Chapter 84: Village Secretary, Road Repair, and Subsidies

Village Secretary?

Song Tan instantly became spirited, hurriedly shaking the other party's hand like an old hand.

Then asked: "Then do you have anything to do with me? Is it to repair the road for our village? Sigh, I won't hide it from you, I drive a broken little pickup every day, and it bumps me so much!"

Zhu Jun:...

Her full draft was blocked clean at this moment, only remembering road repair.

But was road repair something she could handle?

I don't know why, but she even felt a burst of sighing.

So she had to pull her hand back awkwardly:

"Just call me by my name; we are peers, I'm only two or three years older than you..."

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Zhu Jun remembered the key point she had almost forgotten, and couldn't help but ask again:

"Then is it convenient to reveal what new formula you used in your fields this year?"

Whether Song Tan used anything or not wasn't something that could be explained clearly by just pulling a sentence, and in the end, she only said enthusiastically and fanatically:

"You also think our fields are very fertile this year, right? Oh my, my mom said, the Land God has manifested, it's time to prosper me!"

Zhu Jun had also been in the village for more than a year, and it wasn't the first time she had seen the superstitious thinking of people in the village, but is it really okay for you, a young girl, to speak so firmly?

Song Tan pulled a sentence of metaphysics, and then pulled some science half-truthfully:

"Actually, it's not that our fields are very good, mainly because our family is the only one farming in the village now. That land has been abandoned for many years, and I don't know how much rotten fertilizer is buried under the soil layer."

"Before we turned the soil, we burned it once to fertilize the land, remove bacteria, and remove insects."

"Therefore, if you serve the plants in the ground carefully in the first year, it is natural for them to grow well."

Although Zhu Jun didn't come from a farming background, she had also received training and education, and she knew clearly what the situation of farming in the village was now.

Chemical fertilizer, urea, and pesticides haven't reached the level of fully ecological organic yet. It is rare for ordinary Chinese milk vetch to grow such a good taste.

But hearing Song Tan sigh again:

"Think about it, with the current policies, in villages and towns slightly closer to the city, straw is not allowed to be burned, fields are not allowed to be moved, and if you want to interplant two grapes on your own mountain, you have to specifically apply for it, otherwise it's illegal..."

Song Tan also sighed:

"Farmers have farmed for a lifetime, and when they are old, doing something is illegal. I'm not saying this policy is bad, it's just that there are many policies that are applied mechanically, completely ignoring reality."

"Our Yunqiao Village is twenty minutes away from the town by car, and more than an hour away from the city. In such a remote place, the degree of freedom is slightly larger, and it is normal for things to grow well. In the past, our place was famous for its outstanding people and beautiful land."

Whether these rambling words, from road repair to the Land God to burning wasteland and composting and policies... convinced anyone, only the young village secretary herself knew in her heart.

She was silent for a while, then decisively changed the subject.

"I see your series of work in the fields and mountains, should you want to make some scale for the agricultural industry in the village?"

"I heard from people in the village before that you worked in Ningcheng, which is a provincial capital city. Now that you've come back, are you really determined to do it for a long time?"

Song Tan smiled, her expression carrying distant recollection:

"I went to live at school in the town when I was eleven in junior high school, lived at school in the city in high school, lived at school in the city in college, and went directly to Ningcheng after graduation..."

"Counting it all up, how many years have I stayed with my parents?"

"My mom's meaning is, as long as I can find a suitable partner in Ningcheng, this life is considered complete, and she won't worry about me anymore."

"But..." Song Tan raised her chin to let Zhu Jun look at Qiao Qiao, who was running over with bubble gum in the distance.

"Look at them being so good, how could I bear to drift outside all the time?"

Drifting all the way to the Cultivation World, only to find that in that place, if you aren't strong enough, you'll be beaten, and there's no way to control your own destiny.

So Song Tan lived in seclusion, closing her doors for ten or twenty years at every turn, and even willingly farmed... all for a sense of respect and freedom.

And now, she has returned.

That strange city, she didn't have time to escape in her previous life, and now she will never go back again.

Who hasn't lived a life like this?

The night is indeed not suitable for talking about this topic.

Zhu Jun took a deep breath, watching Qiao Qiao, the famous fool in the village, walk over—fair skin, black hair, a pair of eyes as clear as stars, even if he doesn't speak, one can see the childishness on his face.

Qiao Qiao looked at Zhu Jun for a while, then suddenly revealed a smile, and then unwrapped the bubble gum in his hand: "Sister, do you eat bubble gum?"

Zhu Jun's heart trembled.

As a cadre, naturally, one cannot take a single cent or thread from the masses—but who can refuse Qiao Qiao?

She reached out to take it, the smell of inferior essence in her mouth instantly permeated, also making her find her train of thought.

"Song Tan, I actually wanted to find you, no other meaning, just wanted to tell you that if your family's agricultural products do well this year, you can consider expanding the scale in the future and contracting other fields and forests in the village."

She looked at the green mountains: "This is a golden mountain and a silver mountain, but the golden mountain and silver mountain cannot feed the people under the mountain, and a road needs to be opened."

"When the time comes, for the places you fancy, the village will give support. I only hope that in terms of employment, you can prioritize the labor force in our village."

Otherwise, when autumn and winter come, everyone in the village who can move will go out to work, leaving only a few elderly people to guard the increasingly lonely wasteland village here.

Song Tan was quite surprised.

How to say this? Her parents didn't dare to have such great confidence in her, but the village secretary in front of her was so bold.

Song Tan was puzzled: "Aren't you afraid I'll lose money?"

Zhu Jun laughed heartily:

"I've also eaten good things, and I know clearly how the things grown in your fields taste."

In today's society, there are many online channels, as long as there is excellent quality, as long as the place where transportation can reach, perhaps it will be difficult in the early stage, but there will never be no market.

"It's just..." Zhu Jun still reminded: "Our village road, mending and mending for three years, major repairs are estimated to be impossible. So you try to plant some that can be stored and are not afraid of bumps in the early stage."

Song Tan naturally knew these things, and she asked again: "I heard that the government now has subsidies for agricultural product express delivery, can I apply?"

"Yes!" Zhu Jun agreed: "Agricultural products are tax-free, and vegetable transportation is also toll-free. As for express delivery subsidies, this is a policy that just came down last year. You register an online store, and come back to me to get an 'Application Form for E-commerce Agricultural Product Express Delivery Subsidy', and fill it out."

She was clearly very competent, and even answered a small question in an orderly manner: "Postal subsidy is the highest, six jiao. Other express deliveries are five jiao per order. However, the upper limit is a subsidy of one hundred thousand yuan."

Song Tan hesitated: "Then... what if I send it via Fengfeng?"

Zhu Jun:...

She was silent for a while, then put away her passionate thoughts:

"That's why I told you to plant more that can be stored. Fengfeng express price is too high, there is no subsidy."

Song Tan:...

Fortunately, I don't offer free shipping.
