This is a small village called Ningxia Village, located at the foot of Yuetang Mountain, located more than 30 kilometers north of Wuxi City, from the map is about to reach the neighboring Su City, definitely the suburbs of the suburbs.

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

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

Chen Wenchuan looks like he is in his sixties, but his waist is still straight, he speaks loudly, and his spirit is better than that of many middle-aged people.

Knowing that Li Yuan wanted to rent the land in the village, Chen Wenchuan was also very happy, and directly brought him 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 woods, and then to Su City." Chen Wenchuan pointed to the piece of land in front of him and said: "The wasteland near the woods is not counted, the area of the cooked land is ninety-two acres, if you want it, then it will be fully contracted, and the price will be negotiable." ”

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

And Li Yuan is quite satisfied with this land, the scenery by the mountains and rivers is good, 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: "Village Chief Chen, I won't tell you nonsense, I'm quite satisfied with this land." You also quote me a real price, let's not go around in circles, do you think this is good? ”

The reason why Li Yuan said so truthfully was because he saw that Chen Wenchuan was also a real person. What kind of people should be said is what kind of person should be said, this is the experience that Li Yuan has gained after suffering losses for several years.

Li Yuan's vision of seeing people is still very accurate, and Chen Wenchuan is indeed a real person. Otherwise, the villagers of Ningxia Village would not have chosen Chen Wenchuan as the village head, and let him take full responsibility for the leasing of this land.

For Chen Wenchuan, Li Yuan's words were still very popular, so the old village chief couldn't help nodding and said, "Well, it's good 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, and some of the older villagers are still in the village. The vegetables grown can't be sold for a few dollars, and they may lose money after a year of hard work, so no one is willing to take care of this land anymore, but it's a pity! ”

Speaking of this, **** Chuan paused for a moment, and then continued: "Young man, if you really want to contract this land, I won't ask for money, I will give you a conscience price, only 500 yuan of rent per mu a year, the rent will be paid every two years, and the contract can be signed for ten years!" ”

"Five hundred?" Listening to the conditions offered by the other party, Li Yuan "chuckled" in his heart, and his face became ugly.

Seeing that Li Yuan's face had changed, Chen Wenchuan couldn't help frowning and said, "Young man, this is really a real price." At the moment, in our province, such cheap land cannot be found elsewhere. If it weren't for the location of our village being too remote, even if it was more expensive, it would have been contracted a long time ago, and it would not have been your turn at all. ”

Li Yuan also knew in his heart that Chen Wenchuan did not make a random offer. However, at present, all his funds are 90,000 yuan from the last sale of wild ginseng, plus 30,000 yuan borrowed by Lao Liao, and more than 10,000 yuan from selling vegetables.

However, Li Yuan spent more than 10,000 yuan on the last rent payment, and plus the usual expenses, the total amount of money he can take out now is not more than 120,000.

If the rent per mu of land is 500, the rent of 92 mu of land for two years will be more than 90,000 yuan. And even if Li Yuan uses this money to rent the land, he will not be able to start growing vegetables right away.

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

Such a large piece of land is no better than the small vegetable garden in the urban village, and Li Yuan alone will never be able to do so much work. So he had to hire someone to help, and in order to save time, he even had to use mechanized equipment, and even buy more vegetable seeds, all of which cost money.

What's more, Li Yuan's situation is still a bit special, and he also needs to add gold beads to the water for watering vegetables. In order to make it easier to operate in the future, he decided to build a modern drip irrigation system. In this way, the vegetable plots in need can be watered with the water that melts the gold beads as needed.

According to the price found by Li Yuan on the Internet, the cost of the general drip irrigation system is about 1,000 yuan per mu.

It's still summer, but it's going to be winter in a few months. In order to grow vegetables all year round, it is necessary to build greenhouses before winter, which is a lot of money.

Therefore, although the annual rent of 500 per mu of land is indeed not expensive, if you calculate it carefully, the hundreds of thousands in Li Yuan's hand are really not enough to spend, and he cannot afford to rent such a large amount of land.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled helplessly at Chen Wenchuan, and then said apologetically: "Village Chief Chen, I know that this price is indeed not expensive. But...... I don't have enough money to rent such a large piece of land. ”

Hearing Li Yuan say this, Chen Wenchuan also showed disappointment, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Alas, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Originally, I was really happy to see that you were interested in agriculture at a young age. There are really not many young people like you who are willing to farm the land at the moment, so I am also 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 interested in agriculture and is down-to-earth, 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 reduce the price without authorization to damage the interests of the villagers, so he can only do anything in vain.

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

Silent for a moment at the large area of land in front of him, Li Yuan said tentatively to Chen Wenchuan: "Village Chief Chen, I have a proposal, say it and see if it's okay!" ”
