Chapter 33 Great Thing
There are only three or four sugar mills in Suixi County, and the output is not very large. As for the color and taste, Uncle Ruan Gui thought about it, and it seems that it is not as good as Zhao Liya said, and the color should be the kind that is not too pure.
As for the white sugar, there should be none at all.
After getting brown sugar and brown sugar, it is easy to make white sugar. Zhao Liya made up her mind to do this.
No one else has it, and if it is done, it will definitely make a lot of money.
If she did it alone, she would not dare, but with Zaihu Village joining, she is very relieved.
In the beginning, she would keep the white sugar secret, concealing its origin and transporting it to the provincial capital for sale. While accumulating wealth, at the same time inquire about finding strong and reliable partners.
It is not safe to find one, then find two or three.
Many people are convenient for checks and balances.
And Zaihu Village is her most solid backing.
In a large village with a population of nearly 2,000, I believe that even if it is a wealthy businessman, few people want to provoke it, right?
"Uncle Ruan Gui, we still decided to do this. When the time comes to plant sugar cane, manage sugar cane fields, build sugar mills, and recruit workers to work in the workshops, besides buying a few people, I want to hire people from Zaihu Village. Which land do you think is suitable for us to buy? My brother is the adopted son of my parents, he is a good citizen, and he can buy land freely."
Uncle Ruan Gui saw that they had made up their minds, so he couldn't persuade them anymore, and Zhao Liya said that he would hire people from Zaihu Village, which also moved Uncle Ruan Gui a little bit.
In this way, many difficult people can make some money, which is also a good thing.
The people in Zaihu Village are down-to-earth, and the Zhao family is kind, so it couldn't be better.
"I don't know how much land you plan to buy? The wasteland here is not expensive, about two taels of silver per mu. There is a lot of wasteland near our village."
In this era of Lingnan, it is true that there are fewer people and more land. It is easy to buy land.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other, smiled and said: "We plan to buy five hundred acres first."
"How much!" Uncle Ruan Gui almost didn't sit still.
Zhao Liya: "Five hundred acres, I think since we want to plant, we might as well grow a little more."
If you plant too little, you won’t make money. You still need to grow more to form a scale, at least make more money in advance.
Moreover, the more people are planted and the more people are hired, the deeper the bond with Zaihu Village will be.
Uncle Ruan Gui couldn't help being speechless, and smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, don't blame uncle for being startled. I haven't heard anyone say that I want to buy so many land at once, so don't be surprised."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Uncle, can I buy it?"
"Yes, yes," Uncle Ruan Gui cheered up, "I think it is possible. How about, uncle take you to meet the two patriarchs, Li Zheng, Ruan and Li?"
Since you want to buy land in Zaihu Village, you must of course get the consent of the Zhenghe clan in Zaihu Village.
Zhao Liya readily agreed, "Then thank you Uncle Ruan Gui!"
"Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome, uncle, I have to thank you, ha ha!"
Uncle Zhengli and the two patriarchs in Zaihu Village, as well as the three elders who heard that Lizheng had guests here and invited the two patriarchs to talk and came to join in the fun, were all very happy after hearing what Zhao Liya said.
"Ms. Zhao has a good eye. There are a lot of land around our village, and they are all good. You can grow things as soon as they open!"
"That's right, it's more convenient to grow sugarcane!"
"Miss Zhao, don't worry, since you plan to hire people from our village to work, we will definitely do it well. If anyone is lazy, you don't need to say anything, we will not forgive you."
"right!"
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other and exchanged glances, both of them were relieved.
"Thank you, grandpas, aunts, and uncles. This matter is related to our family's wealth. My father is not feeling well recently. I can't delay this matter, or it will be a waste of time. So my brother and I I just came here. Before I came, my father told me to be thoughtful and thoughtful. Fortunately, all the uncles and uncles were warm-hearted and willing to help me. I have to think carefully. I want to go and see the place now. If It's suitable, I'll go back and tell my father, ask him to come and have a look tomorrow, and we'll settle it, how about it?"
Zhao Liya was very satisfied in her heart, but as the owner, she couldn't let the people in Zaihu Village lead her by the nose and let them do what they said, so she immediately agreed.
She was very talkative at a young age, but after a long time, before she knew it, it was hard to guarantee that these people would not be contemptuous of relying on the old and selling the old, and even turned against her.
Maybe they didn't necessarily have any bad intentions from the beginning, but if they are too soft, can they blame others?
At that time, if I don’t listen and obey, maybe I will make them unhappy and unhappy.
It's not doing anyone any favors.
She wants to make money, and wants to win them over to be with her, but she doesn't want to be divided because of interests.
Therefore, her father must come to show his face about this matter.
When Zhao Liya said this, Li Zhengwai naturally nodded in agreement, saying "It should be!", "It should be like this!" and other words.
Originally, when the two clan elders were happy, they couldn't help but reveal their natures, they were a bit domineering and aggressive, and they opened their mouths, "You don't have to worry about anything, leave it to us!", "We can definitely get things done!" , "Don't worry, we're here!", and now he restrained himself a bit, and didn't say anything more.
The next group of people went to see the place, walked out of the village for about half an hour, and found a large expanse of flat land overgrown with weeds and bushes, mixed with some large or small trees.
In addition, the river that flows through Zaihu Village just flows through here, so it is very convenient to divert water for irrigation.
The wilderness in the south is particularly luxuriant. It is not a small project to clean up all these. Zhao Liya's scalp felt numb for a while.
Fortunately, the terrain is flat, which saves some trouble.
Zhao Liya walked around, she and Hu Ling were very satisfied, but they also said that she didn't understand, so her father had to come and see it.
All of a sudden, the villagers of Zaihu Village suddenly became nervous, and they smiled and said countless good things politely.
Such a big project, who wouldn't want to land it on their own land?
Falling on your own territory, the benefits are visible!
When Zhao Liya and Hu led back, Uncle Ruan Gui's father and son and Li Zheng's eldest grandson Li Guangqing wanted to send them back in person, even using the ox cart of Li Zheng's family.
Knowing that Zhao Liya wanted sweet potato vines and tomatoes, Li Zheng ordered casually, and after a while, many people sent them.
The result is a basket full of tomatoes and several bundles of sweet potato vines.
Lizheng also said: "If it's not enough, there are more!"
