"What do you want to do to get a taste of the world and the smell of money? Aren't you afraid that your colleagues will laugh at you, a popular top scholar, for not having the slightest taste of an official?"
Qiao Xin teased him with a smile!
Qiao Yunqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mom, please don't embarrass me. It was my son's fault. Can't I change now?"
"Okay, you are now the second boss who came with me to see the world. When the villagers come, you will come forward to talk to them!"
Qiao Yunqing: “….”
There's a helper who comes right to your doorstep, so why not use him? Qiao Xin was calculating very quickly. With her son around, she could finally be a hands-off boss!
"My son is completely clueless about the current situation and needs Amway's guidance!"
Qiao Xin, who was just happy that she could be a hands-off boss: It seems that this plan didn’t work!
You are the local official, and yet you ask me what the area under your jurisdiction can produce? Haven't you done any basic research?
Poor Qiao Xin could only teach Qiao Yunqing what she knew again.
"Yuncheng is an undeveloped treasure land. Don't always focus your eyes on the wasteland near the city, look around here more!
There are at least seven or eight towns on the road we are walking back, and there are twenty or thirty such villages scattered around. They all rely on the mountains for their livelihood. The medicinal herbs in these three miles are abundant but cannot be sold at a high price. In the final analysis, it is the result of collusion between unscrupulous businessmen and local nobles and officials. If we open a grocery store like this in every town and give the herbal farmers a reasonable price, will their lives be much better?
Take this piece in your own hands, and guide the people to grow medicinal herbs near the mountains in the future. Nearly half of the medicinal materials in the world come from here. No matter which army's generals see you, they will have to be polite!
Although doing so is bound to offend many people, it is worth it for the long-term benefit of the government and the people, isn't it?
Another thing is that there are a lot of porcelain clay produced in the mountains of Fuliang County. As long as we improve the technology, we will definitely be able to produce porcelain comparable to Xingbai Yueqing in the future. Let's not squeeze into the best first, just produce common daily necessities. Look at the pottery bowls in our hands, and you can see how big the potential of this market is. "
Qiao Xin raised the porcelain bowl in her hand and turned the notched side towards Qiao Yunqing. It was said that this was the most beautiful porcelain bowl that the village chief's family could produce.
The number of common people in this world is much larger than that of the gentry. When the people under Qiao Yunqing's rule can solve the problem of food, no one will refuse to ask for a few cents to buy one or two white porcelain bowls to put at home to entertain guests.
Right now, the Xing Kiln is concentrating on the research of white porcelain, and the Yue Kiln is concentrating on the research of celadon. The kilns in the two places are concentrating on competing with each other, with their eyes fixed on the pockets of the royal relatives and the wealthy people above, and naturally they look down on the common people below.
They look down on it, but Qiao Xin does. The market they disdain to develop, Qiao Xin is willing to develop it. Moreover, both of them belong to different circles, so there will be no conflict of interests for at least three to five years. By the time others react, Qiao Xin will have already taken over the middle and lower-level market.
Third, if the land in Yuncheng is well managed, and the weather is good, it will become a major granary for Dajing! If these three places are revitalized, the tax revenue of Yuncheng may not be enough to cover the empty houses!"
Everyone present pricked up their ears, and after listening to Qiao Xin's words, they silently added in their hearts: Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the old lady to be their superior than you, sir?
This level of planning was clearly well thought out.
As a senior official, Qiao Yunqing always felt that he had done his job conscientiously and dutifully. However, judging from the opinions raised by Qiao Xin, he had to admit that his vision was still too narrow.
Everyone secretly glanced at Qiao Yunqing, hoping that the adults would really listen to the old lady's advice and give it serious consideration, so that everyone would have more hope in life!
They are not afraid of hardship. If they can endure more hardship, their treatment will be better and the people's lives will be better. I'm afraid everyone will rush to endure such hardship.
Qiao Yunqing noticed something and looked around.
"Have you found out and sorted out the information about the local county magistrate?"
"Almost...almost." Between making excuses and admitting it honestly, they chose the latter.
"Show it up and let us see it!" said Qiao Yunqing.
Qiao Xin felt relieved when she saw that the people below became as quiet as chickens when Qiao Yunqing's aura came on.
Fortunately, I am her old mother, not her subordinate, otherwise life would be really unbearable!
She suddenly felt that she was too free to do whatever she wanted in front of her son. If one day, the second son got angry with her, wouldn't she not have the bearing of an elder at all...
For lunch, we had white flour buns. I don’t know where the village head’s wife got the trick from, but the villagers who didn’t often eat pasta had actually mastered the skill of steaming the buns.
The dough was neatly arranged, like a parade team, and all were the same size, no more, no less. It was quite difficult for them to make eight from one pound.
The village chief's wife brought in a big pot of mushroom chicken soup with a smile.
More mushrooms and less chicken.
This is the most delicious dish in the house. Who would dislike it?
The village chief greeted, "There's nothing much in the village, so let's add a dish for everyone. This chicken is raised by us. It hasn't laid eggs for several years. It's better to eat it now to save food.
Big sister, thank you for your hard work. You are the savior of our village. I am afraid I will trouble you a lot in the future. Thank you in advance!"
Qiao Xin didn't bother to be polite with her. After a few words, he pushed the person to Qiao Yunqing. It wasn't that he was impatient to deal with others. There were so many people present. He and the village chief were different in gender, so it would be inappropriate to say too much.
If you have anything to say, it’s better to talk to the village chief’s wife!
Qiao Xin filled a bowl of mushroom chicken soup, picked up three or four steamed buns, stood up and walked towards the kitchen behind her.
The village chief's grandson, granddaughter and wife were hiding here chewing the hard-to-swallow reed roots.
Seeing Qiao Xin coming in, he quickly hid the grass roots in his hand behind his back.
Qiao Xin pretended not to see it, and smiled as she handed the chicken soup to the village head's wife: "Sister-in-law, you should try it too, it's delicious!"
"No...no, we've already eaten in the kitchen!"
"There are extra ones on the table. If we don't use the porcelain bowls now, they might go bad in the afternoon. It would be a pity. Here, take them!" Qiao Xin cut the steamed bun in her hand into two pieces and handed them to the children. There were four steamed buns, half for each person, which was just enough for eight children.
The village chief's wife held the bowl and swallowed her saliva, but was reluctant to drink it. She thought to herself, why not keep it until night, add some water and salt, and make a pot of chicken soup, then she could kill one less chicken.
Qiao Xin saw what she was thinking and said casually, "My people will be able to bring food over this afternoon, so you don't have to worry about food. It won't be a problem to exchange the herbs in your house for 700 kilograms of food."
