The greenhouse contracted by Jiang Xiaoye also attracted many people from the village to come and watch. When they learned that Gastrodia elata was to be planted, they all tried to persuade them.

"Is Gastrodia elata feasible?" The old village chief smoked his pipe and felt that Jiang Xiaoye was acting recklessly.

"Don't worry, Second Grandpa, I'm sure of it, and I've contacted a big company. They will harvest whatever I plant in the future. If I can make money, I also want to bring the villagers to do it with me."

Jiang Xiaoye understood what the old village chief meant. Now the village is in a rhythm of running outside, and there are fewer and fewer people.

"That's good, that's a good idea." The old village chief laughed.

"Second Grandpa, haven't you ever thought about the problem of getting rich and developing in the village? Now all the girls in our village, including the younger generation, those in their twenties, thirties, or even their thirties or forties, can't find a wife. None of the girls in the surrounding villages can find a wife.

People look up to the young people in our village."

Other villages are getting richer and richer, but Yushan Village is getting poorer and poorer.

There is no running water, and there are frequent power outages. There is not even a spacious loess road in the village, let alone asphalt and cement roads.

Being talked to his heart, the old village chief took a few puffs of cigarette and said dryly: "It's too remote. The government also wants to lead our development and build us greenhouses, brick factories, and even briquette factories, but it doesn't work."

"Isn't it because the roads are not repaired and things can't be sold? Isn't it enough to just build the roads? We have roads in Yushan Village, and the county supports them. They have been in good shape for a long time, and we will not be in this situation now.

.”

Jiang Xiaoye is also very clear about the situation in the village.

"Before, a secretary came to the village and gave up his job in anger. Just because of the road problem, he went to the county every day, but he couldn't say anything. The county couldn't support him, and he couldn't get a loan.

We had no money for the raw materials, the briquettes factory we built collapsed, and the last hope of the village was gone, so we left in anger."

The old village chief sighed.

There is no one way, and even his future development in the village will be delayed. Jiang Xiaoye knows this very well.

"Nowadays, the national policy of poverty alleviation for impoverished mountain villages and the construction of new rural areas has been implemented. This is really not possible in Yushan Village. I remember that the equipment of the briquette factory in the village is still half-new. Was it bought by the county for our village? It cost a lot.

Money, this is such a waste."

Jiang Xiaoye thought for a while and said with a smile: "Second Grandpa, why don't you go to the county to ask the leaders for feedback?"

"Response... I used to look for him every three days or every other day, but it was of no use." The old village chief has been looking for him for who knows how many years.

"This is too tragic." Jiang Xiaoye was speechless.

Building a road in Yushan Village requires at least an investment of several million. After all, the road in Yushan Village is really embarrassing. How could such a huge sum of millions be spent on building a road in a small village?

?

There are only five to six hundred villagers left in the village.

"Let's go, Xiaoye, come with me to the briquette factory."

"Ah? Okay, okay..."

The old village chief suddenly had this idea, and Jiang Xiaoye didn't know what to say, so he could only follow it and take a look.

The old briquette factory in Yushan Village makes briquettes. In the past, Yushan Village made some money from briquettes. However, heavy rains continued for a year, and it was difficult to drive a car for several months. The raw materials could not come in, and the briquettes could not be transported out. For a long time

It closed down.

The briquette factory has been closed for four years, and the equipment has been regularly maintained. The county spent a lot of money to build the factory.

The big iron door was already rusty, and Jiang Xiaoye walked in amidst the harsh clicking sound of the door opening.

There were some hard and stone-like materials in the yard, and a few wild cats ran away quickly when they saw someone coming in.

"What a pity!"

After Jiang Xiaoye followed him into the factory, he felt a pity.

The equipment is complete, and the old village chief should often come to clean it. There are two sets of production equipment here, vibrating screens, crushers, boiler coal rooms, large and small coal bunkers, lime bunkers, and then proportioning, incoming mixers, and pulverizers.

Compressing it into briquettes is quite simple.

At the beginning, there were constant heavy rains, and there was no way for vehicles to get in without good roads. The supply of raw materials was not enough, and it was in ruins.

"I said at the beginning that this was the only hope for the whole village, but I didn't want it to be destroyed in the heavy rain!" The old village chief sighed with emotion, looking at these half-old equipment with his hands behind his back, showing a trace of sadness.

"Why don't we restart work?" Jiang Xiaoye was curious. The road could at least be run now.

The old village chief shook his head and said: "I don't have money to buy raw materials and can't afford workers. These are small things. The most important thing is that there is little demand and the place is remote. There used to be a material yard in Qili Village that was more convenient for delivering materials. It also closed down two years ago."

, they are not willing to send raw materials to other places.”

Maybe it's because I haven't talked to anyone for a long time. The old village chief kept talking for a long time.

Jiang Xiaoye looked at the gray-haired second grandfather, who had been in the village his whole life, but could only watch the village slowly decline.

The cost of transporting materials is inherently high. If the road is far away, there is no good road, and the demand is not great, no one is willing to cooperate with Yushan Village.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoye went out.

He needs capital, and although he still has some at home, he doesn't want his parents to give it away before they see the money in the bank.

And I still do business that feels like I’m going to lose money.

Carrying the jade hairpin and the small gold ingot, Jiang Xiaoye drove out in his family's second-hand dilapidated van.

"Woof woof woof!" Xiao Hei barked all the way behind, wanting to follow along.

However, after running out of the village, I didn't see the little owner's intention to let him get into the car, so I could only stop and watch the van leave.

You actually didn’t take Mr. Hei to go wandering in the city! Mr. Hei went to steal oranges!

Xiao Hei ran toward the orange orchard aggressively.

Jiangcheng.

As a second-tier city, Jiangcheng's construction was very gorgeous. It took Jiang Xiaoye an hour and a half of running to get there.

There are antique shops in Jiangcheng, as well as antique recycling shops.

Jiang Xiaoye has visited here before, but has never been exposed to it. Jade hairpins and small gold ingots should be able to sell for some money, especially gold ingots.

The antique street is very lively. Tourists, people shopping for treasures, hawkers, and stall owners almost crowd the street.

Jiang Xiaoye immediately released the power of the mountain god, and the strange spiritual power began to brush over the items of the street vendors.

Some jade articles contained weak spiritual power, but it could almost be ignored. Jiang Xiaoye began to search for them one by one at each stall.

The items at the stalls are cheap, but the items in the store are too expensive.

"Brother, what are you buying? Let's take a look." The stall owner saw Jiang Xiaoye coming to inspect and greeted him warmly.

"I'll look again, look again."

Jiang Xiaoye smiled, replied and left. Except for a few pieces of jade that had a little bit of aura, the rest of the stall had no aura at all.
Chapter completed!
