Chapter 817 Who is cheating people for real money?
We can take advantage of the slack season to reclaim the land. Although it will be a little hard work, it will not affect next year's planting at all.
Although the land is still green and various wild grasses and weeds will grow a lot in the first two or three years after planting crops, what does it matter?
If there are weeds, just weed them! It just takes a little more effort.
After about three years of tending, the land will be ready for cultivation.
By this calculation, one mu of land could earn eight taels of silver, ten mu would earn eighty taels. For a farm of ten or twenty mu, it would earn one or two hundred taels.
Where can I find hundreds of taels of silver in two or three years?
Especially those who had some land that was still barren and had not been cultivated for various reasons, they were all grinning and vying with each other to agree, fearing that they would be rejected by Qiao Xuan if it was too late.
Once they took the lead, other families also became anxious and expressed their agreement to sell the land on the spot.
There were also a few families who were usually quite shrewd. They asked tentatively with a smile: "Sister Fang, niece-in-law, why did your family buy so much land? Could it be to make a lot of money?"
The others were also stunned.
"Yes, why else would it cost so much?"
"Tell us about it, too!"
Qiao Xuan smiled generously and said, "We bought this land to make money. We won't do a business that loses money. The main thing is that it can be connected to the original land, which makes it easier to manage. If you are willing to sell it, then sell it. If not, we can buy another piece of mountain land somewhere else. Although it is a bit troublesome to manage, it is not a big problem."
"As for this profitable business, I cannot tell you. Besides, even if I tell you, you can't make this money."
"As for the high price, it's just because we are all from the same village, so I'm giving everyone a small subsidy."
"Don't worry about this. We'll give you two days to make a decision. But after two days, it will be invalid. If you want to sell it again, we won't buy it."
"Of course, you can sell it now, but you can't regret it after you sell it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to start the land preparation work later."
As soon as Qiao Xuan finished speaking, the place was buzzing with discussion.
Except for seven or eight families who said they would trade on the spot, the others adopted a wait-and-see attitude, saying they would go back and discuss it with their families, and then go to the Shao family's main house to discuss it tomorrow.
Qiao Xuan agreed very readily.
So, these seven or eight families signed the contract on the spot, handed the land deeds to Qiao Xuan, took the banknotes and silver, and went back happily.
The family that sold the most land sold 23 acres, and about 6 acres of land had not yet been cultivated. This made a total profit of 276 taels!
If he went back and bought about 20 mu of wasteland, it would only cost him 80 taels, making a net profit of nearly 200 taels.
It was enough to greatly improve the family's life.
The silver notes in his hand greatly stimulated everyone, so four more families said they would sell them on the spot.
The other few families wanted to sell but were hesitant. They repeatedly confirmed with Qiao Xuan that they would wait for two days before going back.
After the deal was done, Qiao Xuan went home with Fang, carrying a stack of deeds. Fang couldn't help but say, "I don't know why those people are still hesitating about such a good thing. They have so many problems! They are from the same village, so they think they are being cheated. Who would cheat people for real money? Of course, we bought the land to make a fortune, but they don't have that ability, so they can't be jealous!"
It's the weekend again! Please give me a ticket~
