Chapter 269 The Hope of the Village
According to Qin Yao's idea, the best fleet model is half fixed and half guerrilla.
Liu Fei raised his hand, "What is guerrilla warfare?"
Qin Yao explained: "It's not fixed."
Everyone nodded and understood.
Liu Zhong asked: "Does the fixed one refer to the long-term lease of our factory?"
"It's not renting." Qin Yao shook her head, "It's buying."
And they all bought horse-drawn carriages. Horses have good endurance and fast speed, and are more convenient than ox-drawn carriages for long-distance transportation.
Qin Yao's family has an ox cart, which can be rented to the stationery factory. For daily purchases over short distances, an ox cart is enough.
"Then how many horse-drawn carriages do we need to buy?" Liu Bo asked a little excitedly. After all, he was in charge of transportation now. And according to his third brother's wife, they would have to deliver the goods to the customers' doorsteps in the future.
Places outside Kaiyang County are unimaginable for the villagers. Besides being excited, they are also worried.
However, Qin Yao told them that she would personally lead the team to complete the transportation task of this order. With her taking the lead, Liu Bo and Liu Fei immediately felt relieved, and their buttocks had slightly left the bench and sat down instantly.
Qin Yao said: "The divine power book box takes up a lot of space, so we definitely can't use a regular carriage or car bed. We need to change to a car with a trailer so that we can fit more."
"Based on the carrying capacity of a trailer truck, the transport team needs to maintain the transport capacity of ten to fifteen carriages all year round. However, purchasing fifteen carriages at once is a bit costly for us who are just starting out."
"So, our factory will buy seven carriages ourselves, and for the rest, we will choose to sign long-term lease contracts with nearby carriage drivers."
"There are many ways to cooperate, including annual or monthly packages, and settlement based on the number of times. It is quite free and flexible."
Liu Bo and Liu Fei nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that Qin Yao's idea was very good.
The village chief asked Qin Yao curiously, "Can my family's horse carriage also come to our factory to help transport things?"
Qin Yao smiled and nodded, "Of course, our villagers can also sign these lease contracts."
The village chief was delighted and asked hurriedly, "How much is the annual rent and monthly rent?"
Qin Yao said, "According to the market price, I have sent Liu Ji out to inquire today. When the time comes, I will write a price list and hang it up so that it will be clear at a glance."
The village chief said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, I believe you. Can you leave a copy for my Liu Qi's father first?"
Qin Yao nodded, and immediately signaled Liu Bo to remember the village chief's carriage and give it a spot first.
However, Qin Yao also made it clear that since you have joined her team, you must abide by the rules of her team and follow the standards she set.
For example, when the convoy is formed later, she will provide training to the drivers on field escort in advance.
When the village chief heard this, he was even more surprised. Everyone knew that Qin Yao was knowledgeable and if she was willing to teach, they would definitely learn well!
"If his father doesn't learn well, just tell me and I'll take care of him!" The village chief patted his chest and said to Qin Yao with full energy.
Liu Qi scratched his head and secretly wiped the cold sweat for his own father.
The matter of the motorcade was also passed unanimously, and Qin Yao asked everyone if they had any other questions.
Everyone shook their heads. This was enough to bother them right now, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Since everyone has no questions, let's end today's short meeting here."
Qin Yao stood up, raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up, and said seriously: "The meeting is adjourned!"
When the people who were standing upright heard the words "adjournment", they suddenly felt relaxed and became lazy and slack.
Just then, someone in front of us called for lunch and everyone dispersed.
Qin Yao asked Liu Zhong to come to her after dinner to withdraw money for the purchase of carriages. Liu Zhong happily agreed and quickly grabbed Liu Qi, who was in a hurry to eat, and asked this boy to help him calculate how much it would cost to buy so many carriages.
After all, his family has bought a horse-drawn carriage before and has experience.
Qin Yao invited the village chief and the clan leader to have a quick meal in the open space in front. The two elders waved their hands and said that they had just eaten in the morning and were still full.
Qin Yao accompanied the two elders and slowly walked back to the village, and asked about the registration and reporting to the government.
This is a top priority. If it is not done properly, the government will have ten thousand reasons to close down her stationery factory or collect exorbitant taxes.
Although Qin Yao felt that the Kaiyang County Magistrate would not do this now, the people who often did these things were the most insignificant clerks in the yamen.
The old people in the village always say: "It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little ghosts."
For the lower-class people, the little power held by the petty officials, such as collecting taxes and arresting criminals, is just enough to suppress ordinary farmers.
The village chief told Qin Yao not to be nervous and just focus on running the stationery factory. He had already informed the head of the village in advance.
As for filing the application with the government, there is no rush because we cannot enter the city at the moment.
"After the refugees have dispersed, you can go to the government office to place an order." The village chief said with a smile, "I will go with you then."
Qin Yao didn't expect that the village chief would actually help greet the head of the village in advance. She was surprised and a little touched.
At this moment, she knew that the beautiful vision they had made together before was not taken as a joke by the village chief, but was really being pursued towards its realization.
When they reached the fork in the road, the village chief and the clan leader signaled Qin Yao not to see them off and to go about her business. Before parting, the two old men happily told Qin Yao, "Do your best."
If the two elders were alive in modern times, they would definitely add one more sentence at this moment - you are the hope of our entire village!
Qin Yao nodded heavily, watched the two elders walk away, then turned and walked towards home.
Liu Ji was not at home, and the four children were all out playing, so the yard was empty.
Qin Yao unlocked the warehouse, took out two boxes of tea, and some dry goods brought back from the city, and delivered them to the village chief and clan leader's homes.
After a while, the two elders went back to the fields. Qin Yao handed the things to their family members and said something to them when passing by the field. The two elders were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Knowing that Qin Yao was thanking them for greeting the village head, they didn't bother to be polite with her.
The clan leader even joked, "I'm old now, and my teeth are not in good condition. Remember to bring some soft snacks next time!"
"You are such a person, you are taking advantage of the fact that Yao Niang is so polite!" the village chief sneered.
The clan leader laughed loudly, most of his teeth had fallen out, but he was not angry at all. Seeing Qin Yao still standing on the side of the road and laughing at the two old men, he quickly stopped laughing, waved his hand, and chased her away.
Qin Yao nodded with amusement. With their tribesmen on their backs, the two old men acted like children, completely losing their former dignity.
When Qin Yao returned to the factory, everyone had finished lunch and were sitting in groups of three or four in the open space to rest.
He left half a jar of food for her, and Qin Yao sat aside to eat with him in her arms. Yunniang hurried over to her to discuss something that had been missed in the meeting just now - the shoulder straps for the bookcase had not been found yet!
