The hidden tricks of getting rich in rural areas

When it comes to getting rich, we always say that hard work makes you rich. Think carefully: can hard work really make you rich? Honest, kind farmers who are not particularly quick-witted will never get rich in their whole lives. Most farmers have no way to get rich.

Those who raise pigs, foxes, raccoon dogs and the like do not get rich in large numbers either. Living things are threatened by death and disease, and are also affected by the market.

Among several relatives, some did indeed make a little money from breeding livestock, but the money they earned was all spent on building houses and finding wives for their sons. Some also spent it on their children's education costs. So, year in and year out, farmers have no spare money and can never become rich.

However, a certain group of special people get rich effortlessly.

Getting rich by buying land. In earlier years, national policy in some places required returning farmland to forest. Rural areas are relatively isolated, so the first to get the news were naturally the village officials. The land was already poor, the cost of growing crops was high, and it did not make money, so much of the land was left barren. At this time, some village officials, or the various aunts and uncles connected to them, went door to door buying up land from farmers at low prices. Many farmers thought to themselves: this land does not yield much anyway, and now there is such a good deal, so sell it! So, if you sold, I sold too. The sellers were happy, and the buyers were willing. After a few months, the national policy was announced, requiring the land to be returned to forest. Land returned to forest received very, very high subsidies. At this point, those who had sold their land were stunned. In fact, land belongs to the state and originally was not allowed to be bought or sold, but these people find ways around it. First, homestead land can be bought and sold. Second, if the land cannot be bought or sold, then the land-use rights can be bought and sold. Permanent use - what a great excuse!

Getting rich by buying up dilapidated houses. The state also had a policy saying that some rural villages with small populations would be turned into fertile farmland. In this way, many worthless dilapidated houses would also receive subsidies. So this also attracted some people to buy them. Village officials either acted themselves or sent relatives and friends to buy up those dilapidated houses. When the state subsidy funds arrived, the bulk of the money rolled right into their own pockets.

Getting rich by planting trees and building greenhouses.

This is not about the kind of getting rich that means nurturing people for a hundred years, nor about making money by growing crops in greenhouses. Instead, it is about playing tricks and waiting for the state to build roads through those places, waiting for compensation money! Many barren plots of land had greenhouses built on them, with not a single melon or fruit inside! According to regulations, when the state builds roads and widens roads, it will definitely demolish some things, so large amounts of subsidy money come rolling in.

When word got out that a certain highway was going to be widened, immediately both sides of the highway were planted full of trees. You could say they squeezed in wherever there was a gap - it was really dense!

Once I was cycling with a large group of people and came across many empty pigsties. When I asked around, it turned out that the reason these empty pigsties did not raise pigs was that they were specially used to collect state subsidies. Farther along, I saw many green buses. I heard these were also obtained through state subsidies.

Of course, some people really did get rich through their own quick thinking. There are truly not many of these people. When it comes to traveling away from home, how many farmers have you seen? Most farmers are still struggling to survive. Their goal is to eat and save money. Save money for their children's education, save money to marry off sons and daughters, save money for illness and hospitalization, save all kinds of money - just no money spent on enjoyment. If there is any, it is extremely little.

Many people curse every day and are dissatisfied every day. In fact, the state's policies benefiting the people in recent years have been quite good. People can receive old-age subsidies and get subsidies for growing grain and raising livestock, but many preferential policies are not implemented in practice. To truly become rich still requires a very long time.
