Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 225: The Last Name of the Refugee Camp
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded in agreement, but said, "Boss, the grain in the grain store is not enough to sell now. Do you want to increase the sales of grain?"
Jiang Chuyue had just looked at the situation at the grain store and knew that Manager Zhang's concerns were not unreasonable. "We'll make a decision after checking the register."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "There are more and more refugees fleeing from other places. Have you ever personally visited the refugee camp to see the situation there?"
"Boss, don't worry about that. Manager Zhou goes to the refugee camp every two or three days. He originally planned to find an opportunity to explain the situation in the refugee camp to you, but he didn't expect you to come suddenly. This is just a coincidence. He just went to the refugee camp yesterday and should be back today."
Shopkeeper Wu has now become the backbone among the shopkeepers, and he makes the decisions on many matters.
Jiang Chuyue also knew that he did have some ability and could suppress these shopkeepers.
"Okay, let's wait until Manager Zhou comes back."
"But, boss, the number of refugees is increasing. If things get really chaotic later, the situation will only become less optimistic." Shopkeeper Wu was really worried.
Jiang Chuyue's business practices seem a little hard to understand. People say she doesn't care about money, but when it comes to making money, she doesn't hesitate to spend a penny. Yet, the price of grain has been kept very low.
It would be fine if it was just low-income, but they also allocated a large amount of food every day just to ensure that the people in the refugee camps could have something to eat every day.
But if you say that she did good deeds for fame, not many people know that the reason behind the grain shop's donation was because of Jiang Chuyue, the owner who was willing to spend money on grain.
Because he was uncertain, Manager Wu didn't know the upper limit of the food he could mobilize for the refugee camp.
"Manager Wu, if you have something to say, please say it clearly. We are a family and have been working together for such a long time. There is really no need to play these guessing games." Jiang Chuyue was already having a headache because of all the distractions. She really didn't want to beat around the bush when talking to the managers.
"Since the boss has said so, I'll have a few more words to say." Seeing that Jiang Chuyue was not unhappy, Shopkeeper Wu carefully spoke his heartfelt words.
"There are too many people in the refugee camps. Giving them food is only a temporary solution. If we want them to survive, we need to give them something to do and let them earn money. Otherwise, if it continues like this, some people might just get used to it."
Although what Shopkeeper Wu said was not pleasant to hear, it was the truth.
They can give alms now, but they cannot do so for the rest of their lives. Refugees fleeing famine still have to support themselves.
"Is there any place in the town or county to arrange for them to work?" Jiang Chuyue had thought about this, but she was too busy to have time to consider it in such detail.
Fortunately, several shopkeepers could remind her from time to time.
"I've inquired about it. It's hard for ordinary people to have enough food to eat nowadays, let alone find jobs." Shopkeeper Wu had not proposed a solution to the problem to Jiang Chuyue.
"I heard that there is always a shortage of people in the iron mine, and people can have a full meal every day at the iron mine. If possible, why not let them go to work at the iron mine?" Shopkeeper Wen at the side suddenly thought of such a place.
Before Jiang Chuyue could express her opinion, it was rejected by Manager Zhang.
"Most of these people who have fled famine are the elderly, the weak, women and children. It is really inappropriate for them to go to the mine. Besides, I heard something and I don't know if I should tell you."
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is nothing inappropriate to say." Jiang Chuyue supported her chin tiredly, her sleepy eyes full of bloodshot.
"I heard that the mine used to settle wages every day, but now it has been in arrears for several days, and the meals in the mine are not as good as before." Manager Zhang's words made the other managers silent.
It is now obvious that the iron mine is the industry of Shuiyun Pavilion. After all, even the county magistrate is from Shuiyun Pavilion.
They have delayed the business negotiations with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion for quite some time, and have also ripped off Shuiyun Pavilion for a huge sum of money. If they really make a fuss about it, the situation of the people in the mine may be more or less related to them.
With just one glance, Jiang Chuyue knew what they were thinking.
He waved his hand and said, "If you really put all the blame on yourselves, then you will really help the people of Shuiyun Pavilion achieve their goal."
"What does Boss Jiang mean by this?" Shopkeeper Wen asked subconsciously.
Although they asked, both of them already had the answer in their hearts.
"Literally." Information about the iron mine has always been kept secret from the outside world. Not many people even know that there is an iron mine in a mountain outside the town.
The county magistrate and the people from Shuiyun Pavilion had kept the matter secret before, but now they easily let people know the situation at the iron mine. It was obvious that they deliberately let Jiang Chuyue know.
"It seems that I thought too simply." Shopkeeper Zhang's face did not look good. They were old foxes who had been doing business for many years, but they almost fell because of a moment of weakness.
"It's not that you think it's too simple, but the people in Shuiyun Pavilion have too many tricks." Jiang Chuyue did not blame Manager Zhang.
"But it's obviously not possible to work in the iron mine." Jiang Chuyue covered her face with her hands and yawned. "I do have an idea. Since these people have nowhere to go, why not ask them to farm for me."
"Farming?" The shopkeepers obviously didn't expect Jiang Chuyue to come up with such an idea. They were all dumbfounded.
"But with natural disasters rampant now, the harvest is extremely poor. Even if they work hard, they won't be able to grow much food. We have spent time and energy, but in the end, we may lose everything."
Manager Wu’s concerns were not without reason. Jiang Chuyue did have some money, but there were simply too many people in the refugee camp.
If they really did that, they would lose everything before the crops in the fields matured.
"I've thought about this. As long as there is water, the crops can be grown." Jiang Chuyue knew that Shopkeeper Wu didn't know the cards she had, so it was normal for him to be so worried.
Manager Zhang, who was quick-witted, suddenly thought of what he had seen during his visit to Wanshan Village. "I remember that it was Boss Jiang's hometown. The crops in Wanshan Village seemed to be growing very well."
"That's right." When Jiang Chuyue talked about Wanshan Village, there was a little more expression on her face.
“Since Wanshan Village can grow good crops, it proves that other places can do it too.” It took Jiang Chuyue a lot of effort and energy to make the lives of all the villagers in Wanshan Village gradually better.
In the past, she was alone and could only do so much, but now she has more and more people under her, which means she can do more things.
