At the pinnacle of power: parachuted into your hometown as a leader right from the start!

However, the two still had some confidence in their hearts. After all, Jiang Feng came from their village, so how could he possibly cheat the people from their village?

"County Chief Jiang, do we receive any compensation for this land expropriation? Or are there any other policies in place?"

Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"No, Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang, what do you take me for? There must be compensation for the projects in this county. We can't let the people suffer losses."

Hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh? County Chief Jiang, how much is the compensation?"

How long are we preparing for the land acquisition?

Jiang Feng smiled and said to the two of them.

"The compensation will be calculated based on the net profit per acre here. The land acquisition period is tentatively set for one year. If the situation is not ideal and a second experiment is needed, the current standard will still apply."

Hearing this, Chen You was completely relieved, but he still had one problem to solve.

"County Chief Jiang, if your two thousand acres of land are to be requisitioned, it will definitely be in large tracts, right?"

"Even in the best-case scenario, a family of four would need an average of 27 mu of land per family, which would require the requisition of land from at least 70 or 80 families."

"If these people lose their land, their lives..."

Jiang Feng nodded slightly, naturally understanding Chen You's concern.

"Yes, the problem you mentioned does exist. I'm considering hiring these families whose land was requisitioned to help with planting in the experimental fields. If it's promoted in the future, they'll have the skills to teach other villagers in other towns or villages how to plant."

"Then the produce will be split 50/50 between the landowners. Of course, this is just my initial idea. I need to go back to the county government to study the specifics and discuss it at a meeting."

Chen You and Wang Zhengguo had no objections to Jiang Feng's idea.

Are you kidding me? Aren't these conditions generous enough?

This is already incredibly lucrative. Not only do you rent out the land, but you also get half of its output.

This is an absolute steal!

"Alright, since County Chief Jiang has said so, our Kaoshan Village will definitely follow the government's lead."

Chen You said with a smile on his face.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly, then spoke to the two of them.

"Alright, Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang, I'll head back now. Please inform the villagers about this as soon as possible."

"Our county government should also come up with a plan as soon as possible to strive for a win-win situation."

The two immediately invited Jiang Feng to stay for dinner.

But Jiang Feng waved his hand and refused.

After Jiang Feng left, the two of them got together and did some simple calculations.

"I think this is a good idea. As long as the compensation is in place, we can move forward with the work immediately."

"If anyone disagrees, then you'll be in charge of doing the work."

Chen You looked at Wang Zhengguo and said slowly.

Wang Zhengguo agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, leave the work to me."

The two have worked together for many years and have developed a good-cop/bad-cop partnership, which is quite effective.

"Well, if the compensation isn't high enough, we can't let County Chief Jiang down."

"This matter must be pushed forward. Our village has finally produced a high-ranking official. We can't just help him and bring him honor, but we absolutely cannot let him lose face."

Chen You spoke these words with a very firm tone.

Wang Zhengguo goes without saying; neither of them is stupid.

Putting aside the fact that Jiang Feng's treatment would definitely not be bad, even if the conditions he offered were really poor, so what?

He's not the real leader now, but what if he becomes the leader in the future?

Or what if he rises to a higher leadership position in the future?

When the time comes, with just a word from them, their mountain village will develop.

"Okay, don't worry."

Meanwhile, after Jiang Feng returned home, he told his family about the incident.

"If anyone comes to inquire about the situation, just tell them. That's the current situation for now. More details will need to be discussed at a county meeting."

Jiang Quansheng smoked a cigarette, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Xiaofeng, can you really make money with this experimental field?"

"Using crayfish to raise crayfish? I've never seen anyone around here eat that!"

Jiang Feng smiled, completely understanding his father's thoughts.

"Dad, don't worry. Although there aren't many people eating here, foreigners eat a lot of it, right?"

"I will arrange for someone to set up export channels. If there is production, I guarantee that it can sell for more than five yuan per kilogram, or even higher."

"And it's not that there's no sales in the domestic market, but the price is relatively low there right now. We mainly make more money by exporting."

Of course, Jiang Feng mainly focused on exports because he was certain that the country would be able to join the WTO this year.

Jiang Quansheng took a drag of his cigarette, somewhat surprised.

I can't believe this thing can cost so much? And it's even exported?

In his eyes, anything that can be exported is a good thing.

If this thing can be exported, then there must be no problem.

"Oh, this thing can be exported? Then there shouldn't be any problem."

Jiang Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with his father's thinking, because that's the general public's perception these days.

Everything that can be exported is of high quality, and this belief will likely persist for the next decade or more.

Time passed slowly, and a week went by.

The villagers also learned about the situation and often came to Jiang Feng's house to inquire about it.

After hearing about it, Jiang Feng took the opportunity to explain it to everyone when he got home today.

"Haha, Uncle Liu? Grandpa Gao, Uncle Yu, and Grandpa Wang, you're here too."

When Jiang Feng returned home, he saw that many villagers had already come to his yard.

Even Wang Zhengguo and Chen You were here.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng put down his bag and sat down next to Grandpa Wang, smiling at everyone.

"Everyone's been waiting here, looks like you have a lot of questions? I just got back today, so if there's anything you want to know, feel free to tell me, and I'll see if I can answer any of your questions."

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted into a chaotic murmur.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng immediately stood up and shouted.

"Wait, wait, everyone's making such a racket, I can't hear you!"

"Would you mind helping to maintain order, Mr. Chen?"

Chen You and Wang Zhengguo immediately stepped forward.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. One at a time. With so many people talking, how can County Chief Jiang hear us clearly?"

After he finished speaking, everyone quieted down for a moment, and then Chen You called out one person.

"Xiao Wu, you go first."

Wu Hao was about ten years older than Jiang Feng. He stepped forward somewhat nervously, and his speech was a little hesitant.

"Um, County Magistrate Jiang, I, I..."

Seeing this, Jiang Feng smiled and comforted him.

"What's wrong, Brother Wu? What's there to be embarrassed about telling me?"

"I remember you used to tease me a lot when we were kids, didn't you?"
