After noon, Cheng Wanwan went to the flower garden.
The construction of the flower garden here is getting better and better, with various flowers blooming one after another, a rockery pavilion located in it, and a flowing water flowing through the water. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
Cheng Yuanyuan carefully watered the flowers and removed insects, and her whole body was immersed in it. Although she was sunburned, there was a kind of tranquility in her body that had passed through the years.
Whether a person is living well or not can actually be seen from his temperament.
Cheng Wanwan once again felt that it was the best choice for her eldest sister to divorce that scumbag.
"Wanwan, why are you here?" Cheng Yuanyuan stood up and wiped the sweat from his head, "You have been tired for so long, why don't you sleep a little longer."
"Sister, let's sit for a while." Cheng Wanwan hugged her arm and sat in the pavilion, "I'm here to tell eldest sister something important."
Cheng Yuanyuan sounded serious.
"There was a flood in Nanyang and all the crops were destroyed. After things settled down, it was past the season for growing food, so I thought about letting them grow flowers." Cheng Wanwan took a sip of tea and continued, "When it comes to growing flowers, my eldest sister ranks second, and no one dares to call me first. I want my eldest sister to take some time to go to Nanyang and teach the farmers there to grow chrysanthemums and orchids."
Cheng Yuanyuan is specifically responsible for this flower garden. Naturally, she knows that there are not enough flowers. They must not only be viewed by tourists, but also picked in time to supply to the skin care product workshop. Peach blossoms in one season cannot produce too many finished products, so the flower garden needs to be expanded urgently. But she didn't expect that Wanwan would want to expand the flower garden so far away in Nanyang.
She thought for a while and said, "Of course it won't be a problem for me to go there, but Nanyang is so far away. If we wait for the flowers to bloom before transporting them to Dahe Town for processing, all the flowers will be gone. Will it affect..."
"Eldest sister doesn't need to worry about this matter." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Eldest sister will hand over the affairs of the flower garden. In about half a month, eldest sister will go to Nanyang with the flower seedlings."
After making an agreement with Cheng Yuanyuan, she asked someone to invite Mr. Qian.
However, Mr. Qian went to the provincial capital in the afternoon and came back the next day. As soon as he got home, he hurried to Dahe Town.
The two chatted for a while about Nanyang, and then started getting down to business.
"Didn't Mr. Qian always think that the daily production volume of the glycerin workshop is too low?" Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Although a new workshop has been expanded, the supply is still in short supply. The main reason is that the raw materials are limited, so I I plan to plant various flowers extensively in Qing'an County, Nanyang. However, Nanyang is too far away from us. The fresh flowers will be consumed in large quantities after being purchased and transported... I was thinking about whether I could build a flower processing factory in Qing'an County. How about making the flowers into semi-finished products and then transporting them to Dahe Town for final processing?"
Mr. Qian's eyes lit up: "Kongren's idea is really great. As long as the supply of flowers can be provided, the production of thousands of bottles per day is not a big problem. Let me leave the construction of the processing plant to the old man. The Qian family happens to be here There is also business in Nanyang, so we can just dispatch people to handle it."
Cheng Wanwan was waiting for his words. The Qian family was doing business everywhere and had connections everywhere. It would be a good idea to let Mr. Qian take charge of this matter.
After the flower planting matter was clearly explained, Cheng Wanwan asked Cheng Jia to drive to the county government office in Ping'an County.
County Magistrate Wei greeted them very respectfully: "I have met the Suigong people. It is our blessing to Ping'an County that the Suigong people can return safely. Please hurry in and invite someone to come and serve tea to the Suigong people."
The master immediately poured a cup of fragrant tea and served it.
Cheng Wanwan took a sip of tea, and before explaining the purpose of his visit, County Magistrate Wei said: "All the subordinates have heard about the incident in Nanyang City. This move by the Suigong people will not only help the victims of Nanyang tide over the difficulties, but also Let the canal in Dahe Town be completed as soon as possible. If Xiaguan was involved in it, it would be impossible to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. There are really too many things Xiaguan has to learn."
"Master Wei is still young. After a few years of experience in office, he will naturally grow up." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Youth is a person's greatest asset because he can learn endlessly. Let Master Wei do the canal thing." I feel relieved to be responsible.”
"The Suigong people are very complimentary." Wei County Magistrate cupped his hands, and then took out the canal map, "This is the canal map that the official asked someone to draw. Can the Suigong people take a look and see if there is anything that needs improvement?"
Cheng Wanwan took it and looked at it carefully. Because of the limited human capital before, the length of the canal was also limited. From Dahe Town to the north directly to Hekou County, any place that Hekou County can reach can be directly reached from Dahe Town. In addition, Connecting to Qingzhou in the south, it will be more convenient to go to the south in the future. Even if only two canals are opened, the budget cost will be astonishingly high, at least 50,000 taels of silver.
"Before, we planned to dig in autumn and winter, and recruit 8,000 laborers, and the construction period would be three months. But now, there are more people, and the construction period can be extended a little longer. So, I think we can open another canal." Cheng Wanwan said The finger fell on the land of Yangzhou in the east, "This is the most prosperous Jiangnan area in the entire Daewoo Dynasty. If this road can be opened, Dahe Town can truly become a commercial center."
County Magistrate Wei took a breath: "The Suigong people do have a good idea, but from Dahe Town to Yangzhou, a journey of several hundred miles requires at least an additional budget of one hundred thousand taels of silver, even if all the businessmen contribute generously. , and it’s impossible to collect so much money.”
It turns out that two lines require at least 50,000 taels. With the third line, it reaches 150,000 taels, which is tantamount to a huge sum of money.
Cheng Wanwan also knew that this was a lot of money, equivalent to more than ten million in modern coins. This was when wages were very low in ancient times.
But since we have to do this big thing, we have to do it once and for all. There may not be such a good opportunity in the future.
She said slowly: "The entire project is divided into three phases. The money raised from businessmen will be used to build the first and second phases. If there is not enough, I will make up for it. As for the funds for the third phase... don't worry, there will always be a way."
Magistrate Wei opened his lips and didn't know what to say.
He was just a newly appointed seventh-grade official, and he didn't understand many things, so he had better follow Sui Gongren's footsteps.
He said: "Then I will draft a notice to raise funds now. Please wait a moment, Mr. Sui."
He hurriedly asked people to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and started writing seriously. Over a cup of tea, the notice for public solicitation was completed.
Cheng Wanwan checked it over and found that there was no major problem. She asked Magistrate Wei to write another copy and take it back to Dahe Town for Tiezhu to post it.
A bulletin board was built in Dahe Town. Everything in the town was announced directly here. As soon as the notice was posted on the wall, many people came to watch.
"Building the canal?"
"Fund raising?"
"Dahe Town is going to open a canal? How much money and manpower will it cost?"
"If this canal is really opened, wouldn't our Dahe Town be as prosperous as Hekou County?"
"You are too narrow-minded. If this canal is put into operation, Dahe Town will immediately surpass Hekou County and other states and become the number one dock in Yun Province!"
"Oh, you're so awesome, then I'll donate two taels of silver!"
"..."
