Journey to the Heavens from the Mountain God

Chapter 7 Contracting Mountains and Forests
Looking at those novels about farming, it is extremely simple for the protagonist to contract the mountains and forests.But in actual operation, I just realized how troublesome it is. After going through various procedures, it took more than a month to complete various documents.

Wang Mingzhen's family has contracted more than 100 mu of mountain forest this time. It is just in front of his house, next to the village road, and the transportation is very convenient.The contract has been signed for 50 years, and the rent is 100 yuan per mu per year, paid annually.

As for why the hilltop where the mountain temple is located was not contracted, firstly it was too eye-catching, and secondly, the village would not allow it.Besides, this mountain forest is closer to his home, next to the small hill where the mountain temple is located, and belongs to the radiating range of the mountain god's domain, so naturally Wang Mingzhen will not object.

After contracting the forest, the most troublesome thing is the felling of the forest trees, which requires various procedures.Even if Wang Mingzhen was only preparing relevant materials, and his father was running the specific procedures, the level of trouble still made his scalp tingle.

Logically speaking, those trees in the mountain forest belong to the village collective, and the village should arrange for people to cut and deal with these trees.But in reality, this is not the case. The trees in the mountain forest are all miscellaneous numbers such as fir trees, and most of them are not mature and cannot be sold at a price.

And to find someone to log, at least 300 yuan per person per day.The logging work in the [-]-acre mountain forest requires at least ten people and takes a month to complete, which means that only labor costs about [-] yuan, which has exceeded the value of those trees.

Therefore, when the agreement was signed, Wang Mingzhen's family was responsible for felling these trees, and his family also handled the trees themselves, without any interference from the village.Even with the help of the village, it still took a month or so to go through the logging procedures. The cumbersome procedures made Wang Mingzhen's scalp tingle in retrospect.

Wang Mingzhen couldn't help being very thankful that his father was very helpful and helped him deal with all kinds of human affairs.Otherwise, on his own, he might not be able to complete all the procedures even if he was given another month.

By the time all the formalities were completed, it was already early May.But then they got stuck in finding lumberjacks. Almost all the young and middle-aged people in the nearby villages and towns went to the cities to work. There was a serious shortage of labor, and it was naturally very difficult to find enough lumberjacks.

At this time, his father's contacts played a role, and within a few days he found a dozen old men to allow the logging work to continue.It took a full month to clean up the trees and weeds.

The felled trees were sold by his father to a furniture factory in the town at an extremely low price.Counting the logging labor, food expenses, etc., the net loss is probably more than 2 yuan, and it really is the village's abacus!
Next, his father asked someone to build a fence around the forest, and ordered fruit tree seedlings and so on.When the plantation was initially formed and filled with seedlings of various fruit trees, it cost about 30 yuan, which can be described as a waste of money.

For those rich people, 30 may be just a meal.But for Wang Mingzhen's parents, it was a huge sum of money that could only be saved after several years of frugality.Not to mention that all their savings have already been bought by Wang Mingzhen in Handong City.

His parents didn't expect to spend so much money to contract the mountain forest, but when they realized it, it was already hard to get off.That is to say, Wang Mingzhen received more than [-] monthly remuneration, so his parents reluctantly agreed with him to act like this.

After all, with such a large amount of income every month, even if the contracted mountain forest loses everything, it will not have too much impact on the family.With no worries, his parents don't have to bear too much pressure, so they are naturally willing to support Wang Mingzhen's business.

The more than 100 mu of mountain forest was divided into ten areas by Wang Mingzhen. Each area is about [-] mu. Common fruits such as apples, pears, fragrant pears, nectarines, peaches, kumquats, green dates, oranges, grapefruits, and grapes are planted respectively.

On the top of the small hill, Wang Mingzhen reserved more than an acre of open space to build a country villa.The procedures for the homestead have been completed. Although some do not meet the regulations, they are not so strict in the village, it just costs a little more money.

After the fruit trees were planted, without Wang Mingzhen's reminder, his parents raised more than 1000 chickens in the forest, adopted two domestic dogs, and sprinkled a lot of watermelon seeds.With his parents in charge, Wang Mingzhen didn't need to bother at all, everything was taken care of in an orderly manner.

Wang Mingzhen just secretly performed a supernatural power of harvesting crops and prospering domestic animals.These two kinds of supernatural powers are scoped supernatural powers, and the amount of divine power consumed is closely related to the range covered by the supernatural powers.

According to Wang Mingzhen's experiments, a little supernatural power can only cover an area of ​​ten acres, and the prosperity of six animals can cover about a thousand poultry.The effect of supernatural powers is very obvious, and Wang Mingzhen is very satisfied.

The fruit tree saplings that were not picked at first grew very well under the influence of supernatural powers, and even the watermelon seeds that had just been planted germinated.Those free-range chickens are also full of vitality, embellishing the whole mountain forest with vitality.

Even with the supernatural blessing of a bountiful harvest, it would take at least two years for those fruit trees to bear fruit.But watermelon is different, it only takes about three months to mature, so Wang Mingzhen focused more on watermelon.

While Wang Mingzhen continued his ordinary life of farming and writing online novels, he began to wait patiently for the watermelon to ripen, to see if the effect of the magical power of harvesting grains was as miraculous as described in the attribute panel.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and those watermelons are almost ripe.Those watermelons that bear fruit earlier are basically about ten catties in size, and Wang Mingzhen can't bear it any longer. He often goes to knock on the watermelons to listen to the sound to see if the watermelons are ripe.

These watermelons are all black-skinned and seedless watermelons. First, Wang Mingzhen prefers to eat seedless watermelons. Second, the price of seedless watermelons is relatively high and the economic benefits are greater.

Later, Wang Mingzhen couldn't bear the temptation, so he secretly picked a watermelon and came back.Although the watermelon is not yet fully ripe, the dark black stripes are like black gemstones, and it looks very good.

Of course, although the appearance of watermelon is important, the taste is even more important.Wang Mingzhen first washed the watermelon with clean water, and then cut it open with a kitchen knife. Suddenly, there was a faint fragrance, which made him move his index finger.

Wang Mingzhen couldn't wait to take a big bite, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten up.The flesh of this watermelon is sweet, with a cool and refreshing feeling, and it is extremely delicious.The watermelon, which was less than ten catties, entered his stomach in the blink of an eye, and the spontaneous sense of happiness made him a little stupefied.

Wang Mingzhen did not expect that in addition to increasing the growth rate and yield of plants, the supernatural power of Wugu Fengdeng can also make the fruits more delicious, which is simply called the effect of heaven.This made him understand that these supernatural powers still have a deep potential to be tapped!
