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

Everyone was whispering and discussing the planning plan on display, and even the people outside were rushing forward to take a closer look.

The people at the top saw the reactions of everyone present, but were in no hurry to speak.

Seeing that the situation was difficult to calm down, Xue Jingtang spoke up to call the host back.

"To all the gentlemen present here, the heads of families, and all the people who care about the people's livelihood, this county plan was jointly decided by His Royal Highness Prince Fu, Tang Fuyi, Mr. Yu, and Chen Qingning, the head of Fushengji."

"This involves the entire county's agricultural development, commercial trends, livelihood resettlement, and so on. After reviewing it, we all feel it is feasible."

"Start with Changqing Town as a pilot, and then gradually expand outward. Of course, this process won't happen overnight; it will require time, manpower, and material resources to gradually support it. Furthermore, to be honest, His Royal Highness Prince Fu has already submitted a letter to the Emperor, issued a military order, and established a ten-year agreement."

"You can imagine our determination to build Ruyi County well. Chenjia Village has tried to grow a lot of foreign crop seeds, and cotton is one of them that is good news for us."

Xue Jingtang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his whole body was filled with emotion. This was a great cause that would benefit all the people, and it was such an honor for him to be the first to do it.

He explained each item in detail: what road would be built? Where would the bridge be built? How would each village grow crops according to local conditions? Where would the workshops be built? What would be produced? How would the products be sold? Where would they be sold?

How can the government support you? How can we cooperate with you? You just need to plant and raise the crops, and the government will take care of the marketing.

The government bears the losses, and everyone shares the gains.

Regardless of whether you are a farmer, a businessman or a wealthy person, as long as you participate, you must follow this.

Schools, orphanages, nursing homes, and convalescent homes are all open to the public.

Xue Jingtang spoke excitedly, and the people below were excited.

"So, this is a major event for us in Ruyi County, a matter that concerns our future generations. Who doesn't want to have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, land to farm, a roof over their heads, and medical care when sick? Why can't the saying that children should be taken care of and the elderly taken care of become a reality?"

"Okay, okay~"

Snap ...

"Your Excellency is right. This is all we common people ask for."

"People can live and work in peace and contentment without getting in our way."

Xue Jingtang raised his hand to signal for silence.

"So, we're holding this fundraising event today, not for others, but for ourselves. Those who have money can give more, and those who don't have a few cents won't mind."

"Not only that, the superiors are sympathetic to the difficulties faced by merchants and have offered similar conditions to the next best ones: a national trade pass for the top ten."

Xue Jingtang looked at the faces of the merchants calmly.

"And His Royal Highness Prince Fu has granted grace. The merchant who has made the greatest contribution this time can recommend the most virtuous and talented young man in his clan. He can leave the city and become Mr. Xianshi's disciple."

"what?"

"Are you serious about what Mr. Ming said?"

"Aren't you trying to trick me?"

》》》》》

At first they thought they were leaving their country and clan, and they were probably unwilling to do so.

But they never thought that they were the ones who were short-sighted.

How could the merchants below not be excited? They could escape from the status of merchants and become disciples of a leisurely family. In the future, they could take the imperial examinations. Even if they set up their own business, what difference would it make?

He is still the eldest son of the family and still carries his ancestral surname.

"Mingfu, I will donate half of my worth."

"Me too, most of my worth."

"And I."

The situation was a little out of control for a while, and the servants had to come out to maintain the situation.

After the scene quieted down, Xue Jingtang continued, "This matter is serious. His Royal Highness Prince Fu, Fu Yi, and Mr. Yu are Mr. Xianshi's adoptive fathers, so they would not bring this up as a joke."

"Also, regardless of whether you are rich or poor today, and regardless of the amount of your donation, this county will erect a monument outside the county gate, inscribing the names of all those who donated generously, so that merchants and future generations can remember them."

"Regardless of that, when it comes to improving people's livelihoods, all those who have contributed will be honored on the monument of merit."

"His Royal Highness Prince Fu also wrote a letter to the Emperor, requesting an imperial decree praising his virtues. This is a first for our Great Xia Dynasty and an unprecedented initiative!"

"I will display the progress of all these plans in front of the county government office every six months. I will also detail the uses and balance of the donations collected, and display them together at that time to give everyone a fair explanation."

Sometimes what people need is this kind of spiritual power, a leader with courage, passion and direction.

Not to mention the people downstairs, even the ladies on the second floor were all excited when they heard it.

For a moment, the crowd was excited and rushed to get in.

Those who have money donate, and those who don’t have money sign up to work.

The document record office was crowded at once, but Xue Jingtang didn't care and sat there to take down the names himself. He felt a sense of accomplishment only when he participated in such a big event.

Prince Fu and his companions also found it interesting. They spent most of the day looking here and there, and occasionally helped count the money.

By the time the fundraising was over, the lights had already been turned off.

Manager Xu of Shiwei Pavilion was also thoughtful and arranged for the kitchen to prepare meals. All the wealthy people who contributed money and effort today would have dinner provided by Shiwei Pavilion.

Prince Fu and his companions were even more impressed with the Xu family. Not only were they generous with their money, but they were also always the leader without being pretentious. The shopkeepers under them were all so decisive and capable.

After a quick meal, he counted and calculated all the money he had collected that day in front of everyone.

Then it was packed into boxes, sealed with official seals, and placed directly into the official treasury, and the yamen officials were arranged to guard it in shifts every twelve hours.

It was almost late at night when we finished all this. The wind was strong and the snow outside had subsided, but the food pavilion was still bustling with activity and people were bustling about.

The most important thing today is, who will come out on top?

Only after the clerk had verified that everything was correct did he hand the donation book over to Xue Jingtang.

Xue Jingtang looked at the name at the top and scanned the crowd.

He suppressed his emotions and handed the notebook to Prince Fu and others to look at.

"Your Highness, please make the announcement."

Prince Fu looked at Old Man Yu, who smiled and said, "You are Prince Fu, you are the most respected, it is best for you to make the announcement."

Prince Fu stood up, cleared his throat, and looked at everyone.

After a long pause, which had made his men anxious, he finally said, "The Mo family donated the most money today, totaling 18,000 strings of cash."

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

"The Mo family has donated all their wealth, right?"

"Wow, I've never seen so much money before."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Mo family is really brave enough to spend so much money."

"Oh, wrong, wrong. If I had known earlier and donated more, this would be mine."

"Yes."

"Alas, it's useless to blame me. Even if I offer my entire fortune, I still can't compare to you."

There is envy, regret, jealousy, and all kinds of emotions mixed together.

The head of the Mo family stepped forward excitedly and clamored three times to Prince Fu and his men.

As soon as she looked up, tears streamed down her face. "Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Fu, Mr. Tang, Mr. Xue, and Mr. Yu. My Mo family will have a chance to rise again."

After saying this, he no longer cared about his dignity and burst into tears.

Prince Fu was at a loss, not knowing whether to help or persuade, and he didn't know how to start.

Qian Shen hurried forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the head of the Mo family. The head of the Mo family then realized his loss of composure, apologized and wiped away his tears.

An important event concerning the future development of Ruyi County began in such a grand manner.

After a day of disdain, the next morning the whole street was talking about it.

Some people didn't believe it and even went to the county government office to check its authenticity. Only when they saw that the county map planning plan was indeed displayed there did they believe it was true.

After the Mo family returned, the whole family stayed up all night and finally chose one person after careful consideration and screening.
