Chapter 230 Contracting the Mountains ②

As for Zhou Jinger not contracting the tea mountain in the end, Luo Jiu was still a little puzzled: "Didn't Zhou Jinger sign a contract with the village at that time, and why didn't he contract it later?"

You know, at that time, the village meeting was held several times, and Dad Luo Bang agreed to come back to attend the village meeting.

Although the household registration of Luo Jiu's family has been moved to Xiaoyang Village, the land and homestead in Qingshan Village have not been taken back. Sometimes Luo Bang will come back to attend meetings on matters related to the interests of all villagers in the village.

"Jing Laoer is an unreliable guy. When he was talking with the village about the tea mountain contract, his eldest son opened a brick factory in Xintian in partnership.

The brick factory was originally a partnership between two people. Just when the contract was about to be signed with the village, the other partner wanted to withdraw, so Jing Laoer took the money from contracting the tea mountain to the brick factory.

As the business of the brick factory got better and better, the matter of contracting the tea mountain later came to nothing. "

After listening to Luo Xiren's explanation, Luo Jiu understood why the good things that were discussed at the time did not continue.

In fact, Luo Jiu didn't know what Zhou Jinger's real name was. He only knew that he was the second child in their family. Everyone usually called him Zhou Jinger, Jinger, or Jinger.

His family has also opened a brick factory for many years. Zhou Jinger used to burn bricks for others.

Before 2000, many houses in the local rural areas were built by making bricks by themselves, and then hired people to burn the bricks, and then hired people to build the houses.

Even when Luo Jiu can remember, there were still people who built houses in this way.

Choose a season with less rain, find a place where the soil quality is suitable for making bricks, dig a pit, then mix the mud repeatedly, and finally make solid adobe bricks manually.

This season is generally July, August and September, when the weather is the hottest. After the adobes are made, in such hot weather, it will not take long for the adobes to dry in the sun.

Next, you can start burning bricks. When burning bricks, those experienced masters will be invited to direct them. Layers of bricks, mixed with specially made coals like large biscuits, are slowly piled up. Into a cylindrical brick kiln.

After the final base, you can start to light the fire.

The most is a special test of experience, and Zhou Jinger is the most experienced brick-burning master in Shili Baxiang.

But after 2000, there are fewer and fewer people who burn bricks to build houses. Everyone likes to buy ready-made red bricks to build houses.

Jing Laoer and his eldest son built a brick factory with others in Xintian Village by the river. I heard that they also bought a special machine for making bricks, which is much faster than manual work.

Jing Lao Er is in charge of directing the work of burning bricks in the brick factory. I heard that he has made a lot of money in these years. Anyway, whoever builds a house in the village now uses bricks and tiles from their brick factory.

But it was the first time Luo Jiu heard about Zhou Jinger releasing pigeons in the village.

Remembering what his father had said to him, Luo Jiu asked Luo Xiren: "At that time, how much was the tea mountain contracted to Zhou Jinger per acre, and how many years did he plan to contract at that time?"

At that time, Zhou Jinger's contracting of the tea garden had already been approved at the villagers' meeting, and the last step was to sign the contract, so the contracting price should have been determined.

Luo Xiren thought for a while, and said to Luo Jiu: "The total area of ​​the tea garden is more than 650 mu. This area was measured by the county land department, which can be found in the county land department.

At that time, the price negotiated with Zhou Jinger was 50 yuan per mu, and the contract period was 300 years.

But if you want to contract now, you still need everyone in the village to agree.Several years have passed, and the price may be a little different, maybe a little lower. "

Luo Xiren sighed and said, "Let's not talk about tea mountains now, even the paddy fields used to grow rice have become more and more desolate in the past few years. Don't talk about renting with money, even giving it to people for nothing People want it.

Or the conditions in our place are so bad that we can’t use large-scale agricultural machinery. Unlike their plains, where a family can easily plant hundreds of acres of land, here, one person can’t grow three to five acres of land all year round. stopped. "

For Luo Xiren's words, Luo Jiu was naturally deeply touched. Qingshan Village not only has very little land that can be used to grow rice, but most of them are on the mountainside, and they are all terraced fields. A field with an area of ​​more than one mu It is very rare, most of them are in the area of ​​three to five minutes, and the small ones are not even in the area of ​​one minute.

Moreover, more than [-]% of the land has only a foot-wide path, and everything has to be picked up and down on two shoulders.Planting fertilizer needs to be picked up into the field with your shoulders, and you have to pick things back when harvesting.

So being a farmer in Qingshan Village is much harder than being a farmer in those plain areas.

This is also the reason why more and more land in the village has been abandoned in recent years. It is too tiring and not profitable.Even if the government subsidizes 200 yuan per mu of land, there are still no people.

As for attracting people from outside to contract land in large quantities, it's not that the village has never taken action, but every time people come to see it, they don't even want to talk about the conditions, and then leave.

As for those who talk about contracting out barren hills to others to plant trees, this is simply not feasible in a place like Qingshan Village.There are ready-made trees everywhere. As long as you can get a felling permit from the forestry department, you can cut down as many trees as you want.

Whatever wood the villagers want to use, they can just go up to the mountains and cut it. No one takes care of it, so the trees are worthless.

And even if you planted the tree, it is not up to you whether you will be allowed to cut it down when it grows up, because there are certain targets for how many felling certificates can be issued each year.

So it doesn't mean that you planted the tree and you can chop it down whenever you want, it doesn't exist.

As long as the felled trees are to be transported out, they must apply for a felling certificate before they can transport the cut timber.

If there is no felling certificate, if the forestry department finds out, it will not be a matter of confiscating timber and fines. Now, illegal logging will result in imprisonment.

So in Luo Jiu's place, there is no such thing as privately contracting land to plant trees, and those who engage in landscaping and greening trees are not included in this scope.

The entire Meixian County has many mountains and little land. The saying "eight mountains, one water and one field" is not nonsense.

Seeing that Luo Jiu didn't make a sound, Luo Xiren continued, "Otherwise, you can just contract the tea mountain. The contract will be based on Zhou Jinger's previous contract. If you have to pay a higher price, you can also bring it up during the meeting for everyone to discuss." Decide later."

Luo Jiu thought for a while and said, "There is no problem in contracting the tea mountain, but I also plan to contract the Leigong mountain, since the two mountains are next to each other, it will be convenient to take care of it when the time comes.

And anyway, it is necessary to build a road to go there, so it happens that both sides can be used.But what is the area of ​​Leigong Mountain, and how much does Leigong Mountain cost per mu? It should not be higher than Chashan, right? "

All the land on the tea mountain has been sorted out. You only need to turn over the land again, or simply cut down the weeds and shrubs that have grown up over the years, and you can directly dig holes and plant trees.

Relatively speaking, the conditions of Leigong Mountain are incomparable. There are rocks everywhere on the mountain, and the whole mountain is a big slope. It takes more time and money to level it into a trapezoid like a tea mountain.

Of course, you can also plant trees directly on those slopes, but it is convenient for the time being, but it will be more troublesome to maintain in the future.

These days, when Luo Jiu started to plant fruit trees, the first thing Luo Jiu thought of was Leigong Mountain. The future plan for Leigong Mountain was originally based on the tea mountain.

First build a dirt road that can be used by agricultural tractors and trucks, then spread cinders and gravel on it, and then transform the entire Leigong Mountain according to the shape of terraced fields.

Moreover, Luo Jiu also plans to build all the roads up the mountain into cement roads in the future. Because Luo Jiu knew last time in the county that this rural road in Qingshan Village has been included in the road reconstruction plan, so Luo Jiu plans to wait until the reconstruction is completed. When we are in the village, we will build this road up the mountain again.

In the past, most of the rural roads in the county were built according to the minimum standard of 3 meters wide, but many roads have been damaged in recent years, and driving on such mountain roads is also a big problem for safety.

Because of road conditions, there are several serious traffic accidents every year.

In addition, the government now has money, so the rural roads in the entire county must be upgraded, and all roads with a width of 3 meters 5 will be upgraded to a minimum width of 5 meters.

The upgrading and reconstruction of rural roads has been going on for almost two years, and almost one-third of the rural roads in the county that need to be upgraded have been upgraded. The road in Qingshan Village will be planned for next year's renovation.

At that time, after the reconstruction of this road in the village is completed, Luo Jiu also plans to change the road up the mountain into a 5-meter-wide cement road. As for the cost issue, when he decided to plant fruit trees on Leigong Mountain, Luo Jiu I never thought about how much it would cost.

It doesn't matter if Luo Jiu is rich and self-willed, anyway, Luo Jiu has never had the idea of ​​making money from the fruit trees of Leigong Mountain, and Luo Jiu doesn't care at all whether he makes money or not in the end.

Luo Jiu wouldn't feel very happy if the fruit that was produced in the end could be sold, and Luo Jiu wouldn't feel disappointed if it couldn't be sold, anyway, it could be used to give benefits to the employees in the factory.

However, Luo Jiu always thought that the tea mountain was contracted by someone, so he never thought about contracting the tea mountain. Now that Leigong Mountain has not been finished, it has initially decided to contract the tea mountain.

As for the contract price of Leigong Mountain, Luo Xiren couldn't decide. When Luo Jiu left, there was no definite figure.

But Luo Jiu also knew that this was not something that Luo Xiren could settle with one word.

Although Luo Xiren is the village head of Qingshan Village, in addition to the meetings and discussions of the cadres in the village, the opinions of the whole village have to be sought for many things.

Luo Xiren promised Luo Jiu that he would call the leaders of the village to discuss this matter as soon as possible, and after they came up with a rough charter, they would hold a village meeting. As long as no one objected, the matter would be almost fine.

The next day when Luo Jiu was practicing boxing in the Taoist temple, the cell phone he put aside rang. Luo Jiu took it over and saw that it was Luo Xiren calling: "Xiao Jiu, are you still in the village now? Wait a minute, everyone." I'm going to the village headquarters to hold a meeting to discuss your contracting of Chashan and Leigongshan. If you have time, come and listen. If you have any questions, tell everyone in person."

Luo Jiu said, "I'm at the Taoist temple on the mountain now, and I'll come to the village right away. When will everyone have a meeting?"

"The notice is around 09:30. If you are not busy, come to the village department earlier. The branch secretary and I have already arrived."

Luo Jiu looked at the time, it was nine o'clock soon, went to the well and fetched a bucket of water to wash, got dressed and went down the mountain. When Luo Jiu arrived at the village, there were already four or five people in the village. A small conference room awaits.

Seeing Luo Jiu come in, Luo Xiren said to everyone: "Now that the lord is here, let's share your opinions. The tea mountain has been deserted for many years. Now that Xiao Jiu wants to contract it, what do you say? Xiao Jiu, if you have any ideas and requests, you can also tell them, and we will definitely solve what we can solve for you."

"Everyone is my uncle and elder. I believe everyone will not let me suffer. You can discuss it with me and listen."

"Now that Xiaojiu is promising, she should be the richest boss in our county!"

"It's a good thing that Xiaojiu is willing to contract the tea mountain. I think the price should be calculated according to the price given to Zhou Jinger at that time. Anyway, that price was agreed by everyone at the time."

"I don't think there's a problem with that either."

"The price of Tea Mountain is 50 yuan per mu. There is no problem, but what is the price of Leigong Mountain? Leigong Mountain is full of stones. Although there were people who opened up wasteland in the past, there should not be much land that can be planted now. According to Is the price of 50 acres too expensive?"

"Of course Leigong Mountain cannot be settled according to the price of the tea mountain, otherwise Boss Quan won't scold you to death when he comes back. I know that there is a similar barren mountain in Xiegang Village, and it is rented to the villagers to grow grapes. It seems to be 20 yuan per acre. , how about I make a phone call and ask?"

"I think the price is about the same. You can call to find out. We can only give an approximate price when we talk about the price here today. In the end, we have to hold a meeting in the village to decide."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Everyone had no opinion on the rent of 50 per mu in Leigong Mountain, but they had no idea about how much Leigong Mountain would cost per mu.

In fact, it is said that all the villagers in the village must hold a meeting to make the final decision. In fact, as long as there is an agreement here today, no one will object to Luo Jiu's contracting of Chashan and Leigong Mountain when the meeting is held.

Not to mention that now almost every household in the village has people working in Blue Sky Smart, even if Luo Jiu doesn't have Blue Sky Smart and has the face of being with Uncle Luo Quan, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, no one will object to this matter.

Originally, these two mountains have always been barren there, and apart from occasionally going up to the mountain to pick some wild tea, there is no income at all.

Now that Luo Jiu has contracted it, he can at least contribute tens of thousands of yuan in rent to the village every year, and there are hundreds of yuan in each person's head. Who wouldn't want to pick it up for nothing.
