After Zhou Yang came out of the county bureau, he saw Li Fengnian and Feng Qizheng squatting at the base of the south wall of the county bureau. One was smoking and the other was hanging his head, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming over, Feng Qi hurriedly stood up and asked: "Zhou Zhiqing, what's going on? My brother..."
"Don't worry, the matter has been resolved and your brother will be out in a day or two!"
"Really...really, there is no need to be sentenced?" Feng Qi said excitedly.
"Well, let's go out and talk!"
Feng Qi also knew that there were many people here and it was not convenient to talk, so the three of them pushed two bicycles out of the county bureau!
After going out, Li Fengnian immediately asked: "Don't you need me to go to the county committee to find someone?"
"No need, there was no intention to go into detail above!"
"That's good!" Feng Qi said with a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yang looked at him and said, "Although the matter has been resolved, your brother must be more careful in the future and never take risks again!"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him. I will never let him go to the black market again. I can't harm my brother just because I have a wife!" Feng Qidao.
Seeing Feng Qi mentioning the matter of marrying a wife, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "By the way, today I heard from your sister-in-law that a girl is interested in you. What's going on?"
"this..."
"You said you are older than me. If we were talking about seniority, I would have to call you uncle. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Feng Qi sighed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that her family didn't agree, so the lion asked for the 66 yuan gift!"
"What's going on with her family?"
"In ordinary people, Xiaoyue has three brothers and two sisters, but they are better than ours!" Feng Qidao.
"What do you mean by that girl? Are you really right?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Well, Xiaoyue also missed the age of marriage in order to take care of the younger ones in the family. She is already 23 this year, and she is anxious! Plus, I am down-to-earth and hardworking, so she is willing to marry me!"
Then Feng Qi continued: "But Xiaoyue's parents think my family is poor, so they don't agree to let us be together!"
At this time, Li Fengnian said immediately: "Yesterday, the village divided the money, and the four laborers in your family also divided more than 100 yuan. It should be enough to marry a wife!"
"The bride price is enough, but everything else is not enough!"
Then Feng Qi explained again: "Brother Fengnian, you also know that our house only has two rooms and one is a kitchen. We can't live with my brother and sister-in-law after we get married!"
"Building a house and hosting a banquet will cost you two to three hundred yuan! Moreover, my sister-in-law was hospitalized last year and still owed some money. After paying off the money, there won't be much money left!"
Li Fengnian and Feng Liujin's mother-in-law Zhou Xiufang are also distant relatives, and Li Fengnian knows the situation of his family best.
Then he sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, the team will lend you some..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said: "No need!"
"???"
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the two people's faces, Zhou Yang said calmly: "Actually, this matter is not that complicated. If you believe me, the marriage can be completed in a month at most, even if you don't ask them!"
"Really?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Don't you believe it?"
"A bit!" Feng Qi said.
"Actually, the reason is simple. In another month, the money from selling grain will be reduced. Plus selling feed during this period, I estimate that your family can still get at least two hundred yuan!"
Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and continued: "And after our village distributes money for the second time, it will definitely cause a sensation in the surrounding villages. In the future, not only you, but also the status of all the younger boys in our village will also rise with the tide."
The reason is actually very simple. As the village's economy develops, the villagers' welfare will increase.
Think about it, when the news spread that a person in Babaoliang Village can get hundreds of dollars a year, who wouldn't be envious?
By then, not to mention the people in the surrounding villages, I'm afraid even the people in the county will want to enjoy the blessings here!
The easiest way is to marry the girl to Babaoliang Village, so that she will naturally become a villager and enjoy the benefits of the village.
This is almost the same as the immigration wave that occurred more than ten years later. Everyone thinks that the welfare benefits abroad are good, so they are eager to immigrate abroad.
And how many people are willing to marry foreign old men or bad people in order to immigrate and get a green card.
Although Feng Qi is a little older, he is still only twenty-four or five years old. In addition, he is very talented and has no bad habits. He has no obvious shortcomings except that his family is poor.
There will definitely be no such people left. Even if Xiaoyue doesn't get married in the end, there will definitely be Xiaolan, Xiaoju, and Xiaomei who will marry him!
Feng Qi was not stupid, he immediately understood what Zhou Yang meant, nodded immediately and said: "Zhou Zhiqing, I understand!"
"Don't worry about getting married. That Xiaoyue family doesn't like you. It's their loss!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "I won't say anything else from now on. Just because you are from Babaoliang Village, you won't have to worry about getting a wife!"
Think about how awesome it would be to have a household registration in Beijing or Shanghai in future generations. You are nothing and you can choose a partner at will!
The potential shown by Babaoliang Village at this stage will be fatal to the attraction of surrounding villages and towns.
As expected, Babaoliang Village will usher in a wave of weddings next year!
After talking about business, Zhou Yang asked his father-in-law to take Feng Qi back to the village first. He had other things to do!
Li Fengnian didn't ask him anything, but left directly with Feng Qi.
After watching the two people leave, Zhou Yang rode his bicycle straight to the county committee not far away.
Arriving outside Li Changqing's office with ease, Zhou Yang knocked on the door directly.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
"Come in!"
After pushing the door open and coming in, Zhou Yang found Li Changqing writing furiously on his desk, not knowing what he was writing.
When he looked up and saw Zhou Yang, he was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Hahaha, when did you come back, you didn't even say a word!"
"I've been back for two or three days, but there are too many things going on in the village, so I haven't gone to the city!"
"Sit, sit, sit. If I had known you were back, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
"What's wrong?"
"The province has issued a notice saying that Beimeng Banner, Simon Banner and other places have also suffered disasters. Now they are facing a large number of cattle and sheep that cannot survive the winter, so we hope that these counties in the south can help!" Li Changqing said.
"How can I help?"
"Support some forage or feed, but the problem is that it is three to four hundred kilometers from our side to theirs. Even a big truck would have to travel for more than a day. The feed is not expensive, but the cost of transporting it is not low!"
Then Li Changqing continued: "More importantly, a large truck can now carry up to four or five tons of fodder, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the dozens or millions of cattle, sheep, mules and horses they have!"
Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said: "It is definitely not cost-effective to transport fodder in the past, but we can bring their cattle and sheep back to raise them!"
"What do you mean?"
"Our county didn't produce much food this year. Grass has basically grown. We have grass, right?"
"Um!"
"Those banner counties in the north have cattle, sheep, mules and horses, but no grass, right?"
"Um!"
"We can definitely cooperate with them. We can buy or lease their livestock that cannot survive the winter. This will solve the problem for both parties. This is a win-win situation!" Zhou Yang said.
"This... I understand this purchase. What's going on with leasing?" Li Changqing asked in confusion.
"Leasing means that we rent back cattle and sheep of appropriate childbearing age and help the herdsmen raise them. We will pay for the cost during the period. If a lamb or calf is born, we will share it equally with the herdsmen!"
In fact, this rental model was very common in later generations. Many herdsmen did not want to suffer this penalty and did not want to sell their cattle and sheep, so they chose this method and cooperated with the right people.
After hearing Zhou Yang's words, Li Changqing suddenly became enlightened and greatly inspired.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, there is nothing you can't solve. I will work out this plan and report it to the county!" Li Changqing laughed.
"Don't be busy with this yet. Help me with something first!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"What's going on?"
"Help me get a sleeper ticket!"
"Sleeper? Where to go?"
"Bacheng!"
"Are you going to the Loop area?"
"No, I want to go to Eqi, but there is no train there. I have to go to Bacheng first and then think of a way!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, when do you want it?"
"We'll leave in just a day or two!"
"Okay, I'll go and issue a certificate for you right away. Then you can just go to the station with the certificate and buy a ticket!" Li Changqing said.
"That's great, thanks!"
"It's not your style to be so polite, hahaha..."
