Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 822: Plan
As soon as Sun Dafu finished speaking, a group of militiamen and hunters raised their hands and said "I agree", "I have no problem with this" and other similar words of approval.

Obviously, these 5 acres of land are definitely a considerable fortune for everyone.

The reason why everyone agreed so readily is that for farmers, land is always the most important thing, without a doubt.

Because the basis of farmers' survival and the largest source of income all rely on the land.

It can be said that land is the lifeblood of farmers!
Therefore, the plan proposed by Sun Dafu was instantly recognized by all hunters and militiamen.

After all the militiamen and hunters raised their hands to approve, the hunter Sun Daba asked:
"Well, Uncle Six, I want to ask, do these five acres of land start from the beginning of next spring, or from now?"

Sun Dafu rolled his eyes at Sun Daba and said:

"That must be counted from the beginning of next spring. At this time, what can be planted on that wasteland?"

What Sun Dafu called the "first wasteland" actually refers to the first year after reclamation. In addition to the first wasteland, there are also "second wasteland" and "third wasteland".

The "second wasteland" and "third wasteland" represent the second and third years after reclamation.

But after the "third wasteland", there is no "fourth wasteland", because by the fourth year, the nature of the land has completely changed. It is called cultivated land, or crop land.

When the militiamen and hunters heard this, they all seemed very happy.

Because in today's world where mechanization is not well developed, although reclaiming wasteland is quite difficult and the first wasteland basically does not produce much food, the second and third wastelands are quite fertile. To put it simply, whatever you plant will grow and whatever you plant will be a good harvest.

At this time, hunter Zhang Tiegang suddenly asked with a smile:

"Uncle Sun, if we protect the young crops now, we will have to protect the autumn crops later. And then we will have to protect the young crops and autumn crops again next year. So can the life of this wasteland be extended?"

Zhang Tiegang's question was exactly what everyone was concerned about, so as soon as Zhang Tiegang finished speaking, other hunters and militiamen began to echo him.

Seeing this, Sun Dafu said:

"Considering the difficulty of reclaiming new wasteland, the term is set at three years. In the future, we can only increase it year by year. In case we no longer need to protect young crops or autumn crops, the land will be automatically reclaimed when the term expires and will still be collectively owned by Kaoshantun."

After a pause, Sun Dafu continued:
"We also consider that there may be new hunters or militia joining us in the future, so we should maintain the current policy."

After Sun Dafu finished speaking, accountant Li Youcai added:

"But let's be clear about the vilification. Don't call yourself a hunter just for these five acres of land. No one is blind. If you don't have the ability, and you still rush after the big wolf, it will be in vain if you die. The village won't give you any compensation."

It has to be said that Sun Dafu, the village chief, and Li Youcai, the accountant, are very thoughtful in their considerations. They even think about future events and possible problems.

After waiting for a while, and seeing that no one was talking anymore, Sun Dafu shouted loudly:

"That's enough. I've explained the two options. Do you have any questions? Ask now."

As soon as Sun Dafu finished speaking, he heard the hunter Lu Deshu say:
"Uncle Sun, how are the guns distributed in our garrison? I'm using a double-barreled hunting rifle, but I'm a little scared."

In the village of Kaoshantun, there were a total of 8 Type 56-and-a-half and 4 Type 56-charged rifles. After Niu Daming disappeared, the militia quota was given to his younger brother Niu Dayou.

Therefore, the number of militiamen in Kaoshantun is still 8. Although Wang An and Wang Li are also militiamen, they have never reported to Sun Dafu and Sun Xiangfeng. Therefore, Wang An and Wang Li are militiamen in name only. Of course, this is not something Wang An did on purpose, but Wang An did not take it seriously at all.

Sun Dafu thought for a moment and said:
"We have 12 guns in our village, and you have 16 people. If you have semi-automatic guns, don't use the village's guns. We will compensate those who use their own guns with 3 rounds of bullets every day until the end of the protection of young crops. What do you think?"

One has to admit that Sun Dafu, the village chief, is indeed very particular about his work. Not only does he clearly distinguish between public and private affairs, he is also fair and just.

Obviously, these three bullets are equivalent to the village paying to rent guns to individual residents.

In this era, because of the proliferation of local wild animals and animals that can hurt people can be seen everywhere, the superiors, that is, the township, will distribute bullets to each village every year.

These bullets are used not only during militia training, but also to protect young crops or autumn crops.

But even so, there will be a considerable amount of bullets left over from the bullets issued every year. After years of accumulation, it is unknown how many bullets are now in the warehouses in the village.

Although Wang An didn't care about these trivial matters, there was nothing he could refuse.

So Wang An immediately said:

"Grandpa Sun, I have no objection."

Then, Wang Li, who had always followed Wang An's lead, immediately said:

"Grandpa Sun, I have no objection either."

After Wang An finished speaking, hunters Niu Dalin and Li Dong, who had always kept a low profile in the village but actually harvested a lot every time they went into the mountains, immediately echoed:
"Yes, Grandpa Sun, I have no objection."

Sun Dafu nodded, then turned around and said to the villagers:
"Do you have any other questions? If you do, please raise them as soon as possible."

Sun Dafu glanced around twice, and seeing that no one spoke, he continued:

"If there are no other questions, then let's start with a show of hands. Let's start with the first one. What are everyone's opinions? Raise your hands if you agree."

There were about ninety people in the meeting room, but not a single person raised their hand.

Obviously, no one can accept the idea that every household has to send someone to protect the crops, or pay one dollar a day.

Fortunately, Sun Dafu had anticipated this result. After taking a glance at the villagers, he immediately spoke:
"Then let's go with the second option. Let's vote by raising our hands."

With Niu Qi, the "chicken", as an example, all the "monkeys" raised their hands, whether they were willing or not.

The main reason is that the second method does not harm the interests of the villagers, so everyone raised their hands so reluctantly.

Seeing this scene, Sun Dafu nodded with great satisfaction and said:

"That's all, except for the militia and hunters who stay to assign tasks, everyone else can go home."
