Just as the Jing family was busily preparing for their next move, the construction of Xiaoliangzhuang was also in full swing.

The chicken coop is basically completed, and the first batch of mushrooms has begun to sprout. The villagers can feel new hope every day.

That evening, Li Hanliang and Han Jianguo rested on a large rock at the entrance of the village.

Han Jianguo lit a cigarette and said with emotion, "Hanliang, I really admire you. You managed to arrange all of this so well in such a short time."

Li Hanliang smiled and said, "Old Han, this is not just my achievement. Everyone was involved. Without the help of the villagers, my plan could not have been completed so quickly."

As night fell, the croaking of frogs echoed from the distant fields, and the entire Xiaoliangzhuang village was immersed in a peaceful and hopeful atmosphere.

Li Hanliang silently prayed that everything would get better.

The next day, the villagers of Xiaoliangzhuang continued their hard work.

Li Hanliang walked into the mushroom cultivation area and observed it carefully. "Old Han, what do you think of these mushrooms?"

Han Jianguo bent down to inspect it. "It looks very good. We can harvest the first batch in another week."

Li Hanliang nodded. "That's great. This way, our food supply chain can be stabilized as soon as possible. Then we won't have to worry about the Jing family's threat anymore."

“That’s right,” Han Jianguo said with a smile, “but we still need to work harder to ensure everything goes smoothly.”

The two continued to inspect the farmland and discuss their next steps.

Suddenly, a villager rushed over and said, "Boss Li, Old Han, there's something you might need to know. I just heard that someone came to the village to inquire about us. They might be informants from the Jing family."

Li Hanliang's expression hardened. "Understood. We'll handle this. You can go back to work now."

After the villagers left, Han Jianguo frowned and said, "Has the Jing family finally noticed this place? We need to be careful and not let them ruin our efforts, after all, all of this has not come easily."

“No problem,” Li Hanliang said firmly. “No matter how many tricks the Jing family uses, they can’t stop us. Just stay vigilant and proceed as planned.”

With the success of mushroom cultivation, the villagers of Xiaoliangzhuang are full of confidence and their enthusiasm for work is increasing.

However, the danger has not been completely eliminated, and the future remains full of unknowns.

Soon after, one morning, sunlight shone through the clouds onto every inch of Xiaoliangzhuang.

Li Hanliang stood under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, looking around with confidence in his heart.

"Fellow villagers, we have worked hard during this period, but everyone has seen our initial results," Li Hanliang said loudly. "The aquaculture industry has already taken shape. Next, we will develop fisheries and foreign trade. This will not only increase our income, but also further consolidate our position."

The villagers nodded in agreement, their morale soaring.

"Boss Li, we are willing to follow you, as long as you can give us a better life!" an old villager said excitedly.

Li Hanliang smiled and nodded, "Okay! We will make detailed plans to ensure that every industry in Xiaoliangzhuang flourishes."

After the meeting, Li Hanliang met with Han Jianguo to discuss the next steps.

"Mr. Han, do you have any good suggestions regarding the fisheries sector?" Li Hanliang asked.

Han Jianguo pondered for a moment and said, "There is a pond nearby with very good water quality. We can try raising fish there. In addition, I heard that there are some fishermen there who are very experienced. We can have them as our technical consultants and cooperate with them."

Li Hanliang nodded in agreement, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow we'll go talk to those fishermen about cooperation. Also, we need to establish a fishery base as soon as possible. That way, the basic structure of our aquaculture base will be formed."

"The fishery issue has been resolved. Regarding foreign trade, I suggest starting with the local market and then gradually expanding to surrounding counties and even more distant places," Han Jianguo continued.

"Hmm, that's a good idea, but we still need a sales team to expand the market. However, we must keep an eye on the Jing family's movements; they definitely won't let us have an easy time," Li Hanliang pondered.

After discussing it, Li Hanliang decided to contact the fishermen that very day.

Li Hanliang led several villagers to the nearby pond.

"Excuse me, sir, are you a fisherman here?" Li Hanliang asked a middle-aged man who was hauling in his nets.

The man looked up at Li Hanliang and nodded. "Yes, I am a fisherman here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

“We would like to cooperate with you to raise fish in this pond,” Li Hanliang said sincerely.

"Fish farming? Who are you?" the man asked, somewhat puzzled.

Li Hanliang introduced himself: "I am a villager from Xiaoliangzhuang and also the owner of a restaurant in the county. We are currently developing the fishing industry and hope to cooperate with you."

After listening, the man thought for a moment and said, "If your conditions are suitable, I can consider cooperating. However, fish farming is not an easy task and requires a lot of manpower and resources."

"We have ample manpower and resources, what we lacked were people with technical expertise. Now that you've joined us, the technical support issue has been resolved," Li Hanliang said.

"Alright, come back tomorrow and we'll discuss the details." The man readily agreed.

After leaving the pond, Li Hanliang felt much more relaxed.

Back in the village, he gathered some young villagers to discuss the formation of a sales team.

"Everyone, we not only want to sell in the local market, but also promote our products to surrounding counties and even further afield," Li Hanliang said. "Who would like to join the sales team?"

The villagers enthusiastically signed up, and Li Hanliang selected several experienced and energetic young people to form a sales team.

“You need to develop the local market first. This is not an easy task, after all, the Jing family may target us, so I can understand if you are unwilling to do it,” Li Hanliang instructed.

"Boss Li, don't worry about that. If the Jing family dares to come, I'll make sure they regret it. After all, Jing Wenqiang bullied us a lot back then. We couldn't be happier to have such an opportunity now," one of the villagers said excitedly.

Seeing this, Li Hanliang had nothing more to say, but he still reminded them to be careful of the Jing family's methods.

Early the next morning, Li Hanliang returned to the pond to discuss the cooperation details with the fisherman.

The fishermen readily agreed, after all, making money is extremely tempting for people in this day and age.
