Chapter 30 Construction
After returning home, Lin Shan asked Xinghua to get off work, then locked the door and went to Lao Genye with two bottles of wine, a few packs of cooked food and canned fish.
"Gen, let's have some drinks." Lin Shan pulled a stool and sat at the dining table as if he was at his own home.
Old Gen looked at Lin Shan in confusion with a cigarette pot in his mouth and asked, "What's wrong? Is it bad? Is the matter not done?"
Lin Shan shook his head and opened the vacuum packaging bag while saying, "It's nothing, I just want to drink some."
"Drink a hammer! I watched you grow up. Can I not know if you have any worries? Tell me quickly, what's going on? Is there a problem with the farm project?" Lao Gen said.
"It has nothing to do with this..." Lin Shan unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, poured two glasses of wine, then picked up the glass and wanted to drink it.
But Old Gen stopped him with a cigarette pole, stared at him and said, "If you don't say anything, just get out of here and don't show this bad face in front of me."
"You always ask me to have a glass of wine, okay?" Lin Shan said with a wry smile.
Old Gen glared at Lin Shan for a while, and then slowly took off the cigarette pole.
Lin Shan raised his head and let out a glass of wine. He then said, "I fell in love with a woman in a city and had sex with her..."
"You boy..." Old Gen jumped up immediately, waved his hand and slapped Lin Shan on the head, saying with a grudge: "How can you do such a thing? Is it someone who wants you to be responsible?"
"It's not what you thought, she was voluntarily..." Lin Shan covered his head and explained quickly.
Old Gen looked at Lin Shan with some confusion, sat down slowly, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on, explain it clearly."
Lin Shan picked up the bottle and filled it with him, then touched Mr. Gen. The two men took a few sips. Lin Shan then continued: "She wants me to live in the county town, but I don't want to go, so she refused... I guess we might be done..."
"Are you stupid? You asked you to live in the county town, but don't you want to go? I'm really angry with you. Now how many people have sharpened their heads and want to drill into the city. If you have this opportunity, you actually push it out..." Old Gen immediately wanted to beat Lin Shan again.
Lin Shan quickly raised his hand to protect his head and said, "Gen Ye, you don't know me. I like to stay in the village, otherwise I would have gone out to work with everyone back then. Besides, if I went to the city, who would have done the farm project I just planned?"
"You are willing to watch the village continue to be poor? It is obvious that a village with more than 400 people now has only about 200 people, and they are all old, young, women, children, sick and disabled. In the long run, when the children grow up, they all follow their parents to live in the city. The elderly gradually die, and in the end there may be a deserted grave left, and our village is completely finished."
"This is the world now! If you want to get married, you have to go to the city to buy a house and a car. Who would like to marry into this poor mountain valley? Shanzi, listen to my advice, go to the county town, it's better not to do anything about the breeding farm, your life is more important." Old Gen sighed, obviously a little confused.
Lin Shan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Gen Ye, you don't have to persuade me. I won't go to the county town! What's good about it? Air pollution, water pollution, and I don't feel at ease with food and drink. I just started breeding in the village. After success, I made a lot of money. Are you still worried about not having a wife? In the future, I will build roads, sell our agricultural products, and do tourism, build farmhouses, so that everyone in the city can run to us. By then, our Xiaowa Village will be a good place that everyone yearns for."
"Shanzi, can what you said be realized?" Lao Gen asked after a long time of silence.
Lin Shan nodded heavily and said confidently: "It will definitely be achieved! Our farm will definitely succeed!"
"Okay! Be ambitious! Come on, just by your words, I will toast you!" Old Gen slapped the table, picked up the wine glass and touched Lin Shan, raised his head and drank it dry.
"Shanzi, since you have decided, I will no longer advise you, so work hard! There is a saying that goes, why don't a good man have no wives? As long as you are excellent, there will naturally be a good woman who is willing to marry you!"
Lin Shan seemed to have been told that he had a knot in his heart, and he smiled relaxedly and said, "What you always say is! Then let's do a good job!"
This night, the two of them drank very well, but they didn't drink too much, because they spent most of their time talking about the farm.
The next morning, Lin Shan signed a mountain contract with the village committee under the witness of the old village chief Lin Laogen, the village accountant Lao Cai, and several village representatives, and contracted the entire back mountain.
Because there is a Fengshan Forestry area, trees cannot be cut down, and the land is barren and cannot be planted, so the rent is also very cheap.
But you have to pay a rental fee of 50,000 yuan every year. After all, the area is here, with a radius of dozens of miles.
Many villagers don’t understand, what’s the use of wrapping such a barren mountain?
Trees are not allowed to be cut down and cannot be farmed. If someone else is giving them for nothing, no one wants them.
But Lin Shan spent 50,000 yuan to contract. Many people said that Lin Shan was kicked by a donkey in the head.
Of course, Lin Shan also heard these rumors, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he still spoke with facts.
When you make money, these rumors will naturally disappear.
After the contract was signed, Lin Shan paid the rent for one year, which is 50,000 yuan. At this time of each year, Lin Shan would pay the rent for the next year, otherwise it would be dealt with as a breach of the contract.
This is the biggest discount for Linshan, after all, it is a contracted period of 70 years.
According to convention, you have to pay a rent of five or ten years first to make it reasonable. There has never been such a precedent for paying it once a year.
All of this is thanks to the old village chief for his strong support.
After the back mountain contract, Linshan began to carry out large-scale construction.
To choose a site to build a chicken coop, sheep pen, livestock shed, and to pull a fence on the edge, you have to build a house. After all, there are so many domestic animals that you have to live here and watch.
There are many things, but fortunately, Lao Gen, Lao Cai, Lao Pao and others help.
Lin Shan didn't let them work in vain. Each person paid 100 yuan a day, so they were asked to look for someone to work, and they were considered as supervisors in charge.
Linshan is responsible for providing funds, purchasing materials, and grasping the overall situation.
In fact, he is indeed not as good as these elders in terms of details.
It’s like building a livestock shed. He doesn’t know what to build, how to build, and how much material is needed, but Uncle Pao knows it well.
Lin Shan just needs to buy building materials according to the numbers given by Uncle Pao.
Most of the craftsmen who work are invited by Lao Gen from all over the countryside based on his own relationship, and the price is fair.
Generally, the small work of moving the resistance is left to the elderly, young, women and children in the village, which can increase the income somewhat.
Lin Shan knew that it was not easy for people in the village, so he gave him money every day.
Because we were happy to give money, everyone worked so hard that they even asked to go to Linshan's house to ask for a job.
This gave Lin Shan a headache. It would offend people directly, but it was unrealistic to accept them all.
In the end, Lao Gen came forward and took over the trouble, which made Lin Shan relieved.
