magic ranch

Chapter 35
Liu Heming was in a depressed mood this afternoon, so he could only pass the time by arranging the room for his daughter.After setting up the room, I poured some water on my vegetable field, and then I took a casual bite, and came to the town early.

He thought he came early enough, but he didn't expect that the town hall was already full of cars, and Anderson was smoking outside.

"Dexter, I really misread you before." Anderson said seriously after seeing Liu Heming coming over.

"Ah... what's wrong?" Liu Heming was taken aback.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good person. George has already told me. I have decided that no matter what you buy in my store in the future, I will give you the lowest price." After Anderson gave him a hug, Said very gratified.

"Uh, it's nothing, I can't watch everyone reduce production." Liu Heming said with a strong smile.

Even if you have already made a decision in your heart, you will lose if you lose this time, but now thinking about it, it still feels a little painful.

When I came inside, I finally met the residents of the whole town, most of them were about the same age as George and Anderson, and the only two little dolls were probably here for vacation.

"Hi everyone, it's been a few years since we last held a town meeting." George said after knocking on the microphone to attract everyone's attention.

"At our last meeting, we decided on two things. One is that this unflattering town mayor is elected every year, and in the end it was determined to rotate. The other thing is the collection of property taxes. Because our town Existing in name only, so special regulations were activated, ten dollars per household."

"At that time, I also agreed with such a decision. After all, it reduced my expenditure. But looking at the current state of our Xiangshui Town, I think we should make some changes."

"You may not know that our town welcomed the No. 15 resident this year. He is Dexter, and what we are going to discuss today is related to him."

Liu Heming hurriedly stood up and nodded to everyone. Many people looked at him with curiosity. It is estimated that George has not told them about the water shortage.

"Here I want to announce a bad news. You may not have noticed that this year's Xiangshui River is showing signs of stopping again." George said again.

"George, are you telling the truth?"

"Oh my God, I invested $[-] last year."

"George, tell me it's not real news, you're joking, aren't you?"

……

As soon as George's voice fell, he shouted in a hurry.Although there are only so few people, the noise is not small.

"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet." George shouted loudly, suppressing everyone's restless emotions.

"This problem was discovered by Dexter, because he was the owner of the former Star Ranch, and now it has been changed to the Magical Ranch. Everyone knows that there is a branch of the Xiangshui River in the Star Ranch, and now that branch has been seen in some places. It's over."

"Dexter is a very kind young man. After learning about the special situation in Xiangshui Town, he decided to supply the lake water in his ranch to everyone to help everyone tide over the difficulties."

"Yes, you heard it right. There is a lake in the magical ranch. We have had too little connection these years, and no one knows when it was formed. But I can tell you that this year your investment has been preserved. .”

This time the reaction was very consistent. Under the leadership of Anderson, everyone applauded Liu Heming together.Liu Heming had no choice but to stand up again, expressing that he had received the thanks from everyone.

"But one thing to explain is that this lake is Dexter's private property after all. Even if he wants to provide us with free water, we should make due compensation to him." George continued.

"Now I propose that for those who have left Xiangshui Town, the normal property tax rate should be restored. And I propose again that 30% of the property rights in Xiangshui Town should be given to Dexter as a reward for his selfless dedication this time. .”

"I've already made a voting form, and I'll send it out to everyone in a while. I hope everyone can take this vote seriously. If Xiangshui Town continues to be deserted, our town will really be abandoned."

Others didn't respond, but Liu Heming was a little confused. What does 30% property rights mean?How much tax can this broken town have?Wouldn't it be good to give yourself some benefits?At least you can get a cash reward too.

But no one cared what he was thinking, he took the voting form distributed by George and filled it out.George didn't leave behind Liu Heming either, and also gave him one.

The voting form is also very simple, even if it is printed on ordinary paper, it is still divided into two.There are two titles on the top, the proposal that George just said, and the corresponding options at the bottom, agree or disagree.

After looking at it, he threw it directly into the ballot box.No matter how you choose, your vote doesn't matter much.

There are a total of 26 eligible voters, including Liu Heming, so counting the votes is very simple.The final result was 25 votes in favor, one abstention, and George's two proposals passed smoothly.

Liu Heming clicked his mouth, feeling a little bitter.It seems that this water is really going to be given away for nothing, and there is no benefit at all.

Others don't care what he thinks, even if they don't know him, they will come to him after the voting to express their gratitude.Then everyone sat here and discussed how to divide the water.

The peaceful atmosphere just now became lively again. After all, everyone wants to irrigate quickly this round, and a day's delay may affect the harvest.

In the end, George had no choice but to take the form of drawing lots.And George also warned everyone that we must cherish the water source when fetching water to irrigate the ground, and there should be no waste.Moreover, going to the Miracle Ranch to fetch water is also a special case.It can't be that it's still very dry, so you just drive there to pull water.

As for the next water fetching date, it is to be determined.It should be done according to the weather conditions, and the consent of Liu Heming himself must be obtained at that time.

On this point, everyone has no other opinion.If Liu Heming really didn't give everyone water, everyone could just watch.Now Liu Heming has taken the initiative to provide everyone with lake water for irrigation, which has solved everyone's urgent needs.

Many people now regret that they should have wandered around more when they had nothing to do in the past. If they had discovered this lake earlier, would they be able to make up for the loss when production was reduced a few years ago?

At the same time, they were somewhat envious of Liu Heming's good luck. With this lake and his magical ranch, it would be a disaster.Therefore, after the meeting, Liu Heming was given the title of "Wonder Boy" again.

This was not given by the system, but by the townspeople of Xiangshui Town.
