Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since Grandaunt Yang was Chief Yangs cousin, the villagers highly regarded her. Chief Yang was happy to see his cousin and greeted her warmly. He was also shocked when he saw Doctor Yang.
Doctor Yang told Chief Yang that her husband had saved her from the fall last time. She also told him that she had become a doctor in Teng County.
Chief Yang was happy for his grandniece. After exchanging pleasantries, Grandaunt Yang told her cousin their purpose for visiting him. She also emphasized Su Binglan’s plans for the village.
Chief Yangs eyes widened when he heard about the factory. The news was so impactful that he could barely comprehend it. He asked in a trembling voice, “Is that true, cousin?”
Grandaunt Yang understood Chief Yangs feelings. After all, she reacted similarly when she first heard the news. She was excited and in disbelief. too.
The old woman smiled and said, “Why would 1 lie to you? Of course, it’s true. Miss Su wants to help us, and Ge l er can testify to this.”
Doctor Yang had grown up in Yang Village, so everyone would trust her. She said, “It’s true, Granduncle. I live in Su Teng Village now, and I’ve seen the many shops and factories Miss Su has built there.
“She has changed the lives of many, and the village is prosperous now. Miss Su even invented the tofu you see in the shop in town. I can assure you that Miss Su is the real deal.
“Also, she has established a medical school in Su Teng Village. I’m now a teacher there. Everything Miss Su does is beneficial. She even opened a winery and taught her family how to make many dishes like roast duck and braised chicken.’
Doctor Yang felt like she could not finish listing everything Su Binglan had done for Su Teng Village. She realized Su Binglan had done countless things to help people.
Even Grandaunt Yang was shocked. She never knew Su Binglan had done that many things and helped that many people.
Chief Yang said, “I’ve heard about the changes in Tenghe County. The braised food shop, tofu shop, and accessories shops in our town also belong to the Su family.
“The townsfolk always talk about how warm the down jackets and duvets from the accessories shop are. Those products belong to the Su family from Su
Teng Village. ”
Because the old man was the village chief, he knew more about the Su family than the villagers. He excitedly approached Su Binglan and asked, “Miss Su, are you really planning to build a medicinal herb factory here?”
Su Binglan smiled, “That’s right, but I think I’ll need your help.”
Chief Yang replied, “That’s fantastic. You’ll be helping the villagers a lot, Miss Su. Don’t hesitate to ask for my help. I’ll do my best to organize the villagers to assist you.
“However, I wonder if my elder cousin has told you about the situation here.” Chief Yang was a little worried. Since Su Binglan was a kind person, he wanted to ensure she knew everything before taking action.
Su Binglan said, “Madam Yang told me everything. Don’t worry, Chief Yang. This place will only improve.”
“All right, I understand.” Chief Yang was a carefree man. As a village chief, he hoped the villagers’ living conditions would only improve. At the very least, he wanted them to eat their fill and wear warm clothes.
Su Binglan added, “I’d like to discuss the specifics of building the factory,
Chief Yang. ”
“Okay, please take a seat, Miss Su,” Chief Yang then looked at his wife and
said, “Dear, please get Miss Su and our guests some water.”
His wife was still in shock upon hearing Su Binglan’s words. She only returned to her senses after hearing her husband’s voice.
As Su Wenxiu and the others sat at the table, Su Binglan told the village chief her plans. The more Chief Yang and Yang Cheng listened, the more excited they became.
Su Binglan told them that she would not only purchase their medicinal herbs but she would also process and produce them into essential pills for colds, headaches, or fevers.
Since Yang Village had many herbs and even spices, Su Binglan could use the raw materials to make skincare products. However, she had to focus on one factory at a time.
Thus, she planned to build two factories and a massive warehouse. She would then use the warehouse to store as many medicinal herbs as possible.
In addition to hiring the villagers as her employees, Su Binglan also arranged for guards to protect the warehouse. The employees would then transport the herbs to Su Teng Village regularly.
She had already planned everything before arriving in Yang County. When she told Chief Yang her plans, he could only look at her in amazement. That was because Su Binglan had considered every detail of the herb factory.
“Does that mean we need to hire workers to build the factory, Miss Su?” Chief Yang asked.
“That’s right. Here’s the land deed I have. We’ll build the factory between the village and the town. It’ll be more convenient for everyone to travel to and from town once this place prospers.
“l also plan to hire those from surrounding villages to repair the roads. The construction and repairs will only cost sixty copper per person, but they will earn daily.”
That amount of money was significant to the villagers. They could earn a lot just by working for a few days. That way, every household could save up their earnings.
It was much more than what they earned by painstakingly picking medicinal herbs.
Su Binglan’s words moved Chief Yang. Su Binglan wanted to build the factory for the villagers, so she naturally asked for the villagers’ help.
However, no one expected Su Binglan to pay everyone daily. Soon enough, everyone would feel motivated to work.
“Fret not, Miss Su. I’ll talk to the people in our neighboring villages and relay your requests to them,” Chief Yang said smilingly.
Many people lived around here, but they had grown accustomed to staying in their respective villages. That was why the county looked so empty.
Su Binglan then showed Chief Yang her blueprints. “Here are the blueprints. You can get the construction workers to form a team and start building the factory according to my designs..”
