Chapter ２７ (1/2)

After dinner, Wang Baolai was called to the village committee office by Wang Huairen. Zhang Yuehua is there, too.

”I heard that you want to contract the land on both sides of the bank. What do you mean?” Wang Huairen comes to the point. He just wants to know what Wang Baolai wants to do.

”I just want to plant more land. If there is less land, there will be no profit.” Wang Bao.

”Tell me about it. If you yield 800 Jin of wheat per mu, it will cost 800 yuan, right? What can you do for such a heavy capital? ” Although Wang Huairen didn't do much farm work, he was clear about the things in the fields.

”It's not that big. If I contract, you'll have to get rid of the cost of pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, etc., as well as the labor cost. You can't even see the profit of 100 yuan per mu of land.” Wang Baolai replied immediately.

Wang Huairen laughs. He really ignores this matter. If all the agricultural costs are removed, there will be no profit of 100 yuan for one mu of wheat. ”How much is it for 300 mu of land? Does it cost 30000 yuan? It's only for a year. What can you plant to recover the cost? Besides, do you have to pay for labor? ”

”I want to grow rice.” Wang Bao.

”Rice is a little more expensive, but the cost of growing rice is also high. It's watering and transplanting. Do you think it's no longer labor-intensive?” Wang Huairen cut a, think Wang Baolai is pure nonsense.

”It's better than growing wheat.”

”Wang Baolai, I support you. The big deal is to throw the thousand yuan in. But you can't cover so much land all at once. You'll be crazy. Let's just talk about labor. Every family has a little bit of land. You can't write a blank check to others and put down your own land to work for you, can you? These days, no cash, who the hell will pull your plow? Talent is the first productive force. If there is no one to help you with your work, the more land you make, the more you will suffer! ”

”Uncle, you just say that the land can be contracted to me. As for other matters, you are not in charge

Wang Baolai has his own temperament.

”I can only guarantee that the collective land of more than 100 mu is in the hands of individual villagers. It depends on your own ability to pass it on to you. I can't give orders. ”

”Uncle, if you don't mobilize me, how can I do my work? You can hold a villagers' meeting and tell me what I mean. One mu of land will be compensated 200 yuan a year. I'm willing to give that number. ”

”You think 200 yuan is a lot, don't you? Do you think people can't settle accounts? We usually have two seasons a year or three seasons in two years. Just now, you have calculated that the net profit of one mu of land is 100, but the farmers do not calculate that, because the effort and strength of their own farming never count as money. So you can't buy land from the villagers for 200 yuan per mu. ”

”How much is that?” After listening to Wang Huairen's words, Wang Baolai has to accept this account. The farmers never count their time in the cost. When they calculate the net profit of a piece of land, they will only take out the money for fertilizer, pesticide and seeds, and even ignore the money for watering the land, because in some years they will depend on the weather.

”Unless you make them feel that it's better not to farm than to farm.” Wang Huairen said with a sly smile“ For collective land in the village, I can give you 150 pieces of wallet a year, because the labor in the village is calculated as the cost. But the land in the hands of the villagers, it depends on you to mobilize. As a branch secretary, I can't advocate for you at the meeting that farming doesn't make money, can I
