Chapter 348: Is the Silver Ready?
few days.When emptying the second granary, Fang Jinshi sighed helplessly at the rapidly filling space."How did it expand before"She had also been stuffing herbs into it for a while, but the space hadn...Village Head Wang was taken aback. "But didn't you want to buy the wasteland Without the elders' approval, this matter will be difficult to handle."
Fang Jinshi said, “Village Chief Wang, you must know what it means for me to buy this wasteland to the village.”
"Such a big mountain, no matter what I want to do, just relying on our family alone definitely wouldn't be enough."
"By then, I'll definitely have to get the villagers to help me with the work. My business will have a way forward, and that means everyone in the village will have a way forward too."
"You helping me is like helping the entire village. If I agreed to these elders' demands, it wouldn't just affect me; it would impact everyone."
"They are robbing the villagers of their interests."
"Are you sure you want to stand with them and make demands of me"
The village head suddenly realized, yes, wasn't he actively helping her because he considered that after Fang Jinshu bought the wasteland, she could provide the village with more work
How come I kept going around in circles and ended up being led astray by those old fellows again.
"I know this won't help, the elders don't care that much."
If we don't agree to their demands, the matter of Arrow Mountain won't get done. We have to find a way to solve the immediate problem first.
Fang Jinshi let out a mocking laugh. "Uncle Wang, you're just too easygoing. That's why they dare to make demands of you so brazenly."
As the village head, since the requests of several elders affect the interests of all villagers, please tell my previous words to everyone in the village.
"Do you think the villagers would agree to a few elders' requests"
"If you can't handle them on your own, let the whole village know. See who cracks first under pressure."
Wang, the village head, pondered for a moment and thought Fang Jinshu's idea was good. He nodded eagerly.
Okay, I'll go take care of it now.
Fang Jinshi's plan to buy the wasteland quickly spread through the village. Village Chief Wang specifically emphasized that with such a large mountain, the Zongyu family would inevitably need manpower in the future.
The path to Nobuyuki's village is so difficult that their family can only prioritize villagers when hiring people.
Within half a day, several villagers came to Wang Village Head's house to inquire about the matter. Wang Village Head first pretended to accidentally reveal some inside information to them.
Fang Jinshu had already promised him that when the time came, he would ask villagers to do the work. Not only would he pay them wages, but he would also give everyone grain to plant vegetables.
Hearing this, the villagers were so excited that they felt like they could fly to heaven. Not only would they get silver for working at Zong Yu's house, but they would also receive grain and vegetables to plant!
This is what they most want right now.
Before they could enjoy themselves for a few seconds, Village Head Wang started sighing again.
"I'd love to secure this benefit for you, but someone in the village is obstructing Zong Yujia from purchasing the wasteland. If we can't buy the wasteland, who will provide for your work and meals"
The village head Wang's method was quite clever. He managed to identify several elders who opposed the purchase of wasteland by simply asking a few villagers.
The village had been in an uproar for several days, and Fang Jinshu sat every day on the hillside watching the commotion below. Several elders were besieged by villagers at their doorsteps, unable to leave.
After several days of clamor, the matter has finally come to an end.
Last night, Village Head Wang came to find Fang Jinshiu with the agreement signed by everyone in the village. He had a happy expression on his face.
“Great! Great! Tomorrow morning, we can set off for the government office.”
He also remembered to ask Fang Jinshu one thing.
"Jinxiu, is your silver ready"
Fāng Jǐnxiù raised an eyebrow, of course she wasn't prepared.
Su Yusheng's caravan arrived several days later than expected, but Fang Jinshu didn't put all her hopes on the caravan bringing silver.
She had quite a lot of good things in her space. She'd been collecting medicine herbs on the mountain these days, concocting them at home every day. Her hands were full of valuable and rare medicinal herbs.
This trip to the county town will probably take more than a day or two to return.
Fang Jinxiu discussed with Village Head Wang. Hearing that she might be gone for many days, Village Head Wang was worried. The village couldn't run without people, and if he were away for too long, who knew what kind of trouble they might get into.
Recently, the village has become very lively again because of farming. It's not uncommon for two households to quarrel over small matters.
If he only goes for one or two days, he's fine.
After thinking for a moment, the village head said, "Then I'll let Tiezhu go with you. I can't be away from the village for too long."
"I will explain the process of buying and selling the deserted mountain to Tiezhu."nd let him open the door when Zong Yu had already walked to her face.His steps were so fast, taking her by surprise. He was too close, and Fang Jinshu's face instantly flushed. She couldn't even speak...
