Chapter 38 The Poor Innocent Death 22

"I have also asked the old professor to help review this plan. Although there are still many flaws, the old professor said it is feasible. We can start with a small amount of breeding, which is like crossing the river by feeling the stones. Once the technology is proficient, we can expand it little by little."

After Li Ankang finished speaking, his spirits visibly weakened: "But all this is based on money. I also know that no matter how good and feasible my plan is, without money, everything is just empty talk."

"But I want to try. I don't believe that our village will always be so poor." After saying these two sentences, Li Ankang became energetic again, as if he had endless energy and was full of fighting spirit.

"You're right. How do you know if it works if you don't try? Give me the money, and you just need to improve your plan bit by bit." In Qu Nannan's view, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a big deal.

This is also due to the difference in Qu Nannan’s living environment, which has caused her to have different ideas from her original self.

Li Ankang shook his head: "The village belongs to everyone. We can't let you pay alone. It's not good to develop the mentality of everyone sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor. There are ways to deal with money and ways to deal with poverty. I'm still young, so we can just take it slow."

Qu Nannan admired this seemingly ordinary young man very much. This kind of sentiment and belief was something she did not have.

"But I won't be polite with you about the money for building roads and schools. These two are the most important. The rest can come later, but these two are not allowed."

Qu Nannan nodded generously: "Okay, I will cooperate with your brother Kangzi."

"By the way, Brother Kangzi, our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Have you ever thought about trying your best in the mountains? I remember hearing about the origin of our village's name when I was a child. Do you still remember the small peach forest on the mountain?"

"You mean planting peach trees?" How could he not know? The children in their village grew up listening to those stories.

"Yes, our village has little arable land, and breeding requires a lot of food. Can the village afford it? Poultry raised in cages is not as economically valuable as free-range poultry. Why not make use of the mountains behind us? It can also save a lot of food."

"It takes a little longer for fruit trees to generate income, but once they start generating income, it will be a long-term income. I can't say anything about other things in our village, but the taste of the peaches is hard to find outside. This is our advantage."

"When the mountains and plains are covered with peach blossoms, we can also take advantage of the city dwellers' love of natural scenery for vacations and build a small resort. When tourists come, will the villagers still have to worry about their income?"

"The scenery in our village is beautiful, and it's all natural and pollution-free. In the past, the road was not good and no one wanted to come here. But as long as the road is repaired, why worry about no one coming here to fish and eat farm meals?"

The more Li Ankang listened, the brighter his eyes became. He had thought about all this before, but had to cut back due to funding issues. He chose breeding, which had the shortest return period, and started with it.

"But we don't have that much money to make an initial investment. I've tried to get sponsorship, but it's very difficult. And I don't want to recruit people who wantonly destroy the environment to invest."

"We are poor, but we cannot exchange the beautiful scenery of our hometown for money. I just want our grandchildren to grow up and see the green mountains and clear waters of our hometown instead of the polluted turbid air."

"To achieve what you said, the whole village will have to make a big move. Even if the villagers support it, they will not be able to do it." If the villagers had money, there would not be only the elderly, the weak, women and children left.

"Brother Kangzi, do you think this is okay? You can discuss it with the villagers. I can lend you money first, and you can pay me back slowly after you make some profit."

"You have to think carefully. Although the people in our village will not default on the money, they can't pay it back in the short term. Moreover, if you make a big move, the investment will not be a small amount. Do you really have that much money?"

If we really do what Qu Nannan wants, then the astronomical figure for road construction will be a small part of the story.

"Of course I don't have that much money, but Brother Kangzi, have you forgotten that we can still take out loans? Although we may feel that we are in debt, the Taoziwu built in this way will completely belong to the villagers and will not have anything to do with capital."

As long as it has nothing to do with capital, no matter how well Taoziwu develops in the future, it will not be controlled by anyone, and this piece of landscape will always belong to the villagers of Taoziwu.

Li Zikang scratched his head: "It's not that I haven't thought about taking out a loan, but the amount is too large and I'm afraid it will become a burden to the villagers."

"I remember there was a saying on the Internet that the bolder you are, the more productive you will be. What we are saying is quite lively. Why don't you just let the villagers participate? Wouldn't it be better if the villagers themselves could decide whether to do it or not, and whether it will succeed or not?"

"No matter what the matter is, if everyone works together, the effect will definitely be greater than one plus one equals two. Besides, I didn't say that we have to do it in a earth-shattering way all at once. We still have to do it step by step."

"If it really doesn't work, just follow your plan and invest a little bit of the money you make. Although it will take a little longer, it's not hopeless."

Grandpa Xun and the old village chief had been listening silently. Hearing this, Grandpa Xun clapped his hands and said, "Nannan is right. These things still need the consent of the villagers. Why don't you hold a meeting first to get the villagers' opinions."

Li Ankang nodded. Anyway, the most difficult step has been taken. As long as the road is repaired and the school is built, the rest can be done slowly.

These things can't be rushed, and Li Ankang didn't say anything more: "Is the car at the door yours?"

Qu Nannan nodded: "I thought I would not leave after I came back. It would be more convenient to go out for shopping in the future with a car. Brother Kangzi, if you have trouble with money, come to me. I can only talk about these things, but I don't understand other things."

Li Ankang shook his head: "Nannan, thank you for your selfless contribution, but the construction of the village still depends on the villagers themselves. How can everything be put on you alone? Just go and do your own thing. Brother Kangzi will not be polite to you if you have any difficulties."

"Okay, I just got back today. I'll come over to help you after I've settled myself. Grandpa Village Chief, Grandma Village Chief, I'm going to go to Grandma's place first to look for Grandpa. I'll come over to see you after I've settled myself."

"Okay, okay, go over there quickly. It would be good if you could go and keep Grandma company. Grandma lives alone and she's lonely. It would be more lively if there were more people around."
