After the road was repaired, the villagers engaged in work in the farming and processing park
About ten feet, a tree and a flower were planted at intervals of about ten feet on the outside of the road, maybe winter jasmine, maybe jasmine, maybe chrysanthemum, maybe plum, all dug up from the mountain.
After the busy farming period, the villagers came to relax and suddenly noticed the changes outside the surrounding walls of the leisurely farmland. They felt that the doorway of a lane was much more beautiful. They also made some green bricks in twos and threes to pave the road in front of their house. Some villagers are quite creative. When paving the ground, some round stones are mixed between the bricks to form a pattern of flowers or animals, which is particularly beautiful.
After the brick roads in front of each house were connected together, the villagers suddenly realized that the entire Qingshan Village was much more beautiful than before.
This is the purpose of Qin Mian, subtly leading the villagers to transform Qingshan Village, and eventually transform Qingshan Village into a paradise.
One cool morning, Qin Mian and Lei Tie came to Li Zheng's home again, Lei Tie still holding a scroll in his hand.
Several villagers who accidentally saw them followed curiously, but Lizheng couldn't drive them away.
"Iron Wife, what good idea do you have?" Li Zheng thought of being summoned by his parents the last time and personally praised him, but he was still very excited and blushing.
Qin Mian smiled and said, "Uncle Lizheng, ATie and I are here this time. There are two things in total. The first thing, we want to ask, can we buy the mountains around our village?"
"You want to buy mountains?" Li Zhengxin said: The idea of the rich is really hard to understand. Those mountains can't grow food, in his opinion, they are really worthless.
Qin Mian nodded.
Li Zheng said: "There is nothing you can't buy, I can go to the county town to get you a land lease."
Qin Mian said: "We want to buy Feiying Mountain behind the village. How much money do you think?"
Li Zheng thought for a while, "Feiying Mountain... that mountain is not small. I remember a few years ago, the landlord of a village in Liushui Town bought a mountain near their village and spent more than 300 taels of silver. It will exceed five hundred taels."
"We will buy Feiying Mountain." Qin Mian said, "At that time, ATie and I will follow you to the county seat. Excuse me so many times, we have to treat you to dinner."
"Haha, okay." Li Zheng said happily.
A villager asked curiously: "Tiezi Wife, what did you buy that mountain for?"
Qin Mian did not shy away, "We plan to build a summer resort on the mountain." He is not afraid of others following suit. For one thing, it is impossible for others to design the summer resort more than him; secondly, he has a cheating device, and the built summer resort is in The summer resort must be stronger than other summer resorts.
Several villagers were surprised and admired.
Li Zheng asked: "The second thing is?"
Qin Mian asked with a smile, "Uncle Lizheng, do you want to make Qingshan Village more beautiful? Do you want to make the villagers of Qingshan Village richer?"
Li Zheng looked straight, "Of course!"
Qin Mian looked at the five villagers who were shining with excitement, "Brothers, please avoid them."
Although the five villagers wanted to know what good ideas Qin Mian had, they changed their minds for fear of upsetting him. They all smiled and politely handed over to him and Lei Tie and left.
Qin Mian said: "To make our village more beautiful, first, plant flowers; second, plant fruit trees so that there are flowers in all seasons and fruits in all seasons. Flowers and trees are not randomly planted, but planted in a planned way. For example, this piece of land should be planted with flowers and that piece of land should be planted with trees. In addition, not everyone planted the same fruit trees, but one family planted peach trees and that family planted pear trees, which is convenient to take care of and ensure that every household It's profitable. Just imagine if everyone planted peach trees and there were more fruits, it would be difficult to sell, and the variety would be too single."
Li was nodding repeatedly.
Qin Mian unfolded the scroll in Lei Tie's hand and placed it on the table, "This is the transformed Qingshan Village, look at it."
Li was looking at the neat houses, spacious truths, beautiful sea of flowers, and fruitful fruit trees in the painting...we were amazed.
"Okay! These fields?"
Lizheng saw the famous painting in the painting.
Qin Mian nodded, "Yes, the fields in the painting and the fields in our village are the same in terms of quantity and location."
"You painted it? It must have taken a lot of effort." Li Zheng patted him on the shoulder.
Lei Tie said: "Four days."
"You two have bothered." Lizheng said with emotion.
"It's just a little effort. If we really want to rebuild Qingshan Village, some villagers' fields need to be planted with fruit trees." Qin Mian paused, "This is just one of our ideas. Whether it can be realized or not depends on you, Uncle Li Zheng. The only thing we can guarantee is that we will do our best to teach the villagers to plant flowers and fruit trees."
Li was frowning for a while. If he could make Qingshan Village more beautiful and make the villagers richer, he would of course be happy. However, this matter is not that simple. It's useless only if he agrees, and he has to consider the villagers' ideas. Farmers have to pay a certain amount of land tax every year. If some of the fields originally grown for grain are used to grow fruit trees, the grain output will inevitably be lower. If the output is not enough even to pay the land tax, the villagers will have to pay for it. If the flowers and fruit trees can not make money, wouldn't they drive the villagers to a dead end?
Qin Mian understands his concerns, "You don't need to make a decision in a hurry. Uncle Li Zheng can consider it slowly, even if you don't agree in the end, it doesn't hurt.
The anxiety in Lizheng's heart slowly receded, and he laughed ridiculously, "It's me (Note 1). Yes, this matter is not in a hurry. Or settle your matter of buying mountains first. How about going to the county town tomorrow?"
"no problem."
The other villagers heard from the five villagers that Qin Mian wanted to give the villagers a good idea to make money, and rushed to Lizheng's and Qin Mian's house with excitement to inquire about the news. Unfortunately, both Lizheng's and Qin Mian's houses were closed. . The villagers had no choice but to hold back their anxiety and wait for them to be summoned for discussion.
The next day, Qin Mian and Lei Tie took YuanYuan and ManMan, and He Lizheng to Zhaoyang County in their family carriage.
Lizheng also brought the six-year-old village radish. The Luo family taught Little Carrot very well. They were not young, that is, they were both sensible and well-behaved. They were a qualified little brother in front of YuanYuan and ManMan.
When they arrived at the county seat, the group first went to the county government office and spent 450 taels of silver to buy Feiying Mountain, and for the land deeds and the officials to manage the yamen for a dozen silvers.
After finishing the business, the three adults and the three children strolled around the street, bought some gadgets for the three children, and went to Nie Heng's restaurant for lunch near noon.
Nie Heng happened to be there.
His wife is now more than two months pregnant, and she kept chattering in Qin Mian's ear when she went to Shuangshoulou a few times before that she wanted to lend YuanYuan and ManMan to his house for a period of time. It is a pity that Qin Mian and Lei Tie are not free. If YuanYuan and ManMan are allowed to go by themselves, the two of them are not at ease, and then they did not go.
"If YuanYuan and ManMan are willing to go home with me for a few days, my wife will surely be a man in one fell swoop." Nie Heng said with regret.
Qin Mian laughed at him, "I want a son so much? Be careful that your lady knows and makes you kneel on the washboard."
Nie Heng smiled and said, "I only blame YuanYuan and ManMan for being so cute. I hope I can have a son who is as cute as them."
ManMan took out a piece of Qin Mian's homemade fruit toffee from his big pocket and handed it to him, in a serious manner: "Uncle Nie, give this candy to aunt, aunt will definitely give birth to a cute little brother."
Nie Heng was taken aback, his heart warmed, rubbed his little head, took the precious candy and put it in his pocket, and laughed, "Okay, thank you ManMan, I will definitely give this candy to your aunt."
When Nie Heng returned home, he really stuffed the candy into his lady's mouth. Mrs. Nie Shao thought that her father-in-law finally knew how to coax people, and she was smiling for several days...
Back to Qingshan Village from the county seat, Qin Mian and Lei Tie set out to build the Qilin Mountain Resort.
Three days later, Lizheng once again called all the villagers to the home for discussion, relayed Qin Mian's words, and asked them to consider it carefully.
The reaction of the villagers surprised both Qin Mian and Li Zheng, and no one opposed or hesitated. Everyone believes in Qin Mian's ability and is willing to take a gamble with him.
Qin Mian was moved by it and felt that these villagers also had a lovely side, and were more confident in transforming Qingshan Village.
While Li Zheng was relieved, the decision became firm. Even the villagers believe in Qin Mian and Lei Tie so much. He should believe in them even more. As long as the big guys work together, they will be successful.
Because the best season for planting flowers and trees is spring, the plan to transform Qingshan Village has been temporarily shelved until the end of the year.
Before disbanding the people, the villagers on behalf of the local government kept the matter secret to avoid inconvenience.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie continue to work on the Qilin Mountain Resort. From cutting things up the mountain, digging trees, digging soil, repairing roads, buying stones... From the start to the completion, a total of more than 100 workers were hired. From July to the end of December, it lasted nearly half a year. .
Qin Mian and Lei Tie took YuanYuan, ManMan, a little white and golden retriever, and became the first people to stay in Qilin Mountain Resort.
The entire Kylin Mountain Resort is basically made of wood. There are six courtyards in total. Because it is a "Summer Resort", the names all have a refreshing atmosphere. They are Qingchun Pavilion, Liangxia Pavilion, Hanqiu Tower, and Cold Winter Courtyard. Shuangju and Youxueyuan have very different styles of the six courtyards, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions scattered in different patterns; insects, fish, birds and beasts, flying around (note 2). Inside and outside the villa, there are tall trees and deep vegetation, making it a quiet place. It is conceivable that in summer, it must be a summer resort.
