Chapter 210 Missing the Opportunity to Get Rich Quick
Several cars suddenly stopped at the entrance of the village that day, and then people started taking tools to measure.
"What are you doing here?" Some inquisitive villagers stopped and walked over to ask, "Comrades! Which unit are you from? What are you doing here?"
The staff looked around and said, "The county plans to build a road, and this area needs to be expanded outwards. Where is your village chief? There are some things we need to discuss with them."
Upon hearing this, the man quickly led him to find Liu Dafa.
The news of road construction spread like wildfire in Jiangjuntun! Before the county leaders even came out of Liu Dafa's office, a large crowd had already gathered outside the village committee.
"I think this saline-alkali land is going to be taken over." Several old men puffed on their pipes and pondered together, "If the government takes the land, do you think they'll give us some kind of compensation?"
"Of course! If we don't give subsidies, how are farmers supposed to survive? There has to be an explanation for using farmers' land."
"So, the Liu family actually benefited from this misfortune? That land clearly belonged to Li Datong and Wang Erfei, but they refused it because they didn't want it."
"That's right. The village chief's family is very sensible. They gave away their good land to others, so they deserve to benefit from it."
Just then, Li Datong also rushed over to see what was going on. Upon hearing this, he became anxious and asked, "What did you say? Which piece of land needs road construction? And there's even a subsidy?"
Several old men quickly said, "That's not necessarily true. People from the county have come and are talking to the village chief."
Li Datong said "Oh" with a furrowed brow.
His thinking was that even if the land was for government use, there would be no compensation, meaning the Liu family's land would be taken for nothing. Therefore, exchanging land with the Liu family was a wise move; otherwise, he would be the one who ultimately suffers the loss.
"Just watch, the country will use your stuff for free." Li Datong snorted. He figured he couldn't let the Liu family benefit from this.
As a result, after the county leaders came out of the village committee, they quickly issued a document regarding the land use for road construction.
This document was issued uniformly by the county. All those who used farmers' land are eligible for a subsidy standard of 10,000 yuan per mu, which is a one-time buyout.
Ten thousand yuan per mu! That was an astronomical figure back then. In an era when even households with a thousand yuan were rare, ten thousand yuan, my goodness! That's enough to build a dozen houses.
Besides, he's lazy and doesn't want to work anyway. With this money, he can live a life of luxury for the rest of his days! He won't even have to worry about finding a wife for his son.
Upon hearing this, Li Datong was naturally outraged. This was clearly his right to receive it, how could it be given to the Liu family!
He immediately led the other two households to the village committee and sat down at the entrance, refusing to leave.
"Liu Dafa, come out here! You have to give us an explanation today!" Li Datong rambled on and on, acting like a madman. "This land clearly belongs to me! It was your Liu family who used tricks to take what should have been mine!"
"You should give me the benefits I'm getting now! Come out here! I'm not going to let this go to waste!"
The other two households chimed in, "Brother Datong is right. Your Liu family must have heard about the road construction, so they offered to switch with us!"
The Liu family and Su Xu and Liu Nian were about to sign an agreement at the village committee and the road construction bureau when the comrade listening to them felt increasingly uneasy. He stopped the agreement and said, "What I heard from the villagers outside seems to suggest there's something fishy going on."
This comrade was quite cautious; he had actually encountered this kind of situation before, so he had to pause and wait until he understood the situation before signing.
