C764 Two Big Events
Kang Ying thought Shi Jiangyuan was a little tired, so she took the initiative and went to the kitchen. She fried a poached egg, fried a biscuit, fried a thin piece of meat, told Shi Jiangyuan to make some rolls for him to eat, and also made a pot of golden needle mushroom and tofu soup.
The two of them ate with relish as they were both natural ingredients. They also bought the wheat flour in the village. Kang Ying said as she ate,
"Speaking of which, I forgot to contact the village chief. I'll call him later and tell him about the repair." "Actually, I think the number of people in the village farming is getting smaller and smaller, and the land is getting abandoned. I have an idea to talk to the Village Head about it in passing."
"What idea?" Shi Jiangyuan said, "It's not surprising that the land is deserted. Everyone is working in the city and working so hard in the fields. When we harvest rice in the summer, we get sun on our head, leeches at our feet and rice powder on our bodies.
When the seedlings were planted on the farmland in the spring, the water was bone-chilling cold. Standing barefooted in the farmland and bending over for a whole day to the point that his waist was about to break, it was truly hard work.
Looking for a job in the city and working on any assembly line now would earn one seventy to eighty dollars a month. Compared to the village, of course people would be willing to go out.
In the future, the number of farmers would be fewer and fewer. Only the elderly in the village will continue to farm. "
"That's right, so I want to contract all of these lands, convert them into cash and rent them from the villagers for 20 years. Afterwards, we will grow harmless grains for our own family to eat on this piece of land."
Kang Ying knew that in the rural areas where they were farming, they used convenient and fast chemical fertilizers and highly effective insecticidal pesticides. However, she had forgotten to feed the land back and cultivate the soil's fertility, so the rice grains grew more and more tasteless and the corresponding toxic residues remained.
Kang Ying had thought of this with foresight, and seeing that the village was becoming more and more deserted, she had thought of it.
Although Shi Jiangyuan didn't have any idea about the concept of healthy organic food, he felt that Kang Ying's words were reasonable. If he took the land and hired people to grow it, he could grow whatever he wanted and, like Kang Ying said, it would be safe and pretty good.
If this village called Yanggu Village were to really go through such a ruckus, it would be like becoming their paradise.
After Kang Ying finished her meal, she called the village chief. The village chief obviously remembered Kang Ying's call, so when he received the call, he immediately called back.
Kang Ying had told him these two things, and the Village Head had told him that he could not explain it over the phone. He would come back tomorrow to discuss it with Kang Ying, but judging from his tone, the Village Head was in favor of it.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan spent the whole day tiring, had a hot bath, and then snuggled together to watch TV for a while. When they saw the financial news from the national news, they lazily fell asleep.
On the morning of the second day, just as Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan finished their breakfast, the village chief shook the metal door with a sound of "Hua Hua Hua".
Kang Ying opened the door to welcome the Village Head into the house. The Village Head had a worn out look on his face as he rode his bicycle back from the county.
It would only take 10 minutes to drive to the county city, but it would take at least half an hour to ride a bicycle. Kang Ying quickly asked the village chief, "Village Chief, have you eaten yet?"
The village chief replied, "Yes, I did. The old woman cooked the porridge and I rushed here early in the morning. After hearing what you had said yesterday, I was very excited." This has caused a huge change in the village. I couldn't sit still any longer. If it wasn't for the fact that you called too late yesterday, I would have come running. "
Kang Ying did not expect the village chief to be so excited. It seemed that she was in agreement with this idea. She smiled and said,
We can pay for the road repair, but I'm afraid that during this period of time, there will be some villagers who do not understand and will have conflicts with us. Thus, we donated the road repair entire funds, so the village chief does not need to tell the villagers in detail.
In addition, if the road construction requires the eradication of young seedlings or the requisition of land, also ask the village head to step in and coordinate, so as to avoid provoking conflict with the villagers. A reasonable compensation is possible, but it would be bad if there was no reason to ask for it. "
"I understand. I must finish the thought process first. Otherwise, it will be like a broken chicken nest. It's fine if you leave it lying there. If you really want to remove it, he can use a kitchen knife and fight you to the death."
The Village Head was born and bred in the village, of course he understood some of the villagers' morals.
The majority of the villagers were honest and kind, but there were also some who were calculating and very paranoid.
Seeing the Village Head's supportive attitude made Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan feel more at ease.
The villagers would only remember that he had planned to build this road. As the village head, if he could build a path for the villagers during his term of office, then everyone would remember him from generation to generation.
As a rural person, there was nothing much to ask of him. The most important thing was to maintain a good reputation. Therefore, the Village Head was very active in promoting this matter.
Kang Ying continued, "Also, can you see if you can discuss it with the villagers? I would like to contract the land in the village for 300 yuan per acre per year. How about renting it for 10 years? I'll pay the rent in one go. "
Kang Ying's price was calculated based on the information that she had read in the future. At that time, an acre of land could produce 1,100 catties of rice and the usual price offered by a buyer was 122 yuan per 100 catties. The total income per mu of land is 1,342 yuan.
The cost of growing rice per mu: 100 yuan for grain planting, 105 yuan for mechanization (including harvesting and transportation), 141 yuan for fertilizer (including compound fertilizer and urea), and 100 yuan for pesticide (including compound fertilizer and urea). Total cost: 100 + 105 + 141 + 100 = 446 yuan
According to the above data, the rice yield per mu is 1,342 yuan, minus 446 yuan in cost, leaving a balance of 896 yuan.
And how many days do the rice farmers have to go to the fields for a season? Herbicide, ploughing, seedling throwing, dressing, irrigation, fertilizer spraying, cultivation, drainage, harvesting, it is estimated that it will take at least 20 days!
By the lowest wage, it was 1,180 yuan a month. The average daily labor cost was 39 yuan in 20 days, which was 780 yuan. That was equivalent to a net income of 116 yuan per mu of land.
Therefore, even if Kang Ying were to pay three hundred yuan per acre in future generations' prices, it would still be considered high. As long as he rented out the land, he would receive a net income of three hundred yuan, which was quite good for farmers, not to mention the fact that the current prices were so low and the income from farming was not that high yet.
Although the village chief had stopped farming, he had a basic understanding of the situation. When he heard that Kang Ying wanted to pay three hundred yuan for a year of rent, he was shocked and said:
"This is a loss, don't do it anymore. Even if the grain yield per mu of land is high, it can't be sold for 400 yuan a year!"
