Peach Pit Landlord

This is a small village called Ningxia Village. It is located at the foot of Yuetang Mountain, more than 30 kilometers north of Wuxi City. From the map, it is almost close to Suzhou City. It is definitely an outlying suburb.

But in this small village, there is a large piece of land that Li Yuan dreamed of. He also passed by here unintentionally, and saw a large barren field, so he went into the village to ask, and was pleasantly surprised to know that this land had not been cultivated for a long time, and the village committee was planning to rent it out.

So under the guidance of an enthusiastic villager, Li Yuan found Chen Wenchuan, the village party secretary and head of Ningxia Village.

Chen Wenchuan looks to be in his sixties, but his waist is still straight, his voice is like a bell, and he is more energetic than many middle-aged people.

Knowing that Li Yuan wanted to rent the land in the village, Chen Wenchuan was also very happy. He took him directly to the land and introduced the situation of the land in detail.

"This piece of land goes south from this cement road, north to the foot of the mountain over there, east to the Ningxia River, west to the forest, and beyond that is Suzhou City." Chen Wenchuan pointed to the area in front of him. A piece of land said: "The wasteland near the woods is not counted. The area of ​​the cultivated land is 92 mu. If you want it, then you can contract it all. We can negotiate the price."

In fact, Li Yuan also knows that it is not easy to rent such a large piece of agricultural land in the Jiangnan area. If it weren't for the fact that Ningxia Village is too remote, and the transportation to this land is not very convenient, this land must have been rented out long ago, and Li Yuan would not be able to get it.

Moreover, Li Yuan is quite satisfied with this land. The scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers is good, and the area is large enough. As long as the cement road is widened a little, it is indeed a good place to grow vegetables.

So Li Yuan didn't hesitate too much, and said to Chen Wenchuan with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I don't want to lie to you, I am quite satisfied with this land. You can also give me a real price, and we don't want to Going around in circles, do you think this is okay?"

The reason why Li Yuan spoke so honestly was because he saw that Chen Wenchuan was also a real person. It is Li Yuan's experience that he should say what kind of words to the kind of people after suffering for several years.

Li Yuan's vision of seeing people is still very accurate, Chen Wenchuan is indeed a real person. Otherwise, the villagers of Ningxia Village would not have elected Chen Wenchuan as the village head, and would have given him full authority to handle the lease of the land.

To Chen Wenchuan, Li Yuan's words were very pleasant, so the old village chief nodded and said: "Well, it's better to go straight and save a lot of trouble. To tell you the truth, the village committee decided to lease this land , because many young people in the village have gone out to work, leaving some older villagers still in the village. The vegetables grown can’t be sold for much money, and after a year of hard work, they may lose money, so there is no People are willing to take care of this land any more, what a pity!"

Having said this, Chuan Chuan paused for a while, and then continued: "Young man, if you really want to contract this land, I won't ask for money randomly, and I will give you a price of conscience. The rent is five hundred yuan, the rent is paid every two years, and the contract can be signed for ten years!"

"Five hundred?" Hearing the conditions offered by the other party, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became ugly.

Seeing Li Yuan's face change, Chen Wenchuan couldn't help but frowned and said, "Young man, this is really a real price. Right now in our province, such cheap land can't be found anywhere else. If it weren't for the location of our village It’s too biased, even if it’s more expensive, it’s already been contracted by others, and it’s not your turn at all.”

Li Yuan also knew in his heart that Chen Wenchuan did not raise prices randomly. However, all his funds now are the 90,000 yuan he sold wild ginseng last time, plus the 30,000 yuan borrowed by Lao Liao, and the more than 10,000 yuan he earned from selling vegetables.

However, Li Yuan spent more than 10,000 yuan to pay the rent last time, plus the usual expenses, the total money he can take out now is no more than 120,000 yuan.

If the rent per mu is 500,

The two-year rent for 92 acres of land will cost more than 90,000 yuan. And even if Li Yuan used the money to rent the land, he would not be able to start growing vegetables right away.

It seems that this land has been unattended for a long time. If you want to grow vegetables, you must first prepare the land, then sow, water, and finally harvest and sell to make money.

Such a large piece of land is not comparable to the small vegetable garden in the village in the city. Li Yuan alone can't do so much work. So he has to hire people to help, even use mechanized equipment to save time, and even buy more vegetable seeds, all of which cost money.

What's more, Li Yuan's situation is a little special, and he needs to add gold beads to the water for pouring vegetables. For the convenience of operation in the future, he decided to build a modern drip irrigation system. In this way, the water in which the gold beads have been melted can be irrigated to the vegetable fields in need according to the needs.

And this system is even more expensive. According to the price Li Yuan found on the Internet, the cost of a general drip irrigation system is about 1,000 yuan per mu.

It's still summer right now, but winter will be here in a few months. In order to grow vegetables all year round, greenhouses need to be built before winter, which is another big expense.

So although the annual rent of 500 per mu of land is indeed not expensive, if you do the math seriously, the 100,000 in Li Yuan's hand is really not enough to spend, and he simply cannot afford to rent such a large land.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled helplessly at Chen Wenchuan, and then said apologetically, "Cun Chief Chen, I know the price is really not expensive. But...my funds are limited, and I really can't afford to rent such a large piece of land."

Hearing what Li Yuan said, Chen Wenchuan also showed disappointment, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Oh, every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures. Originally, I saw that you were young and determined to devote yourself to agriculture. Glad. There are really not many young people like you who are willing to farm, so I am willing to rent this land to you, but... alas!"

Chen Wenchuan's sigh contained too much helplessness, and his words were indeed sincere. As an old farmer who has been farming all his life, Chen Wenchuan really has a good impression of Li Yuan, who is willing to devote himself to agriculture and speaks honestly, and is very willing to contract this land to him.

It's a pity that Li Yuan's funds are limited, and Chen Wenchuan can't lower the price without authorization to harm the interests of the villagers, so he can only do nothing.

Speaking of which, Li Yuan was more disappointed than Chen Wenchuan. After finally finding such a good place within Wuxi City, he had to give up because of financial problems, which was also a big blow to him.

Facing the large piece of land in front of him, Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and tentatively said to Chen Wenchuan: "Cun Chief Chen, I have a suggestion, let me tell you if it works!"
