After Eunuch Ming and his entourage left, Dahe Village returned to its former busyness.
The sound of reading loudly in Dahe School floats in the sky, the shouts of Meishan workers are endless, the market is bustling with all kinds of bargaining sounds, and the sound of building houses. Houses are rising one after another. This is indeed becoming more and more... It looks less and less like a village.
Cheng Wanwan then started to look at the account books of the past few months.
The output income of the soap workshop has always been stable, which is her main income.
The rich family of the glycerin workshop charged forward and sold lotus root powder produced in winter. They had already established a foothold in Yuncheng. Next, Mr. Qian's target was the Beijing market.
"Women's demand for skin care products simply exceeds the imagination of the old man." Mr. Qian exclaimed, "According to the current daily output of the workshop, it can only supply the land of Yuncheng, Huzhou. If we want to spread the market in the capital, we must have Expand production, people from Suigong, I heard that Dahe Village will be renamed Dahe Town, and the population will increase and there will be more manpower. I think the workshop can be expanded again."
In fact, the glycerin workshop has been expanded once, otherwise it would not be able to supply the Yuncheng market.
But there is no other way. This product is cheap and has obvious effects. It is very popular among women and is often in short supply.
Cheng Wanwan thought for a while and said: "Since it is going to be expanded, the soap workshop should also be expanded and a new workshop should be built."
She has always purchased the high-level alcohol needed for soap production in large quantities from the mall and stored it in the warehouse, allowing people to take it directly from the warehouse. This is not going to work in the long run, so a workshop specializing in the production of industrial alcohol must be built. In the future, she If we go to the capital again, we can operate freely here.
High-strength wine requires grain to brew, and the extraction of industrial alcohol is much simpler. The raw materials include plant rhizomes, peels, wheat stems... As long as plants contain starch and sugar, they can be fermented into alcohol.
Mr. Qian left happily.
Cheng Wanwan opened the map of Dahe Village. In the past, Dahe Village was full of vacant land. You could buy wherever you wanted.
However, since the study policy was announced, there have been fewer and fewer open spaces in Dahe Village, especially near her home. It can be said that half an acre of open space is gone.
If you want to expand the workshop, you have to buy the unused wasteland on the edge of the village to build the factory.
She called Zhao Dashan to buy land, asked shopkeeper Yan to handle the expansion of the workshop, and asked Mrs. Zhao to prepare in advance to recruit people.
At the same time, Aunt Wang, Mrs. Zhu, and Daya also came to hand in their account books.
The Wang family's braised food business is getting bigger and bigger. Not only has it established cooperative relationships with restaurants in nearby counties and towns, but it also sells braised food to Huzhou.
The Songhua Eggs produced by Mrs. Zhu’s family are even more amazing. Since the name was established, many businessmen from other places who came to Dahe Village saw the business opportunities. Whenever they came to the soap workshop to pick up goods, they would buy a carriage of Songhua Eggs and take them back to the local area. In terms of sales, the Zhu family's business is getting better and better.
Da Ya and Er Ya specialize in the ice powder business, but this is a seasonal business and can only be done for a few months in the summer. Because it is difficult to transport and preserve, they are currently only sold on a small scale. Fortunately, the tourism industry in Dahe Village is becoming more and more popular. Well, the ice powder market is also quite good. In the past few months, the two girls have also made a lot of money.
The total dividends from these three companies amounted to more than 4,000 taels of silver.
There is also the tourism industry in the village. She can also get some dividends from the lotus pond and flower garden, which adds up to a considerable amount of income.
Cheng Wanwan sighed comfortably. This money was earned entirely on the side, and it was the easiest money to make.
In fact, during this trip to the capital, she spent a lot of money, firstly on upgrading the mall's storage room, and secondly on that top-quality ginseng, and almost all the money she saved was used up.
I used to think that I was a rich woman, but when I went out for a trip, I realized that I really can’t help spending money.
Therefore, you have to make more money while you are young.
She sat on a wicker chair and saw the red hot peppers hanging under the eaves.
She laughed. Chili peppers were made into chili sauce, bean paste, Laoganma... In fact, she had developed all kinds of chili-related seasonings. She had always supplied them to Dahe Banquet and for her own use, leaving the exclusive secret recipe to Dahe Banquet. Some of them can be put into the market and bring in a lot of money.
This business can be left to other people, and she can just sit back and take the money.
While she was thinking about it, she saw Cheng Jia leading Li Zheng into the flower hall.
"Da Shan Niang, this time I can only ask you for help." Li Zheng sat down with a sad face, "Ming Gonggong said that as long as I pass the county assessment, I can be promoted to the ninth grade county magistrate, so I went to ask Mr. Shen specifically. , Your Excellency gave me more than twenty books..."
He took out his baggage, which was full of various books, including basic management, government affairs, and jurisdiction... Although these words were all familiar, when put together, the meaning was difficult to understand. , and he is too old to remember it at all.
He originally thought that getting promoted was a good thing, but he didn't expect that it would almost kill him.
Cheng Wanwan turned around and felt a headache. The classical Chinese text was really too difficult to chew.
"Now that the emperor has spoken, the county's assessment shouldn't be too difficult, and after the new county magistrate takes office, he will need people who are familiar with the local area to assist in the administration. I think all he needs to do is remember some key knowledge points in the book. "She selected five books from them, "These management methods and imperial decrees are the things that should be read thoroughly. Uncle Li Zheng still has to fight hard."
"Thank you so much, Dashan Niang!" Li Zheng hurriedly opened the five books separately, "I estimate that it will take at least half a year to read them. Is half a year too long?"
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "Half a year later, around the time when Dahe Town was established, the county is in need of people. I will definitely not make things difficult for Uncle Li Zheng. Don't worry. Now what Uncle Li Zheng has to think about is, next, our big Who can manage Hecun?"
Li Zheng really wanted to say, let you manage Dahe Village.
But he knew that Dashan Niang had many more important things to be busy with. Her world was far and wide, and she was not confined to a small village.
Seeing that Li Zheng was silent, Cheng Wanwan said: "In the past year or so, Tie Zhu has made great progress. Before Uncle Li Zheng is promoted, can Tie Zhu be the deputy Li Zheng? If it can be done Okay, after Uncle Li Zheng takes office in the county, our Dahe Village will be handed over directly to Tiezhu."
Generally speaking, villages have a clan relationship, and management positions such as district chief are not included in the Yamen establishment, so the village can make its own decision on this matter. Of course, if the county magistrate is dissatisfied after the decision is made, he can also directly remove him.
"Tie Zhu is my grandson. It's not good for me to make the decision on this matter." Li Zheng stroked his beard, "Well, doesn't our village have a precedent of a show of hands? This time, all the villagers will also participate. Let’s decide. If everyone chooses Tiezhu, it will be Tiezhu. If there are other candidates in everyone’s mind, I don’t mind letting others be the agent. What do you think, Dashan Niang?”
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "It is indeed better to let everyone decide."
Dahe Village is no longer the simple village it once was. It was dominated by the Zhao family in the beginning, and the Zhao family has the final say in all affairs.
But now the total number of people with the young surname almost exceeds the population of the Zhao family. It would be inappropriate for the Zhao family to speak openly.
Democratic elections are undoubtedly the best method at present.
