Chapter 284 Unified Planning
Just when Jiang Goudan and others were extremely depressed and desperate, Chen Xiao came over and called them to discuss something together.
"Xiao Jiang, I called you here to ask what your plans are for the future." As the head of the Shen family, Wu was the one who coordinated and planned this house-building project.
The arrival of Jiang Goudan and others gave Wu a new idea, so she gathered everyone together to discuss it.
"We..." Jiang Goudan said awkwardly, clutching the corner of his clothes and looking back at the people behind him. Then he said firmly, "If Madam doesn't mind, we would of course like to work with you, to open up wasteland and cultivate the land together. We can still look after each other like we did on the way here!"
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "You can call me Aunt Wu." She paused and turned her head to ask Mrs. Chen and the others, "What do you think? Should we take Xiao Jiang and the others with us?"
Old Mrs. Chen was a shrewd person. When she saw Wu calling Jiang Goudan and the others over, she knew what she meant and immediately expressed her opinion, "I definitely agree. Xiao Jiang and the others are honest people. We already know each other well. I have no objection to working together."
Old Mrs. Liu was so disappointed that she was one step behind!
"I agree. Xiao Jiang and his friends work much more efficiently than we do. Besides, we're not good at farming, but they're veterans. We'll be able to rely on them in many ways in the future!"
Old Lady Wang had been following the Shen family's lead recently, but she had always been cautious and hadn't been the first to express her opinion. Seeing that the Chen and Liu families, who were close to the Shen family, had agreed, she quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I also think we should work together. After we build the house, the men here will have to go back to the mines."
With a few old ladies taking the lead, more and more people expressed their opinions, almost all of whom were supportive.
There were one or two who hesitated because Jiang Goudan and his men had no food.
"Although I don't object, we don't have much food and no money. How are we going to survive until the crops start to grow?"
This was indeed a big issue, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
Wu looked at Shen Xiao, who took two steps forward, walked in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, we will find a way to solve the food problem, but we still need everyone's support on this matter."
Before calling everyone together for discussion, the Shen family had already held a small meeting. Based on the current situation, Shen Qingqian proposed the idea of trying unified planning and management.
Unexpectedly, this idea received strong support from the Shen family and the Cheng brothers, and everyone agreed.
Although the Shen family would suffer a great loss by doing so, in Wu's words, "It doesn't matter if we suffer a little loss now. After all, farming is not our forte. With them around, the output of the land can be greatly increased."
Moreover, they were not giving the things to Jiang Goudan and the others, but borrowing them. Borrowing things has to be returned, so if you calculate carefully, they are not at a disadvantage.
But Shen Qingqian thought of another level.
Their status as fugitives greatly restricted their range of activities, especially when it came to making money, which was a particularly serious flaw.
If she could continue to cooperate with Jiang Goudan and others, then when she had a way to make money in the future, she could let Jiang Goudan and others do it openly, and others would not be able to find fault with her.
After Shen Xiao explained the situation, everyone started discussing it again.
"I don't have any objection. After all, none of us have as much wealth as the Shen and Cheng families."
"Yeah, they all took the initiative to ask everyone to share the good and bad times together. I was stupid to object."
"In my opinion, we can't keep doing this forever. There has to be a time limit."
