Chapter 7 The Abode of the Immortals

  "This is really a place where immortals stay!" Looking at the East Linshui Village under his rule, Chen Taizhong, who was a first-timer, was in a great mood.   In fact, this guy's wording was not very accurate.   He should say, this is a place where immortals "can" stay, as for humans, it is absolutely not suitable to live here, the conditions, is really too harsh a little bit.   Thirty years ago, East Linshui Village is still a place of beautiful scenery, the whole village, located in a hilly area, the east is the white phoenix brook gurgling through, some people can drive a fishing boat to catch fish with nets.   The hills are covered with dense woods and shrubs, and there are mountain chickens and rabbits everywhere in the forest, a vibrant look.   East Linshui Village's arable land is not too much, and these arable land is not only barren, the cultivation layer is also shallow, the annual output of food is not much, except for the harvest year, ordinary years, but also can only protect a village of people to get a full eighty percent.   In short, together with fruits and other sideline industries, and the village people to sell some hand-processed products, in addition to the very year, the life here, originally was considered to be able to self-sufficiency.   But in recent years, with the development of the economy, East Linshui also began to be affected, this poor resource, was viciously developed.   As a result, it caused the current "hell on earth" general scene, East Linshui Village, has begun to desertify.   Desertification, this word is not very accurate, to be more accurate, it is "rocky desertification", this is a kind of ecological disaster which is more difficult to manage than desert.   It is a kind of ecological disaster that is even more difficult to manage than deserts. To describe it in one sentence, the trees on the hills are gone, so that little bit of poor soil is washed away by the water, and now Donglinshui Village, except for the part of the cultivated land, the rest of the village is just rock after rock, rock after rock.   Once it rains, it is a spectacular waterfall, and once the rain stops, it is a bare pile of cobblestones, which can't store water and is extremely unfavorable for human habitation.   Even Baifeng Creek, which used to be able to support fish and shrimp, is now not much more than a bubble of children's urine during the dry season.   This is a disaster that is very difficult to manage, and some people once suggested that a reservoir should be built, which is a good idea, but it is not realistic.   Reservoir, with what to build? There is no soil in all directions, in addition to blowing out stone pits to store water, you can only take reinforced concrete hard on, that would cost how much money ah?   The worst thing is, Phoenix perennial temperature is relatively high, water is also very easy to evaporate, living here, is really full of test people.   According to say, in the face of this situation, Chen Taizhong should be very some complaints to the right, this bird village head, when not when there is no meaning well.   Think so people are wrong, he did the official is to communicate with people, as for the rule of the village to what kind of tragedy, he simply does not care, also do not want to care.   Cultivation of immortal people, cut off love and sex for them, not difficult to do.   Therefore, once he arrived in the village, he just mindlessly scurried around, looking for people to chat, in the past, right, there is no reason to be hard to communicate with others, now he is the deputy village chief, is the deputy village chief eh, randomly grab some people to chat, it is very easy to do.   The village chief is a local, surnamed Li, is considered a big surname of the village - in fact, is also a big surname of the country, looks big and thick, is said to be more or less a little gangster background.   In fact, the chicken nest can not jump out of the ostrich, such a small ravine, where there will be what triad? But it is a dirt stick gangster only, however, can not be denied, this guy, also counted on the village of a bully.   Li Fanding is very some do not treat Chen Taizhong, of course, this do not treat, he can only put in the heart, no matter how to say, this is sent down above the cadres, although only a deputy, but wait until the time when people fly, he would like to then bows to, that can be too late.   Officialdom, there is no secret to speak of, Li village head almost in the Chen deputy village head arrived at the same time, received all the information of its people, such as other people, he could not understand the deputy village head's origin, a small people's family, actually appeared in a high school graduate of the civil service?   It does not matter if you do not understand, as long as this person is harmless, Li Fanding absolutely will not go to mess with, take a step back, even if this guy in the officialdom does not have what aids, but this person is so young, it is difficult to say in the future there will be a day of the Dragon Gate of the fish.   Chen Taizhong, on the other hand, was notoriously uninterested in political affairs, he only liked to chat.   Therefore, Li village head and Chen vice village head of the relationship, or relatively cordial, and even when there is an opportunity to eat a lot of food, he did not forget to greet it, we go with, anyway, such a luxury opportunity, in this small mountain village is not rare.   For example, right now is, the upper reaches of the Bai Feng Creek has a private cement factory boss ran, to invite Li village head for dinner, Li Fanding in addition to the village branch secretary, but also shouted on Chen Taizhong.   The boss of the cement factory, is not eaten up, want to come to the rock pile to play, his factory once started, a week to earn, will be higher than the East Linshui a year's income, he came, there is an important thing to do it.   The factory will soon be put into production, the road has not been repaired, which, there is a section of the road, to pass through the East Linshui's land, the most important, there is also a section of the village of East Linshui is one of the few arable land, this work, is quite difficult to do.   According to common sense, the villagers are to block, which blocked in the eyes of the cement factory boss, is difficult, of course, this inside the proportion, who can not grasp so apt.   Li Fanding on this matter know very well, in fact, this matter is absolutely in his acquiescence to happen, his power, in the village can definitely use "monstrous" two words to describe, however, someone treats, why not come to eat a meal?   More importantly, the boss of the cement factory said, this time the main guest, is the township of Zhang Heng Zhang mayor, Li village mayor who's face can not buy, but Zhang mayor's face, he did not have the courage not to buy.   After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, seeing that the township chief adult has been helping the boss of the cement factory off to say, Li Village Chief understands that this matter, yes or no, it has to be done.   "Here is a cigarette, and five hundred dollars," do the boss see the time is ripe, smilingly threw out the gift, do not mind at all the mayor of the township is sitting on the edge of the table, "the villagers work, but also rely on Li Village Chief to do it oh."   "A small token," Li Fanding drank his face and neck, did not even look at the cigarettes and money a glance, although it is tempting to reach out, but he also wants to save face is not it?   He patted his chest and assured, "I'll take care of this matter, since Boss Lu is a friend of Township Chief Zhang, it's not a matter of a word?"   At this time, Chen Taizhong, who had been observing their conversation, spoke up, "Boss Lv, how much cement can you produce in a year if you put this cement plant into operation?"   This was a conversation, Chen Taizhong thought so himself, he had been observing and studying for half a day, moreover, at this table, he was not originally the protagonist.   But unfortunately, Mr. Lv didn't think so.
