"Go to the Revenue Department and have him spread the word, encouraging the people to reclaim the wasteland. The wasteland will be owned by the people, and you will provide the money. Have the people sign a contract with you. For five years, only peanuts will be grown on the wasteland, and the peanuts will be sold exclusively to you.
