"Yes!" Cui Sheng said, "This village, and another village near here. The two villages that I said are going to be merged are the most remote places. We set up in this village.
It is a primary school, but the population of these two villages is not very large. There are only about 300 people in total, and there are not many students. There are only about ten people in a class at most... That's why we decided to merge this place and let it go.
They all moved out, which saved us a lot of resources."
Three hundred people!
Quite a few!
"Let's go, I'll take you to have a meal first. I've already made an agreement with the village elder Yao here. They've already prepared the meal." Cui Sheng said and took them to one of the houses in the village.
.
"Mayor Cui!" Someone was already standing outside the yard waiting for them. When they saw Cui Sheng, they quickly stepped forward to shake hands.
"Village Chief Yao, let me introduce you. This is Mayor Long, and this is Boss Chen."
"Oh, I've heard of it a long time ago, Mayor Long, Boss Chen!"
"Don't call me boss, just call me by my name." Chen Yang laughed.
"Come on, come on, come in and sit down. After walking on the mountain road for so long, I must be hungry. Come on over to eat. Come on in, come on..."
The smell of rice filled the room, and Lao Yao's wife was busy there.
When it is served on the table, apart from the seasonal vegetables, the bacon is the most conspicuous.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome!" Lao Yao was very enthusiastic.
The local bacon in the mountains is really fragrant, and Chen Yang can't help but say it's delicious when he eats it.
"After the children finish primary school here, they have to go to middle school in the town, right?"
"That's right!" Lao Yao nodded and said, "Well, it's difficult for us to go out here. You said the children suffer a lot when they go to school."
Chen Yang nodded and went to school from here in the town. This kind of mountain road is difficult for even a bicycle to ride. It is really not easy for a teenage child to walk on two legs.
"What do the people in your village think about the village merger?" Chen Yang asked.
Lao Yao sighed and said, "The merging of villages is a good thing. In fact, we also want to go out to live, but... we still have a lot of people, and there is a small mountain village on our side. There are still a lot of people in the two villages. If this is the case,
If we go out together, we may end up in different places, and if we go out together and have no fields, how can we... make a living?"
One of the biggest problems in merging villages is land.
Because the current land cannot be redistributed, that is to say, although these villagers can live in houses, they have no fields.
For farmers, this is very fatal, and it is also one of the problems that makes them unwilling to move out.
Chen Yang seemed to understand what Cui Sheng meant.
"So if you go out, I have to solve the field problem for you, right?"
Old Yao laughed dryly.
"When we asked them to move out before, people in their village said it was okay. Let the children move out, maybe let the mother live there with the children, and those who are elderly or laborers will continue to farm here.
Tian, what kind of merging of villages is this? Isn’t this the same as before, we still have to take care of it, and resources still have to be invested, which is equivalent to not merging the village."
Merging villages, on the one hand, is for the sake of the people in the village, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience of the new century to the maximum extent.
On the other hand, we also want to save social costs.
As a result, neither aspect was achieved, but instead the family was separated into two places.
Isn't this Baibing Village?
"If there was a piece of land for you to cultivate down there, you would go down there, right?" Chen Yang asked.
"Chen... Xiao Chen, I heard that you were also a farmer before, right? We farmers just need a piece of land to farm. Yes, we young people have gone to work outside, but... we old people are at home.
Don’t we have to live on a few acres of land? In this way, we can take care of our family. Just the money they earn from working outside is not forbidden. If we go out, we have to buy everything, including vegetables and rice.
It costs money, so tell me..."
This is the simplest idea of rural people.
Chen Yang can understand it very well.
"Mayor Cui, if they arrange to come to our place, we won't have any space to give them." Chen Yang laughed.
Cui Sheng laughed dryly.
"Village Chief Yao, what do you think if I arrange work for everyone?" However, Chen Yang changed the topic.
"Work!" Lao Yao thought for a while.
"Yes!" Chen Yang nodded, "There will be more job opportunities in our new town, and I am also building a factory now, so I will definitely need to recruit people. Many of you may not be in your prime and cannot do those physical jobs, but accordingly
You are still qualified for other jobs such as cleaning and looking at the door, and even if the wages of these jobs are not too high, they are definitely more cost-effective than farming."
Chen Yang is a farmer, so he knows that with those two acres of land, the farmer's annual income is actually very little.
If you exclude the cost of chemical fertilizers and seeds, it is even less.
"this……"
"You don't have to answer me in a hurry!" Chen Yang said, "After we have dinner, you can call the villagers together and let's discuss it together. Since I'm here, I just want to help
I came to solve this matter because I am a farmer, so I understand everyone’s thoughts very well.”
Village Chief Yao looked happy, "Okay, okay, I'll call them all over later."
"By the way, Mayor Cui, isn't there a village nearby? Why don't you call them over? It's best to have a representative from every household. Let's see if we can solve the problem today. I'll see what everyone thinks.
needs.”
"Okay!" Mayor Cui was extremely happy. He likes people like Chen Yang who work vigorously and resolutely.
"That's it, let's eat first."
After dinner, no one came over yet, so Chen Yang took Long Danyang and walked around the village.
"Are you really planning to bring people to our new town?" Long Danyang asked.
"Look at their conditions..." Chen Yang pointed to this place and said, "The scenery is indeed good, but it is too inconvenient. Again, the social cost is too high, and they cannot develop themselves, so they can only
That’s it.”
Long Danyang nodded.
"Actually, there is another question..." Long Danyang thought for a while before saying, "If we really bring them to our new town, where will the money for them to buy the house come from? Even if we can give them some discounts, it is considered a discount.
Give it to them, but it can't be completely free, because you have to consider other people's reasons, and their town is not rich, unlike Uncle Zhao who can use some of the money to help them, so how do we solve it?"
