Chapter 167 Buying land
The so-called sweeping the ground means cleaning all the flat ground used for drying rice in the village. This is a huge workload, and all the stones and weeds must be cleared away, and then rinsed with water, so that the rice dried on the clean flat ground will have less sand content.
Normally, whoever dries the grains would do the cleaning, but now these people were assigned the task, and the villagers cheered.
However, there were many people who talked nonsense this time, and once the work was assigned, the severity of the punishment was greatly reduced. Uncle Lan felt that it was not enough, so he arranged for them to clean all the threshing machines.
This was also a job that required a lot of work, and it successfully made this group of gossipers look miserable.
I believe that after this incident, they will not dare to be so unscrupulous when talking nonsense.
After saying these things, Uncle Lan began to arrange the shifts and take turns to dry the millet.
This time it was much more lively, with everyone in the village participating. In the end, the uncle was allowed to follow past experience and arrange shifts for threshing and drying the rice according to the harvest time and the amount of rice. No one in the village disagreed with this.
Their village had a good arrangement. Like other villages, every household had to harvest and dry rice, but there wasn't much flat land with little sand for drying the rice in the village, so every time this happened, they would fight over the land.
If their Lanjia Village had made arrangements early on, such a thing would not have happened.
After talking about the rice harvest, the villagers thought the meeting was about to end, but Uncle Lan pulled out another map.
Lan Xin looked at the map under the dim light, and it looked particularly familiar.
This is a map of the land at the foot of Mount Sanqing.
Her mood began to jump and she became excited.
Sure enough, Uncle Lan cleared his throat and said, "This is a piece of land in our village at the foot of Sanqing Mountain..."
Perhaps the result of the discussion was reached, Uncle Lan spoke in a very official tone this time, and did not forget to mention the possible future development of the land.
After getting the news from Lan Xin, their village cadres would go to Sanqing Mountain to check from time to time. They did not go through the back mountain, but went up from the front mountain road.
As they walked along the road, they saw people coming and going. Uncle Lan knew at that time that what Lan Xin said would definitely come true.
Sanqing Mountain is a treasure trove for their Lanjia Village.
When they heard Uncle Lan's words, the villagers of Lanjia Village, who had been indifferent, changed their expressions. They could not help but sit up straight and listen carefully to what Uncle Lan said.
When people heard that the price of this land was higher than other land in the village, there was still a lot of gossip.
"A piece of land in this mountain is so much more expensive than the land in this village."
The person who was mumbling had obviously never been to Sanqing Mountain to see what the situation was like. He thought it was still a remote mountain area with only a few tourists sneaking in to burn incense from time to time.
The villagers who had followed Lan Qing to Sanqing Mountain in the morning to check out the situation also felt that the price was too high. They did not share Lan Xin's idea of opening a store.
I only had one thought: there were so many people in Sanqing Mountain and it was easy to sell things. They could just take their things there and set up a small stall. Why would they need to buy the land at the foot of the mountain?
Land is so expensive now, and you have to build a house when the time comes. You can't earn as much as walking around selling goods by running a store all day. This is a waste of money and thankless.
Although the people in front of the ancestral hall began to take an interest in Sanqing Mountain and looked at it with admiration, it was still impossible for them to make up their minds to buy the land at the foot of the mountain at this moment.
Uncle Lan, who was standing by, saw this and gave him some earnest advice. The same words that Lan Xin had used to persuade him at the beginning were now being used by him.
However, these villagers are not him. They do not have his foresight and cannot see through the mystery. They just think that Uncle Lan is lying.
Uncle Lan sighed helplessly. He wanted to lead the whole village to prosperity, but no one believed in him.
His eyes had no choice but to fall on Lan Xin, who was looking eagerly, hoping that she would act as a backup.
Lan Xin was of course very tactful. She stood up immediately and said with a smile, "Village Party Secretary, I want to buy land!"
“Buy the land at the foot of Sanqing Mountain!”
"Okay!" Uncle Lan responded crisply.
When the others heard Lan Xin's words, they looked at her in shock. Is this true? Is she a fake?
Lan Xin didn't care what these people thought. He waved to the brothers Lan Qing and Lan Ze behind him, and they quickly followed and spoke.
"I want to buy it too!"
The villagers began to waver when a group of people were talking in unison. With so many people looking at this, could it be possible that this land could really make money? However, when they thought about the price Uncle Lan had mentioned, they began to hesitate again.
The uncle smiled from ear to ear, and did not force the villagers to make a decision immediately. Instead, he said, "I will just remind everyone that this piece of land is definitely a good place, and you will definitely not lose money."
"Go back and think about it carefully, then come back to me when you've made up your mind."
These matters will be concluded at this meeting.
After the meeting, the others went home, while Lan Xin followed Uncle Lan to the office.
As the first person to buy land, Lan Xin had the right of first choice and could directly enclose all the land that she had previously favored.
Lan Xin was not short of money, so she bought the right to use 200 acres of land at one time, with the term extended to a maximum of 70 years.
The price is relatively high for other villagers, but Lan Xin knows that compared with other places where every inch of land is valuable, the price is still very cheap.
Two hundred yuan per acre, 200 acres of land only cost 4 yuan in total. Lan Xin felt that she had made a fortune.
I signed the contract immediately, and will pay the money tomorrow and go through the formalities.
Everyone in the office was stunned to see Lan Xin being so decisive, but Lan Xin smiled as if she had picked up money.
After her own problems were solved, Lan Xin turned to look at Lan Qing and the others. Although they did not have much money to buy the land, they did not have much money.
Most of the money he had was earned from selling tea eggs in the past few days, but it was only a few hundred yuan, which was enough to buy one or two acres of land.
Uncle Lan caught the big fish, Lan Xin, and didn't care much about Lan Qing and the others. He waved his hand and said.
"When you have enough money, you can buy it later."
They are not forcing the villagers to pay for the land right now, they are just telling everyone the idea and telling everyone that Sanqing Mountain can make money.
In the end, it was Lan Qing who bought two acres of land. The two brothers Lan Ze and Lan He planned to pool their money together and buy another one after a while.
They now have enough money to buy one or two acres of land, but the family still needs money to eat. They plan to wait until some time later, when they can borrow some money or continue to sell tea eggs and make money before making a decision.
Lan Qing and his brothers now believe in Lan Xin unconditionally. If she says she can make money, then she can definitely make money, and none of them want to fall behind.
I was full of energy, thinking that I had to finish harvesting the rice quickly and then continue selling tea eggs to make money.
