Chapter 8 Contracting Barren Mountains

The next day, at dawn, the soft sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and onto the country road.

Li Tian hurriedly went to the village director Wang Changgui to discuss the matter of contracting the barren mountain.

Li Tian came to the door of Wang Changgui's house and shouted: "Uncle Changgui, are you home?"

A delicate voice said: "Who is it?"

"I, Li Tian, ​​have something to discuss with Uncle Changgui." Li Tian said.

"It's Brother Tian! Come in quickly, my father is in the room!" Wang Xiangxiu said.

Li Tian walked into the yard and saw Wang Changgui's daughter Xiangxiu holding a basket of clothes and preparing to hang them out to dry.

Wang Xiangxiu smiled and said, "Brother Tian, ​​what do you want to do with my father?"

Li Tian scratched his head and said, "Well, I want to contract the barren mountain in our village. I came to discuss it with Uncle Changgui."

Xiangxiu's eyes lit up: "Hey, Brother Tian, ​​you really have an idea. Come in quickly, my father has just finished breakfast."

Li Tian walked into the room and saw Wang Changgui sitting on the kang smoking.

Wang Changgui saw Li Tian and said, "Xiaotian, you are here, sit down."

After Li Tian sat down, he got straight to the point and said, "Uncle Changgui, I want to contract that barren mountain. Do you think it's okay?"

Wang Changgui frowned and took a puff of cigarette: "Xiaotian, that barren mountain is of no value, why are you targeting it?"

Li Tian said sincerely, "Uncle Changgui, I'm just trying to see what I can do. It's a waste to leave this barren mountain uncultivated. I just thought that maybe I could tap into some potential."

Wang Changgui flicked the ash off his cigarette and said slowly, "Xiaotian, I'm not trying to discourage you. I know that mountain too well. The land is barren and the water source is insufficient. It's really not a place to make a fortune."

Li Tian's eyes were firm, and he did not back down. "Uncle Changgui, I know it's difficult, but how can I know it won't work if I don't try? Technology is advanced now, maybe there are new planting methods or breeding projects that are suitable there."

Wang Changgui saw Li Tian was so determined and sighed: "Okay, Xiaotian, then uncle will support you. But this matter still needs to be discussed with other cadres and the opinions of the villagers."

Li Tian nodded quickly: "Thank you, Director. But, Uncle Changgui, do you think it can be done today?"

After saying that, Li Tian took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and put it into Wang Changgui's hand.

Wang Changgui was stunned for a moment, looked at the Huazi in his hand, and then looked up at Li Tian.

He showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Xiaotian, it's not that I don't want to help you with this matter today, but we really have to go through the process, and we can't be so hasty."

Li Tian hurriedly said, "Uncle Changgui, I am really worried, please be flexible."

Wang Changgui pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaotian, okay! I will gather several village committee members and cadres to discuss it."

Immediately, Wang Changgui brought Li Tian to the village committee.

Wang Changgui turned on the loud speaker and shouted: "Accountant Xu, Xie Guangkun, Wang Laoqi, Zhao Si, Liu Neng, after hearing the broadcast, come to the village committee for a meeting."

Li Fu is at Wang Laoqi's house.

He came early in the morning to repay the five thousand yuan he borrowed from Wang Laoqi.

When Li Fu heard the broadcast, he guessed that it was about his nephew Li Tian contracting a barren mountain.

Li Fu handed the money to Wang Laoqi and said, "Seventh Brother, you have to help Xiaotian talk to him later. He plans to contract the barren hills in the village."

Wang Laoqi took the money and said, "Li Fu, don't worry, as long as this matter is reliable, I will definitely help you."

Wang Laoqi gave the money to Xiao Meng's mother and hurried to the village committee.

He arrived at the village committee and everyone sat together.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wang Changgui said, "Li Tian wants to contract the barren mountain in our village. Everyone please express your opinions."

Xie Guangkun immediately jumped out and said, "What can we do with that barren mountain? I don't think it's possible! The land is barren and there is a lack of water. Investing in it is just a waste of money! Li Tian is a young man who doesn't know the immensity of the world. He still wants to develop it. It's just a foolish dream!"

Liu Neng echoed from the side: "Guangkun is right, this matter is unreliable, we can't let Xiaotian mess around."

Zhao Si took a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "I think we can let Xiaotian give it a try. It's a good thing for young people to have ideas. What if it works?"

Accountant Xu straightened his hat and said seriously, "From an economic perspective, this does involve risks, but if there is a detailed plan and a feasible solution, there is still a chance."

At this time, Wang Laoqi spoke up: "I think Xiaotian is a determined and smart kid. Since he wants to do it, we should support him and give him a chance to try."

Wang Changgui listened to everyone's discussion, thought for a moment and then said: "Li Tian, ​​tell us your specific ideas and plans."

Li Tian cleared his throat and took out the plan he had prepared long ago: "Uncles, I plan to plant some drought-resistant fruit trees on the barren hills, such as walnut trees and jujube trees. Then dig a few wells to solve the water problem. At the same time, I also plan to introduce some special breeding projects, such as native chicken breeding. In the later stage, if it develops well, we can also open farmhouses to attract city people to come here for leisure and vacation."

Xie Guangkun curled his lips in disdain: "That sounds good, but how much will it cost? Can it pay off? I think you are just acting rashly and you are acting on impulse!"

Li Tian replied calmly: "Uncle Guangkun, I have two options. One is that I will directly pay to contract the barren mountain and the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. According to the policy, the contract will be for 70 years at a time, and the contract fee will be paid in full."

Li Tian paused and continued: "The other option is for me to cooperate with the village. I will provide all the funds and technology, and the village will invest in land. After the profit is made, it will be divided into 30% and 70% respectively, 70% for me and 30% for the village. In this plan, every villager will get a dividend after the profit is made."

Xie Guangkun said sarcastically: "Humph, dividends? That's easy to say, but when the time comes, you will lose everything. Let's see how you end up!"

Liu Neng's eyes lit up: "Can I get dividends? That's fine."

Xie Guangkun sneered: "Humph, it sounds good, but you still want to share profits? If there is a loss, the whole village will be in trouble."

Liu Neng rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask me, 70 years is too long to contract for a property. What if something unexpected happens during this period?"

Wang Laoqi said: "I think Xiaotian is very thoughtful. As long as the plan is reasonable, it is not impossible to accomplish it."

Zhao Si took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I still say the same thing. Xiaotian can give it a try."

Accountant Xu nodded: "Xiaotian is a college student. He wants to start a career. We should support him."

Wang Changgui said: "Li Tian, ​​both of your plans have their pros and cons. Which one do you prefer?"

Li Tian said firmly: "Uncle Changgui, I personally prefer to cooperate with the village, so that everyone can share the risks and benefits, and it can also mobilize everyone's enthusiasm."

Xie Guangkun said sarcastically: "Humph, that sounds nice, but who knows what you're thinking."

At this time, Wang Xiangxiu, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but said, "Uncle Guangkun, how can you say that about Brother Tian? He is only thinking about the good of the village."

Xie Guangkun glared at Wang Xiangxiu and said, "What do you know, little kid? This is the village committee's business, don't get involved."

Wang Changgui waved his hand: "Everyone stop arguing, let's vote and see which plan everyone supports."

Everyone started voting. Accountant Xu was not a committee member and had no voting rights, so he was responsible for recording.

Liu Neng quietly approached Zhao Si and threatened in a low voice: "Zhao Si, you must support the first option, otherwise Liu Ying and Yutian's marriage will be in jeopardy."

Zhao Si glanced at Liu Neng, looking helpless, and said nothing.

Xie Guangkun was not idle either. He pulled Wang Laoqi and whispered, "Seventh Brother, don't be confused. The first option has no risk to our village. You have to support it!"

Wang Laoqi frowned and gave Xie Guangkun a look of disdain.

When the voting was finally over, Wang Changgui announced: "After voting, the village committee passed the first option by a vote of three to two, which means that Li Tian will directly pay to contract the barren mountain and the wasteland at the foot of the mountain."

Li Tian's expression didn't change at all, he just shook his head.
