Chapter 116 Robbery
Dawei sat in the back, Lin Yunxing drove, and Zhao Kui sat in the front.
The car drove slowly and steadily toward Xiaotang Town.
Today, Dawei is going to conduct research in a village in Xiaotang Town.
Wu Maocai thought that Xiaotang Town was closer to the county seat and the transportation was relatively convenient; it was just a short drive off the national highway to the town.
Other towns are relatively remote. For example, Shangmin Town is adjacent to Wuxian County in Fujian Province, and it takes about an hour to get there from the county government.
To get to Shangmin County, you have to go through a very difficult mountain road, which locals call the Whirlwind Road. It is steep and winding, and accidents often happen there.
Wu Maocai chose Shangmin Town as his research location, and he had to be at the forefront, choosing the most difficult route.
"County Chief, should we notify the village committee?" Zhao Kui asked, noticing the somber atmosphere in the car.
"No need. A purely random survey is better. If you ask the village officials, they will make arrangements on their own, and the survey results may be distorted."
"You've thought of everything very thoroughly," Zhao Kui said earnestly.
Lin Yunxing just listened without saying a word.
Director Liu from the logistics department taught him many rules, and he wrote them all down in his notebook.
It's not easy to get this job.
Now, in his hometown of Dashi Village, Lin Lao Er is considered a prominent figure.
He got to drive the county magistrate's car, and many people envied him. They all said he knew how to network, had gained Dawei's favor, and had a respectable job.
The car exited the national highway and entered Xiaotang Town.
Once he arrived, David understood why hot spring resorts were being developed here.
After coming down from the national highway, it becomes a single-lane road, and the climb begins.
The road is so narrow that it's difficult for two cars to pass each other.
It took more than 20 minutes of walking along the mountain path before we could see any houses.
After crossing a mountain, you can see the whole view of Xiaotang Town, a small town built along the river.
Almost every house along the river has a sign that says something like "hot spring bath".
There's only one way for outsiders to get in: set up a sentry post along the road up the mountain. If someone comes to check, the people in town will know immediately.
By the time the investigators arrived in town, it was too late.
The location of this survey was not in the town, but in the village. After passing through this hot spring street, there was another road leading up the mountain.
This road leads to a nearby village, and it's also difficult to travel.
Upon arriving in the village, Dawei got out of the car and began conducting random surveys.
Zhao Kui, carrying oil, knocked on the door of a house.
The family consists of a couple in their fifties, and they seem a bit nervous.
After Zhao Kui made his statement, the couple became very affectionate.
After a few casual words, Dawei got straight to the point.
"Brother, how many acres of woodland do you own? What do you grow there now?"
"It's about 20 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares). I haven't really taken care of it. I just go up there every year to collect some firewood. I can't manage it all."
"What if the county offered some rent, which you could use to grow fruit trees? Would you be happy with that?"
"Of course I'm happy to, why wouldn't I be?"
David chuckled and continued, "So, how much rent do you want to collect?"
"The government can decide what to give; it doesn't matter, it's worthless."
"In Wuxian County, Fujian Province, the average rent for forest land is 43 yuan per mu. We can increase it a little."
"That high?"
The old farmer was simple and honest, and he laughed heartily.
After visiting several farmers, Dawei had a general idea of what was going on.
For some families facing financial difficulties, it might be necessary to increase the rent appropriately.
Time was tight and the task was heavy, so Zhao Kui reminded them that it was time to go back.
Backtrack.
After leaving Xiaotang Town, take the mountain road towards the national highway.
I've only been walking for almost 20 minutes.
Lin Yunxing suddenly braked.
Zhao Kui and Dawei were both startled; they had stopped too abruptly.
Zhao Kui was about to say something when he saw the large rock blocking his way and stopped himself from speaking.
David glanced to the side and said, "I didn't notice this stone when we came..."
Lin Yunxing frowned, looked at the weather, the sun was high in the sky, there was no sign of rain, and there was no possibility of a landslide.
This stone is probably strange.
He was about to back up when he noticed a Jialing 75 suddenly blocking the road behind him.
"Call the police, quick!" Lin Yunxing shouted.
He judged that they had most likely encountered bandits.
Zhao Kui hurriedly took out his phone and dialed 110.
The call was answered quickly.
