Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 355: 354. Forest planning

Views:

After Zhu Jun said this, Song Tan also became alert—

Although she can ensure that other families cannot be affected by her spiritual energy, her own peach forest is lush and green, while other places remain the same. Isn't this obviously arousing jealousy

What's more, she is restrained now because of insufficient spiritual energy, and she plans to slowly relax it in the future.

But this probably won’t be possible in the first few years.

By the time one side is lush and green and full of fruits, while the other side is just being eaten by insects and birds... even the most honest person would feel aggrieved if they see this day and night.

Therefore, it is better to prevent it if possible.

She calculated the savings on hand and said simply, "Then please go back and help contact them. I will pay the remaining 70,000 yuan at the end of the month, and we will re-sign the agreement for the surrounding hills."

However, this time, the down payment may not be that much, and the payment will have to be made in several batches.

Okay!

Zhu Jun was waiting for her to say this. Otherwise, why would she and Song Tan squat on this hill together in such hot weather

It certainly wasn’t for the watermelon in my hand—well, a little bit.

But the most important thing is rural development.

At this moment, she pointed her hand forward, as domineering as if she was painting a landscape: "Come, let's see which one you like!"

She has always been proactive. When she persuaded Song Tan to contract the hill, she had already gone over the surrounding terrain and prices in her mind. Now she feels particularly confident when she talks about it.

Song Tan also looked at this area carefully.

As mentioned before, the terrain here is like a basin, and the bottom of the basin is the fish pond contracted to Song Tan. Now, from time to time, traces of fish fry can be seen tumbling in it, and the ducks in the shed in the corner are quacking, looking particularly jubilant.

And on all sides of this pond, there are several hillsides that stretch like peach orchards. The mountains are divided into yin and yang, facing north and south. There is a circle inside the basin, and naturally there is a bigger circle outside the basin.

Song Tan looked around and suddenly asked:

"If I take over this whole area, how much would it cost?"

Zhu Jun gasped.

She hoped that Song Tan would have some courage, but there was no need for him to be so courageous. The inner circle alone was nearly 80 acres!

With such a large area, if we really want to start working on it, even the labor force of the entire village will not be enough! We have to think about the follow-up!

The land has been contracted and planted, but where can we hire people to take care of it? Can we just bring people from the neighboring village to develop it

Um…

Zhu Jun suddenly touched his chin—it’s not impossible.

After all, everyone in this area is about the same poor. Although she is only responsible for this village, the long-term solution is to expand the business by joining forces with many parties and develop together.

Not to mention anything else, if more villages are driven forward, and they take the lead, won’t they be more confident when they apply for road construction

She was daydreaming and felt that it was pretty good for a moment.

Moreover, Song Tan is good at growing crops. The area is large, so even if he leaves it to be developed slowly, the loss will only be tens of thousands of dollars a year.

But if she doesn't take it over right away and someone else takes it over, she might have to pay more than tens of thousands.

Logically speaking, as a village cadre, Zhu Jun should not be selfish - who can't he contract the mountain land to

But the problem is, she doesn’t know whether the work contracted by others will be successful, so she signs a contract, pays a one- or two-year contract fee, and then walks away…

The villagers were dumbfounded.

However, Song Tan's strength is stable.

In such a comparison, it is no wonder that she is more thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Song Tan asked.

When we leased these 20 acres, the initial 20-year contract fee was 140,000 yuan. It shouldn't be that the unit price for the remaining acres will be even higher, right

Zhu Jun smiled bitterly.

"At the beginning of the year, if you bought it together, the entire forest was about 248 acres, and the same term, 1.6 million was guaranteed for the first 20 years."

"Even if the big guys don't know the exact amount of harvest on the mountain this year, they know that the crops are growing well, which proves that the quality of our mountain forests and land is very high."

"If this is the case, the price may have to rise further."

My goodness! Song Tan’s eyebrows stood up in shock.

However, Zhu Jun changed his mind and comforted her: "Don't worry, there is no competition yet, so the price won't fluctuate much. And this has its advantages, you can make more requests - for example, this area is too large, and many places are still forests, and logging is not allowed easily now, and the reporting procedures are also very troublesome. But if you can raise the price a little, they will naturally help to implement these procedures together."

"In addition, the village will generate revenue and the villagers will receive dividends. I can even start applying for road construction in batches."

"You know, once we have investment, it will be easier to apply for money. We are not in a hurry. We will repair the most dilapidated sections of the road in sections. If we can arrange the time in winter, it will not affect your sales and travel..."

I wish you a pleasant conversation.

Wow! Song Tan was amazed.

How should I put it? It's quite worthwhile for her grandfather to recognize his eldest granddaughter, and he took all aspects into consideration.

Apart from…

Her wallet isn't that deep right now.

Even though the online store now has a net income of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day, how long has it been in operation

What's more, there is a gold-eating beast under construction here. Song Tan can come up with hundreds of thousands, but it would be really difficult to come up with more.

But she was open-minded. After all, the money didn't have to be paid all at once, so at worst she could just owe it first.

The first time I owed 70,000, and the second time I owed 700,000, which was not a big problem.

However, if we want to manage such a large area well, we can’t just plant whatever we want here and there. We need to hire an agronomy expert to plan it carefully...

The two reached a tacit understanding on this matter, but Song Tan pointed to the mountainous land of Zhang Wang's family beside the peach forest and asked: "What about this piece?"

"If Uncle Zhang is unwilling to rent it out, this place will be separated out."

Zhu Jun smiled particularly brightly: "Why don't you go and ask in person? I think they will definitely be willing."

As the village party secretary, she has a general understanding of every household in the village.

Zhang Wang's family had divided up this mountain land many years ago. Originally, the old couple had no intention of taking care of it, not to mention that he is the only one left now.

Moreover, the plants planted on this mountain were originally some wild kudzu roots, which grew quite well under his intentional composting.

But anyone who has worked with Pueraria root knows how much suffering it involves.

How many kilograms of powder can be washed out of 100 kilograms of Pueraria root? It's all produced by pounding it with great effort.

Zhang Wangjia now works for Song Tan's family and gets a fixed salary every month. Why should he go through the trouble of picking the kudzu root himself

He didn't have the business skills of a young man, and his kudzu root business was not large-scale. In previous years, all he could do was to carry the kudzu roots to the town and sell them to vendors at extremely low prices, just to make a hard-earned living.

But if the house was sublet to Song Tan at a higher price as planned by the village, it would be completely different.
