There was less than a week left before the one-month deadline, which meant that more than half of the month had passed and there was not much time left.
In the last few days, Ou Shaotian did not waste any time. He led a large group of people to fish and filled up the newly expanded fish pond at home.
A few days passed by quickly and the one-month deadline was finally over.
Fortunately, the people from Flower Village did not appear again during this one-month period. Perhaps they knew about Baiyun Village's plan to give up on the fish pond.
Therefore, they did not dare to provoke the people from Baiyun Village.
However, Ge Wanjin from Green Wood Town's fish tax department was about to arrive.
"Shaotian, it's all thanks to you these days. You've worked hard!"
After everyone gathered again, Yun Hai expressed his gratitude.
"Village Chief, I'm just doing what I should do. No matter what, I'm still a member of Baiyun Village. It's my duty to help everyone."
Ou Shaotian looked serious and said in a deep voice.
Capable people do more work!
Since he was a member of Baiyun Village and had the ability in this area, he had the obligation to lead the village to become stronger.
"That's right. You've contributed to the village and everyone in the village will remember you!"
Yun Hai nodded and said in a deep voice.
"I understand!"
Ou Shaotian nodded and said.
The village had helped him a lot and many people treated him well. After his parents went missing, he was able to survive because of his neighbors.
"Everyone, the one-month deadline is up. I reckon that Ge Wanjin will be here soon. Let's not go out today."
Yun Hai turned to look at the others and said.
"Let's not go out. Let's wait for that bastard to come!"
Many people said aloud.
Therefore, this morning, everyone stayed in the village and did not go out.
In the afternoon, Ge Wanjin came over with a few lackeys. His arrogant demeanor really made him look like he was asking for a beating.
"Village Chief Yun, I'm here again. Have you prepared the fish tax for this month?"
Ge Wanjin said with a smug face.
In fact, he had already received the news that Baiyun Village was going to give up on the fish pond.
In other words, his plan was already half completed.
In the future, the fishing ground will be handed over to Flower Love Village. Every month, the village will pay 10,000 fish as tax, and he can personally keep 2,000 fish as tax.
If Flower Village had not promised to give him ten thousand fish as tax, he would not have helped Flower Village to obtain the management rights of the fishery.
He wouldn't wake up early if there were no benefits!
"Captain Ge, I'm sorry. The tax of 10,000 fish is too much. We can't afford it, so we don't want the management rights of this fishery."
Yun Hai said coldly.
Seeing Ge Wanjin's greedy face, he couldn't help but want to kill him. Unfortunately, for the sake of the village, he could only sullenly endure.
"Village Chief Yun, are you sure you want to give up? This is the management rights that you fought so hard for. Do you really want to give up?"
Ge Wanjin said hypocritically.
That disgusting and hypocritical look made people want to vomit!
"Captain Ge, we've already decided. Take out the management agreement and we'll sign it!"
Yun Hai said with a cold face.
Just looking at the other party's face made him feel disgusted. He couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with the other party.
"Haha, since Village Chief Yun is so straightforward, then let's sign the agreement!"
Ge Wanjin laughed and took out a management rights return agreement that he had prepared beforehand from his space bag.
The content was simple. Baiyun Village couldn't afford to pay the tax. The village chief would return the management rights of the fishing boats and Baiyun Village would no longer have the management rights of the fishery.
Yun Hai didn't waste any time. He took the agreement and gave it a simple look before signing his name.
"Captain Ge, please leave. Our village doesn't welcome you!"
Yun Hai said coldly as he stuffed the management rights agreement to Ge Wanjin.
"Hahaha, Village Chief Yun, I'm saying this for your own good. Your village isn't strong enough and you're still occupying the fishery. Sooner or later, something will happen."
Ge Wanjin said hypocritically.
That hypocritical look was disgusting. The villagers of Baiyun Village wanted to vomit all over his face.
"Please leave!"
Yun Hai said coldly.
"Haha, then I'll take my leave first!"
Ge Wanjin smiled proudly and left with his lackeys.
After leaving Baiyun Village, Ge Wanjin brought his men directly to Flower Love Village. Soon, he signed the agreement with the village chief of Flower Love Village, He Bufan.
The agreement still stated that the tax was 8,000 yuan, which was to be handed over to the fish tax department.
As for the other 2,000 yuan, it was secretly given to the village chief.
"Village Chief He, I'll leave the fishery to you in the future!"
After signing the agreement, Ge Wanjin said with a smile.
"Captain Ge, don't worry. I'll definitely manage the fishery well. You won't be shortchanged for the 2,000 yuan tax!"
He Bufan said with a smile.
His heart was filled with pride. After paying such a huge price, he finally got the management rights of the fishery.
In the future, they could go to the fishery openly.
"Well said, well said. It's getting late. I'll spend the night here. I'll go back tomorrow. I wonder if you've prepared any programs?"
Ge Wanjin said with a wretched smile.
He Bufan, who knew his preferences, couldn't help but twitch his face, but he had no choice but to say, "Captain Ge, don't worry. I've arranged everything for you."
In the end, Ge Wanjin ate, drank, and had beautiful women to accompany him. This night could be said to be quite unrestrained. His lackeys also enjoyed themselves.
They didn't return to Green Wood Town until about 10 o 'clock the next morning.
…
After the people of Baiyun Village lost their fishery, all the villagers above advanced fishing master spontaneously formed teams to go out to sea to search for a new fishery.
Yun Duo also found Ou Shaotian and wanted to team up with him to go out to search.
Ou Shaotian also agreed.
However, he didn't set off immediately. Instead, he planned to cultivate in seclusion for a while and improve his strength first.
The stronger he was, the stronger his ability to deal with risks outside would be.
The sea was full of unknowns. It was very necessary to improve his strength first.
And Ou Shaotian was not the only one who had this idea. Many villagers also planned to cultivate in seclusion for a while.
They would consume most of the resources in the fish pond at home before going out.
It was just the right time to improve their strength.
When they went out to search, their chances of success would be higher.
"Shao Tien, then I'll leave first. See you in a month. We'll go out to sea together then. Don't sneak away alone."
Yun Duo looked at Ou Shaotian and said seriously.
She was worried that Ou Shaotian would go out to search alone without her!
"Don't worry. I'll definitely take you with me in a month, okay?"
Ou Shaotian said helplessly.
Originally, he did have this idea. After all, if he went out to sea to search, it would definitely take a lot of time. He might even have to eat the wind and rain.
When there was a strong wind at sea, the waves would surge and it would be extremely dangerous!
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
After Yun Duo finished speaking, she went home happily.
After watching her disappear from his sight, Ou Shaotian returned home, hung the "Do Not Disturb" sign, and then began a long period of seclusion cultivation.
