Good luck every time

The world outside is countless times more complicated than Sanjia Village.

If Li Ruyi can't even handle the village where he grew up and knows it very well, he will face even more difficulties when he goes out.

Familiarity is her advantage, and so is the reputation she has built up!

That's why she has to seize the advantage.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry. It's a disaster year now, and I just want to find a way for everyone to survive."

"If someone has a way to survive, that's their ability, but there are always some people who don't have such ability but still want to live."

“I’m here for these people!”

Li Ruyi spoke in a very righteous manner, and seemed to really not care about these things.

If it were in the past, Chief Han might have mocked her.

But today is different.

Today, Li Ruyi just proposed to exchange food for people.

He is also one of the beneficiaries. How thick-skinned must one be to say such ungrateful words.

With Li Ruyi setting the tone, the rest of the matters became much easier to discuss.

The current climate is getting colder day by day, and charcoal is most needed now. Everyone can sell some of the charcoal they burn.

There are plenty of trees in the mountains. With a population of several thousand, it would probably take several lifetimes to burn down a mountain.

Of course, just cutting won't work.

Li Ruyi also asked everyone to plant another batch and find the trees they planted.

There are plenty of places to plant trees around the village, so it’s not a difficult task.

You can also find trees that are good for making charcoal and plant them for later use.

Since Li Ruyi made the plan public, he hoped that Sanjia Village would have a targeted output of goods.

She believes that the village will gradually become prosperous.

The prosperity of Sanjia Village will also make people around her trust her more.

Nothing can be achieved overnight, and all operations have their inevitable purpose.

Li Ruyi’s purpose is very clear.

After discussing future matters, everyone left the Li family with a relaxed look on their faces.

In any case, within two months, no one will have to worry about anyone starving to death.

Li Ruyi was very busy afterwards.

This charcoal-making method cannot be made public all at once.

Slash and burn is likely to cause fire danger.

Before the disaster had caused people to starve to death, the fire had destroyed Sanjia Village.

The number of people Li Ruyi has available is neither too many nor too few.

But Li Eryi and his wife still had to go out with her.

She had to pass this heavy responsibility on to others.

Li Ruyi thought about it but couldn't think of anyone more suitable than the village head.

She has a high enough status and position, and she is smart and flexible. She will always tell her in advance about things that do not violate her bottom line.

Of course, Li Ruyi would not explain it to the head of the village in this way.

Her reason for wanting the village head to be in charge of this matter was more legitimate.

"Uncle, there are not many people in the village who are prestigious and capable and can shoulder this important task. Only you can coordinate the three families to work together to do one thing."

"I know this is a big and difficult matter, but to be honest, no matter the clan leader or the elders in the village, they all have their own ideas. If there is a chance, no one would not want to make their family stand out."

"But I am the only one who knows that you, cousin, care about the whole village."

Li Ruyi's words almost made the village head's eyes red.

He has worked diligently in the village for so many years, but no matter big or small, everyone still likes to stick together.

Moreover, because he sometimes did not show partiality to the Sun family for the sake of fairness, even his eldest brother became much more distant from him.

Over the years, he has done his best to help the people in the village.

But no one has ever said that he cares about the whole village.

Those who took advantage were complacent and attributed the achievement to someone in my family who dared not offend others.

Those who felt they had been taken advantage of were extremely angry and thought the head of the village had gone too far.

In the end, he was just like the non-staff member who was responsible for changing people's household registration.

The location that is prosperous in other villages, but in Sanjia Village, it can only be caught in the middle.

The head of the village agreed to this matter on impulse.

This made Li Ruyi feel relieved.

As long as the framework is built and basically stable, everything will go smoothly in the future.

She doesn't understand those business things.

So she made some assumptions based on the various difficulties she imagined might occur.

There are so many wealthy families in the city, and I’m afraid no one knows them better than she did when she was singing in the brothel!

Although some of these people made her feel disgusted, there were also some who had good character.

However, since she wants to do business, whether it is disgusting or not will be put aside for later.

Whoever pays out the money is money.

The purpose of doing business is to make money. Happiness is just a supplementary value. Of course, it is better to have it.

Given the conditions in Sanjia Village, the best way to make charcoal is to build a charcoal kiln.

However, a charcoal kiln cannot be built and used just by impulse.

Not to mention whether the venue requirements could be met, Li Ruyi couldn't even find a charcoal worker of such high skills.

In that case, why not train one yourself!

She first asked everyone to use the simplest method to burn charcoal.

That is, put the wood together, put dry branches on the outside, smear it with mud, make ventilation holes around it, and light the charcoal from above.

Wait until the wood burns to a certain extent, then block all the vents to allow it to slowly carbonize in a closed environment.

Although this method produces less charcoal, it does not require much experience.

If one batch fails, there is always the next batch, and it will always succeed.

However, when it is burning, a lot of smoke is emitted, which is not good for your health.

Li Ruyi still suggested that everyone gather in one place to make the dumplings, as far away from the village as possible.

The head of the village nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Finally, Li Ruyi personally burned a batch of charcoal for the village head to see.

It took her seven days to bake this batch.

While the charcoal was being burned, Li Ruyi built a new small mound of earth not far away to continue burning.

The cycle repeats every day and a lot of it comes out.

Li Ruyi worked as charcoal in his previous life.

At that time, in order to please others, she would add something to the charcoal so that it would burn differently from others.

Winter is boring everywhere, and every little trick to attract the owner requires a long time of research and consideration.

Although everything was done for survival, Li Ruyi still felt sick when she thought about it.

The head of the village asked her many questions and also joined in the fun. After several days of hard work, he also roasted some, although the quality was not as good as Li Ruyi's, as many of them were broken.

But being able to produce charcoal is a good thing.

Li Ruyi screened the charcoal burned by the two people. The better ones could be sold for more money, and the worse ones could be sold for less.

After finishing the work, she and the village head split up.

The head of the village was looking for someone to do the job and explained the matter of selling charcoal for money.

Li Ruyi, together with Li Shiwu, Li Shiliu and Li Twenty-four, took sugar, charcoal and some other things they had collected and drove a donkey cart to the provincial capital.

The journey to the provincial capital is not short.

The stupid donkey is not fast either.

If you don't rest, you will have to stay up most of the night.

If we rest at night, it will take nearly two days to get there.

However, you must rest. People can bear it, but donkeys can't.

When they were halfway there, Li Ruyi helped them build a shed, tied the donkey closer, placed the goods on the cart around, and picked up dry branches to light the fire.

Li Ershi and Li Shiwu guarded the first half of the night, Li Ruyi and Li Shiliu guarded the second half, and they spent the whole night peacefully. After daybreak, they continued on their journey.
