Gu Xiaobai must have gone to look for the Town Secretary and the Town Head again. The team in the town suddenly all left.
Grandpa Lisheng quickly came to our house, "Second Brother, the town suddenly came over and said that they want to take over the land in our village. They said that there are two ways. One is to transfer all the farmland, paddy fields, and barren hills in the village at once. The town said that our village is not in the suburbs. If the land is transferred, the investors won't be willing to pay too high a price. One mu of land is two to three thousand yuan. The other way is for our village to gather all the land and rent it to the investors. But it has to be more than twenty years old. After all, they invest in agriculture and the cycle is too short. They won't be able to earn back their capital. Although I am the Village Secretary, I don't dare to make the decision casually. So, I came to ask for Second Brother's opinion. "
Grandpa Lisheng said that he was asking my grandfather, but his eyes kept looking at me. The one who had the most influence in the village now was probably me, a kid who was still in high school.
Grandpa glanced at me and said, "You are the Village Secretary, so you should be the one to say this."
"Yang Yang, what do you think?" Grandpa Lisheng said.
"With the price they offered, wouldn't the villagers know how to take over the contract? Do we need them to come? "I said absent-mindedly and used my hand to play with the Black Beans' puppy.
The puppy bounced up and down, trying to jump on me. It liked the smell of my body very much.
"I think so too. Who cares what company they are. No matter how well they do, it has nothing to do with us. Although they said that they will arrange for us villagers to work, I am sure that they won't give us a high salary. The young people in the village will have to go far away to work. But when the time comes, all the land will be in their hands and the contract will be signed. It will be impossible to get it back. Our village can't fall for this trick. Yang Yang is right. Our village doesn't have much land, but when it is gathered together, the area is still very big. If he were to give it to someone else, he might be able to earn more than what he could earn by working part-time. The biggest problem now is the lack of labor. But if we let someone take over the contract, they can buy the machinery and don't have to worry about labor. But no one in the village has so much money. "Grandpa Lisheng looked at me again. The people in the village knew about my situation quite well. Outside of the haunted house area, my Martial Arts Dojo in Jin City earns quite a lot of money every year.
I knew what Grandpa Lisheng wanted to say. "Let's gather everyone in the village for a meeting. It would be best if someone was willing to contract the land, but if no one was willing to do so, I would temporarily gather all the land together. I'll do whatever I need to do. Every year, I pay a certain amount of rent according to the size of each household. But in the future, if everyone wants to take it back and plant it on their own, I can't return it to him. I can only give it to him according to the area. This point had to be made clear to everyone. Our village just had such a big incident last year, and now someone is coming over and saying that they want to contract the land. We can't let our guard down. This is also the reason why I stepped forward. Everyone's roots were in this village. Don't destroy your roots for a little profit. "
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go and convene the village meeting now." Grandpa Li Sheng couldn't sit still any longer as he hurriedly ran outside.
Li Sheng was surprisingly efficient this time. He actually gathered all the villagers and held a village meeting on the same day. Of course, this was also the reason why everyone in the village paid close attention to it.
Some people in the village didn't plan to return to the village to do agriculture in the future. They weren't interested in the flow of the land and only hoped to get more money. However, most people were still worried that the incident from last year would happen again. After all, this was the roots of the entire village. If Eight Corner Village really became a dead land, even if everyone in the village moved out, they would become rootless duckweeds.
I heard all kinds of opinions from the villagers.
"I'd rather abandon all the land than rent it out to outsiders. Who knows what they're planning? If Yang Yang wants to gather all the land together for farming, I'm willing even if they don't give me a single cent. "
"That's right. If anyone isn't willing, then they're ungrateful. Ungrateful wretch. "
"Would Yang Yang be willing to pay less? Actually, Yang Yang doesn't care about how much money she can earn from the land. She just doesn't want the land in the village to be taken away by others. According to the town's officials, that so-called corporation doesn't plan to give us much money. Don't be ridiculous if we work in their factory. When the time comes, they'll have the initiative. It'll be good if they pay us according to the local market. "
"If it weren't for Yang Yang, would our children be able to go to Jin City's top schools? Don't even think about it. "
"Yes, we have to support Yang Yang today."
It wasn't that there weren't any objections. However, with so many voices in the village, these people didn't dare to voice their opinions.
After the meeting, the matter was basically settled. Except for some people who wanted to keep some land for themselves, most people agreed to contract all the paddy fields and cultivated land in the village. At the end of each year, the villagers would receive dividends according to the land area. And those who wanted to keep some land couldn't interfere with the plan.
When Xinong Group came to Eight Corner Village again, they got the news that all the land in Eight Corner Village had been contracted out. They didn't plan to cooperate with Xinong Group. This time, the attitude of the town was very clear. The villagers had the right to decide how the land would be managed in the future. The town encouraged the villagers to contract the land for large-scale agricultural production.
I could only inform Lin Yi's father to come over as soon as possible and take charge of the land management here.
I also have some ideas about contracting all the land in Eight Corner Village. The main peak of Eight Corner Mountain is the passage to the Ghost Realm. It's a sword that hangs over Eight Corner Village. Once the passage is opened, Eight Corner Village will be doomed. In the future, I plan to build the Dream Realm Sect's blessed land on the main peak of Eight Corner Mountain to guard this passage. Although Eight Corner Mountain isn't a famous mountain, it's surrounded by beautiful mountains. It won't be a disgrace to the Dream Realm Sect if it's used as the sect's blessed land. After all, all the famous mountains in Da Chuan have already been taken. It won't be easy to find a place in the future. In addition, now that we've contracted all the land in Eight Corner Village, we can gradually expand and gather all the land in Eight Corner Mountain. The sect will also have a fixed amount of resources. Thinking about it, Eight Corner Mountain is really a good place.
"Xiao Huang, if we can gather all the land around the village, it'll be more cost-effective. Anyway, we're doing mechanized production. It's just a one-time investment. The bigger the area, the lower the cost per mu. Eight Corner Village's environment is so good. It's the best place to do organic production. Farming, animal husbandry, and fishing are the most economical. "Lin Yi's father was still a little unsatisfied.
"I can't do anything about it. If it's Eight Corner Village, I can still influence it. But outside of Eight Corner Village, I can't do anything. However, we can ask Grandpa Li Sheng to be our lobbyist and go to the nearby villages to see if it works. However, there are too many problems involved. I'm afraid it won't be easy to convince them. "I didn't have much hope.
"If we can't contract, we can acquire land. Anyway, the land in this village isn't that expensive. We just took over so many shops. If we sell them immediately, the annual deposit will be a large sum. Adding on the rent, it's enough for us to acquire a large piece of land. We won't change the use of the land. The local government won't let us invest in it. "Lin Yi's father kept on egging me on.
Lin Yi's father kept on pestering me. I had no choice but to say, "Okay. I'll look for Vice-Magistrate Xia. "
Since Vice-Magistrate Xia didn't succeed in keeping West Farmer Group, she was being criticized. When she received my call, she was naturally overjoyed.
"Xiao Huang, can I call you that?" Xia Wanxiao still had a certain amount of respect towards me. As someone who had personally experienced that incident, she knew what I was capable of.
"Whatever. I don't care about what you call me. I just want to ask you if it can be done, "I asked.
"It must be done. How about this, I'll come to Eight Corner Village immediately. It's hard to explain it over the phone, so it's better to talk about it face to face. " Xia Wanxiao's days in the county felt like years. Now that there was a chance, she might be able to use it to turn things around. Right now, it was the crucial moment of the election. It was the time for Xia Wanxiao to wrestle with her competitors.
A few hours later, Xia Wanxiao's car was already parked on the village council's field. After Xia Wanxiao got off the car, she hurriedly walked towards my home.
"Xiao Huang, you really are my savior. It was all thanks to you last time that our county didn't suffer a huge loss. This time, we have to rely on you again. I have a certain understanding of the West Nong Group's situation. Although they will invest in our county, our farmers won't get many benefits. If things don't go well, after a year, the farmers who know that they suffered a loss will be very dissatisfied. Plus, they want to put their main base in Eight Corner Village, so I have some doubts about their goal. Therefore, the West Nong Group wasn't too active in the acquisition of land. Now that the West Nong Group has decided to give up their investment in Qiu Shan County, the county is pushing the responsibility to me. Your appearance has solved my problem, "Xia Wanxiao said gratefully.
"County Head Xia, we are old friends. No need to be so polite," I smiled.
"Then don't call me County Head Xia. I'm older than you, so I'll pretend to be older. You can just call me Xia jie," Xia Wanxiao smiled.
"Xia jie. This is Uncle Lin. He will be responsible for the management of this farmland. He will be in charge of the specific matters. However, don't worry. The purpose of our land acquisition is to develop agriculture here. We won't change the use of the land. Our investment won't be less than that of the West Nong Group. "I could guarantee this. We already had a certain understanding of the so-called West Nong Group. In terms of wealth, the West Nong Group wasn't enough. Just the value of the haunted house's property had far surpassed the West Nong Group. Not to mention, the Yang Sect had lost a large part of their property. That was why Lin Yi's father urged me to wantonly acquire land.
