Chapter 265 Why Do Clouds Fly in the Sky?
"Mom knows me best." Miao Jiu laughed immediately.
"You can take them with you, but it's not safe outside the city after all. Bring enough people with you to avoid any accidents." Si Ning looked at him and gave instructions seriously.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on them." Miao Jiu agreed without hesitation.
Si Jinchen and Juanjuan had just woken up when Miao Jiu pulled them into the car outside their home.
Both children looked confused.
"Uncle, where are you taking us?" Juanjuan turned to look at the person sitting in the middle seat.
"Let's go outside the city and take a look. There are still quite a few people staying here recently." Miao Jiu didn't say anything else.
Juanjuan thought of the houses in the slums: "Uncle, don't the people in the slums have anything to do?"
"Yes! Some of them pull rickshaws, and some help people move things at the docks. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Miao Jiu looked at him with some confusion.
"I think the people outside the city are similar to them." Juanjuan scratched his hair.
Si Jinchen looked at Miao Jiu: "Uncle, is it difficult for them to support themselves?"
"It's really difficult. We don't have any special skills and no good source of income." Miao Jiu and his friends are not philanthropists. There are so many people in the city.
Do they have to help every family in need? What will they do then?
The two children didn't say anything else, but turned to look out the window.
Juanjuan saw someone carrying eggs on the street and stood up and moved to Si Jinchen's side: "Brother, did you send all the leftover eggs at home to the orphanage?"
"Yes, you said before that the leftover eggs would be given to other children, so grandma and the others sent the leftover eggs to the orphanage." Si Jinchen didn't understand why she asked that.
He looked at Juanjuan: "Don't you want to send it off?"
Juanjuan shook her head: "No."
She thought for a long time before asking, "Uncle, is it difficult for everyone to eat meat?"
"It is difficult for ordinary people to have a meal of meat. There are relatively few meats raised, so the price is relatively expensive." Miao Jiu explained the current situation to the two children.
"If it's not difficult to buy, can everyone eat meat?" Juanjuan looked at him innocently.
"If there is more meat, the price will naturally come down." After Miao Jiu said this, an idea flashed in his mind.
Agriculture seems to have a lot of room for development, and so does animal husbandry.
There is a lot of vacant land outside the city now. If it is used to grow vegetables and crops, it should bring in good income.
Raising livestock is also a good thing. It seems that this can solve many problems of the people. Let's go to Siming to discuss it first: "Miao Long, don't go outside the city, go to the military governor's office."
"Uncle, why don't we go out of the city to find dad?" Juanjuan's eyes lit up.
Miao Jiu reached out and scratched her nose: "Yes, let's go find your father."
The two children sat down obediently again.
Siming saw the three of them coming together and was a little surprised: "Why are you here together?"
"I was originally planning to take them out of the city, but then I thought of something, so I decided to bring them here to discuss it with you."
Miao Jiu sat on the sofa and watched the two children who started looking for things to play with in Siming's office.
"Are you here for the affairs of the people outside the city?" Siming asked the two little guys after looking at them.
"There's still a lot of unused land outside the city, why not put it to use? Even though we have the Liu family's former farmland, it's still not enough to feed the entire Beiyang City population."
"We have no shortage of labor here. As long as we're willing to work, we'll have a full meal sooner or later. I'm also thinking about raising some livestock or something."
"I heard there's a new thing called canned food in foreign companies, which seems to be used to store fruits and meat."
On the way here, Miao Jiu remembered that Miao Long had mentioned this before, but he had never been interested in these foreign goods.
"Do you want them to open up new land?" Siming immediately understood his idea.
"It's not just them. There are also many people living in the slums of the city. As long as they can work, why would they worry about not having enough to eat?" Miao Jiu tilted his head and looked at him.
"That's a good idea. We had this idea before the Liu family's land fell into our hands."
"Later, the Liu family acquired the land. Since you and Eldest Sister were not here, I didn't have enough manpower, so I put the land reclamation project on hold."
Siming and his team did have the idea of opening up new land before, but at that time they were short of both financial resources and manpower.
Now we really don't lack these things, so we can implement all these plans. Who would complain about having too much food?
They have a lot of people to feed, so of course the more money and food the better.
"I have a lot of people there, so you don't have to worry about this matter. I will ask someone to handle it." There are at least 800 people under Miao Jiu.
It shouldn't be particularly difficult to let them manage the people who are pioneering the new land.
"Okay, I'll teach you then." Siming no longer cared about the resettlement of these people.
"Are you still planning to keep that woman Jing Xiuxiu?" Miao Jiuda had a feeling that if you don't do anything, I will help you.
"Don't touch her for now. She's a member of the Northern Government. We don't have any food or guns right now. Breaking up with them now wouldn't be a good thing."
"Although I'm not afraid of those guys, I don't want everyone to sacrifice in vain." Si Ming would not choose a head-on confrontation unless he had much chance of winning.
"That's true. We're already purchasing machine tools for the arsenal. It'll take some time to ship them here, but we can have A-Tian build a cannery first."
"We're all buying machine tools anyway, so building a few more factories won't make any difference, right?" Miao Jiu smiled brightly.
"Okay, let's go back and talk to A Tian today about building a cannery. But I'm afraid we don't have that much money right now."
"If we don't have any, then we can find a way to make money. I feel that my fortune is pretty good now." A smile appeared on Miao Jiu's face.
Now all the industries in Sitian's hands can make money, whether it is raincoats, rouge, or clothes, they can all bring them huge profits.
The premise of these interests is a stable situation, so the current situation should be as stable as possible, and the longer it can be delayed, the better.
"Brother, do you know why Yunyun is flying in the sky?" Juanjuan lay on the windowsill and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
Si Jinchen was really stumped by this question. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"What's the problem? Tell us." Siming and Miao Jiu walked behind them.
"Dad, uncle, do you know why clouds fly in the sky?" Si Jinchen looked at the two of them and asked Juanjuan's question.
