The little wolf cub has been completely integrated into the farm community.

Maybe it thinks it is just a dog, no different from Xiao Hei and the others.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang went out to check the situation on the farm.

Chen Juan made some fruit tea and shared it with the employees.

With Niu Zhuang and Chen Juan managing the logistics, life on the farm is indeed more varied.

Logistics is still important. The principle of preparing food and fodder before troops move forward applies everywhere.

Xu Yang has nothing to do every day, but his employees are still very busy.

For example, when raising pigs and ducks, you have to shovel manure and clean the pens regularly.

In the greenhouse, we also have to weed, water, and look after the land outside.

The farm is well planned.

These two days it’s time to harvest peanuts again.

Xu Yang came to the peanut field, grabbed the peanut seedlings with his hands, pulled up a few peanuts from the ground, and checked the situation.

The peanuts grown in his field are naturally good, big and plump, and you can tell they are good peanuts at first glance.

Part of these peanuts are sold to buyers, and part are taken to the market to sell.

There is no need to negotiate the price now.

His peanuts are still trustworthy.

Generally speaking, any farmer or rancher who runs his own media will definitely make his own brand of food and then promote it on short video platforms or sell it through live streaming.

But Xu Yang never does that.

If you turn on his live broadcast, you will never see a set of tables and chairs placed outdoors and him sitting at the table selling goods.

When the peanuts were ripe, Xu Yang picked up a bag of peanuts and prepared to go back to the village to give them to his parents.

The distance is short anyway.

He rides his motorcycle very conveniently.

When passing by the village entrance, I saw a man standing at the entrance. He was a little dirty, had an untidy beard, but had a childish look in his eyes.

This person was still grinning when he saw Xu Yang.

Xu Yang saw him and sighed softly.

Previously, when Xu Yang was broadcasting live in the village, he always avoided being captured on the live screen to prevent netizens from hurting him.

This person is the "village guardian" of the village.

Strangely enough, many villages have "village guards", who are rather pitiful people.

Some are born stupid, and some are not doing well.

There is always a need to balance the chi.

There are also some theories about the people guarding the village, but Xu Yang never believes them.

He felt sorry for the other person and gave him the whole bag of peanuts.

Occasionally Xu Yang would give the other party something, and the other party would accept it with a smile.

This village guard is a kind-hearted man who occasionally comes to Xu Yang's farm to help out and clean up some construction waste.

I can only say that it is a good connection.

Xu Yang had nothing to do, so he went back to the farm to rest.

When he was strolling in the evening, he saw two black bears appear not far from the farm.

Xu Yang was familiar with both black bears. One was a wild black bear that wanted to apply for a job on the farm, but had never been accepted.

The other black bear was the one that was lost from the circus before. Xu Yang took off its collar and the bear lived in the back mountain.

Because there were black bears in the mountains, the police didn't bother with it anymore.

This guy is totally free.

The two black bears lived together.

"Old Black, come visit me!"

Xu Yang saw the black bear and greeted it.

Lao Hei waved his bear paw at Xu Yang, very enthusiastic and expectant.

The circus black bear next to it also imitated it and waved.

These two guys are really smart.

Xu Yang went back and got them some big apples, then went out to feed them.

The two black bears were very well behaved. They sat on the ground and ate apples next to Xu Yang.

Although Xu Yang is not the boss of Changbai Mountain at the moment, he can be said to be the boss of the back mountain.

All the wild beasts are his little brothers.

It's okay to walk anywhere in the mountains.

Xu Yang looked at the two black bears and felt that they looked very much like the two generals Heng and Ha.

If you dress them in security uniforms and put on security hats, they will definitely look like two security guards.

"If I contract a forest, you two can be my security guards."

Xu Yang asked the two black bears.

The two black bears could only roughly understand what Xu Yang said and nodded happily.

Xu Yang plans to contract the front half of the back mountain.

It is not uncommon for them to contract half a mountain.

Especially for large ginseng growers, they contract a lot of mountains.

There are also some powerful bosses who go to other places to find good mountains and rivers, contract them, and grow ginseng.

When it comes to growing ginseng, the people here are really good.

Xu Yang had no idea of ​​growing ginseng. After all, forest ginseng was already a common sight here, being sold in truckloads.

The income from contracting a mountain is nothing more than two aspects, either planting or breeding.

There are free-range chickens, free-range pigs, and free-range geese.

Xu Yang discussed this matter with his employees.

At that time Wang Wu said:
"It's good to raise free-range chickens. Just graze them in the woods and scatter some feed every day. After three months, the chickens will be fat and plump."

Hearing his words, Marven shook his head, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"You think too simply."

Marvin told him.

"Are you thinking it's too simple?" Wang Wu was a little confused.

Xu Yang also knew the business and explained to him:
"If you really raise chickens in the woods, and lose three today and five tomorrow, by the time the chickens are fat, they might all be stolen overnight."

"We can't install surveillance cameras everywhere in the forest. We have to keep an eye on the farm all the time, not to mention the mountains and forests."

“So if you want to contract a mountain for breeding, you have to go to a remote location and fence off the breeding area.”

"This situation cannot be stopped. If you dare to raise it, others will dare to steal it."

After hearing Xu Yang's words, Wang Wu wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he said nothing.

Because he knew what Xu Yang said was true.

It would be strange if free-range chickens could survive in the mountains.

This has happened before.

Xu Yang said: "So, breeding is not allowed."

"Director, if we don't do breeding, then what's the point of contracting the mountain? Isn't it just a waste of money?"

Wang Wu said again.

Xu Yang responded: "Isn't there an open area in front of the mountain? It's all big slopes, so crops definitely can't be grown there."

"But you can plant trees, the kind that are made specifically for making disposable chopsticks."

"It grows very fast and can be cut very quickly. The wood quality is not good and cannot be used to make furniture. So we can only make chopsticks, straws, paper and the like."

"It's not a big problem to plant a forest."

Xu Yang's words surprised several people.

Everyone has never been exposed to this aspect, and there is only one question in my mind:
Will this work?

Contract a mountain area to plant trees?
How long will it take to get your money back?

In fact, Xu Yang really understood this industry.

Planting trees is entirely feasible.

Those trees grow very fast. If you have to say, it's no different from planting crops.

Harvest can be achieved every year.

You can make money then.

Moreover, the forest is quite large, so if you want to raise some wild animals, you can do so.

He is a real landlord.

In addition, ordinary people cannot steal trees.

Even if that tree was cut down, it would be difficult to transport it, and no one would go to the mountains to steal such a cheap tree.

If you have that much time, you might as well go into the woods and cut down some real trees.

Xu Yang does have an idea after all.

The employees had no opinions or suggestions on his ideas, they just admired him.

So, the next day, Xu Yang went to the local land department to discuss contracting a mountainous area.

"You want to contract the mountain, that's great."

The local government is also short of money. As for the mountain that Xu Yang mentioned, the front is bare and no one is willing to contract it.

It would be good to make more money, so there is no obstacle to this.

It's nothing more than negotiating the price.

Xu Yang also talked about the practical difficulties. The mountain is remote, the economic benefits are low, and the soil is not that fertile. If the rent is too high, he cannot afford it.

When the government does work, it always takes the money first.

Use future money to do today's work.

As long as the procedures are legal, the best thing to do is to make money first.

So, the land department communicated with Xu Yang for a few days and finally confirmed a 2000-year, -acre contract.

The price is not expensive, not much more expensive than his farm.

Xu Yang only rented an area in front of the mountains.

But the wonderful thing is that this area is the entrance to the back mountain.

This area is rented, so if anyone else wants to get into the back mountain, they have to take a long detour.

Moreover, there are leopards and black bears in this mountain, so generally no one comes in.

It is equivalent to Xu Yang contracting the entire mountain with very little money.

The cooperation discussions went smoothly.

He has been running around local government departments these days to discuss information.

Every day he carried his briefcase and asked Marven to take him to the city and county, and he made many trips there.

The system here is so efficient, not that fast.

When employees occasionally see Xu Yang going out, they will chat with him.

"The director has gone out to discuss matters again."

“It seems like they have really taken over the mountain.”

"This is a really big deal. They actually contracted a large mountain."

"The question is, can you make money by planting trees? Trees grow so slowly. How many years will it take for them to grow?"

"Isn't it the same with growing ginseng? It takes ten or twenty years to get a big income. This is a long-term investment. When the time comes, you will naturally make money."

Xu Yang is very capable in everyone's eyes.

Although he is lazy most of the time and likes to keep cats and play with dogs, no employee would think he is decadent.

On the contrary, everyone admired him very much.

A true boss is one who can live a colorful life.

For others, it is enough to just focus on the important things.

After a few days of hard work, Xu Yang successfully won the contract.

He began to think about planting trees.

By the way, he tricked the two black bears over and showed him the forest.

This time I was really included.

Two black bear security guards.

I hope they can complete their mission successfully. (End of this chapter)
