My life has subtitles

Chapter 142 Do you think I look like a fool?
  The gate of the orchard is an antique gate.

Vermilion lacquered copper nails.

Deliberately old-fashioned.

It has quite a sense of history and vicissitudes.

The door is open.

A path about 2 meters wide, paved with bluestones, winding and winding, leading to the depths of the orchard.

On both sides of the trail are various landscape shrubs.

The morning sun shines on the bushes and bluestone slabs.

Insects chirp and birds chirp.

The fragrance of flowers hits.

At first glance, it is a beautiful natural scenery.

Yang Chen is a child from the countryside.

Feel very friendly.

I watched for a while at the gate of the orchard.

Yang Chen was not in a hurry to go in.

This orchard was contracted by the corrupt official in someone else's name.

After the corrupt officials were investigated, this orchard was also found out.

The investigators did not find anything in this orchard, but because dirty money was used to contract the orchard, the original owner of the orchard refunded the contract fee.

At that time, the contract for the fallen officials was for 70 years.

The total contracting fee is 150 million.

One lump sum payment.

If it is a barren mountain, the contract price will be very cheap.

However, because it is a ready-made orchard, the price is much more expensive. At the same time, because it is close to the provincial capital Xingsha, transportation is convenient, and water and electricity are available. The price is 70 million for 150 years, so the price is relatively reasonable.

Rural contracted land has different contracting years according to its nature and use.

The land can be farmed for up to thirty years.

Grass for up to fifty years.

Woodland for up to seventy years.

Orchards are cultivated land, and according to policies and regulations, they can be used for up to thirty years.

If we can contract for seventy years, we should turn this orchard into woodland.

It's basically impossible for ordinary people.

But for the fallen official, a high-ranking provincial official, this was nothing to worry about.

just now.

The orchard returned to the hands of the villagers.

Although the dirty money was refunded, some buildings and infrastructure in the orchard were still preserved. For this villager, his work was not in vain.

Yang Chen plans to contract this orchard.

Of course, before contracting, you need to confirm whether the safe is still there?

The subtitle information reminds that only the arrested officials know where the safe is worth more than 5 million yuan.

But what if someone takes it away by chance?

Then there is no point in contracting this orchard.

So before entering the orchard, Yang Chen activated the subtitle system, locked his eyes on the orchard, and selected the reading function.

soon.

Lines of subtitle information jumped out.

Suspended in the air.

The subtitles show that the safe is still buried safely under a certain peach tree, and the contents inside are well preserved, with nothing missing.

Simultaneously.

Yang Chen discovered another surprise.

A big surprise.

There is a spring in this orchard.

It is not uncommon to find springs in rural mountainous areas.

As a child who grew up in a rural area, Yang Chen naturally wouldn't have any surprises.

but.

According to the information read by the subtitle system, this spring water is of high quality, good taste, and balanced and rich in minerals, which is no less than any top mineral water in the world.

Subtitles are displayed.

The spring water here is a rare, drinkable warm mineral spring, natural cooked water.

After hundreds of millions of years of filtering through layers of Cambrian sandstone and shale, soft water with ultra-low sodium and low salinity has been formed, which is very suitable for long-term drinking.

The water is rich in zinc.

The pH value is around 7.

The zinc and magnesium elements in the water exist in the form of ions, allowing the human body to absorb them better.

In addition, the molybdenum element in the water can also reduce nitrite, which is very beneficial to people who often order takeout and eat barbecue. They can enjoy delicious food and enjoy health at the same time.

Also.

The spring water supply here is very abundant.

All year round, drought or not, it never dries up.

So that was a surprise.

A big surprise.

water.

Mother of all things!

Benefit all things without fighting.

As a rural child, he understands the importance of water very well.

although.

Water is not scarce in daily life, and under normal circumstances, people do not pay too much attention to it.

but.

People can skip meals.

But you must not skip drinking water.

Yang Chen saw business opportunities in his eyes.

There is also a cherishment and attachment to this top-quality spring water - this is the instinct of a carbon-based life, and it is also the gene engraved in the bones of a rural child.

and so.

This orchard must be taken down.

Tangshan, Ding Xiaofang, and Zhong Xiaowei didn't know what Yang Chen was thinking.

now.

They just want to get to the orchard and pick peaches as soon as possible.

Have a great day enjoying nature.

Farmhouse music is now popular.

Let city people drive to the countryside and pick their own fruits, euphemistically saying that they enjoy the process of labor. The fruits they pick will taste sweeter and more delicious.

This orchard is not far from the main road.

It's about two or three kilometers up the cement service road.

Therefore, the owner of the orchard hung up a contact number at the gate. If you want to experience the farmhouse, you can contact him.

The orchard gate is open.

I don’t know if there are tourists from the city who have gone into the picking field.

Yang Chen asked them to go in first.

He picked up his cell phone, dialed the number on it, and contacted the owner of the orchard.

soon.

The call is connected.

The owner of the orchard spoke Mandarin with a strong local accent and asked Yang Chen who he was? What's the matter?

Yang Chen has no nonsense.

He went straight to the point and said that he wanted to contract this orchard.

Upon hearing this, the orchard owner refused without saying a word.

Say no to the contract.

Only visitors to the farmhouse are accepted. After Yang Chen asked, he found out that the original owner of the orchard was shadowed by the previous contractor, the official who was dismissed.

70 years.

150 million.

We have already planned how to spend the money.

In order to marry a Xijiang girl, the leftover man in the family who was over 68.8 years old had to pay a bride price of yuan.

I am planning to buy a wedding house in Xingsha City.

The down payment is 70.

Coupled with some miscellaneous expenses and the family's savings over the years, we can just solve these long-standing problems.

As a result, corrupt officials were investigated and bank accounts were frozen.

Said money is dirty money.

To go back.

So the child's marriage fell through.

All the work in vain.

Are you irritating or not?
  "Brother, my money is absolutely clean and pure."

"If you don't worry, we can go to the court to notarize it."

"Or call the police. Let's go to banks, taxation and other relevant departments to investigate and collect evidence to see where the money comes from. Is it normal or not?"

After knowing the orchard owner's concerns, Yang Chen said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, the orchard owner's attitude softened.

"Really?"

"Do you keep your word?"

Yang Chen chuckled: "It must count!"

"it is good!"

"Then I'll call the leaders of the village and we'll discuss it in person."

soon.

An old farmer with dark skin and a hoe came out of the orchard.

over 50 years old.

The appearance looks very simple.

He is the owner of this orchard.

After meeting.

The owner of the orchard gave Yang Chen a cigarette.

A pack of soft white sand costs 8 yuan.

This cigarette is very popular in Chunan Province and is also smoked by ordinary people.

Yang Chen smoked this cigarette before.

Vigorous.

Can be enjoyable.

Yang Chen took the cigarette with a smile, and then lit it for the orchard owner. The two chatted for a while at the entrance of the orchard, waiting for the village leaders to come over.

After half an hour.

An Audi A6L was parked at the entrance of the orchard.

It was the potbellied village party secretary who got out of the cab.

After a brief introduction and pleasantries, the owner of the orchard led the way and took the two of them to the teahouse built by a corrupt official.

Yang Chen followed behind, feeling quite emotional all the way.

This "shabby house" was indeed made colorful and full of artistic conception by the corrupt official who was dismissed from power.

Pond, lotus, koi.

Bamboo forest, small bridge, flowing water.

How many huts are there?

Several terraces.

Behind is the orchard.

Ahead is the valley.

Drinking tea and writing poems here can indeed cultivate one's moral character and make one's mood happy.

Enter the hut.

From the outside, the hut looks like an old house with adobe walls and thatched roof in the countryside in the past. It is a very old kind and can only be seen before liberation.

Obviously, it was deliberately made like this.

Integrate with the surrounding environment.

It is also worthy of the three words on the plaque above the door: "humble house".

But the decoration inside is very luxurious.

I dare not say it is magnificent, but it is also high-end and elegant, with a sense of classic luxury everywhere.

Just because of these huts with different appearance and appearance, the orchard owner’s work is not in vain.
  Take your seat.

The orchard owner made two cups of tea and served them.

First, he briefly asked Yang Chen about the purpose of contracting this orchard with the village party secretary, and then got to the point - how many years should the contract be contracted?

How much does it cost?

Orchards are cultivated land.

Thirty years at most.

Because there are mature fruit trees here, not to mention the fruiting period of thirty years, there are still fruiting periods of more than ten years.

In addition, the dismissed officials repaired some buildings and improved infrastructure, including water and power grids, etc., so the contracting costs are naturally more expensive.

Yang Chen has natural and deep feelings for the land.

no way.

Children born in rural areas have this complex.

In addition, because of the top-notch spring water, Yang Chen naturally hopes to keep the contract for as long as possible.

If possible, he would prefer to buy it directly.

However, in China, rural land can only be contracted and cannot be bought or sold.

So I can only look forward to it and sigh.

prior to.

The fallen officials used their power to convert the orchard into forest land and contracted it for 70 years.

Now naturally it has changed again.

Then change it to woodland?
  It's obviously unrealistic.

After all, because of the arrest of the officials, this orchard has become a key customer in the eyes of the relevant departments, so naturally they can no longer engage in illegal activities.

"Thirty years, one million!"

Yang Chen gave his contract price.

The price is fair.

Even given too much.

After all, 70 million in 150 years.

That works out to just over 2 per year.

Contracted for 65 years, the amount is less than .

Yang Chen gave out one million with full sincerity - of course, the most important thing was that he was too lazy to pull any strings.

heard.

The orchard owner glanced at the village party secretary and shook his head.

"One million and eight hundred thousand!"

"I can sign you a 70-year contract. After the thirty years expires, I will renew it for free. If you are worried, you can ask the village party committee to write a letter of guarantee."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen frowned.

It doesn't matter to him whether he has more or less money - he used to care about it, but now that his vision has improved, he knows that things that can be solved with money are no big deal.

Instead of pulling over money.

It is better to use this time to make more money and enjoy life.

but.

Even though I have money, I don't mind spending more.

But I am not a fool!
