The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 187 The Hope of Datang

Listening to Chen Wenbin's words and watching his actions, a bright smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

No matter what Chen Wenbin was like in the past, whether he was risk-averse, looked down on others, or was incorruptible, it doesn't matter. In short, it is true that he is one of us now.

From now on in the village, Chen Wenbin will be his supporter.

"How is the construction going over at Laotang?"

Chen Wenbin naturally changed the subject.

"The project is more than halfway done and will be operational in about ten days."

Chen Yuan reopened the office door and got himself a glass of water. "The flower sea and fruit forest are almost planted, but the fruit forest needs to grow."

Fruit trees need cycles. It is impossible for them to bear abundant fruits immediately after being transplanted. At first, they will bloom and bear fruit after stable growth. Currently, they have no fruits.

"In addition to the artificial flower scenic area, many summer flowers have been transplanted over the flower sea. They will be planted along the village road in the next two days to ensure that there are scenic views on the village road all year round. The rest need to wait for the flowering season, but there are flowers in all seasons."

Chen Yuan took a sip of water, put down the paper cup and spoke.

“It’s well built.”

Chen Wenbin was very satisfied.

Yucheng Village was his territory, and he was aware of any movement in the village. How could he not know about Chen Yuan's ambitious project?

“The speed of a train depends entirely on the locomotive.”

Chen Yuan chuckled.

"Stop flattering me~"

Chen Wenbin glared at Chen Yuan. How could he not hear the flattery? He was praising the development of Yucheng Village. It was all because of his good leadership. He was useless.

"Yes, these are the last few contracts. I have asked all the people outside. Some of them asked for too high a price and I did not agree. The people in the village did not move either. If you have any ideas, just tell me."

Not wanting to pay attention to Chen Yuan's flattery, he took out a few documents from another drawer and handed them to Chen Yuan.

"Hehe, I don't have any ideas. Uncle Bin has thought everything through for me. I'll just listen to Uncle Bin's arrangements. It saves me a lot of trouble."

Chen Yuan quickly picked up the pen on the desk and signed, then transferred the money to the village committee account according to the contract amount. He was already familiar with these procedures.

"I think it's about time. You have contracted most of the farmland in the village. It's unrealistic to take over all of it."

Chen Wenbin admired Chen Yuan's personality very much. He would take what was given to him and would not ask you for what was not given to him. He had a good sense of propriety.

"Well, the villagers' fields will definitely not be touched, whether they grow crops or want to follow suit in the future. We have to leave them some room to operate."

Chen Yuan was also satisfied. The land that Chen Wenbin had secured for him was enough for him to display his talents.

Flowers bloom all year round and fruits are fragrant in eight festivals.

Once the labels of "world of flowers and hometown of fruits" are put on it, the effect will definitely be worth looking forward to.

"There is one more thing, which is Datong that you are most concerned about."

Chen Wenbin threw the contract signed by Chen Yuan and the one kept by the village committee into the drawer, then picked up the cigarette on the table.

“Is there hope for Datang?”

Chen Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. As soon as Chen Wenbin put his hand down the cigarette box, a cigarette was handed to him.

"That's it."

Chen Wenbin took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a long stream of smoke.
"You paid a high land contract fee, which made some people feel good. Some people are greedy and want more, but there are also many people who think it's good."

Nowadays, every village has idle fish ponds. Even if the big pond is just there, the fish can be harvested as much as possible.

Those who have settled down elsewhere and even moved their registered permanent residence are the easiest to talk to. After all, according to the market contract price, plus a ten-year term, each household can get several thousand.

Don’t give up free money.

"According to my current statistics, there are about 200 households that agree to contract Datang."

Chen Wenbin gave a number.

"Two hundred households?"

Chen Yuan held the lighter but didn't light the cigarette, thinking quickly in his mind.

According to Uncle Bin, two-thirds of the villagers must agree before the village committee can decide on the use rights of the pond. With two hundred households, that's less than half.

Not to mention two-thirds.

"Zhou Jianming has contributed to this. Before, the rumor spread in the village that you wanted to contract the big pond, and Zhou Jianming was trying to stop you. But after Zhou Lin got married, he spoke up for you, and many villagers with other surnames stopped blocking you."

Not all the people in Yucheng Village have the surname Chen. There are also some with other surnames. They were resettled by the government during the time of the old village chief because they were fleeing famine or natural disasters such as floods.

Zhou Jianming’s grandparents were among those who were resettled.

Yucheng Village accepted a lot of people, so there are more than 500 households. It is for this reason that the old village chief built a big pond. After all, the population was too large and one old pond was not enough.

"It looks like Zhou Jianming helped a lot."

Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and took a puff.

This is how it is in the village. When they are at odds with you, they won’t want to see you do well. But once they have made up, they will let you see the simplicity of the villagers.

"But two hundred households aren't enough, right?"

Chen Yuan smoked a cigarette and looked at Chen Wenbin, waiting for Uncle Bin's next words. Since Uncle Bin said there was hope, there must be other situations.

“Do you know how many households are currently registered in Yucheng Village?”

Chen Wenbin asked back with a smile.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.

Yucheng Village used to have more than 500 households, but with the development of the times and the rise of the trend of moving to cities, many people left the countryside and settled in the city.

Moreover, some people have moved their household registration for various reasons such as career development or their children’s education. There are definitely not so many such people in Yucheng Village now.

"There are only 400 households registered, less than 100 of them are permanent residents, and only about 200 households return to the village during festivals."

Chen Wenbin shook his head and sighed.

When he took over Yucheng Village, it was still the same Yucheng Village. During festivals, there were often opera troupes performing and movies showing. During the busy farming season, they worked together, and during the slack season, they chatted about family matters. In the summer evenings, especially after dinner, the neighbors would chat in the shade or visit each other. It was very lively.

The children played together, and their voices and laughter filled the entire village.

But now there are fewer people visiting, and all the children go to school in the city. There is not even a school in the village, and it is becoming more and more deserted and no longer as lively as before.

He wanted to develop Yucheng Village and return it to its former simplicity and liveliness, with villagers visiting each other and chatting, and children running around the yard.

Unfortunately, we cannot stop the tide of the times.

"Based on the 400 households, how many more households are needed to use Datang?"

Chen Yuan's eyes became brighter. This was good news. They were getting closer and closer to taking over Datang.

"The two hundred households mentioned earlier are not included in the village."

Chen Wenbin nodded and smiled.

This made Chen Yuan even happier.

There are still a hundred or eighty households living in this village. Let's put aside the others for now, just his family and his uncle's family, and then his second aunt's family and the employees who had already expressed their opinions.

There are more than a dozen households here.

As Zhou Jianming and his friends in the village walked around a little, it seemed that Datang was really beckoning to them.

"The project at Laotang is quite big, they should be hiring more people, right?"

Chen Wenbin flicked the ash from his cigarette, and with just one smile Chen Yuan understood what Uncle Bin meant.

Recruit employees and get support, kill two birds with one stone.

If it is really not enough, we can also start making arrangements in Datang.

"We really need some help."

Not only Laotang, but B&Bs also need people to take care of them. With the opening of the flower sea, fruit forest, hot spring park, and indoor children's playground, the B&Bs will also officially open for business.

It’s still the same old rules. I’ll ask Chen Wenbin to take care of the personnel matters.

"By the way, Uncle Bin, since so many households have been relocated from Yucheng Village, have the former residential lands been taken back by the village committee?"

Chen Yuan wants to set up a B&B.

In terms of policy, villagers, as members of collective economic organizations, can enjoy the rights to collective land according to the law. However, when your household registration is moved out of the collective, the homestead you previously enjoyed should naturally be reclaimed by the village collective.

Once the household registration is moved, one no longer belongs to this collective and naturally can no longer enjoy the rights of this collective.

The village committee has the right to dispose of these reclaimed homesteads.

“It’s not finished yet.”

Chen Wenbin shook his head, saw Chen Yuan's confusion, and briefly explained the current policy.

The current policy emphasizes that the land follows the house.

Normally, after the whole family moves their registered residence, the homestead will naturally belong to the village collective. However, the land moves with the house, and the house on the homestead still belongs to the private property of the villagers, and the village committee has no right to move it.

However, if the house collapses or disappears due to natural factors, the village committee can directly reclaim the residential land.

Chen Wenbin said that the land has not been completely collected yet, and there are still private houses of villagers on the homesteads.

But this is easy to do.

"Uncle Bin, I want to lease these residential plots."

Chen Yuan expressed his thoughts directly and there was no need to beat around the bush with Chen Wenbin.

Even two solutions are given.

He rented these residential plots to build homestays, and paid the rent in one lump sum just like contracting a fish pond.

Another way is to cooperate with the village committee.

The village committee provides residential land and builds a homestay together. Then the village committee can hold a certain share in the homestay and enjoy dividends at the end of the year.

The first one is simple and straightforward.

But Chen Yuan hoped it would be the second one.

Since returning to the village, Chen Wenbin has given him the green light all the way. He really wanted to express his gratitude, but Chen Wenbin, whether out of risk avoidance or because he was incorruptible, did not accept it.

Even if Chen Guo was offered to pay the rent for borrowing Xiaotang, Chen Wenbin refused.

Until just now, we truly became one of our own.

Then, he is willing to be more closely tied to Chen Wenbin.

After listening to the two plans, Chen Wenbin looked thoughtful and frowned occasionally. Chen Yuan did not urge him. He filled Chen Wenbin's cup of tea and sat beside him smoking while waiting.

"Will the financing company be willing to let the village committee take up the shares?"

Chen Wenbin asked after a few minutes.

As soon as Chen Yuan heard this, he knew what Uncle Bin was thinking.

"Of course there will be no problem. I have the absolute decision-making power over the fishing grounds, and we are only signing a contract for the B&B, so it won't have much of an impact."

Chen Yuan said as he handed over a cigarette.

Chen Wenbin was so absorbed in thought just now that the cigarette in his hand almost burned out by itself and now it has gone out.

I thought Chen Wenbin would make the decision.

But Chen Wenbin lit up a cigarette and took two puffs and said,
"Don't worry about the homestead. Wait until you open your business and see how the B&B performs. Otherwise, it will be another huge investment."

"Okay, I'll follow Uncle Bin's arrangements."

Chen Yuan understood Chen Wenbin’s concerns.

If it was just a lease, he would probably just be reminding Chen Yuan to think it over carefully. If Chen Yuan insisted on building a B&B, he would definitely give the green light.

But this time, the village committee obviously has the idea of ​​taking a stake in the business, and we have to wait and see the results of the B&B before making a decision.
