Ruan Fang, who was busy in the academy, quickly came out to greet Zhao Xian and the village head when they arrived.
"What brings you here, Lord Shaofu and Uncle Lizheng? Please come in and have a seat."
After the two entered the house and sat down, Ruan Fang began to brew tea.
After the village head explained his purpose, Ruan Fang smiled and said:
"I have considered the second phase of the village market project. The second phase is much more complicated than the first phase."
"If we want the second phase of the project to be as successful as the first phase, we still have a lot of work to do."
It seems that Ruan Fang had been considering the construction of the second phase of the farmers' market project for some time.
She considered all aspects very comprehensively, not only building the second phase of the project, but also its later operation to generate benefits.
Seeing that Zhao Xian and the village head were listening attentively to her analysis, Ruan Fang continued:
"The first phase of the farmers' market project was a great success and has generated huge profits, making Shuixian Village famous as a result."
The second phase of the farmers' market project can capitalize on this momentum and be built with great fanfare, but this will also present some problems.
The first issue is site selection. The second phase of the project cannot be too far from the first phase; it is best to build it in a village.
However, the village is only so big, and if a second phase of construction is to be carried out in the village, it will involve land acquisition issues.
On the requisitioned land, some villagers lived, and Uncle Zheng was going to discuss the land requisition matters with them.
If the village asks them to relocate, then the first thing they need to do is choose a place for them to settle down and compensate them for their moving expenses.
Only with the villagers' cooperation can the second phase of the farmers' market construction project be successfully launched.
Before the start of the second phase of construction, a large amount of construction funds need to be prepared. Judging from the current situation, solving the funding problem is not difficult.
Those who invested in the first phase of the market made a fortune, and once people learned that the second phase of the project was under construction, they wouldn't miss this opportunity to get rich.
Of course, the construction of the second phase of the project also requires publicity efforts, as the villagers' funds are limited and they still need to rely on external funding.
Whether the second phase of the project will continue to be as popular as the first phase remains to be seen.
To ensure the continued success of the second phase of the project, we have several important tasks to complete, namely, ensuring that the village's supporting infrastructure and related industries keep pace.
This involves the village building roads and developing industries to provide convenience for investors and encourage more people to do business and develop the real economy in Shuixian Village.
Only in this way can the second phase of the project continue the success of the first phase, allowing people who come to the village to do business and start industries to make money.
Once the second phase of the project is successfully operational, it will greatly boost the economic development of Shuixian Village, which will be reflected in many aspects.
Before long, the overall strength of Shuixian Village may surpass that of a town, and Shuixian Village may even be upgraded to Shuixian Town.
At that time, the construction of the third and fourth phases of the farmers' market may take place.
Of course, there is another possibility that the operation of the second phase of the project may encounter another situation, which is what we are most worried about.
If our supporting facilities and industries don't keep up, Shuixian Village won't have such a large market, which could lead to the second phase of the project being abandoned.
If this happens, those who invested in the second phase of the project will lose everything, which will be a huge blow to Narcissus Village.
"Lord Shaofu and Uncle Lizheng must carefully consider whether the conditions for constructing the second phase of the project are met."
Ruan Fang's words greatly surprised Zhao Xian.
No matter how he looked at her, Ruan Fang didn't seem like an ancient person at all. He felt that Ruan Fang, like himself, was also a time traveler.
The things Ruan Fang just mentioned are things that even a modern person would find difficult to consider so thoroughly, let alone an ancient person.
Seeing Zhao Xian staring at her like that, Ruan Fang felt a little embarrassed and said, "Lord Shaofu, am I wrong?"
“What you said makes a lot of sense. You have considered the issues very comprehensively. We do need to think carefully about the issues you mentioned and plan ahead. We must not let the second phase of the project become an unfinished project.”
"Does the young master have any good ideas?" the village head asked.
"I do have some ideas that may help the construction of the second phase of the project and prevent it from being abandoned."
"What good ideas does the young master have? Please share them," Ruan Fang said.
"Among the thousand acres of land I rented some time ago, there is a lake of more than two hundred acres. I plan to develop this lake into a recreational place for the village."
I plan to plant lotus flowers in the lake and release koi carp into it.
Around the lake, some pavilions and towers should be built for people to relax and enjoy themselves, which will attract some literati and scholars.
Another important thing Li Guang did during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River was to study the architectural style of the water towns in the region.
Upon returning, I will design some buildings by the lake, transforming it into a renowned leisure destination.
In addition, I have a 3,000-mu plot of farmland granted by the imperial court, where high-yield crops imported from overseas are grown.
Li Guang is currently in charge of planting, and he wants to promote these crops throughout the country within two or three years to completely solve the famine problem in the Great Northern Dynasty.
Between this farmland and the mountains, there is a wasteland of more than 1,000 acres. I plan to buy this wasteland and use it to build a series of workshops.
After the workshop was built, it specialized in producing products that people needed, covering all aspects of people's lives, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
I estimated that if all these workshops were to go into production, the number of workers would reach several thousand.
With so many people, so many industries, and so many products, the development of commodity trade in Shuixian Village will be greatly promoted.
Zhao Xian's words surprised and delighted Ruan Fang; she hadn't expected Zhao Xian to be so generous.
She believed in Zhao Xian's abilities and was confident that he could make his plans a reality.
Thinking of this, Ruan Fang spoke up:
"If what Lord Shaofu said is true, with so many industries supporting it, the second phase of the market project will definitely be a hit. I will also invest in some shops then."
The village head was very excited, it seemed that the conditions for the construction of the second phase of the farmers' market were ready.
The village participated in the first phase of the market construction, which caused the value of their funds to increase rapidly, reaching several thousand taels of silver.
He plans to take out all of this money and invest it all in the second phase of the project.
At this moment, Ruan Fang spoke up: "The second phase of the project is different from the first phase. The second phase of the project can not only make money by buying shops."
Investing in village infrastructure, such as road and bridge construction, can also generate profits, and we can encourage villagers to invest.
Ruan Fang's words made Zhao Xian sigh again. There is a popular saying in modern times: "If you want to get rich, build roads first."
It's surprising that people from a thousand years ago realized this.
