Chapter 343 New Ideas

Seeing that Dabao had adapted well to Ma Xin, Su Qingmei left the training ground and went to the market town. Reading

After leaving for a while, she, as the president of the village alliance, was somewhat derelict in her duty.

She notified the village leaders to come to the market town for a meeting early, and when she arrived, everyone was there.

"President."

"Hello, President."

There were 45 village leaders sitting in the activity center, which was much larger than before.

Su Qingmei greeted everyone with a smile and listened to everyone's greetings.

Then she officially started today's meeting.

The main concern was to see if the defense projects of the newly joined villages were done well.

"All is well. With the help of the brother villages, we have dug the village gates and trenches. We also dug traps and made concealment at the entrance to the mountain."

"That's good." Su Qingmei nodded.

In the next few years, the war in the Central Plains will definitely spread to the south. The number of mobs, rioters and refugees will also increase, and Su Qingmei doesn't want her good life to be ruined.

So each village must have the ability to protect itself.

Next is the grain issue of this year.

This year, each village is more experienced than last year, and the grain output has increased by 10% or 20%.

Who wouldn't be happy to have a full stomach?

Looking at the current bustle of the market town, we know that every family has surplus food, can eat enough, and has money in their pockets. Once there is surplus, people naturally want to spend it.

The second and third phases of the market town have been completed, and the area has expanded a lot, but there are still people coming and going on the streets.

Now each village has more than one shop.

The prosperity of the market town has stimulated the economic minds of the mountain people who have been closed for a long time and self-sufficient. It has stimulated their enthusiasm to do business to make money, then spend, eat well, drink well and use well.

Originally, the mountain people were isolated from the news and self-sufficient. They hoarded the extra food for fear of starving, but now everyone is more willing to come to the market town to exchange what they have and what they need, conduct transactions, and exchange my extra food for your abundant food.

The demand is no longer single.

And with money in their pockets, they want to eat and play.

Wei Fuchang and Xiang Shang doubled the size of the small restaurant in the market town. It was still full of people every day.

Yongfenghao saw it and immediately followed suit and opened a restaurant.

Manager Li gave Su Qingmei a 20% bonus for fear that she would jump up.

Su Qingmei gave 10% to the village chief activity center and 10% to Ma Xin, so that the brothers could maintain the order of the market town more attentively.

Many of Ma Xin's subordinates wanted to bring their families into the mountains.

With a large population, the prosperity of the market town is expected to reach a higher level.

Xingeng Village did not want to fall behind Yongfenghao, so Guo led people to open a cake shop in the market town. Originally, they thought that the business would not be good, but unexpectedly, the business was so good.

And each village also opened a number of snack shops, doing business in various snacks.

The business was also very good.

The mountain people lived a good life, and the faces of the village chiefs were radiant. They are willing to spend more on food and clothes, and their clothes have obviously improved by more than one level.

No longer gray.

Seeing Su Qing'an looking at them, the Zhongzhaizhu and the Kunzhaizhu looked at each other with a smile: "It looks good, right? Now the cloth of Yongfenghao is selling fast. If you act later, you can't buy it."

Su Qing'an nodded: "The color is quite bright."

I don't know if it's because his son has returned, his granddaughter is married, and he will have a little great-grandson soon, but the Zhongzhaizhu looks several years younger.

"Ah, is it very bright?" Zhongzhaizhu and Bai Kun quickly stretched their clothes and felt a little embarrassed.

"It looks better than the gray one. It makes you look younger." Su Qing'an said hurriedly.

The two laughed immediately when they heard it.

The president still has good vision. Isn't it to spend the money you earn? Do you have to bury it with the burial?

You can't bring it with you when you die. Why bother?

Other village chiefs mocked them, saying that they were old and coquettish. Humph, that's because they don't know how to enjoy life.

"Have the villages that didn't grow crops this winter stockpiled grain?"

Su Qing'an was worried about the other newly joined villages, which had not started to grow crops yet and were afraid that they would have a hard time in winter.

"We have stockpiled grain, we have all stockpiled grain." Seeing the president's concern, the sixteen newly joined village chiefs replied in unison.

"The brother villages are very loyal and sell us grain at a price lower than the market price. Everyone has stockpiled a lot. This year, everyone also picked tea, bought tea seeds, and sold mountain products. Every family has extra money, which is much better than before."

"Yes. In the past, families with a large population in the village cried and said that they couldn't go on, and their children had to be sold to others to survive. Now, the families with a large population earn more money. This year, the families with a large population have made a lot of money by selling various mountain products, and they all said that they plan to build new houses next year. People with small populations are very envious."

"Fortunately, we joined the allied village, otherwise life would be hard. I can't go down. Many people die every winter. "

Su Qing'an nodded: "Has the winter problem been solved?"

"Yes, yes. Those who have the conditions have built kangs, and those who don't have the conditions have borrowed money from the Lianzhai Center to build kangs. The fire basins, fire baskets, fire buckets and fire tables are all prepared at home. It should be no problem to have a warm winter."

"That's good. If there are any problems, go to the brother villages nearby for help."

"Yes."

Su Qing'an set up a difficult assistance center in the Lianzhai Center. Those who have financial difficulties or difficulties in life can ask for help from the Lianzhai Center.

You can borrow money and write an IOU, and the village chiefs of each village will guarantee it.

Since this Lianzhai has been established, she doesn't want anyone to fall behind.

She doesn't worry about those people not being able to pay back the money.

Each village will guarantee it, and then the welfare of each village will be deducted.

There are also many job opportunities in Lianzhai, and the two mines are also in great need of people.

There are not many things to do, but there are many villages. It takes a lot of time to report to each village one by one, and a day has passed.

Finally, seeing that nothing has been missed, Su Qingmei announced the adjournment of the meeting.

She decided to go to the market town to check again.

Now the winter wheat in each village has been planted. The autumn tea has been picked, and the tea fruit has been harvested. During this period, everyone mainly picks wax flowers and mountain products.

You can see mountain people carrying loads everywhere on the street.

No longer looking sad as before, everyone is in a much better spirit now. They are dressed well and the whole person is neat and tidy. Even if they are carrying heavy loads, they still have smiles on their faces.

Su Qingmei is very happy.

This is what life looks like.

This is the peaceful year she wants to see.

In the market town, the shops are bustling because they sell mountain products. There are long queues in front of the Yongfenghao and Xingengzhai shops. One collects mountain products, and the other collects wax flowers, fresh mushrooms and meat.

The mountain people coming out of the two shops counted their copper coins happily, their faces filled with the joy of a good harvest.

In front of the snack stalls, there were many children chasing the road, drooling and surrounding the snack stalls, eating a bite and squinting their eyes, enjoying it very much, and the snack stalls were bustling.

The teahouses and snack shops were also full of people, all of whom were mountain people who came to rest or to have fun and brag, and the shops were bustling with people.

Su Qing'an looked at several of her own shops and was relieved to see that the business was good.

In the past two days, she had seen the account books from Wei Fuchang. Now several shops, snack shops, tea shops, cake shops, inns, and bathing centers can earn 20 to 30 taels a day, which is a lot in a month.

And the biggest part is the medical clinic and pharmacy.

In addition to the sauce shop in Renzhou, Su Qing'an can earn several thousand taels a month.

Her purse is much fatter.

But she still had some new ideas in her mind.
