"When the market economy just opened up, quite a few people from Jiangbei came to work here. Those who arrived early and made money bought homesteads and built houses. There were quite a few outsiders like that."
Liang Yuan was surprised, "You could buy and sell homesteads in Linjiang?"
"Oh, not anymore. Back then, the management was lax, and Meishan was a place where even birds wouldn't go. No one paid any attention to it."
"Who would've thought that it would later be developed into a scenic area? The whole of Linjiang also developed quite well, and the land only became valuable then."
"I remember that back then, there was plenty of land. You could just find any empty spot and build a house, even on the mountains. Whoever seized the land and cultivated it owned it."
Old Yang laughed heartily; their lives back then were indeed less regulated.
Liang Yuan sighed inwardly. Linjiang truly benefitted from policy dividends.
