I really just want to make money

Chapter 71

"What way?" The village chief asked in surprise.

Zhang Hua thought for a while and said, "Now there are basically three generations of a family living under the same roof. The old people are not old yet, and the young people are already strong. Our land here can no longer support so many people.

It is a national policy for the country to develop the coast and earn foreign exchange manually. It is the general trend for us inland people to go out to work to make a living, and this cannot be changed. "

Kang Rushan drank the wine in the bowl, stopped the bowl and said angrily: "This is naked exploitation!"

"There is no way. Who told us to be poor? It's like two families. One is poor and the other is rich. The poor family can only work for the rich family to save their wealth and make a fortune."

"Steal his mother!"

Zhang Hua smiled wryly. It took a lot of effort to protect himself, so how could he rob his mother?
Kang Rushan was just saying angry words, and then sighed: "It's better to be an old man!"

"Actually, they are not too different. The old Maozi also needs to be divided into periods. After all, not everyone is Davari!"

"What does Davari's mean?" Zhang Qin asked inexplicably.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang's father's mouth, and said: "It should be comrades. When I was a teenager building the railway, there was an old Maozi expert. Everyone called him Davari."

"Isn't the relationship between Lao Maozi and us very tense?"

"That was something that happened later. At the beginning, the relationship between Lao Maozi and us was very good, and he helped us a lot. We must remember to recognize and be grateful for this, just like Fusang's relationship with us is not bad now, but he is also very grateful. We must not forget the suffering it brought us in the past." Kang Rushan said with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Hua smiled, and said to Zhang Qin: "These problems are too big for you, just know it, don't need to delve into it, you should study hard now."

"All the young and old have gone out to work, and I'm afraid there will be only children and old people who are studying at home." Kang Rushan sighed.

The rapid development of the country was initially achieved by these young people who left the old people and children to go out to work and earn penny by penny.

"We have too little land, even if only the elderly are at home, the land is actually not enough to grow." Zhang Hua thought for a while, and said: "Instead of traditional farming, it is better to plant some cash crops."

"Grow what?"

"Sichuan peppercorn."

Kang Rushan raised his eyebrows and said: "There are about ten acres of pepper trees in the village. No one is willing to contract them in the past two years. It takes too much effort. There is nothing to do except labor. Why don't you first take out the pepper trees in the village? Ten acres of pepper groves contracted?"

"Okay!" Zhang Hua nodded and asked, "How much is the contract fee?"

"Do you really want to contract?"

Zhang Hua nodded and said with a smile, "Just tell me how much it is?"

"It used to be 5000 yuan a year. You know this. I'll drop you 4000 yuan, and [-] yuan a year will do."

"No need, just 5000 yuan a year, lest you see me making money in the future, and feel uncomfortable and come to me to make trouble, and don't take advantage of you."

Father Zhang nodded on the side, and said with a smile: "You kid really wants to take advantage of your cousin, he probably won't say anything, he took advantage of the pepper forest, and he might really make trouble with you."

"Nonsense, that's the pepper forest of the public." Kang Rushan laughed.

Zhang Qin and Kang Youming were a bit contemptuous of the old man for being so upright and shameless.

Zhang Hua and his parents were not surprised at all, they smiled and said, "Then let's pay 5000 yuan for a year's contract fee. I can contract for five years, and the contract fee is paid every year."

"If you really want to make money, why don't you contract for a longer period?" Kang Rushan asked.

Zhang Hua raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you really want to make money, are you willing to let me contract for such a long time?"

According to Zhang Hua's estimation, five years is already the limit of the old man's tolerance. If it takes longer, the old man will definitely make a fuss with Zhang Hua, either by raising the contract fee a lot, or taking the pepper forest back directly.

Kang Rushan nodded and said, "Okay then, come to the village department tomorrow and let's sign a contract."

Of course, Zhang Hua is well aware of the pepper forest in the village. They are all ten-year-old trees. It used to be a piece of rocky millet land. It was not easy to grow crops, so it was planted with pepper trees.

That was when we were eating big pots of rice. At that time, the county even sent technicians to support them, so no matter the variety or the distance between plants, these are very good.

There are more than [-] old trees in ten acres of land. Because the pepper trees are thorny and old trees are closed, it is very troublesome to pick and fertilize. The management cannot keep up with the production and it is not too high.

The next day, after Zhang Hua went to the village to sign the contract and paid the money, he went to the Zanthoxylum bungeanum in person to have a look. The yield of dried Zanthoxylum per tree was only about two catties.

Fortunately, the price of pepper is very expensive now. A pound of dried pepper is about 15 yuan, so the pepper in this pepper forest can be sold for [-] yuan. Excluding the contract fee of [-], this year's management fee is [-] , there are still ten thousand pieces left.

Of course, the 1 yuan needs to be picked and sold.

With the traditional difficulty of picking peppercorns, it is basically not very profitable. After all, it is really difficult to pick peppercorns in a sealed forest full of thorns.

The reason why Zhang Hua wants to contract it is because later generations have already changed the picking method, from picking directly from the pepper tree to picking after pruning.

This not only makes picking much easier, but also extends the picking period from 20 days to two months. After all, pruning can start picking from the green pepper.

It is also easier to fertilize after pruning the branches.

Moreover, this kind of old tree is well managed, and the fertilizer can keep up. It is not a problem to produce four catties of peppercorns per tree.

Even 5 trees can produce [-] catties, and with the price rising a bit with inflation, it is not a problem to sell them for [-] yuan.

The parents who followed Zhang Hua to see the forest were not very optimistic about the pepper forest. They just thought that their son was not short of money anyway, and the contract fee of 5000 yuan for the forest would not lose money. Even if they were doing the village a favor, That's why Zhang Hua was not discouraged from contracting it.

Kang Youming also followed, looking at the densely packed forest, he said, "Well, brother Huazi, I won't help you pick peppercorns. You know, I was stabbed badly by peppercorns when I was young, and I have a shadow in my heart. Looking at this forest is a little scary now.

Can peppers really make money? "

"It's sure to make money."

Zhang Hua was not worried about not being able to make money, but a little worried about making too much money. The old man Kang Rushan got into a fight with his parents.

With an income of tens of thousands of yuan a year, the old man will definitely feel that he has suffered a big loss with so much money. With the same amount of money, his parents will definitely not give in when the time comes.

It's Zhang Hua's business that Zhang Hua has money. Zhang Hua also has a younger sister, Zhang Qin, who is studying. The old couple have to save some money for their youngest daughter.
