So he borrowed a large sum of money from Mrs. Sheng and contracted the entire mountain forest.
Back then, forests could still be contracted out.
When the contract was signed, the village chief and villagers were invited to witness the signing and to make payments together.
Those villagers also moved out, since there was no harvest in the mountains, so it was better to go out and work to earn money.
