They could invest some effort in digging the land, which wouldn’t affect future plantings. Even though the soil would regenerate after two or three years, resulting in an abundance of weeds and wild plants, it didn’t matter much.
Clearing out the weeds and unwanted growth would suffice. It was simply a matter of putting in some hard work.
After three years, the land would be ready for sale.
By selling the land, they could earn eight liang for one mu, or 80 liang for ten mue Those with 20 liang could potentially earn 100 or even 200 mu of land.
This was an incredible opportunity to seize within just two or three years. Some families grew anxious, eager to sell their land. They didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity in case Qiao Xuan changed her mind before they had a chance to voice their intentions.
A few astute families inquired, “Ms. Fang and Ms. Niece-in-law, what are your plans for buying all this land? Are you aiming to make a fortune?”
The others were equally curious.
“Yes, what’s the plan?”
“Tell us more about it!”
Qiao Xuan smiled warmly. “We’re buying the land for our livelihood, of course. We don’t squander money. Our goal is to connect the lands together for easier management. If any of you want to sell your land, please go ahead. If not, we can also acquire land from elsewhere. Operating them separately won’t be a major issue.”
“How we conduct the business is a secret. Even if we were to reveal our plans to you, it wouldn’t guarantee your fortune.”
“l offer a high price because we are all fellow villagers. It’s a form of compensation.”
“There’s no need to rush. Take two days to think it over, and then give me your decision. But remember, the offer is only valid for two days,” Qiao Xuan emphasized.
“You can choose to sell now, but once the deal is done, there’s no turning back. We don’t want any complications that could hinder our project’s progress,” she cautioned.
After Qiao Xuan’s speech, people started engaging in lively discussions.
Seven or eight families made the deal on the spot, while others mentioned they would discuss it within their own families and provide an answer the following day.
Qiao Xuan agreed happily to their approach.
The families who reached an agreement with Qiao Xuan proceeded to write up the contracts, received their payments, and returned home with smiles on their faces.
One family, for example, sold 23 mu of land, with six of them being unopened. They earned a total of 276 liang!
With the ability to purchase 20 mu of unopened land for 80 liang, they could make a pure profit of 200 liang.
This significant increase in income would greatly improve their quality of life
The sight of money exchanging hands excited the others, leading four more families to sell their land.
However, there were still some villagers who remained hesitant. They expressed their intention to make a decision after a few days. Qiao Xuan reassured them that it was perfectly fine.
After finalizing the deals, Qiao Xuan returned home with Ms. Fang, clutching the contracts in her hands. Ms. Fang couldn’t help but express her frustration, saying, “Why are they hesitating? It’s so annoying and troublesome. We don’t engage in deceit, especially when it comes to money. We’re buying these fields to make a fortune, something they can’t even dream of achieving.. And there’s nothing they can do about it either!”
