Chapter 393: Renting a House
After the entire train station experienced the turmoil just now, everyone in the station looked at Li Yi differently.
Judging from Li Yi's dress, he is either a disciple of a wealthy family or a boss, but he can stand up for a group of villagers in a mountain village. Although he does not do anything on the surface, in his heart, everyone gives Li Yi a thumbs up. .
Not to mention anything else, just having the courage to stand up and reason with the boss is already amazing.
Li Yi didn't care about this, he was just thinking that staying in the train station like this was not the case!
We must find a place for the villagers to stay as soon as possible, otherwise the normal operation of the train station will be disrupted!
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yi had an idea!
The population of this town is not very large, but there are still tens of thousands. Every household has a small courtyard, which is divided into an east wing and a west wing. According to the custom here, one or two rooms are usually left empty. The wing room is for receiving guests!
If we discuss with the residents of the town, we can rent these wing rooms to provide these villagers with a temporary place to stay.
In this way, won’t the accommodation problem be temporarily solved?
As for how to negotiate, of course it involves money!
What Li Yi lacks the most now is this. If every household is given a satisfactory price, are they still afraid that the residents of these towns will not agree?
Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth. He turned to the old village chief and said, "Village Chief, I have a way. How about we do this..."
After a while, the old village chief looked at the villagers and said doubtfully: "Is this possible? That's someone's home! Can we just go in and live in it? No, no!"
Li Yi said helplessly: "Old village chief, don't worry, as long as you give them enough money, they will want to let all of you live in their own homes! They just hate that their houses are not big enough!"
The old village chief sighed, and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the villagers lying on the ground on mattresses and sitting on chairs in the waiting room.
Then he nodded and said: "Okay, okay! Then please ask Boss Li for help! If you can't convince the residents of the town, I don't blame you! We will just move away!"
Li Yi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Where is it! I'm going now!"
Looking at Li Yi's back as he turned and left, the old village chief felt like he wanted to burst into tears.
How many years? How many years has it been since you saw the outside world? But isn't this still the same as when he was a soldier?
There are still bad people, but there are more and more good people!
…
Li Yi walked out of the train station and came to the small town. It seemed that he was arriving at the hotel now. The small town was full of smoke and full of fireworks.
Following the bluestone path to a courtyard-like building, Li Yi gently knocked on the wooden door.
Almost all the houses in this small town are designed according to the garden landscape. Although it is not a large garden, the yard has three entrances, and it still looks like a large family.
Not long after the wooden door knocked, a middle-aged man in a shirt came to the door. Seeing Li Yi standing at the door, he asked curiously: "What's the matter? Young man?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "I want to ask where the mayor's home is? I'm from out of town and I have something to discuss with the mayor!"
The middle-aged man wore a pair of glasses and was very well-dressed. After hearing Li Yi's question, he smiled and said: "If you are looking for the mayor's home, then you have found the right place. This is it!"
"Is this here?" Li Yi was also confused. He really didn't expect that he was so lucky. He found the mayor's house just by looking for a house.
You must know that the town mayor is usually a formal leader, and is generally rarely held by locals, so what Li Yi actually wants to ask is where the town government is.
"Can you tell me what it is about? If it's to sell something, there's no need! We don't have this need!"
Li Yi sighed slowly and said in a deep voice: "There was an accident in Kaoshan Village. The mudslides destroyed the villagers' houses. I would like to discuss with the mayor how to properly resettle these villagers!"
There was an accident in Kaoshan Village and all the houses were washed away?
Hearing Li Yi's words, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly changed!
He immediately walked out of the yard and came to Li Yi, his expression no longer as relaxed as before!
Li Yi was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Does this middle-aged man know anyone in Kaoshan Village? Otherwise, why are you so nervous?
"Kaoshan Village...how many people are still alive?"
The middle-aged man put his hands on Li Yi's shoulders and asked with a serious face.
Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "There are no casualties in Kaoshan Village! Don't worry!"
No casualties?
How could the mudslide cause no casualties?
Of course, the middle-aged man didn't mean anything else. He had seen mudslides himself.
During the rescue and disaster relief work, he was also on the front line, and he had a personal experience of the destructive power of mudslides.
The most important thing is that the geographical location of Kaoshan Village is very dangerous. Once a mudslide occurs, it will inevitably cause a landslide, and even reinforced concrete houses cannot stop it!
When he first heard that something had happened in Kaoshan Village, he thought the entire village and its villagers had been buried!
As a result, Li Yi told him that there were no casualties. Is this really a manifestation of the Bodhisattva?
"What exactly is going on? Young man, do you know what a mudslide is? How is it possible..."
Li Yi looked at the very excited middle-aged man in front of him and immediately explained: "Calm down first! Just listen to what I have to say!"
"I happened to go to Paoshan Village to buy herbs from Yang Tiezhu, and I saw something wrong on the way. I learned some geological knowledge and saw the hollowed-out mountain and the creek mixed with soil and gravel. Guess there will be mudslides on the mountain!”
The middle-aged man nodded. Yes, he also went back to learn some knowledge about mudslides after the first rescue.
The sign before a mudslide comes is the change in the mountain streams and rivers!
Li Yi continued: "I followed the small river on the mountain upstream and saw that a landslide had plunged into the river bed! So I immediately went back to find Yang Tiezhu and asked him to help persuade the whole village to leave this dangerous place. !”
"Although the process of persuasion was very difficult, it was finally successful. Just when we left the mountain village and came to the foot of the mountain and the entrance to the town, a mudslide came, mixed with a landslide! Just like that, the entire village was gone! "
The tense nerves of the middle-aged man instantly relaxed and he let out a long breath, as if he had experienced it himself.
"Young man! You have saved more than a hundred lives! By the way, what is your name?"
"My name is Li Yi!"
Li Yi? This name seems a bit familiar!
"Come on, come in and tell me, how can we help?"
Li Yi said seriously: "I want to rent a house!"
