Reborn to be rich

Chapter 50
"When it comes to planting apple trees, there are quite a few people in the village who have them in their fields. It takes at least three years of maintenance before they can be harvested. The most grown apples here are 'Qinguan' apples. The output is huge but they cannot be sold at all. If the township wants to form an apple tree planting scale earlier, it must select the fruit species and investigate the market." Zhang Guodong said here, only to see Dou Jinpeng secretly giving himself a thumbs up from time to time, and Deputy Township Head Song blushed. I am speechless, Ganjing Township has been going astray before the 21st century, and it was only after the unified regulation of the industry in the whole province that it found its place.

"Captain Zhang, it's all difficult, so we just do nothing and wait? Our location in Ganjing Township is like this. It's very difficult to compete with those towns around the county and urban areas, but We have to overcome difficulties, and we can’t stop doing things just because we find problems.” Bai Xinyi spoke very seriously, so Zhang Guodong kept his mouth shut. thing.

Deputy Township Chief Song hurriedly ended his speech, and the meeting was considered to be over.Walking out of the conference room, Zhang Guodong rode his bicycle back to the village.

As soon as he returned to the village, he saw Zhang Wenbin at the door of a house, and hurried over when Zhang Guodong came back.

"Brother Guodong, hurry up! The school teachers are making trouble to the brigade!"

When Zhang Guodong heard this, he hurriedly turned around and walked to the brigade headquarters.

The principal of Zhangjialing Primary School, surnamed Zhou, is an old teacher who has devoted himself to rural careers for 40 years. When Zhang Guodong came to the brigade headquarters, he saw him waiting at the entrance of the brigade department with 8 teachers.

"Principal Zhou, what's the matter?" Zhang Guodong stepped forward and asked.

"Village chief, the school hasn't paid salary for three months. I'm old and I don't care. Several teachers rely on a little company to make a living. If things go on like this, everyone can't live. You can't just ignore it!" the old principal said. Holding Zhang Guodong's arm and not letting go, Zhang Guodong remembered that Principal Zhou had already been the principal of Zhangjialing Primary School when he was in primary school, and now seeing him looking at him with a begging face, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

"Principal Zhou, don't worry! Let's talk about things slowly. Teachers, don't stand there, go into the room and talk." Zhang Guodong opened the door of the main army, and Principal Zhou walked in with a group of teachers.

"Wen Bin, pour water for the principal and teachers, let's talk slowly!"

Zhang Wenbin poured water on all the teachers, and none of the teachers spoke in a low voice. Teaching in Zhangjialing Village, most of the teachers were from outsiders and did not dare to offend the villagers easily.

After listening to Principal Zhou, Zhang Guodong already understood what was going on. Teachers in Zhangjialing Primary School were all paid by the village. It is true that Zhangjialing is short of the village's account when it comes to teachers' salaries, and the village only paid half of the salaries in the first half of this year and seven months.

"Teachers, you have worked so hard for the continuous work of Zhangjialing Primary School, so that the children in several villages around Zhangjialing can go to school. I am also very grateful! It is true that the village has not paid the salary for these three months. I will find a way to take part of it from the village. How about Qian Xiang helping you reissue some of it? You all go to school first, and your children’s education cannot be delayed. I will personally send the money to the school tomorrow.”

After hearing Zhang Guodong's words, all the teachers stood up happily and quickly thanked them. It is common for the village to owe teachers' wages. Today, Zhang Guodong agreed to repay them, which surprised them.

Principal Zhou left happily with the teachers in the village, but Zhang Guodong stayed in the office but couldn’t be happier. The village now only has more than 1200 funds. He checked that there are 14 teachers in the school, each with a monthly salary of 36 yuan Money, Principal Zhou is 60 a month, and the village will pay half of it in advance, which is nearly 800 yuan. He originally planned to use the money to improve the sanitation environment in the village.

The next morning, Zhang Guodong came to the school with 792 yuan. It was the first class time of the school. Principal Zhou had been waiting at the door. Seeing Zhang Guodong coming, he hurriedly took him into his office.

This office is shared by all the teachers in the 5th and 6th grades of the school. Next to it is the office of the teachers in the 1st to 4th grades. A feature, people rely on it for warmth in winter.

"Village Chief, thank you so much! The two young teachers have been nagging me a few days ago. If they don't pay their wages, they will really not be able to persist. Come sit and drink water!" Principal Zhou took a The enamel bowl and cup poured water for Zhang Guodong.

"Oh, it's not easy! I also know your difficulties. Why are the classrooms on the opposite side so collapsed? There are still children in the classrooms, and there are no other houses in the school?" Zhang Guodong saw a row of classrooms at the door with a roof tile. The tiles have all collapsed, and there are still children studying in it.

"We can't help this. There are 18 houses in the school, one class for each grade 1 to 3, two classes for grade 4, three classes for grade 5 and grade 6, and many houses where teachers live together. Teachers in the village The salary is not enough, how can I manage the classroom affairs!" Principal Zhou said in a low voice, he actually wanted to say that the village had not cared about the school affairs for many years, and he was afraid that Zhang Guodong would be unhappy.

"Okay, take me around the school first! Let me see how the children's learning environment is!" Zhang Guodong got up, and Principal Zhou hurried to the front to help lead the way.

Children in the 10th and 5th grades of the villages around Zhangjialing Primary School go to school here. The classroom environment looks good. There are two people on a table and a stool. The books on the children’s tables look very worn out. The paint surface is almost worn out, and the table top is full of holes. It is basically difficult to find a good table.

"Brother Guodong!"

"Uncle Guodong!"

Some children from Zhangjialing stood up happily when they saw Zhangjialing coming.

"What are you shouting for? Sit down and study hard. If you don't look good in the final exam this time, your parents won't clean you up." The teacher who was lecturing saw Zhang Guodong and Principal Zhou coming in. She stopped the lecture and looked a little embarrassed. She also went to the big army to make trouble yesterday. one of the people.

From the 6th grade area to the first grade, Zhang Guodong's complexion turned out to be more and more ugly. Many desks and chairs of the second and third graders are missing arms and legs. They can see the sky in the classroom when they are less than the first grader. They don't even have desks and stools. Children They sprawled on a table made of painted adobe bricks.

Back in the office, Zhang Guodong sat on the stool without speaking for more than ten minutes, until he heard a teacher ring the bell for the end of get out of class, and he was relieved.

"Call all the teachers here first! Give half of the salary for these three months first, and then make up the rest for you when the teachers in the village get the money."

"This..." Principal Zhou was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Too little? There is not much money in the village now. I tried to make up the wages owed by everyone before this year. Now that get out of class is over, let the teachers come to collect the money!"

"No, there are two teachers who are not in school now, or I will help them get it first, and then give it to them." Principal Zhou was very careful when speaking. Zhang Guodong didn't believe that he would deduct teachers' salaries, so he became curious.

"What? These two teachers asked for leave?"

"This...these two teachers are a bit special. One is Captain Wang's younger sister, and the other is a teacher who was sent to our school by the village leader. They don't come a few times a month..."

"So you're getting paid in name?" Zhang Guodong couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in such a village primary school.

"We used to receive half wages, but they received full wages..."

"Okay, call all the teachers over here! I'll send the money first. As for the two teachers who didn't come, they wanted money and asked me to come to me. I don't believe that the school will open without his account. I can't go down."

When the teachers heard that the village chief was about to pay their salaries, they all happily waited in line at the door of the office. Zhang Guodong handed over the money to the teachers one by one, and seeing their joyful expressions made him feel happy for a while.

"Principal Zhou, I have also seen the situation in our school. This is my own 200 yuan. You take it and buy some food for the teachers. It is my new treat. In addition, I will donate 1000 yuan myself Come out and help the school repair a few classrooms and buy some new desks and stools, my fourth uncle will come over tomorrow to do this, you guys discuss how to use the money best."

"This...how can this be good! The teachers in the village are already very sorry that half of the salary can be repaid... Let the village chief worry about spending money! Don't worry, I don't use any of the 200 yuan, and I will give it to the teacher in charge of the class."

"Just buy some white flour, rice, oil, etc., and just send it to the teacher after you buy it. Remember to sell everything, and send it to whoever you want to keep the account." Zhang Guodong left the office after speaking, some children saw Zhang Guodong After coming out of the teacher's office, they all followed him to fight, looking for you, after Zhang Guodong grilled meat for the whole village last time, the children in the village liked him even more.

After leaving the school, Zhang Guodong went directly to the house of his fourth uncle Zhang Chengdong. Both the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle were skilled in building houses, but the fourth uncle had to come to build the teachers in this school.

"Fourth Uncle, see if this can be done." Zhang Guodong explained his purpose, and Zhang Chengdong listened attentively.

"Building classrooms for children is a good thing! There is no need to put all bricks on them. Using bricks to build a skeleton can save half the money. There will be many helpers in the villages around the school and they don't need much wages. In addition to building 1000 classrooms, and 6 more small teachers’ dormitories can be built.”

"That's fine, fourth uncle, you can do it according to your ideas! The speed is a little faster, and when winter comes, the children in the village will not be able to stand in that kind of classroom."

After explaining to my fourth uncle about building classrooms at the school, Zhang Guodong went to the carpenter Zhang Biaozi's house. Zhang Biaozi heard that he was making tables for the school. He only charged 200 yuan for 320 sets of new tables and chairs, which can only be regarded as a little bit. material fee.

When I got home at noon, it was reported in the second team that Zhang Guodong paid for the school’s private pocket to build the classroom. It turned out that Li Ping came back at noon and told the neighbors everything. Many people went to Zhang Guodong’s house and asked if they still need to donate , They also wanted to contribute.

Zhang Guodong rejected everyone's kindness. Everyone's family situation has just improved. The second team donated money to the school. This is not a good thing for the unity of the entire Zhangjialing Village. Everyone will have it in Qiu Fu's heart. Good things will wait until you are really strong. have the ability to do it.

Lying in bed at night, Zhang Guodong has been thinking about how to get some money for the brigade. The entire Zhangjialing village looks very big, but the annual income of the village brigade is just that much. The money from the collective land has already been collected, and it will wait until the village has money again. He can only wait until next year's autumn harvest, and many of his ideas cannot be implemented without money.

"By the way, isn't there a treasure hidden in the old kiln on Yangyupo? This thing belongs to ordinary people and cannot be touched. It can only be handed over to the country. The value of that set of gold armor alone exceeds one million. The country can give some rewards Isn't it?" Thinking of this, Zhang Guodong couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time, and finally waited until the rooster crowed, so he got up and called his father and second brother who were still sleeping.

"Brother, why are you waking up so late? It's too early to leave work. I filled up the oil on the tractor last night!" Zhang Guotao said with blurred eyes, and Zhang Chenglin, who just opened the door and walked out, was also curious. look at him.

"Second brother, do you still remember the time in Longhua Village?"

"Brother, what treasure did you find again?" Hearing Zhang Guodong's words, Zhang Guotao lost all sleepiness immediately. It's not all because of that treasure hunt that their family can have now.

"This time is a bit special. We can't touch things. Let's look for them first. We'll talk when we find them! Go to the houses of Second Brother, Uncle Qibo, Uncle Nine, and Heizi, and call everyone over."

Hearing Zhang Guodong's words, Zhang Guotao immediately opened the door to call Uncle Jiu and the others. Zhang Chenglin gave him a questioning look. He didn't know why he called all the members of the second team.

"Dad, the ancient tomb I checked this time may be the tomb of a general before the Western Han Dynasty. The general's name was Liu Jingchun. He was a very remarkable figure at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. It was discovered by Shi Shi, and I compared the records at that time, and the tomb of General Liu Jingchun should be in the area south of the Xigou Yampota Mountain in our village."

In addition to some documents issued by the township, the village brigade consists of several thick county and village historical records. Chinese people value ancestors and history, so every village regards these records very important. Yongkang County often has some Ancient tombs have been excavated, from Zhou Dynasty knife coins to Tang Dynasty porcelain, these ancient objects are often found when the village name is cultivated.

Uncle Jiu and the others arrived soon, and it could be seen that they were all woken up by Zhang Guotao. Everyone's eyes were blurred and they were obviously still asleep.

"I'm sorry for bringing everyone together so early, but there is something I want to tell you..." Zhang Guodong repeated what he said to his father just now. is random.

"Guodong, the city's archaeological team came to our village a few years ago and inspected our village for a month, but they didn't find anything famous. What treasures can we find, if there are any, they have already been dug up by others!" Yifeng Uncle obviously didn't take Zhang Guodong's words seriously.

"I checked some information. This Liu Jingchun was a military exploit, and the buried objects must be extraordinary. If we find out and don't go and see, what should others do if they see it and steal it away? They are all national treasures!"
