After looking around, Luo Yunhe didn't say anything. She was also pondering whether all her sacrifices for Leshang Village were worthwhile, and whether they might turn on her in the future. If that happened, all her efforts would have been in vain.
"Girl. No, this old man is trying to force you. It's just that as long as our village develops well and every household can have enough to eat, and we keep the people from Dayang here, our village will expand over time, and then our Yue Shang Village will be included in it as well."
This is the only time I can contribute to our village, as most people in the village don't have this ability.
The Su family has money, but they won't give it away. I'm not asking you to give them any; just make a small contribution to the village, at least enough to ensure everyone has enough to eat and drink and a stable income. You don't need to worry about anything else.
Speaking of the Su family, Luo Yunhe still doesn't know what kind of business they do, but they seem to have plenty of money every year, and he hasn't seen them go out to work, which makes him a little curious.
"Village chief, what exactly does the Su family do? I've never seen any of them go out to find work. Yet every year they seem to have plenty to eat and drink. Do you think money just falls from the sky?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief gently shook his head: "Most people in the village have guessed about what you're talking about, but we don't know exactly what they do."
However, I can tell you one thing: the Su family gathers together every year at the end of the year, but nobody knows what they do there.
"Do you think they might be doing something shady behind the scenes? If so, village chief, you'd better be prepared and not let them drag our whole village down with them!"
Luo Yunhe didn't intentionally target the Su family. After all, she had lived in Yue Shang Village for several years. The Su family had more money than they could spend every year, and their food and drink were quite good. It was inevitable that people would be suspicious.
The village chief fell silent. He understood what Luo Yunhe was talking about, but it was, after all, a matter concerning the Su family. They didn't want to go out to work and had a family where they had no worries about food and drink. How could he, as the village chief, possibly manage so much?
"Okay, I understand! I'll look into this properly!"
Luo Yunhe nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter, instead focusing her gaze on something not far away.
Around each village, there are some abandoned plots of land, either overgrown with weeds or with small trees that are of no use. It wouldn't be a bad idea to plant a large orchard in these areas.
So, Luo Yunhe casually pointed to that open area.
There were large clumps of reeds and saplings piled up densely together, making it a very desolate place.
"Village chief, let's go there! Plant some fruit trees all over that area, and let Brother Qiu manage it. Later, I will instruct Brother Qiu to select some smart and capable people in the village to help manage it. However, these people will have to follow Brother Qiu's orders."
The village chief still agreed, and was even very happy about it.
"Village chief, let me give you another suggestion. After all, most of the people in our village are doing quite well economically. If we want to make the village safer and more densely populated, then we need to build a courtyard wall."
Look. The houses in our village are arranged quite neatly. If we build a large courtyard wall to cover the entire village, it will be much safer.
"Didn't you want Yue Shang Village to be combined with the rest of the villages when the distribution areas are allocated? Then let's improve the surrounding environment first, especially this courtyard wall, which can enhance the aesthetics. The fruit trees planted there will also be neatly arranged and enclosed!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Having secured Luo Yunhe's favor, the village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Luo Yunhe had agreed, which meant another benefit for the village. As for building a large wall around the entire village...
He didn't intend to let Luo Yunhe pay. After all, he couldn't let someone pay every time; over time, the villagers would develop a dependency, and he didn't want everyone's behavior to become so embarrassing.
Luo Yunhe agreed and immediately began to take action. However, this time the fruits he planted were different. He planted a large number of peach trees and even replaced many orange trees.
These saplings were all redeemed through the system, and their quality is absolutely top-notch, but they still require careful cultivation. It was only after Luo Yunhe had researched for a very long time that he managed to redeem a large number of saplings, and then he gathered Brother Qiu and most of the other people to begin planting them.
Under Luo Yunhe's direction, the saplings were planted neatly in rows, with peaches and oranges planted in separate areas.
The peach and orange trees were each divided into 100 trees.
After planting, Luo Yunhe specially had a water pit built to slowly divert water to this area, making it more convenient to water the plants later.
Finally, a fence was built around all the fruit trees in the same way. A layer of wire mesh was used to completely enclose the fence, making it difficult for outsiders to get in.
Following Luo Yunhe's instructions, Qiu Ge found some young and strong men in the village to help manage the fruit trees.
Because Luo Yunhe had concerns, Qiu Ge thought it over and over again when he did this. He selected 10 families and found 10 people to help manage the orchards, but none of them were chosen. The main reason was that he promised to give them priority when picking the fruit.
Although they couldn't work in the orchard for long periods, everyone was still very happy to receive the response.
Qiu Ge is very capable. He had the personnel list memorized in advance.
After all, some people in the village work in the workshops, some manage the orchards, and the rest just wait for the fruit to ripen before picking it to earn wages. It's already quite good!
However, the villagers were somewhat unwilling to add a wall to the village.
After all, it's about getting them to spend money, and nobody wants to open their wallet for something like this.
However, after a major incident was discovered in the village, the villagers spontaneously pooled their money and strongly demanded the removal of the courtyard walls.
It was an afternoon when the adults were resting inside, while the children were playing outside.
However, a group of strangers knew that life was good in Moonlit Village, and their purpose was to steal something from the village. But since everyone in the village was occupied and there was nothing to steal, they set their sights on the children.
