The queen of the end times is reborn and goes crazy, her whole family is burned to death

"A tree..."

Yan Wanwan thought for a moment, then finally decided on a price: "How about thirty cents?"

"Thirty cents?" The village chief's mouth opened in shock. "Miss Yan, are you serious? Thirty cents, really? Thirty cents to plant a tree?"

"Of course, what do you think, Village Chief?"

"Okay, that's great. I thank you on behalf of all the young men in the village."

Yan Wanwan exchanged a few more pleasantries with the village chief and then formally signed the document, finalizing the tree planting plan.

The village chief immediately informed the villagers of the news, and everyone cheered. Since everyone could make money, the road construction plan naturally received unanimous support.

Yan Wanwan also selected several efficient aunts on the spot, who would be responsible for cooking for the workers planting trees.

The workers were overjoyed to learn that they would not only receive 30 cents a day but also a hot meal.

After further discussion, the two sides found that the saplings were on the barren mountain and could be used directly.

So, everyone got to work immediately. Led by the village steward, the young and middle-aged men in the village immediately rushed to the barren mountains and started construction.

Watching the road construction progressing at a rapid pace, Yan Wanwan couldn't help but sigh at the superiority of modern engineering technology. With the help of large machinery such as road rollers, the project can be completed in just a few days. It is completely different from now when it depends entirely on manpower. Every brick, tile, sand and stone has to be stacked and carried by hand, which is time-consuming and laborious.

"Miss, at this rate, this road will be repaired within ten days."

Yan Wanwan nodded slightly, then asked, "Are there any villagers blocking the way ahead? Have you coordinated everything?"

"There is no such thing. When the villagers heard that the road would be built for them free of charge, they all readily agreed."

Yan Wanwan nodded slightly. "Go contact the village chiefs of those villages and tell them that I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with them. If you're interested, please come to the farm this afternoon for a meeting."

However, Yan Wanwan had never expected that after she said this, more than 20 village heads came in the afternoon. Among them were not only the heads of the villages involved in the road construction, but also the heads of several surrounding villages.

"Miss, there are quite a few people coming at this time. Should we turn some of them away?"

Yan Wanwan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "No need to refuse, everyone is welcome, please come in."

After more than twenty people gathered, Yan Wanwan stepped forward, her red lips parted, her voice gentle yet firm: "I invited you all here today, firstly to express my gratitude for your support and cooperation in the road construction, and secondly, I heard that your villages all grow a lot of fruits, vegetables, and grains, and I intend to purchase all the crops produced by each village."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock falling into the water, causing an uproar in the audience.

A village chief was the first to raise his doubts: "Ms. Yan, look, the food supply of our twenty-odd villages combined is not a small amount. Can you really eat it all?"

Everyone agreed. It was not that they were unwilling to sell, but they were worried that the other party would not be able to do it, and in the end they would be left with nothing but empty hope.

Yan Wanwan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I want to ship this grain south to sell. I just don't know what price you can offer. We can discuss it together."

Upon hearing this, the village heads were overjoyed. This was truly a great opportunity. With this, the villagers no longer had to go door to door selling grain, freeing themselves from the annoyance of being harassed by grain merchants who would force them to lower their prices.

If the entire village could be sold as a whole, the price would surely increase significantly, and the village chief's prestige among the villagers would also rise. How could one not be delighted by such a win-win situation?

For a moment, everyone was talking at once and rushing forward, fearing that if they were a step late, their village would miss the opportunity.

Yan Wanwan smiled and waved her hand gently, her voice soft and steady, "Don't worry, fellow villagers. The quantity we need this time is extremely large. As long as the quality of the goods in your village meets the standards, we will purchase them all. There is no need to fight over them."

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved and the scene gradually quieted down.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Wanwan changed the subject and began to talk about the second thing.

"There's something else."

Yan Wanwan raised her voice, "I have some seeds on hand, and I'd like to ask if you'd like to plant them? Once these seeds grow, Zhuangzi will definitely buy them back at a high price."

After that, a village chief immediately asked, "What if the crops fail to grow?"

Yan Wanwan smiled faintly and shook her head. "If you can't plant it, we won't charge you for the seeds you provided."

The village chief was immediately anxious. "Wouldn't this mean we'd be wasting our time growing crops? If we can't grow any crops, we'll end up with nothing to eat."

"This matter involves certain risks. You may wish to go back and consider it before making a decision."

After she finished speaking, she gestured to the servants beside her to hand everyone a booklet. The booklet contained detailed illustrations of the plants, clearly indicating the years required for their growth. The price of the seeds and the price of the fully grown plants were also clearly stated, with every detail clearly visible.

The village heads opened the booklet with suspicion, and when they saw the recycling prices marked on it, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Three or five taels?"

They were muttering to themselves, but their fingers were unconsciously turning the pages quickly. They saw that the prices at the back were getting higher and higher, sometimes as high as fifty or one hundred taels.

You know, in the past, they worked hard to dig up a wild ginseng, but they only earned a few dozen taels of silver. If they could really grow this crop, the whole village would be rich.

When they thought of this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Yan Wanwan reassured everyone, "We'll have someone at the farm to guide you through the planting process. If you have any questions, feel free to come to the farm and ask. Once the seeds have grown, we'll buy them back at the price listed in the brochure, which will undoubtedly be higher than the market price. You can rest assured."

However, some still have concerns: "What if we can't grow any crops? What will everyone eat and drink then?"

Yan Wanwan had already planned this. She suggested, "Why don't you set aside one acre of land to plant these new varieties, and plant the rest with food crops. That way, even if the new varieties fail, the food harvest will still be enough to keep you fed and clothed."

The village chief, with a calm mind, frowned slightly, secretly pondering the feasibility of this method. He calculated that he would only reserve one acre of land for the trial. That way, even if it failed, it would not cause too much impact.

The village chief raised his head, turned his gaze to Yan Wanwan, and said slowly, "Ms. Yan, this matter concerns the livelihood of the village. It is a serious matter. We need to return to the village to discuss it with everyone before we can decide whether to plant it."

Yan Wanwan smiled faintly and nodded happily, "Of course. In three days, any villagers interested in trying to plant the seeds can go to the village to register. We will then hand over the seeds to you and teach you how to plant them."

After Yan Wanwan saw the village chief off, he instructed the housekeeper to gather everyone in the village.

For a moment, hundreds of people gathered together, whispering to each other, all confused by this sudden question.

The remaining soldiers were particularly frightened, secretly wondering if Zhuangzi wanted to dismiss them because of their own disabilities.

Amidst everyone's anxiety, Yan Wanwan walked out gracefully.
