Film Variety: Encountering Xu Hongdou at the beginning

"They have weathered the ups and downs of life for decades, and it's not your first time starting a business. They will have confidence in you."

"Besides, you don't want to start a business. Now that you've quit, what will you do in the future? Officially help Brother Yao manage the industry? Or go back to meditate?"

"That's okay, take your parents over, take care of them together, and let Brother Yao introduce you to a daughter-in-law."

Feng Lidong poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, how could Ma have been living under others for a long time? A small soldier wants to be a general."

Mr. Ma was still thinking about the previous words.

But after hearing the last words, my whole body immediately shook to express my rejection.

"That's it, since we're on the road, let's go on and talk about it later."

Feng Lidong spread his hands and said nonchalantly.

Master Ma didn't reply when he heard this, and drank tea quietly.

"Hey, I almost made you confused, forgetting important things."

Xie Zhiyao suddenly slapped his thigh, startling everyone present.

The tea in Mr. Ma's hand spilled.

It was so hot that he groaned.

The cup fell.

"What a big deal, can you calm down?"

Feng Lidong gave him a dumbfounded look.

"That's right. There are dozens of old houses and earthen warehouses at the end of the village near the Ancient Tea Horse Road."

"Ahem, don't look at me like that."

"I'll just tell you."

Xie Zhiyao's voice dropped as he spoke.

Because when he saw Feng Lidong's strange eyes, he couldn't help but stop with a guilty conscience.

"You don't think I took down all those old houses and renovated them, do you?"

"Why don't you ask me to take down the abandoned Taihe City next to it and transform it together?"

Feng Lidong said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, that's what I'm saying. Look, the engineering team you hired is so powerful, and the old house now has a look."

Xie Zhiyao scratched his head sheepishly.

Feng Lidong thought he was coming back for something, but it turned out to be this idea.

101 The village director also risked his life

Yunmiao Village is just a small village on the ancient Tea Horse Road. The village was formed in the Yuan Dynasty.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a section of the Dali Ancient Post Road and a part of the Dali section of the Yunnan-Tibet Ancient Tea Horse Road.

It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, isolated and independent.

Completely preserving historical and cultural imprints.

It still looks like a primitive farming society.

The head of the village is where the caravans and supplies were stored during their breaks.

So there are horse shops and earthen warehouses there.

But with the development of modern society.

The horse shop and earth warehouse are no longer in use.

So it was abandoned there.

In fact, if it is the first time to Yunmiao Village.

Maybe you can’t find where the village is at the first time.

Stand on the ancient road and look at the village.

The silent ancient roads and collapsed houses at the end of the village may make you stop at the end of the village.

Abandoned houses, overgrown ruins.

All may put you off.

It even enriches the writer's power of association.

Maybe he could sit on the floor and write the next "shocking" tomb robbing notes.

But when you walk in you go over a small road.

You will feel like you are in another world.

Walk along the bluestone road.

Weeds grew wildly on both sides of the road, and moss covered the khaki walls.

From time to time, someone is holding a horse, and a lone tourist sits on it.

Walking slowly, the sound of horse bells is long and gentle.

On both sides of the ancient road are earthen warehouses built with piles of stones.

The dilapidated loess walls of the old house are covered with vines.

The decaying window lattice is hidden deep in the flowers and trees.

Some of the earthen walls have collapsed.

The people of Ranqiang all live on the mountain and build stones as treasures.

The foundation of the house made of piled stones seems to be indestructible.

There is no trace of the tempering of the years on it.

It just stays there.

It's as if it was born there.

People just used its body to build their own shelters.

And now because Xie Zhiyao returned to his hometown to start a business.

The infrastructure of the village was built.

Plus his promotion online.

It attracted a group of hermits or young people who escaped from the world.

Therefore, some old houses that have been repaired still retain the flavor of the years.

Just rent it out to reclusive artists or artistic young people who want to escape from the world.

They either run handicraft workshops, coffee shops, or B&Bs.

But there are still a large number of ancient houses that remain in place.

Let vines and weeds grow on them.

Xie Zhiyao wouldn't have dared to make any plans there before.

Because the funds needed to renovate those ancient houses are huge.

Their ancient charm and traces of time must be preserved.

It’s doomed that you can’t start over.

Otherwise, the village will lose its original charm.

And he has no money.

But it's different now.

Feng Lidong is back.

So when he just left the village and saw it, he asked his brother on a whim.

From now on, Yunmiao Village became popular.

The village head is more convenient for doing business.

"It's not that I don't want to take over the renovation, it's just that it's not suitable."

Feng Lidong said slowly.

"Tell me?"

Xie Zhiyao asked doubtfully.

"Yunmiao Village is neither yours nor mine."

"Now that I have taken over the contract, people in the whole village may call me stupid, because now only a few dozen people come to play every day."

"But you and I both know the potential of this village."

"After launching the promotional video campaign, even if thousands of people come here every day, it will be an incredible achievement."

"At that time, many people will want to build B&Bs or something like that, but the village will definitely not grant land."

"Even though they are dismissive now, many of them have moved out to live in new villages, but at that time the villagers will definitely make trouble."

"So the old houses there will either be rented to people who come to live in seclusion in the future, or they will be left to the villagers to build after the village becomes popular for tourism."

"Or maybe the village committee is doing it on its own now, and the money I paid for contracting the old house is enough for them to start the repair work."

Feng Lidong expressed his thoughts.

After he finished speaking, Xie Zhiyao said nothing and fell into deep thought.

Most of the people living in Yunmiao Village are elderly people.

Because they cannot leave their homeland.
