Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around
Chapter 232 Mobilization Meeting
The villagers didn't react much to the other two things, but when they heard that a charcoal factory was going to be opened to burn charcoal, there was an uproar. "Village chief, opening a charcoal factory is a good thing, but not just anyone can open one. Burning charcoal requires skills. If it were that easy to open a charcoal factory, everyone would be burning charcoal and we would have become rich long ago."
"Everyone is right. A charcoal factory can't be opened just like that, and charcoal can't be produced by just anyone who can burn it."
Since I was able to bring up the idea of burning charcoal, I was prepared.
In April, she learned the technique of charcoal making and planned to pass it on to the village, leading everyone to prosperity through charcoal production.
The villagers fell silent for a moment, then erupted in commotion. "Village chief, is this for real? Are you really going to lead us to make money by burning charcoal in April?"
"Of course it's true. As the village chief, how could I just make empty promises?"
We've already discussed the profits from opening the charcoal plant. We'll give 20% of the profits to April. She'll provide us with methods and technology, and she'll also help us find sales channels. It's not a large amount of profit for us to give her.
Liu Youtian, Liu Fusheng, and I, Liu Jinsheng, will each invest five taels of silver in the charcoal factory, holding half of the shares. Shi Tou and Liu Mancang will be responsible for the sale of charcoal, while I will be responsible for managing the charcoal factory.
The remaining 65% share, with the village collective holding 15%, will be used as the village's reserve fund. In the future, if there is any emergency in the village or if any activities are organized, the village can contribute funds from it.
The remaining 50% of the profits will be distributed among all the participating villagers.
"Great, great, this is wonderful! We want to make charcoal! We want to make charcoal! We want to earn money! We want to earn money!"
The place was bustling with noise and jubilation. They all saw kilns of charcoal being fired and handfuls of silver being collected. The village chief couldn't contain his excitement and shouted with joy. He banged his gong loudly.
"Everyone, quiet down. Not everyone can do charcoal burning. We've divided the work according to the villagers' circumstances, so that the right people can do the right things. This way, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort and improve efficiency."
The list will be released soon. Please don't say that I'm discriminating against anyone; this decision was made after careful consideration.
Let me give you an example first, and you can see if it makes sense.
"Liang Dayong, come out here."
Liang Dayong stood at the very front; he was tall and strong, with a simple and honest face.
"Look at Liang Dayong, he's tall and strong, as strong as an ox. No matter what you say to him, he won't understand. If you ask him to fire a kiln, won't he ruin every single one? Wouldn't everyone's work be for nothing?"
But he's strong! Let him build earthen walls; it doesn't require any brains, he's as good as two people, it's making the best use of his talents and resources.
"The village chief is right. We'll do whatever you ask us to do without complaint, as long as it lets us earn money."
"Don't worry, everyone. As long as you work for the village, you'll get paid in the future."
"Okay, okay, thank you village chief, thank you April."
"Village chief, hurry up and assign tasks! Let's get started now; we can't afford to miss out on earning money."
The village chief took out two sheets of paper, one listing the candidates for charcoal burners and the other for earthen wall builders, and read them aloud one by one.
"After the earthen walls are built, Liu Baozhu will be in charge, and I will personally be in charge of the charcoal factory."
Fellow villagers, this job that earns money is hard-won, so we must cherish it and work together to make it better. I believe that with everyone's efforts, our Liujia Village will become better, and every family will be able to eat white rice and everyone will be able to wear new clothes.
"The boys and girls of our Liujia Village will never have to worry about not finding wives or marrying into good families."
"The village chief is right. If we work hard, no man in Liujia Village will be unable to find a wife. Anyone who wants to marry a girl from our village should think twice about whether they have the means."
The villagers' faces were all smiles, looking forward to that day coming soon.
Liu Siyue couldn't help but give the village chief a thumbs up. The mobilization work was quite successful. The villagers were short-sighted and needed a good leader to guide them forward.
The village chief continued, "What I'm about to say is extremely important, it concerns everyone's future, so everyone must keep it strictly confidential and never leak it."
The charcoal-making technique in our village must never be leaked. If anyone dares to betray us and leak this information, or colludes with outsiders to come to the village to steal our skills and cause trouble, they will be severely punished.
Not only will they be subject to punishment according to clan and village rules, but they will also be handed over to the authorities.
Everyone should think carefully about what the consequences would be if outsiders learned this trick.
The villagers were all pondering this problem when suddenly someone shouted, "The more people burn charcoal, the more people sell charcoal, and then we won't be able to sell the charcoal we burn."
In order to sell their charcoal, everyone would keep lowering the price, and in the end, they wouldn't make any money and would have worked for nothing.
"Well said, that's exactly the point. Do you all understand?"
"Don't worry, village chief, we will never leak this secret. If my wife dares to tell her family about this, I'll break her legs and sew her mouth shut."
"Village chief, we can keep our mouths shut, but what about those five families in the village?"
"Since they live in the village, they must abide by the village rules. If they don't, they should get out of the village. Our village cannot tolerate traitors."
"I've covered everything. Does anyone have any questions? If not, let's call it a day. Go home and prepare yourselves. We'll start work tomorrow."
"Village chief, we're going to make charcoal tomorrow. What tools do we need? When are we going? Where are we going?"
"Yes, village chief, how do we build the earthen wall? Where do we build it? What shape does it look like? You have to tell us!"
Liu Jinsheng slapped his forehead. "Oh dear, I forgot such an important thing. Luckily you reminded me. Tomorrow, all those who are burning charcoal should bring their machetes, hoes, and shovels. Meet at the foot of the mountain. Liu Youtian and Liu Fusheng will lead you. Just follow their instructions."
I'll personally talk to you about building the earthen wall tomorrow; bring your tools.
Does anyone have any further questions?
"That's all, that's all."
As the villagers gradually dispersed, Liu Jinsheng swallowed hard, feeling like his throat was on fire.
When Liu Dawang heard that he hadn't been assigned any work, he was a little unhappy. He wasn't stupid, and he was strong, so why wasn't he being assigned any work?
When they got home, Madam Feng noticed that Liu Dawang seemed unhappy, so she quickly asked, "Husband, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"Everyone else in the village got assigned work, but I didn't get any. How can I be happy about that?"
This is village collective work, and the village chief is treating me differently. What will the villagers think of me? They'll say that just because my family has a little money, I don't have to work and can just enjoy the village's share for free.
Liu Siyue, who had just entered the door, couldn't help but laugh when she heard her second uncle's words. Her second uncle was really honest and kind-hearted. "Second Uncle, what are you thinking? Why wouldn't the village chief assign you work? Maybe he has other plans for you!"
"All the work has been assigned. If he had other plans for me, why didn't he say so at the meeting? Even if I don't know how to make charcoal, I could still work on building mud walls!"
"Second Uncle, don't overthink it. Just wait. The village chief will definitely be coming to our house soon. You can ask him then."
"Yeah, stop daydreaming. There's no work for you to do yet."
