Yan Bingfa also looked at Chunxiao and said, "Just tell the village head what we should pay attention to."
"First of all, we have to gather enough money. You can't afford to be short of money outside. Let me tell you straight out, my eldest and second brothers' farms have 218 mu of land, and it cost almost 2,600 taels of silver to build them, and that's considering the land is cheap. So if you want to build a farm of about 200 mu, you'll need to prepare at least 3,000 taels of silver."
"So many?" Yan Mingze was surprised.
"Don't interrupt, let Chunxiao continue."
"Secondly, the ownership of responsibilities and the distribution of profits must be clear. Uncle Village Head, the worst thing to do in business is to have too many partners, which will lead to a chaotic division of profits."
The village head frowned, "There must be quite a few people participating in this village. If there are too many people, what should we do?"
"Uncle Village Head, I won't get involved with you, but I can give you a suggestion. Although we're all buying the house together, we must elect a person to be in charge. This person will be responsible for purchasing the land, building the village, and arranging all subsequent matters. Naturally, the ownership of the land deed can only be filled in by one person. When the time comes, we can keep an account of all the expenses and gains. Brother Mingli and Brother Mingze can both read, right? They can do it. Then, divide the money for building the village into equal parts. Everyone who contributed money will have a share, and the money will be divided according to this share. Of course, the person in charge will have a separate job. This way, the accounts will be clear and there will be no disputes."
"Girl, what you said is a bit complicated. Can you help the village head to explain it in more detail?"
Chunxiao then explained the detailed operation to a few people again, and this time he was more direct. He said that if this plan was to be carried out, the head of the village would have to take the lead and send someone, and the manor would also be registered under this person's name. The share of profits was the most important thing, and it must be remembered clearly.
Because someone was brought in directly, the people in the headman's family now knew everything completely.
"Okay, I'll organize a meeting tomorrow to see if we can really gather enough money to build the manor. If not, then don't bother. If we can, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Chunxiao, to lead the way. We're blind outside."
"Uncle Lizheng, don't worry. If you have thought it through and agreed to go out and try your luck, I will definitely help you."
"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid anymore now that you've said that. Well, I've kept you guys busy for a long time today. I'll come back to you tomorrow when I have definite news."
Yan Dahe sent away several village heads.
"The villagers are quite smart. They even know how to make money by joining forces."
"If you can think of it, others can think of it too. I think this is feasible."
Yan Bangfa nodded. "I think it's feasible." He looked at Chunxiao. "What do you think about whether this thing can be done?"
"As long as it's well organized, nothing can be done. If it's me, I'll do it boldly."
"Why didn't you tell the head of the village about this? I think they're a little nervous. If you had told them, they might have felt more confident."
"Second brother, there are always two sides to every story. There are always various unexpected risks. If I tell them, it means I'm instigating it. If something bad really happens, I'll have to cover for it. I'd be a fool to promise them that. But if they really organize this, I really have to help."
Zhou poked Da He's forehead, "You're brainless!"
The next day, Chunxiao took a delivery job and went to Juxian Restaurant.
Huang Minghe was a little surprised to see her. "I heard you were out of town, and now you're back."
"I'm back to visit my family. I'll be leaving in a few days. Boss Huang, is your business doing well?"
"Thanks to you, by the way, I opened another branch in January, so your share of the money has increased."
Chun Xiao was delighted. "That's great! I'm short of money right now."
"Since we're here, let's divide the money." Chunxiao followed Huang Minghe to the wing room, and she spent the whole morning looking at the account books and calculating the accounts. The old store's profits were 3,408 taels by the end of April, and the new store had been in operation for exactly three months by the end of April, so it had distributed 639 taels, totaling 4,047 taels.
Huang Minghe asked her whether she wanted small or large denomination notes, and she decisively chose the large one. Coming out of the restaurant, she had four thousand-liang notes in her arms, her purse heavy with silver, and she was so happy.
When they got home, Tian and the others were working in the cotton fields. Chunxiao gathered the other women in the family to help them pick out the cloth. She looked around and asked, "Why don't I see Shufeng?"
"The village head is holding a meeting with the villagers right now, and she went to join in the fun."
Chunxiao carried the table into the yard and asked them to help take the cloth off the carriage.
Wang Zu and Du Juan, two sisters-in-law, also came to help. It was the first time for them to see so much cloth, but in Chun Xiao's house, seeing anything was not surprising at all. There were even two carriages in the yard, and they had never seen horses before.
Everyone first separated the coarse cotton cloth from the fine cotton cloth, and found that there were a total of 182 pieces of cloth, and there were 137 pieces of fine cotton cloth.
"These bosses are so wasteful. Most of these cloths are in good condition, they're just not dyed very evenly. Is this considered scrap cloth? Chunxiao, this is much better than what we bought before. I think it's fine for my own use."
"Mom, please help me pick some out. I'll go to the farm and send some over tomorrow." These cloths are indeed quite good. They are neither damaged nor particularly old. Indeed.
"I think if I sell these cloths, there will be no problem of no one buying them." Zhou felt a little sorry.
"If you like them, you can pick out a few more that look good. There are only 27 people in the village, and half a bolt of cloth is enough for them to make several sets of clothes. I will give them 14 bolts of fine cloth tomorrow. If you can't bear to part with them, mother, pick out the ones you don't like and I'll send them tomorrow."
