My village can't be like this

Chapter 124
After Zhang Jianwen, the old village head, told Zhang An and his son about the contract, he was ready to go back.

He wants to go back and discuss this matter with a few other people.

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

For such a big event, everyone must be notified to talk about it collectively, so as to save other things in the future.

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

As long as the other party refuses to increase the price, even the opposite party is 20 yuan per mu, and everyone is willing to give it to Zhang An.

What's more, if the other party increases the price, Zhang An will also increase it, as long as it is not too outrageous.

Now Zhang An still has a sum of money in his hand, which is the money from selling ginseng to Ding Yi last time.

Adding up to one hundred thousand, it is at least enough to cover this piece of land.

Youdao means that you have money in your hands and don't panic in your heart.

Zhang An was not in such a hurry at first, but when he heard that others were also contracting, he had no choice but to follow suit.

The land is behind their house, so it must be the best choice for Zhang An.

What if the tea leaves are not planted well after being wrapped up by others, what will they do if they raise pigs on it?

Then my house smells like pig feces every day, so I can't play anymore.

Nothing happened overnight, Zhang An went back to sleep early.

"Notice, notice, all villagers are invited to come to the meeting at the door of the office at eight o'clock, and you must not be absent."

Early in the morning, just as Zhang An woke up, he heard the big horn in the village sound again.

My uncle said last night that today I will hold a meeting with everyone to discuss the land lease.

So I used my uncle to start notifying early in the morning.

Because when you wake up early in the morning, everyone has not gone out to work in the field, and at least one person is at home.

And for things that are generally not important, the old man doesn't use the words must be absent.

Usually, when everyone arrives, they start talking about things.

Zhang got up and washed his face, and found that it was still early after taking a look.

Put a pile of grass for the animals in the pen, and fill the water tank.

Then go to the backyard and water the saplings that have been made.

During this period of time, the autumn tiger is still very strong, and it cannot be watered directly at noon or afternoon.

Water them only in the morning or afternoon when the temperature is not very high.

After finishing all the work that should be done at home, Zhang An closed the door and walked towards the village office.

It was already past 50:[-] at this time, and many people had already arrived at the gate of the drying yard.

Zhang An thought that his father didn't come, but he didn't expect him to come here 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 to go.

But what I said today is a big deal for the village.

But it is also a big event for my family, so Zhang Jianguo also came.

When it was eight o'clock, the old uncle's house made a special effort to see who was not coming.

In the end, there was indeed a missing family in the village, but that family dragged their family to help harvest the crops the day before yesterday.

There was nothing to do about this situation, he had already left, so the old man didn't say anything, and started talking about business.

"The main reason for calling everyone over today is two things."

"The first thing is that this year, there is a policy from above. In the future, the grain will not be collected at the grain supply station. The grain station will directly convert it into money and collect cash."

"That is to say, this year, we don't need to carry food on our shoulders to pay. If we want to pay, we can only pay money."

As soon as the old uncle mentioned this, Zhang An remembered that it seemed that this year the grain was not collected.

"The next thing is the second thing, and everyone needs to think about it."

"A boss came to our village a few days ago and said that he wanted to contract the uncultivated mountain land on the loess slope in our village."

"This matter is a big event for our village, and it is also the first time the village has encountered contracting mountain land."

"Besides, the other party said that our Huangtupo land is not very good, so we can only pay ten yuan per mu."

"But Zhang An told me later that he also wanted to contract that piece of land, and the price was 20 yuan per mu."

"So let's discuss it now to see if we want to contract it out and to whom."

Most people in the village don't care much about the wasteland on Huangtupo.

Now that they heard that someone was willing to pay for the contract, they were too happy to be happy.

After all, it’s a waste to put it there, and each family can get some money after the package is sold out.

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 must be willing to hire people from our own village."

"That's right, and they are only willing to give ten yuan. Zhang An's price is higher than what others offer. We must be willing to give it to Zhang An."

"We also think that it should be entrusted to Zhang An. I know the owner who entrusted the land. He also entrusted a large area at my niece's house, but he paid 20 yuan per mu. Why should he give it to our village for less than half?" , just look down on us."

As soon as the old uncle finished speaking, everyone just thought about it for a while, and then began to express their opinions.

In the end, seeing that everyone had no objections, the old uncle decided to lease the land to Zhang An.

When they went back to discuss last night, they also called their boss.

I asked if the price was willing to be raised over there, and the price could be increased by up to 50.00%.

Even so, not as many as Zhang An.

So this matter was settled without a doubt.

"Since everyone agrees to entrust the collective mountain land to Zhang An, then we are ready to write paper."

"The wasteland costs 20 yuan per mu a year, and the total is 110 mu. Except for our mountain roads, it is calculated as 110 mu of land. Do you have any opinions?"

After the old uncle finished speaking, he saw that everyone had no opinions, so he continued.

"Then it will be calculated on the basis of two thousand and two 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 a maximum of 30 years."

Although Zhang An said last night how long it can be wrapped, but today in front of everyone, Zhang Jianwen asked again.

"Then 30 years."

"For the people, you write paper."

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

When it comes to writing paper, although it is a piece of white rice paper, on it are the terms of the contract written with a brush.

But this piece of paper is more useful in the village than a contract printed out by a printer.

Of course, for the matter of contracting the land, Zhang Jianwen had to go to the town to go through the procedures.

So Zhang An signed his handprint today, and after taking this piece of paper, he will get a contract later.

It was stamped together by the village and the town, and it has legal effect.

Putting the two pieces of paper together, it is equivalent to the legal aspects, and all aspects of the village are guaranteed.

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

Afterwards, several people in the village and village representatives were asked to print their fingerprints, and then Zhang An was asked to sign and print their fingerprints.

And Zhang An also took out several stacks of money from the black plastic bag he was carrying to pay.

The money was given by Ding Yi the last time he came over, and he didn't bother to save it.

Just throw it in the space and store it, even if it is in the bank, it is not as safe as own body insurance.

Originally, Zhang An thought that he could contract for 50 years. After all, the land belongs to the mountainous area, and the contract period should be longer.

But it has not been changed yet, and it can only be contracted for 30 years.

So Zhang An originally felt that the money was not enough now, and planned to pay part of it first, and pay part of it later.

But now I don't need that much money, I have enough money on my body.

Therefore, Zhang An now intends to pay off the contracting fee at once.

Everyone saw that Zhang An paid the money so readily, which caused quite a stir.

Accountant Huang Weimin began to count the quantity, and after counting back and forth several times and found that there was no problem, he made a note in his notebook.

Then he handed the money to the cashier next to him and asked him to count it too.

After the money was paid and the signature was signed, Zhang An could make full use of this wasteland in the village in the future.

At this time, Zhang An was actually quite excited.

In the two lifetimes combined, I have never experienced the feeling of being a landlord.

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

Zhang Jianguo next to him thought he wanted to go to the bathroom and told him to go quickly.

No matter where, for whom.

The village is rich, and everyone's eyes are wide open, looking at the old uncle.

This money is the collective property of the village, and every family has a share.

So now everyone is looking at the cashier next to the old village head, his money bag is bulging.

There used to be more than 90 households in Changqing Village. At that time, the nearby Wangjiachong and Maocaoping belonged to the village group of Changqing Village.

But later, because the two villages were far away from Changqing Dazhai, and the population of the village was increasing.

So the town agreed that they would be divided into a separate village.

Later, Changqing Dazhai suddenly lost dozens of families.

Now from Shangzhai to Xiazhai, there are a total of [-] or so villagers.

Some people who know how to count can probably figure out how much each family can get by doing a little calculation in their minds.

Even if most people are illiterate and can't count, the brand new stacks of RMB are there.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, the old uncle naturally understood what everyone meant.

"Don't stare at me, everyone, or I will feel uncomfortable."

"I know that everyone has seen so much money, and some people have calculated how much each family can share."

"For the time being, I decided not to distribute this money to everyone. Let's think about it, some time ago, our village went to the town to ask for money for several months in order to build roads, but we just didn't get a penny."

"The old man said that he has no money, and the dwarves have three points."

"Everyone knows that the village has never had any income, and they don't usually ask everyone to pay for anything, except for the last time when the road was built, everyone voluntarily donated it. This is the first public asset of our village."

"So I think the money will be put in the village first, and it will be convenient to see where the money will be spent in the village in the future."

"If the money has not been spent before the Chinese New Year, or if there is still a lot left, I will call everyone together before that year, and then divide the money, so that everyone can enjoy the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Now it's divided, and some people run out of it in twos and twos. Don't you feel sore when you watch other people eat meat during the Chinese New Year?"

"Although the conditions in our village are not very good, I haven't heard of anyone who can't afford food. If someone's family is really too difficult and can't afford food, just wait for the money to live, then come and find me, and the village will find a way for you. , everyone said it’s okay.”

Hearing that the old man said that money is not divided, everyone is a little uncomfortable.

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

It is very difficult in the village, there is no money, and every time I go to the town to ask for money, I am like a beggar.

In the end, people are still reluctant to give you a little charity.

Especially as the old uncle said, if there are no major events in the village and the money is not spent.

During the Chinese New Year, it will be distributed to everyone so that everyone can have a good year. This proposal has won everyone's support.

Because no one in the village is short of this money to buy rice for cooking.

On the contrary, if it is divided now, maybe the family will run out of it in a few clicks.

So in the end, although the money was not distributed, in everyone's opinion, it was kept in the village.

It's not bad to wait until the Chinese New Year to take out the points. Anyway, everyone thinks that the roads in the village have been repaired, and there should be no place to spend money.

Even a few families still want to divide the money first, because they feel that what they get is their own.

But what is emphasized now is that the minority must obey the majority. Everyone agrees, and the few have no choice but to give up.

"Mom, you put this away."

As soon as Zhang An returned home, he gave the paper written by the village to his mother.

Wang Fang also loves money, but the money has been exported, and she can't get it back.

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

"I see that the seedlings you made are almost grown. When do you plan to start transplanting?"

When he came back just now, Zhang Jianguo went to see the saplings cultivated by Zhang An.

They are growing well and can be transplanted now.

"Wait a little longer, wait for the temperature to come down in a few days, or I won't be able to bear moving the sapling now."

Although the land has already been obtained, and the saplings in the backyard can also be transplanted.

But this period of time 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 planting and the temperature has dropped a bit.

Then start preparing for planting trees. Spring is not the only time suitable for planting trees in the mountains.

It can also be planted in autumn, but it may need to be watered more at that time, so take care of it.

"But if you move it in a few days, will it be too late? What if the weather cools down just after planting?"

"Dad, it will take a long time for us to plant it by ourselves, so I plan to spend some money to hire a few more people to help, and it will be enough to plant it in a few days."

If Zhang An's family were to plant trees on such a large mountain, how long would it take to plant them?

So Zhang An decided to spend money to hire people from the beginning, which is why Zhang An thought about transplanting after a while.

Because during this period of time, everyone has just finished the autumn harvest, and then they will be busy with the autumn planting.

Everyone has to do the work in their fields first.

"Then how many people do you need to hire? It will cost a lot of money, or let's just hire some human workers."

Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang still didn't want to spend more money. They couldn't accept that it would cost hundreds of dollars a day to invite so many people.

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

In the end, Zhang An talked badly and persuaded his parents.

The older generation is like this. They love money everywhere, and they all want to save money if they can.
