After listening to the villagers' chat, Canghai roughly learned about the life in the village. These old men and women had no energy to farm, so they rented the land in their town to others to farm, and they only earned some food and money in a year. Although their lives were much better than ten years ago, because of their weak foundation, everyone's life is now at the level of just having enough food and clothing. As for the others, let alone anything else.

In their minds, the most profitable business of young people now is to go out to work and work in the factory. It is much better to work in a year than digging food from the soil.

"Grandpa Hu, isn't anyone renting land here?" Cang Hai finally expressed his questions as he listened to everyone's words.

I don’t know the situation in my hometown, but renting land in Jiangnan is popular. Most people may not rent it to plant it. They rent large areas of land, and then mechanized and informatized planting is much more efficient than the small peasant economic model of each household. Once the efficiency is high, the cost will decrease, and the income of a mu of land will naturally be higher.

Li Licheng slapped his last two cigarettes and pinched his butt with a little reluctant resignation: "That's a good place. Who rents the land here? The country was planning to make it go out of the way later, let alone the individual!"

Cang Hai asked strangely: "The country is still going to do it?"

Li Liren replied: "That's not the case, but later I heard from people that experts calculated that it would cost tens of thousands of yuan to improve acre of land. I heard that the entire work was over 100 billion yuan, and in the end the country could not afford the money, so naturally there was no further information."

"It's not that it's over 100 billion yuan. I heard that one acre is more than one million!" Qian Ximei also sat next to the table and said while eating peanuts.

When Cang Hai heard Grandma Qian San's words, he smiled and did not go into it. This may be the case, but the funds invested are hard to say. Even if this matter was correct at the beginning, it would be completely different after the number of people passed on, and it would be very different.

"Is it easy to rent a land now?" Cang Hai asked.

After all, he is the old village secretary. Although he is poor in the place, he has always been very concerned about the policies of the central and local governments. Hu Shijie thought for a while and said, "It is not difficult to rent a land, but if you want to rent a good land, it will be difficult. Not to mention other land in the town, people who have no way to rent it."

Cang Hai smiled and said, "I don't rent the land there, I just want to rent the land in front of our village!"

Everyone has understood the madness of Canghai just now, and now everyone is a little immune to the land at the entrance of the village. But even so, Canghai's words still attracted several people's worrying eyes.

"What do you want to rent these land? If you want to plant it, just find a piece to plant. What can we say if we are all fellow villagers?" Hu Shijie said.

Canghai took out the cigarette from his pocket and dispersed one by one. After two rounds and one by one, the pack of cigarettes was empty. After looking at the cigarette box with two or three left, Canghai simply turned around and went out, hid in a place where there were no one, pinched a magic trick and took out three more packs from the space, and put them directly on the table after entering the kiln.

"By the way, Haiwazi, you plant it at will. Anyway, it's all the land in the village. Can we be regarded as your elders still talkative?" Li Liren smoked a cigarette from the box that Canghai had just opened and hung it on his ears.

Canghai replied: "I am not going to plant the village land. I am going to rent all the Fenghuanggou to Jiazituo."

"What are you doing for renting such a large piece of land?" Hu Shijie asked.

Li Liren thought for a moment and asked at Canghai: "Cangwazi, tell me, is there a mine there?"

When Li Liren heard what he said, let alone the old man at the table, even the old ladies sitting on the outer layer had their ears raised. Nowadays, when I heard that there was a mine, it meant that I had money.

Canghai was so amused and laughed and asked, "You have lived here for so many years, and have you seen mines coming out nearby?"

"Is that there?" Li Liren thought for a moment and shook his head.

In Canghai’s hometown, the loess with a radius of hundreds of miles are estimated to be hundreds of meters deep. Even if there is a mine, the loess on it must be shoveled. With this workload, it is probably better to get a big ship to transport it abroad and get it back cheaper.

"There is no mine, I just want to test my own ideas," Cang Hai said with a smile.

"What's your thought?" Hu Shijie asked.

Canghai was not afraid of telling them to these people. It was not too difficult to fool Canghai, so he opened his mouth and said, "I want to plant a special tree. This tree grows quickly and absorbs water. It can grow three or four meters high in a year. It absorbs rainwater during the rainy season. When the tree poles are broken during the dry season, the water in the trees will flow out. Although the rainy season here is short, I think that even if you cannot store much water in this tree, you can solidify the soil."

This is the method that Canghai has figured out in his mind these days. Although he is not a master of architecture, he still has some understanding of some trees. Bottle trees are generally used as ornamental plants in China. This kind of tree has great water storage and is quite developed in the root system, which is very suitable for solidifying soil.

But now Canghai is preparing to build a plant network with the seeds of life as the core and the bottle tree as the node.

Of course, these are just thought out by Cang Hai based on the knowledge taught by the shadow. Whether they can be achieved depends on practice.

"Is there any such tree in the world that likes to absorb water?" Hu Shijie expressed doubts.

Canghai nodded and said, "Yes, this tree is called a bottle tree. It grows in arid areas. Although the temperature in that place is higher than that here, I still want to try it. Once the soil is fixed, it will actually retain some water in the soil. If there is water, it may be possible to grow some grass and shrubs. Wait for too much to see if you can plant some other trees. Gradually, the ecology may not be able to recover."

After listening to it, Hu Shijie and others thought it a little unreliable. If it were as easy as Canghai said in their minds, someone would have done it long ago, so how could he be a young boy like him?

"This matter is unpredictable!" Li Licheng said.

Canghai didn't persuade him. In fact, according to Canghai's plan, the first step was to rent land. The next result was to let the villagers rent land and then take the path of common prosperity.

Of course, this is just an idea now. If you want to realize Canghai, you must first achieve your achievements. If you only rely on your mouth, then these simple and unique and smart farmers will not do it with Canghai, let alone rent land like Canghai. But on the other hand, once Canghai does this, even if you stop them from letting them learn from Canghai, it will probably not be possible.

Canghai didn't understand it either. It was useless to just say that it was worth making money by 10,000,000 yuan, but it would be more meaningful to sell it for one dollar.

Hu Shijie took a few puffs of cigarettes in a silence and began to give Canghai an idea: "Haiwazi, if you really want to rent it, go to the township government in the town to ask. My news is not accurate. If the township doesn't work, go to the county to ask. If you want to rent such a large piece of land, it is probably not something the town can decide. At least the county nods you can rent it."

"Well, I'll ask when I go back," Cang Hai nodded and responded.

After asking what should be asked, Canghai changed the topic and asked some things about everyone's life.

After listening for a while, Cang Hai realized that at least the life in the small village was no different from when he left. The only major change was that the village had electricity. Although it was said that one kilowatt-hour of electricity was more than two, and the voltage was not too stable, it was finally electricity.

After chatting at more than ten o'clock, a group of old men and women became a little sleepy. For them, as soon as the sun sets, it is time to go to bed after dinner. Now, because Canghai is back, it is already late to stay up until ten o'clock.

Seeing that everyone was sleepy, Canghai ended the topic with a sense of recognition and Grandpa Hu took him to the kiln next door.

"You will only have one night, the quilt and pillows are all sunburned, and it is used when your uncle and your aunt get married..."

Needless to say, Canghai also saw the whole bed of red quilts and red blankets. In addition to the fact that there was no big red wedding letter in the kiln, there was also a grain surround at the corner of the kiln, which looked like a new house.

"It's okay, it's good enough. If you want to say that living here, it's comfortable in the kiln. I stayed at my third uncle's house in the town for one night. It was so hot. I slept until midnight and sweated all over my body." Cang Hai sat on the edge of the bed with a smile and began to take off his shoes and pants.

After living in the Magic City for so many years, Canghai is a little unaccustomed to the climate of his hometown. He originally lived in a cave, but now when he sleeps in a heated house, he suddenly feels uncomfortable all over. He wakes up early in the morning and has a dry mouth. I guess he will be filled with blisters after staying for a few more days.

"No matter how good the heating house is, it is not as comfortable as the kilns that are warm in winter and cool in summer. Unfortunately, the town cannot dig kilns, and there is no place to dig kilns!"

Cang Hai's words have been said to Hu Shijie. In their opinion, brick-built houses are far less comfortable than old caves. They are not only comfortable but also save money. They don't have to pay heating fees in winter and electricity in summer, which is economical.

"Then you go to bed. You have been running all the way. It's not a good time to ride a motorcycle down these few hours. I'll take the door with you." After Hu Shige said that, he turned around and left Canghai's house, and brought it with him.

Just as Canghai was about to take off his clothes, suddenly there were voices coming from outside.

"Why haven't you gone to bed?" Hu Shijie shouted.

"Grandpa, I want to stay with my second brother"

Outside the door was Hu Ping'an's voice.

"Don't disturb your second brother Cang's sleep, go back to your house honestly! You can play all day long."

"oh!"

Soon the sound of the footsteps of the grandfather and grandson disappeared outside the door.

After taking off his clothes and getting into the bed, Canghai put his head behind his head and began to think about renting a land. Maybe it was because he had been riding a motorcycle for several hours. Not long after he got stuck in the bed, Canghai fell asleep.
