When Su Xing understood why Hao Luxiang kindly criticized Su Zhi for a week's vacation, the two of them were already taken to Kala Banner County, which was full of warm winter sun by Su Chunqing.

Kala Banner is a coniferous forest belt in the sub-cold zone, while Kala Banner County is located in the valley of the Neurur Mountains in the Little Xing'an Mountains where the sub-cold zone and the cold zone meet. Because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, not only does the temperature difference here not only is there a large seasonal difference, but the relatively warm climate also breeds uneven forest resources such as temperate, sub-cold zone, and cold zone. Even in Kala Banner County, people inevitably have the illusion that people are in the mountains and mountains are in the forest, and the beauty of the original ecology is indescribable.

When they entered a small county town in Jiangchuan, which was far less than that of a town in Jiangchuan, it was dusk. Perhaps because the locals had not been exposed to too many external worlds, when Su Zhi's driver Zhang Zhigang carefully stopped the seven "Toyota 80" that Tang Yawen had specially borrowed for their trip outside the pass on the roadside, the bustling crowds on both sides of the road were completely stagnant.

Su Xing once came to this place nine years later in 2002, but compared with the current Kala Banner, the latter was not even as wealthy as the former's small village. Now, except for the county magistrate's old Volga, people in the entire small county town have never seen such a steel monster with a similar appearance as a tank. After everyone stood far and near, they talked for a long time, and the strange quietness was broken by Su Chunqing, who had already leaned up in the last row of the car but had already stretched out his head and stretched out his glass.

"Aunt Mao Tao, are you buying salt?!" As if she was afraid that people from afar would not hear it, Su Chunqing's words were not much different from shouting.

His loud roar not only did Su Zhi and Su Xing, who wanted to sleep because they were too bumpy just now, but even the aunt who was called Aunt Mao Tao not far away was so scared that she almost threw back the salt bag he had just held in her hand to the vendor who had collected the money but had already fallen to the ground.

After a while, the old lady looked at Su Chunqing with a proud look on her face and looked around her side. Then she took a trembling step towards the side of the car, but her hand tightened the salt bag she was holding and asked Su Chunqing, "Is it him Uncle Chunqing? Why are you inside that?"

"Why don't you even recognize me?!" Su Chunqing stretched his head and waited for someone to support him. When Aunt Mao Tao asked him, he immediately pointed at Su Zhi in front of him as if he had made a declaration and shouted, "I'm going to Jiangchuan to find my uncle and my brother! Aunt, this is my brother Su Zhi, the son of my fifth uncle, and now he is an official in Jiangchuan..."

"Is he a high-ranking official?"

After hearing Su Chunqing's words, Aunt Mao Tao looked at Su Zhi who didn't know who it was. She immediately took several steps back. She clearly remembered that during that time, Su Chunqing's family was splitting up her family. She secretly said in the village that "Tongqing should have one"...

As Aunt Mao Tao fled in panic, Su Chunqing also jumped out of the car, but helplessly, he could no longer recognize anyone except Aunt Mao Tao who was accidentally touched by him on the streets of the entire county town.

Seeing that he had been urging him to hurry up a few days ago, he was bored and almost got close to the small vendors on the roadside. Su Zhi, who was not in a hurry, simply opened the car door and stood on the road.

"Xingxing, come down and go around, move your legs and feet!" Su Zhi didn't think like Su Chunqing. After greeting Su, he walked straight and took two steps and squatted casually next to a stall selling mushrooms on the side of the road.

Su Xing had long been fascinated by the piles of pine cones, hazelnuts and pheasants from the vendors on both sides of the road. When Su Zhi heard that he would not leave, he immediately opened the car door and approached the stall and asked, "Master, what kind of mushroom is this? It looks like it but doesn't look like it!"

"Thigh mushrooms!?" Su Zhi grabbed two handfuls of mushrooms from the pile that could not be picked up, put them on the scale next to him, "Membersman, how do you sell it?"

The boss of a suit stall only saw this situation in the movie. He was so scared that he dared not move around and trembled and looked at the fellow villagers who were envious of him. He looked at Su Chunqing, who was smoking cigarettes from others in a short distance. After a long time, he twisted his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade, it's a thigh mushroom. This year, he came down from the mountain, one cent or two cents a pound..."

"Damn!" Su Xing, who was squatting on the ground, almost fainted due to lack of oxygen when he heard the boss's price quoted!

Thigh mushrooms, a mountain product that has just become popular in recent years, may be the cheapest and cost dozens of dollars if they buy them in Jiangchuan due to some hype. Now he knows that the profits in them are comparable to drug trafficking, so how can he not be excited?

"You have a lot of this kind of thing here?" Su Xing threw several handfuls on the scale, and his little thoughts quickly turned.

"There are many mountains in our village, and I don't know anything else." The stall owner said a few words and said smoothly. While picking the scales out, he answered Su Xing seriously and said, "There are also apricot mushrooms and urla grass on the mountain behind our village. If you say it is accurate, I can carry more..."

"Back?" Su Zhi, who was also picking mushrooms on the side, heard the word "reciting" by his fellow villagers, and immediately took it back from the big pile of mushrooms with both hands and said, "My fellow villagers, are these things you carry? Which village are you from? How far is it from here? How long does it take to travel back and forth?"

"We are from Pinggou Village, Bayan Township! The mountain roads are not easy to walk to get here in our village. I will come with my two sons. They will carry more and I will carry less. We will get there in a afternoon..."

At 40 miles a day, the mountain road was still loaded. Su Zhi and Su Xing stopped their movements when they heard this. Although they heard Su Chunqing talk about how Kala Banner was closed along the way, they were far from seeing the shock of seeing with their own eyes.

"How much can you make for selling mountain goods in a year?" Su Xing took out a cigarette from his pocket and respectfully handed it to the stall owner and Su Zhi. He was about to order them, but Su Chunqing and his two sons who were lying in the car and refused to get out immediately rushed to the front.

Without saying anything, Su Chunqing poured all the mushrooms that Su Xing and Su Zhi had picked just now and said, "Big nephew, why are you buying this business?! There are no other things in our village, there are so many things. I want to eat and take them. I won't let you do it when I get home tomorrow..."

"How much can you make for selling mountain goods in a year?" Su Zhi ignored the three Su Chunqing who were picking cigarettes with Su Xing one by one, and sighed and picked up the mushrooms into the scale again.

The fellow sold mushrooms was scared by Su Chunqing just now, and he didn't know whether he should sell Su Zhishan goods. He let him move for a long time before carefully sucking the filter in his hand and said, "There are many mountain goods this year, and it can't be sold at a good price. If you want to change cloth and salt, buy some fertilizers and make about twenty yuan. If you can get some beasts in the mountains after winter, you can still make some money..."

"What about the food? Is there enough food?" Su Xing looked at the Yuxi cigarette in his hand, and his brows unconsciously frowned like Su Zhi.

"When there is a lot of rain, the corn on the mountain grows enough to eat, but you have to be careful of wild boars, bears, and other beasts. These beasts are like a platoon, which is so harmful to people..."

"The same is true in other villages?" Su Zhi, who was lucky, looked forward to the fellow villager in front of him because he lived too remotely, but the reality could not be as he wished!

From the answers of the fellow villagers, due to the inconvenient transportation in the entire Kala Banner area, the food and clothing level in any village near the county town is higher, and as long as it is slightly farther away, it has just crossed the food and clothing line. As for those natural villages that are truly hidden in the mountains, no one knows whether they have been lifted out of poverty now except the county and township governments!

"Why don't you build roads? I didn't learn the spirit of Dazhai and Hongqi Canal?"

"After repairs, a few years ago, the county sent people to mobilize people from villages to let those who have money pay and those who have labor pay!"

The fellow villagers didn't know that Su Zhi was actually concerned about the issue of random levies. He told him in a singular manner, "At that time, the regulations were to build the roads from each village to the village, the roads from the county to the county, and the roads from the city to the city. At the beginning, everyone worked hard and built some days, but our place was short of labor. If the village was not built every year, heavy snow should be closed. When the construction was about to continue, the roads that had been compacted earlier were all frozen and could only be rebuilt. After the reconstruction was completed, the heavy snow should be closed again. So every year, only each village built a small firewood road..."

"Chailu?" Su Xing didn't quite understand what the word in the hometown dialect meant, so he couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Master, don't you have two sons? There should be many villages like you, right? Why do you still say labor?"

"Not many five!" Hearing Su Xing ask about the population, the fellow villagers said helplessly, "You children in the city don't understand! Here we have to farm during the busy farming period, and in the slack farming period, we have to go to the fields to see the animals in the mountains not let harm the crops. In spring and winter, we have to hunt the mountains, so how can we have enough labor!"

"Why don't you have more children? Is it because of family planning?"

"I have to raise my life after giving birth! I have given birth to five sons, and three of them have not succeeded. For adults, only these two!"

Because the economy cannot develop, the medical and health conditions in Kala Banner are not very good. So like thousands of poor counties across the country, there is also a problem of low population survival rates here. To solve the population problem, in the final analysis, we have to return to the fundamentals of developing the local economy and improving medical conditions.

"There are few people, the land is poor, the land is poor, the land is poor, the people are few!"

Su Zhi, who had not spoken for a long time, had spent so much effort and finally roughly analyzed the problem of the entire Kala Banner. He was about to further talk to his fellow villagers, but suddenly a burst of noise came from behind him.

"The police station is here!"

I don’t know who shouted, but then I saw a Japanese devil’s squat motorcycle that was left by him as if he had entered his own happy ground. Regardless of whether the streets had time to avoid them, the accelerator roared and flew over from the other end of the street where Su Zhi and the others were.

"Bandit style!" Seeing that several ordinary people were almost hung by this roster, Su Zhi was dizzy when he stood up.
Chapter completed!
