Chapter 1594 Changes in Hometown

Returning to Yangjia Village, I felt that my hometown had changed a lot even though I had only been away for a year.

Along the way, many fields were no longer planted with wheat, a winter crop, but with perennial herbs.

Especially after some farmers tasted the sweetness of selling herbs, especially perennial herbs, the older they are, the more valuable they are. Now many farmers have started to plant them.

Leaving two acres of land at home to plant herbs that need years to buy the price is considered a fixed deposit.

Whether the other fields are planted with crops or other annual herbs, they are enough for one person in the family to spend for a year. So this investment is still very cost-effective.

The Chinese herbal medicine trading market that has been slowly formed by planting Chinese herbal medicines has brought a lot of benefits to the local economy.

When the economy is good, the government began to organize road construction. Now, not only the roads in Yangjia Village, but also many nearby villages have asphalt roads.

Yang Dongxu can't remember when the road construction policy of connecting every village in the previous life came down. Anyway, now the villages in the entire Wuli Township are basically connected by roads.

In addition to road construction, Wuli Township is also a new rural area that the city focuses on. This is true whether it is the construction of houses or the surrounding landscape.

And compared to other places that are stereotyped with green belts on both sides of the road, in the green belts, either flowers are planted or landscape trees such as Evergreen are planted.

The things planted on both sides of the road in Wuli Township are very unique, all of them are locust trees.

And the fields on both sides of the road are uniformly planned to be planted with rapeseed before the New Year. In this way, after the beginning of spring, the rapeseed flowers will bloom first, and after the rapeseed flowers fade, the locust trees will begin to bloom.

After the locust trees have no flowers, some Chinese herbal medicines such as peonies in the farmland inside begin to bloom.

In short, from the beginning of spring to late autumn, all kinds of flowers can be seen everywhere in Wuli Township. Even when it frosts in late autumn, you can see golden chrysanthemums. Because chrysanthemums are also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, many farmers grow them.

With good scenery and various flowers, the township gradually began to attract many tourists from the city, which added another income to the farmers.

At the same time, there are more flowers and more people releasing bees. The herb honey produced in Wuli Township is now famous far and wide.

Especially the honey collected when many Chinese herbal medicines bloom from summer to late autumn is also called Chinese herbal honey. It is said that the nutritional value and nourishing and beauty effects are very high.

The price is more than twice as expensive as ordinary honey, but it is still in short supply.

In addition to honey, various rural specialties are also very popular. Even eggs and duck eggs at home are also the objects that tourists are vying to buy.

There are even many rural people who have their own small vegetable gardens, which were originally not enough for the family to eat. As a result, when the number of tourists gradually increased, the small vegetable gardens began to be insufficient.

Tourists who are close to them like to buy a native chicken, get a few pounds of eggs, and take some freshly picked vegetables away before leaving.

This adds another income to farmers.

In addition, the biggest change is that the village held a meeting to approve a piece of land to build a homestay on the market in Yangjia Village.

In this era when everyone is still scrambling to go to big cities to see high-rise buildings as a tourist, promoting homestays that recall the bitterness and sweetness of the past is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times.

Moreover, this advanced tourism project is more popular than expected.

"What did you suggest?"

Not only a piece of land at the west end of the street was specially approved for B&B, but now the whole Yangjia Village is undergoing renovation, and many have even started trial operation during the summer vacation. Each family will more or less set aside one or two rooms for B&B.

Not only Yangjia Village, but even the entire Wuli Township is carrying out this project. If there is no support behind such a big move, it will not be carried out at all.

And the person who took the initiative to support it must be none other than Zhou Ya, because only the Yang family has this prestige in the ten or eight villages.

At the same time, any suggestions made by the Yang family will not only be passed unanimously in Yangjia Village, but even if they are applied to the town, they will be approved quickly in the city.

"I get inspiration from my dad occasionally sighing about his life during the labor reform. In addition to people like my dad who were sent to the countryside for reform, there were also a large number of educated youth who went to the countryside.

Although some of these people are old now, most of them are in their prime and have free time. These people have money and have time to relax occasionally. They can be targeted customers for homestay tourism."

"Aren't they all in Wuli Township? Even if they are reminiscing about the past, they should go to the place where they went to the countryside. It's impossible for them to all go to Wuli Township, right?" Yang Dongxu still looked puzzled.

"The easiest way to reminisce about the past life is to go back to the place where you went to the countryside.

But it's just a look. After all, the rural areas across the country are still very poor. There are no roads in many places, let alone rural life.

If you stay in such a place for a few days to find the familiarity in your memory, it's okay. If you live there for a long time, or go there several times a year, it's impossible.

Even if you go there once, you can keep it for three to five years, or even go back once in your life, and go back before you die at most.

After all, it's okay for people to suffer in the subconscious when they are still in the novelty stage, but no one will like it if they persist for a long time." Zhou Ya said with a smile.

"So the precise customers of the homestay in Wuli Township are those who want to experience rural life again, but don't want to suffer all the time?" Yang Dongxu understood.

To sum up, everyone really misses the hard days in the past and yearns for rural life.

But no one likes to endure hardship once the novelty wears off, so rural tourism in Wuli Township was specially prepared for these people.

Come to live in Wuli Township and live in a B&B to taste rural life, but this kind of rural life is not the rural life of eating cornbread.

It is a rural life of chickens, ducks and fish, getting up in the morning listening to the crowing of roosters, and breathing the air with the smell of crops. Wandering in the fields.

At noon, we sit under the shade of trees and eat popsicles. In the evening, retail friends gather together to eat the big drumsticks of local chickens. In short, everyone comes to experience rural life. The main purpose is to relax and enjoy.

It’s not about carrying a hoe and going to work in the fields before dawn to make you look ugly.

Coming to Wuli Village, the transportation is extremely convenient, not to mention the scenery.

In order to protect the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, let alone Wuli Township now, looking at this area of ​​several connected townships, there is not even a chemical factory.

Drill a well directly, and the water from the well can be drank directly.

Although there are no cultural monuments, there is a profound Chinese herbal medicine culture.

With the original style and landscape of the countryside and the convenience and comfort of modern life, what better place to experience rural life than here?

"How much is the total investment?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.

Linking several B&B tourism projects in towns and villages, this investment is not a small amount. Not to mention road construction alone, it is impossible to get the full approval from above.

Part of the above-mentioned subsidies, part of investment, and part of the funds raised by rural farmers themselves are the best way to quickly build roads.

Just wait for the money to be approved for road construction, and it won't be your turn until dawn.

"I don't know the specifics. Fuzhen negotiated directly with the city in the name of Sanwan Travel Agency. They said this was just a pilot and if it succeeded, they would choose other suitable places to replicate it.

After all, the plain scenery here is relatively simple. If it succeeds here, you can try it in mountain villages, seaside, or other places with different terrains and scenery such as the desert next door.

This is one of Fuzhen’s major tourism investment projects in the next five years after opening up foreign tourism routes. The name is rural tour.

The first batch of target customers are the educated youth who have gone to the countryside, and the second batch of customers are concentrated in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, who are rich people who are not lonely and yearn for rural life.

There are also plans for the third and fourth batch of target customers, but that is too far away in five years. So for the time being, we’ll lock in the first two target customers, and we’ll basically be successful. "

"Fu Zhen never told me about this." Yang Dongxu said with some confusion.

"This is my first shot after giving birth to a child. Maybe I want to give you a surprise. Wouldn't you be surprised to see this scene when you come back?" Zhou Ya said with a smile.

"It's indeed quite unexpected." Yang Dongxu nodded, and then said with some worry, "The plain area is densely populated, and rural tourism involving so many villages is not easy to coordinate."

Don't always think that farmers are all honest and simple. There are honest and simple farmers, and there are not a few who curse for a little bit of land.

Especially when it comes to money, everyone has Xiao Jiujiu in their heart, and it is easy to cause conflicts over who has more and who has less.

"I don't know about other places, but here in our area, things like this can be easily solved."

Hearing what Zhou Ya said, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded.

It's not his fault, the old Yang family in this far away country still has a little face. Even if there is any conflict, you won't blush and you can sit down and talk.

As for those who are secretly jealous and cause trouble, no one really has the courage to do so. Even if he had the courage, people from the same village could break his spine without the Yang family taking action.

From raising pigs and vegetables in greenhouses at the beginning, to borrowing money to help people buy trucks and sports cars, to growing various Chinese herbal medicines in recent years.

The great improvement in the lives of farmers in the entire Wuli Township, and even the entire Chengwang City, is closely related to the guidance of the Yang family.

Therefore, it is absolutely easy to say a word to the Yang family in Shili and Baxiang. If you ask for something, everyone will be willing to follow the Yang family.

What's more, this time the Yang family is not taking them to rebel, but to further improve their lives. Only a sick person would be unwilling to do a good project that can make money at home.

As for deliberately causing trouble, all fools know that if they follow the Yang family, they will get something to eat.

"Mom has packed up the houses on the street and is preparing to open a store?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.

The Yang family's shop has not been open for many years, and the houses on the street are usually inhabited. The stores facing the street are usually filled with sundries and other things.

When he came back today, he saw that the store on the first floor had been cleaned up. He thought it was his mother doing a year-end cleaning and putting things in their proper places. But now it seems that things are not that simple.

"My mother said that if tourists really start to come, our store is in such a good location, and it would be a pity not to sell something. So we packed up the store on the first floor and prepared to renovate it."

"What are you going to buy? My parents are busy with the pig farm and the fields, so they don't have time to look at the store, right?"

"Selling mobile phones? We will set up a phone card processing office and payment office for Hua Xia Telecom. Then we will see whose daughter in the village or neighboring village is willing to let her come to work and pay wages. We don't have to have parents working all day long. Watch."

"Great, why didn't I think of this?" Yang Dongxu clapped his hands, feeling that it would be good to open a mobile phone store.

Not only is it a phone card and payment office for China Telecom, but it can also integrate the broadband service office.

Anyway, whether it is mobile phones, China Telecom phone cards, or China Telecom broadband, they are all his own company. It's not a matter of minutes to open a small branch below, and the franchise fee is saved.

"You are busy all day long, and your business is always tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Naturally, you don't look down on this little money." Zhuo Qing'er, who passed by, curled her lips.

"Did I provoke you?" Yang Dongxu turned his head and looked at the other person speechlessly.

"I just don't like you, so what?" Zhuo Qing'er snorted coldly, then reached out to pull Zhou Ya, "Let's go, Sister Zhou Ya, we have to wash clothes, wash vegetables and cook.

Unlike someone who only comes back once or twice a year, and every time he comes back, he acts like a boss and does nothing."

This.

Yang Dongxu scratched his head, there was no way to refute this. After he returned home, he did act like a big boss. There was not much farm work in winter.

The housework, laundry and cooking were done by his mother, Zhou Ya, Aunt Hua and Aunt Cui. He was not needed at all.

So every time he returned home, he either wandered around or drank with Xiao Wu and a few others every now and then. In the past, he had to take care of little Wen Chen.

Now his son is so old that he doesn't need to look after him at all. This is the only thing he can do. What else can he do but be a big boss?
