Lin Jinyue had the idea of making bamboo pens, but she couldn't promote it.
She discovered that it seemed they might not even be able to gather enough people to open a teahouse in Shawan County.
Lin Jinyue would never call those who were still studying over. She attached great importance to literacy education, and would even rewrite the Thousand Character Classic and the Three Character Classic in simplified Chinese characters when she had free time, to teach the villagers who were farmers to read and write.
Simplified Chinese characters are easy to recognize; knowing a few commonly used characters is enough.
Don't be fooled by Lin Jinyue's strong resistance to going to the calligraphy school. It's because she has already studied and researched all the books that Master Tan taught, and she feels that learning traditional Chinese characters is not cost-effective, which is why she is unwilling to go.
Lin Jinyue often teaches the villagers simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals whenever she has free time.
You won't be scammed when renting houses or land in the future or signing contracts.
After learning Arabic numerals, it became much easier for them to keep accounts.
Lin Jinyue planned that the new teahouse kitchen would need at least eight people, including an accountant and a manager.
Ideally, there should be ten people.
However, Yunheji Snack Shop, which includes the stir-fried snail stall and the coconut oil shop, already has more than a dozen people.
There were still people in the village who needed to stay and farm. For example, the Wang family, the carpenter, was too busy building ships to spare any time. The Li family, the blacksmith, also started teaching a few of their nephews who were around ten years old how to forge iron, to make the ironware that Lin Jinyue wanted. There wasn't enough time left for the ironware that the villagers needed, so he also had to secretly make arrowheads.
Those arrows that can pierce through iron armor.
In short, everyone is quite busy.
Lin Jinyue began to worry: how was she going to gather the ten people for Yunheji Teahouse?
Lin Jinyue then turned her attention to Chen Pang and Jiang Shoujia.
Jiang Shou's family had many men, and the land they were allocated had long been cultivated. Jiang Shou's three sons took turns herding sheep, and occasionally learned to read from his grandson.
Their family is the most idle.
Lin Jinyue then assigned the task of making milk tea to Jiang Shou's two sons.
Since milk is inconvenient to transport, they felt reassured and said they would just lead the sheep over to milk it.
Because Chen Pang was fishing, his whole family went fishing. Since he moved to the village, Chen Pang and his family have gained a lot of experience in fishing every day, so Lin Jinyue said that his family didn't need to farm.
Chen Pang's family only has two sons, and his grandsons are all under twelve years old, so they all need to go to school.
Lin Jinyue then asked Chen Pang's eldest son to help brew the wine.
Chen Pang and Jiang Shou were both somewhat incredulous upon hearing Lin Jinyue's words.
"What? You want my boys to go help?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Are you willing? The profit sharing will be about the same as our village, you get 50%, but you need to provide goat milk. I will take 20%, and the village will take 30%."
Jiang Shou thanked him repeatedly.
Neither he nor Chen Pang expected that Lin Jinyue would entrust such an important business to them so soon after they moved in.
They came from Chenjia Village!
Lin Jinyue was definitely not worried. If they calculated the money they would earn in the future, anyone with a brain would not betray them.
So the next day, Lin Jinyue took them to the city to tidy up the teahouse.
The people of Chenjia Village have been keeping a close eye on this area.
Everyone was very curious: would Chen Pang and Jiang Shou be ostracized by that group of people after going to Yunhe Village?
Leaving aside Chen Pang, Jiang Shou had previously been intimidated by Chen Dawei and barely spoke to those people. That night, he hesitated even when he wanted to buy sheep, fearing that Chen Dawei would cause trouble for his family.
Is it possible for them to get along well?
To everyone's surprise, the very next day they saw Lin Jinyue leading them to Shawan County.
The people of Chenjia Village were all talking about it: "Is this because that group of people led them to make money together?"
Chen Dawei curled his lip, "How much money can they make?"
Then someone said, "You can earn a lot. I heard the other day that even if you don't work, you can get two taels of silver each. If you do work, wouldn't you earn even more in a month?"
The people of Chenjia Village no longer fawn over Chen Dawei like they used to.
They all wished Chen Dawei would drive them out of Chenjia Village.
They were really envious.
Many people are wondering again: Why weren't they the ones being driven away?
Chen Dawei stubbornly refused to believe it: "How could that be? There are still many people in their own village who farm."
But then someone sabotaged him.
Someone who was on good terms with Jiang Shoujia immediately came back and said, "I found out! Goodness, that little kid is really generous. Both of Jiang Shoujia's sons went with him."
At that moment, someone came over and asked, "How much silver do you get per month?"
The man shook his head: "Jiang Shou's wife didn't say, but there were quite a few. I saw Jiang Shou and his wife grinning from ear to ear. They had two sons helping out."
Then others asked, "Are there any conditions?"
The man continued to shake his head: "No, they just said that they have to finish cultivating the land allocated to them. Their family raises sheep, and if they expand their operations, they don't have to farm the land."
Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Does Jiang Shou still farm?"
Jiang Shou's friends said, "Of course they have to plant it. Herding sheep won't interfere with anything. Besides, without large grasslands, they can't herd so many sheep."
When the people of Chenjia Village learned that they could make a lot of money simply by farming and doing nothing else, they were shocked.
They were all sour and bubbly.
Chen Dawei sneered: "I don't believe they're that generous."
Someone retorted to him: "What does it matter whether you believe it or not? It's not like the money is going into your pocket."
Chen Dawei was speechless.
That really angered him.
Chen Dawei threatened, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not..."
The man immediately retorted, "Come on, get rid of me!"
