Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 310 Let him open the fishing spot, then trap him to death?

Are soft-shelled turtles easy to catch?
Shen Yu and the others were undoubtedly skilled fishermen, after all, they were all seasoned anglers.

Of course, it's not that great.

Especially after using the earthworms raised by Xu Yue as bait, his fishing skills have obviously deteriorated.

Even though they often go fishing in remote river areas.

When the bait is too good, the skill requirements for fishing naturally decrease significantly.

This was their first time fishing for soft-shelled turtles, and they were using earthworms, but the results were still very promising.

However, compared to fishing for eels, loaches, and crayfish, it naturally has a less rich history.

That might make it more fun.

Shen Yu and the others got really into fishing.

In the end, we had to put some back.

Can’t finish it.

The soft-shelled turtle tastes quite good.

Everyone who tried it said it was good.

Whether it's braised, steamed, or used in soup.

Of course, Xu Yue's family has plenty of ingredients, so they don't just eat soft-shelled turtles.

There are also crayfish, eels, loaches, and some other things.

Very rich.

The Xu family usually eats quite well, and if they have guests, then of course they eat even better.

They were very hospitable.

Of course, this period is much better than before.

Li Xiurong was worried that Zhang Ruoxi's baby wasn't getting enough nutrition, so she tried all sorts of ways to cook delicious meals for her.

She even learned about pregnancy meal plans from her phone.

If pregnancy is like this, then it goes without saying that it will be even worse during postpartum confinement.

Zhang Ruoxi was also worried that she might gain weight.

Xu Yue felt that he was the one who should be worried.

When his wife was in postpartum confinement, it wasn't her who gained weight, but her husband.

This is definitely not an isolated case, but rather a very common one.

After meeting up with Shen Yu and others, Xu Yue's life has returned to normal.

The next day, Shen Yu and the others went to work in the fields and began their cultivation.

But Tian Yizhi arrived.

“It seems someone wants to take action against the fishing grounds in Taoyuan Village,” Tian Yizhi said. “Some people in the prefecture have suggested that opening fishing grounds in natural river areas may have an impact on the local ecological environment.”

Xu Yue frowned upon hearing this.

The fishing grounds in Taoyuan Village are fishing grounds set up in the natural river basin.

Xu Yue didn't know if there were any other fishing spots like this in Shuzhou, but if he had to say which one was the most famous, it would naturally be Taoyuan Village.

It's not just in Shuzhou, it's quite well-known throughout the country.

Besides Wan Ling and others, many fishing bloggers also came to record videos.

“This matter has now generated a kind of public opinion online,” Tian Yizhi said. “It’s very targeted.”

Who is it targeting?
This goes without saying.

“The fishing grounds are nothing to the farm,” Xu Yue said. “It should be referring to the fishing grounds, not the farm. You don’t mean it’s those people from the Gaogang Village reservoir, do you?”

Did you guess wrong?
Those guys weren't tomb raiders; they had connections.

They opened a fishing spot and then shut down the fishing spot in Taoyuan Village.

Will those fishermen flock to Gaogang Village?
“If the fishing grounds are closed, we’ll lose this recreational activity,” Tian Yizhi said. “The guesthouses and farmhouses there will also be affected to some extent.”

That fishing spot did indeed attract quite a few people.

Many anglers bring their wives and children to fish.

The fisherman fishes, while his wife and children watch the flowers.

Once the tourist area in the mountains opens, business here will definitely improve.

"Investigate whether it was done by the group from Gaogang Village."

Xu Yue spoke up.

If that's true, then Xu Yue will show them what it means for even a powerful dragon to be unable to suppress a local snake.

Besides, he's not a snake.

"it is good!"

Tian Yizi nodded.

All the legal documents and permits for the fishing grounds are complete.

Moreover, it has received strong support from the town, district, and city governments.

The current top official of Gong'an City even came to support him back then.

But the pressure is coming from the state.

Tian Yizhi didn't know if the city could withstand the pressure.

Can fishing grounds be opened in natural river areas?
It's definitely possible.

However, some limitations are inevitable.

For example, during fishing ban periods.

Fishing is allowed at Taoyuan Village Fishing Ground even during the closed season.

This has attracted many anglers who enjoy wild fishing.

“They also want to rent land around the reservoir,” Tian Yizhi said. “They’ve raised the price. Also, it seems they’re planning to develop the land near the dam.”

Once the land is rented, it's naturally used for growing crops and medicinal herbs.

If you're building a bed and breakfast or a farm stay, then renting it out is definitely not an option.

If they pursue development, they could very well seize those lands from the farms.

As for why they needed to rent land around the reservoir, it was clearly to imitate Huashan in Taoyuan Village.

Could I have really guessed wrong?

Those people weren't tomb raiders?

who cares.

This matter really isn't worth Xu Yue's personal attention.

After the start of the new year, the flowers in Taoyuan Village gradually bloomed.

More and more tourists are coming to the village.

Fishing grounds, farmhouses, and guesthouses are also doing better and better.

The village naturally became more and more lively.

Zhang Ruoxi's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Yun is also showing signs of pregnancy.

However, she is still far inferior to Zhang Ruoxi.

Xu Yue also started getting busy.

He was busy leading Guo Tianyou and the others to set up formations for the two villages over there.

The first formation deployed was the forward village formation.

As for Gaogang Village, there are still some things that haven't been agreed upon.

Villagers in some areas near the dam are threatening to break their contracts.

Building houses for the reservoir is clearly more cost-effective than renting it to a farm.

This matter caused quite a stir.

Tian Yizhi seemed to have anticipated this, so he repaired the road to Qianyan Village first.

The project in Gaogang Village was halted as soon as it started.

"Oh, is the leader coming to the countryside for an inspection?"

Xu Yue looked at Yin Xue with some surprise. He obviously did not expect to meet Yin Xue in Qianyan Village.

When old friends meet, they can't help but make a joke.

Actually, he wanted to gossip a bit more.

When Wang Haolin and the others got together before, Xu Yue couldn't help but ask a gossipy question, which Wang Haolin avoided.

His gossipy nature grew even stronger.

Unfortunately, their needs were not met.

"Looking for you!"

Yin Xue got straight to the point.

"What do you want?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "You're not really planning to prepare a pig's head for me, are you?"

You're the pig-headed one!

Yin Xue replied irritably, but then a fleeting look of embarrassment crossed her face as she remembered there were people nearby.

"About the situation in Gaogang Village," Yin Xue said bluntly. "I'd like to hear your thoughts."

“I don’t have any ideas,” Xu Yue said, shaking his head. “You should ask Gaogang Village what they think. They said they’d reached an agreement with the contractor about the reservoir, but what happened? Now some villagers are threatening to break the contract. How are you expecting the farm to operate?”

The work in Gaogang Village has been suspended.

Xu Yue was naturally aware of this matter.

However, I have no objections.

The land lease contract has been signed, and even the rent has been paid.

The lease is for twenty years.

Five hundred yuan per mu, that's ten thousand yuan in twenty years. Gaogang Village doesn't have as much farmland as Taoyuan Village because of that big reservoir.

Of course, there are fewer villagers than in Taoyuan Village.

It's even much smaller than the villages along the way.

The farm has already paid millions in rent alone.

Of course, a few million is nothing to a farm.

But Xu Yue didn't want to be taken advantage of.
He certainly wouldn't throw away those millions.

The reason for the work stoppage was simply to express dissatisfaction.

As long as it doesn't delay spring planting, there's no problem.

It's nothing to worry about if it takes a while.

I rented it for twenty years, and I can earn it back in less than a year.

Stopping him for a year or two is not a good thing.

“That’s only a minority!” Yin Xue said. “You’ve already paid the rent, you can’t just let those fields lie fallow, can you?”

With fields abandoned, farms naturally suffer losses.

But that loss is nothing.

But what about the villagers of Gaogang Village?

That also results in losses.

A monthly salary of several thousand.

If the fields are left uncultivated, then naturally no one will hire anyone.

Naturally, no jobs would be arranged for the villagers of Gaogang Village.

“So what if the land is abandoned?” Xu Yue said. “There are so many villages in Gong’an City. The farm doesn’t necessarily have to rent land from Gaogang Village. Besides, if they can break the contract, why can’t my farm do the same?”

It's not impossible for the farm to break the contract.

Throughout the signing process, the village committee of Gaogang Village engaged in deception.

Especially regarding the reservoir issue.

Moreover, if a lawsuit were to actually break out, the farm would have an overwhelming advantage.

The contract was biased towards the farm.

Breach of contract?

Yin Xue frowned; this was what she was most worried about.

The villagers were simply left unemployed.

But if the contract is breached, the rent must be refunded.

The key is that the comparison makes it even more painful.

I reckon the entire village has been blacklisted by Taoyuan Farm.

No matter how much Taoyuan Farm expands in the future, it will have nothing to do with Gaogang Village.

Thinking about the families in Taoyuan Village who broke their contracts, Yin Xue didn't think her worries were unnecessary.

"We're already working with the village committees that wanted to break their contracts," Yin Xue said. "As for the reservoir..."

"Who are those people?" Xu Yue asked. "It seems someone in the prefecture is targeting the fishing grounds in Taoyuan Village. Is it them?"

“The contractor He Ziran used to be from Gong’an City and was in the aquatic products business,” Yin Xue said. “However, he found a partner in Jincheng named Jin Ming. That person has some connections in the state’s resource bureau and environmental protection bureau.”

"I thought it was a group of tomb raiders eyeing the ancient tombs near the reservoir!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue chuckled to himself.

Since Yin Xue was able to tell her origins, she probably wasn't a tomb raider.

It seems they want to use their connections to ruin the fishing grounds in Taoyuan Village and then steal the visitors away from there.

So confident?

Isn't this underestimating Taoyuan's rural area?

Or perhaps it's someone you have a connection with, but the connection isn't as strong as you might imagine.

If they truly had extremely close ties, they probably wouldn't be foolish enough to cause trouble for Xu Yue.

"Is there an ancient tomb in this reservoir?"

Yin Xue was somewhat surprised when she heard this.

If there really is an ancient tomb, and if it is large in scale, then the tourism value of this reservoir will definitely be elevated to a higher level.

Of course, if the scale is small, then it has little value.

"Yes!" Xu Yue said, "It's already been reported, and Professor Wang should be bringing his team over in a while."

Yin Xue naturally had no doubt about Xu Yue's words.

As for why Xu Yue knew there was an ancient tomb in the reservoir?

He knew a little bit about it too.

Xu Yue might have discerned this from the differences in the earth's energy.

Although she was a martial arts practitioner, she still knew a bit about the affairs of the martial arts world.

Besides, Xu Yue now has two Grand Feng Shui Masters of the Third Realm under his command, so finding the dragon vein and locating the acupoint shouldn't be too difficult for him, right?
“Jin Ming’s attempt to take action against the Taoyuan Village fishing grounds will likely fail,” Yin Xue said. “His methods are useless; the city will definitely be able to withstand the pressure. Once he fails, the value of developing the fishing grounds here will be greatly reduced, and Jin Ming will probably back down.”

If Jin Ming, who has connections, were to step down, He Ziran would naturally not be able to hold on any longer.

He won't succeed.

“We’ll see!” Xu Yue said. “Actually, I don’t really mind if he opens that fishing pond.”

Why?

Yin Xue looked at Xu Yue with some suspicion.

Is he trying to pick peaches?
After the fishing grounds open and the guesthouses and farmhouses are built, then we can go and pick up the ready-made ones?
Could Xu Yue prevent that fishing ground from opening?

can!
Putting everything else aside, taking his friends fishing at the reservoir would bankrupt Jin Ming and his gang.

Yin Xue doesn't fish much, but she has used Xu Yue's earthworms to fish before.

It's simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

You don't need any fishing skills to catch a lot.

Successfully landing on the shore is no big deal.

Yin Xue was paying some attention.

Many anglers took the earthworms from Taoyuan Village to other fishing ground owners to bribe them.

Every single one is a hit!

Then, many fishing spots explicitly prohibit the use of earthworms from Taoyuan Village.

Especially in Shuzhou.

It also exists in other parts of the country.

After all, there are many anglers who travel all over the country.

The earthworms from Taoyuan Village are absolutely famous in the fishing community.

It's not to say that everyone knows it, but it's pretty much true.

Why does Taoyuan Village fishing ground attract anglers from all over the country?

Many of them came specifically for the earthworms.

Out-of-town anglers come to the fishing spot in Taoyuan Village, and when they leave, they don't take fish with them, but earthworms.

And it wasn't just one or two boxes, but many.

Two hundred yuan a box!

Those fishermen are incredibly rich.

Ok!

I reckon many anglers made their money back using those earthworms.

Of course, most anglers buy earthworms not to make money, but to enjoy the fun of fishing.

What's the fun in fishing?

Some people think it's the feeling of catching a big fish, while others think it's the feeling of catching a continuous rod.
The earthworms in Taoyuan Village can satisfy this need.

“If the fishing spot in Taoyuan Village doesn’t close, the one in Gaogang Village might not continue,” Yin Xue said. “There’s no need to deal with the situation in Gaogang Village.”

“Go talk to Lao Tian about this,” Xu Yue said. “You know I don’t get involved in these matters.”

Xu Yue could actually tell that Yin Xue was afraid the farm would break the contract.

There are only a few villages left in Xingdong Town.

She was also worried that Xu Yue would expand towards the district rather than towards other villages in Xingdong Town.

Although there's practically no doubt that she'll be transferred to the district level.

But she still wanted to make the other villages in Xingdong Town rich before she got promoted.

How to get rich?
Haven't the other villages already set an example?
Especially Taoyuan Village.

Taoyuan rural area can help all villages become prosperous.

Yin Xue left, and Xu Yue didn't know whether she went to find Tian Yizhi.

He went to see how Guo Tianyou and the others had set up their formation.

We'll naturally go back for lunch.

On his way back, Xu Yue encountered Hu Hai and Mu Xiaoyan.

The two of them took a break from their busy schedules and went to see the peach blossoms.

However, the peach blossoms are not yet in full bloom, but they are still worth seeing.

"Brother Hu, do you know Jin Ming?"

Xu Yue suddenly asked a question.

Both Hu Hai and Mu Xiaoyan have good backgrounds and extensive connections in Jincheng.

"Yes, I know him, but we don't get along!" Hu Hai asked, somewhat surprised. "Why are you asking about him?"
