Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 255 Voting
The next day.

There was just a hint of red light on the edge of the sky.

People flicker in the newly built rice field in Caogou Village.

Long stools are neatly placed in the center of the venue, and tables and chairs are also placed on the stage.

"Defa, do you vote for or against?"

"Definitely agree, that piece of barren grass is for you, if you want, the Red Soldier Uncle can contract it if he wants."

"That's the reason. You said Uncle Hongbing contracted the meadow for no reason. Did you find something precious?"

"I'm not even jealous when I find gold. If you dare to vote against it, believe it or not, I will smash down your house at night."

"Smash you uncle, I will definitely vote for it."

Everyone in the rice field was whispering.

The villagers discussed nothing more than one topic. The village committee used a loudspeaker last night to say that Uncle Hongbing would contract the meadow, and announced that a village representative meeting would be held in the rice field at the entrance of the village this morning. Each household, regardless of gender, would appoint a person to be a representative.

As the sun rises.

Villagers came to the rice field one after another, but unlike in the past, joking and joking, today was exceptionally quiet.

On the rice field, several groups of people each occupy a corner.

A group is headed by Uncle Yandai, Aunt Jinhua, Uncle Lao Liang, and Uncle Misty; a gang is led by Da Kui, Tie Zhu, Fu Sheng, Shui Sheng, Lao Gen, and De Fa; Changlin and Dazhi occupy a corner.

The left-behind women such as Liu Widow, Li Sanqing, Suxiang, Shuangyan, and some villagers with a very low sense of existence in the village are left.

Among these group of people, Uncle Yandai, Dakui and Li Hongbing had a good relationship. They greeted each other and nodded tacitly. Chunsheng followed the lead of the village chief Li Huaizhong and remained neutral. The village chief did what he said.

In the end, Widow Liu and the left-behind women in the village belonged to the grass on the wall in the village, and they fell there when the wind was strong.

soon.

Li Huaizhong, who was proud of the spring breeze, walked into the rice field in that old Chinese tunic suit and a forward hat, exchanged warm greetings with a few groups of people, and walked onto the stage.

Having been vaccinated in advance last night, the Red Soldier can at least get the consent of most of the villagers. Contracting the meadow is a sure thing. Have a day of progress.

Li Hongbing appeared smiling with his hands behind his back, and Ouyang Hua was still at his side. As for his father, he didn't want to get involved at all. In his old man's words, the old Li's family may not be able to contract a piece of land, so they don't need to stay in the forest area in the future.

"Uncle Red Soldier."

"Red Soldier Lord"

"Uncle Red Soldier."

As soon as a person walks into the rice field, the villagers have to take the initiative to say hello no matter whether they have ideas or not. This is the rule.

Li Hongbing cupped his hands and returned the salute with a smile on his face.

"Red soldiers." Li Huaizhong on the stage pointed to the chair next to the stage, motioning for him to go and sit.

As a contractor, today he can only be a bystander and cannot participate, otherwise it will be regarded as a black box operation. However, the black box was darkened last night, and today is just a formality.

Looking at his watch, seeing that the time was about the same, Li Huaizhong picked up the microphone on the table, coughed twice, and said quite formally.

"Hey, hello, the villagers' representative meeting of Caogou Village has started, please come in."

Several groups of people around the paddy field walked into the paddy field and sat on long benches.

Li Huaizhong picked up the microphone again.

"The theme of the villagers' representative meeting was convened today. Li Hongbing in our village wants to contract the meadow, 20 yuan per mu a year, and the contract period is 50 years. The meadow belongs to the collective land of the village. Calling everyone to come is to vote. If you have anything to say, hurry up explain."

The voice just fell.

Widow Liu stood up, "The village chief, I don't care if Uncle Hongbing contracts the meadow, I just want to ask, after the meadow is contracted, can we still go to the meadow to pick mushrooms, herd sheep, chickens, pigs, and grass. "

Originally, no one wanted the meadow. Every year during the mushroom season, everyone would go to the meadow to pick mushrooms to subsidize their families. Now that Uncle Hongbing has contracted the meadow, if they are not allowed to enter the meadow, they will not be able to earn money for mushrooms in the future.

In addition, every household raises livestock, and the meadow is also the main source of green fodder for livestock.

Regardless of which villager was on good terms with Li Hongbing, hearing the question raised by Widow Liu, the villagers immediately talked about it, and the relationship was not good enough.

"This..." Li Huaizhong looked at the audience, it was difficult for him to answer this question.

At this time, Li Hongbing stood up and smiled at the villagers.

"Don't worry, everyone, what the meadow was like in the past, will be what the meadow will be like in the future. It doesn't matter whether you are picking mushrooms or raising livestock. I can write it into the contract, but there is one thing, it is not allowed to spray pesticides on the meadow."

"That's okay. Pesticides are so expensive, and that blind dog will spray them on the meadow." Widow Liu nodded, "Then I agree, there's nothing to say."

"Anyone who has any questions, hurry up and ask, don't vote and start nagging." Li Huaizhong asked with a microphone.

"I don't agree." Li Sanqing stood up suddenly, "The land was contracted by Uncle Hongbing, and now he has to contract the meadow. What is left of our village? Don't call it Caogou Village, but call it Lijia Village."

Whoa!
There was an uproar at the scene.

No one would have thought that Li Sanqing would stand up and shoot. He heard that he was beaten up by the Red Soldier Uncle at school a few days ago, so he came to find an excuse at this time.

"Yes, I don't agree either. It costs 20 yuan per mu. What's the difference between giving it away? It's also contracted for 50 years, and I don't say how much it is."

As Wang Dalai stood up and booed, other villagers who were sharpening their knives stood up one after another.

"I don't care whether to contract or not, the village chief, I just want to ask, how to deal with the 50-year contract money."

"Yes, how many acres of land the meadow has, and how much the contract fee is, you have to talk about it."

"Village chief, don't be vague, that money is collective property, you can't be greedy."

Before Li Hongbing came, he prepared various plans to deal with all kinds of troubles from the villagers, but except for the problem of Widow Liu at the beginning, the rest of the villagers aimed their troubles at Uncle Huaizhong.

Turning around and thinking about it, I was relieved.

The villagers are not stupid, they are like mirrors in their hearts.

In their eyes, the meadow is worthless, and anyone can contract it, as long as they give money.

Calculated on the basis of 4 mu, there will be 80 a year.

80, not 80, 800, or 8000.

As a member of the village collective, he naturally enjoys the right to allocate contract fees.

Don't make a fuss now, so much money has entered the pockets of the village committee, and it will be difficult to get it out again.

Li Huaizhong sneered secretly in his heart, having been the village chief for decades, these people knew what shit to do, picked up the microphone, raised their hands and pressed it.

"Just be quiet and listen to me."

"This time the contracted meadow covers 4 mu, and the contract period is 2000 years. The contractor needs to pay the corresponding contract payment to the village committee in five installments, each ten years, totaling 50 million."

The voice just fell.

The whole rice field was in a state of boiling.

Apart from shock, there was surprise on everyone's expressions.

More than 800 million, how much is that.

Some people giggled in a daze, some couldn't count with their fingers, and counted with their toes after taking off their shoes, some squeezed their arms hard, and some slapped themselves.

This is what Li Huaizhong wanted.

Originally, I planned to contract the meadow to Hongbing. I would charge a one-year contracting fee first, and when the matter of my own increase was settled, it would have nothing to do with me. Li Huaizhong was so frightened that he didn't sleep well all night.

The contract payment is paid every ten years, and this achievement is the only one in the forest area.

Originally, I was still a little unsure about the matter of raising the price, but the red soldiers borrowed flowers to offer Buddhas, and it was almost a certainty, pinching the snails with three fingers-safety.

When the villagers finished their excitement, their eyes lit up and looked at the stage.

For the first time in decades, Li Huaizhong felt the admiration of the villagers, and he got emotional, and said with a microphone in his hand.

"I know everyone's life is hard, and I also know that Caogou Village is poor. The girls outside shake their heads when they hear Caogou Village, and the girls in the village are also wholeheartedly thinking about getting married. The children and children can't find a wife when they are thirty. gone."

"Thirty percent of the contract money will be used for the development of public construction in the village, and the remaining [-] percent will be distributed according to the current head of the village, which will be divided into ten years."

Thirty percent is handed over, and seventy percent is dividends.

Although the villagers feel sorry for the three floors that were retained, it may be beyond all small calculations to keep [-]%.

"Now there are 126 people registered in the village, 840 million and 588% will be 588 million. The 126 million will be divided over ten years. In the first year, it will be divided into [-] people. No matter the elderly or children will have a share. In the future, whoever adds a child and gets married will get a dividend. .”

The villagers who knew a little bit of arithmetic began to rack their brains to calculate how much money they could get.

But unfortunately, the villagers present scratched their heads anxiously, but no one figured it out, Li Hongbing really couldn't see it, and said kindly.

"Each person can get 4666 yuan in the first year."

Whoa!
Hearing this number, the commotion in the rice field became even bigger.

Shui Sheng raised his brows happily, including his mother-in-law and son in the family, so there would be a dividend of 14000 yuan a year, but it is a pity that the eldest daughter married and moved away, or she would have to wait for more than 4000 yuan for nothing.

Widow Liu's eyes were wandering. She originally wanted to marry her daughter off and find a wealthy son-in-law to take her out of the mountain to enjoy the blessings.

Some people are happy, some are worried.

Wang Gaihua got up anxiously and asked, "Village Chief, does my wife get any dividends? I want to divorce him. Is there any dividends?"

Li Huaizhong pondered for a moment, wondering why, "To be honest, the four of them lack great virtue in their work and are not worthy of the dividends in the village. If you divorce Shulin, you will have it, and if you don't have a divorce, you won't."

As soon as the words came out.

Wang Gaihua seemed to have relieved a heavy burden, with a smile on his face, and thanked Li Huaizhong repeatedly.

"Gaihua, you are so impatient, why are you getting divorced when Li Shulin runs away?" Widow Liu comforted her distressedly.

One is a widow and the other is a real widow. The two women usually help each other and have a good relationship.

Wang Gaihua laughed out of anger.

"Haha, my old lady and Li Shulin didn't get a marriage certificate. Back then, he felt sorry for two dollars, so he lied to me and said that it would be the same if he didn't get a marriage certificate."

What!
After everyone listened, they shook their heads in unison and were speechless.

This silly woman doesn't know what to be happy about, if there is no Uncle Hongbing to contract the meadow, there will be no place to bury you after you die, how happy you are!

"Is there any problem? If there is no problem, we will start voting." Seeing that the villagers are happy, Li Huaizhong is ready to start the last item on the agenda, voting.

"Gone."

"Vote quickly, I'm still waiting to go back and water the ground."

"Why don't you vote, let Uncle Hongbing directly contract it."

Now whoever the villagers object to, it is a problem with the money and the whole village.

at this time.

Uncle Tobacco raised his hand suddenly, "I object!"

In an instant, the rice field was silent, including Li Huaizhong and Li Hongbing. No one thought that Uncle Yandai would object in the end. Everyone present could object, but Uncle Yandai could not, because Uncle Yandai had saved his life.

It's really superb, let alone Li Huaizhong's heart can't bear it, even Li Hongbing is a little confused.

"Uncle Cigarette, why do you object?"

Uncle Yandai looked around at everyone, and said unhurriedly, "The number of acres of meadow is wrong. I remember it should be 5 acres, which is 9 acres less."

What!
Everyone present was dumbfounded.

It's not that 4 mu is good, but now it's 2 mu.

Wrong 1 mu of land, how much is the difference.

The villagers can't figure it out, but it doesn't affect their love for money.

Wang Dalai jumped up, looking like he had gouged out his flesh, pointed at the stage and cursed, "Li Huaizhong, what kind of a village chief are you, you don't even know how big the meadow in the village is."

What is this?

Li Huaizhong raised his eyebrows angrily, I worked so hard to help you earn money, and even scolded me.

"Don't blame Huaizhong, he forgot to include the Crow Ridge. Back then, the Crow Ridge was divided into the meadow by excavating rocks from the mountains."

"That's right, that's the thing. I remember that Crow Ridge was part of the meadow back then, and they couldn't be separated." Uncle Mifu also chimed in.

"That's right! Crow Ridge is also in the meadow, why should it be separated? It's against the rules. If you want to contract, you have to contract together."

"A child cannot be without a mother, and a mother cannot be without a child. They cannot be separated."

"I agree that contracting cannot be specialized."

Li Huaizhong smiled wryly and couldn't look at Li Hongbing, who nodded helplessly. More than 4 mu were contracted, and he didn't care about an additional [-] mu.

"Okay, that's 5 acres contracted to Li Hongbing, there is no problem now, start voting, red flag, scholar, distribute the paper to everyone, tick disagree, tick agree, sign your name, you can't write your name Just press your thumbprint."

Unsurprisingly, the votes were unanimously passed.

The villagers are also satisfied with the result, and they respect Uncle Yandai even more. It is really an old man in the village, like a treasure.

As far as his old saying goes, the annual dividend of 4666 yuan has changed to 6555 yuan, which is nearly 2000 yuan more!

The village representative meeting ended, and the villagers left happily.

Li Huaizhong rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and he felt very sorry for letting Li Hongbing pay more than 1 million more for no reason.

Li Hongbing didn't care about this at all, and was already very satisfied with being able to successfully contract the meadow.

More than 5 mu seems to be a lot, but the actual meadow area is only more than 3 mu without Wuya Ridge and the mountain lines on both sides.

They made an appointment to go to the economic and management station in the town together in the afternoon, submit the land contract, and then dispersed.

Li Hongbing was walking on the mountain road home and saw Uncle Yandai sitting on the side of the road smoking a pipe, obviously waiting for him, Ouyang Hua found an excuse to enjoy the scenery and walked away.

"Uncle Yandai, what's the matter?" Li Hongbing stepped forward and asked.

"Boy, do you hate the old man for talking too much at the meeting, which caused you to spend a lot of money." Uncle Cigarette knocked on the cigarette pot with a half-smile.

"No, it's too late for me to thank you."

Uncle Yandai saw that Li Hongbing didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he quietly said something that made Li Hongbing dumbfounded.

"There are gold mines under Raven Ridge."
