Mo Yuan handed his meticulously drawn designs to his third grandfather and gave him detailed instructions: "You need to personally lead the people to carefully carve these designs on the wardrobe doors, coffee tables, and the edges of the eight immortal tables according to the patterns on them."
After receiving the drawing, Third Grandfather carefully studied every detail, nodding occasionally to show his understanding. When he saw the additions Mo Yuan had made to the drawing with a pencil, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This child is truly meticulous!"
Looking at his third grandfather's earnest expression, Mo Yuan felt a surge of gratitude. He knew that his third grandfather, as a seasoned carpenter with decades of experience, would naturally be adept at this kind of work. He was confident that as long as his third grandfather followed his instructions, he would be able to create exquisite furniture.
After saying goodbye to his third grandfather, Mo Yuan embarked on his journey home with a heavy heart.
Throughout the journey, Mo Yuan kept thinking about how to help the village escape poverty and achieve prosperity. He knew that to change the status quo, he had to find a path suitable for the village's development. He recalled and calculated the village's advantageous resources, as well as the development trajectories of some villages that he had previously thought of.
He realized that only through innovation and hard work, combined with the specific circumstances of Xiaomozhuang, could the village achieve prosperity.
Back home, Mo Yuan sat at his desk and began to organize his thoughts. He decided to start with improving the village's infrastructure to better serve the villagers' living conditions.
At the same time, he also needs to find suitable projects to attract external investment and promote the village's economic development. In the days to come, Mo Yuan will devote himself to working hard for the future of his family and the village.
However, these are all things for later. The most important thing now is to improve the village's infrastructure. Mo Yuan still clearly remembers that twice when trucks came to the village, they could only stop at the entrance and could not go any further. In addition to the narrow roads in the village, the streets were all dirt roads and there were no sewers. Usually, any dirty water in the village would be poured directly onto the streets, making them wet and muddy all day long. If it rained, it would be even more difficult to walk.
Mo Yuan knew that in order to drive the development of the village, he had to get the villagers together to solve the road problem first.
As the saying goes, "To get rich, build roads first." He knew that if Xiaomozhuang wanted to develop its economy, it would need a lot of traffic, and if the roads remained like this, development would be impossible. Therefore, improving the road conditions became an urgent task.
In addition, there was another urgent issue that needed to be addressed: the village currently lacked electricity. Without electricity, future development would be severely hampered. Therefore, Mo Yuan decided to organize the villagers as soon as possible to get electricity connected, bringing light and hope to the village. Only after resolving these fundamental problems could the next steps in development plans be considered.
Mo Yuan recalled Bao Ruijin's promise and Li Jianguo's confident assurance, and a surge of impulse welled up within him. He decided to personally go to the county to lay the utility poles into the village.
Although the villagers may not be used to using electric lights, the wiring must be laid out first, otherwise the equipment that Mo Yuan brought over will just sit idle in the factory shed as decorations.
Mo Yuan insisted on introducing that huge crusher because he saw the resource potential in the mountains behind the village. The mountains behind the village were full of rocks that could be freely mined, and without electricity, all plans would fall through.
However, before heading to the county, Mo Yuan knew he had to find Mo Youxian first, as this matter would be difficult to accomplish without his support. Although Mo Yuan's reputation in the village had greatly increased, he still needed Mo Youxian's coordination in mobilizing manpower.
As expected, when Mo Youxian learned that Mo Yuan planned to repair roads and bring electricity, although he was happy, he still expressed a hint of worry: "Mo Yuan, this is a huge project. Our village has been without electricity for so many years, and now it's suddenly going to be connected. It's not easy! It's not that everyone is unwilling to work, but you have to understand, these days, nobody has any money. They don't even dare to light kerosene lamps. They quickly turn them off and go to bed at night. Asking them to connect the power lines and pay the electricity bill is not very realistic!"
Looking into Mo Youxian's eyes, Mo Yuan said firmly, "Uncle, I know this won't be easy, but our village can't develop without electricity. Even if the villagers don't want to use it now, we still have to put up the power poles and get the electricity in. Then, whoever wants to use it can connect to the meter, and those who don't can do it later! With electricity, we can make good use of our machines, and paving roads will be much easier. We can easily handle things like gravel and cement. Third Uncle, although there are some difficulties, as long as everyone works together, we can definitely do it!"
Mo Youxian pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, since you're so determined, let's give it a try. But you need to explain it clearly to everyone first, so they know the benefits and importance of electricity."
Mo Yuan nodded in agreement. Over the next few days, Mo Yuan and Mo Youxian visited every household in the village, explaining the road construction and electricity connection plan in detail and emphasizing its importance to the village's development. Some villagers initially had reservations, but after Mo Yuan and Mo Youxian's patient explanations, they all eventually expressed their willingness to participate in the work.
After all, as Mo Yuan said, they would suffer no loss by simply installing the power lines first. At worst, they could just not bring them into their homes. On the contrary, if everyone else got electricity in the future and they had more money, getting electricity would just be a matter of adding a meter!
Anyway, there's no loss. Even if it's road repair, there's no need to pay money, so everyone is less opposed to it. It's just about sending people to do the work, which isn't a big deal for anyone. People who work all day have plenty of strength!
Most importantly, Mo Yuan also promised that, based on everyone's performance, those who worked hard would be given priority for hiring and would be able to enjoy the same benefits as him, earning wages for their work. This immediately dispelled all of everyone's doubts!
Mo Youshan never expected Mo Yuan to be so experienced in handling affairs. He persuaded the whole village quickly by appealing to their emotions and explaining the benefits!
Meanwhile, Mo Yuan also began preparing for his trip to the county. He compiled some information, learned about local policies and regulations, and drafted a detailed application to better facilitate the work.
Finally, with everything ready, Mo Yuan embarked on his journey to the county.
