"Achen, please sit down."
As soon as Achen got up, the elder pressed him down to sit down.
The eight jackals entered and naturally stood behind Achen.
After the core Miao people and village chiefs of the twelve branches entered the house and sat down, their eyes were all on Achen.
They grew to respect this future Miao king, who was only seventeen years old.
“Amo, sit next to Achen. I’m happy and proud to see you two as a couple.”
The elder clansman said kindly, but when he looked at Chief Tang and Chief Mu, he was clearly displeased.
"You two still haven't fully opened your minds!"
"Elder of the clan."
The two chieftains felt somewhat ashamed.
The elder said, "Amo is right. It's respectful that Achen was able to discuss the matter of the orchard with everyone. Otherwise, if someone can arrange things however they want, no one else has the right to interfere."
"Alright, I won't say any more! Just do whatever Ah Chen and Ah Mo say."
"Black Crow Village and Que Dong Village will eat the meat, but leave some soup for the other branches!"
"Besides, Ah Chen has already decided to lead the entire Miao family to prosperity, so let's not cause him any trouble."
"The name of the company, Shengtang, is very good. It has a reed pipe and sugar, both of which are Ah Chen's favorites."
Despite the elder's outburst, not a single Miao villager from Quedong Village stood up to refute him.
Or rather, they had no reason to refute it.
The second elder immediately said to Achen, "Achen, shouldn't the next step be to develop the Balong Ancient Village for the Qingmiao people?"
Forehead---
So straightforward!
Ah Chen had just finished eating. He put down his bowl and said with a smile, "I still need to work out a plan with the Holy Maiden! But I do have something more urgent to do."
"Tell me what it is, and the Qingmiao branch will cooperate unconditionally," said Chief Yang of Balong Ancient Village, who was the first to express his support.
Besides the Zi Miao, other branches also expressed their support unconditionally.
Achen said, "Education! That is, the cultivation of talent among our Miao people."
"What's the meaning?"
Ah Chen said, "What I mean is that Shengtang Company should fund the establishment of a school that only accepts children from our Miao ethnic group, and all school expenses should be covered by Shengtang Company."
"If possible, the first phase should limit the number of participants and train a group of outstanding Miao people to use their skills to manage the Miao people's future industries."
"But this is too difficult; it requires the concerted efforts of all branches."
The air seemed to freeze as soon as he said that.
Even Amo stared at Achen in disbelief. She had heard Achen mention it on the phone before, but she didn't expect that Achen actually wanted to.
"Ah Chen, this is a huge deal!" Ah Mo exclaimed.
“I know that once it is realized, it will be one of the most magnificent projects for our Miao people for the next few decades, or even a hundred years.”
Achen said with great pride, "The current predicament of our Miao people is not only economic poverty, but also backward thinking and lack of knowledge."
"With the development of the times, the cultivation of talent is absolutely indispensable!"
“People may question or disbelieve what I’m saying, but you might as well make a bet with me: after 2000, when you look back at the present, some of you may regret not having learned more before, or not seizing the opportunities that passed you by.”
Ah Chen looked at the Miao people, his tone softening as he continued:
"Since we've come this far, I, Mu Achen, would like to say a few words from the bottom of my heart."
"Actually, I never thought about becoming a Miao king. This burden is too heavy! It's not that I'm afraid to take on the responsibility, but that I simply can't carry it all by myself."
"Fellow Miao people, it's not that I, Mu Achen, am showing off my wealth. You can tell that I have no worries about food or clothing now, and I've also helped Heiwu Village and Quedong Village develop. I also have some businesses of my own. Why would I want to suffer and be busy with this and that?"
"Given the current poverty of my Miao people, out of 370,000 Miao people, at least 70% are starving and hungry."
"Before the Drumming Festival, I thought I had some savings and that I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore."
"But when the title of Miao King was suddenly bestowed upon me in the future, and I saw the current situation of the Miao people of various branches, I felt that I had instantly become a pauper again, needing money everywhere and needing help everywhere."
"But what we need to do now is not just brute force; management requires brainpower."
"What if someone lacks brainpower? Pay someone to hire them?"
"Let's not even talk about where the money comes from! Just consider this: can we Miao people unconditionally trust those Han people who make a living by studying in this glamorous world? Even if I did, many Miao people would still reject them from the bottom of their hearts!"
"Therefore, if the Miao people want to truly change their poverty and find a way to get rich, the education of their children is of paramount importance."
"That's why I proposed that Shengtang Company fund the establishment of a school exclusively for Miao children."
Ah Chen took the water that Ah Mo poured for him, drank it, glanced at the Miao people, and continued:
"If all twelve departments agree with my idea, then hurry up and compile a list of students for me. Make sure to include their age, what grade they will be in the fall semester, their family situation, and their grades."
As soon as Ah Chen finished speaking, each branch immediately began to express their opinions.
"This is wonderful; we couldn't be happier!"
"We, the Bai Miao people, fully support this and have already figured out the matter overnight."
“My branch of the Long Skirt Miao also supports this unconditionally.”
Except for the Zi Miao branch, all other branches agreed.
Ah Chen glanced at Granny Zi Miao, then said to everyone, "Since everyone agrees, let's hurry up and do it! The information must be true, without any falsehoods, otherwise I won't be able to make the final decision."
