Zhao Zhigao was not at home all morning, in fact, he did not go far, but went to the village committee and gathered all the family members of the Zhao family in Yuehu Village.

The news that Luo Xu was going to summon the villagers in the school building had spread in the village, and as soon as he heard the news, Zhao Zhigao took action, gathered his fellow clansmen, and asked everyone to be unanimous and not to contract the land to Luo Xu.

In this era, although he is the head of the village, he can't force everyone to do anything. Opposing the same clan contracting land to Luo Xu, Zhao Zhigao certainly has a legitimate reason. He knew very well that Luo Xu had no money at all.

The fact that Luo Xu had no money, coupled with Zhao Zhigao's prestige among the same clan, soon the family surnamed Zhao basically reached a consensus.

Of course, there are also opponents, the person who took the lead is Zhao Yunong, the most important thing for the old man in his life is affection, Luo Xu helped the village sell the corn stalks, he thinks that everyone should be grateful, even if Luo Xu has no money, they should support him.

When it comes to vital interests, although Zhao Yunong has repeatedly called for it, there are few responders. In the entire Zhao family, ninety percent of the people are on Zhao Zhigao's side.

Yuehu Village has the largest number of families with the surname Zhao, accounting for more than 80 percent of the total number of households. Zhao Zhigao's trick is really ruthless enough, as long as the family surnamed Zhao is encircled, Luo Xu will not be able to contract too much land, not to mention that he has no money is a fact, it involves his own interests, and no one will be stupid enough not to transfer the land to others for nothing.

Luo Xu didn't know what Zhao Zhigao was doing in secret, but even if Zhao Zhigao didn't make trouble in secret, having no money was also his inherent flaw, and he always had to face it.

In the evening, Luo Xu had villagers come to the school building. Luo Xu bought a few packs of cigarettes from Liu Shuying and stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet the villagers with the cigarettes.

At five o'clock, basically everyone arrived. Just as Luo Xu began to speak, Zhao Zhigao slowly walked in with his hands behind his back.

"The village chief is here. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone was talking.

"Village Chief Zhao, I'm just about to invite you over. I'm sorry, I don't even have a chair here, so I can only grieve you and everyone to stand together. Luo Xu handed over a cigarette, but Zhao Zhigao raised his hand to block it and did not take it.

"Tell me about you, and I'll stand and listen. Zhao Zhigao said coldly.

Luo Xu walked to the top and faced everyone, and the big guy quieted down, waiting for him to speak.

"Thank you for coming, I have gathered you here today because I have something I want to talk to you about. Presumably, everyone knows the purpose of my visit to Yuehu Village, so I won't repeat it. Next, I will mainly talk to you about the benefits of contracting land to me. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xu paused, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Yunong's body, and asked with a smile: "Old Zhao, how many acres of land does your family have?"

Zhao Yunong replied: "Twelve acres." ”

"Then how much income can these twelve acres of land generate in a year?" Luo Xu asked with a smile.

Zhao Yunong shook his head, "It's hard to say, if the wind and rain are smooth, there will still be an income of three or five thousand in a year." If God doesn't open his eyes, then let alone make money, it's good not to lose money. ”

Luo Xu nodded, then his eyes fell on Zhao Erzhu's body, and asked with a smile: "Erzhu, how many acres of land does your family have?"

Zhao Erzhu said: "My family has fifteen acres, and the income is about the same as that of Grandpa Yunong's family." Our crops are hard, and we all have to watch the sky to eat. ”

Zhao Erzhu's words resonated with many villagers present, and everyone felt the same pain, for thousands of years, industrial civilization has entered a stage of rapid development since its birth, while agricultural civilization is still moving forward slowly, and many places are still the same as thousands of years ago, relying on animal power to cultivate.

Luo Xu didn't ask anyone else, because he knew that the answers he got were similar, and said with a smile: "Next, I'll settle accounts for everyone." At present, the annual contract price of one mu of land is about 800, and the average cultivated land per household in our village is more than 10 mu. In this way, if everyone transfers the land in their hands, not only do they not have to work hard to cultivate, but they can also have an income of nearly 10,000 yuan a year. ”

When he said this, everyone was a little moved. Zhao Zhigao smiled coldly in the crowd, stepped forward, and began to make trouble.

"Xiao Luo, you want to buy the land in our village, let me ask you, how much money did you bring here? If you have money and the big guy takes the money, you can rest assured that the land will be given to you. If you don't have any money, then you're fooling and cheating! You draw a big pie for everyone, if one day your planting industry fails, you lose all your money, and you slip away, then who will we go to for the contract fee?"

Zhao Zhigao's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, extinguishing the enthusiasm that everyone had just ignited.

This is an unavoidable practical problem, you have to have money to contract land, if you don't have money, no matter how beautiful the words are, it is useless.

"I'm trying to discuss the contract fee with the big guys. ”

"Just tell me if you have any money!" Zhao Zhigao interrupted Luo Xu and asked aggressively.

“…… I really don't have the funds for the time being. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, in the face of Zhao Zhigao's public questioning, Luo Xu still felt humiliated, and secretly clenched his fists, but he was helpless, this is a fact after all, not someone fabricated it.

"I don't think there's any need for everyone to listen to this person here, it's a waste of time. If you don't have money, what are you talking about and coaxing us like three-year-olds?" Zhao Zhigao sneered and waved his hand, signaling that everyone could go.

In the crowd, Liu Shuying saw Luo Xu's lonely and helpless figure, sighed softly, and suddenly stepped forward.

"Luo Xu, I believe in you, all the ten acres of land in my family are contracted to you. I'm a woman, and I'm too tired to plant so much land, and I have long wanted to get rid of it, and I don't have much income all year round anyway. ”

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. Liu Shuying can stand up at this time, and Luo Xu will never forget her kindness in her life.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! I will never live up to your trust!"

Before the words fell, Qiao Danian and Zhao Yunong both stepped forward and said that they would contract Zi's own land to Luo Xu. In the blink of an eye, Luo Xu had more than 30 acres of land, although it was not big, but it finally had the foundation for planting.

Zhao Erzhu was about to step forward, but was stopped by his father Zhao Zhiping. Zhao Zhigao has already blown the wind to everyone in advance, if anyone dares to contract the land to Luo Xu, he is an enemy of Zhao Zhigao and the entire family surnamed Zhao. Zhao Yunong is highly respected and naturally not afraid, but Zhao Zhiping has to think twice.

"Listen to me, everyone!" Liu Shuying took the initiative to call on everyone to contract the land to Luo Xu, "Everyone knows that this land is not interesting, it is better to contract it to Luo Xu." When everyone is freed from the land, they have time to go to the city to work, which is much better than farming at home. Whether this money is like this or not, everyone should calculate it in their hearts. ”
