Seeing that no one refuted, Zhou Qing expressed his thoughts one by one.
"First of all, the reason why we need to open a land specifically for growing vegetables is as mentioned before, so that the land will not be abandoned and everyone can have something to do. There is another important reason. I know that we in Dahe Village are all
People who are hard-working and able to endure hardships also know that everyone is a good person, but I am a foreigner. To be honest, many of them just met for the first time today, and we don’t understand each other at all.
Naturally, I don’t know as much about planting land and vegetables as you do, but if we don’t plant them together but plant them separately, who can guarantee the quantity that will be grown? On the contrary, if we plant them all together, it will be obvious at a glance.”
Although Zhou Qing's words were not very clear, he understood them all, but he was worried that people would eat most of the vegetables they grew.
Although I am somewhat dissatisfied, I have to admit that such concerns are justified.
Zhou Qing was able to express such worries directly. Zhang Dashuan admired him, not to mention others.
"Then let's talk about how to divide the money we make. This is my initial plan. The prices of shops in the county are very low now. If I make money selling vegetables, I plan to buy a shop. This shop will belong to our Dahe Village.
Everyone has it, and if they have anything in the future, they can sell it in the shop, so we don’t have to work hard to set up a stall."
The villagers, like Zhang Dashuan who heard this for the first time, were all fooled by Zhou Qing's pie.
A few elderly people still doubted their own ears and asked the people next to them.
"What did the village chief say just now? Why did I vaguely hear him saying he wanted to buy a shop?"
"Uncle Li, you heard that right, that's what he said just now."
Anyone who thought Zhou Qing's words had some truth before will feel that she is unreliable after hearing this.
That was a shop in the county town. When Dahe Village was at its best, no one built a shop in the county town.
Now the new village chief said that he would use the money from selling vegetables to build a shop in his village, which sounded unreliable.
Although no one spoke, Zhou Qing could already tell their thoughts from the troubled looks in their eyes, knowing that most of them would find his idea to be whimsical.
Zhou Qing had already expected this, after all, he had tried it on Zhang Dashuan before, right?
So I wasn't surprised. The method of persuasion was very simple, and it was still the same rhetoric he used against Zhang Dashuan.
I have bought all kinds of vegetables. If I try it, I won’t lose anything. Everyone is happy. If it fails, the worst thing is that I still get points for vegetables.
The old villagers of Dahe Village thought about it and felt that what Zhou Qing said was right. It would not be illegal to try. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the money for the vegetable planting is also paid by the village chief. If it succeeds, even though he has to pay back the vegetable seedlings.
It's a lot of money, but it's worth it in exchange for a shop in the county. You can't suffer any loss anyway.
After changing my thinking, everyone agreed.
Seeing that no one objected, the smile on Zhou Qing's face became brighter and brighter.
After all, this was the first thing she did after becoming the village chief. Of course, she hoped for a good result and it was also the first step to establish her prestige.
"Since everyone has agreed, let's go and choose a place now. What do they think? Uncle Dajiang, you have experience, so why don't you tell us."
In this regard, Zhou Qing has always believed that professional people do professional things.
When it comes to farming, she is truly a layman.
So I left this matter to Zhang Dajiang to take the lead.
Moreover, Zhou Qing could see that Zhang Dajiang was very respected in the entire Dahe Village. If she had not come, Zhang Dajiang would have been the best candidate for village head.
Therefore, it is the best choice to leave this matter to Zhang Dajiang.
Zhang Dajiang had no intention of declining. He was somewhat interested in what Zhou Qing said and wanted to see if it could really be realized.
"Since the village chief believes in me, then leave this matter to me. Everyone happens to be here now, so why not go and have a look together. I heard the village chief say before that there is a very good piece of land by the Baihe River."
As he said that, he walked in that direction first.
Zhou Qing followed closely behind. Although she didn't understand, it didn't stop her from wanting to learn.
Originally, Zhou Qing would not have too many people following him, but he did not expect that the whole village would follow him.
The fastest runners were naturally the children.
He even ran in front of Zhang Dajiang and squatted on the ground to look around, not knowing what he wanted to see from above.
This is exactly what Zhou Qing wanted, indicating that everyone is quite concerned about this matter.
Finally, according to the number of household registrations, the land was divided into 16 parts, including one in Zhouqing.
We chose a piece of land of nearly 5 acres near the Baihe River to ensure that everyone can work hard without being too tired.
As the only scholar among them, the matter of dividing the land was left to Zhou Qing.
Fortunately, the overall size was already known, and after a simple calculation, the land was divided.
In order to make a distinction, Zhou Qing specially greeted the children in the village, namely several children headed by Shitou and Tiedan.
Ask them to pick up branches and insert them into the ground two by two. The distance between the branches is the size of a patch of ground.
Such a quick division opened the eyes of the people in Dahe Village. Some people who did not believe in evil went to measure it with their own hands and found that every household received almost the same amount.
Because the whole area is close to Baihe River, the fertility is about the same.
"The land has been divided for everyone, and the next step is to pull the weeds. I believe everyone knows this better than me. Clear the land as soon as possible so that we can plant vegetables as soon as possible. Leave the vegetable seeds here for the time being. I will
Distributed to everyone in advance."
Zhou Qing clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. He was very happy to see everyone agreed. Suddenly he saw the children who were following their parents.
An idea came to my mind, "One more thing. Everyone knows that I am a scholar. Although I only have the title of "tongsheng", I can still help the children to learn how to read. If you don't dislike it, you can let the children learn to read with me.
, By the way, girls can also be sent here. From now on, everyone has to take care of the work in the fields, so it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of her."
I was still thinking about clearing up the land I was assigned, but then I heard the village chief Zhou Qing say that he wanted to teach the children in the village how to read.
This can be a good thing. As for the girl he said was also sent over, they just thought they heard it wrong.
After all, in their minds, it is enough for a girl to read any book and know how to work. Only when she is able can she find a good husband.
Suddenly excited, they started asking questions one by one.
"Village Chief, what you said is true. You really want to teach the children how to read."
Although the person who spoke was alone, all the families with children in the village were paying attention, trying to tell from Zhou Qing's face whether what he said was true.
