Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

To be rich, build roads first!

Qingning waved her little hand and got into a full stance.

He pointed to a few places and said, "This is the way to the town, but we have to go around the mountain and the road is not easy to walk on. This detour will take another hour."

"The path leading to the county town here is extremely narrow in several places, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to pass through."

"This river leads to the neighboring county, but there's only one ferry, so most people have to go around the river upstream or downstream, which adds another two or three hours to the journey."

"So, I thought of starting from here and building two roads outwards, cutting through mountains and building bridges across rivers."

Several people were a little worried and said, "How much manpower, material resources and financial resources will this take? Even if we sold everything, we still wouldn't be able to build very far."

Qing Ning burst out laughing, the little girl's face was bright and her eyebrows were curved with laughter.

"How can we sell it out, Aye? This road can't be built just by wanting to. It requires the joint efforts of everyone."

"First, talk to all the places, then ask each village to contribute people and money, and do it step by step."

After saying this, they became even more worried. "It's already difficult to get people from our village to contribute money, and it's even more impossible to ask other villages to contribute money and people."

Several people shook their heads, thinking that Qing Ning was daydreaming.

When Mr. Yu saw that she was not worried at all, he knew that she had a plan in mind.

"Have you figured out a plan?"

Qing Ning nodded, but was a little embarrassed. Then he said, "I have this idea. Let me tell you, Masters, if it's feasible, please tell me."

"I plan to take out a portion of my family's workshop business and share it with everyone. Well, we will all do this business together, and each family will contribute a portion of the money. At the end of the year, the total account will be calculated and dividends will be distributed according to the proportion of the contributions."

"what?"

The information was more and more devastating, and the elderly people present could hardly bear it.

Several elders went back and forth in and out of the house several times, just to try to clear their minds.

"Kid, this is your source of wealth. Are you willing to give it to the village?"

Qing Ning smiled and said, "Not all of it, let's try first. Besides, the whole village is raising funds to set up a workshop, and there are many things to do. I still need the detailed information from the elders."

"In other villages, they cooperate with us and can also set up workshops. For example, in Taoyuan Village, the candied fruit we use now is all obtained from them."

Several people thought about it and said, "Yes, yes, those villages made a lot of money last year, so we should start with them."

"If the volume increases, and your workshop can't handle it or sell it, what will happen? Have you ever thought about it?"

Old Master Yu was not completely overwhelmed by all this.

Qing Ning: "So sales are the top priority. Besides Uncle Xu, I'm thinking of asking other big merchants to discuss cooperation."

"Besides, you can't become fat in one go. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that Fu Sheng Ji's products are in short supply and monopolize the market. Then I'll introduce new products, expand the market, and increase cooperation. Increasing production now shouldn't be a big problem."

"Besides, this can't be accomplished by the efforts of one person or a whole village. If godfather doesn't contribute, it won't work."

It would be foolish not to use it, right? Besides, if we really want to build a road, how long will it take for us to make money from it?

There are so many wealthy families in the town and county, can't they donate some? Building roads and bridges is not just for their convenience, it's a matter of people's livelihood.

Old Master Yu looked at her and laughed while shaking his head. The man was so cunning that he was exposed.

"Let's not talk about the rest for now. These things will keep us busy for two to three years. Let's take it one step at a time. Clan leader, please find families in the village who are trying to grow crops. Choose those who are diligent, conscientious, and experienced."

The head of the Chen family said: "I'll take care of this. I already know what to do."

"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief, please go around to the surrounding villages. If they want to cooperate with us, please bring me to discuss it with them."

"Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow."

"Let's take out the three workshops: embroidery, accessories, and textiles. Although these three have low production volumes, they are the most profitable and long-term. How much money should be collected from each household in the village? How should it be distributed? How should it be managed? The elders also need to submit a written petition. If the funds are insufficient, I will cover the bulk."

"Also, if the yield of oil-producing crops increases in the future, the village will build an oil press, and the location for the press will also need to be carefully planned."

We must also make reservations for future development and cannot build step by step.

"I'll listen to you. This weaving? What kind of fabric is it?"

"Silk and cotton."

"Hey, how can we understand this?"

"Don't worry, Fathers. I'll take this matter to heart. I'll ask Uncle Xu to find someone to teach us when the time comes."

She didn't know how to do it either, so she had to ask others for help.

"Okay, we feel relieved with your words."

Qing Ning suddenly looked at Grandpa Yu and smiled sweetly.

"Stop laughing. I've seen it all. Just tell me."

Qing Ning pursed her lips and pouted in dissatisfaction, "I am cute."

"Grandpa Yu, as for the donation for road construction, I still need you to come with me to find my godfather."

"Just go by yourself. How can your godfather and godmother let you down?"

"It's because you have great prestige, Grandpa Yu, that even the prince's tutor is so respectful to you."

Qingning's eyes just kept blinking, full of innocence.

It was clear to Old Master Yu what this girl was planning.

This means he is asked to ask Prince Fu for money. He even says he can ask Xue Jingtang for money. But does Xue Jingtang need him to go find him?

I have to admire this girl's keen observation skills.

Qing Ning thought to herself, there is nothing I can do, since she is more than five years old.

"Okay, I'll go."

"Hehe, Grandpa Yu is the best, the most amazing. I really admire Grandpa Yu."

"Oh? How do you admire me?"

"A man of letters can rule the world with his pen, and a man of warriors can conquer the world on horseback. He soars proudly like an eagle, towering like a mountain, possessing the tenacity of plum and willow trees, and the excellence of pine and cypress trees..."

"Stop, stop, stop~ Okay, I get it, we'll go tomorrow."

Although Mr. Yu had a look of disgust on his face, he couldn't suppress his words, which betrayed him completely.

Yu Qi and Yu Shi watched with twitching eyes. This little girl was too good at flattering them. They couldn't stand it any longer.

Otherwise, ask them next time, how are they?

Several elders of the clan were also amused and laughed. Jiang Zhaolai called them three times before they set out to have dinner at the Chen family.

After dinner, the group went into the study to continue their discussions.

Where will the workshop be built? How much will each household contribute? How will the profits be divided?

How many managers, how many workers, how many? How to manage? How to determine penalties and rewards?

Where to sell? Wait~

How much will each household contribute to the road construction? How many people will be involved? What materials will be used? How wide will it be? Where will it start and end?

How much is the daily wage per person? Who is responsible for each section?

Is this also the case with this trial planting? Who is doing this trial planting? How much should they plant? How much seeds should they be given? How will they be compensated if they panic?

Every detail has been carefully thought out, but further discussion is needed on the details.

Before we knew it, a lot of snow had accumulated outside during this discussion.

Each family came to urge again and again before they finally made a rough decision.
