Just for this reason, we need to open up river transportation?
Madam Xiao really didn't know what to say, "Isn't it convenient for Mr. Li to go to the county government?"
She even wanted to say that as long as Li Qian wanted to go to the county government, she could arrange a special convoy to escort him at any time.
Of course, this guy still needs her escort?
But in order to show her sincerity, this didn't matter.
"What I mean by convenience is not only the convenience for people to go to the county government, but also the convenience for goods from our village to the county government," Li Qian said.
"Goods?" Madam Xiao was even speechless, "Did Mr. Li open up the river transportation to facilitate business?"
Li Qian nodded, "Yes, just for the convenience of doing business, I plan to open a business in the county."
"Open a business?" Madam Xiao opened her mouth.
"Yes, open a business. Didn't you see that Beiba Village has hired a lot of people now? People from several villages have been recruited. More and more things are produced, and more and more people want to eat. How can we do this without opening a business?" Li Qian said.
Madam Xiao rolled her eyelids and said, "Mr. Li, how does your business opening have anything to do with what we are talking about?"
"Of course it does matter. If I can't establish myself in the county government first, how can I act? Do you really think that some things can be done with just words?" Li Qian said.
"But opening up the river transport is not something that can be done in a day or two." Mrs. Xiao said, "Once this matter is settled, the river transport can be opened at any time. Now even if you want to open a business, the goods can be transported by land first."
"This matter can't be done in a day or two. It seems that I have to make a new charter for this matter." Li Qian chuckled.
Madam Xiao pressed her chest and tried not to get angry, "Mr. Li, you are just raising the price on the ground. Using that incident as an excuse to ask us to help you open up the river transportation is actually just your own selfishness."
"How could Mrs. Xiao say that? Think about it, if the river transportation is opened, it will be more convenient for me to travel to Hengshui Thirteenth Ward. When you come to our village in the future, you can just use the waterway, which will save you nine years." Make eighteen turns and take some unnecessary detours." Li Qian said.
"If Mrs. Xiao really can't make the decision, she can go back and discuss it with the dock owners first. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and anyway, the money from the prefect's house will not be in my hands in the end."
Li Qian shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
Looking at Li Qian's appearance, Madam Xiao felt her teeth itching with hatred.
In the end, she had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "Mr. Li, whatever you say makes sense anyway, okay, I'll find some craftsmen for Mr. Li to do this. It can be done."
If she doesn't agree, this guy might be up to something else.
Anyway, it’s just a question of finding some craftsmen. Their livelihood at Hengshui Thirteenth Wharf is based on water, and there are many people who are good at this.
"This is Madam Xiao's way of doing things. What I, Li Qian, hate most is procrastination. It's convenient for you and it's convenient for me. It would be great if it's convenient for everyone." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I have already promised you this. Should you tell me your plan?" Mrs. Xiao exhaled deeply.
"Plan? What plan?" Li Qian asked.
Madam Xiao's chest began to rise and fall violently again, and she couldn't hold it down anymore.
"Mr. Li, I came so sincerely and agreed to your request so sincerely. Now you tell me that you don't have any plans yet?"
Li Qian touched his nose and said, "Do we still need to plan for this kind of thing? We can't just do it and be done with it."
Madam Xiao felt like her chest was going to explode, "Just do it, how do you do it?"
She felt that since coming into contact with this person, she had become angry that she had never been angry with in her entire life.
"Didn't I say, first establish yourself in the county and then take your time. This is the best plan." Li Qian said.
Madam Xiao secretly gritted her teeth and stared at Li Qian for a long time.
"What? Why is Mrs. Xiao looking at me like this?" Li Qian looked scared.
"Okay, then I will wait for Mr. Li to establish himself in the county government first, and then see what Mr. Li is capable of!"
Madam Xiao said fiercely, and then left directly.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she might be angry to death.
Li Qian also shouted quickly, "Mrs. Xiao, please go slowly, but don't forget about the craftsmen."
Madam Xiao just rode away without looking back.
After Mrs. Xiao left, Li Qian also smiled, now it's good, the matter of building the dock has been settled.
