At night, all the Miao people were still busy until very late before they could sleep on the ground.
In the past two days, Mu Achen has been moving between the three branches, constantly explaining various matters and things that require extra caution.
Amo was even busier because her return to Beijing was drawing ever closer.
She is now racing against time every day to explain everything that needs to be paid attention to in Achen's plan to the chiefs and core Miao people of the three branches of Bai Miao, Changqun Miao, and Duanqun Miao.
On August 24th.
Before dawn, Achen set off with twenty-six strong men, led by Abao from Quedong Village and Akang from Qingmiao.
Led by Ayin, six female guards from each of the thirteen groups cleared away all poisonous creatures along the way for Achen.
A group of forty people galloped on horseback.
Each horse had two small bags hanging from it.
After a three-hour drive, Ah Chen and his group finally arrived at Balang Ancient Village, a branch of the Qingmiao people, at nine o'clock in the morning.
The chief of Balanggu Village, who had been notified yesterday, led the strong Miao people and girls from eleven nearby villages to wait at the village entrance early in the morning.
As soon as Achen arrived, the village chief immediately invited them into the village.
At the Lusheng field, Abao and Akang took off all the sacks and piled them up one by one.
Ah Chen asked, "Chief, have you received all the messages the Holy Maiden sent to your side last night?"
“Received, received! Ah Chen, all the able-bodied Miao men from the dozen or so Miao villages centered around our Balang Ancient Village are here. Just give the orders.”
More than a thousand strong Miao men from eleven nearby villages have gathered at the Lusheng Field, awaiting the orders of the future Miao King, Achen.
Ah Chen glanced at everyone; it was a sea of black.
He then said, "It's really not appropriate to leave this task to the strong uncles and brothers in the village, since we're also building a road here and can't use their labor."
"Then... Ah Chen, what do you suggest we do?"
"Make it for the aunties and girls!"
Ah Chen had Ah Bao and Ah Kang open the sacks and said to the village chief and Ah Quan, "This is a very precious grass seed. I brought eight hundred catties of it! I'll give it to the eleven villages in Balang Ancient Village to plant."
Grass seeds?
That kind of thing just grows into grass!
No one understood why Ah Chen wanted to plant grass, since they didn't have much else around here, but they had plenty of grass!
Ah Chen said, "Chief, Brother Ah Quan, you must not underestimate these grass seeds. In this world, only I have them!"
"When planting, don't take up the village's fields. Just clear away the weeds on the slope I walked on that day, and then sow the grass seeds I gave you."
"Remember to water it properly every few days! After the grass seedlings grow, each household should pay attention to their poultry and not let them ruin them."
"It takes at least two to three months after the grass seeds sprout before they can be harvested!"
"I will come and check the situation myself. For every pound of grass, I will have Shengtang Company give you one dollar."
"The grass seeds I brought this time are enough for your eleven villages to cultivate three or four hundred acres of land. As long as you follow my method, you will have no problem producing three or four million catties of grass seedlings."
Ah Chen's words made the Miao people of the Qingmiao branch widen their eyes in surprise.
Anyone with a basic understanding of accounting can immediately calculate that this represents a profit of three to four million.
A-Quan asked in a trembling voice, "A-Chen, do you mean that we should plant the grass seeds you brought in the eleven villages here, and then you'll buy them from us for one yuan per kilogram?"
"right!"
Achen nodded, and the Miao people in the crowd looked on incredulously.
Even the aunties and young women who had already squeezed in were dumbfounded.
Grandma held Ah Chen's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Miao'er, what kind of grass seeds are these? How come the grass you grow is more expensive than rice? Rice only costs thirty or forty yuan per hundred jin, but these live grasses cost a hundred yuan per hundred jin."
“Yes, Ah Chen, since it’s so valuable and precious, it’s definitely not the weeds we see on the mountain. If it’s so good, why don’t we use our good fields to grow it?”
It's an auntie's voice.
All the Miao people's eyes were focused on Achen.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "The grass grown from these seeds is called Fruit Heart Grass. It's not only beautiful, but also very fragrant! The fruits from the orchards of Que Dong Village and Hei Wu Village, as well as the future Starry Sky Orchard, all need to be wrapped tightly in this Fruit Heart Grass before they can be transported away."
"I'll teach you how to plant it later! But we can't reveal the seeds to outsiders. We need to protect them now. After the fruit-heart grass grows, we must make sure it's not damaged by other wild animals or our own poultry."
"As for the fields here, I can't bear to use them to grow grass."
Holding the old woman's hand amidst the whispers of the Miao people, Achen said, "Grandma, I told you I would come again! Your Miao son didn't lie to you, did he?"
"Miao'er!"
Grandma hugged Ah Chen and cried!
The aunties' eyes gradually reddened, and the girls' eyes glistened with tears.
As for the Miao men, their Adam's apples were also somewhat dry.
"Achen, what about the fields?" the chieftain asked.
Ah Chen turned around and said, "You should do what you need to do with the fields. I can only give you seeds after the New Year."
"Seeds? We have seeds too!"
"Chief, these days, whether it's seeds from our Miao people or those from high-yield areas, the yield is not high and the quality is not very good! But what I'm giving you is a newly developed variety."
Although the chieftain and the others did not understand what Ah Chen meant, they did not say anything. They simply did whatever Ah Chen arranged.
This is the unconditional trust of the future Miao King.
It is important to know that farmland is extremely important to the Miao people.
Because they rely entirely on the food grown in the fields to survive.
Now they are entrusting the operation of the fields to Achen, and this trust is all thanks to Achen.
Otherwise, if anyone tries to touch their Miao land, they will surely retaliate with Miao swords and firearms.
Because he was too busy, Ah Chen stopped the aunties from preparing a messy meal and told everyone to just eat whatever they wanted.
Then, go directly to the slope near Balang Ancient Village and point out all the locations where grass should be planted.
dusk.
The sun was slowly setting in the west.
After Ah Chen finished explaining everything, the group rode off on horseback towards the Starry Sky Fruit Forest.
"Why does Miao'er have to leave? He doesn't even stay to rest. Look how tired he is."
At the entrance of Balong Ancient Village, thousands of Miao people watched as Achen and his companions gradually disappeared.
The old woman didn't look away from her tear-filled eyes for a long time.
The chieftain immediately instructed, "Aquan, have you all heard what Achen told you? Grass Seed, this is the most important matter for all eleven Miao villages here. We must do as Achen instructed."
"No matter who it is, if they dare to act recklessly, I will not let them off easily!"
"Also! The section of road that we eleven villages are responsible for must be repaired as soon as possible, and it must be done thoroughly."
"Ah Chen's car is very heavy!"
“Now that the road is open, he can drive his car here.”
By the end, the chieftain's throat tightened.
