The days in the five villages in the south of the Yangtze River are not hard, although the daily coarse tea and light meal, but there are spring, summer, autumn and winter to take care of, and the life is much more comfortable than before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info She stood under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, staring at the black dots flying away from the sea in the distance. Hopefully, hopefully, when he receives this letter, he will still remember the promise he made when he left.

"Miss Yan, you summoned us, but what do you have to announce?" Most of the villagers below were talking in a low voice, and Xu Manxiu was also below, looking at her standing on the platform in a daze, and did not show any conspicuous expression.

"Today, what I want to talk about is about the future of our five villages in Jiangnan. ”

"In the future?" said the people below one after another, "What future? or the future of our five villages?"

"There are a total of ten villages in Jiangnan, but to be honest, five villages can only be ranked last. After she finished speaking, there was an immediate sigh below, and her eyes were still looking at them firmly, "Although this is not a good word, I believe everyone understands it in their hearts." ”

Everyone lowered their heads and looked around, every household in the five villages in the south of the Yangtze River was engaged in farming, and they were probably self-sufficient, and their daily vegetables and meals were grown by themselves, and no one was willing to go to other villages to buy things.

"Miss Yan, our village has been like this for hundreds of years, and the big guys don't all live well, what's the problem?"

"That's it!" the villagers didn't want to hear her continue, and some of them had even gone back to their homes to go back to their work.

Xu Manxiu suddenly stood on it at this time, and said loudly, "Big guy, listen to me a few words!"

"Xu Xiucai, why did Xu Xiucai stand up?" the villagers muttered quietly, their eyes glancing at the two from time to time. Yan Song also looked at Xu Manxiu beside him, at this time, could it be that he still wanted to make trouble?

"Since everyone thinks it's right, why don't you just listen to what this little girl wants to say?" Xu Manxiu raised his eyes and motioned for her to continue, and his body stepped back again.

Although Yan Song was incredulous for a while, he immediately returned to the state of Fang Cai, "In fact, the materials of the five villages in the south of the Yangtze River are not the worst compared to other villages, just like the three villages, the land of the three villages is seriously compacted, but the three villages are the richest villages in the south of the Yangtze River, why is this?"

"That's not easy! The three villages are the key villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally there are many people who come and go, most of them are businessmen, and money is naturally indispensable!"

"That's it! Where are there people farming in that village! There are all traders, selling jade, calligraphy and painting all over the street, we can't compare!"

"Why can't it be compared?!" The light in Yan Song's eyes was like the sun on the big banyan tree in spring, as if it had shone into someone's heart, but he immediately closed the window.

"Why can't we do what the three villages can do?" Yan Song carefully stepped down from the platform and slowly walked into the crowd, "Uncle Li's crops can't be eaten every year when they are harvested, and most of them rot on their own in the fields; Aunt Chen's family has four acres of fertile land, but only that one acre of land is actually cultivated; Uncle Zhou's family has been in the carpenter business for generations, but it is limited to repairing houses for the villagers of the five villages. I believe that everyone in Wucun has their own ability, but now we can't carry it forward. ”

Some of the remaining villagers had their heads down, while others didn't listen at all and turned away. Most of them know this, but their lives are already able to go on with their own lives, and who wants to take more risks to try new things?

"Since you said that, do you already have a well-thought-out plan?" she turned around, and Xu Manxiu looked at her curiously.

Yan Song cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I have an idea. Traditionally, caravans have come from the west, bypassing the three villages and seven villages, and finally rushed to the jade capital, this time, we may be able to invite the caravan to come to our five villages first. ”

"This caravan's itinerary is the same every year, how can you convince the caravan to come to our five villages first?" someone asked below.

"First, the caravan will come to Huacheng first every year, and we can discuss with the leader of the caravan in Huacheng first, and take out the strength of the five villages; ”

"That Yan girl, how to show the advantages of our flower city?"

"When I was a child, I heard a saying that businessmen used to say, "Knowing the land wins, and choosing the place to make money. It means that before we want to show it to others, we must first clearly understand what are the advantages of the five villages over the three villages, and what is unique to this land?"

"Exclusive?" muttered a dozen or so people at the bottom, "I think it's only closer to Flower City." But what kind of advantage is that?"

"That's the crucial point. Yan Song pointed in the direction of the three villages and said, "Why would the caravan choose that bumpy mountain road to go to the three villages instead of passing through the five villages?

Xu Manxiu said very clearly, "Because they didn't know that another mountain road led to Wucun at all, they only knew that the previous caravans followed that road, so they went uphill to that mountain road without any consideration." ”

The corners of Yan Song's mouth raised slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, "What Xu Gongzi said is right, indeed, that's because they don't know that there is a place in the five villages of Jiangnan. But if they arrive at Wucun first, then the remaining crops of Uncle Li's family, the remaining land of Aunt Chen's family, and even the handicrafts that Uncle Zhou made when he was bored on weekdays could be solved. ”

Although Yan Song explained all this, none of the villagers below thought of transferring their fields or making the remaining food into something else to sell as a commodity, and most of the villagers had followed the rules for so many years, and they couldn't overcome the hurdle in their hearts to try a little girl's advice.

In the audience, only Xu Manxiu supported coldly, "The little girl is finished, do you have any opinions?"

"It's okay, let me say a few words, although I'm a literati and don't understand what these businessmen think, but Wucun really can't continue like this. Everyone likes to call me Xu Xiucai because I am a literate person in Wucun...... But if the five villages can really become rich, everyone's children will be able to afford to go to private schools, recognize words, and speak poetry and songs like other villages. ”

Yan Song looked at everyone's still puzzled eyes, and then said, "I remember that the children of Uncle Zhou's family often like to stick to Xu Gongzi and pester him to teach her to read. But Xu Gongzi is only one person, and he can't teach all the children to read. Let's think about it, if the five villages are really rich, everyone's children can also start studying, and even say that they may be able to participate in the imperial examination and become officials in the court one day, wouldn't it be a glorious thing for the lintel?"

"Daddy, I also want to be like Brother Manxiu, I can understand those words that you can't understand, and I also say some words and phrases in my mouth from time to time, it sounds really amazing!" Uncle Zhou's child whispered in his father's ear, and then ran to Xu Manxiu's side and pulled the corner of his clothes.
