What was originally a major problem was solved directly.
That's wonderful.
Captain Zhang couldn't stop smiling.
He had originally planned to ask the commune for help. Now that the county secretary has agreed, the matter has been successfully resolved.
Comrade Jiang is really quite good.
After Secretary Lin and his group left, Captain Zhang had someone broadcast a message throughout the village, asking the villagers to gather at the village hall.
Before long, all the villagers had arrived.
"Quiet."
Hearing the commotion, Captain Zhang picked up the microphone and started shouting.
The previously noisy villagers immediately quieted down.
"Captain, the village is calling us to a meeting. What kind of meeting is it?"
"Could it be that we're dividing things up?"
That would be wonderful.
Captain Zhang coughed once, and after everyone quieted down, he began to explain what had happened.
Upon hearing that Jiang Yue wanted to contract the village's reservoir, some villagers immediately objected.
"Captain, the reservoir belongs to the village. How can we let outsiders contract it out?"
"This is speculation and profiteering, and that will get you arrested."
"Yes, this reservoir belongs to our village. How can we let outsiders contract it out?"
"That's right."
Hearing the commotion, Captain Zhang spoke again.
"Quiet, what do you know? This is an instruction from Secretary Lin of the county; the county and the commune both agree to this..."
Many villagers were surprised to hear that it was about the county party secretary.
They never expected that contracting the reservoir would attract the attention of the county party secretary. Since Jiang Yue could contract the reservoir, could they perhaps benefit from it and contract some things as well?
"Don't overthink it. Comrade Jiang protected the people and made a great contribution. If it weren't for Comrade Jiang, our village's forests and houses might not have been saved..."
Captain Zhang recounted Jiang Yue's story.
Those who were initially unconvinced were astonished upon hearing this.
Unexpectedly, this woman did such a great thing. No wonder the county secretary came to reward Comrade Jiang.
"Captain, how much is the annual contract fee for this reservoir? Is the money paid to the village or the commune?"
“This money should go to the village; this is our village’s reservoir.”
"That's right."
Captain Zhang explained the price that the village officials had discussed.
"We just discussed it and agreed on a fee of 600 yuan per year. The contract period is 20 years."
Although some suggested a thousand yuan, six hundred yuan now is money that an average person would need to save for two years. Comrade Jiang wants to contract the reservoir, but raising fish and shrimp is no easy task; it requires a lot of effort every year. And what if it doesn't make money... ugh...
Comrade Jiang is so capable, he's bound to make a lot of money.
"Captain, six hundred yuan a year is too little."
"Yes, fish are so expensive now. This reservoir must have several thousand kilograms of fish every year. This price is too cheap."
"Prices need to be raised."
After arguing for a while, even though Captain Zhang said it was from above, some villagers still insisted on paying more money.
Jiang Yue spoke.
"Eight hundred yuan a year, increasing by fifty yuan every year."
Some people still objected after hearing Jiang Yue's words.
Captain Zhang slammed his fist on the table and roared.
"That's the decision."
The other villagers stopped making a fuss after hearing what Captain Zhang said.
