Chapter 210 Construction starts three days after the New Year

The village chief blinked with excitement and said, "What Miss Nan means is that she wants to select a group of people to plant flowers in our area."

Nan Yan nodded, "I will provide the flower seeds, and the other things will be done by the villagers themselves. The price will range from fifty to eighty cents per catty."

The supplies in Beijing are not even a little bit more expensive than those in Linzhou.

She doesn't care about anything other than providing flower seeds. She is only responsible for collecting flowers, which costs fifty to eighty cents.

The village chief's mind quickly turned around between the benefits of growing flowers and growing food.

Do the math, if the flowers Nan Yan mentioned can be harvested every year.

The income is more than that earned from food.

The village chief thought that if the flower harvest was good, excluding labor and taxes, he would be able to save about ten taels of silver.

Then I thought that they didn't understand the flowers Nan Yan was talking about.

To grow flowers, Nan Yan still needs someone to teach them.

The village chief expressed his concerns.

Nan Yan also told the village chief that she would send people to teach the villagers how to plant in the early stage.

...Growing flowers also requires signing a contract.

She didn't want to work hard for a long time and end up making wedding clothes for others.

After receiving Nan Yan's words, the village chief happily took Old Man Wang and his son away from Nan's house and returned to the village to summon the villagers to discuss the incident.

On the way, I didn't forget to ask Old Man Wang: "Brother, do you want to plant some at home?"

Old man Wang is a farmer, and he only knows that food is more important than flowers.

He was thinking about how many flowers he would plant if he kept bees at home.

This is what he thinks, although food is important, beekeeping is also important.

Miss Nan said that if there were more flowers in the ground, the bees would collect more pollen and get more honey.

If his family wants to keep bees, he can't let his bees go to other people's fields to pick flowers!

No matter what, this flower must be planted and cultivated.

As for how much to plant, I can only decide after going home and discussing with my old lady.

With high expectations for the future, several people went to the village in a happy mood and convened the villagers non-stop to discuss the matter.

The next morning, Nan Yan changed into men's clothes and walked towards Wangjiacun under the watchful eye of her mother.

I also negotiated cooperation with Wang Lisong yesterday.

Today I took someone to visit Wangjiacun in person to see the situation in the Wangjiacun land.

By the way, Zhu Shijie brought back several pots of roses, peonies, and chrysanthemums from afar, and showed them to the villagers in real form.

You can't, let the villagers plant them without knowing what the flowers look like.

Village Chief Wang and Old Man Wang were waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

Seeing several carriages approaching from a distance, Old Man Wang shouted excitedly: Here we are, Miss Nan is here?"

Village Chief Wang also saw it. He pretended to be reserved and not as excited as Old Man Wang.

Although he was not excited on the outside, he was very hot inside.

Village Chief Wang waved his hand, "Let's go ahead and wait for Miss Nan."

Old Man Wang nodded quickly, "Let's go!

Wang Xiaoxiao, who was driving a carriage, came up to meet someone and reported to Nan Yan.

Nan Yan took Zi Su and Miss Wang got out of the carriage to chat with Village Chief Wang.

Zhu Shijie, who was riding in the second carriage, also got off at this time.

The purpose of Nan Yan's coming to the village was to see the situation on the ground, leaving other matters to Zhu Shijie.

Zhu Shijie got off the carriage and started chatting with the village chief and others.

The village chief was talking and laughing as he led Nan Yan and his group to walk inside. The children playing on the road saw the carriage for the first time.

Staring at the carriage with bright eyes.

Some younger ones shouted directly: "Big horses, big horses...and big cars..."

They were the old man in the village, the aunt, the young wife, and the young girl who was secretly poking at each other. Nan Yan and Zhu Shijie were walking at the front with the village chief.

The children were discussing the carriage on the left side of the carriage. The village chief said a little embarrassedly: "The children rarely go to the city and have not seen much of the world. I hope Miss Nan can forgive me."

Nan Yan lived in the village for a while.

I know that adults will not take the children in the village to the market in the city unless it is a festival.

He smiled politely and said: "I have three nephews at home who are about the same age as these children. Isn't it strange that they are also curious in this way and that all the time?"

The village chief heard that Nan's family had a child, so he chatted with Nan Yan about the child.

When the village chief realized it later, he felt that he was really...

How to talk to Miss Nan about raising children.

Not to mention that Miss Nan is an unmarried girl who has never given birth to any children.

Let’s just say that Nan’s family has a big business and raising their children must be different from them.

How could he bring up this topic?

The village chief looked embarrassed and changed the subject: "Miss Nan, I called the villagers to talk about planting flowers after I returned to the village yesterday."

The village chief felt really embarrassed when he said this.

He originally thought that when the villagers heard about the great opportunity to make money, they would actively participate.

Unexpectedly, many people are worried about not being able to grow flowers.

Don't join the flower planting team, just farm the land to earn food money.

Nan Yan learned that some people are unwilling to plant seeds.

Even if they are willing to plant crops, they are not willing to use too much land for planting.

I only want to test the water out of one to three acres.

Nan Yan said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, the village chief only needs to call the villagers who are willing to plant flowers to come over and sign a contract with Butler Zhu.

Butler Zhu will arrange for someone to teach them how to plant flowers."

Nan Yan looked like this, but in her heart she said: "It's really not their own land. These people can't see the profits brought by flowers, so they ask people to grow flowers and they have to be sincere.

However, some people don’t plant them and wait until later to know the benefits of flowers.

There are a lot of flowers on the market.

She can only ensure that her own people are not hungry, and she does not care about other sales channels.

I also learned some lessons from Linzhou.

Even if she doesn't give you flower seeds, some smart people can always get them from other sources.

After all, Linzhou is already overflowing with flowers.

People with smart minds will definitely see a way to get rich in the future.

Nan Yan thought this way and asked Zhu Shijie to sign a contract with the villagers who were willing to plant flowers.

Bring three pots of flowers and plant seedlings to a house that is willing to grow flowers, and the family will teach them how to plant them.

Finally, I went to have a look in the fields.

After telling Zhu Shijie to plant the flowers, Nan Yan took the carriage back to the city.

After returning to the city, Nan Yan didn't plan to go back yet.

Strike while the iron is hot and go to the Yamen to buy back a thousand acres of land.

With the land deed in her arms, she swaggered out of the Yamen, secretly thinking that she had to go back and tell her mother before she could leave Beijing.

When Nan Yan returned home, she immediately found Kong Shangci and told her that she would be out for a while.

Kong Shangci said thoughtfully: "You said that you have to go out to do business and need to go for a few months."

Nan Yan nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I need to go out for one to two months."

Kong Shangci frowned...

My daughter's birthday will be celebrated in more than a month, and she will be away for one to two months before she can come back.

How can this be done?

Kong Shangci frowned and said, "No, it's your birthday on the sixth day of next month, and my mother has already started preparing the necessary items.

What will you do if you’re out for such a long time and can’t come back in time?”
