Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 445 Income from "Heroes"
So Zha Haisheng, Luo Yihe, and Liu Jun received 9% of the remuneration for the print run of "Aspirations of Heroes". The 9% of the remuneration for the print run is not much among the three, but it can't stand the high sales of "Aspirations of Heroes" , and now martial arts novels are generally more expensive.

Over the past year, the two volumes of "Heroes" have sold nearly 500 million copies, and the combined remuneration of several people is as much as 14 yuan, with an average of more than 4 yuan per person.

Zha Haisheng's first month's salary after graduation was 36.8 yuan, which is enough for him to work for 100 years.

In later generations, authors often rely on bestsellers to reach the top of the author's income rankings. That is because they have royalties. There is no concept of royalties in China today, but there are print remunerations. The reason is the same.

The money distributed by He Ping not only solved the life problems of a few fledgling young men, but more importantly, filled them with confidence in their future and writing career.

On the other hand, it also kills their future for poetry creation.

After all, in the profession of poet, countless predecessors have proved that only poor people can write good works.

The fate of these three people went to another path because they knew He Ping, especially Zha Haisheng, if according to the inertia of history, he would commit suicide by lying on the train a few years later and die young.

In He Ping's view, life is worse than death.From this point of view, He Ping is not considered a literati, and his ideas are relatively lofty, such as "give me freedom or give me death".

Anyway, it's not what I want, so I'll show you to death.

He Ping sometimes thinks about himself, whether he is too vulgar.

But when he was holding a bowl of corn stubble and chewing it deliciously, he gave himself a big mouthful. He just started to float after eating for a few days!
According to the Gregorian calendar, it is now 1984, and the most influential events for the people of Ping County this year should be the official implementation of household contracting and commune reform.

The commune was changed to a township, the production team was called a village, and the big pot of rice was swept into the heap of history.

All this had little impact on Hantun. The common people in Hantun, who were separated from the land, entered the stage of a well-off life 20 years in advance.

In two years, the houses of all the families in the village were rebuilt as a whole. The "pounded houses" that are common in the southern Liaoning area were born ahead of schedule. Looking at Hantun from a distance outside the village, there is a brand-new building, which can be seen from several surrounding villages. It's not good to be greedy.

Due to the rapid economic development of Hantun, several surrounding villages also benefited a lot, but there is still a big gap compared with Hantun.

Speaking of who's daughter and kid went to work in Hantun's place, the parents' faces were bright.Although it is not as good as the food supply, but after all, they are paid for going to work, and the wages are not lower than those of ordinary factories.

Therefore, in the past two years, Hongqi Commune is now called Hongqi Town, and these villages in the south have become high-standard areas for discussing marriage in rural areas of Ping County.

Not to mention the special case of He Ping marrying the daughter of the county magistrate. Han Zhaoshe, who was dating a girl from the city, Zheng Wenzhi, is an example.

Now young people in Hantun look for marriages from people in the commune the last time they talk about marriage. People in the surrounding villages want to propose marriage, but they can't even pass the test of a matchmaker.

This reality has created a situation in Hantun's wedding market of "less meat and more wolves", and it has also become a frequent haunt of many matchmakers.

It wasn't just the matchmaker who was willing to come to Hantun. Since Hantun became famous, many people from Ping County came to the team to have a look.

Be it newspapers or television, Hantun has made a name for himself through these media channels, and those who pay attention to Hantun will naturally be curious.

Especially during the winter period, most of the common people are free and come to Hantun to have a look when they have time.

As more people came, the slightly sluggish scene in previous winters disappeared, and Hantun became more and more lively.

The most obvious change is the small market outside the village. More people come to sell goods. The stalls are more than 100 meters long along both sides of the road. The ordinary people who come for sightseeing also bring business to these vendors.

In this way, a positive cycle has been formed, and the small market outside Hantun Village gradually tends to develop into a large market.

When there are more outsiders, there are more opportunities. Han Yuanchao saw people coming and going in the village every day, so many people didn't even have a place to rest or eat, so he moved his mind.

He wanted to build a house next to the market and open a restaurant, but the land belonged to the village, so he had to go through the village to use it, so he found the old captain.

Han Yuanchao was not the first villager who came to look for the old captain. A market gradually formed at the entrance of the village. There were so many people coming and going, and everyone was not a fool. If they did some business in this area, they would definitely make money.

But the land is so big, it is not appropriate to give it to anyone, and the old captain is worried about it.

Recruiting the village cadres to discuss it for a long time did not come up with a good idea. If this matter is not handled well, the village cadres will definitely be wrong inside and outside.

"Finish the kid's stuff, and lose the chain at the critical moment!"

Just scolding is useless, things have to be done.

As the saying goes, "Ask He Ping if the internal affairs are not decided", the old team leader snatched He Ping out of the warm bed with a phone call.

"There's nothing negotiable about this shit, if you want to do business, let them do it."

"As you said, the place is so big, who will it be given to?"

"It's not easy. Build two rows of stores along the road. Those who have money will enter the store, and those who have no money will build a market for them. I think the area is big enough."

The old captain was unhappy when he heard that it would cost money, "You put it lightly, don't you have to spend money in the village?"

"Don't you have to spend money first to make money? Can we build houses for them for nothing? Whether it's renting or selling, you can decide for yourself after building it. This can also be regarded as generating income for the village."

"Can they pay?"

"You chatter. What's the matter? You plan to pick it up for nothing."

The old captain waved his hand and said, "That's not what I mean. He has to earn money before he can buy or rent it, right?"

"In business, who can guarantee to make money, it depends on one's own thinking."

"Then what if no one buys or rents it after we finish building it?"

He Ping spread his hands, "The place belongs to Hantun. He can only do business if he wants him to do business. If you don't rent it, you can get out."

This naked|naked words full of corrupt ideas of capitalism made the old captain unhappy.

"What do you mean by talking, what do you mean get out, people come here to set up a stall to make a living, can you do that?"

He Ping was a little ashamed by what the old captain said, and it seemed that he was a little out of touch with the people.

"Then what do you say?"

"I think after the market is built, let everyone come in to sell goods first, not to mention whether to rent or buy, just pay us some management fees, all of which belong to the villagers."

He Ping gasped.

I originally thought that only people like me would be sentenced to revolution, but I didn't expect that a thick-eyed guy like you would also fall.

The old man's thinking is very advanced!
