They don't earn much in a year, and they have to support many children and elderly people. It's really hard for every household.
Another benefit of building a road is that they did not see it because they usually went to the town just to buy some things or to sell their own wheat.
There is nothing else that would require this road, so it doesn't matter if it's a little difficult to walk on. They don't go there often anyway.
They also don't understand the saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. After all, even if they build the roads, they still have no way to get rich.
In another 20 years, they might understand, because Grandpa Xia’s village is in a good location, close to the mountains where there are many dry goods.
When the people in the country become richer and richer, they will eventually love to eat rare things. If their dry goods can be shipped out at that time, they will definitely be very popular.
This is a good way to make a fortune, but people nowadays don’t know it yet, because having enough to eat is a luxury for them now, so how can they have the money to buy those dry goods?
For the people in the village, they could never imagine that the dry goods that were only available on the mountain could be sold for so much money, so they did not have such a great need for roads.
Although sometimes I feel that this road is difficult to walk on, I also want to endure it and get through it. After all, they have suffered a lot, so how can they complain about such a little hardship?
Think about the 1960s. People were so hungry that they had to eat dirt. Who cared whether the road was easy to walk on or not? We were all people who had suffered, so why would we be so pampered?
Therefore, whether this road is repaired or not does not have much impact on them, which is why so many people are unwilling to pay. After all, apart from making the road into the city easier to travel, it does not bring any benefits to them.
It may not be of any benefit to others, but it is not acceptable to Xia Jin. This road must be built for me.
Once my grandfather has grown the greenhouse vegetables, he has to transport them to my store. The road must not be bumpy, with potholes on the left and right.
Otherwise, the dishes would be ruined before you even get to eat them, and then the result would be more trouble than gain.
And since grandpa and his team had successfully planted the crops, her plan was to get the villagers to plant with them. Anyone who wanted to plant could come along.
By then, not every household in the village will be willing to make money, but there will definitely be many people who are willing to join us in making money. After all, who doesn’t like money?
If you can't earn more, can't you earn less? It won't affect them if you use a piece of land to earn more. The other lands can be used to earn food.
Not to mention anything else, every household now has more places to spend money. Just sending children to school costs a lot of money.
The biggest part of their annual expenses also comes from here. If anyone wants their children to have a better future, they have to keep supporting them until they go to college.
If your child is not good at studying and does not have the ability, then that's fine, but if he or she gets into college, you can't say that your parents don't have the money to support him or her.
Therefore, for the sake of their children, many parents are also looking for their own way out. Although Xia Jin recruited a group of people from the village, they are still a minority after all.
Many villagers were eager to go south after hearing what the Qing Dynasty said about making a lot of money, but they did not dare to go there on their own without a guide.
Let them grow greenhouse vegetables as soon as possible. It should be easier for them to accept this if they go to the south to work.
After all, this job is right at home, they can earn money and don’t have to be separated from their families. Moreover, they don’t have any other skills except farming, but they are definitely good at it.
So if my grandfather and his team succeeded in growing vegetables in a greenhouse, and if they asked the villagers to do it together, many people in the village would probably be willing to do it.
If we plant more vegetables like this, we will have to build roads. After all, if a village works together, how many vegetables can they grow?
By then, they will definitely have to be shipped out continuously. Not to mention their town, even their county cannot consume so many vegetables. After all, vegetables are very expensive in winter.
In the end, I will definitely have to take care of them myself, and most of these vegetables will definitely go into my own store.
Moreover, he must ensure that the vegetables entering his store are of good quality, so for the sake of his own store, he has to build this road as well.
Xia Jin thought for a moment and said to his grandfather:
"Grandpa, if I pay for the road and have the villagers work on it, will everyone agree?"
"I will donate this money to the town, and the town will pay for you to build this road. Then every household will only need to pay for the labor."
"I believe it will cost a lot of money to build this road. Can you afford it? Besides, it's not easy for you. The roads in the village are like this, so let's just leave it as it is."
"You don't go home many times a year, so there's no need to spend so much money to build this road, even though I know you're doing it for the good of the villagers."
"But we have no obligation to do this. Earning money is hard for everyone. If you take out so much money all at once, what are you going to do?"
"Building roads is a good thing. If you weren't my granddaughter, I would definitely agree. But since you are my granddaughter, I have to consider you first."
Xia Jin looked at his grandfather's earnest words and smiled and said:
"Grandpa, I do have money. My shops can earn several thousand a day, not to mention that I have opened a factory now, so I don't lack this little money."
"I'm not doing this just for the villagers. I'm also thinking about myself."
"Because you want to wait until every household in the village follows you to grow greenhouse vegetables, then I have to transport them out. The road here is bumpy and it will cause a lot of damage when transporting them out."
"These vegetables are shipped to my store. I must ensure their freshness and integrity. I can't let some rotten vegetables enter people's tables."
"Isn't this destroying my own reputation? If this continues, my restaurant's reputation will definitely be bad, and fewer people will be willing to come and eat here."
"So this road must be built. I'm doing this for my own benefit. Besides, it will be more convenient for you to enter the town if the road is built."
After hearing what his granddaughter said, Grandpa Xia said with a smile:
"Building this road is indeed a great thing, a good thing that benefits both the people and the country. It's a great merit."
