Today in Haizi Village, it is completely sunny, with a few white clouds floating in the distance, resembling sheep.
Zheng Bajin and Qian Youyou had no intention of looking at the clouds and went directly to Xi Shunhai's house.
Xi Dingfang went to school, and Xi Shunhai was taking her husband out to bask in the sun, and also put her quilt in the sun to bake.
Seeing Zheng Bajin's arrival, Xi Shunhai hurriedly got up and gave them small stools for them to sit on. He pointed at his silly wife and said, "The fog here is heavy and the humidity is heavy. It's rare to have time to take her out to bask in the sun." Bask in the sun. By the way, why didn’t you two drive over today?”
"Oh, I still have the food at home. I came here today mainly because I want to discuss with you whether I can rent some more land and grow some lotus flowers." Zheng Bajin said.
"There is no problem with renting land, but I'm worried that I won't be able to sell it if I plant too much." What Xi Shunhai wants to say is that the most indispensable thing here is land, and he still has dozens of acres of land left uncultivated.
"It's okay. Now I continue to increase my breeding efforts and plan to raise two thousand heads within this year. In addition, the city also needs vegetables now. With a large number of people entering the city, the limited land around the city can be used to grow vegetables. The supply of vegetables has exceeded the demand. The most important thing is to find some that are closer to the highway, so that it is easier to plant and save a lot of labor during harvesting."
"We don't have a shortage of labor here. As long as we can give them three meals a day, they don't have to pay any wages. We can get whatever they want." Xi Shunhai said, making two cups of tea for the two of them.
The low-quality tea turned red when brewed with boiling water. Zheng Bajin did not dislike it. He blew the bubbles off and took a sip.
Qian Youyou didn't drink. He was not used to drinking boiled water, but he couldn't refuse the hospitality.
"You can't work for free, and it's not a short-term job. You have to think about the long term. The best way is to work for a day's wages. According to the current market price, people here should be able to get five yuan a day."
"Please understand, there is already a lot of idle labor," Xi Shunhai said.
"Okay, that's it. Let's rent about fifty acres first. Then you'll hire the workers and guide them in planting. Don't hire those who can't contribute, are lazy and cowardly. Youyou will be responsible. Take charge of the work and record the work for them. When the time comes, I will pay the bill." Zheng Bajin made arrangements.
The two nodded in agreement, and Zheng Bajin went ahead again. Xi Shunhai and Qian Youyou were temporarily offered ten yuan a day, and a contract must be signed to rent the land for at least three years. Of course, it would be better if it could be longer.
However, rent can only be paid year by year, and you cannot put a lot of money on rent.
Xi Shunhai said: "Don't worry, we will definitely get it at a low price. It doesn't matter how much it costs per acre, it's just how much a piece of land costs."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said that the relationship was good. It not only solved people's labor problems, but also increased their income and revitalized a piece of land.
The three of them did what they said. They went to see the land that day and picked some people on the roadside to attack. They made a note of it and waited for Xi Shunhai to come forward and talk to each family.
At the same time, Li Yin made an unexpected gain, and Zhang Xiaoguo revealed a shocking secret. It turned out that the unsolved case in which Shi Liyuan was strangled to death by a wire was actually committed by him and another classmate.
The two of them wanted to watch a movie but had no money, so they came up with such an unscrupulous method. Originally, they just wanted to strangle the person unconscious and take the money and leave.
What I didn't expect was that the wire was too thin and the car was traveling too fast, so someone died.
After all, Tang Zhengwen was lucky. He happened to encounter someone riding a motorcycle and strangled one to death. The rider escaped.
When Li Yin pressed him, Zhang Xiaoguo said that it was too dark at the time and he was too panicked to see clearly who was riding the bike. However, one thing was certain, that car was a motorcycle exclusively used by the police.
Li Yin brought over another participating classmate. When that person saw that Zhang Xiaoguo had already recruited him, he didn't dare to hide it. Before taking any measures, he recruited him truthfully. However, the same thing can be said. It was too dark, and looking at dead people and blood all over the floor, I couldn't see clearly who was riding the bike.
Li Yin already had the answer, but the cyclist was not a murderer. At most, he was a negligent person who caused death, not even that. He could not be brought down.
The two murderers were both under the age of sixteen and could only be sent to juvenile detention centers.
Despite this, Li Yin still felt sorry for Zhang Mingjiang.
I just wanted to teach his son a lesson, but I didn't expect that it would be involved in a headless murder case.
…
Zheng Bajin and Qian Youyou did not leave Haizi Village, waiting for Xi Shunhai to settle the land issue.
Things were going very smoothly. Before nightfall, Xi Shunhai had acquired fifty acres of land, and the annual rent was only one hundred yuan.
If you put it in the 21st century, it would be a joke. An acre of land only costs two yuan. However, in this era, most of the land in the mountainous areas cannot be cultivated, and prices are so low that two yuan is money, so it is not surprising at all.
However, there are also two people who usually do not see the value of the land when they are idle. Now when they see someone renting the land, they feel that it is a feng shui treasure land and do not agree to rent it, even if they add money.
Xi Shunhai had no choice but to report to Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin heard this and said, "Forget it if he doesn't rent, it won't affect us anyway, it's not like building a factory."
Xi Shunhai also felt that he couldn't get too used to it and find someone else to rent it to.
Zheng Bajin said: "Okay, now we have fifty acres. It's not enough. Let's rent some more. But there's no need to rush. Find someone to plant these fifty acres first."
Xi Shunhai nodded and invited Zheng Bajin and the two to stay and cook. Zheng Bajin declined politely, saying that time was tight now and asked Qian Youyou to stay and help implement the labor force and cut the weeds in the ground first. , plant it as soon as possible.
"I'm not afraid of weeds. They're not deep anyway. They're usually eaten by livestock. However, the land here is so flat that even cattle can't plow it. If we dig it by hand, the five yuan a day salary won't be worth it." Xi Shunhai said seriously.
"Don't be afraid. Let's tidy up the grass first. I'll find a way to borrow a plowing tractor. It'll be done in a few days." Zheng Bajin nodded and said.
"Okay, grass is not a problem. I'll find three or two people and we can cut it in two days." Xi Shunhai promised.
"No, find six people and finish it within tomorrow. I will find a machine to plow the land the day after tomorrow." Zheng Bajin breathed a sigh of relief. The time is tight now and the task is heavy, so I can't delay it.
He walked away and was about to leave when suddenly a well-dressed man appeared in his sight.
The visitor looked at Zheng Bajin with a smile and said politely: "Boss Zheng, what a coincidence?"
"Are we familiar with each other?" Zheng Bajin said coldly, cursing in his mind, "We meet everywhere in life, what are you going to do?" Is it just a piece of dog-skin plaster that sticks on tightly?
Qian Youyou and Qian Youyou were stunned, wondering why this person made Zheng Bajin unhappy?
