Chapter 136 If you want to be rich, you must first cut down trees
Yan Xiaorui handed over the account book and breathed a sigh of relief. This day had been exhausting for her. All the herbs had to be stored one by one, and this was her first time doing statistics. The data hadn't matched several times, and she was exhausted.
At this moment, when she saw Yan Wanwan, the first thought in her mind was that she could finally get rid of this hot potato and she could finally be free.
"This is a statistical list of all the herbs stored in the warehouse. Please check if there are any mistakes or omissions."
Yan Wanwan didn't even glance at it and casually put the booklet aside. Yan Xiaorui couldn't help but frown and asked, "Don't you want to take a look?"
"Well, I trust you to do things for me."
Yan Xiaorui pursed her lips and spoke mysteriously, "Little sister, this batch of herbs is quite a lot. Are you sure anyone will buy it? If it really can't be sold, I'll write a letter to mother and our family can take over."
"Don't worry, I've already received the deposit, and they'll be picking up the goods today."
Yan Xiaorui smiled and handed her the warehouse key, reminding her: "Be careful when doing business. Make sure you pay and receive the goods first. Don't let anyone cheat you."
"Sister, are you still worried about me doing things?"
Yan Xiaorui was still full of doubts, but she had no idea that that very night, all the herbs in the warehouse disappeared completely as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
In fact, these herbs have been quietly transferred by Yan Wanwan to the pharmaceutical factory in the end times.
There, with the help of advanced technology and equipment, herbs are quickly synthesized into finished medicines.
Two days later, a unique new pharmacy quietly opened in the city.
Unlike other traditional medicine shops, there are no doctors in this store, and what they sell are not ordinary herbs, but granular pills.
This novel pill aroused everyone's curiosity, and some people couldn't help but come forward to ask about its usage.
The waiter in the store politely explained that this was a unique method of medicine making that the county lady had learned during her travels. The people only needed to choose the appropriate medicine according to their own symptoms and then take it with water.
This method of taking medicine is simple and convenient, and the price of the medicine is very affordable.
At first, many people were skeptical and bought the medicine just to give it a try. However, the results were far beyond their expectations: the medicine was extremely effective and almost cured the disease.
Soon, word of mouth spread and the reputation of this pharmacy gradually became famous.
In addition, the store has also launched an innovative ointment patch.
This ointment is carefully made with honey. When used, just apply it on the corresponding acupuncture points to achieve almost the same therapeutic effect as taking Chinese medicine, and the effect is extremely fast.
This ointment became an instant hit upon its release, with people snapping it up in droves. Not only was it highly effective, but the price was also half that of herbal remedies, making it affordable for even less affluent families and earning widespread acclaim.
At that moment, Xiao Tao compiled the records of past scientific expeditions that she had carefully collected into a book. Yan Wanwan flipped through a few pages and suddenly felt dizzy.
"Miss, what do you want this booklet for? Are you also planning to take the imperial examination?" Xiao Tao asked curiously.
Yan Wanwan quickly shook her head, "No, I don't want to experience the hardship of studying again in this life."
She thought of the days before the end of the world and thought to herself that things were pretty good now and that she should leave the scientific research to those ambitious young people.
Although summarizing the exam content is not her strong point, she has a supercomputer brought by the apocalypse!
Just input all the scientific examination contents, and the computer will make an accurate review plan based on the scope of the scientific examination and give key recommendations.
In ancient times, few people had the habit of predicting questions and doing real exam questions. However, Yan Wanwan came from a province with a high number of college entrance examination candidates, so these operations were easy for her.
After a whole night of analysis and integration, the supercomputer quickly provided the optimal test-taking strategy and several sets of high-quality exercises.
Yan Wanwan immediately arranged for the printing of thousands of test papers and sent them to several schools in Nanping Prefecture to ensure that every candidate taking the imperial examination had a copy.
Thinking about the urgency these students are about to experience like the college entrance examination, Yan Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little gloating, thinking that it would be interesting to visit the school occasionally.
However, what she did not expect was that the candidates were all moved after seeing these real questions.
They could not imagine that the county lady, a village woman, would sacrifice so much for their future. At first, they were just touched, but when they saw the answer, this emotion sublimated into deep admiration.
They all praised Yan Wanwan's novel and unique ideas, which seemed to have opened a new door for them and increased their confidence in this scientific expedition.
Many scholars scoffed at Yan Wanwan's background, believing that she was just an ordinary woman who was lucky enough to be recognized by Lord Lu and married to General Qin. She herself had no abilities, so what constructive advice could she give?
However, the answer given by Yan Wanwan was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the arrogance and prejudice in their hearts. Her foresight and perception of the court were far more acute and thorough than theirs, making her worthy of being a prime minister of the country.
Reality is like a ruthless hand that slapped them hard in the face, making them understand deeply that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Now all the students put their best efforts into doing the real test papers, and they must not let the county lady down.
Seeing everyone rolling up their sleeves frantically, Yan Wanwan suddenly recalled the countdown to the college entrance examination and left in disappointment.
While the students were praising Yan Wanwan, she had already devoted herself to infrastructure work. She felt that the mindless work of working hard was more suitable for her.
The construction of the main urban area of Nanping Prefecture has been basically completed, but the development of surrounding villages is still slow due to factors such as roads, which is far from what Yan Wanwan expected.
After investigation, Yan Wanwan found that the plants growing around were thick and growing rapidly.
As the saying goes: If you want to be rich, start by chopping trees.
So she built factories on a large scale, cut down these plants and processed them into furniture and other items, trying to promote the development of surrounding villages.
Soon the news that the factory was recruiting spread throughout Nanping Prefecture. The wages were paid monthly, two taels of silver per month. Women were also allowed to apply, but children under the age of sixteen were not accepted.
Although many children in ancient times got married and had children before the age of sixteen, their bodies were not fully developed, and this kind of heavy work would affect their development and even their lives.
But her good intentions attracted a lot of opposition. Children from poor families have to grow up early. If they don't earn more when they are young, how can they get married, have children and support their families in the future?
Yan Wanwan really didn't expect everyone to react like this, but not all children are suitable for studying, so she made a moderate suggestion. She opened technical schools in various places. As long as they graduated successfully from the technical school, they could directly work in the factory she opened, and the salary was half a tael of silver more than the recruited personnel.
Her action immediately excited the young people in Nanping Prefecture. They failed to get into school and thought that their life would be over. Unexpectedly, the county lady gave them a bright way out. Everyone was extremely grateful to her.
Since then, the people of Nanping Prefecture, regardless of gender, age or status, have developed a special sense of closeness to Yan Wanwan.
This emotion took root and sprouted unconsciously, bringing everyone together and making Nanping Prefecture united and united beyond imagination.
