Chapter 33 Contracting the entire back mountain

It's rich! It's rich!

The smile on Wu Fan's face has turned into ecstasy. In his eyes, the "wall" in front of him has become a golden coin. It goes without saying that these high-quality ores must be very valuable.

The mine in front of the village is just a poor mine. The ores produced in it are of few types and quantities, and the quality is very poor. But even so, for the small mountain village, it is a considerable fortune.

And the "wall" in front of him is rich in many types of ores, with large quantities and superior quality. No matter from which aspect, it is far superior to the mine in the village.

Although inferior ores can also be used to make weapons, farm tools, etc., they need to be tempered to remove impurities, which wastes time and manpower. Secondly, even if the impurities in inferior ores are removed, the weapons and farm tools made from them are defective in quality, and cannot be compared with those made from high-quality ores, whether in terms of sharpness or durability.

Therefore, the price of high-quality ores is very high, and each piece is the favorite of blacksmiths. This information is automatically understood by Wu Fan after he learned the forging technique.

Therefore, when Wu Fan saw so many high-quality ores in front of him, he behaved so badly.

Moreover, this is just what he saw in front of him. Who knows how far this metal "wall" extends back?

This is definitely a huge fortune!

"No, I must get the ownership of this 'wall'!" With huge wealth in front of him, Wu Fan was naturally unwilling to give up.

Just as Blacksmith Sun said before, the mines in the wild may seem to be ownerless, but in fact, the ownership belongs to the government. Without permission, mining is not allowed.

If the government knew about the existence of the "wall" in front of him, it would definitely be taken over. At that time, Wu Fan would have nothing to do. Even if the village chief knew about it, Wu Fan felt that he would have no chance to get this "wall".

Therefore, this "wall" must not be known to others.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan hurried to the previous cave entrance, and then jumped up with the Tiger Leap, and then covered the cave entrance, and then ran to the village without looking back.

"Village... Village Chief, I want to rent the entire back mountain, no... not only those available vacant land, but all!" Wu Fan ran to the village chief's house in one breath and said to the village chief breathlessly.

Only by renting the entire back mountain can Wu Fan hide the existence of the "wall" and quietly exploit the "wall". The ownership of the "wall" will also be in his hands. Even if the village chief knows the existence of the "wall", he can't say anything.

"What did you do just now? Panting, dusty, digging holes like a mouse?" The old village chief looked at Wu Fan's embarrassed appearance and asked with a smile.

The old village chief was right. Wu Fan did dig a hole just now.

"Village chief, just tell me, I want to contract the entire back mountain, how much money does it cost a year?" Wu Fan said.

"Do you really want to contract the entire back mountain? The area there is not small, but many places, such as those around the hills, can neither breed nor plant. If you contract it, it will only be a waste." The old village chief said.

"I want the area around the hills!" Wu Fan thought to himself.

Of course, he couldn't tell the old village chief this. He was also afraid that the old village chief would know the existence of the "wall" and would not rent the back mountain to him.

"I've thought it through." Wu Fan said.

"Is that so." The old village chief's eyes turned to Wu Fan and said: "The back mountain is much larger than our village. Although some places are useless, the resources are very rich, so the price must not be too low. Of course, we are all acquaintances, so I will give you a friendly price, 5,000 gold coins a year, how about it?"

"Five thousand? Why don't you go and rob?!" Wu Fan shouted: "Such a large piece of open space, only 500 gold coins a year, plus some barren mountains and forests, it's ten times more? Village chief, you are too unkind."

"You can't say that." The old village chief looked at Wu Fan anxiously, but it seemed Very leisurely, calm: "I have already asked for very little of the previous 500 gold coins, and there are many products in those barren mountains, forests and rivers. As long as you contract them all, those things will be yours. In the end, you are still getting a big bargain."

There are animals and herbs in the woods, fish and shrimps in the river, and wild fruits in the mountains. Wu Fan knows these, and the old village chief also knows them. However, Wu Fan understands that with no more than ten villagers in the village, there is no way to make full use of those materials. In other words, if Wu Fan does not contract, those things on the back mountain may be wasted.

However, now these things have become the wealth of the village in the mouth of the old village chief. Renting them to Wu Fan will cause great losses to the village, so Wu Fan must pay a high price.

When Wu Fan saw the shrewd eyes of the old village chief, he realized that he was too eager to contract the back mountain just now, which made the old village chief see it, so the old village chief asked for such a high price.

Of course, even if there is no "wall" in the mountain, the materials on the mountain, in the water, and in the forest are worth 5,000 gold coins. If they are rented for 5,000 gold coins, Wu Fan will not lose money and the village will also make money.

The old village chief gritted his teeth and refused to give in, so Wu Fan had no choice but to accept the price.

"However, with the existence of the "wall", I will definitely not lose money." Thinking of this, Wu Fan felt much better in his heart, and he couldn't wait to mine the "wall".

"There is definitely something wrong with this kid." The old village chief looked at Wu Fan's back as he left, muttering to himself: "He must have found something in the back mountain, otherwise, he would never be so eager to contract the entire back mountain."

Originally, the old village chief asked for 5,000 gold coins, and he could accept it if he could hold the bottom line of 2,000 gold coins in the end. After all, as Wu Fan thought, this village did not have the ability to use the various materials on the back mountain.

However, in the end, Wu Fan actually agreed to the price of 5,000 gold coins, which made the old village chief even more suspicious of what Wu Fan had found in the back mountain.

"Forget it, whatever he finds, let him do whatever he wants." The old village chief said to himself, "We are all old, and there is no point in having those worldly possessions. Let's leave them to the young people."
