Chapter 1460: Chapter 1305: Acquiring Land (Subscribe please!)
"This matter must be treated as the top priority in the city now. Since we aspire to create a cultural and tourism city, what better than a university to represent our determination?"
The top leader made a decisive decision.
And there’s no need for personal funds.
Naturally.
There won’t be any problems.
"The Education Bureau is the main driving force for this matter; complete the local procedures as soon as possible and report to the Provincial Department. In the Development Zone, allocate personnel and set up a task force with the Municipal Party Committee to push this forward."
"..."
"Currently, in the proposal by the Tianyan Group, the area has already been designated. Land acquisition must start immediately, complete the utility and site preparation and construction permits as soon as possible to begin work at the highest speed."
"..."
"Additionally, the roads from the airport to the university, and from the city to the university, need to be re-planned and widened. This part of the funds will be provided by the city’s finance, and the construction department should expedite this matter."
"..."
The top leader is a man of swift action, quickly delegating tasks.
He felt very pleased in his heart.
This term of his.
Had extremely good luck; the Tang Family’s support to Qingyan City directly propelled a tremendous growth in local GDP, and as for creating foreign exchange - that was hardly an issue, the Tang Family alone could handle it.
Or to say.
In the future.
The leaders of Qingyan City.
Would not have the worries of creating foreign exchange tasks—an unthinkable ease elsewhere, as creating foreign exchange baffles many, and his position is truly envied by his colleagues.
After the meeting.
Various departments sprung into action.
Among them.
The main participant - the Education Bureau, was actually the most relaxed. According to the planning document, they only need to provide an evaluation outcome - agree, fill out their own form, and send it to the Provincial Department.
After all.
It looks like the Provincial Department is also well-prepared.
However.
Things can’t go on like this.
Today their plans come in, tomorrow submitted to the Provincial Department - not to mention their role might seem weak, even the Provincial Department would feel they lack solidity. At least, they should genuinely take a good look.
Therefore.
They prepare to report next week.
This week.
They’ll diligently review and complete the tasks that they need to do. After all, the most crucial approvals concern the educational funds and faculty resources; it’s essential not to mislead the students.
And Tang Qing.
Obviously lacks no money.
With money.
How can there be a shortage of faculty resources?
...
That very afternoon.
The Land Acquisition Office was established.
Once the task force was formed. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
They proceeded to the designated land acquisition site. Since it is located on the outskirts of the Development Zone and along the river, Tianyan Group likely considered the difficulty of acquiring the land, hence choosing this mainly beach mudflat area.
Other places.
Were abundant with farmland.
But there were few residential bases; several floods had occurred in Qing River before, causing residents to continually relocate and rebuild homes, which resulted in this land acquisition involving only about twenty households with residential bases.
Also, because of those floods, there are no graveyards in this area.
Indeed.
As long as it doesn’t involve rural residential bases or graveyards, the land acquisition work is relatively easier.
Firstly.
They visited the village committee.
"Director Liu, I believe the district has informed you of our intention. This time, it involves a key project of the city. The city needs to requisition some of the land from your village."
"Understood, they are inside."
Once the village head received the notice from the district, he had called the villagers over.
The city plans to build a university here.
He was very supportive.
Farmers.
Might resist when their land is acquired for building factories or commercial houses, as everyone hopes to gain something from it, but attitudes are different when it comes to building schools or universities.
Entering the village committee.
A noisy scene unfolded.
Over twenty households came, nearly eighty people in total. Seeing the task force entering, under the village head’s call for ’quiet,’ the crowd gradually settled down, eyes fixed on the stage.
They.
Had also learned that their residential bases were to be requisitioned. They initially thought some developer would build factories or commercial houses, hoping to profit from it, but upon hearing it was for a university, they were somewhat perplexed.
To conduct education benefits the country and the people.
And it’s for a university.
Knock it on!
I always feel like I’m playing the villain, and it’s not pleasant to talk about.
Shouldn’t knock on it.
Just this one chance.
Torn.
Looking at the villagers.
The team leader coughed.
"Hello everyone, I’m from the Municipal Party Committee Office, the leader of this land acquisition team, in Qingyan City. We never had a university before. Now, we have the opportunity to establish one, and we cannot miss it."
"Thus, after the city’s decision, we will need to acquire the residential land and farmland from everyone here for educational purposes. In the future, our children can also receive higher education nearby their homes."
"So, to quickly obtain the qualification for running a school, we must hurry to complete the construction of the school. For the farmland and residential land we use, we will provide appropriate compensation."
"According to the city’s compensation rules, we will use relocation to different locations, providing land of equal quality and the corresponding area of residential land, and we will bear the construction costs and provide appropriate financial compensation."
"What do you all think about this?"
Finally.
The question was thrown to them.
For a moment.
The room buzzed like a vegetable market, the offer wasn’t bad, it just equated to moving houses, and there would be new homes to live in along with some financial compensation.
But.
The affairs of farmers.
Are not that simple,
"What is the financial compensation based on?"
Asked a chubby young man.
That rolling gaze.
Revealed shrewdness.
"Everyone, farmland and residential land can receive the fairest compensation in the relocation to different locations, and houses can also be exchanged for new ones, even, we allow a thirty percent increase in the compensated floor area of the house."
"That means, if your previous house was two hundred square meters, with upstairs and downstairs, in the new house, you can freely construct a two-hundred-sixty square meter large house within a reasonable budget."
"As for the economic compensation you mentioned, it is based on the number of people registered in the household. Up to today, regardless of age, each person can receive thirty thousand yuan in compensation."
The funding for the university land acquisition.
Was taken over by the city.
Higher than the usual standards, after all, Qingyan City is just an inland fourth-tier city, still a bit away from the third-tier, this compensation standard is really high, it’s just to settle things quickly.
Indeed.
Upon hearing that everyone could get thirty thousand.
Many people got excited.
Digging in the fields.
It’s hard to earn this much in a year, and for some families with many members, they could directly get two to three hundred thousand, even more, in 2007, the purchasing power of this money was really not low.
"That’s too low."
The young man pouted.
"The city’s compensation standard, you can inquire elsewhere, after other compensations are in place, the amount of compensation money has never exceeded twelve thousand per person. Now, thirty thousand, is already very reasonable."
The team leader spoke patiently.
"I don’t care, without fifty thousand, I won’t move. Also, I want a house from the city, just forget about the rural farm and residential land, just convert it into cash." The person continued.
Finally encountered the so-called demolition rumored.
How could it be missed.
"His parents died in a car accident two years ago, he’s the only one left in the family, he has always been fooling around, and almost all the household stuff has been sold off, probably even the compensation from his parents’ accident is running low, not to mention going farming."
The village head whispered over.
"What are you mumbling about, village head?" the young man shouted.
"Nothing, just talking about your situation. Since you’re unwilling to farm and even more reluctant to live in the rural area, we won’t force it. We can agree to convert it into cash, but thirty thousand is the principle and can’t be changed."
"Do you government lack these twenty thousand?"
The young man pouted.
"It’s not a matter of lacking, but a principle. According to you, does the country lack those billions? Shouldn’t the country just go door to door for every land acquisition and hand out millions in pocket money?"
"Young man, that’s not how you calculate it. If the plan extends half a mile westward, it wouldn’t involve you at all. As for the additional request for a separate house, I can only say, the government does not accept extortion."
Upon hearing the word extortion.
The experienced young man felt a bit scared, "Stingy, then convert everything into cash for me."
"Possible."
At this point.
Besides those asking for details, no one else brought up additional conditions, as the conditions offered by the city were indeed good, moving houses, still farming, and receiving compensation ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands.
It was already a gain.
Actually.
The city giving so high.
Had another consideration.
That is, once the university is established, the surrounding land will undoubtedly increase in value; without a year, the land price in this village could skyrocket at least several times. Thus, theoretically, those who moved away are somewhat at a loss.
But not much of a loss.
Because.
The university is not surrounded by the village.
But on the edge of the Development Zone, one side is the village, while the other, is the newly included commercial land of the Development Zone, to be developed unless really needed, the city also won’t rush to change the attribute of the village’s cultivated land.
Farmland and residential land.
Without changing the attribute,
There’s simply no possibility of commercial development.
