Chapter 112 Road Construction
Chapter 112 Road Construction
So the whole of February and March were busy with spring farming, raising seedlings in February and sowing in March.
At the end of March, we started making tooth powder frantically.
Finally, in mid-April, 50,000 boxes of tooth powder were sold out.
Mu Chaoge hired another fifty new talents to take care of these things, but the capital was definitely recovered, and she also made a huge profit directly.
As for the five thousand taels of silver, after deducting the cost of capital and the money for hiring people, it would cost less than fifteen hundred taels. Of the remaining three thousand five hundred taels, one tenth would be given to everyone in the old farm, and another tenth would be given to everyone in the new farm.
Mu Chaoge still had a lot left, but she threw another two thousand taels to build the road.
"It will cost a lot of money to build this road. But we have to build it. It will be worth it once it is built. Take your time. Don't be impatient."
After Mu Chaoge handed over the goods to her uncle, she had some free time.
At this moment, I was touching the freshly-made banknotes, but unfortunately, they were not even warm enough and I had to hand them over. "No, I have to think of a way."
Mu Chaoge knocked on the table and said, "Except for the place where our old farm connects with the new farm, other roads in the mountains will also pass through other villages, right?"
She thought she could make something of it.
Madam Zhou also said, "Yes, this is a road that others will take, so why should we repair it?"
Although it is a good thing.
But it is not easy for the lady to earn money. She has been very busy since the beginning of spring this year.
Anyone who sees her will say that she deserves the money!
Tired!
When Madam Zhou thought about the money she had worked so hard to earn, she had to spend two thousand taels to build a road? And it was a road that everyone would walk on together, she felt heartbroken.
Mu Chaoge understood that there were some things that he couldn't explain to Nanny Zhou, because to them there was no concept of "If you want to be rich, build roads first."
If this road is blocked, it will affect the transportation of goods. To put it bluntly, we still have to build a road.
"No, I have an idea, Xiao Taozi! Xiao Taozi? Help me call Brother Liang over!"
Little Taozi was writing outside, her hands were all covered in ink. Upon hearing this, she immediately stood up and said, "Hey! Taozi will go right away!"
She ran out in a hurry, and soon pulled Liang Yong back.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the young lady is calling you Brother Liang, maybe it's something important."
Liang Yong quickly agreed, and said with a smile: "Taozi, don't pull me, I can run faster."
When Xiao Taozi heard this, she quickly let go and said, "Oh, then go quickly! Don't make the young lady wait anxiously!"
Mu Chaoge’s words were like an imperial decree to Taozi, and she was extremely anxious.
Liang Yong did not dare to delay and went there immediately. When he arrived, he found out that the Third Miss was looking for him to repair the road. "Miss, you want to recruit volunteers?"
Mu Chaoge nodded, "Yes, I will write down the various benefits of this road construction for you. You can memorize them and then go to other villages to promote them. If anyone is willing to help build the road for free, we will pay for the materials and they will do the work. We will also provide two meals for them."
After the road is built, she will erect a large stone tablet on the side of the road and write a list of merits!
She would carve the names of all those who had participated in the road construction. This was a great opportunity to be remembered for generations to come. It depended on whether they wanted to or not.
Mu Chaoge thought that this way, she could save some labor costs and repair the road faster! "How is it? Brother Liang, do you think this is feasible?"
Liang Yong couldn't help but admire it when he heard it. He nodded and said, "It's feasible! Why not? This person cares most about incense and reputation. He can be famous for thousands of years by putting in some effort. There must be someone willing to do such a good thing!"
And since the Third Miss said that two meals would be provided, the food must be good.
Liang Yong thought there was no problem. "Don't mention this reputation. These days, life is really not that easy for everyone. If the lady says she will provide two meals, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people flocking to her. There's no fear of not being able to recruit people."
It just so happens that the spring ploughing season has just ended, so everyone is probably free.
Mu Chaoge couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "Then let Brother Liang handle this matter? If it succeeds, I will write your name on the top of the stone tablet."
Liang Yong laughed after hearing this, "I didn't do anything. If it were you, I would have to keep the Third Miss."
This is a great good deed.
Repair the road!!
How many people have been willing to spend money to build roads since ancient times? Very few.
Seeing this, Mu Chaoge really handed the matter over to Liang Yong, "By the way, wait a minute, since you said both meals are attractive, why don't you just order the meals and use them to lure them to come and work!"
She explained in advance: "Don't let anyone slack off! We have to keep an eye on them when the time comes, and set a quota at the end for them to grab. Anyone who slacks off will be reported!"
Mu Chaoge felt that his idea was brilliant! It should be able to avoid some sneaky people.
Liang Yong smiled and said no problem.
Mu Chaoge asked Nanny Zhou to bring paper and ink and started writing the menu. She guaranteed that there would be at least one meat dish for every meal and that there would be no limit on the amount of dry food available.
Anyway, you can't take it away.
Then eat whatever you want.
There is also brown sugar water to replenish energy, and various sweet soups are served in the summer.
When Liang Yong heard this, he said that these conditions were very good, and that even long-term workers in some places did not receive such treatment.
Mu Chaoge wrote down the menu and the benefits of road construction, and handed it to Liang Yong, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Brother Liang. I'll trouble you to pay attention."
Liang Yong said that he would take care of it. "It's such a great charity, and it's my honor to be able to participate."
After bowing to Mu Chaoge, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help but admire her, "Young lady is so kind and righteous. I don't know how happy the old lady will be if she knows about this."
Really want to compare.
After all, this old woman is not as far-sighted as the young lady, nor as generous as her.
Two thousand taels of silver can be invested at any time.
She might need more money later, so she invested it without blinking an eye.
I’m afraid even my uncle is not as good as her.
Lu Xingzhou really didn't dare to do this. He was shocked for several days when he received the news.
"This girl is really brave! Do you know how much money it costs to build a road? She caught up with it?"
Awesome! !
Lu Xingzhou was really shocked by her courage. Being shocked was one thing, but being surprised was another. "She is just a little girl, but she can have such an idea. She is really capable. I am afraid that many boys are not as good as her."
Mrs. Feng also laughed, "Isn't it? I was also shocked when I heard the news. The child has been busy with road construction recently and didn't even come to see us."
Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but be amazed, "No wonder this girl has been quiet recently, so she's been doing this?"
The couple were really frightened, and the other uncles and aunts were also shocked for a long time.
Finally they discussed it again.
If their little niece is so courageous, how could the adults not show some expression?
So Lu Xingzhou and Feng went to the farm in person, and saw the little girl Mu Chaoge wearing a big straw hat, walking back and forth on the side of the road, discussing with others what materials to use to build the road and how to plan the route.
