Chapter 115 [Breaking Legs From Repairing Bridges and Roads]

This five-village joint meeting was really a shameless one. The three villages combined are not much weaker than the Singh family or the Shah family. The bad thing is that the three villages are not united. One of them is arrogant and conceited. Who can unite with you?

The other two villages are feuds. The two sides have been fighting for decades. It's not that they kill your servants today, or that they kill your villagers tomorrow. The two families are already in a situation of life and death. How can they unite and face the outside world together? So the three villages are like a pile of loose sand. Such loose sand is the easiest to collect. If you defeat them one by one, they will all be lambs to be slaughtered.

The reason why Bel Singh saw the nature of the three villages clearly was that he took such a shameless measure to exclude the three villages. He and his father-in-law's two families built roads and collected tolls, which was also a relatively stable income. The people in the other three villages knew that they would suffer losses, but what could you do? Are you opponents?

Now that they have been ordered to leave, they will lose all their remaining face if they stay here. There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides. The landlords in these villages cannot mortgage their land, which they regard as their life, to the bank in exchange for loans, and then invest in the construction of bridges and roads.

If you don't pay and work, then building bridges and roads has nothing to do with you. The two sides are completely at odds, and in the end, it can only be left unresolved. They can only suffer in silence. Then someone will ask, if a landowner shows his courage and mortgages his land in exchange for a large amount of funds to build bridges and roads, what will Bel Singh do? Will he accept it?

Why doesn't Singh accept it? Isn't it a good thing that someone invests? Each of them has such courage, and they are not afraid to go to the bank to borrow money to invest in Bel Singh. In the end, they are the ones who suffer. Why? Because there are only five large villages and a dozen small villages within a few dozen kilometers around the Baghar Valley.

The total population is only about 50,000 to 60,000 people. Building a road and bridge to the town is only used by these people. Everyone is involved in the construction of bridges and roads. Who will you charge after they are built? If you also collect tolls, how will you repay the bank's loan?

Relying on the limited output on the land to repay the loan of tens of millions of rupees is too naive? Their participation in bridge and road construction is equivalent to choosing bankruptcy. These people are bankrupt, and the bridges and roads that cost so much money and manpower are not all included in the Singh family's property.

If Bel Singh is bold, he can use the relationship of the mayor to pressure the bank to lend some money. When these lands that have been confiscated are auctioned at the bank, Bel Singh will use the loan from the bank to auction the land and buy it back. Whether it is rented out or important to yourself, it is a stable income point every year. Is there anything better than this?

So these villages are destined to lose, and lose very thoroughly. Building roads is a loss, and not building roads is also a loss. This is the trap set by Bel Singh. You have to drill into it even though you know it is a trap. This is forced by the situation, not by human will.

It's cruel enough, this is called "no ruthlessness, no heroism". For their own interests, they don't care about your life or death. It's not their own country. What do you think? After those angry landowners were sent away, the entire Singh family and the entire Lagar Valley were in a cheering atmosphere.

These people have followed their family for hundreds of years, and they are loyal. Don't look at them as usually not showing off. In fact, if there is really an invasion by foreign enemies, these untouchables will unite around the Singh family and face the outside world together. In addition, Master Singh has explained it to everyone. When the bridge and road construction projects are underway, people in the village will be asked to participate in this work.

This is also a good opportunity to make extra money. In addition, if the villagers are more flexible, they can also do some small businesses on the bridge and road construction sites. For example, selling water, popsicles, fruits, or gloves, hats and other equipment is also a good business.

These profitable businesses are allocated to people in the two villages. If you are willing to make money, go to the construction site to work. If you don't want to make money, you can do some small business on the construction site. It's up to you. Such a good thing, how can everyone not be happy? Now everyone is so happy.

That night, there was a good time. Even the 50-year-old father-in-law and the 23-year-old brother-in-law in their prime had to admire their son-in-law and brother-in-law for being so tough. And this is also an open conspiracy, so you can see clearly that this is an open conspiracy that you have to get into.

How can a 15-year-old boy do this? How can you not admire it? Their father-in-law and brother-in-law have lived in vain. Fortunately, this is their own family. No good thing will forget the Shah family. This is enough. The marriage of the two families is a fact that cannot be changed in a lifetime.

If you unite, both will benefit, and if you separate, both will suffer. Everyone knows that it is most important to make money together and build good relationships. After dinner, drinking and resting, the next morning, 15-year-old Bel Singh divided the work for everyone. His old housekeeper Jamal and his brother-in-law went to Udaipur to hire surveying personnel.

The bridge design company came to the site to survey the topography between Lagar Village and Sinjar Town, and then designed the direction of the road, the construction of the bridge, and other matters. The father-in-law is old and particularly obese, so it is not convenient for him to move. If you make him sick, will Lina spare you? So the father-in-law's job is very simple.

That is to integrate the property of the Shah family and prepare to invest in bridges and roads, and his own task is the most important. Bel Singh's human mule Brooke hurried to the town and visited the mayor that night. The two are already de facto allies, and there is nothing they can't say.

Speaking of building bridges and roads, this is also a political achievement that is beneficial to the mayor's attempt to develop, not to mention that every year the Indian Congress allocates a large amount of infrastructure funds. This is why Indian villages are so backward, because those grassroots leaders are too greedy, and the funds have been exploited layer by layer. When the first-line leadership agencies get the money, there is not much money left, so who would consider infrastructure construction.

But this time is different. This time, Belsinger plans to build bridges and roads himself, and he is an ally of the mayor. This is another good career achievement. The mayor has to help anyway. He should hold a meeting with the leaders of the town to make them less greedy. It is also a good thing for the town leaders to allocate some of these infrastructure funds to Belsinger to build bridges and roads.

It is impossible for others to get this infrastructure fund, but Belsinger can get it, and the proportion he gets is quite good. In 2000, there were still 30 million rupees left in the infrastructure funds, and in 2001, there were still 120 million rupees of infrastructure funds that were not divided.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

Even if half of it is taken out to Belsinger to build bridges and roads, it is about 100 million rupees. This is half of the funds for building bridges and roads. Moreover, although the officials in the town eat less, they still eat meat. Both sides are happy, so why not do it.
