in three days, and bring the money with you."

Gao Laifu nodded, then shook hands and said goodbye.When I got in the car, I saw there was a big front door in the car, so I took it out and stuffed it directly to Zhang Dayou.

Watching the car disappear at the end of the path with dust, Zhang Dayou weighed the cigarette in his hand.It's not that he hasn't smoked this cigarette before, but he really hasn't owned the whole cigarette at his age.

Walking home slowly, my wife is already preparing lunch.The grandchildren are surrounded by grandma and watching her knead the dough. It looks like they are going to eat puff pastry today.

Zhang Dayou couldn't help but smack his lips, his wife's mille-feuille cake is famous in the whole village.The outside is yellow and the inside is soft, soft and oily, but my wife is reluctant to eat white noodles.So I can't eat it a few times a year.
