"Why not?"
"I told Xinglintang in advance that I planned to make it into medicine, and they were very supportive!"
"I've already found some helpers who can assist with obtaining and preparing the herbs. Once things are settled in the village, we can start planting herbs and processing them into medicine!"
Ruan Meng wasn't an outspoken person; she just noticed the low morale and thought that making empty promises might not be a bad thing.
Sure enough, when Magistrate Deng heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Has Miss Ruan considered promoting and carrying forward her medical skills?"
Magistrate Deng considered the entire county and solved the problem of difficulty in accessing medical care in Nanxian County. However, there were other villages in Nanxian County that Magistrate Deng was equally concerned about.
"Everything is going according to plan..."
Ruan Meng kept everyone in suspense, but seeing that there was hope, Magistrate Deng's face indeed lit up with a lot of light.
On the way back, Ruan Qian reminded people to regulate their land use in advance for those who were originally registered as empty households but now want to live in Fengjia Village.
The village chief immediately composed himself and asked Ruan Qian for advice:
"What suggestions does the eldest son have?"
Ruan Qian did not hold back and immediately analyzed:
“The village chief should be prepared. Once things are going smoothly in the village, the number of such people may increase. Therefore, land allocation cannot be done temporarily or by making do with whatever is available.”
"From the current perspective, these people have various purposes, but their ultimate goal is survival."
“From the current perspective, they seem to be a problem. But Fengjia Village needs people to develop. Currently, the village has a large number of elderly people and children, and a small number of young and middle-aged people.”
"We all hope that our businesses will thrive. In the future, we will inevitably face a labor shortage and actively attract talent. Therefore, if we have a clear understanding of this, we will not exclude or reject these people."
“But in the early stages, they may not be of one mind with us, and may even cause damage, so it is still necessary to separate them from the original villagers’ residences.”
"Being close to Wanjiacun makes it easy for them to collude and cause sabotage. I suggest arranging it closer to Zhengjiacun and Yuanjiacun, preferably in a place with water sources and mountain resources..."
"That way, when they settle down, they won't feel that we are deliberately making things difficult for them or intentionally preventing them from making a living."
The village chief nodded repeatedly, impressed by Ruan Qian's foresight and strategic vision.
Ruan Qian added, "The village chief suggests keeping this piece of land larger, so that no matter how others enter Fengjia Village in the future, they can consider settling down here."
The village chief nodded, and Ruan Qian reminded him, "Lord Deng has gone to great lengths to ascertain the situation and made recommendations regarding the cancellation and transfer of households. The village chief should clarify the details with him today or tomorrow."
"If you need manpower or vehicles, just let us know. Also, the village chief needs to prepare in advance. After gathering opinions at home today, things might not be kept quiet, and someone might be eyeing Fengjia Village..."
"The village chief can think in advance about how to reasonably refuse."
Even though Ruan Qian had considered everything carefully, he still didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.
The elite circles of the South Island reacted immediately upon hearing the news.
That evening, people came to the village chief's door one after another, sending intermediaries and managers to plead with him to transfer the household registration of his relatives, subordinates, and servants to Fengjia Village.
Seeing the gifts piled up at the door, Village Chief Feng was so angry he almost laughed.
The South Island has always been poor because of limited conditions, resources, and vision. Now, judging from everyone's keen sense of smell, they are not wrong at all!
They are also very proactive!
Therefore, the South Island is poor only because opportunities are held by a few. The poor have no opportunities, let alone the resources and courage to seize them.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi kindly advised the person to take the gift back...
Ruan Qian and his second brother went up the mountain and privately persuaded the village chief to accept the money.
At noon that day, Ruan Qian and Village Chief Feng and his son delivered all the gifts sent by the wealthy merchant to the county government office.
Unexpectedly, the group was stunned as soon as they entered the courtyard!
