The village chief left quickly and came back quickly.

He hurried over with a cowhide bag in his hand, which looked like it was purely handmade.

"Xiao Che, I've brought all your things. Come sit down and tell Grandpa what your plans are."

The old village chief put the cowhide bag on the table and opened it carefully.

The cowhide bag is wrapped very well, and the surface of the cowhide is smooth and shiny.

You can tell at a glance that the old village chief wipes it frequently. From this you can see how much the village chief values ​​these things.

The materials inside are all wrapped in oil paper, and the moisture-proof and anti-corrosion work is also done well.

When the oil-paper package was opened, it contained the village chief’s identification card and information about the fields in Huaxi Village.

The material is only slightly yellowed, without any damage, and is smooth and ironed.

There weren't even any mouse bite marks. Jiang Che had to admire it.

Given the climatic conditions in Huaxi, it is not easy to preserve it so well.

There was also a small wooden box. The old village chief solemnly opened it and found the village's official seal inside.

"Thank you for your hard work, Village Chief. The wasteland and hilltops in the village should belong to the village's collective land, right?"

"I contracted these lands. Don't I need to tell the villagers about it?"

Jiang Che thought about it and asked with some confusion.

"What do those old guys in the village know? I'll just go say hello to them later."

The old village chief waved his hand nonchalantly. He basically had the final say on village affairs now, and the village committee was just a decoration in Huaxi Village.

Most of those who have a little bit of strength and brains have gone out to work, and now he is the only village cadre left without any support.

There are only a few elderly people in the village who can recognize a single word, and they won’t understand even if you speak.

Besides, Jiang Che is just like his grandson. He would never cheat himself, so there is nothing to worry about.

Jiang Che smiled. The village chief really took care of himself!

"Okay then, Grandpa Village Chief, I plan to contract all of South Mountain, North Mountain, West Mountain, and both sides of Huaxi River."

"Can you tell me roughly how large this wasteland is and how much it will cost?"

The old village chief nodded, put on his reading glasses, and began to rummage through a pile of materials.

It contains information about the village’s land area and documents issued by the Forestry Bureau.

After searching for a while, the old village chief's eyes lit up and he pulled out two pieces of information.

"Xiao Che, there's no problem on both sides of Huaxi River. Grandpa can make the decision for you."

"But the hills are a bit troublesome. These hills are under the management of the Forestry Bureau. They cannot be cut down indiscriminately or damage the environment. What are you doing here, Xiao Che?"

After reading the document, the old village chief looked up and asked.

"Grandpa Village Chief, we can't cut down trees, but that kind of tree should be fine, right? I'm planning to contract these hills to plant some fruit trees in the future. What do you think?"

Jiang Che smiled and said that so many fruit trees in the Worry-Free Space were thriving and he believed that they would grow up in just a few months.

When the time comes, plant them separately and you will have an endless supply of fruit seedlings.

When the time comes, all these hills will be planted with fruit trees. It would be wonderful to think about the fragrance of fruits and vegetables in Huaxi when the season comes.

"That's not a problem. The Fruit Planting and Forestry Bureau will definitely not say anything."

"I took a look. The wasteland on the top of the mountain and on both sides of Huaxi River is about 3,000 mu. Grandpa Xiaoche will give you the lowest price of 20 per mu."

"It's not that Grandpa doesn't want to give you a low price, but these wastelands still need to be reported to the Forestry Bureau. I'm afraid they won't agree if the price is too low. Xiao Che, do you think this price is acceptable to you?"

The village chief looked at Jiang Che somewhat embarrassedly. It was difficult to talk about money among family members.

"Grandpa Village Chief, you don't have to do this. I have money on me, and twenty is too low. The price of wasteland has increased a lot these days."

"Grandpa Village Head, don't worry about it. How about this? I'll contract the 3,000 mu of wasteland for five years at 50 yuan per mu, and I'll keep the right to renew the lease."

"In the future, land in Huaxi Village will definitely be extremely valuable. If the rent is too low, people in the village will inevitably say that you are abusing your power for personal gain, and that will make it difficult for you to do anything."

Jiang Che thought for a moment and said, once his vegetables are on the market, someone will definitely come looking for him.

Including villagers who work outside will return to the village one after another. The elderly in the village are relatively simple and may not say anything.

But the villagers who have returned from working outside and have seen the intrigues and deceptions of the people can no longer say for sure.

Jiang Che didn't want to take advantage of anyone. The money was what it was. Anyway, the money would eventually be used for the construction of Huaxi Village.

"Let's see who dares?!"

"From now on, if any jerk dares to gossip about anyone who comes back from outside, don't worry, I will be the first one to not let him go."

After hearing what Jiang Che said, the old village chief suddenly slammed the table in anger.

Jiang Che hurriedly stepped forward, patted the old village chief's back, and comforted him to sit down, speaking hurriedly.

"Grandpa Village Chief, don't be angry. This matter is still uncertain."

"Let's stick with this price. It will be easier for you to explain when you go to the town to report it later."

The old village chief sighed, patted Jiang Che on the shoulder and nodded.

"Good boy, okay, then I'll do as you say."

As he spoke, the old village chief began to draft the lease agreement, and Jiang Che signed and put his fingerprints on it.

It was embarrassing when the village chief stamped the document because the ink had dried up due to not being used for a long time.

I also found some clean water to soak it for a while before using it, and just like that, a handwritten lease contract was ready.
