Chapter 816 Small Land Acquisition Compensation Conference
The next day, they harvested Gastrodia elata and Psoralea corylifolia together. Chunyu and others went to help. The work, which totaled only four acres, was completed in less than half a day.
In the afternoon, Shopkeeper Qin personally brought people to get the medicinal materials. He didn't have that much cash, so he had to transfer it from the provincial capital, so he wrote an IOU to Qiao Xuan first.
Qiao Xuan didn't care and accepted it readily.
This was the first time that Shopkeeper Qin visited Qiao Xuan's garden.
When they entered, they were stunned, drooling with envy, and kept praising. They also took away a lot of good things, such as white fungus, shiitake mushrooms, sugarcane, pineapple, papaya, grapes, pears, lemons, pomegranates and other fruits.
And he repeatedly reminded me to leave him a few more Buddha's hands this year!
Also, when the other fruit trees bear fruit next year, don’t forget to give him a share.
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed, feeling a little guilty. The last time she went to the city, she forgot to bring some fresh fruit for Shopkeeper Qin.
The twenty acres of wasteland next to the flower field have been reclaimed by people hired from the village. A total of ten people were hired and they were paid thirty-five cents a day.
It is quite troublesome to reclaim wasteland. First of all, we need to clear away the weeds, shrubs and trees on it. The most important thing is to remove the roots of trees and shrubs. It is not easy to remove them.
The ground has been cleaned up, and now it's time to cultivate it.
Fortunately, it is the slack season for farmers now and the weather is much cooler, so Qiao Xuan and the others are not in a hurry and can do the work step by step.
At present, twenty mu of land is not enough. Since the lipstick can no longer be covered, it is better to increase the output. Cassava also needs to be planted in large quantities.
Qiao Xuan did some calculations and decided that buying another 500 acres would be enough. She couldn't manage any more.
These lands are connected to the original flower fields, and it is easier to manage them on a large scale than scattered ones. But if we expand the surrounding area by about 500 acres, it will not be all wasteland, and about 200 acres will be owned.
Qiao Xuan asked her mother-in-law to accompany her and asked the head of the village to help gather the sixteen families involved to discuss the land purchase.
A small land acquisition compensation meeting was held.
Mountains are not valuable and the yield of crops grown on them is limited. Every household has reclaimed a lot of mountain land. If not much, they would not be able to harvest much.
Qiao Xuan didn't waste any time and simply expressed her opinion to the villagers.
She wanted their land, but would give them adequate compensation.
The current market price of one mu of mountain land is about four taels of silver per mu if it is wasteland, and about three taels per mu for sloped mountain land with poor terrain. The cultivated land that has been cultivated and planted is five taels per mu, and the better ones are less than six taels.
Because these mountains are basically cultivated land, only about 20 to 30 acres of wasteland that have not been cultivated yet were purchased. However, Qiao Xuan did not make a detailed breakdown and charged all prices according to the cultivated land price.
Twelve taels of silver per acre.
When these words were spoken, all the villagers stared with their eyes wide open in shock!
"ah?"
"How much?"
"Twelve taels? Did I hear it right?"
"That's right, I heard it was also twelve taels!"
"This is not a joke, right?"
"yes!"
Even if it is cooked rehmannia, it is not worth so much money.
After getting Qiao Xuan's affirmative answer, it exploded again, and the villagers immediately started to make a lot of noise.
Of course I am willing to do this! If you are not willing, you are a fool!
Sell it here at twelve taels per mu, and then immediately buy some wasteland.
