Chapter 76 The County Prince’s Plan
Xichun was happily preparing the chili peppers. They didn't have enough manpower now, so Xichun found someone to help. Finally, they made the quantity required by Boss Zeng within ten days.

"Huh, these ten days have gone by in a row, and I have been buying peppers and oil. I think it would be great if we opened an oil pressing mill in our village." Aunt Zhang and the others came to help after closing the stall every day, so they just came here now Will sigh.

"Our village does not have the advantage of water level, so it will only cost more manpower. As long as we cooperate well, we can negotiate a more suitable price." There was no electricity at this time, so it was naturally not a mechanical operation. Other villages and towns naturally found that through The difference in water level would be more troublesome than manpower, so a hydraulic oil press and mill were built.

Therefore, as long as people are diligent and smart, and there is no unimaginable idea, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

But now the chili oil business has taken another step forward. In addition, Zhou Xiaoxue suddenly felt dizzy while working yesterday. After seeing it, the doctor said that she was pregnant and needed to recuperate. After that, Xichun planned to move the chili oil production site back to Taoyuan. village.

Taoyuan Village has more cheap manpower, and confidentiality is better than in the city. This small rented courtyard can be used as a small warehouse, and transactions of usually small orders can be completed here.

If we meet such a big customer again, we can directly process it in the village and then transport it to the city. Firstly, it covers a larger area, which is more conducive to maintaining quality and quantity. Secondly, the fumes from the chili oil production process are also eliminated. It's heavy, and the neighbors are not happy either.

So Xichun found Qiangzi and Zhou Xiaoxue and told them his plan. After moving back to the village, Xichun decided to make Zhou Xiaoxue the main supervisor. He was usually very strict. And this time I have been working with him for a long time, and I am more familiar with the entire production process.

"I think this is good. The neighbors around here have come here and said it several times before. The smell of the chili oil we make is too strong, which affects them. Moreover, it has been very busy in the past few days, and people have been coming in and out. Yes, it’s a little noisy.”

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxue agreed with both hands. Qiangzi also felt that moving to the village did have some benefits, but if they stayed in the city and didn't have to continue making chili oil, they would still have to reduce their wages.

"Xichun, we don't make chili oil anymore, so I'd better reduce the wages. The wages are too high now, and buying other materials is also a waste of money. Our work is now much easier, and we can save as much as we can Save it.”

"Brother Qiangzi, how can this be done? You will have to run in both directions from now on, and I'm afraid you will be even more tired. In addition, my sister-in-law will have to go back to the village to keep an eye on production, so your wages will only go up, not down.

You are the main force in my production and sales of chili peppers. In the future, I will recruit people, that is, the two biggest managers besides me, one is in charge of production and the other is in charge of sales. As long as you work hard, the business will only be bigger in the future, and the children will be born. If you get it, you can send him to school to learn more knowledge, and you can also buy more land and farm it for others, so you don't have to worry about running out of food. "

"Xichun, I think you are right. Now that we have a child, we must also consider his future. If we can have better conditions, he will not have to live in the fields all his life like us and our elders. Even if you don’t make a lot of money from working, you can go to an academy like Master Fu and be like these kids in the city.”

Zhou Xiaoxue, who had a child, could better understand what Xi Chun meant. She had already made up her mind to follow Xi Chun in the future. Within a few years, she would be able to make money and buy a house in the city.

"Yes, we will follow Xichun. We will do whatever you say. We are all the people you brought out. If it weren't for Xichun, we wouldn't be where we are today." Qiangzi also agreed.

"Okay, it's settled then. Brother Qiangzi, you'll have to work harder from now on, running on both sides. I won't treat you badly, and your wages will be doubled as before." Xichun made the final decision.She has unlimited hope, and the same goes for Chen Xique. This pregnancy is finally settled. She must make a good plan to get her mother's family to stand up, so that she can have some help, and the master also I will no longer listen to others and send her to her hometown.

"Master, this year is your three-year period. As long as you establish a good relationship with Shangfeng, you can work as an official in a wealthier county or some small state capital. My subordinates have already inquired about it. The magistrate of the Ming Dynasty and Jiannan Farewell will be able to operate well." The master reported the news he had learned one by one.

"Very good. I am currently only a seventh-grade official in a lower-level county. If I can be promoted to one or half a level, it will be worth it. You must do your best this time. If you can go to Fucheng or other wealthy places That would be even better.”

"But sir, this operation requires a lot of money. Judging from the amount we have accumulated now, it is still not enough. My subordinates have inquired and they need at least this amount." The master gestured with his fingers, and the county magistrate looked at it. It was twenty million taels of silver. He had only saved 5000 taels, and he was still short of [-]. Where did this money come from? He frowned.

"In what happened before, those wealthy families were too careful, and they had to distribute it to those people. Now there are only about 1 taels left. Where should the remaining [-] taels come from?"

"Sir, the previous strategy can no longer be used again. I see that I can only think of other ways. I have been studying several families in the city in the past few years and have some ideas. Several of them are seeking The protective family has declined in Fucheng, so they are our dinner."

The two of them smiled tacitly and both had an idea. However, they still needed to find someone willing to do this dirty thing to frame him. Otherwise, if there was no legitimate reason, it would be bad to ruin his official reputation. .

"Sir, I have thought of a few people. I think they will definitely work for the county magistrate." The master rolled his eyes and thought of a suitable scapegoat.

Chen Xique is doing needlework. She wants to make more clothes for her unborn child. Her son will also be an official in the future, so her status will naturally be higher.

"Auntie, the master is here to see you." The maid's voice came, and Chen Xique stood up excitedly thinking that the master was coming.

"Hurry up, sit down, sit down, you are heavy now, these things will be arranged by your servants, why do you need to do it yourself?" The county magistrate looked like he was easy to talk, and took Chen Xique's hand and said distressedly.

"Why are you here, sir? Do you want to have dinner in my room tonight?"

"Naturally, naturally, hey, because the three-year assessment period is coming, I don't have much time to see you recently. I heard you said before that you didn't want to go to your hometown and wanted to raise your baby here peacefully. I also thought about not going to see you by then. If you go to a place that is too remote, it will be troublesome to give gifts to Shangfeng. Hey, let’s not talk about it anymore, I’m so worried.”
