Chapter 171 The Development of Bushen Village

The village chief agreed to Hongji's request and began to handle the matter. That afternoon, the village chief started beating the drum again, gathering the villagers.

Logically, when someone wants to buy land, they must be taken to see what kind of land it is, before helping them find a seller.

As the village's highest official, the village chief had a rough idea of how many acres of high-quality, medium-quality paddies, or reclamation land there were. But with so many people reclaiming land, some even halfway up the mountainside, it was indeed tricky for him to keep track of who owned which plots.

The village chief had a plan in mind; if the people on the other side were not selling, he could persuade those people to sell their land, as long as he could facilitate the deal.

For farmers, land is critical for growing food, but if a boss purchases land and hires people to work, then the villagers will have jobs. Instead of idling, they can make money and life won't be as tough.
