Chapter 171 Zhang Lang's Gift
"The leader can apply to the city and the province."
"This, there are no policies or precedents in this regard." County Mayor Wu interrupted.
"There is no precedent for reform and opening up. Everything is like crossing the river by feeling the stones. What's more, these mountains and forests are not contracted to individuals! They are for the village collective!"
"This is impossible! Not only your village in the mountain, but also several other villages rely on the mountains to survive! There are also hundreds of workers in the forest farm. How to resettle them?" Secretary Zhou shook his head decisively and rejected Zhang Lang's request.
Zhang Lang was unwilling to give up and continued to win: "Secretary Zhou! In addition to our eight villages, there are five villages in the Xilong Mountains, all of which are relatively reliable. They can be moved from the mountains to outside the mountains. What we have the most in Northeast China is land."
"Moving the village? Actually that's so easy!" Secretary Zhou was amused by Zhang Lang's whimsical thoughts.
"Our village can pay for the relocation fee, and each household will be compensated 1,000 yuan!"
County Magistrate Wu was once again shocked by Zhang Lang's big moves.
Each household costs one thousand yuan, and there are at least four hundred households in five villages, which is more than 400,000 yuan.
How much does his county's fiscal revenue cost in a year?
Although Secretary Zhou and County Mayor Wu were so generous just now, they just asked for a shareholding without even asking how much money they had.
They were paying attention to credit unions, thinking of using loans to invest, then waiting for the dividends to pay back the loan.
In their opinion, investing in loans is always much better than paying wages for loans.
Nowadays, the county relies on loans every year, and the loan amount is getting bigger and bigger.
Secretary Zhou picked up the cup and drank water before asking: "After the merger of your eight villages, the land they occupied is more than 100 square kilometers. Why do you have to do so much land? What do you think? Tell me, if it is reasonable, let's discuss it further."
"Are you convinced me, leader, I said I was trying to protect this forest?"
"Just just to protect the mountains and forests? Do you think I believe it?" Secretary Zhou was angry and asked back.
"But I am just to protect this forest. You said just now that there is a forest farm in this mountain, but you go to the Pangchang Director to see how many mountains have been cut by them, and the pine trees have almost been cut by them. Now I have started to advance towards Xilong Mountain. If this continues, it will take not many years for the entire Xilong Mountain to be cut into bald! This mountain has raised more than ten generations of us, and even in the most difficult 59 years, no one has starved to death. Now, seeing that this mountain is about to be destroyed, what should I do?"
Zhang Lang's words made Secretary Zhou and County Mayor Wu speechless.
The founding of the country, the former Soviet Union plundered a large number of trees from the Northeast.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the timber needed for national construction and production were cut down from the Northeast.
In the 1980s, the Japanese saw the opportunity when China needed foreign exchange and waved banknotes to kill the purchasing trees in the Northeast. A large number of trees that had grown for hundreds of years were all cut down.
In later generations, a huge flood in Songhua River caused tens of billions of losses to the Northeast in 1998. This did not count how many people died.
Zhang Lang, Changbai Mountain, could not control the big and small Xing'anling, nor could he have the ability to manage it.
But he had to care about the Xilong Mountains at the door of his house. This is his temple and his territory. No one is allowed to destroy the environment of the Xilong Mountains.
"The Prime Minister once instructed that the Northeast forest should be 'the more you pick, the better you pick, the green mountains will always be, and you can use them forever.' But look! Not to mention the distance, in our Songshulingzi Town, how many green mountains have become bald in recent years?"
"……………” Secretary Zhou and County Mayor Wu were speechless.
"Maybe my behavior looks stupid! But in order to raise our mountains, I would rather be this fool!"
"……………” Secretary Zhou and County Mayor Wu were both moved by Zhang Lang's feelings.
"As for the employees of the forest farm, they can be converted into forest rangers, and our Xilong Villa pays their salary!"
"Wolf cub! Have you calculated that the salary of these hundreds of people is not a small amount per month! Over time, can you bear it?"
"A forest farm employee's salary is only 600 yuan a year! Based on 500 people, it is only 300,000 yuan a year!"
"Not only 300,000? You're so big. Your town's fiscal revenue is not that much in a year!" County Mayor Wu County, County Mayor Qid, last year, our village's income exceeded 200,000 in less than half a year. This spring, we plan to expand the vegetable greenhouse to 100,000 yuan per year. Based on the annual income of one greenhouse, we only have a vegetable greenhouse of 10 million yuan per year! Our village also has pig farms, deer farms, handicraft farms, and furniture factories. What's the 300,000 yuan?"
"………………” Zhang Lang's words made County Mayor Wu speechless.
After a while, County Magistrate Wu asked, "I remember you said that the vegetable greenhouse has a large investment. A vegetable greenhouse costs about 10,000 yuan. Where did you get that much money?"
"The willow weaving and stone carvings in our village's handicraft factory are very popular among Xiangjiang compatriots! Mr. Ye from Forde Company is willing to fund all the tempered glass needed to build 100 greenhouses in our village without any compensation! We can buy some wood for the rest and build it yourself!" Zhang Lang said relaxedly.
“…………”
County Magistrate Wu was really convinced by Zhang Lang's luck and didn't know what to say. He just started building a greenhouse and the county's material bureau sponsored him glass. He was preparing to expand the scale. He met a big boss from Xiangjiang and was willing to provide him with tempered glass.
"Okay! I'll take this matter! I'll run for you!" Secretary Zhou made the decision.
"Secretary! How can you run away alone in this matter? I will report to the mayor's work!" County Mayor Wu also agreed and was willing to go to the mayor to help with the work.
"Thank you! Thank you for your support from both leaders!" Zhang Lang stood up and bowed slightly to Secretary Zhou and County Mayor Wu.
"No need to thank us! You taught us a lesson today and slapped us hard! This slap is good! A person of such a big age is not as good as a young man to see for the long term!"
Both Secretary Zhou and County Mayor Wu are leaders who are dedicated to their work, which makes Zhang Lang useless.
"Leader! There is another thing to report to you! This Ye is the British. His grandfather was rescued by the Chinese team during World War II. So in order to repay his kindness, Mr. Ye is willing to donate a road to our county. He built a road from Songshulingzi Town to the county for us for free."
"Good boy! You have something to hide for me! Do I disagree with your village contracting the Xilong Mountains, and you don't plan to say it?" Secretary Zhou was shocked and pointed at Zhang Lang and cursed.
"This...this" County Mayor Wu was so excited that he couldn't speak.
