Chapter 160 Buying the Land at the Foot of Qiu Mountain
After hearing this, Tu Subo's eyes flashed with doubt. He frowned and said, "Xuanxuan, it's easy for you to say that, but after the harvest, how to store the grain, how to transport it, and how to sell it are all problems. If not handled properly, it may even cause losses."
Gu Yuexuan gently patted Tu Subo's hand and smiled, "Tu Subo, I know what you're worried about. Regarding grain storage, we can build granaries to ensure its safety. As for transportation, we can utilize the village's labor force and organize a transport team. As for sales, I can personally contact buyers. With our high-quality grain, I'm sure we can fetch a good price."
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this, but he was still a little worried: "Xuanxuan, your strength is limited after all. If you really want to implement this plan, I'm afraid it will require the joint efforts of the entire village."
Gu Yuexuan nodded, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes: "You are right, I will go gather the villagers and explain our plan to everyone, and strive to gain their support."
After saying that, Gu Yuexuan stood up, straightened her clothes, and prepared to gather the villagers.
After a while, Gu Yuexuan brought a group of villagers back to Yuanqian Village.
Standing in the square at the entrance of the village, she said loudly to the villagers, "Fellow villagers, I have an idea. I want to increase our grain production through greenhouse cultivation so that everyone can live a good life. However, this plan requires everyone's joint efforts. Are you willing to support me?"
The villagers nodded in agreement, expressing their willingness to support Gu Yuexuan's plan. Under Gu Yuexuan's leadership, the villagers began to build granaries, organize transportation teams, and contact buyers. Everything proceeded smoothly.
…
The next day.
Tu Subo pondered for a long time before he raised his head and said to his silent grandfather, "Grandfather, I think we should expand the cultivated area and utilize greenhouse technology to increase grain production. This way, we can not only provide for our family but also reap huge economic benefits."
The old grandfather frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "A greenhouse? That's a very expensive thing. Our family has limited resources. Can we afford it?"
A glint of determination flashed in Tu Subo's eyes as he said, "Grandfather, I believe this is feasible. Although greenhouse technology requires a large initial investment, in the long run, it will allow us to grow vegetables and grains even in winter, greatly increasing yields. Furthermore, I've observed the surrounding villages and found that many families are trying this method."
The old grandfather pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Since you are sure, then tell me your plan."
Seeing his grandfather's change of heart, Tu Subo immediately began explaining the principles and benefits of the greenhouse in detail. He spoke so clearly that his grandfather was gradually infected by his enthusiasm.
"Grandfather, if we can buy the fertile land behind the hill and build a few greenhouses, I believe the output will double." Tu Subo said confidently.
The old grandfather was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Bo'er, do you know the origin of that fertile land?"
Tu Subo shook his head: "I only know that the land is fertile and suitable for planting."
A complex look flashed across the old grandfather's eyes, and he slowly said, "That piece of land was originally inherited from our family, but due to the war, we were forced to sell it to the village chief. When I was young, I tried many times to redeem the land, but for various reasons I was unable to do so."
Tu Subo looked at his grandfather in surprise. He didn't expect that the fertile land had such a deep origin.
"Grandfather, if you are willing, I can go with you to see the village chief to discuss redeeming the land." Tu Subo said firmly.
The old grandfather was silent for a moment, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Okay, since you are so determined, let's go see the village chief."
After saying that, the old grandfather stood up, straightened his clothes, and took Tu Subo to the village chief's house.
On the way, Tu Subo was very excited. He knew that the success of the land redemption negotiation would directly affect the realization of his greenhouse plan.
Arriving at the village chief's house, the old grandfather and Tu Subo were ushered into the living room. The village chief was a kind middle-aged man. Seeing the old grandfather coming in person, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Old man, what brings you here today? Just tell me if you have anything to say." The village chief said with a smile.
The old grandfather smiled slightly and said, "Village Chief, I want to discuss with you the fertile land behind the hill."
The village chief's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting the grandfather to bring up this topic. He pondered for a moment and said, "Old man, you know, that piece of fertile land is my dearest love. I won't give it up easily."
Tu Subo stood up and said, "Village Chief, we are not trying to buy that piece of fertile land from you, but to redeem it. That land originally belonged to our family, but we were forced to sell it to you because of the war."
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Bo'er, are you kidding? Redemption? That was decades ago. The value of that fertile land is no longer the same now."
A hint of determination flashed in Tu Subo's eyes, and he said, "Village Chief, we are willing to pay the corresponding price, we only ask that you agree."
The old grandfather also added: "Village Chief, you know that piece of fertile land has special meaning to our family. If it can be redeemed, I am willing to buy it at a price higher than the market price."
The village chief pondered for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes. He looked at the old grandfather, then at Tu Subo, and finally nodded. "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will agree to redeem that piece of fertile land."
Tu Subo and his grandfather looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
The success of this negotiation means that their greenhouse plan will soon be realized.
Subsequently, the two parties agreed on the specific redemption matters and signed the contract under the witness of the village chief.
As soon as Gu Yuexuan went out, she found that Tu Subo had left home with his grandfather and was heading towards the village chief's house.
Gu Yuexuan looked at the backs of her husband Tu Subo and grandfather, feeling uneasy. She quickened her pace and hurried to catch up.
Gu Yuexuan crossed the village path and arrived at the village chief's house. She saw Tu Subo and her grandfather sitting in the yard with the village chief, the three of them talking in low voices.
Gu Yuexuan walked into the yard and greeted the village chief with a smile: "Village chief, what are you talking about? It's so mysterious."
When the village chief saw Gu Yuexuan coming in, an awkward smile appeared on his face: "Oh, Gu Yuexuan, we were talking about some land matters."
Gu Yuexuan walked over to Tu Subo and his grandfather. Seeing their serious expressions, she felt increasingly uneasy. "Land? Are you planning to buy the land behind Qiushan Mountain?"
Tu Subo was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes, we do have this idea."
Gu Yuexuan frowned. "Do you know the price of that piece of land? We had a problem with poisonous weeds on our land before, and now we don't even have enough food to eat. Why did you want to buy that piece of land?"
