Chapter Forty Demolition Notice
After leaving the village committee building, no one was in a hurry to leave.
As the village chief just mentioned, after discussing the contracting, we'll need to see how things go and decide whether to divide the mulberry fields and orchards.
However, An Songyu felt the situation was precarious.
After all, if the village really wanted the orchard, they would have already gone in and inquired with the village committee.
Sure enough, after that small group of villagers went in, the others didn't make a sound.
A little while later, the village officials, led by Jiang Wenlin, came out again.
They gave a brief introduction to the contract details.
Surprisingly, with only this small batch, most of the village's orchards have already been contracted out.
As for the scattered ones, the village can certainly manage them properly after collecting the contract fees this time.
Even setting aside other sources of income, allowing tourists to pick the fruit freely in the village is a way to attract visitors.
Even after managing these orchards, the money that can be earned is probably limited.
Therefore, it would be difficult to distribute them to the villagers.
As for mulberry-dike-fishpond systems, that's really troublesome.
Jiang Wenlin then discussed the matter with the villagers.
The village committee naturally hoped that the funds could be directly distributed to each household.
Of the more than 2,000 mu of mulberry-fish ponds, besides the 400 mu contracted by An Songyu's family, there are nearly 1,800 mu remaining.
Based on the population and number of households in Jiangcun, each family would have to be allocated a considerable amount.
However, if silkworms are not raised in mulberry-dike-fishpond systems, the income generated is very limited.
In particular, the villagers are all busy running their increasingly successful agritainment businesses, so they don't have the time or inclination to bother with this.
Thus, due to the unanimous opposition of the villagers, the matter of allocating mulberry-fishpond allocation could only be left unresolved.
The villagers dispersed one by one, and An Songyu's family was also about to leave when Jiang Wenlin called them back.
Jiang Wenlin greeted the others first, then turned to An Jianping and asked, "Jianping, how are you planning to manage your orchard?"
"Uncle Lin, I plan to contact someone this afternoon to clear the weeds in the orchard first," An Jianping replied directly.
He is always quite organized in his work.
Although the orchard contract was only finalized recently.
But in his mind, he had been preparing for it for several days.
"I'd also like to ask the older folks in the village how they used to manage the orchards."
“Perfect timing. I can also manage the orchard that I contracted in front of my house.”
"That's good too!" Jiang Wenlin praised first, then somewhat embarrassedly made the request:
“Jianping, there are still some orchards left in the village. We discussed it and decided to use these contract fees to manage them properly.”
"Why don't you help me contact some workers?"
"That's no big deal, Uncle Lin. Please tally up the manpower you need." An Jianping agreed readily, but he also gave prior notice:
"However, if a lot of manpower is needed, we also need to give them time to prepare."
"I'll give you the contact information once I've confirmed it."
"You can discuss the more specific details yourselves."
Jiang Wenlin felt even more embarrassed, but he didn't refuse.
After all, this was paid from the village's public funds, and every penny had to be made public to the villagers.
Therefore, the specific labor costs, etc., are certainly not as convenient as those for Jianping's family.
An Jianping didn't seem to care.
Anyway, he was just helping to make the connection, and there was no conflict of interest involved, so naturally he wouldn't bother to investigate these details.
But when An Jianping came out of the village committee, he was met not by just one or two people.
So the next day, that old van made two trips to pick up people who came to the village to work.
Others still have their own means of transportation.
In this way, over several days, all the orchards in the village became clean and tidy.
As for the other maintenance, that will have to wait a little longer.
Even so, when the village's agritainment businesses weren't too busy, An Jianping consulted experienced elders in the village.
First, the overly lush fruit trees are treated in an initial manner.
Speaking of which, the village has a fairly large area of fruit trees.
After all, the requirements for planting fruit trees are different from those for mulberry-dike-fishpond systems and flower and vegetable gardens.
Not to mention the places in the village that were originally suitable for growing fruit trees, even the small hills that were originally unsuitable for growing other things have been developed into orange orchards.
The total area is not much smaller than that of mulberry-dike-fishpond systems.
However, this time An Jianping made a large-scale contract to contract another 800 mu.
Their large family consumed over a thousand acres.
The remaining few hundred acres were mostly divided up by other villagers.
This is also why the village dared to make the decision to clear out the remaining orchards.
After all, the quantity is really not large.
With the payment received this time, it is entirely possible to fulfill the contract.
These people are really cunning.
They had only paid the first year's contract fee, wanting to give it a try first.
September is already halfway over.
An Songyu has been closely monitoring the progress of the village's orchard management.
Not only did the village take care of the remaining orchards, but they also cleared out several large fish ponds suitable for raising fish and released fish fry into them.
Although most of the mulberry fields remain unchanged, the remaining fishponds, large and small, have not been cleaned up.
But An Songyu believes that this is definitely much better than before the demolition.
And it happened on September 20th.
The demolition notice that An Songyu had been eagerly anticipating was delivered to the village committees of Jiangcun and Lincun without any warning.
Meanwhile, in accordance with the requirements of the demolition notice, effective immediately:
The two villages will suspend projects involving household registration transfers, house renovations, additions, and expansions.
When the notice reached the village, not to mention others, even the village committee took a long time to react.
Even though the land acquisition notice next to it clearly stated the scope of the land acquisition, its purpose, and the compensation standards, etc.
Yet it still left them with a feeling that they couldn't understand it at all.
After the village committee members fully came to their senses and studied the matter carefully...
The village called another meeting.
This time, even the most well-informed villagers couldn't find out the reason for the meeting.
An Songyu waited anxiously.
But after hearing the notice of the village-wide meeting, she felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
She went to An Jianmin's house, where An Jianmin, who had just received news of a meeting but had not yet found out the specific details, was in a daze.
Seeing his niece come over, he immediately asked, "Ayu, the village requires a meeting for the whole village this afternoon. Are you the only one from your family going, or should you notify your family?"
“Notify my dad!” An Songyu answered without hesitation.
An Jianmin was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized what was happening.
He stood up, somewhat excited, and walked around twice before sitting down, wanting to say something to An Songyu.
I was at a loss for words.
So he stood up again, looking somewhat lost and helpless, and walked around twice more.
"Uncle, why don't you call my dad first? Maybe I'm wrong?" An Songyu said cautiously.
She was even afraid that if she raised her voice even a little, it would upset her uncle.
After all, this newly contracted orchard has only been prepared for a short time!
If this really is a demolition project... wouldn't that be like getting something for free?
Moreover, it's obvious that you'll find a lot of money; who wouldn't be excited if they were in your shoes?
