When the three of them saw Shen Jia had returned, they were very excited, especially Fuqiu, who came up and grabbed Shen Jia's hand and said:

"Jia Niang, you're finally back. Everyone has missed you these days."

"I'm glad to see you back safely. How come you're so many days later than expected?"

However, Shen Ci felt that something must have happened, otherwise it would have arrived long ago.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia smiled and said, "That must be because the time I originally planned was too idealistic. It's already been difficult for people to gather so many soybeans in the city, so I stayed in the city for a few days. I brought gifts for everyone. I'll talk to you when I get home later."

Upon hearing the news, Shen Yue jumped up happily, "Big sister, you're the best!"

After processing the soybeans in the warehouse, we invited the men who were transporting the goods to have a meal of tofu. When they heard that it was made from soybeans, they all exclaimed in disbelief.

Afterwards, Shen Jia returned to his seat and began to deal with the work that had accumulated over the past few days.

As for An He, he was arranged to live in the dormitory for the time being, and he could come to Shen's to study and work in the future. Seeing that An He was still young and not yet the working age required by the workshop, an idea began to germinate in Shen Jia's mind.

At the same time, Shen Jia's return also foreshadowed the beginning of the first round of cooperation. On this day, many people did not live in the dormitory, but chose to return to the village to tell the villagers the news.

As the first village in Lijiacun to be valued by Shen Jia, Li Qin's existence can be regarded as a name in the Shen family, not to mention that Li Chun now has a tendency to become the head manager of the workshop.

There was no way that they could do nothing in this cooperation. The village chief kept puffing on his pipe as he looked at the news brought back by Li Qin and other workers.

In fact, since more and more people in Lijia Village have been employed by Shen's, the economic situation of their village has improved greatly. Recently, even those who are looking for marriage partners, as soon as they say they are looking for someone in Lijia Village, are vying for the position.

The village chief took one last puff of his cigarette and said wistfully, "We've already heard this news from the village head. The magistrate wants everyone to reclaim wasteland, and Madam Shen wants everyone to plant soybeans for future use.

But you also know that according to the notice, one mu of land costs about 3 wen, and after a year you can get about 200 wen. Compared with growing crops, it is not profitable.

I can't guarantee how many people will be willing to do this. I'll gather everyone together tomorrow to talk about it. You guys can go back first. I know everything."

But what the village chief didn't mention was that most of the wheat fields needed to pay taxes, and coupled with the cost of their own food and drink, most people actually didn't make any money from farming.

But this time it was different. The land for growing soybeans was all barren sandy land. There was no need to pay taxes in the first five years, and generally no one would grow anything there.

If you can get a few acres of sandy land at home and earn one or two taels of silver a year, that would be more joyful than anything else.

It seemed as if Li Qin's family had known the news early on, and the family had started preparing early on. They had already opened up ten acres of sandy land near their own fields, ready to fully support the Shen family.

If Shen's company goes bankrupt, five people in their family will lose their jobs, which is unthinkable.

The Shen family was not at peace that night. Although this matter was beneficial to the country and the people, not everyone was willing to do it.

If the production does not reach the expected 10,000 acres, all the soybeans bought from the provincial capital will have to wait in the workshop and be slowly consumed.

At the same time, the whole family was happy to receive the gifts that Shen Jia brought specially from the provincial capital. Although they were not as exquisite as the previous ones, they were all ornaments with northern style and had a unique flavor.

After much anticipation, the day when Shen distributed soybeans finally arrived.

In order to facilitate the work, Shen Jia directly arranged seats around his warehouse and called ten managers to serve the villagers who wanted to participate in this cooperation.

The first people to arrive were from Lijia Village. Unlike the number of people the village chief had expected, almost every household agreed to this cooperation. However, some families had fewer laborers and limited capabilities, and the number of acres they wanted to reclaim was different.

After careful calculation, their village alone has nearly a thousand acres. The main reason is that everyone thinks they can make money by following the Shen family, which is why they are so active.

So after Shen Jia looked at Li Qin and said a few words to the old man in the lead, he led his men towards his direction.

"Boss, these are all villagers from our village. This is the village chief of Lijia Village. They came here to celebrate the opening of this grand event and take a look at the situation."

Shen Jia nodded and smiled, "So it's Village Chief Li. It seems your village is very welcoming to our Shen family's activities. I would like to express my gratitude."

"Mrs. Shen, you are too kind. It's because your Shen family has been making money for us all, and we are all very excited."

"Well, you can rest here for a while, our activities will begin soon."

When the time comes, people will flock to the place, and everyone who wants to buy or sell needs to take certain precautions in advance.

For example, every household can buy and sell soybeans with the household registration book. This time, Shen's is selling it at half price, and the money will be returned to everyone during the autumn harvest. Of course, if someone maliciously destroys it to no avail, I will also need to compensate Shen's silver.

Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden to mix other soybeans with Shen's beans in an attempt to pass inspection. Shen's will not accept such things, and you will need to compensate Shen's expenses.

Because the beans have been processed by Shen Jia, they will definitely be different from ordinary ones when they grow. Although everyone doesn't understand why Shen Jia is so sure that they are different, no one denies it.

Finally, when the soybeans are growing most luxuriantly, you can come to Shen's to get fertilizer for free with the note in your hand.

Each of these rules were set by Shen Jia after careful consideration, so after signing the contract, he took his contract, turned around to collect the soybeans, and then left.

Seeing that so many people in Lijia Village had bought the products, Shen Jia directly sent out the ox cart from his workshop to take them home.

Originally, Shen Jia thought that with so many people coming, that was enough, but many more people followed and gradually integrated into the team.

In just one day, all 60,000 kilograms of soybeans in the warehouse were processed. Seeing such a good result, Shen Jia waved his hand and decided to give the workers in the workshop an extra meal tonight.

When he heard the good news the next day, County Magistrate Wu also hurried over from the county government office.

"Niece, this time I'm so grateful for your brilliant idea. You don't know how busy our county office has been lately. We've been working tirelessly to get the land deeds signed for everyone."

From his smiling face, we can tell that although County Magistrate Wu has been very busy recently, he is still full of joy in his heart.

"This is all thanks to your status among the people, Uncle. You don't know that there are people who come here from the farthest town from us. This is all thanks to your charm."

After both sides flattered each other for a while, they finally got back to business.

In fact, Wu Wei had also heard what Shen Jia said to the villagers before signing the contract, so he asked curiously, "I wonder what the fertilizer my niece mentioned yesterday is?"

"This is a new product developed by our workshop. It has a similar effect to the farmyard manure that villagers use on a daily basis, promoting crop growth, but ours has less odor. It's still in the trial stage, so we want the villagers who grow our soybeans to try it out."

"That's great, that's great! If you can develop this fertilizer, it will be a great benefit to the people. Isn't the poor yield of most fields due to insufficient fertility?

It seems that my niece will be showing her abilities to the world again soon, so don’t forget me when she does.”

Whenever Wu Wei heard something good for the people, his mind would start working non-stop.

Now he began to think about how to bargain with Shen Jia if the thing was useful. If the price of such a good thing was too high, ordinary people would not be able to afford it.

"Of course. This thing was developed for everyone to use. I will definitely show it to everyone when the time is right."

"Then wait for good news from your niece."

County Magistrate Wu was really grateful for Shen Jia's advice on this matter, but when he gave similar ideas to other businessmen, they thought it was a joke.

And even after Shen's actions went so smoothly, he didn't show any intention of cooperating. Now he was really dumbfounded.

It seems that not everyone has such a heart for the people and the country.

With the Shen family's last acre of land planted with soybeans, their family is now a wealthy family with dozens of acres of soybeans. When autumn comes, they can also contribute to the workshop.

Shen Jia also observed the wheat seedlings that were thriving in the fields. The gap between them and other farmers was getting bigger and bigger. It would be an understatement to say that he was dazzled.

There is only less than a month left before we can start trying to harvest, and the results will surely surprise everyone.

Of course, these situations could not be hidden from the two brothers of the Shen family who were tending the wheat, but the things were made by them themselves, so they themselves were still a little confused about what was special about them.

At present, the most important thing besides wheat is that the soybean oil from Shen Jia Oil Press can be sold. Because it has little to do with tofu, she specially opened a new window at the door of the store to sell soybean oil.

Another thing is the matter of branches. After the last publicity by County Magistrate Wu, Shen's has now become a household name.

And because Shen Jia did not hide his actions, he began to attract the attention of businessmen from other counties.

At first everyone laughed at her and said she was a fool. A woman dreaming of doing something big was a complete waste of money. She was losing money but gaining publicity.

When I found that Shen Jia's reputation was getting more and more famous, I realized that I had underestimated this girl.

Of course, Shen Jia didn't know all this yet. She had been studying the map of Linyuan County recently. She wanted to open three branches directly in the county and wanted to choose the three best locations.

It can not only take into account the people in this county and town, but also, ideally, influence people in the neighboring county, laying the foundation for further expansion.

At the same time, a new round of workshop assessment officially began. This time, six managers will be selected, two for each store, to be responsible for managing all matters of the branch.

If you are officially selected, you can also choose to take your husband or wife away, but only one person is allowed. This is more than enough for four people to participate in this store.

Just when Shen Jia's career was in full swing, an unexpected person came to Ning'an Town.
