Great Power Army Reclamation

Chapter 594 Zhang Laoshi

This is a very honest farmer family, and the population structure is simple, with only one person. And his name is Zhang Laoshi. His parents passed away a few years ago, and he has never been married. He is now 36 years old.

It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but that his family is too poor and no daughter dares to marry him. The walls of several adobe houses were already mottled with pits. The soil on the roof has almost been washed away. Whenever it rained, he would move his bed to a corner of the house, which was the only place in the house that did not leak.

When my parents were around, there was still a sense of life in the house. At least three meals a day are on time. Even if you cook half a pot of wild vegetables, at least it is considered cooking. But since the death of his parents, the family has not opened fire for an unknown period of time.

When I'm hungry, I just grab something from the ground and eat it. Anyway, some things will be planted on the mountains contracted by others. In addition, there will be no shortage of wild fruits in the mountains, especially chestnuts here. Famous throughout the country.

Farmers here choose places with gentler slopes to grow food. Although the harvest is average, it can still provide enough food for the family. As for income, it depends on the fruit trees on the mountain, especially chestnuts. Picking and selling this crop every autumn is enough to cover a year's expenses.

But fruit trees also need management, such as watering and fertilizing. Pest-proof. Otherwise, where would the output come from? But Zhang Laoshi never paid attention to this and only took a look at the fruits when they were ripe. If there are still some branches left, let people pick them and sell them. This is the time of year when he lives the most luxurious life, and the aroma of meat can be smelled at home every day.

But because he didn't care about anything, the days when he could eat meat were few and far between. The mountain he divided contains coal, which many people know. It was precisely because of the coal that he got his turn. Because I don’t like growing things.

People of that era were honest and never thought that they could make money by digging out coal. After all, it was the property of the country. Therefore, even though the coal on Zhang Laoshi Mountain is exposed, no one digs it. Including himself.

Gao Laifu finally found out about this. Zhang Laoshi's home was in the far west of Fengrun. Gao Laifu's home is in the east, so he learned the news relatively late.

He didn't quite believe it at first, so he drove to Zhang Laoshi's village and went up the mountain to take a look before he was shocked. The bits of coal exposed on the top of Zhang Laoshi's mountain indicate that it is likely to be an open-pit coal mine.

I picked up a piece casually. It was black and bright in color and very light in texture. This shows that the coal quality is very good. It is definitely a high-quality coal that has a low ignition point but is resistant to burning.

Gao Laifu suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked around. Mining here is a bit troublesome. Because it is surrounded by mountains, this area belongs to the middle part. If you want to mine coal here, you must open a road.

Although the mountain is not high, it is obviously not a simple matter to open a road that leads directly to the mountain and can run a large truck. Moreover, we have to pass through other people's mountains, which is very troublesome.

You must know that the farmers of that era would fight tooth and nail if you destroyed their trees and farmland. And I don’t care about your compensation, after all, it is compared to the land that can be passed down from generation to generation. People look down upon your little money.

Gao Laifu frowned and thought for a while, then decided to go take a look inside the village. The branch secretary here knows a friend of his, so he wants to find out the situation first. By the way, who is the owner of this mountain? After all, some farmers will not let you destroy their land no matter how much money you give them.

The party secretary of this village is over fifty years old and his name is Zhang Dayou. Compared with other villagers, he is much more moisturized, and his body is actually slightly fatter, which shows that he is living a good life.

When the two met, Gao Laifu reported his friend's name. He handed over a large front door again, and the two people quickly became friendly. After talking about some common friends, Gao Laifu changed his tone and directly explained his purpose.

Zhang Dayou frowned. The villagers didn't know about the coal mine, but he knew. As for giving the top of the mountain to Zhang Laoshi, it was really not that he was bullying others, but that he had his own plans.

Zhang is honest and obedient, and he is also his nephew who has not been out of the fifth server, so he can work easily when something happens. Once it is distributed to other farmers, he, the party secretary, has no good solution. That's a twenty-year contract!

Zhang Dayou looked at Gao Laifu calmly, waiting for Gao Laifu to bid. Although he knew about coal mines, he didn't know how much this thing could be sold for?

Gao Laifu did not beat around the bush: "Brother Zhang, I will spend 50,000 yuan on this mountain for ten years, and then I will level it and return it to you."

Zhang Dayou was shocked. Their village was poor. Because there is basically no flat land, the crops have always been poor. In the past two years, due to the opening of farmers' markets, various fruits have begun to be sold, especially chestnuts.

Even so, a high family income is only 700 to 800 yuan a year. This 50,000 yuan is enough for an ordinary family to earn nearly a hundred years. And they didn’t buy it, they just rented it for ten years.

Although Zhang Dayou was about to jump with excitement in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. Being a grassroots cadre for decades is not for free. Be stable, be sure to be stable. He kept telling himself in his mind.

Sure enough, Gao Laifu was a little anxious when he saw Zhang Dayou remained calm. After all, it was his first time dealing with him and he didn't understand this person's temper.

"Brother Zhang, I know that this hilltop has been contracted out. As long as you help me get this person to let me mine coal, I will give you 10,000 yuan alone." Gao Laifu threw out another cake. Gao Laifu is also a local after all. Find out how much people here earn. So the price offered is irresistible but not greedy.

Zhang Dayou finally lost his composure and stood up and offered his own price: "If I contract this hilltop to you, you give me sixty-two thousand yuan!" He did not dare to add more, and the two thousand yuan was already enough. It frightened him.

"Okay, brother Zhang, be happy. Let's make it this way! When the time comes, we'll hand over the money and deliver the goods! Then when will I come?"

Zhang Dayou thought for a moment: "Come over in three days and take the money with you."

Gao Laifu nodded, then shook hands and left. When I got in the car, I saw that there was a large front door in the car, so I simply took it out and stuffed it directly into Zhang Dayou.

Seeing the car disappearing with dust at the end of the path, Zhang Dayou weighed the cigarette in his hand. It's not like he has never smoked this cigarette before, but he has never owned a whole cigarette in his entire life.

Walking home slowly, my wife was already preparing lunch. The grandchildren gathered around grandma and were watching her knead the dough. It looked like they were going to eat white flour layer cakes today.

Zhang Dayou couldn't help but smack his lips. His wife's thousand-layer cake is famous in the village. It's yellow on the outside and juicy on the inside, soft and oily, but my wife is reluctant to eat white noodles. So I can’t eat it more than a few times a year.
