Everyone is Fleeing Famine, I Have a Granary Full of Supplies

Song Ning transmigrated and found herself in an ancient era plagued by famine. Her family couldn't get enough to eat or warm clothes, and a group of problematic relatives were waiting to mock h...

Chapter 271 To get rich, build roads first

Yunniang chuckled, "Still young? You are now the most capable person in Tianxiang County. At your age, not to mention women, even men are not as good as you. It hasn't been long, and you have already built up these businesses."

In the eyes of the people in Tianxiang County, Song Ning has already earned more money than some people could earn in a lifetime, and has done things that most women of this era have never done or even dared to do.

"Don't worry, the money you put in first will definitely double back later."

Song Ning is paralyzed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and she currently has no extra money left for herself.

Before picking cotton, every penny had to be split in two.

Before October, most of the roads in Tianxiang County had been completed; all that remained was to build the roads.

Song Ning and Zheng Gaoyi had discussed it and decided to convene a meeting first.

Today, the majority of people in Tianxiang County are working-class, and most of them do not have high purchasing power. The most important task going forward is to increase everyone's income.

When incomes go up, living standards go up, people live happier lives, and then we have to consider other things, right?

No matter how well Tianxiang County is developed now, it wouldn't be possible without the care and support of everyone.

Therefore, Song Ning asked the county magistrate to gather everyone together to discuss the next steps.

Next, they need to repair the roads. Zheng Gaoyi plans to pave all four main streets in the east, west, south, and north with stone slabs. Song Ning has seen stone slab roads in other places. They are good at first, but they become dirty and messy over time, especially in summer when they are full of flies.

Therefore, Song Ning proposed setting up trash cans on the streets, one at intervals, and having the government hire people to collect them regularly.

"Tianxiang County was built by our own hands; it's our home, so we should take good care of it. The better the environment in the county, the more people will come. The more people there are, the more money we'll make. With money, we can build big houses and have meat and wine to eat and drink every day... Don't you all want to make more money?"
