Portable space

After the people in the house left, Zhang Taiping stayed. He still had something to discuss with the village chief.

"What? Is there anything else?" The old village head asked after puffing out a cigarette.

"Well, I'm going to dig a pond, and I want to cover the open space on the south side of the yard."

"Is it the wasteland between the south of your house and the hill?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Well, it's that wasteland."

The old village chief waved his hand and said, "What bag is there? You can just dig it. That piece of land doesn't grow food, so it's worthless. As long as you can do more for the village, you won't say anything." .”

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "One yard is equal to one yard. It's better to write it clearly in black and white in the contract, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will arise. And I'm not only contracting the land, but also contracting the land. It is ready to be contracted together with the small hill to the south."

The old village head looked at him strangely and said: "You said that piece of wasteland can be used to dig ponds, but that hill is almost entirely covered with stones, even if fruit trees are planted on it, they may not bear good fruit. What do you want that mountain top for?"

"Hehe, it will always be useful."

The old village chief was still worried: "It's not that my uncle is busy. You can't waste it like that when you have money. What can you do with that mountain top? You can't do anything. Isn't that a waste of money?"

"Uncle, you are overthinking. Even if I have a little money, I won't waste it. It will always be useful to take over that mountain. It's not convenient to tell you what it is. Anyway, you will know when the time comes." It will never go to waste."

Seeing Zhang Taiping's resolute attitude, the old village chief didn't try to persuade him any more. Judging from his performance in the past six months, he no longer looks like a fool. Maybe he can really use this mountain reasonably.

"Originally, if you were just digging a pond, you would be given a small share when planting fruit trees on the mountain. The old man can decide to allocate that piece of wasteland to you. Now you want to contract that mountain together. The mountain is not small, this is not a trivial matter, we need to discuss it with everyone. Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "It would be best to discuss it, let's see if the villagers have any opinions. "

"Then do you have any price in mind, and you can talk about it then."

Zhang Taiping pondered for a while and said: "I have never contracted this before, so I don't know what the price is. Uncle, what price do you think is suitable?"

"The hills in our village are allocated to each household to plant fruit trees. There has never been such a thing as contracting, but Tuping Village in the east has contracted a hill to a family. The soil quality of that hill is better than this one. The mountain top is good, but it is small. The contract fee is 6000 yuan a year. After 30 years of contracting, the total is 18 yuan. The value of the mountain you want first is not as high as that of the other one. Initially, it is set at 4000 yuan a year. How about the money?"

Zhang Taiping was taken aback when he heard it. It wasn’t that it was expensive, but that it was too cheap. A mountain in Nuo Da only costs 5000 yuan a year, and only 100 million yuan in 50 years. He wants to buy a better house in the city It is dangerous, but here you can directly contract a mountain.

Calming down the excitement in my heart, I said blankly: "Four thousand is four thousand, and what about the wasteland?"

"Wasteland, I'll make the decision. Do you think it's 30 yuan a year for one mu of land?" said the old village chief.

"Appropriate" Zhang Taiping agreed without even thinking about it. He would be a fool if he didn't agree in jest. The land has a total of more than 30 mu, and it only costs 1000 yuan a year, and only 100 yuan in [-] years.But the value of this piece of land is far more than that in his own hands, "Let's make a contract at that time."

"Well, at that time, we have to make a contract to reassure everyone. Do you have any urgent matters?"

"No." Zhang Taiping shook his head.

"Then don't leave in a hurry, I'll call everyone to a meeting to discuss this matter right now." The old village head is also a vigorous character, and he was ready to notify the villagers immediately.Zhang Taiping also hopes that this matter will be settled early, so there is no reason to object.

This time the village head did not announce on the loudspeaker, but came to the door of the yard where the public facilities were stored together with Zhang Taiping.There is a big elm tree here, which is very old. The oldest person in the village said that this elm tree was like this when they were young, so that they can hug each other.A clock the size of a wine jar was hung on the elm tree, and a bell hung from it.Don't look at this clock hanging here, there is also a rope hanging down, but no one rushes to touch it easily. The naughty children used to love to make trouble. After ringing this clock, they have all been cleaned up severely, and never No one dares to joke about that.

This bell will only be rung when a major event occurs in the village and the villagers gather together. The bell rings clear and far, and the whole village can hear it. Anyone who hears it must put down what they are doing and rush over.Today, the village chief did not use the horn to announce, but planned to use this clock to notify the villagers. It seemed that he regarded it as a major event that could affect the whole village.

The village chief pulled the rope rhythmically three times, paused, pulled three times, and then paused for a while. After pulling like this for more than a minute, the melodious sound spread far and wide.

People in the neighboring villages couldn't help but think, what's wrong with Wangjiacun?Although it is called "Xiaofengyukou Village" in government records, it is still used to be called "Wangjia Village" in other villages, because almost all the people here are surnamed Wang.

Everyone in this village who heard it could tell whether something serious happened or the child was being mischievous. They didn't know what happened, so they put down their work and quickly gathered under the old elm tree.

In less than 10 minutes, more than 50 households and hundreds of people arrived, even Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao arrived. The village head first asked people to move stools for a few old people who were not junior or high class and sat down. , just started talking.

"I called you here today because of a major event related to your interests."

There were more than 200 people below, but miraculously no one made a sound, and they were all listening to the village chief's words.Originally, ringing the bell to summon people meant that something big would happen, but now that the village chief explained that it was something related to everyone's interests, people couldn't help but be full of curiosity.

The village head went on to say: "Marshal Zhang, everyone knows that. He is going to pay for the hill to the south of his house and the wasteland in between."

After the words fell, the more than 200 people below directly exploded the pot, and they all felt incredible. It was a piece of wasteland and barren mountains. What can the contractor do?Everyone began to whisper their opinions.

The old village head rang the bell, and the scene immediately fell silent, "Today we are here to discuss three things. One is to discuss what price is more suitable; the other is to elect an accountant and cashier. It used to be that the village There is no collective fund, and no accountant or cashier is needed. Now once Zhang Dashuai contracts the barren hills and wasteland, the money belongs to the collective fund of the village, and there must be an accountant and cashier; the third is to discuss how to deal with the money. "

After the village chief finished speaking, the discussion started again. This barren mountain and this piece of wasteland are worthless in the eyes of the villagers, so they first set the price very low in their hearts. Everyone knows the price of the contracted hill in Tuping Village. Yes, I can't help but compare this mountain with that mountain, and feel that this one has no way to compare with others, and of course this price cannot be the same as that one.Although I don't know why Zhang Dashuai contracted these barren mountains and wastelands, and some people wanted to raise the price, but as soon as they proposed it, they were obliterated by a group of people "you are the smart one".

After pulling the clock again, the old village chief said: "Everyone knows the value of this barren mountain, and we must be careful when negotiating. Don't let the commander think that the price is not worth it and don't want to contract it. It will be a loss for everyone."

The person who was about to quote a high price just now turned off the fire immediately, and no one stood up to say the price. A young man stood up and said, "Let him say a price first, let's discuss it and see if it works."

Zhang Taiping said: "My price is 100 a year, and the contract is [-] years!"

Everyone felt that the price of 100 was reasonable, but the "[-] years" stunned everyone. The old village chief was also inexplicably shocked. When discussing with Zhang Taiping, he just forgot to ask him how many years the contract had been.The old village chief turned his head to look at Mr. Zhang, and saw that he also frowned slightly. The village chief understood that this was entirely Zhang Taiping's own decision.

The sisters Cai Yazhi standing next to Zhang Taiping were also a little shocked, but Cai Yazhi obeyed Zhang Taiping's order and did not raise any doubts, but Cai Xiaomei asked: "The order has been contracted for so many years? What did you contract the barren mountain for?"

Zhang Taiping didn't say much: "It's useful, you'll know it when the time comes."

Seeing Zhang Taiping answering like this, Cai Xiaomei frowned and didn't ask any more questions.

The village head asked, "Are you sure it's 100 years?"

Zhang Taiping said: "It is 100 years."

"Then how many years are you planning to pay the contract fee?"

"In cash, it will be paid in one lump sum after the contract is signed." Zhang Taiping said indifferently, he has this money and he doesn't want to be in arrears.

"Okay, everyone heard it? 4000 yuan per year, 100 years of contract. Anyone who has any questions can ask." The village chief said to the group.

The masses below were really shocked. Hundreds of thousands were taken out as soon as they said they would be taken out, and no one raised any objection.

"Oh, by the way, there is also the wasteland of nearly 30 mu, which costs 100 yuan per mu a year, and it is also contracted for [-] years. I am the owner of this." The village head added.

The villagers below still have no objections, they are all shocked by Zhang Taiping's generosity today, and 30 yuan per mu for that kind of wasteland is not low, and the village chief has not given any sympathy, so who would have any objections?

After doing some calculations, the village head said: "The total cost of contracting the mountain is 40 yuan. As for the wasteland, it is calculated on the basis of 9 mu, which is 49 yuan, and together it is [-] yuan."

After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that no one spoke, the village chief rang the bell again. After three rings, the matter was considered settled in the village, and there was absolutely no possibility of objection to repentance.
