Want to make money and do big things
Neither the master nor the disciple mentioned again the matter of Shen Roujiao going to the herbal medicine shop to help.
The day of school is getting closer and closer, and the daily routine of going up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs is coming to an end.
On this day, several people came down the mountain with large and small bags as usual. The village chief squatted halfway and stopped them.
He took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and handed it to Shen Roujiao, who had the most leadership qualities: "Jiaojiao, take a look at this."
"Hedong Village Idle Labor List?" Shen Roujiao's mind popped up a few words just by looking at the title: The rich first drive the poor. She glanced at it and saw that all the old, weak and disabled people in the village were listed. "What is this?"
She handed the form to her second brother who was standing next to her. Although she knew the answer, she still wanted to hear the village chief's opinion.
"The people in our village have nothing to do except during the busy farming season. I want to organize everyone to follow you to dig medicinal herbs. We can earn some money and live a better life." The village chief is a really good one. He wants to do some practical things for the village and sincerely hopes that everyone can live a good life.
The starting point is good, but unfortunately the method is wrong.
"No, village chief, you think things are too simple." Shen Roujiao pulled the village chief to the edge of the field and made him squat down.
Several others followed suit and squatted over.
When the village chief was about to ask why, Shen Roujiao picked up a stone, drew a small circle on the ground, and wrote the number 1 in the middle, "Village chief, listen to me."
No matter what happens, laymen only see the excitement, while experts see the details.
Let’s start with digging for medicinal herbs. It seems simple. Isn’t it just finding them after you recognize them, and digging them out after you find them? Even if you don’t know dozens of them, you can still easily dig out one or two.
It seems to be the case, but there are more than ten types of plants similar to plantain alone. You must have a good eye, otherwise you will work hard for a long time and find only a few plants that are medicinal. That feeling of frustration is not pleasant.
Secondly, it’s a test of physical strength. It’s common to have blurred vision, and you can’t even straighten your back after bending over to turn the soil for too long. Not to mention when you’re digging for medicinal herbs, you have to stand for a while, squat for a while, and come and go. No matter how strong your legs are, you can’t hold up.
"That's right. Village chief, I was wondering why you only dug for half a day. As a result, I was so tired after digging for the whole morning that my legs were shaking!" As he spoke, Shen Rushan pulled the village chief up.
The village chief stood up suddenly, his eyes went dark, and he almost lost his balance. Fortunately, the eldest boy supported him and said, "How is it? This is how it feels."
Seeing the village chief slowly coming over, Shen Roujiao continued, "Based on this one rule alone, the old, weak, sick and disabled on the list can't do anything. Most of them will have to be crossed out. Only those under 30 years old and in good physical condition can be selected. Only ten people are needed."
When the village chief was about to ask why, Shen Roujiao drew another circle and wrote the number 2 inside it.
If you want to be rich, you must have a role model of being rich.
People only believe what they see. No matter how much you talk, it's useless if you don't have everything you want. Only when some people can afford to eat meat and buy bicycles will it be convincing and everyone will follow suit.
Pursuing common prosperity and the idea of everyone being equal has been proven to be wrong. Individual initiative is the most creative.
So, it’s not about organizing, it’s about advocacy.
We should encourage some people who want to get rich to start working first. After ten people become rich, there will be 20, 30, and even the whole village. Only then can we get rid of poverty and become prosperous together.
There are ways and methods to do everything. You can't just do things blindly with enthusiasm. Not only will your efforts be thankless, but it will also frustrate everyone's enthusiasm.
"Yes, yes, yes, little sister, you are absolutely right. My mother is a typical example. Seeing that you are living a good life, she feels relieved and lets me follow you. Yesterday my mother asked me how I was doing." Shen Rushan was emotionally excited. He admired his little sister too much. How could she understand so many principles?
The village chief nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Jiaojiao said made sense, "Then..."
Shen Roujiao drew another circle and wrote the number 3.
If this is really to be done, the village chief must step in.
Go door to door to survey and select those who are willing and willing to work. Why do we have to ask in private? It is to allow everyone to express different ideas. Collective voting seems to be efficient, but it cannot actually screen out seed players.
After all, whether you want to be rich is your own business. There are still people who don't want to work hard or live a good life, such as Zhou Huaiyue.
Uh!
Master Zhou, who was used as a negative example, wanted to stand up and leave, but Shen Roujiao grabbed him and begged for mercy: "Master is a man of high moral character, not lazy. I was just talking nonsense, please let me go."
Zhou Huaiyue did not leave. He turned to the side with a sullen face, his back facing them, but he perked up his ears and listened carefully.
After selecting the seed candidates, the village chief helped my second brother to set up a medicinal material purchasing station and gradually achieved some results.
After that, things will be simple. No need for the village chief to nag anymore, those who want to do something will naturally take action. As long as they take action, life will always get better and better.
"That's right, that's right. Listening to what Jiaojiao said is better than reading ten years of books! It was just an idea originally, but after listening to you saying it, it suddenly became clear. What to do and how to do it are all clear to me. It's great that we have you in our village, and good days are still to come." The village chief was a smart man, and he could hear the hidden meaning in Shen Roujiao's words.
The Shen family was willing to take the lead in doing this because of the medicinal materials purchasing station.
"Don't worry, village chief. The prices at the medicinal materials purchasing station are absolutely consistent with those in the town and county, so it won't be difficult for the village chief. In fact, it's just for convenience. If you don't want to run errands, just leave them at the purchasing station; if you don't mind the trouble, you can sell them yourself, and you can compare prices." Shen Tiancheng is indeed a man with high emotional intelligence. With just one sentence, he dispelled the village chief's concerns.
"Very good. You young people understand the truth and have methods, which are better than us old guys. As for you, the only thing missing is you expressing your position." The village chief poked Zhou Huaiyue on the back. He was the only one who said nothing. As a key figure who knew the most about medicinal materials, how could he remain silent?
"Then the village chief must promise me one thing." Zhou Huaiyue tilted his head with a serious expression.
"What's the matter?" The village chief frowned.
Zhou Huaiyue whispered something in his ear, and the village chief laughed and agreed, "Sure, sure!"
???
The other three looked at each other, confused.
On the way back to the village, Shen Roujiao followed Zhou Huaiyue and asked, "Master, what conditions did you set?"
"Want to know?" Master Zhou kept it a secret.
"Yeah." He nodded like a fool.
"First, let me tell you, does your school teach people how to do business?" Zhou Huaiyue was shocked when he heard her talk. She had a lot of reasons and evidence in every aspect, and her thoughts were so meticulous and her goals were so clear that people had to admire her.
Even when his back was turned to them, Zhou Huaiyue had an illusion that Shen Roujiao didn't look like the teenage girl at all. The person who was speaking seemed more mature, wiser, and more confident.
"Master, you may not believe it. I also have a dictionary in my head, called [Business Skills]. When I have nothing to do, I just think about how to do business well and how to make everyone earn money. It's just like you thinking about medicinal herbs." Shen Roujiao pointed at her head with a focused expression. She didn't know if she could dispel Zhou Huaiyue's doubts, but she really thought about business skills every day.
"Do you really want to make money so much?" Zhou Huaiyue raised his eyebrows and asked bluntly.
Her passion and ability to make money far surpass those of her peers, but why?
Why do you care so much about money?
In the days when material life was not abundant, the gap between the poor and the rich was not that big, and money had not yet shown an insurmountable class gap. Therefore, Zhou Huaiyue could not imagine what the use of having so much money was. No matter how much more, it was only the difference between a hundred steps and a thousand steps.
"I don't just want to make money, I want to do something big. I want to find my own place in the tide of the times." When she said this, her whole body was glowing.
Dazzling, like a star, twinkling and resonating in the same frequency as the heartbeat.
"Master, can I really not like money?" Shen Roujiao, who came from a book, wanted to say something from her heart for the first time.
With doubts from past and present lives, she wanted to know whether liking money was also shameful in this era when money was not so important.
"Why not? There is no difference between liking money and liking calligraphy and painting. There is no difference between noble and humble. There is nothing dishonorable about it. Isn't it that people should do what they like? Don't care about their opinions. Others are not that unimportant."
Zhou Huaiyue felt that he was talking about himself. In the countryside where no one understood calligraphy and painting, he could throw away all his burdens and immerse himself in his own world, not caring or paying attention to anyone. His spirit was completely free.
"Same as Master?" Shen Roujiao had tears in her eyes, the knot in her heart from her previous life was finally untied at this moment.
"Yeah!" Zhou Huaiyue met her gaze and nodded affirmatively.
It turns out that we are the same kind of people, how great!
It’s great to meet you here.
…
Shen family.
Several brothers were sitting in the main room, listening to Shen Tiancheng talk about his encounter with the village chief.
They had never heard Jiaojiao talk about my younger sister's plan to set up a medicinal material purchasing station. This business is not like setting up a stall to sell food. You have to know how to buy and sell. It is a real big business.
It costs a lot of money to buy medicinal materials, and the Shen family does not have that much money at the moment.
"Don't worry. Once the purchasing station is established, we will have the capital. Before that, I'd like to trouble my second brother and eldest brother to make more trips to the county town. All the money from selling medicinal materials in the early stage should be used as capital. The village chief is cautious, and if he doesn't agree, we all have time." Shen Roujiao answered everyone's doubts easily.
Every step is carefully considered.
It seems that this was not something my younger sister did on a whim, but was the result of careful consideration.
"Sister, I really admire you." Shen Tianyou didn't know what to say. Compared with Shen Roujiao, he really didn't have the brains in this area.
Setting up a stall to sell stinky tofu was the limit of his knowledge; he couldn’t think of anything further.
"Little sister, big brother supports you. The stall business has been good recently. After deducting the family expenses, we can still save a lot. If you need anything, feel free to tell your third brother. He is really good at accounting." Compared with the fourth brother, Shen Tianhua's recognition of the little sister is unconditional trust. He can't explain the reason, but he believes that she can do a good job.
"Brother supports you too. Little sister, do it boldly and bravely. We are your supporters and your back." The third brother Shen Tiannan patted her shoulder and expressed the thoughts of the Shen family.
Brothers are so nice!
It’s great to be able to become family with them!
