The wasteland in the mountains behind Izumo Village has not been contracted out over the years.
Because the land was all gravel, with not even a single blade of grass growing. It was like a desert, and whoever got it was the loser.
A few years ago, due to the request of the superiors, the village once said that whoever leases the land will not only get it for free, but also enjoy a subsidy of 100 kilograms of chemical fertilizer per acre. The prerequisite is that the land must be planted.
That's it, still no one wants to contract.
It can be said that Lu Fan's proposal to contract the land has solved a relatively big problem in the village. If he is sure of it, there should be no obstacles.
But unexpectedly, Wang Shouren was very disgusted with Lu Fan because of Wang Dabao's embellished narration at home. When he saw Lu Fan coming and wanted to contract the land in the village, he naturally refused without thinking.
Of course, as the village chief, even if he wanted to refuse Lu Fan's land lease, he would have other options, such as raising the land price.
The rent for the most productive land in the village will not exceed one thousand yuan a year, usually seven to eight hundred yuan. The price of wasteland is only cheaper.
But Wang Shouren shouted a high price of 1,500 yuan per acre, which was completely embarrassing.
In this way, whether Lu Fan occupies this land or not, he will be very proud.
He didn't take Lu Fan's doubts too seriously.
"Lu Fan, you have to know that things are different now. Land is very precious now. If such a big place were in a big city, it would be worth hundreds of millions!"
Fortunately, this shameless guy was able to say it. He even compared the wasteland in the back mountain with the commercial land in the big city. After such a comparison, his contract price was simply too cheap.
"Village Chief, let me ask you, are you sure that the contract price must be 1,500 yuan?" Lu Fan was too lazy to talk to him.
"That's right, it's 1,500 yuan per acre. If you give me the money, I'll give you the contract. If you don't have the money, don't even think about it!" Wang Shouren's attitude was also very tough.
"Okay, that's it. This is 50,000 yuan. See how much land you can buy!" Lu Fan directly slapped the 50,000 yuan on the table.
Wang Shouren was stunned. He didn't expect that this kid could agree to his harsh conditions.
There won't be any problems here, right?
The thought passed away in a flash.
What could be wrong? It's just a barren mountain. It's not like no one has taken care of it. Nothing can grow at all. What's there to be afraid of?
"Okay, as long as you give me the money, I'll cover it for you!" Wang Shouren took a calculator and started doing calculations.
"One thousand and fifty-one acres. For 50,000 yuan, you can rent a total of 33.33 acres. Since you rent so much at one time, I will give you a discount. Let's count it as 33.5 acres."
Lu Fan didn't bother to argue with him over such a trivial matter, so he agreed directly.
However, Wang Shouren did not give him the contract so happily.
Because the area of the back mountain slope is very large, far more than 33 acres, such a piece of land must be set aside.
Wang Shouren also went to great lengths to demarcate the land. The slopes of the back mountains were already very desolate, and he also asked people to specially select areas with many rocks to demarcate. The land assigned to Lu Fan can be regarded as a wasteland among wastelands.
If such a piece of land is contracted to Lu Fan, he can basically be sure that this kid will never make a penny.
If you dare to offend the Wang family, don't even think about gaining a foothold in Izumo Village!
Lu Fan was quite satisfied, because in order to give him all the bad land, Wang Shouren allocated a larger area.
He could feel that the land allocated to him now should be about thirty-five acres, and he had made a small profit.
As for the land being all sand and rocks and nothing growing at all, that's not a problem at all.
Lu Fan directly signed the contract, and the land would be his within one year.
After Wang Shouren left with the people from the village committee, he tidied up the land a little.
There are too many rocks and it is difficult to walk, let alone farm.
Lu Fan spent an entire afternoon leveling his thirty-five acres of land.
This workload is quite astonishing. You must know that thirty-five acres of land is about the size of three football fields. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three people to clear all the rocks and other things on such a large area of land for a week. .
But Lu Fan himself finished the matter in just one afternoon.
He is like a humanoid machine, infinitely powerful and tireless.
He can pick up a large stone half a man's height and walk away. He doesn't need any tools to pull out a stone buried in the soil and throw it aside.
The wasteland that has been pruned is still wasteland, but it looks much more comfortable.
Let's stop here today and come back tomorrow to plant medicinal materials in the ground.
Lu Fan threw away the last stone, clapped his hands and went down the mountain to go home.
When I first entered the village, I met a few villagers, and they looked at him with something a little wrong.
He didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the fact that he took out hundreds of thousands yesterday was a bit shocking. Now he is also a celebrity in the village, and it is normal for others to pay attention to him.
Lu Fan returned home all the way. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Liu Yun sitting in the main room with a gloomy face, seemingly sulking.
"What's wrong with sister-in-law? Did you make her angry by being naughty?"
He didn't dare to touch his sister-in-law's bad luck, but pulled her over to ask.
"How can I make my sister-in-law angry if I'm so good?" Lu Ling was very dissatisfied. "It's not all you. I heard that you spent fifty thousand to cover the barren hill behind the village. It spread all afternoon. Now our family You have become the laughing stock of the whole village!”
Lu Fan didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly. In just one afternoon, the whole village knew about it.
"But this won't make my sister-in-law so angry, right?"
Lu Ling shook his head: "Why not? You have to know that my sister-in-law is currently looking for a partner for you. As soon as this incident came out, the matchmakers who had agreed to it all reneged on their promises. Several matchmakers came to the door in the afternoon. It’s really unpleasant for someone to talk about this matter!”
Only then did Lu Fan realize that his sister-in-law was not angry about her taking care of Huangshan. She was angry about asking for a wife, or because of other people's gossip.
However, when his sister-in-law was angry, he would always try to persuade her.
"Sister-in-law, don't be too angry. Those who say bad things about our family now will regret it soon!"
"Really?" Liu Yunqingli's face was filled with anger, "Do you know what they are saying now? They say that our Lu family has a prodigal son! They say that your Lu Fan's money is not legitimate, so you spend it indiscriminately! They also say Said, and said..." Those people said a lot more ugly things, but she couldn't say any more.
