Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 167: Intrigue, honest people can also be petty
"Okay, just wait a moment while I finish the meal."

Li Muyang put the noodles into his mouth in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and then grinned and said, "Why, is Brother Jianshe doing this because of that?"

"That's right. If this matter isn't resolved, I won't be able to live with it, right?"

"That's the truth, but it really doesn't work in this place."

Li Muyang put the bowl on the stool.

"I told you the specific reason the day before yesterday. It's really not convenient.

Let's just say that we have to put the overall situation first, but we can't sacrifice our own interests just because of the overall situation, don't you think? "

"Yes, yes, what you said is definitely correct, it makes sense.

So, I came here today because I want to have a good discussion with you and see if there is any other solution.

We all give in to each other and can talk about anything as long as we can reach an agreement on the matter. "

"If you want to say that, fine, you know I'm not the kind of unreasonable person.

Then let’s sort it out. Brother Jianshe, you just want to put the distribution station in this position, don’t you? "

"Yes, did we also say that he has access to many aspects of this place, so it is the best position."

"Does it have to be at this point?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, there are a lot of accessible places around here, so you guys don't have to happen to be in this location, right?"

"Oh, I know what you mean.

But if you look around here, what else can be used?

To the south is Taoshan. We can't build the substation on the hillside, right?
To the east is the main road in the village, so that's definitely not possible either.

I also said on the opposite side that if a motor shaft is to be built, I cannot occupy the location of the motor shaft.

As for the west side, it's no different from your position. It still has to stop you halfway.

north……

It's your family's private land, and there's no way to use it. "

"Huh~"

Li Muyang chuckled, "You think about the problem, don't be so rigid!"

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you say that you chose this location because it is close to several lines in the village?"

"Yes, that's right, that's what it means."

"Actually, having said that, what you really need is not this point, but a place that is about the same distance from the village. Is that what you mean?"

Li Jianshe was stunned for a moment, but nodded.

"Yes, that's actually what it means."

"Wouldn't that be easy to handle..."

Li Muyang looked around and picked up a stick, "Look, does our village look like this, roughly?"

Li Muyang quickly marked out a few areas on the ground and pointed to Li Jianshe.

"Yeah, that's right, almost."

"Look, this point is the center of each family in the village. If the substation is built exactly at this point, the distance from each family will be basically the same. Is this true?"

"Yes, that's right, that's the truth, but this location is not good. This is Boss Wang's home."

"I know, I didn't say it had to be at this point.

Look, let's enlarge this point into a circle. Let's enlarge it a little bit. Is any position in this circle the same distance from each house?

The farthest and the nearest people are in a circle, right? "

Li Jianshe's eyes slowly lit up.

Can't stop nodding.

He understood now.

"Right, so actually there is still room for storage in this circle. In addition to our doorstep, there are also places in our west, northwest and northeast corners that can be used.

There's no need to keep an eye on our door, is there? "

Li Jianshe nodded first, but then shook his head.

"No, except for a little bit of land in the northwest corner of your circle, everything else is other people's yards. You can't knock down other people's yards to build a power distribution station, right?
Unless it happens to be placed in the contracted land in the northwest corner.

The question is, whose land belongs to it?
I don’t know if you agree? "

"Unfortunately, that land also belongs to our family."

Li Muyang grinned.

Li Jianshe was stunned, pointed at Li Muyang and laughed, "Boy, after all, this belongs to your family, and you still occupy a good place."

"No way, my land was also a land that no one wanted before.

Who wants to ask for the land at the foot of the mountain? It is on the edge of the village and no one else knows about it. You are the village chief, so you should know this. "

"That's right..."

"That's it."

Li Jianshe smiled again, "What, you mean, don't build the power distribution station here, but put it on the land contracted by your family?"

Li Muyang shook his head, "If we put it on the land contracted by our family, how can our family grow food? Should the village pay for the public grain for me, or should the people who use the electricity pay it for me?

Our family has little land to begin with. We only have one or two acres of land in total, and it's all thin farmland.

If another part is taken away, then I won’t be able to pay for the public food.

When the time comes, village chief, you can't bring people to the door to urge you. "

These days, you have to pay public food.

The public grain payment in Qingcheng was not canceled until [-].

Handing over public grain has always been a problem for Li Muyang.

It was like this in previous lives.

His family had little land to begin with, and the two boys behind him were from bad households, so they had no land allocated to them.

There's quite a lot to eat.

This is the truth for a half-grown man and a poor man.

The harvest on the land near the mountains has not been very good because it is obscured by the mountains.

One acre of land cannot yield several hundred pounds of wheat.

Basically, more than half of the wheat must be sent to the grain management office.

The harvesting volume of grain tubes is very demanding. It doesn't matter if the wheat is wet. The key is not to let it get a little flat, as it will be blown out by the big fan.

Therefore, after paying the public grain every year, at most one-third of the grain will be left.

It’s enough to feed a family for two to three months.

Most of the time, Li Muyang has to buy food.

Take the wheat and replace it with corn flour or buckwheat noodles, etc., and just get by.

Therefore, because he had not had enough to eat for a long time and ate only whole grains, the three or so children in his family were not very tall.

It is also a very sad past event.

Every year when it comes time to pay public food, many families cannot afford it. '

Progress will definitely fall behind.

At this time, the village cadres will pull the cart, and a large number of people will pour in, directly lift the grain onto the cart and take it away.

No different than bandits.

These days, people still stay at the stage of not making noises about many things if they can do it, which is almost barbaric.

Li Muyang told Li Jianshe not to come to his door to urge him. It seemed like he was joking, but in fact it was a true reaction to the past.

Li Jianshe smiled awkwardly and did not continue to expand on this topic.

"Don't worry about this. If this land is used, the village will definitely provide coordination with new land. We can't let you suffer, right?"

"New land?"

Li Muyang disagreed, "Is there any new land in the village?"

"Don't worry about this. I'm sure it will happen if I say it. I've already promised you, can I still lie to you?"

"That's not good."

Li Muyang smiled faintly, "I remember some time ago, when someone's child was born, you still said there was no ready-made land. Where can I find a piece of land?

I think this is just a delaying tactic, right?

You're cheating on me, you've used my land, and I have no more land to plant.

You will put the power distribution station here anyway, and there is nothing I can do about it, right?
I'm just an ordinary citizen, so I can't compete with you officials. I have to obey.

Just stop teasing me. "

Li Jianshe smiled awkwardly.

Li Muyang said this, but he couldn't admit it.

Although everyone knows that not everyone who can be a cadre is like this.

Let’s break it down into two sentences about the plan.

What matters is the dragging technique.

"Brother Shepherd, I have told you, just don't worry.

It is true that there is no ready-made land in the village, but we can adjust it, right? There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Can you spare yours? "

"Really not?"

"Of course not. I have been the village chief for so many years. When did I become irresponsible?

Is it true that everything that comes out of my mouth will fall to the ground?
Just rest assured that there will be no problem. "

"Then...since the village chief said so, I'll just believe it."

Li Muyang did not continue to pursue the question.

He turned to ask: "Then village chief, I have given you a solution and donated my contracted land, so what benefits do I get?"

"Benefits?" Li Jianshe was stunned.

"Yes, you can't just let me pay for it in vain. I'm not your cadre, and I need to have a high level of consciousness.

Brother Jianshe, think about it, from my standpoint, does this cause me a lot of trouble? "

“Mu Yang, that’s not right.

The contracted land in this village does not belong to individuals in the first place..."

"So you mean, I have nothing left?"

"This one……"

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to be too embarrassed. Brother Jianshe, there are many places in the village. You can find another one casually, right?

My land is not a Feng Shui treasure land, so it must be him.

I'm still busy, so why don't we just leave it like this today? You can see who else's land is more suitable, and then think of a solution. "

Although Li Muyang was still smiling, the meaning behind his words was very clear. He was already sending people away.

"Shepherd..."

"Brother Jianshe, please stop lying to me. If you are sincere, then let's continue talking.

If not, forget it.

You are busy, and so am I, right? It won't help the two of us talking here all day.

It doesn't make any sense. "

After Li Muyang finished speaking, he already made a move to turn around.

Li Jianshe hurriedly grabbed his arm and muttered: "Mu Yang, don't be anxious yet, young people are impatient.

If you put forward your idea, we can definitely study it.

That doesn’t necessarily mean there is no hope.

Do you think this will work? Our power distribution station will be placed on the land contracted by your family. You can also put forward your ideas. As long as it is not too excessive, our village committee can study it and try our best to meet your wishes.

Now tell me, what do you need to do before you agree? "

Li Muyang thought to himself, I'm just waiting for you to say this.

How can you catch good fish if you are reluctant to put out bait?

In fact, Li Muyang had thought of this since that night...

Or even earlier, when Li Jianshe and Li Wanrong proposed the site for the distribution station, he had an idea.

It definitely cannot be placed at the intersection.

But the specific location had been decided before on the land contracted by his family.

Therefore, the goal of all the conversations with Li Jianshe today was to get Li Jianshe to agree to put the substation in the field, and he also felt embarrassed and owed Li Muyang an explanation.

Benefits can be exchanged.

As long as you have this foundation and are guided step by step, you can slowly get to the rhythm of exchange.

right now~
As expected, Li Jianshe began to ask for conditions.

Then he can put forward his conditions.

"Brother Jianshe, as you know, I really don't want such a big guy near my house..."

"I know, I can completely understand your thoughts. Isn't this the case? Just be happy and make demands and plans. If we can satisfy you, we will try our best to satisfy you, okay?"

"In that case, let me think about it~" Li Muyang was confident, but he just pretended to be still thinking.

This is a kind of psychological battle.

The less anxious he was, the more anxious Li Jianshe was.

It was like a tug of war, one ebbing and the other ebbing, and gradually he had more chips in his hand.

"Have you thought about it?"

"almost."

"You were so quick, you scared people to death."

Li Muyang grinded for about three minutes before gritting his teeth.

"Brother Construction, if we really want to put the substation in our contracted land, then I have at least three requirements that must be met."

"Three? So many?"

Li Jianshe was stunned.

"Is there any difficulty?"

"You'd better talk about it first. How can I know if there are any difficulties if I don't listen?"

"Okay, then I said it.

First of all, since you have occupied my contracted land, you must compensate me..."

“You mean you want to compensate for a piece of contracted land, right?
Okay, I can take as much as you need and compensate you as much as you want! "

"No, no, that's not what you said, brother Jianshe?"

"What do you mean?"

“Think about it, my contracted land may be average, but it’s close to our home, isn’t it?

No matter what kind of food I grow, as long as I throw it down from above, it can be thrown behind the wall of our house. Isn't it very convenient?

If you have to find land for me, no matter where you find it, it will become troublesome.

If I remember correctly, some of the land you can turn around in the village is all in the north, thousands of miles away from me. How do you want me to farm it? "

Li Jianshe was stunned. What Li Muyang said was true.

When farmers cultivate land, distance is actually very important.

If it is further away, not only will it take a long time to farm, but it will also be very troublesome to move back after collecting the things.

It is indeed quite troublesome for people in this era who do not have any good means of transportation.

When a frame truck pulls things, the load capacity is inherently small.

How much can it pull?

People are also very tired.

Therefore, when the village divides land, it usually does not divide the land very far away. It basically takes care of everyone and allocates each family's contracted land around the yard.

Of course, this kind of land distribution model can only be realized in Qingcheng, a place with vast land and sparsely populated areas.

Everyone here is far away from each other, and there is no neat planning.

So every yard is basically surrounded by land.

If it is placed in many places with many people and little land, and the villagers all live together, and the contracted land and the village are separated, that is another way.

Different places have different habits.

"Then what do you say?"

"I have an idea. Brother Jianshe, can you listen to it?"

"Tell me."

"Look, you can't find contracted land around here, can you?"

"Yeah, and then what?"

"If that doesn't work, I won't contract the land."

"Huh? Didn't you just say..."

"No, no, you don't understand what I mean. I said I don't want to contract the land, but that doesn't mean I don't want anything. I need to have conditions for exchange."

"So you are waiting for me here, boy, tell me, what are your conditions?"

"Haha, I can't suffer this loss in vain.

My idea is also very simple.

You have occupied my contracted land, so give me part of Taoshan as compensation. "

"Peach Mountain?"

Li Jianshe was stunned.

Why did you mention Taoshan again?

"Didn't you already contract thirty acres of Peach Mountain? Isn't that enough?"

"That's not the same thing.

Isn't Taoshan close to our home? Just look at it and walk up the mountain.

It's better than you moving the land to the north and asking me to travel seven or eight miles each time to cultivate the land.

So how did I plant it? "

Li Jianshe nodded.

"That makes sense. This method is not impossible. Momoyama is useless anyway. If you want it, I'll give you some."

Li Muyang smiled and said, "Then how much do you plan to give me?"

"I used an acre of you..."

“No, it should be two acres.

Brother Jianshe, we have to speak realistically.

A power distribution station will be built on my contracted land, standing in the middle. How else do you want me to farm the land?

It must be unusable.

You might as well take those two acres of land away, I can't have any more.

It's all in vain. "

“Okay, okay, if you don’t want it, then don’t, then take it back.

Two acres of land, how much mountain land do you want to exchange for?
Four acres, or six acres? "

Li Muyang turned around and was about to leave. Li Jianshe had quick eyesight and quickly grabbed him.

"Why are you in a hurry? This is still under discussion."

"Brother Jianshe, if you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore.

We need to be more honest.

You keep teasing me, what's the point? We are just wasting our time. "

Li Muyang looked very unhappy.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you.

How many acres do you want? "

"Fifty acres."

"?"

Li Jianshe was stunned.

"You kid can really tell, right? The lion has a big mouth, right?

The village has used two acres of your land, but you want fifty acres of mountain land. What are you thinking?

Can you even open your mouth and say this? "

Li Muyang was not in a hurry and said slowly:
"Brother Jianshe, you must have changed your concept.

That's not what it says.

First of all, my contracted land is close to my home, but the mountain field is far away from my home, right? "

"That's right, that's what it says..."

"Secondly, one acre of my contracted land can produce three to four hundred kilograms of wheat. How much can the mountain fields produce?
I'm afraid you can't even get fifty pounds out of one acre of land, right?
In other words, it is basically impossible to grow food in the mountains and fields. "

"This is..."

"Furthermore, the land I contracted is standard land, and Yamada was originally unplanned land and not on the accounts.

Being able to exchange some useless land for two acres of good land is a very cost-effective deal no matter how you look at it. "

Li Jianshe was stunned for a moment after being deceived by Li Muyang.

He felt something was wrong, but it seemed to make some sense.

“Finally, leave the land in Taoshan and don’t move there, no one will say anything to you.

Will the leaders of the township blame you for not contracting out?
Of course not.

Because these lands, strictly speaking, are not within their sight.

Do they just regard these places as barren mountains?
but

If you can't take over my contracted land and the power distribution station is delayed, you will definitely be held accountable.

The superiors will definitely ask, what's wrong with you?

Why can't I do a small thing well?

Is this the truth? "

Li Muyang said that all the saliva was flying away.

My mouth is simply dry.

He can be said to use both soft and hard tactics, "coercion and inducement", just to get the land by any means possible.

He thought so.

Taoshan has a total of 20 acres. He currently owns [-] acres, contracted for [-] years, and free for five years. Basically, he has acquired the land.

But if people in the village see that he has made money growing peaches, he will no longer be able to contract Taoshan.

But contracting land requires money, and he currently does not have the ability to directly contract Taoshan.

If you are trying to raise money, the money you save by digging up Cordyceps won’t be enough.

There are still many places for him to spend his money.

Build a yard, marry a wife, and provide follow-up medical treatment to my mother...

There are also fertilizers, water, pesticides, etc. for tending peach trees, which all cost money.

There is a bunch of empty land, but it cannot be exchanged for money.

All beginnings are hard.

This year is his original stage, from zero to one, which is the most difficult.

People often say on TV that money is not saved but earned.

The best way to make money is to use money to make money.

So no matter what you do, this first step is very important. Once you have some capital, it will become much easier to make money from money.

Li Muyang's idea was to control all the west and middle areas of Taoshan.

Probably close to 150 acres, occupying half of it.

As for the land to the east, it is not that simple because it is far away from home and borders the next county.

Ignore it for now.

He also had a vague plan in mind.

If he cultivates his 150 acres of peach orchard well, he can make a lot of money.

But you can’t just think about making all the money.

Others in the village should also get some credit.

Otherwise, those jealous people will definitely think of ways to cause trouble, and things will be more difficult to do.

After all, he is still in the village.

Villagers are like this. They may be jealous if you have the ability to make some money, but if you make more, they will turn to envy and admiration.

When the time comes, you can take them with you to make a fortune too.

It can be regarded as doing some good things for the village.

Of course, such thoughts are all in the future, and he doesn't want to think that far yet.

Before your own strength is up, everything you think about is in vain.

If he can get the 50 acres this time, his land will be able to reach 80 acres. If not, he can take the opportunity to acquire the remaining 70 acres at the previous price.

Enclosure is the beginning of a farmer's fortune.

Li Muyang found that he now gradually mastered the method of communicating with people.

That’s profit-driven.

As long as they are not relatives and friends, then in fact, any relationship between people is useless. The most important thing is interests.

This is the case with Li Jianshe.

Directly lay out the stakes, accept it if you accept it, delay it if you don't accept it.

All decisions are made at critical moments.

Sure enough, Li Jianshe thought for a while and sighed.

"You kid, this is just taking advantage of others!"
