Chapter 184 The Shen Family Arrives
He then covered his mouth and made sure that the words he had just spoken were very quiet, and only then did he feel relieved.
Jun Mo looked at her surprised expression and couldn't help laughing, so he reached out and touched her head.
"Don't be nervous. No one else can hear you. Tao Zhiwen is one of us."
Then he took her into his arms.
"Next, we just need to wait for the approval documents to come down, and then we can buy Guanping Village, but it's a bit difficult to tell everyone about it."
Su Hanchu listened and spoke with hesitation.
"It's definitely not feasible to buy it directly. Our ancestors have lived there for so many years. But we can first transfer the wasteland on the hilltops to our Jun family, then we can build an oil press and invite villagers to work. When the time comes, we can sign a contract and make everyone ours.
As for mining, have Uncle Liu start buying a group of people and training them first. We'll slowly mine when we find the right opportunity, depending on future developments. Once mining begins, we'll have to address the villagers' housing and livelihood issues, and we also have to avoid being discovered."
Jun Moye nodded slightly after hearing this.
"We have to take it slow. After all, Guanping Village is in our hands now. As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of others, it will be fine."
In the following days, both of them started to get busy.
With the support and cooperation of Chenzhou Prefecture.
The paperwork for the barren mountain that Jun Moye had his eyes on was soon approved. After completing the formalities at the yamen, Jun Moye and the father and son of the Su family went out early and came back late. They each took their own actions and began to personally go to various major brokerage firms to select people. Under the current circumstances, it was of course impossible to raise private soldiers openly, but they could start to train secret guards, assassins, and spies.
He also invited Uncle Zhou and others to build houses, transformed the barren hills into a manor, and built large houses to facilitate the extraction of vegetable oil.
At the same time, it was named Chuye Villa.
Su Hanchu also instructed Zhang the blacksmith to make more equipment for pressing vegetable oil.
At the same time, Su Hanzhi was assigned an additional task, which was to collect peanuts, rapeseed, and beans from each town when delivering mushrooms.
Following the notice posted by Chenzhou Prefecture, the people were encouraged to learn how to grow mushrooms from the Jun family.
Many people now know that mushrooms can be grown not only from the mountains but also by themselves.
Because the mushroom shop and oil press are still under construction, it is impossible to bring all the villagers who want to learn mushroom farming to our home, and the Jun family does not have that much space.
Finally, Jun Moye came forward and proposed to Chenzhou Prefecture that the head of each village should select a few people to learn how to grow mushrooms, and then go back to teach the people in the village. In addition, each village must sign an agreement after learning, and the mushrooms grown can only be supplied to the Jun family within three years.
The Chenzhou government was very happy to show up in front of the people to gain their favor, and even came to the Jun family to learn how to grow mushrooms with the villagers.
Of course, the people who came were not only Shenzhoufu, but also Shen Luoyun and Shen Luoxue.
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu politely invited the person into the Jun family.
A group of people were standing in the Jun family's yard, and Su Hanchu had already asked people to prepare corn cobs.
Jiang Like asked two servants to bring a chair to Chenzhoufu, but Chenzhoufu waved his hand.
"No, no, since we are here to study, we should naturally join everyone."
As if he could see that the villagers who came to study were a little reserved, Chenzhoufu had a gentle smile on his face.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm here today to learn how to grow mushrooms, just like you all. We should all learn from the Jun family."
Soon Su Hanchu began to personally guide the villagers in growing mushrooms.
"First, we need to boil these corn cobs at high temperature to sterilize them..."
After all, Shen Luoxue and Shen Luoyun were young ladies from the provincial capital, so they always stood closest to Su Hanchu.
When Su Hanchu was teaching seriously, he didn't notice that Shen Luoxue's eyes fell on Jun Moye many times.
Shen Luoyun followed and learned seriously, silently memorizing every word and every action Su Hanchu said.
After laying out all the corn cobs in one layer, Su Hanchu sprinkled some mushrooms on them little by little and spoke with a smile.
"After laying a layer of corn cobs, we sprinkle the prepared mushrooms on top, like this..."
Shen Luoyun on the side asked the question in his mind.
"Madam Jun, where did this fungus come from?"
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.
"Mushroom spores are made from mushrooms, but they are more difficult to grow than growing mushrooms, and the environment they require is more demanding. So, to make it easier for everyone to grow them, the spores will be provided by the mushroom shop in my Jun family's area, and the price is very fair, so don't worry."
Shen Luoxue deliberately walked closer to Jun Moye.
"Master Jun, will mushrooms really grow from this?"
Jun Moye listened calmly.
"Of course we will. Now the mushrooms we grow are already available in the vegetable shops in various towns. Moreover, there is nothing in this world that my wife can't do, so Miss Shen can rest assured."
Shen Luoxue's expression darkened when he said, "There is nothing in this world that my wife can't do."
"The relationship between Master Jun and Madam Jun is truly enviable."
Jun Moye spoke generously after hearing this.
"My wife is beautiful and intelligent, and we are in perfect harmony. We are naturally deeply in love."
Shen Luoxue pursed her lips after hearing this, and really didn't know what to say.
It was already time for dinner, and the Jun family invited the villagers who came to learn how to grow mushrooms to have dinner. They set up a table in the hall and had dinner with the Shen family's father and daughter.
At the dinner table, Chen Zhoufu and Jun Moye were talking about some official matters. After all, Jun Moye was once the prince of the imperial city, and his insights on official affairs were also unique. The more Chen Zhoufu talked with him, the more he admired him.
Shen Luoyun looked at Su Hanchu again and again and spoke in a low voice.
"Mrs. Jun, do you make money from this mushroom business?"
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"I don't make a lot of money, but it's enough to support my family, and it also helps people earn more, so it's quite enjoyable to do this."
Shen Luoyun tightened the handkerchief in his hand after hearing this.
"Madam Jun, I never thought that a woman from the mansion could also go out and do business, and do it successfully, and even help the people. Luo Yun admires Madam Jun very much. Can Luo Yun come to chat with Madam Jun and drink tea in the future?"
If one wants to have an easier life in the northwest in the future, it is naturally a good thing to be able to make friends with the Shen family. Su Hanchu will naturally not refuse her goodwill.
"Of course, but Miss Shen also saw it today. I am sometimes very busy, and I am afraid of neglecting Miss Shen."
