The next day.
The sky was azure, and a thin mist swirled around it.
To the east of Quedong Village, which is also to the west of Heiwu Village, on this hillside, groups of Miao people come and go in an endless stream.
Hundreds of strong young men from the two Miao villages were measuring land in the mountains.
The contract was also signed in the mountains.
Quedongzhai holds 20% of the shares, and Heiwuzhai holds 10%.
The two villages selected core Miao people to assist Mu Chen.
In the evening, everyone gathered together.
Light a bonfire and sing and dance around it.
Mu Chen, standing to the side, was not in good spirits, but his gaze remained fixed on the most beautiful dancer, the saintess.
He gazed at Tang Mo's smiling face illuminated by the firelight, listening to her singing mingled with the laughter of the Miao girls.
This scene is heartwarming and beautiful.
"Ah Chen, why are you sitting here all alone?"
Chief Tang and his clan elder came together, followed by the core Miao people from the two villages.
"I haven't recovered from yesterday's drinking yet."
Mu Chen's appearance amused the young men of Que Dong Village.
They were also puzzled as to why Ah Chen seemed unhappy after doing such a big thing.
They thought Ah Chen regretted the promise he made while drunk yesterday, but they never expected it was because of this.
That makes sense, though Miao people's liquor is only around 30 degrees, it has a strong aftereffect.
“Ah Chen, I just discussed it with your Chief Mu. I’ll handle the contact with the town.”
Chief Tang beckoned Tang Mo over and continued, "I will also assist you with the matters on the mountain, along with Chief Mu. However, during this time, my Que Dong Village will have A Mo negotiate with you."
"You said today that you want to dig out a section of the road before the New Year, roughly how wide?"
Mu Chen glanced at Tang Mo, who had changed out of her formal attire, and said thoughtfully, "The path from the mountain to Que Dong Village is only one kilometer long, but the road construction is different; it's at least three kilometers long. The section from Que Dong Village to the county road is about seven or eight kilometers long, and it also needs to be widened to four and a half meters."
"Isn't this too wide? It'll cost a lot of money."
"Don't worry, Chief Tang. I'll take some men to town in the next couple of days and deposit another million into our account."
"Then... that's a two million investment! And my Que Dongzhai will take four hundred thousand?"
Mu Chen smiled and nodded, then asked how many laborers the two villages could provide.
"At most, 700 men and women from our Heiwu Village can come out, and some of them will have to stay at home to prepare for the New Year."
Chief Tang counted on his fingers, "Que Dong Village has three villages, but the land you chose, A-Chen, only belongs to the Red Miao people, so..."
"Grandpa, even though that's how it is, you still get paid for working."
Upon Tang Mo's reminder, her grandfather immediately said, "Then our Que Dong Village can send four thousand people."
"A total of 4,800 people, is that enough?"
"If that's not enough, we'll think of something else!"
Both chieftains were very supportive of Mu Chen.
Mu Chen said, "My plan is to have all the roads dug up before the end of the year, or at least make some rough roads."
"So urgent?"
"I can't wait!" Mu Chen shook his head.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Mo said to Chief Tang, "Grandpa, let's send a few hundred people to Black Crow Village! The road up the mountain is three kilometers long, all on slopes, so it's a huge undertaking."
“No problem! You two are both talented, one is good at making ideas, we’ll do whatever you say.”
The two of us?
Mu Chen probably misunderstood, and his little face even showed a bit of shyness.
Tang Mo had seen a lot in life, and now that everyone was going to work together, she simply discussed it directly with Mu Chen and then made arrangements.
the next day.
As soon as it was light, the thousands of Miao people in Quedong Village set out.
The scene was quite impressive.
Although it was a road widening project, Tang Mo personally directed the Miao people to make modifications to the more winding sections.
As Mu Achen once said, large vehicles cannot pass through sharp bends.
Although the Miao people of Quedong Village did not know how much money they would earn next year, what Achen and the Holy Maiden said made a lot of sense.
Meanwhile, in Heiwu Village, with the participation of a thousand people from Quedong Village, construction has also begun.
Considering that going home for dinner would take up too much time, Mu Chen decided to temporarily set up a logistics team, which was to be arranged by the two villages, with each person receiving five yuan a day.
Immediately, several hundred Miao women gathered together to cook and personally delivered the food to the construction site for everyone.
The weather has been getting colder these past few days.
Mu Chen was constantly on the go, directing things, getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the pigs.
Que Dongzhai and Hei Wuzhai also jointly formed a core team for Mu Chen and Tang Mo to command.
Everything, from accounting to other matters, is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Wages are settled daily.
The two village chiefs were heartbroken as they watched the money being spent like water every day.
But they felt even more sorry for Mu Chen's feet, which were already blistered and raw.
That day, as soon as Mu Chen appeared at the entrance of Que Dong Village, the auntie who was cooking called him to a stop.
"Ah Chen, wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Mother?"
"Amo asked you to wait for her here."
Saintess?
Soon, Tang Mo appeared.
She was riding a horse.
As she galloped on horseback, her long hair flew in the wind, her smile was radiant, and her figure was agile. Her courage and nimble beauty were displayed to the fullest.
Mu Chen was stunned.
Until the clatter of hooves disappeared before his eyes.
"Ah Chen, you can borrow this horse."
Tang Mo handed the horse behind her to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was puzzled.
Tang Mo said, "These past few days I've seen you running around, and many times you haven't been able to get to the scene immediately to handle things."
Is she concerned about me?
Mu Chen suddenly felt a burning sensation in his heart.
