Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

(Chapter 93 was revised into a large 4K chapter last night. Readers who followed the update last night can refresh the page to have a look.)

Early the next morning, He Qiang led a group of militia members to hold a meeting in the team's former cafeteria.

There were no other residents around the west end of the mountain except for their Gunziwan production team. Even the other production teams in the village were distributed in the direction of the east end of the mountain.

Therefore, there was no need to hold a meeting in the village for this matter. Their team 1 could make the decision behind closed doors and report to the village later.

He Qiang was not afraid that Wu Youhua would have any opinions. This matter was originally their team's business.

"Be quiet, everyone!"

As the only deputy team leader in the production team, Liu Quanfu wanted to show his presence at this meeting.

But unfortunately, the villagers ignored him and continued to try to get close to He Qiang.

This made Liu Quanfu embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop for a while, otherwise there will be no result today if you keep arguing like this."

He Qiang's words were effective, and everyone immediately shut up.

This scene made Liu Quanfu feel sour.

But he was a relative of He Qiang after all, and his cousin's husband was also his brother-in-law.

"The products on the mountain are quite rich. If the dozen or so families who have joined the militia are divided, each family can actually get several hills."

He Qiang looked at the villagers who were looking forward to it, and said directly:"Don't envy me for getting meat in the mountain every day. In fact, everyone knows that things like lacquer trees and kudzu roots can be exchanged for money. I will make a statement. In the future, we will divide the mountain into plots, and everyone will have a good life. When the time comes, what can be obtained in the mountain will depend on each person's ability."

This is what everyone is waiting for!

There are not only animals in the mountains, but kudzu roots, lacquer trees, and medicinal herbs can also be exchanged for money.

When Liu Quanyou heard this, he couldn't help asking:"Captain He, we will definitely not let you divide the lacquer forest and kudzu root field you found before, but you have been in Simian Mountain for so long and are familiar with the roads. Do you plan to divide them all into your home? What specific rules do you plan to come up with for this matter?"

He Qiang waved his hand and smiled:"We have just entered the mountain area. I am familiar with the roads and I will tell you most of the routes. The hilltops I plan to take are all in the deep mountains. Normally, you will not be able to move to those places without horses, unless you plan to spend the night in the mountains."

Hearing this, a group of people felt that He Qiang was really righteous.

Liu Quanfu couldn't help but praise He Qiang:"Captain He, you are really honest, brother, I have to say thank you to you!"

"That’s right, it’s risky to go into the mountains, Qiangwaer is leaving all the easy things to us!"

"Qiangwaer is so honest, we can't do those false things. From now on, I will only recognize Qiangwaer in the militia, and no one else's words will be of any use!"

"That’s right! If anyone has any bad ideas about the hilltop that Qiang Waer wants, I will be the first one to disagree!"

"Qiang Wa'er has already suffered a loss, so we have to show our attitude in the future. If anyone dares to go against Qiang Wa'er, I will deal with him!"

Although the resources in the deep mountains are definitely more abundant, it also means risks. A few hours of walking are all used to hurry on the road, and if you spend some time hunting, it may be dark before you get down the mountain on the way back.

These villagers are not like He Qiang who has supernatural powers. They don't even have flashlights.

There is no need to threaten wild beasts. Just falling down or being bitten by poisonous insects is dangerous enough.

So He Qiang's"giving up love" completely won the support of everyone, and even Liu Quanfu was completely convinced of He Qiang.

Liu Quanfu felt that if he exchanged positions with He Qiang, he might not be able to be so free and easy and humble.

If he really asked him to divide the areas, he would first have to divide all the hills with good locations. Not only will he take over his own home, but he will also take the areas in the mountains that are rich in resources. At worst, he will give them away privately in exchange for benefits.

But what about He Qiang?

Liu Quanfu did not receive any notification from He Qiang at all. Seeing that the other militiamen were also unaware of this, it was obvious that he treated them fairly.

The prestige brought by this is very significant. Now all the militiamen in their team are He Qiang's die-hard fans.

With just one move, He Qiang pulled all the militiamen in their team to his side and completely controlled the right to speak.

Liu Quanfu also gave up the idea of making a difference in the team.

He knew that no matter how he struggled, he could not come up with a bigger bargaining chip than He Qiang.

"Regarding the issue of zoning, I have some ideas for the time being."

He Qiang made a gesture, and immediately silenced the group of militiamen who were talking at once.

Liu Quanfu had no room to play, so he simply supported He Qiang with all his strength and said directly:"Captain He, you have always been able to treat everyone equally, and everyone obeys you. You tell me how to divide it, and I will have no objection. If anyone dares to have an opinion about you, I will be the first to deal with him!"

The others also echoed and expressed their positions one after another.

"Captain He, you decide how to divide it. We are listening! Even if the village chief comes, your opinion won't work!"

"That's right! You are willing to give up the good place, why would everyone not trust you? If anyone has a problem with you, then their conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

"Captain He, you make the decision, we all listen to you!"

This time, everyone stopped calling him Qiang Waer, and started calling him Captain He.

At this time, everyone had completely forgotten He Qiang's past. At this moment, they only had eyes for He Qiang, the deputy captain of the militia who had the final say!

Prestige was established unconsciously in this way.

"If you guys trust me, I will tell you the truth."

He Qiang continued with a serious face:

"In fact, catching wild animals in the mountains is not a long-term strategy, and it is easy to catch them all extinct. Therefore, the standard for dividing the land is still based on the value of various crops. Except for the hill that I want to keep, we will find out the rest when the time comes, and then divide the land into sections based on distance and value. This way, we can try our best to ensure that everyone does not suffer losses and avoid conflicts."

Everyone thought that He Qiang's idea was good.

After all, this can fully ensure that the spoils are evenly distributed.

But Liu Quanfu felt a little disappointed after hearing it.

After all, with the relationship between their family and the He family, they did not receive any special care, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, after the meeting, He Qiang kindly put his arm around Liu Quanfu's shoulders and invited him to his house for a drink at noon.

Liu Quanfu's eyes flickered, and he was happy, and then he left the cafeteria with a satisfied look on his face.

The meeting ended and everyone was happy.

From today on, He Qiang will completely take off the label he once had and become the respected Captain He in the team!

In the eyes of those villagers, He Qiang must have suffered a great loss.

They just thought that He Qiang wanted to make progress and gave them benefits in order to secure his position as captain.

But in fact, only He Qiang knew that he was just taking the light. The bones were thrown out generously, but the real fat was completely swallowed up!

He only generously gave up the outer mountainous area that was easy to get involved in, but the inner deep mountainous area where the linden forest and berry forest were located was firmly in his hands, and there were hundreds of times more areas of primitive forest that could be further explored in the deep mountainous area that had not been developed.

These areas were undeveloped treasures, and no one except He Qiang could touch them.

For He Qiang, who had superpowers, giving up the outer mountainous area was fine. Ordinary natural resources, in this time of 78 years, were not expensive. These areas accounted for less than one percent of the Simianshan mountain system, and He Qiang didn't feel bad at all.

As long as he could ensure that no one would find out, he would use his superpowers to cultivate in the deep mountainous area.

The sweetness of linden honey was just the beginning for him!

"You may make a lot of money, but I will never lose money!"

He Qiang walked home with a smile on his face, looking very proud.
