Chapter 442 Subcontracting Rice Fields
"The few fields near your house, the Dayong family's is fine, but the Shucheng family's field is a bit troublesome. You know the situation of Shucheng, so it probably doesn't make sense. The Zhigang family's is fine, but Zhigang's The family wants money. There are two ways, one is to ask for 200 yuan per mu per year, and he also needs the state subsidy. The other is to subcontract it for 3000 yuan per mu. Originally, this field belongs to the state. If you abandon the farmland, you will be fined But this is the general situation in the village now. Besides, Zhigang’s family is desperate for money. There is no way to do this. Otherwise, I will ask you another question. The things in this village are the worst now. It's easy to handle. There are fields that are barren, and those who want to farm have not yet got one." In the evening, Luo Changqing went to Luo Tianwang's house to talk about contracting the rice fields.

"3000 yuan per acre, just 3000 yuan per acre. I want to transform this field into a machine-plowed field. If I don't subcontract it to my own hands, and they will regret it after I transform the field, then I am busy?" Luo Tianwang didn't care How much does it cost.

"That's true. But if you do it this way, the cost will be very high. One mu of land can't earn 500 yuan a year, and if you do it this way, you won't be able to make back the money in ten years. This kind of field is costly and risky. You I have never farmed before, so I don’t know the way to do it.” Luo Changqing said with some worry.

"It's nothing. Uncle Changqing, I'm just using this as a pilot project. It's okay if the cost is higher. When I finish the pilot project, when I contract a large area of ​​rice fields in the future, I will definitely have to come forward to do the work. I'll come back When I was there, I looked around, and the fields everywhere were seriously barren, if I was willing to contract all these rice fields, I think they would definitely support them." Luo Tianwang said.

"Tianwang, do your parents know when you come back to plant?" Luo Changqing asked.

"Of course I know. How could they not know about such a big thing. Let's not talk about it, just got some loach from the pond today, and there is a jar of wine at home. It was brewed when I was at home. My grandparents It has not moved. I checked it out today, and the smell of alcohol has not escaped, and it smells very good. Let's have a drink together." Luo Tianwang went to get Luo Changqing a bowl, a wine glass, and a pair of chopsticks.

"Okay, you've grown up, uncle hasn't had a drink with you yet. Let's have a drink together, so we can talk about it." Luo Changqing sat down.

Li Shishi didn't quite understand the hometown dialect that Luo Tianwang and Luo Changqing spoke, so she sat quietly and listened to the two of them talking.

"Uncle Changqing, our family has been out for so many years, and none of the loaches I raise in the pond and the electric fish in the village have any idea?" Luo Tianwang asked strangely.

Luo Changqing chuckled: "Why didn't you make up your mind? The year you went out, Shui Gen came over to charge the fish in your family. But the fish didn't catch, and he almost lost his soul in fright. Your old scalper chased him away. After running for more than ten miles, he finally jumped into the pond. If your scalper didn’t dare to go into the water, the old scalper probably would have punched two holes in his body.”

"Later, didn't Lao Huang also go to Huacheng?" Luo Tianwang asked puzzled.

"Why didn't you come? Not only Shuigen came, but several people in the village who often go to electric fishing have come. The result is the same. The fish was not caught, but they were scared to death. The old scalper left, and the bayberry tree in your house Aren’t there many nests of crows? You have never seen such a big bayberry tree in your family. They came here at night and wanted to fish in your pond, but a large group of crows swooped down. When they got down, they were so scared that they even threw away their fishing machines. It was important to run for their lives first. After so many times, who would dare to think about your pond? Oh, this loach is really delicious. No wonder everyone wanted to think about it. There are many fields in the east and west, and now they are all caught by those fishing machines." Luo Changqing put a piece of loach into his mouth, savored it carefully, as if reminiscing about the past.

It was only then that Luo Tianwang realized that it was the crows in the tree guarding the pond.These crows should be relatives of the five crows brought by the little sparrow.

"I plan to expand this pond. There are too many loach in it, and it has already reached the limit of the pond. In the future, I plan to put the loach in the pond into the paddy field to raise. Let the farmland in Hemawan grow again. Just like in the past, the field is full of loaches, and the ridges are full of frogs." Luo Tianwang said.

"Well, that's a good idea. But if you put this pond down, you will be shocked by those fishermen later on." Luo Changqing said.

"It's okay. I will naturally find a way to protect it. In a few days, my grandparents will come back. The old scalper will come back, and some dogs I raised will also be brought back. I think those electric fishing people dare to come!" Luo Tianwang laughed. .

"That's true. I heard that there are people outside who grow crops without using pesticides and fertilizers, and grow lazy fields, and sell them for a higher price. What is it called a machine, a machine..." Luo Changqing couldn't remember the word at once.

"Organic rice." Luo Tianwang immediately guessed what Luo Changqing wanted to say.

"Yes. That's it. I heard it's very expensive." Luo Changqing said.

"Of course, our Ruyi Farm has organic rice for sale. Ordinary rice can be sold for four or five yuan a catty at most. Organic rice is at least 20 yuan. That's not counting. Japanese organic rice costs more than 100 yuan. Jin." Luo Tianwang said.

"Is it selling gold or something? It's so expensive? Is it so delicious? People in the city are really willing to spend money." Luo Changqing was dumbfounded.

This time Li Shishi understood a little, and said with a smile: "Actually, there are not many people in the city who can afford this kind of rice. At least my family can't afford such expensive rice."

"That's true. Those who buy these rice are usually rich people. In fact, we can also grow this kind of rice. In the future, we will grow this kind of rice in the rice fields of Hemawan. Our water source is good here, and there are not many diseases and insect pests in the rice fields every year. Even without the use of pesticides and fertilizers, good crops can be grown." Luo Tianwang said.

"Diseases still exist. If a rice blast breaks out, one season's rice harvest will be wiped out. Growing rice is not as easy as you think. Tianwang, you want to come back to do agriculture and change the appearance of our Hemawan. I support it." You. But don't take this matter too simply." Luo Changqing reminded.

Luo Tianwang nodded: "Uncle Changqing, don't worry. Aren't I going to plant a few acres of land for an experiment? I want to get all the fields around my house. It will be organized in a unified way and easy to manage. Uncle Changqing Well, the field of Shucheng’s family is right in the middle, see if you can find a way to get it through Zhigang. Even if I spend a little more money, there’s no problem.”

"Huh? This is a way. Zhigang is open to seeing money, and he has a good relationship with Shucheng. I heard that because of the Huacheng incident, Shucheng still owes Zhigang money. Zhigang will definitely be happy to make some money. Zhigang happens to be building a house at home this time, so I’ll ask you later.” Luo Changqing said.

"No hurry, no hurry, take your time." Luo Tianwang said.

"No rush. Zhigang will go out after staying at home for a few days, and his wife, Cao Meiying, can't decide anything. I have to get this done while Zhigang is at home." Luo Changqing said.

Li Shishi didn't eat much, so she went to read a book after eating.In this way, Luo Changqing can also let go.

"You boy, you brought such a beautiful and virtuous woman to Hemawan. She is sincerely with you. Why don't you work with her in the city? What good is there in this village? Everyone in the village wants to go to the city. You ran back to the village from the city. With such a big business in your family, can't you live comfortably in the city?" Luo Changqing was very puzzled by Luo Tianwang's choice.

"Uncle Changqing, people are different. Some people like the colorful world in the city, while others like the green mountains and green waters in the countryside. I just like the mountains and rivers of our Hemawan." Luo Tianwang said.

"When you stay in Hemawan for a long time and know the real taste of the countryside, you will know how powerful it is." Luo Changqing laughed.

After eating, Luo Changqing came out of Luo Tianwang's house and went straight to Luo Zhigang's house.

Luo Zhigang came back to build a house this year, and he is busy with the design of the house these days.For the people in Hemawan, a house is a major event in life.As important as getting married and having children.The houses in the village are getting more and more beautiful.Luo Zhigang's house is still a brick and tile house in the 80s, which is already very backward in the village.Although Luo Zhengjiang's family, the richest man in Hemawan, is still a brick and tile house, their situation is different. They have several houses in Huacheng and villas in Dongsheng Fishing Village.It was even heard that Luo Tianwang had real estate in Kyoto.Moreover, according to Luo Zhengjiang's situation, once he decides to come back and build a house, it will definitely be the most eye-catching landmark in Hemawan Village.No one doubts this.Moreover, Luo Tianwang had already returned home, and the house should have already entered the schedule.

There is another reason why Luo Zhigang is eager to build a house. His son Luo Ronghui is already in his 20s. He has talked about a marriage and plans to hold a wedding at the end of this year.The woman disliked the poor quality of Luo Zhigang's house, and was always reluctant.Luo Ronghui was so anxious that Luo Zhigang and his wife hurriedly resigned from Huacheng and returned to their hometown to build a house.

When Luo Changqing entered, Luo Zhigang was discussing with his wife whether to invite a designer.

"I went to ask, and it costs thousands of dollars to hire a designer. The problem is that people design it and don't care about it later. Or you have to give them the project. This is even more expensive. The design fee alone is It costs tens of thousands. The cost of the things they designed is definitely not low. This year's labor costs and materials have all increased, and the total is less than 60 to 10,000 yuan. Our family does not have much money. I want [-]+." Luo Zhigang was a little worried.I used to save money desperately, but I didn't expect the price to rise faster than the earning.

"You two are discussing about building a villa?" Luo Changqing said as he walked in.

"Changqing is here. Are we going to build a villa? Just build a place to live. By the way, I have to trouble you about building a house certificate." Luo Zhigang said.
