The Big Landlord

Finally, when Grain Rain, the last solar term of this spring, all the land in Xiushui Bay was planted with aloe vera seedlings. A gust of late spring breeze blew by, and the young seedlings carried the villagers’ expectations and hopes, swaying their small waists. Limbs, dancing in the ground.

In order to buy these high-priced seedlings, none of the villagers in Quanxiushuiwan was in debt. They borrowed money from relatives and friends, and there was not much food left. The most owed more than 100,000 yuan, and a single household like Mr. Li also owed more than 10,000 yuan.

Because of this, everyone’s relatively loose and wealthy life suddenly became poor. Originally, they would eat pork once every two or three days, but now they have to eat it only once a week. Going to the market to sell, and occasionally cooking delicious food at home, and no longer sharing a bowl of food with others, and only caring about satisfying your own gluttony. This situation is gradually a bit like living in the opposite door in the city. I don't know what you look like.

Life is so tight, but none of the villagers has ever asked Wang Ben for a loan. Even Ma Yunxiu, Zheng Kehuo and some other villagers who have not had a bad relationship have never come to him. Everyone, still no one mentioned it.

The newly renovated luxury house has become quiet again, a little deserted. In the past, some villagers would always go to the entertainment room to play mahjong, play cards, and play billiards every day, but now it is empty.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Ben was also very helpless. If he wanted to improve the relationship with the villagers and return to the previous happy life, it would be impossible for a while, so he had to take his time.

She has no land, no livestock, and no place to visit, so she can only stay at home, accompany Linglong to do her homework, tease the stupid little pig, cook, read, and stay at home all day.

After staying quietly like this for several days, finally, at the end of April in the Gregorian calendar, a few days before the May 1st labor holiday, Wang Ben collected his mood, packed his clothes, stepped on his motorcycle again, and went straight to the village committee. go.

In the office of the village committee of Hetai Village, only the village head Yang Zhigao and Huiji were there. The party secretary Mao Zongwen and the women's director should be busy with their own farm work.

When he came to Yang Zhigao, Wang Ben showed a smile and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Yang, can you sell the Daqing Mountain behind Xiushui Bay to me?"

"Sell?" Yang Zhigao opened his mouth for a while, then asked in disbelief, "You want to buy?"

"Yes, I want to buy it," Wang Ben replied with great certainty, nodding his head and smiling brightly.

"Why did you buy it?" Yang Zhigao was very puzzled. Out of good intentions, he solemnly emphasized, "There are regulations on contracting forest land, and you can't cut it down indiscriminately."

"I know that well," Wang Ben said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, it will never cause any trouble to the village committee and the villagers."

"This..." Yang Zhigao didn't know how to answer for a while.

Almost 20 years have passed since the land was distributed to each household in 1979. There have been some purchases of homesteads in the village, at most one mu or two mu, and Wang Ben bought a mountain when he opened his mouth. You know, Daqing Mountain The forest land on the mountain covers an area of ​​more than 300 mu, and he really doesn't know how to deal with it.

In any case, if this transaction can really be facilitated, it will definitely boost the village's economy. Yang Zhigao thought for a while and said, "I can't decide this matter. I have to contact the county forestry bureau."

Accompanied by Yang Zhigao, Wang Ben went straight to the county without stopping.

People from the Forestry Bureau were also very surprised when they heard about it.

After some detailed inquiries, they learned that Wang Ben's use was legitimate and would not damage the natural environment. After discussion, he finally agreed to the deal.

The sale and purchase of forest land is no different from renting and contracting. You still can’t cut down trees at will, even if you plant them yourself. Every time you cut down, you need to report and approve, and the quantity can’t be too large. One advantage is that it can be used for a longer time and can be controlled independently.

Because of these rules and regulations, the investment value of forest land is really not high, even renting and contracting is difficult, and the buying and selling price is naturally not comparable to that of cultivated land. With the efforts of the village head Yang Zhigao, after a period of discussion and negotiation, the final price was 3,000 yuan a piece. The price of the acre was sold.

The total forest land area of ​​Daqing Mountain is 340 mu. After paying 1.02 million, together with the forest right certificate and logging certificate, after several days of back and forth, Wang Ben finally owned the land use right of this forest for 50 years. .

So far, after Wang Ben bought the homestead, he once again owned a piece of land in Xiushui Bay, a piece of land that belonged to him, and it was a large piece of land!

If it weren't for the aloe vera seedling incident that left him without land to grow, he would never have thought of buying a mountain, a piece of forest land that everyone thought was unprofitable.

In fact, choosing the way of contracting and renting, an acre of forest land is only 20-30 yuan per year, which is more than half the price. The reason why Wang Ben bought it directly is also after careful consideration.

Daqing Mountain is owned by the collective. No one has managed it all year round, and it has not been assigned to each family. However, due to historical reasons, it completely belongs to Xiushuiwan. I chose to buy it. Except for a small part, the vast majority will be distributed to the villagers of Xiushui Bay according to the head.

There are nearly 300 people in Xiushui Bay. Although it is only about 3,000 yuan per person in the end, it can help the villagers to some extent and help them overcome their current predicament. Anyway, renting land is the same as buying land. Use, why not choose to buy directly, it can be regarded as subsidizing everyone in a legitimate and reasonable way.

There is another important reason that prompted Wang Ben to directly buy Daqing Mountain. During the period of renting villagers' land to grow vegetables, whether it was the intrusion of the silk factory or the incident of aloe seedlings frying, he deeply felt a kind of Helpless, the sense of powerlessness that the land does not belong to oneself.

He doesn't want to use Daqing Mountain when he is about to start a vigorous career, and be disturbed by the outside world, or be ruthlessly taken away. He will not allow such a thing to happen again. Under the premise of agricultural and forestry rules, it has absolute autonomy and control.

On a sunny morning, he strolled to the foot of Daqing Mountain, looking at the lush forest, Wang Ben smiled knowingly.

From now on, in the next fifty years, every flower, every tree, every tree, every stone and soil here will be under his control.

I haven't figured out what to use it for yet, but with such a large piece of land, there are plenty of things to do and some business opportunities to dig.

Don't worry about that much for now, let's get familiar with this piece of woodland that belongs to us.

Holding his head up and smiling slightly, he strode up the stairs up the mountain.
