"Okay, I agree to a 20/80 split, that's settled."
Xue Laohu then echoed Han Shunde's words and expressed his opinion.
Everyone else said it was the right thing to do.
Li Lanzhen never expected that they would be discussing this issue today.
Han Mingxiang told her about this on her social media yesterday.
The original plan was to split the profits from Peach Blossom Spring 30/70.
Today, however, Han Shunde and his group are saying that all profits should be split 20/80.
It seems this group of people can still get along.
The Crown Prince and Su Beisheng, sitting in the back, were also pondering this question.
The Crown Prince thought to himself that Li Lanzhen would never accept a 20/80 profit split.
He was secretly thrilled and wanted to know what Li Lanzhen had decided.
So he stared intently at Li Lanzhen.
Out of the corner of his eye, the Crown Prince saw Su Peisheng sitting next to him holding a calligraphy brush, his eyes wide as he stared at Li Lanzhen.
He frowned. At such a crucial moment, why aren't you taking notes? What are you still looking at?
He quickly extended two fingers of his right hand and gently tapped the notebook in front of him.
Su Beisheng quickly lowered his head and wrote down everything they had just said.
“I do not agree to a 20/80 split of all profits,” Li Lanzhen said.
Everyone else was staring at Li Lanzhen, wondering what she meant.
Thinking to myself: That makes sense. Such a large canyon yields a good harvest of various grains except in winter, and greenhouse vegetables earn even more in winter!
So, with the profits split 20/80, they taking 20% is indeed too much!
If Li Lanzhen hadn't brought them here, they wouldn't know what kind of situation they would be in.
They were just too greedy!
Zhang Deshui and Xue Laohu lowered their heads in remorse.
When they left their hometown to flee famine, if Li Lanzhen hadn't taken her in-laws with her...
They didn't know what their situation was like; perhaps, like many other disaster victims, they were separated from their wives and children or their entire families had been wiped out.
Perhaps they survived the famine, but they didn't know which village they would be assigned to, where they would live a life of dependence on others.
Li Lanzhen looked at them, their heads bowed, their faces showing shame and unease, all silent.
I realized they had misunderstood me.
I told them directly, "All the profits from Peach Blossom Spring will be split 20/80 between you and me. You get too little, and I get too much!"
I think a 30/70 split is just right!
Upon hearing Li Lanzhen's words, everyone suddenly looked up, expressing surprise but also relief!
This is Li Lanzhen in their hearts!
She always considers everyone's needs very well.
We always want to give more to everyone and help everyone live a better life!
"How can this be? A 30/70 split would give us too much of a percentage, it's so unfair to you! I don't agree!" Zhang Deshui glared at Li Lanzhen.
"That's right, Lanzhen, you can't always think so much about us. Even if it's a 20/80 split, we still get a huge advantage!" Han Dazhong quickly chimed in.
Everyone else nodded in agreement, saying that a 30/70 split was too much, and a 20/80 split would be better.
"Alright, stop arguing. I said we'll split it 30/70, and that means it'll be 30/70!"
Li Lanzhen interrupted the argument.
Then, looking at Han Shunde, he said, "Village chief, you should do a quick count and calculation to see how much grain and silver one work point can get. That way, you'll have a clear idea of what's going on."
As Li Lanzhen spoke, the Crown Prince nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with admiration and pride.
Seeing that everyone was still looking gloomy, Li Lanzhen smiled and said.
"Tomorrow morning, everyone please set aside a little time so I can take you on a tour of the vermicelli factory."
"Oh, really? That's great!"
"I'm going to take a good look tomorrow and see how those big sweet potatoes are turned into noodle-like vermicelli."
"Yes, yes, I'm very curious too."
...
Li Lanzhen watched as these men and women chattered away, gossiping as if they were women.
She shook her head, turned around, and smiled at the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, you two should go together tomorrow. Oh, and invite Vice Minister Du and the other two to come along as well."
"Okay, Aunt Lanzhen, thank you."
The prince readily agreed, his eyes sparkling.
