Lisco's American Life

After a good sleep, Lisko woke up according to his biological clock. Looking at the bright weather, he shook his head helplessly, packed up his personal hygiene, and walked out of the castle.

I came to the stable and carefully selected the horses that I would use later. After the last time they were infected with the virus, all the original horses were disposed of by Payne. Although I was a little reluctant to give them up, for the safety of everyone, I still

Did this.

Not only the horses in the castle, but all the cowboy horses in the entire ranch were also replaced with newly purchased quarter horses.

After choosing back and forth, I really didn’t know which one to ride, so I casually led a chestnut-colored, majestic-looking horse out of the stable and got on the horse.

These purchased horses were all bought from pastures that specialize in horse training and were trained to be very docile. After Lisko sat on him, the horses showed no resistance and just snorted.

"drive,"

Lisko raised the reins in his hand and sent a signal to the horse underneath him. The horse immediately understood and began to pace slightly, and then started running faster and faster.

His body was constantly rising and falling with the movement of the horse's spine. He felt the wind blowing in his ears, and his mood became much better. He ran directly to the foot of the mountain and paused to rest for a while.

He took out the water bottle he carried with him, drank some water, and fed the horse a few carrots he brought from the stable before sitting on the ground and enjoying the sunshine.

This is also the reason why Lisko likes to stay at the ranch. Every time he comes back from outside, he just rides a horse and gallops around his own territory. In an instant, he feels that his energy is restored again, and all the worries of the outside world are left behind. It is incomparable.

of tranquility.

I stroked the already high grass with my hands. The spring grass was growing vigorously and looked very gratifying. I believe that with the feeding of these grasses, the cattle will grow up quickly, and then the dry pasture accounts will continue to be rich.

stand up.

Feeling that he had regained his strength, Lisko stood up again and ran towards the castle. Being able to ride a horse and run to his heart's content every morning made him feel full of energy all day long.

"gentlemen."

When he returned to the castle, David was waiting at the gate of the ranch. It seemed that he had something to discuss. Liske looked at his sweat-wet shirt, shrugged helplessly, motioned to the other party to wait, and then put his hand

He handed the reins to Payne, and went upstairs alone, cleaned himself, changed into decent clothes, and then returned to the living room.

"Okay, what's going on?"

Lisko took the black tea handed over by the maid and took a leisurely sip. His hair was still wet and draped messily on his shoulders. He always had a lazy temperament.

"Sir, I just went to a rancher's gathering nearby and got some bad news."

David looked cautious, paused, and continued to speak.

"That's right. Les next to us wants to sell his ranch and choose to move away from this place. However, the target of the transaction is a group, and the purpose of the acquisition is to build a chemical plant here."

Lisko was a little surprised when he first heard about Les. This man had betrayed him. Although he generously remembered his previous friendship and did not add insult to injury, it did not mean that he wanted to hear news about the other party.

.

Just hearing the second half of the sentence, the expression on his face froze instantly, chemical plant? How can this thing be built in Garrison? If it is built, the town itself will be dominated by ranchers, facing a seriously polluted place.

The surrounding land may no longer be used for grazing, and his hometown is beginning to be destroyed by pollution.

"What's everyone's opinion?"

Lisko thought about the consequences if he succeeded and asked David.

"Everyone seems to have no good idea. They are planning to gather together and hold a march to protest this decision."

David smiled bitterly.

Lisko arrived immediately and was speechless. Parade? This is really an American characteristic. Their biggest hobby is to go to the streets to hold demonstrations to protest this and that, but in the end there are not many things that can be solved.

"Forget it, don't count on them anymore,"

Lisko said with some disappointment. After all, these people seemed to have no ability to change things. Besides protesting, they had no better way to change things.

"Do our officials all agree? They clearly know that if this decision is passed, it will definitely have a great impact on the ranching industry in Garrison. Moreover, we are still developing B&B and tourism projects, and everything will be in vain by then.

Already."

Lisko looked at David curiously, believing that those politicians would not be so short-sighted.

“The main reason is that the efficiency of many of our ranches declined last year, and the income from tourism just covered the losses. They did not receive much tax revenue, but the chemical factory is different. Every year, a stable tax is paid to the state.

The government also hopes to transform this place into an industrialized city that can absorb some factories and capitalists to attract jobs and boost the economy. As for pollution, it is not within their scope of consideration."

David said angrily. This kind of trading the future for the present is completely intolerable for a ranch cowboy.

Lisko thought for a while, if he had opened his mouth to acquire Les's ranch, these things would have stopped happening. However, although he did not add insult to injury, Les was able to fall into this situation, and there are some reasons of his own.

It's not that he gave up on Les, the other party might still be making a difference in the political arena.

The recent virus infection incident was a heavy blow to the opponent. He did not have the courage of Lisko to destroy them all at once in the early stage, eliminating the possibility of continued infection.

Les Ranch suffered heavy losses and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. Faced with this predicament, it was understandable that the other party chose to sell this ancestral property and find another place to develop again.

Touching his chin helplessly, Lisko's mind turned rapidly, trying to find a better solution.

He plans to pass this pasture on to future generations, and he also wants his children to be able to run and grow up happily in this green pasture where the ancestors of the Li family lived.

If the chemical factory succeeds, all of this will be reduced to nothing.

Thinking of this, Lisko made up his mind and must do his best to organize, so that the black-smoking factory could not be successfully established next to his ranch.

"You go find some connections and see if Les is willing to sell to us. If we buy it, the size of our ranch will expand again. It's best to find another rancher to buy it. We are only responsible for paying. I believe Les will be the same."

As a rancher, if the price is right, he will definitely give priority to selling it to us."
