Chapter 795: Discussing in the Meeting
Jody Jones, after hearing about Peter Brown’s intention to contract the barren hills, became excited. This was no small matter. On the spot, Jody said to Peter, "How about this: I’ll immediately call a village assembly to discuss the matter. If you’re not busy, you can rest at my house."
He was really worried that Peter’s idea was just a whim.
Peter slightly smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll wait for a day. I will also go up the mountain to look around and get a feel for the situation here."
Jody immediately rang the village’s bell.
After the villagers had arrived one after another, Jody announced loudly, "The meeting will begin now. There’s a matter we need to discuss with everyone. A boss wants to come to our village to contract the land for cultivation. The proposed contracting locations are the eastern area near the river and the hill. There are probably around 3,000 mu in total."
When he mentioned this, the villagers’ eyes were filled with joy. No one had ever come to contract the land in the village before. Everyone knew that there weren’t many resources available, and now that someone had finally arrived, it was a remarkable thing for the entire village.
More than 3,000 mu!
When they thought about the possibility of the area being developed, everyone became somewhat unsettled.
"How much money is he offering per mu for the concession fee?"
Someone asked, as it affected everyone’s interests.
Jody looked at everyone and said, "I haven’t discussed this matter in detail yet. The purpose of gathering everyone here is to communicate and decide whether to contract the land."
