Buying Land for Houses

Upon hearing this, the villagers naturally answered that they wanted the latter.

So Village Chief Du continued:

"If we want our village to continue operating in this way for a long time, then we shouldn't do anything that cheats people. We know what our own land is like. Now, thanks to the immortal sect, we can sell our land for the same price as in the city without even leaving home, which is already very good."

We must be down-to-earth. In our Xiushui Village, we don't make money by cheating people. From now on, let's all work hard together; better days are ahead!

"Good!"

"Good!"

"The village chief is right!"

"We'll all listen to the village chief!"

Under Village Chief Du's leadership, every household abandoned the idea of setting exorbitant prices and started their own small businesses in a down-to-earth manner.

As more and more tourists come, Xiushui Village's business scope is becoming increasingly broad.

Many tourists, in groups of three or five, feel that a day is not enough to explore the area and want to see all the nearby mountains and rivers. Some tourists even stay overnight in the village.

Seeing this, Liu Yunan had a sudden inspiration. He took his mother, Tietou Lin Yun, and a group of his peers and, after the villagers had all gone to sleep that night, they did a good job of decorating the environment and scenery of Xiushui Village.

They entered the North Mountain and found many beautiful flowers and some unique green plants. They wrapped them in their Spiritual Power and carried them down the mountain. Under Yang Jinshu's guidance, they planted these flowers in a well-organized manner and carried over some moss-covered stones of various sizes to create many unique little scenes.

Perhaps due to the presence of Spirit Vein, many beautiful flowers and unique green plants have now grown on the North Mountain.

When Liu Yunan and his friends went up the mountain with Lin Xiao to hunt wild animals for food before, they had never seen so many beautiful plants.

The next morning, the villagers and tourists of Xiushui Village noticed the changes in the village.

Immediately, people shouted, "The immortal has used Immortal Method!"

Before long, the news spread among the tourists to the county town and even the prefectural city.

Two more days passed.

Suddenly, an outsider arrived in the village.

He found the village chief and bought a large plot of land for building a house from him.

They also bought a large tract of wasteland near Xiushui Village.

Although this wasteland is not very close to Xiushui Village, he has no choice, since no one in Xiushui Village is willing to sell their cultivated land.

So he had to settle for second best and bought the nearest piece of wasteland.

At worst, we can spend more money to hire people to clear the land.

This man was He Siyou, the father of the only female student in Sun Yigao's private school. He was a merchant, and everyone called him Boss He.

This Boss He. He has made a lot of money from years of running errands, but he rarely spends time with his wife and daughters.

Now that his daughter is in school, and the village where her private school is located is a village that may have immortals, he slammed his fist on the table and decided to move the whole family to Xiushui Village.

He planned to hand over the trading company to his nephews and nieces, and then move to the countryside with his wife and daughters to become a small landlord.

Boss He. He's decision was not solely based on rumors.

It was because his daughter came home and told him that during their classes, they couldn't hear any noise from outside.

Moreover, once when she urgently needed to use the restroom, she saw a kitten outside and wanted to go out and play with it, but she found that she couldn't go any further than the entrance to the private school.

At that moment, she felt a mixture of curiosity and fear, afraid that she would never be able to leave and see her parents again.

However, when school ended in the afternoon, she found that she was able to walk out.

Upon hearing this, and considering the recent buzz circulating in the county town, Boss He...

He thought that his daughter's private school must be quite extraordinary.

Presumably, when the teacher was giving lessons, the area around the private school must have been protected by Law Technique that prevented people from entering or leaving.

This solidified Boss He's determination to settle in Xiushui Village.

As for the other students from outside Xiushui Village who attended the private school, although they would be asked about it when they returned home, they would also tell their families what they had seen and heard.

However, their families lacked the courage to abandon their homes and settle in Xiushui Village.

However, most of the students' families with substantial wealth have also bought a plot of land in Xiushui Village, intending to build a small villa for their families in this village known for its immortals.

As the flow of people increased day by day, Liu Yunan also discovered some problems.

For example, the road leading to their village is too bumpy.

He was just about to lead a few brothers to level the road when he heard that several Lineage in Anqun County, who had lived there for generations, were going to fund the road repair in Xiushui Village.

Furthermore, they acted very swiftly, having already reported to the county government, and the county magistrate Wen Keming upon seeing the report.

Before long, the bumpy, potholed path in Xiushui Village was transformed into a smooth, wide road.

Subsequently, these prominent Aristocratic Clan from Anqun County came to Xiushui Village and bought homesteads from Village Chief Du.

However, Xiushui Village was originally a poor village, and there were not many residential plots in the village. The few remaining plots had all been bought up by the earlier residents.

These once- Aristocratic Clan have now had to settle for second best and have bought residential land on the outskirts of Xiushui Village.

They did consider coercing or bribing the villagers of Xiushui Village to give up their homesteads, or to exchange homesteads.

But for some reason, these villagers all seemed to have reached a consensus, refusing to pay any amount of money offered.

And as soon as they showed the slightest sign of coercion, the villagers would start gossiping about who was their neighbor from the immortal sect up in the mountain, who was their grandson's childhood friend, and who was their good brother...

And so, these Aristocratic Clan in Anqun County ultimately did not dare to make a move.

They had no choice but to hurry up and buy a plot of land on the outskirts of Xiushui Village.

If we wait any longer, all the residential land on the outskirts will be sold out, and then we'll have to buy land even further out.

This was the result of a private meeting between Village Chief Du and Clan Leader Hu, along with several clan elders.

They have lived here for generations, and the ancestral halls of various ethnic groups are also located here, so the village's residential land must not be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders in large quantities.

However, if one person sells while another doesn't, it's easy for some to feel resentful. So after discussion, they decided that no one should sell!

Anyone who dares to sell land will be exterminated from their clan and their ancestral graves moved!

They visited each household one by one, reasoning with them and appealing to their emotions, analyzing the pros and cons, and subtly adding the pressure of moving ancestral graves to the family.

This is how the many restless villagers were finally silenced.

Although they couldn't sell their own homesteads, these Aristocratic Clan offered pretty good prices for hiring workers to build houses and clear land, which the villagers were very happy to do.
