"Then I'll wait for them to finish speaking." Lu Yong did not bother Lu Qianqian and the others.

Seeing that Lu Yong had something to talk about with Qian Qian, Mrs. Lu wiped her hands and said, "The two girls must be talking about something recent. I don't know how long they will stop talking. Brother Yong, wait for me to go and show you."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll just wait a while."

But before Lu Yong could finish his words, Old Lady Lu had already walked over.

At this time, Lu Qianqian and Shen Yalan were discussing cooperation with the Chen family in the study.

"The Chen family originally wanted only 40% of the share, but I gave them 50%. The Chen family's caravan still has a lot of advantages for us. Their caravans are already familiar with the routes to other countries, and their safety is also guaranteed. We only provide goods, so we still have to give them certain benefits." Shen Yalan explained.

"Your decision is good. Although the Chen family proposed to cooperate with us first, if we give them too little, they will not cooperate sincerely in the future."

"Qianqian, are you guys done talking?"

Old Mrs. Lu's voice came from outside.

Lu Qianqian and Shen Yalan looked at each other, and Lu Qianqian got up and opened the door of the study.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Your village chief wants to see you about something, go over and take a look." Old Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Qianqian and Shen Yalan had nothing else to discuss, "Yalan, the business matters are the same as we said at the beginning, you decide, I'll be responsible for the goods."

"it is good."

Seeing that Lu Qianqian had other things to do, Shen Yalan took Ming Yu and said goodbye first, and said something to Lu Qianqian when she left.

"The price of the round fan and handkerchief has been negotiated. The round fan is thirty taels each, and the handkerchief is five taels each. Just provide them once a month."

Mrs. Lu, who was standing by, was shocked when she heard Shen Yalan say this, "Yalan girl, just a fan costs thirty taels?"

Old Mrs. Lu knew that the embroidery room had embroidered a lot of round fans and handkerchiefs in the past few days. How much silver did all these cost in total?

Shen Yalan smiled and said, "Aunt, this was sent to the palace, so its value is much higher. If it were ordinary, it wouldn't be that high."

Old Mrs. Lu sighed a little. It turned out that the richest people were indeed the most noble ones.

Lu Qianqian and Shen Yalan came to the main house together. Shen Yalan said hello to Old Man Lu and Lu Yong, then left with Mingyu.

"Uncle village chief, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lu Qianqian asked when she saw Lu Yong.

Lu Yong felt a little embarrassed and didn't know where to start.

Lu Qianqian looked at the village chief uncle and looked at her father in confusion.

Old Man Lu was also a little puzzled. What happened to Lu Yong? "Brother Yong, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Qianqian is also your niece. There is nothing you can't say."

"Yes, Brother Yong, you watched Qianqian grow up. We are all family, so there is nothing you can't say to her." Old Mrs. Lu also said.

Hearing what Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu said, Lu Yong took a deep breath and looked at Lu Qianqian.

"Qianqian, I, your uncle Yong, am the village chief of Xinghua Village. Many things must be considered in the interests of the village."

"Yeah!" Lu Qianqian nodded. The village chief uncle was very dedicated to Xinghua Village, and the villagers also trusted him.

"The work you provide in the village now has already provided a good income for many families, but there are still some families who have no work. I also know that you only need these people. I am not saying that you must help the villagers. I thought about it and wondered if you could do it like those landlords do, and let them help you grow things. This way, they can also earn more."

Lu Yong had no choice. The monthly wages of the people working in Lu Qianqian's house could allow the family to live a good life for several months. As long as they worked hard and didn't cause any trouble, there would be no problem for them to live a comfortable life.

But there are only a few people working for Lu Qianqian, and many of them have no skills. Their families were not selected by Lu Qianqian, and they still rely on the little food from their own fields, and their lives are very tight.

That's why Lu Yong came to Lu Qianqian today to discuss this matter and see if there is any good solution.

Lu Qianqian also understood what the village chief meant, which was to plant some plants for those families in the village who had no income, and then hand them over to her when the harvest comes, and she will pay some wages.

Lu Qianqian could accept this suggestion. After all, their family was the richest in the village. People who came to work for them and received generous wages would definitely not have any thoughts. However, those families who were still very poor and could not get enough food would definitely have more thoughts in their minds.

Honest people are not afraid of having any bad intentions.

But for those who have evil intentions, that’s not necessarily the case. For example, when Lu Qianqian meets someone like Mrs. Fan, they don’t care about your identity at all and will just cheat when it’s time to do so.

Not only that, Lu Qianqian grew up in the village. Even if she was conferred the title of county lady by the emperor, the villagers would not think that anything had changed. They would still feel that Lu Qianqian grew up in front of them, and no matter how high her status became, she was still their junior.

"Uncle village chief, let me put it this way. I understand what you mean. I want to grow some things here, but I don't have enough land and manpower at home. I can grow them for the villagers, but they have to sign a contract with me. You know, I cherish these things in my hands. If the people who grow them don't give them to me in the end, I will suffer a serious loss."

Lu Qianqian was willing to give face to the village chief, but she also had to make things clear, otherwise it would not be good to end up in an unhappy situation.

Hearing Lu Qianqian's agreement, Lu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's for sure. If they agree to plant something, I'll make them sign a contract with you."

"Okay, then Uncle Village Chief, please count how many households want to plant so I can prepare."

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. I'll come back after I've registered."

After saying that, Lu Yong left in a hurry. This kind of good thing needs to be implemented quickly.

Mrs. Lu waited until Lu Yong left before she said reluctantly, "My daughter, even if you agree, some people in the village are not good. Don't let them not give you the things you provided."

It’s not that Old Lady Lu is unwilling to help the villagers, but there are so many people, and who knows what each of them is thinking. What if some people grow the crops and sell them to others, then her daughter would suffer.

"Mom, don't worry. Anyone who wants to grow crops with me must sign a contract with me, and I won't give them the crops for free. If they don't give me the crops after they mature, it will only be a matter of one season, and I won't cooperate with them in the future."
