A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

Jian Ping sat on the fence under the big banyan tree, chatting and laughing with the old village chief and others who had come by.The old village chief's house is in the center of the village, no more than 20 meters away from the big banyan tree.Under such circumstances, as long as Jian Ping walked over, he didn't even need to knock the gong to find out that Jian Ping was going to summon the villagers.

So before Jian Ping struck the gong, a group of people living here had gathered under the banyan tree.After Jian Ping struck the gong, there would be time to have a few words with Jian Ping first.

However, everyone still underestimated Jian Ping's 'attractiveness' to everyone in Jian's Village. Before a few people could say a few words, groups of villagers came in groups.

"Little village head, what's going on this time!" Several people walking in front shouted after seeing Jian Ping from a distance.

And because of the other party's yelling, the speed of the people walking behind was a little faster, for fear of missing something good.

Jian Ping stood up with a gentle expression, and waved to everyone. "Let's talk about it after the servants arrive."

After Jian Ping said this, others naturally couldn't say anything more.In order to hear the good news earlier, he naturally called out to the people behind to walk faster.

Originally, the gathering, which was unlikely to gather people together for a quarter of an hour, managed to save nearly half of the time, and the gathering was completed.Seeing such a scene, Jian Liangcai, who had stood aside earlier, was also very moved.

He has worked hard for the village all his life, and he thinks he has done his duty.However, the prestige of more than 30 years may not be much higher than Jian Ping's prestige as the village chief who has been less than three months old.

But Jian Liangcai didn't feel sad or jealous, it was just a feeling.Jian Liangcai is not a person who loves power, otherwise he would not have given up his position to Jian Ping directly.

If it wasn't for the Laotian family's bullying too much, he would have wanted to abdicate as early as more than ten years ago.Until now, it was nothing more than a bad breath held in his chest and unwillingness to reconcile.

So regarding the fact that Jian Ping became the village head, I am afraid that the whole Jian's village, even Jian Dazhu, is not as happy as Jian Liangcai.

As long as he thinks that the old Tian family's plan for more than ten years has not been successful, he feels as if he has eaten ginseng fruit.

Jian Liangcai squinted his eyes and looked at Jian Ping who was standing on the high platform for a while, just like the other ancestors and Jian Dazhu, each of them was sitting aside with a tobacco pot, smoking and listening.

In this small circle, only a few clan elders could come here, but now Jian Dazhu's son is the village chief, so the villagers didn't mind selling him to save face and let Jian Dazhu stay here.

Although it is still muddy land, this small circle symbolizes the rights of Jianjia Village.

As long as there are people, it is impossible to achieve any real equality, so the emergence of such things as hierarchical circles is only a matter of time.

Jian Dazhu looked at Jian Ping, who was above the crowd, with a simple and honest smile.In his hand, he was smoking 50 taels of dry tobacco that Jian Ping specially bought for him, and he felt even more delighted in his heart.

Take small sips in small sips, afraid that if you smoke too fast, you will lose all your money.Although the family situation is getting better and better now, Jian Dazhu still feels bad for the price of 50 taels a catty.

I am also reluctant to smoke on weekdays, and only on such a big occasion are I willing to put a pot and enjoy it.Listening to the clan elders asking what kind of dry tobacco this is, and if it smells a lot better, the smile on Jian Dazhu's face is even bigger.

A few old people were talking over there, and Jian Ping also walked to the high platform.The whole village has assembled, and it's time to talk about what you should do.

"I called everyone here this time to tell you about the renovation of our Jianjia Village." Jian Ping stood tall, on a high platform, with one hand behind his back.He just nodded his head to everyone, and the people below fell completely silent.

"Reform?" The people below all looked up at Jian Ping with blank faces, waiting for Jian Ping's next explanation.

Everyone in the village knows now that the village chief doesn't like trouble, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush.If they don't understand anything, they can ask directly, and the little village head who can speak will speak directly.

And no matter what the plan is, the little village head will explain it clearly to them, so that they can have a bottom line in their hearts.So when encountering such unknown things, the villagers habitually waited for Jian Ping's explanation instead of opening their mouths in disorder.

Jian Ping nodded, and then continued. "The business I'm doing for you now can't last long after all. Basically, you won't be able to make money after summer. So I'm going to renovate the village, so that I can bring you some benefits in winter."

With a 'wow', the people below sat up straight in an instant.For a moment, the voice of whispering was fast and low, and everyone saw the excitement in the eyes of the people around them.

"Village Chief, you can just say what you want to do. We can do whatever you want. Anyway, there will be meat to follow you!" A few members of the village protection team first stood up to support Jian Ping, one by one. His eyes were shining, like a hungry wolf waiting for the money when he saw the meat.

And then, the performance of other villagers is even more so. "Yes, yes, we can do what you say, village chief, and we will listen to you!"

After almost all the people below Jianping expressed their excitement, they raised their hands. In an instant, the people below became quiet again.

"Because the circumstances of the people in the village are different, I first plan to start a business that can make money for everyone. Everyone knows that the world is getting better now, and more and more people go out for fun."

As Jian Ping said, the people below nodded.But even if he nodded, his eyes were still blank.What Jian Ping said was correct, but he still didn't understand what these things had to do with them.

Fortunately, Jian Ping didn't want to test the IQ of the villagers, so he quickly revealed his plan.

"So I plan to turn our village into a tourist attraction."

"Travel? What's that?" "Attractions? What's that?" The people below started asking each other in low voices again, not because of Jian Ping's plan, but because of the meaning of these two words in Jian Ping's plan.

"Traveling means visiting, and scenic spots mean places worth visiting." He spoke too quickly and directly used modern terms.Jian Ping knocked himself on the head in his heart, but on the surface he still kept a serious look, making it impossible for people to see that he just made a slip of the tongue.

"As long as people come to play, those with crafts can sell some handicrafts at home, and those without crafts can also make some snacks. Even if they don't know anything, they can arrange a few vacant rooms at home as places for tourists to rest their feet. Even if there are no vacancies, I will help arrange some other work to ensure that every household has some income."

Jian Ping's business model of farmhouse music, which is very common in later generations, is still too novel at this time.It was so novel that the people below widened their eyes and looked at Jian Ping in disbelief.

But out of trust in Jian Ping, no one thought there was anything wrong with this way of making money.So the next moment, the villagers became more excited.

Once the excitement is over, it's time to talk about something practical.

"But we don't have anything here, what are others looking for?" Jian Liangcai, as expected of the old village head, immediately discovered the crux of the problem.

It's not that he wants to disrupt the situation, Jian Liangcai's question is really worried and puzzled.

Jian Ping nodded slightly at the old village chief, and then continued with a light smile. "Perhaps the people in our village have looked at these bamboo mountains for generations and thought that these bamboo mountains are very common, but for outsiders, these bamboo mountains are very popular among scholars."

Jian Ping stretched out his hand and pointed at the bamboo mountains on three sides of Jian's Village, and the people in Jian's Village were shocked again.

"What? What's so good about this thing?"

"It doesn't matter if we think it looks good or not, as long as others think it looks good. I have made a general plan, and I plan to sort out the bamboo forest on the west side of the village first. In the future, don't cut down the bamboo at will. After the plan is completed, follow the plan. Plan for felling."

To the west of the village are several bamboo hilltops of Jian Liangcai’s family, and several bamboo hilltops of Jian Ping’s family. Although this is what I said, in fact, as long as I discuss it with the old village chief, nothing will happen.What Jian Ping said was just to give the villagers some fresh air and let them have a psychological preparation for the next thing.

Sure enough, without affecting his own interests, no one thought there was any problem with Jian Ping planning the Zhushan in the west.

And the next thing has something to do with other villagers.

"According to my plan, after I spread my fame, people in the village can earn one or two taels of silver every month as long as they know how to say hello, even if they don't know anything. In a year, at least a dozen The income of taels of silver. People with a little bit of craftsmanship, or people who can make some snacks, can earn tens of taels of silver a year, and it’s not a big problem.” Jian Ping knows that if you want others to agree with you, let others see to the maximum benefit.

So before talking about the business, it is natural to draw the big cake first.Sure enough, looking at the villagers who were breathing more and more short of breath because of his words, Jian Ping knew that the matter was at least half done.

"However, the planning of Zhushan cannot be completed in a day or two. To attract tourists, the current situation in our village is not enough." The voice changed, and we began to get to the point.

Sure enough, I saw that the villagers below were driven by huge interests, and they didn't think there was any problem at all.

"Village chief, just tell us what you want us to do!"

It’s no wonder that the villagers are so excited. Take Jian’s family as an example. There are ten acres of dry land and five acres of high-quality paddy fields. Saving one or two taels of silver is considered a good harvest.

But now, Jian Ping's pancakes are too big, and people who don't know anything can have an income of ten taels of silver every year, and what's more, there is the possibility of dozens of taels of silver.

This big pie is too big, big enough to make everyone slightly lose their minds.

Jian Ping pressed his hands again to quiet down the people below. "So before it's done, we have to get the hardware facilities of our village up."

"After all, looking at our current village, we can't leave anyone behind."

Jian Ping looked behind the villagers, and the villagers reflexively followed.After seeing the potholed village roads and dilapidated houses, everyone calmed down completely as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.

Yes, in such an environment, if they could choose, they would not even want to live in it, so how could they allow those rich men and women to live in it?

Jian Ping continued to speak after seeing that the work with one sweet date and one mallet was done well. "So what we have to do now is to repair the roads in the village before the rainy season in September. Other things can be done slowly, but road repairs cannot be delayed."

As Jian Ping said, he took an account book from Tian Wen beside him and shook it at everyone. "All the money for the ancestral hall in the village is with me now, and there is a total of 53 taels of silver. In the previous business, according to the usual practice, I took one out of ten and saved 120 taels of silver. These silvers will be used to build our village The road in the village is going to be repaired in one go and the bluestone slabs will be used directly, so the silver may be a little short, and each villager will donate one tael per household, and the remaining shortfall will be made up by the village's income after passing through."

A family charges one or two taels of silver. If this had been said a month ago, the villagers would have turned against it by now.But speaking now, in this Jianping village, every household has earned a lot of silver, and even hardworking and capable families can earn more than a dozen taels of silver. Now that they say it, the resistance in the hearts of the villagers is much less.

Of course there are people who are reluctant to give up money, but they don't think there is anything wrong with Jian Ping asking for money, it's just that they are simply reluctant to give up money.

Jian Ping will not spoil others, and Jian Ping himself is on guard against the matter of Sheng Mi's kindness and Mi's hatred.In the beginning, he helped the villagers improve their lives in order not to let others bother him.

But if everyone in the village develops the habit of relying on him no matter what, and he Jianping should pay for the village as a matter of course, then it won't work.

So since it is to do things for the village, naturally every household has to contribute some money.Jian Ping couldn't get used to things like getting something for nothing.

Jian Ping knocked on the account book again, his tone was still very calm. "Registering the donation at the gate of the ancestral hall tomorrow morning is purely voluntary, and those who don't want to donate don't force it."

Under the gaze of Jian Ping's swarthy eyes, the phrase "don't force it" just made everyone feel a chill behind their backs, and then their hearts shuddered.

Yes, if you don’t force it, the result of not forcing it is that you will never bring those who don’t pay for good deeds in the future, right?

For a while, even the most stingy Zhang Laojiao in the village began to think about paying the money early in the morning with a sad face.
