Chapter 2131: Chapter 2091: Concerned Not with Scarcity but with Inequality

Looking at these land contracts and signed agreements, Ye Weidong hurriedly put them away. These are the proof, and in the countryside, they are much more important than any land certificates issued by the government.

Because this is the recognition of those lands.

No matter how it’s divided in the future, that piece of land will definitely belong to Ye Weidong’s family.

"What do you think about hiring two people to watch the cemetery, each person for three thousand yuan a month?" Ye Weidong asked those cousins next to him.

Three thousand yuan per person?

Hiring two people would be six thousand.

Over a year it would be more than seventy thousand.

However, many who stay at home don’t even earn ten to twenty thousand a year, so this is certainly not bad.

"Weidong, let the Ye Family members do this." Third Uncle said.

"Dad, also, we need to rebuild and expand the Ye Family ancestral hall and the archway in Ye Family Village is too small and needs to be rebuilt. I’ll cover all the costs."

This?

The uncles were stunned.

Could it be that Ye Qiu is really willing to spend this money?

"As for the new house in Ye Family Village, Dad, you go talk to Village Chief Ye and see where there’s suitable empty land in Ye Family Village. The bigger the better, and we’ll buy it directly."

Empty land in Ye Family Village?

Originally, there were many plains and hills here, but fields can’t be built on, as it’s a national regulation, and you can only build on hills.

And Ye Family Village is also people-heavy and land-scarce. Many places have houses built on them already, so finding a big open piece of land is really a bit hard.

"We’ll take a look."

"I hope we can get it built by the end of the year, so we can come back and live during the New Year."

Come back and live during the New Year?

The uncles didn’t expect that Ye Qiu would return for the New Year.

It’s only about four months until the New Year.

However, for outside construction, usually, there’s only one or two stories, foundations and such are easy to manage, so it’s entirely possible to complete it in four months if there’s money.

"Then let’s go find the village chief now."

While those uncles and Ye Weidong went to find the village chief, Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian were strolling around Ye Family Village.

Actually, compared to the villages seen in other places yesterday, Ye Family Village is also quite nice, with the feeling of Jiangnan water towns, small bridges over flowing water.

But the other village seemed wealthier, giving a better overall impression.

However, if Ye Qiu spends tens of millions to transform Ye Family Village, it would certainly be different.

Of course, all this requires money.

Now only Ye Qiu can come up with this money.

If someone else had this money, how willing would they be to return to this old home?

Now, when Ye Qiu speaks like this, only he knows that the old home he recognizes is Ye Family Village, not the Ye Family in the Capital City.

After lunch, Ye Weidong and the others had already asked the village chief.

The remaining land in Ye Family Village is indeed not much. Many villagers either renovate or rebuild on their old house’s foundation.

Many have probably bought new houses in small towns or counties.

Now, with Ye Qiu going to spend money on rebuilding the archway and ancestral hall, it goes without saying that his prestige in Ye Family Village will surpass anyone’s.

So, it’s great that Ye Qiu wants to find land in his old home for a new house.

After looking around, there’s still a large piece of land near the village entrance.

But it’s owned by the entire village, it’s just been vacant all along.

It seems to be at least three acres, nearly two thousand square meters.

It’s definitely enough for a public cultural area.

If Ye Qiu wants to build a new house there, it’s certainly doable.

"Then it’s the land near the village entrance, around two thousand square meters."

Ye Qiu will definitely check the Feng Shui.

The Feng Shui of that land is quite good for building a house, warm in winter and cool in summer, making it very comfortable to live in.

However, it’s collectively owned by the village.

"How is the village land priced?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"A few hundred yuan per square meter. If it’s more, villagers would rather buy in the town."

A few hundred per square meter?

Ye Qiu didn’t find it expensive.

Calculating at a thousand per square meter, two thousand square meters would be around two million.

"Ask the village chief if they’ll sell for two million, up to three million."

Buying it for three million?

To many villagers, it’s definitely a good amount of money, which other villagers currently can’t muster up.

Village Chief Ye didn’t see any problem with this, at least Ye Qiu didn’t intend to exploit the villagers.

"Then let it be three million! I’ll transfer the money to the village committee, whether you distribute it among villagers or use it otherwise, I don’t care, but I want that land and might start construction soon."

Ye Qiu said to the village chief.

Now that Ye Qiu has eradicated the Zhu Family’s influence in the government, this young man is not as simple as he seems, and the village chief surely doesn’t dare to say anything.

Anyway, with these three million, each household can get tens of thousands, which is quite good.

In the countryside, the most feared thing is not scarcity but inequality.

This means not worrying about poverty, but worrying about unfair wealth distribution, which is a common mindset among these farmers; as long as it’s evenly divided, it’s fine.

Right now, it’s just that way, the land that was initially collectively owned is sold, evenly distributed, then there’s no problem.

Of course, if sold to outsiders, they might have some objections. Now that it’s sold to the Ye Weidong family, they certainly have no objections, and they hope that the Ye Family comes back every year.

Now that the new house’s land in the old home is secured, he’ll likely bring more money to change the situation in Ye Family Village.

After 5 PM, after dinner, Ye Qiu didn’t stay in Ye Family Village but drove back to the hotel in the small town.

Just after returning to the hotel, when Ye Qiu reached his room, unexpectedly, Song Ying hurriedly came to find him.

"Song Ying, what’s the matter?"

"The painting you gave me last night is missing."

Missing?

Last night, every lady received a painting.

Song Ying also took hers back, specially placing it in her room, only to find it missing when she wanted to take it out today.

How could the painting just go missing?

Could a thief have entered the hotel?

When Ye Qiu called the other ladies, he found they all still had theirs, only Song Ying’s was missing.

"Ye Qiu, what should I do?"

This was a gift from Ye Qiu, and Song Ying knew Ye Qiu’s paintings were indeed valuable.

For it to disappear overnight, how could she not be anxious?

There’s no doubt a thief entered!

This small town hotel, even if it has 24-hour security, can’t guarantee against the loss of valuables.
