Mo Youxian and Mo Chunsheng had no idea they were involved; Mo Yuan was actually flattering them.
Anyone with eyes can see that the new county head doesn't oppose their pig farm; on the contrary, he's very interested in and supportive of it!
Mo Yuan's words were undoubtedly a way of sharing the credit with them, and they were immediately delighted, though they dared not show it too much, given the vast difference in status and position between themselves and the county magistrate. Nevertheless, they were secretly quite pleased with themselves.
The more I look at Mo Yuan, the more pleasing he becomes!
Seeing Mo Yuan's answer, despite its many flaws, Bao Ruijin didn't delve into it further, but gave Mo Yuan a meaningful look.
This young man is no ordinary person. The information he has is not something that ordinary people can access. Clearly, Mo Yuan is not telling the whole truth.
However, now is not the time to dwell on this minor issue.
I need such a role model; if used well, it can have amazing effects!
"Mo Yuan, you're really good at managing the economy. I heard from Comrade Jianguo that you're running a breakfast business and leading the villagers in a pig farm. I believe that the members of your Xiaomo Village will have a bumper harvest this year. When these piglets grow up by the end of the year, our county will pre-order a few as a welfare benefit for the county government staff!"
Mo Youxian and Mo Chunsheng were very excited. The county was going to eat the pigs they raised for the New Year. How prestigious would that be!
The father and son were so excited they almost trembled. Mo Youxian even said boldly, "What's the big deal? We'll just send a few head straight to the county! Why even talk about money?"
Mo Yuan quickly stopped him, "Of course we need money! How can we not need money? Would the county magistrate take advantage of us? But we can't leave without a discount. We'll help you kill the meat and deliver it over!"
Mo Youxian and Mo Chunsheng turned pale with shock at his words and winked at Mo Yuan. "That's the county magistrate! Are you obsessed with money?"
However, Bao Ruijin burst into laughter.
"Yes, of course we have to pay. Wouldn't it be like we're being tricked into doing something wrong if we didn't pay? But you little rascal, since you helped us slaughter the pig, does that mean the pig offal and stuff are yours by default?"
Mo Yuan exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "Oh my, the county magistrate knows this too? It's our custom in the countryside to pay someone for helping to slaughter a pig!"
"Hahaha, you little rascal, alright, it's a deal. But I can't let you take advantage of me for nothing. Come on, let's find a place to talk. You've got a knack for business, tell me your ideas on how to make the commune members live a good life. If you agree, I'll patronize your business. If you don't, I won't take a single pig!"
