Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 27 Village and town centres, banks visit

Yujia Village.

In an alley at the west end of the village.

After experiencing the Tiger Head Run, I lost all my money. I packed my personal belongings tremblingly and was kicked out of the house.

"The world is in decline!"

"The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"

In the courtyard.

Yu Yang sat in the main hall of his new home with his elder brother and second brother standing on his left and right.

[You capture this place and gain the village center.]
next moment.

A translucent page appeared in his field of vision.

On the left is a 3D bird's-eye view, and on the right are various icons.

The bird's-eye view shows the entire Yujia Village, including wheat fields, dirt roads, and wasteland, but every household and every piece of land is cut by hexagonal lines, and the whole thing looks like it is covered by a fishing net.

And inside these fishing nets.

Some are all blue, such as wasteland, experimental fields, small Western-style buildings, the village chief’s house, my own yard, Yu Laoliu’s house, the old party secretary’s house…

Some are all red, such as the machine well, the store, the farmers who have not yet converted to a heated kang, the farmland belonging to Yujia Village near the highway, and the kiln pit (the pit dug for kiln firing) in the northeast corner of the village...

Some are half blue and half red, such as farmers who have renovated their kangs, and yards that are rented out to their families to house vegetable vendors...

The overall picture is very similar to the vote count in each state during the North American presidential election.

Blue 51%, red 49%.

And at this moment.

In the 3D bird's-eye view, the old party secretary's house has a new icon of an antique mahogany tiled house.

[Village center, first level.]
[You have unlocked the houses, walls, gates, watchtowers, and mills.]
Along with the prompt, there are 5 more icons on the right side of the page, in addition to farmers and farmlands.

Residential buildings, with their own building materials, can increase the population limit.

The courtyard wall, with self-provided building materials, can defend against enemy attacks.

The gate of the courtyard is built with self-provided building materials and can defend against enemy attacks.

Sentry tower, with its own building materials, can increase the alert range.

A mill that produces food.

“No wonder it’s called the Village Center.”

“Isn’t this too crude?”

"There's not even a military camp or a blacksmith shop..."

Yu Yang looked at the translucent page, thought about it, and silently recited the conditions for upgrading the village center.

next moment.

The 3D bird's-eye view is raised to show the entire Shiliying, with Yujia Village in blue and the rest of the area in red.

Then, a red symbol of crossed swords was posted on the township compound.

And a large group of minions waving flags and shouting appeared again on both sides of the field of vision.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

"Grab it!"

[Capture this place and the village center will be upgraded to level 2.]
[Secondary town centers will be unlocked: military camp, shipyard, blacksmith shop.]
Yu Yang understood.

Yujia Village → Township Courtyard →……

Maybe next time it will dare to let us go to Pingdong County.

Then Tai City, Dongshan...

"Isn't it good to be alive?"

It is impossible for Yu Yang to offend the township secretary, let alone the county manager.

As for going further up...

I can’t even think about it!

Otherwise, Lao Yu is a living example.

Yu Yang dismissed all thoughts and looked at the new construction unit.

"Build houses for the people."

[Please arrange the number of farmers.]
"10 people."

[Please select a construction area.]
Yu Yang followed the prompts, dragged the small map, and selected a plastic greenhouse in the wasteland in the north.

next moment.

Ten strong men carried a lot of building materials from the construction site in the parking lot, stepped into the plastic greenhouse one after another, and started hammering and hitting things.

Pile foundation, frame, brick wall and roof.

The whole process is like the growth of bean sprouts and can be seen with the naked eye.

Look at the time, it starts at 4pm and it’s not even midnight yet.

[You build a house, the population limit +1.]
Farmer: 156/156, 67 are on the way.

Yu Yang ignored the prompt and looked towards the house.

This is a large tiled house with an antique feel. Although it was built with self-provided building materials and red bricks, the exterior walls were coated with cement slurry, making them look like blue bricks.

Moreover, the layout of the room is such that you cannot see the bed by just entering the house and standing in the main hall.

Instead, there are two main halls, an ear room on each side, and a large master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a kitchen at the back.

The overall layout is spacious and bright, with a total area of ​​120 square meters.

If there was a toilet, it would be comparable to commercial housing in the city.

Undoubtedly, houses are far more suitable for living than small bungalows.

You can completely suspend the construction outside the parking lot and replace all the building plans with this.

The problem is, the growth rate of bean sprouts can be covered by plastic greenhouses, but how to cover it in ordinary houses?

Do we also use plastic greenhouses?

After the construction is completed, pull away the plastic paper and look at the astonished people: plant soybeans and harvest houses. Are you surprised?
"If we do this, I'm afraid the whole village will go crazy."

Yu Yang temporarily put aside the houses and turned to study the walls.

The length and height of this unit can be adjusted. Although there is an upper limit on the value, it can enclose a parking lot. If you add a gate, a sentry tower, and a 3D bird's-eye view in the field of vision, they can help each other and completely prevent thieves from sneaking in.

As for the last unit, the mill…

It's the industrial age now, who still uses this thing to grind flour?

After learning about the new functions, Yu Yang got up, went downstairs and came to the parking lot construction site.

First, ask the foreman for the construction drawings I drew myself, cancel the original plan, refer to the 3D bird's-eye view of Yujia Village in my field of vision, lay the courtyard wall, and finally copy down the route map.

This is much easier than racking your brains in another time and space and then getting the result through a lot of calculations.

We will then arrange for people to purchase plastic mesh and cover the foundation pits of all the houses tomorrow.

Since the bean sprouts must be taken care of by a strong man, their growth can be accelerated.

Then buildings such as houses, walls, and gates naturally require strong men to construct them in order to speed up their construction.

In this way, it becomes normal to lay the foundation today, build the base tomorrow, build the wall the day after tomorrow, put up the beam the day after tomorrow, complete the roof on the fifth day, and plaster the wall on the sixth day.

……

The next day.

The old party secretary seems to have fallen in love with his own AMG Mercedes-Benz.

Before daybreak, he moved his stool and sat in the yard, his eyes fixed on the car body.

Yu Yang felt that he had gone a bit too far yesterday, so after giving the other person a piece of meat-filled steamed bun, he also added a bowl of mutton soup.

The old secretary took a sip from the bowl, which was covered with beard oil, and commented while smacking his lips: "Although there is a lot of meat, it is not Han Gai's, so it is not authentic."

"Hey, it's free food for you. I've picked it out. Come and take it." Yu Yang took back the meat bun and walked towards the gate while eating.

At this moment, the voice of Liu Danian, president of the county branch, came from outside the courtyard.

"Is Village Chief Yu home?"

"Hey, there!"

"Comrade Xiao Yu? Why are you here? I'm looking for your village chief."

"What do you want from me?"

"..."

After a while.

The living room on the first floor of the small western-style building.

Yu Yang held the village chief's brand new thermos cup, brewed the village chief's Tieguanyin tea, sat on the village chief's armchair, played with the village chief's fitness ball, and looked at the village chief's partners.

"President Liu, how come you have time to come to my place?"

...

Liu Danian was not in a hurry to sell the brick kiln.

Because banks also have investment business.

For example, the county Agricultural Bank arranges someone to take over a brick kiln, and then uses the brick kiln to obtain a mortgage loan from the Construction Bank, so that a sum of funds can be obtained.

The county Agricultural Bank then lends out the funds at a high interest rate, which not only does not occupy the annual loan amount but also allows it to make some profit from the interest rate difference.

Therefore, even as the Gregorian New Year approaches and the bank is about to settle accounts, neither the city branch nor the county branch is in a hurry.

Never imagined.

After a snowstorm, everything changed.

Yesterday, the person in charge of the brick kiln arranged by the county Agricultural Bank, along with the mortgage loan review team arranged by the Construction Bank, went to the brick kiln to verify the capital.

A tunnel kiln that produces 6 red bricks a day has an annual turnover of at least 200 million, with a profit of 20%, or a net profit of 40.

If you take out a mortgage, you can still get 50 yuan even if the cave collapses.

Unexpectedly, the county construction bank wanted to see whether the brick kiln that had been shut down for many years had been repaired, so they paid to hire the master craftsman who helped Lao Yu repair the brick kiln.

The old masters were very confident at the beginning, and they were sure that there was no problem with the brick kiln. As long as the cave hole was repaired, they could light the kiln.

But when leaving, an old master was in a hurry to urinate in the cave, and then problems arose.

"If there is a heavy rain next year, the rainwater will seep in from the outside surface, which may cause the foundation to sink, the foundation to collapse, and the kiln body to crack..."

Liu Danian felt that his ears were still echoing with the old master's words.

"Comrade Xiao Yu, the bank is in a difficult situation as the end of the year approaches. I asked you for the brick kiln before just to report to the higher-ups. Now that the matter is settled, I plan to return the brick kiln. After all, the brick kiln is worth millions and can offset the 20 bank loan. Your family is at a great disadvantage."

"Leader, there is an old saying in Shiliying that suffering a loss is a blessing. For the development of the bank, for the development of the local area, and for the development of the country, I must suffer this loss.

"..."

"So, you should keep the brick kiln. Consider it as a small contribution made by our Yu family to Pingdong County."

"Comrade Xiao Yu..."

"Leader, please don't praise me. I will be proud."

"??!"

Who wants to praise you?!

Liu Danian couldn't help but light a cigarette, but his hands and mouth trembled with anger and he couldn't light it.

As for why I was so angry...

Things started half a month ago.

That night, Village Chief Yu came to his house with a soft pack of Hua Xia cigarettes and said that as long as the bank got the brick kiln, he would buy it for 25 yuan.

And 20 of it will help the bank fill the loan gap, and the remaining 5 will be divided among the bank.

This is simply a blessing from heaven, there is no reason to disagree.

Especially the next day when I asked around, I found out that Village Chief Yu was actually hung up and beaten by Yu Yang, which was a very humiliating thing.

It was obvious that Village Chief Yu was resentful, so he came to the door at night.

Under the leadership of Liu Danian, the county branch successfully amended the loan contract with Yu Yang and obtained the brick kiln.

But the next day, Village Chief Yu, who had said he wanted to buy the brick kiln for 25 yuan, disappeared.

Immediately after CCB conducted capital verification, fatal problems emerged in the brick kiln...

This made Liu Danian suspect that Yu Yang and Village Chief Yu were colluding to stage a self-torture drama to trap him to death.

Most importantly, the news had spread to the city branch, causing many people to talk about it privately and making him a laughing stock.

How can you not be angry?
