When Lin Jiuyue heard the village chief's words, he immediately understood the meaning of the village chief's words.

"Haha, since the village chief has said so, let me wait until the matter is settled and I will give the village chief a drink."

Lin Jiuyue didn't force it, but gave him the money directly? Received it back. I thought that after the village chief helped me solve the problem, I would just give him a little more money.

The village chief said with a smile.

"Sure, then I'll just wait."

After discussing with the village chief, Lin Jiuyue went to his house to stay for a while. At noon, he heard gongs and drums ringing in the village. Lin Jiuyue knew that the gongs and drums must have been played by the village chief.

Following the crowd, Lin Jiuyue also arrived at the Bazi where the 'meeting' was held in Shangbei Village.

The villagers heard the sound of gongs and drums and arrived one after another.

After everyone arrived, the village chief told the villagers about Lin Jiuyue's plan to reclaim the hills.

Some of the villagers were opposed, some were neutral, and some wanted to please Lin Jiuyue. Agree with Lin Jiuyue to open up wasteland.

The village chief and Lin Jiuyue stood in the center of the dam, listening to the villagers' discussions.

After waiting for a while, when the villagers were almost finished discussing, the village chief finally spoke.

"Ms. Lin said that she is not reclaiming land at will. If everyone agrees, Miss Lin is willing to give us villagers some compensation."

After hearing this, the villagers started discussing with the fellow villagers next to them.

"This is the Lin family. I heard that they are just the two siblings. I originally thought that the two of them came here to escape from the wilderness and must not have much money. I didn't expect that they have a lot of money. They are even willing to give money to open up wasteland."

"Let me tell you, the Lin family siblings are not good at living. The land in the hills is so barren that they can't grow any food at all. They actually want to spend money to cultivate it. If this is really the case, Will you die if you come out?"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the Lin family siblings are extremely powerful. Maybe reclaiming wasteland will be a piece of cake for them?"

The story that Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye are as strong as cattle has spread throughout Shangbei Village. Now everyone in Shangbei Village knows that Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye are not ordinary people.

"I'm not interested in what you said. I just want to know how much money the Lin family plans to give to the villagers."

The hillock is the ‘property’ of the entire Shangbei Village. If the Lin family wanted to reclaim all the land, the villagers would definitely not agree.

But the village head just said that the Lin family is willing to give the villagers some compensation. With compensation, the villagers think differently. If the compensation is appropriate, no one will probably object.

"Village Chief? Miss Lin, you said there is compensation, how much is the compensation?"

A bold villager in the crowd asked.

The village chief didn't know how much compensation Lin Jiuyue planned to give, so he had to focus on Lin Jiuyue.

Lin Jiuyue lowered his head and thought for a while.

You can't give too much money. If you give too much, it won't be worthwhile for you. You can't give too little money. If it's too little, the villagers will feel unbalanced.

Shangbei Village has a relatively large population. There are more than 200 people in the entire village, large and small.

"Fellow folks, everyone knows that our Lin family came here to escape famine, and we are not rich people. If we were rich, we would have bought a house in the city long ago and would not have been assigned to the countryside."

"We are reclaiming this hillock to see if we can grow anything valuable. If we can grow it in the future, we will teach everyone how to grow it together for free."

"I don't have much money now. We are all fellow villagers in Shangbei Village. We know the price of land here better than I do."

"Today, I also asked the village chief. Let's go to Shangbei Village. There are 232 people in total, large and small. I thought, the compensation will not be based on the household, but based on the population, one hundred per person. Copper plate. If everyone agrees, I will bring this copper plate over tomorrow."

"However, we have said it before. Once we get the copper plate, we can't go back on it. And we have to sign and have our fingerprints printed."

One hundred copper coins per person may not sound like much at first, but in this era, a family with a large family could have more than ten people.

In other words, a family with a large number of people might be able to get a tael of silver!

Although the money was not much, it was like falling from the sky. Most of the villagers had happy smiles on their faces after hearing this. However, a small number of villagers are not very satisfied. Want to strive for more benefits.

The village chief stood in the middle and saw the expressions of the villagers.

"Everyone listen to me."

"Everyone knows what this little mountain bag looks like. If it was really valuable, it probably wouldn't be left here today."

"The hill is empty. It's better to let the Lin family use it to open up wasteland. We can still get some copper coins. If you don't agree and miss this opportunity, you may not get a single copper coin in the future."

"The Lin family has also said that we will not force the family. If someone disagrees, the Lin family will not want it and just open up two or three acres of wasteland. However, our country in South Vietnam has regulations that wasteland can be opened at will. When the time comes, the Lin family will not be able to earn a single copper. Take it out.”

When the hills were cleared, the Lin family was willing to compensate the villagers with a little money, but if they only cleared two or three acres, they really wouldn't have to pay a single copper.

"Think about it, everyone. Those who agree with the Lin family's land reclamation stand on my right, and those who disagree stand on my left."

The village chief directed the villagers and asked the villagers who had considered it to start lining up.

The chatter in the crowd became louder and louder.

But as time goes by, there are more and more people on the right side of the village chief.

Some villagers are still wavering, and the villagers standing on the right are a little anxious.

The village chief and the Lin family girl just said it, what if there are too many villagers who disagree? Then the Lin family will not open up wasteland.

Doesn’t this make all the money in hand go away?

"Oh, why are you even thinking about it? That small hill has been there for so many years. Who in our village has started to open up wasteland? If you really want to open up wasteland, can't you still open up wasteland in the back mountain? It's not that little land."

"That's right, it's not easy for someone to give money to open up wasteland? What else are you thinking about? Come over here quickly."

After all, the wavering people are only a minority. They listened to the villagers’ advice and the village chief’s previous ‘brainwashing’. Slowly walked towards the right hand side of the village chief.

It took less than an hour from the time the villagers gathered until now, and there were only two families standing to the left of the village chief.

Lin Jiuyue had originally thought that the villagers would not all agree at once. Lin Jiuyue was already very satisfied with the current 'war situation'.

The village chief looked at the two families standing on his left and frowned with dissatisfaction.
