Reborn Cultural Empire

164. Tongue

Looking at the thick stack of materials in front of him, the pen writing on it is not very elegant, but very neat.But for a reborn person who is accustomed to using computers in later generations, being able to do this is already very satisfying.

Rubbing his sore and swollen wrist, Yang put the last piece of material paper on the bottom position, and then tidied it up.Looking at these things in his hands, and thinking of Yang Jian's words yesterday afternoon, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

There was some contempt and ridicule in the little girl's words, but he was not very angry.Because Yang Yi can more or less see that this girl is no longer that heartless girl who doesn't know what worries are, he doesn't know what Yang Jian has experienced in the past few years, he only knows that this childhood playmate has matured a little , but also very able to distinguish the ways of the world.

The camp she belongs to is her family, and because of the conflict of interests in her family, Yang Yi's family is fighting against each other.

Both sides have reasons to protect their own interests, and both have reasons not to lose. Although Yang Hailong is the one who takes the initiative to attack, when this kind of collision occurs, he naturally puts right and wrong behind him early on, and only thinks about how to win. Take immediate victory.

The so-called prosperity in the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, that's all.

So when Yang Jian, who was deeply influenced by his own family, met his former friends again after three years, he could only face each other coldly.

……

After lunch early at noon, at twelve o'clock noon, the outside of the Yang family ancestral hall was already crowded with people. Among the three surnames of Xizhi, the Yang surname accounted for nearly half of the population of nearly 100, but among these people , and only adult men can participate in the ancestral hall meeting. In addition, this time it is mainly aimed at the residents on both sides of the old street along the river. There are only more than [-] people who can really speak and make decisions.

And the rest of the women and children, gossip in the streets and alleys, and resume the life of years ago.

Naturally, Yang Yi will also follow. According to the rules here, he does have the right to enter the ancestral hall to worship—as long as a man who can sit at the head table at home has the right to enter the ancestral ancestral hall, but If it is said to speak at the ancestral hall meeting, it is far from qualified.

In fact, Yang Tianying didn't intend to bring Yang Yi with him, only the three older brothers, Yang Weidong, and his eldest son Yang Weiguo went to the ancestral hall.

But Yang Yi didn't expect that he had been beating on the sidelines for a long time, and Yang Tianying didn't let go of his intentions, but instead provoked a half-stern and half-hearted admonition: "Okay, Xiaoyi, I also know how you feel, but This annual meeting above the head does not mean that men from every family can participate. As long as you have this kind of heart, you should go to your own business and take care of your younger brothers and sisters. If you want to go, wait until NO. 15 Our family will go there by ourselves."

After speaking, he led the men in the family to the ancestral hall. Looking at the solemn backs of the old people, Yang Yi felt that he could imagine their mentality as if they were rushing to the battlefield, which was vaguely heroic.

But he still secretly followed behind. Whether he has the right to speak is another matter, but he has the right to go and see anyway.

On a field the size of a basketball court and a half, there is a strong old tree on both sides. The westernmost position, sitting west and facing east, is a building that occupies a large area. The verandah, the main hall, and the dormitory are all paved with bluestone strips.In a place like the Jiangnan water town, where the river network is criss-crossed and every inch of land is precious, the Yang Family Ancestral Hall can be described as vast.

But now, the elders of the seventeen branches of the Yang family all gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall, and after bringing their respective clansmen to pay homage to their ancestors, they filed out from inside and laid out on the ground in front of the ancestral hall. Stance.

In this kind of clan meeting, the oldest generation lined up at the entrance of the ancestral hall and sat down, while the younger generation stood on the field. Young people stand or squat around the outermost part of the ancestral hall.

But today, in addition to worshiping the ancestors, there are also important matters related to the Yang family to discuss, so Yang Hailong also got a seat in the front row for the first time.

Standing in the crowd, Yang Yi didn't dodge, instead he stood upright and aboveboard, huddled together with those uncles.In this way, it is natural that some people will look at him with strange and warning eyes, but now that the ancestral hall meeting has started and the most important ancestor worship ceremony has passed, there is no yelling to drag him out.

The discussion over there has already started, and after speaking a few words to the first old man, he called Yang Hailong to stand up and speak, explaining clearly to everyone about the acquisition of land and houses on both sides of Yanhe Old Street.

After Yang Hailong stood up, he bowed to a row of elderly people in front of him, paused his eyes on Yang Tianying and several other people, then turned to the crowd on the field, and said with a smile: "What I want to say at the ancestral hall meeting today In fact, everyone basically knows the matter, but according to the rules of our Yang family, we still have to bring it here for discussion! So, I will explain it to you in detail. "

After finishing speaking, he bent down, opened a black box at his feet, took out stacks of photocopied materials from inside, handed them to a brother in his family, and asked him to distribute them all over the place. He raised his hand and said, "Be quiet, everyone. These materials are the specific terms of the acquisition of real estate. The house, courtyard, waterway, and public land have clear acquisition rules."

After a short pause, he smiled again: "Everyone can read the above clauses carefully, and they are all clear. If there is anything you don't understand, I will explain it to everyone on the spot. In short, there is one rule, which is fair and open. "

After saying this, he deliberately turned his eyes to Yang Tianying and the others who were looking up. They seemed to be smiling with the victory in their hands, and there was a meaningful message in their eyes.It is clear that today will not give up until the goal is achieved, and it also appears to be very confident.

"Hai Long, please explain clearly to everyone that you bought the purpose of Yanhe Old Street. Many people only know that you want to buy land, but they don't know what you bought it for." Uncle Yang Hailong ordered lightly from the side, Give your nephew a boost.

Yang Hailong nodded, and saw that some people had already browsed the next contract materials in a hurry, so he said loudly: "Everyone knows, I, Yang Hailong, have made a little money outside these years, and I have traveled all over the country to see it. The first time I went to some tourist spots outside, I found that some places were far worse than our Xizhi, but they were very popular, and the people there were rich because of their tourism. So I thought, our Xizhi With such good conditions, why can’t we also develop a tourism industry?”

"Don't we have people coming here all the time?" An old man in front of Yang Hailong asked, "Let's not talk about people coming here every month, even in places as far away as Yangcheng, there are people who have heard of us. Are you still selling your ancestral property for tourism?"

"Uncle Eleven, that's different. They are all organized and scaled. Let's not talk about it far away, let's talk about how many tourists can we receive in a day and how much money can we earn? Our conditions in Xizhi are better. Why? Can't catch up with others?"

The people below whispered, and the group of old men in front also exchanged opinions, and then waited for Yang Hailong's next words.

"Why do you have to buy Yanhe Old Street? The main thing is to build a word of mouth and a brand, so that when tourists from other places mention Xizhi, they will think 'oh, there is a very famous Yanhe Old Street, it is worth visiting' . Otherwise, like now, everyone will do their own thing and earn pocket money, which is meaningless!"

Yang Hailong's rhetoric is one set, but the residents of these ancient towns naturally have their own simple standards for measuring value, and someone asked below: "Even if everyone sells the land to you, it's not you who make money after developing it, what good is there for us? "

Hearing the townspeople's questioning, Yang Hailong nodded and shouted to the other side: "Well said!"

Then he explained patiently: "Everyone thinks that I made money from you by doing this thing, but have you ever thought that I also need to invest in this matter? Don't say anything else, just be an old man. The living area of ​​the house is replaced one by one with the house in the urban area, so you don’t suffer? Not to mention other compensations.”

After a pause, Yang Hailong smiled and analyzed again: "Actually, this is secondary. As I said just now, the most important thing is to build up the reputation of our Xizhi. Although it is said that Xizhi is an 'Yanhe Old Street', they will After coming here, can’t you go back and see other places? Traveling is to be popular, as long as you are popular, you will have everything!”

The uncle of Yang Hailong next to him added in a timely manner: "In Hailong's business, those who sell the house will not suffer. Even if they don't live on both sides of Yanhe Old Street, they will benefit infinitely. Generally speaking, it is definitely beneficial and harmless. Yourselves Think about it, is that the case?"

If Jiang is still old and hot, Uncle Yang Hailong's words will immediately be supported by those residents who don't live on both sides of the old street along the river - selling a house has nothing to do with me, and when the time comes, the popularity of my hometown will be strong, and I will also be the beneficiary , no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing!

As a result, the discussions began in a low voice, and many people who originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with them were now mobilized to think about the "money" scene with the people around them.

"Also! The replacement of the old houses here with the new ones in the urban area, besides transferring the household registration to the city, it is much better for the children to go to school and see a doctor than in the town?" Yang Hailong grasped the mentality that being a parent is for the next generation , spared no effort to confuse, but at this point, it really aroused many people's hearts.

A man with a child squeezed forward and asked, "Hai Long, you only buy the house along the old street along the river? You don't want the house in Muxiang here?"

Although Yang Hailong has been doing work, and today he repeated the benefits of selling land and exchanging houses at the ancestral hall meeting, there are still many residents along the old street who have not made up their minds.

On the contrary, many townspeople who are not from Yanhe Old Street were very moved by Yang Hailong's proposal. It's a pity that his own house was not liked by others. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the clan meeting, they asked it out in public.

"Everyone is from the same village in the town, and they are all from the Yang family. I don't want to favor one over another." Yang Hailong sighed helplessly: "However, my funds are limited, so I can set an example for everyone. In other places, It will just have to wait until later.”

While talking, he cupped his hands and apologized, his face full of helplessness.

But his expression is not fake, if he has sufficient funds, Yang Hailong will really take down the whole Xi Zhi.For Yang Hailong, who has a broad vision and a lively mind, this ancient town is like unpolished puyu. When the tourism industry is really developed, who would be willing to sell the house to him?

Although Yang Hailong is almost about to burst into a lotus flower, for a small number of people whose ancestors grew up in Xizhi for generations, and then returned to this land, they are still not very willing.

Among this group of people, most of them are old people. Although it seems that Yang Hailong's conditions are quite fair and reasonable, they are not very attractive to these old people who have a strong sense of the countryside.

"Hai Long, it's not that we don't want to support you, and we don't want to see the town develop. It's because our ancestors' property can't be bought."

Yang Hailong nodded repeatedly, seeming to understand the thoughts of these old people, but then changed the subject: "Third Uncle, you can do this, and change houses with your son. It's like your house is in Yanhe Old Street, but ah Brother Qing’s house is on the gate tablet. If the father and son exchange houses, your old man will stay in the town, and brother Aqing can bring his family to the city to develop. What do you think of this method? Not to mention the best of both worlds, you can also Solve a lot of problems?"

After all, Yang Hailong had been in business, and he had come up with corresponding countermeasures early on. As soon as he said this, the man he called "Brother Ah Qing" also eagerly looked at his father from the bottom, obviously very upset. intentional movement.
