After waiting for less than twenty minutes, everyone in the village who was at home walked over.
The location of each meeting was the same, in the big square of the village.
The large square in the village had many uses. It was usually a gathering place for the young and old. When they had nothing to do, they would chat here.
When the autumn harvest came, this place would become a place to harvest rice.
In the Li family village, machines could not enter at all, so everything depended on manpower.
The villagers would cut the rice and put it in the big square, then go from house to house to harvest the rice.
It was to spread out the rice and then hit it with a rake. Beat out the rice inside.
There were also rollers when the soybeans were being beaten. This roller was a huge cylinder. Put a rod through the middle of the cylinder. He used the old bull to pull it and pressed it on the pile of soybeans. Squeeze the soybeans out.
After it was shot out, it was lifted up into the sky by the wind. Let the wind blow away the dust, leaving behind the soybeans.
This was also known as raising in the countryside! (Every place might have different names.) That's what my family used to call it, but now it's all machines, and there's very little manpower.）
He followed the village chief's uncle to the big square. There were already many people gathered here. Every family had at least one person here for a meeting.
"Uncle, what's the matter? It had been a long time since he had a meeting, right?”
"Yeah, it's probably about the land. Didn't we use the land to invest in the company?”
"I guess that's it. I don't know if it'll work. If it works, I'll call my son and ask him to come back. I haven't seen my grandson for two years!”
"What's wrong with that? Jiahao is a doctor.”
"Doctor! And it's still going on."
"Yes, yes, post-doctor. Look, someone spent 30 million to buy a big ship and dredge the river. This was a total of 40 million yuan. If it didn't work, why would Jiahao invest so much money?”
"That's true. With so much money, all the people in our village combined can't even take out one-tenth!”
"If it were me, with so much money, I definitely wouldn't come back in the city!”
"That's you. Jiahao has already resigned from his university professor position.”
"Alright, alright, Jiahao is here. Let's hear what Jiahao has to say!”A group of people gathered together to discuss the theme of the meeting.
"Alright, everyone, calm down. There's something good to tell everyone in this meeting! And it's a great thing." The village chief walked over and sat on the stone roller. He clapped his hands and signaled for everyone to quieten down.
"Our family's Hao not only bought our land, but he also contracted the 3,500 mu of wasteland at the back of the mountain. The annual rent was 700,000 yuan. Ninety-nine years!" The village chief said directly.
"How much? 700,000 a year?"
"Oh my god, did you hear wrongly? 700,000 a year? 99 years?"
"How much is this?"
After hearing the village chief's words, everyone exploded. That piece of land had been abandoned for twenty to thirty years. In the eighties and nineties, when there were many people in the village, they still needed that piece of land to feed their families.
However, over the years, the villagers kept moving to the city. Even the black land across the river was almost half abandoned. Not to mention the land behind the mountain. Now, this wasteland could actually be sold for 700,000 yuan a year. This was simply like picking up money for free.
"Alright, quiet down. Let Jiahao speak.”The village chief clapped his hands again. Everyone quieted down.
"I've contracted the land at the back of the mountain, and I'm paying a one-time contract fee of seven million yuan for ten years. This money is our common property. Each household would get a few hundred thousand. As for those who moved away, they had contributed to the land reclamation. In a while, the village chief's uncle would give them a call. If they were willing to come back, they would be given a share. If they were not willing to come back, they would not be given a share. Don't give me any money."
"Every family will get a share of this money. However, we will leave a portion of it for our village to repair the roads first!”Li Jiahao said.
"Our development direction is the tourist area. Therefore, if we want to be rich, we have to build roads first. Furthermore, this road had to be near the seaside. Does anyone have any objections?" Li Jiahao asked the people below.
After hearing Li Jiahao's words, many people began to study it. If the road was built, everyone would definitely benefit. However, if they did not build the road, there would be a total of 350 people in the village. In that case, everyone would receive 200,000 yuan as compensation.
This was only ten years. In the next ninety-nine years, one person would be able to get about two million yuan. A family of five was worth ten million. If he took this money, he would be able to live a comfortable life no matter where he went. There was no need to stay in the mountain village.
"I don't agree to build the road. Let's split the money directly! Was this money divided according to the number of households or the number of people?”One of them stood up and said. Li Jiahao knew this person too. He was a typical loafer in the village and was of the same generation as Li Jiahao's father. His name was Li Shengchun. He was in his forties this year and was still a bachelor.
Originally, he had a wife and children, but Li Shengchun would go to the casino in the city to play a few games when he had money. When he had no money, he would come back to fish and farm. Later on, the daughter-in-law really couldn't take it anymore, so she brought the child back to her mother's house.
Li Shengchun, who had no one to care about, became even more smug. Basically, he would go to the city every two or three days. He had gambled away the money he earned from selling the cicadas a few days ago.
"The money will definitely be divided by household! After all, some of us have participated in land reclamation, while others have not. However, basically every family has contributed a labor force. That's why we split it according to the household!" Li Jiahao's gaze turned cold as he said to Li Shengchun.
"Then I want money! In our village, there are a total of 150 households. Each household would have to spend 500,000 yuan a year! I don't want that much. Give me 400,000. For 99 years, I'll give you 4 million. Just give me the money. I don't want to build roads.”Li Shengchun said rudely.
"Yes, I need money too. I don't need to repair the roads. With this money, I can go directly to the city.”Another person stood up and echoed Li Shengchun.
"That's right. I only want four million. I don't want anything more.”
"Yes, I want money too. With this four million, I can buy five houses in the city. When the time comes, I'll collect the rent. Wouldn't that be wonderful?”
In an instant, many people stood up and asked for a direct share of the money. Moreover, they wanted ninety-nine years 'worth of money at once.
Li Jiahao felt a chill run down his spine.
