The best ring

Wu Fan understood that this was to allow him to support the villagers in the village without changing all the rights of the villagers before. From then on, the original villagers in the village could survive without doing any labor, and live better than before.

Wu Fan did not hesitate too much and said, "Okay, I agree!"

For Wu Fan, this request of the old village chief was not difficult.

Firstly, there were not many original villagers in the village, only about ten households, so his burden was not heavy. Compared with the land, forests, minerals and other resources he owned, Wu Fan still had a great advantage.

Secondly, many people in the village had taught Wu Fan skills and were considered his masters. Even if there was no land contracting, he would not refuse the old village chief to support them. Wu Fan still attached great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice.

Wu Fan's straightforwardness surprised the old village chief a little, but he had a satisfied expression on his face: "In addition, the contract also requires payment. Let's follow the contract price of your back mountain, 2,500 gold coins a year, how about it?"

"No problem!" Wu Fan said without hesitation.

Contracting must be paid, Wu Fan can understand this, and the area in front of the village is not smaller than the area of ​​the back mountain, so Wu Fan can fully accept 2,500 gold coins a year.

"It's just that the back mountain in front of the village is not the same as the back mountain. If you just give it to me to contract, will the government disagree?" Wu Fan asked with some concern.

According to Wu Fan's understanding, the resources in front of the village should be public resources, which are used for "players" to fight monsters and upgrade. It has a large area and rich resources, including forests, rivers, mineral veins, etc.

It's just that he is the only "player" here, so it looks empty.

Therefore, the ownership here should be official, and even the village has no ownership.

The back mountain is different. The back mountain belongs to the village's own resources, and the government has no control over it. Therefore, the old village chief can deal with it at will. He can rent it to whoever he wants. There is no problem.

Now, the old village chief wants to contract all the resources in front of the village to himself, which makes Wu Fan a little worried about the attitude of the government. After all, according to the news from the mansion, the county magistrate of Qingyuan County is not an easy person to deal with.

"Why, are you afraid?" The old village chief smiled and said, "Don't worry, the affairs of our Hermit Village are not the turn of a small county government to manage. As long as you are willing, you can rent it for as long as you want. As long as I nod, no one dares to embarrass you!"

The voice is not loud, but it is quite domineering.

"Since you say so, I am relieved." Wu Fan smiled.

In fact, Wu Fan has long discovered that this Hermit Village is unusual. The last time he went to the county to report, he found that many people had not heard of it. This may be because many people will not travel too far away from themselves, but this also makes the Hermit Village more mysterious.

"Just rent it with confidence." The old village chief said, "Also, aren't you going to hire someone to build the city wall? Then build a new house for every household in the village, how about that?"

"No problem!" Wu Fan agreed readily.

The original houses in the village did look a bit shabby, but the villagers here were either too old or too young. Obviously, they couldn't build new houses. He could understand the old village chief's request.

"Since you agreed so readily, I'll give you this thing too." The old village chief threw the gray flag to Wu Fan: "Just consider it as a reward for you to build new houses for the villagers."

Wu Fan took it with a happy face and thanked the old village chief: "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. As a member of this village, even if there is no reward, it is my unshirkable responsibility to help the villagers build new houses."

"Okay, don't be so nagging, kid. I don't know your temper?" The old village chief said contemptuously.

"Hehe." Wu Fan smiled embarrassedly.

"I see you have hired a lot of people, and I have given you the identification skills. Select some of them who are good in construction and have good character, and send them to me. I will teach them construction-related skills. I don't want the house I live in to collapse suddenly one day." The old village chief said to Wu Fan.

"Okay!" Wu Fan responded happily.

With the teaching of the old village chief, I believe those people will learn quickly. With the bonus of Wu Fan's "player" attribute, when the time comes, whether it is building a house or building a city wall, the speed will be much faster.

After getting great benefits from the old village chief, Wu Fan left happily.

The old village chief looked at Wu Fan's back and showed a smug smile on his face.

The old village chief is undoubtedly wise. He judged from some news that the troubled times may come soon. Once their village is in danger, what should they do with the old and young people? As the village chief, he must consider these and prepare for a rainy day.

Therefore, he agreed to Wu Fan to relocate people from the county town to provide additional security for the village. Now he contracted all the resources in front of the village to Wu Fan, in order to tie Wu Fan down and keep him here. He knew that Wu Fan attached great importance to those resources, and for the sake of those resources, he would do his best to protect the safety of the village.

There weren't many people in their village, and they were either very old or very young. The resources in front of the village were not used at all. Now they didn't lose anything by renting it to Wu Fan. In fact, their lives would be better than before, and they wouldn't have to work hard for a living.

Wu Fan had to pay a total of 5,000 yuan in rent every year. 5,000 gold coins was definitely not a small number in this era, and it was enough for the people in their village to live a rich life.

So, after all the arrangements, it seemed that the old village gave Wu Fan a lot of convenience, but in fact, it made their village safer and richer, and it was more beneficial to their hermit village.

Wu Fan could more or less guess the old village chief's intention, but he didn't care, because he didn't suffer any loss in this matter. The village needed safety and gold coins, and he needed those resources. As long as he had enough resources, his life would get better and better, whether in this world or in reality.

And because of what happened today, Wu Fan became more determined to build the Hermit Village into his base in this world.
