"If you want to make money, you have to be bold, right? What future can you achieve if you are timid and fearful?" Wang Jinhe said directly.
Nan Qiao nodded in agreement: "Sister-in-law is right."
"Let's go back."
"Sister-in-law, no matter how much the people in Shangjia Village regret it, don't bother with them anymore." Shang Wen actually suspected his sister-in-law. He was really unreasonable.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
After the village chief sent Wang Jinhe away, he took the gong and started beating it everywhere.
The villagers heard the noise and came out to the dam in the village. Someone asked, "Village head, what do you want us to do?"
"Of course there is something wrong, but it's a very good thing."

"The princess just came. She is the princess who grew high-yield grain."
The villagers were excited when they heard this: "Village Chief, is this true? Did the princess really come to our place? Is she here for something?"
"Yes, village chief, is this a good thing?"
"Of course there is. The princess came to talk about three things. The first thing is that we can open up wasteland. The emperor is kind enough to give us three years of tax exemption. We don't have to pay taxes for three years. The second thing is that the princess asked us if we would like to help her grow some fruit. After we grow the fruit, she will come to harvest it. We will plant whatever fruit trees the princess gives us. The third thing is about planting cotton."
"Grow cotton?" The villagers looked at each other in confusion. The yield of cotton was so low.
"I know what everyone thinks. They think the cotton yield is very low and no one wants to waste time on cotton. However, the princess said that she has improved the planting method and has been planting on her fiefdom for two or three years. The yield per mu is about 700 kilograms. Even if the wasteland we just opened up does not have such a high yield, one mu of land can produce 400 kilograms. If we open up the emperor and each family plants five mu of cotton, that is 2,000 kilograms. The princess has said that the price of cotton after it is planted will be between eight and ten coins, which is nearly twenty taels of silver."
The people in the village were all moved when they heard this.
"What if it doesn't work?" someone asked worriedly.
"What is there to be afraid of? At most we will waste a few months of effort, but what if it succeeds? If it succeeds, we can get rid of our current predicament. Our village will have food to eat and money to spend, and we won't have to worry about our children not being able to get married. It takes two or three years for fruit trees to generate income, but it's different with cotton. You can get cotton in a few months." The village chief looked at them earnestly and said.
All the villagers discussed quietly, and then they all spoke up: "Village head, we will listen to the princess and follow her to plant fruit trees and cotton. We want to make more money so that all the children in the village can go to school."
"Yes, it will only take a few months at most. We can afford the gamble."
"Okay, let's go talk to our relatives about the land reclamation. The princess said that the prince has already notified everyone, and the paperwork should come down soon. Then we'll know what the situation is."
"good."
The villagers dispersed and told their relatives about this matter.
When their relatives learned about this, they were very excited and wanted to grow some cotton and fruits as well.
In the minds of these people, if Wang Jinhe can grow more than 1,000 kilograms of rice, then 700 kilograms of cotton is not impossible.
They want to try it too.
At most it's just a waste of a few months.
Then I thought, it would be better if several village chiefs could come and look for someone.
"Did the princess really say that?" As soon as they arrived at Jianghe Village and found the village chief, they couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, that's what the princess said. The princess also asked me to ask how many people in the village want to join us in planting. She will prepare fruit trees and cotton seedlings for us and send people to teach us how to plant cotton. The princess said that she will collect the crops for us after the harvest, so we don't have to worry about selling them at all." Village chief Jiang said happily.
"That's great. After we go back, we will start mobilizing the villagers to reclaim the wasteland. We will also plant cotton at that time. How about you talk to the princess for us?" This is money.
They are short of food and money now.
If you want to make money you can't be so timid.
"Okay, I'll go find the princess now."
"You go back and tell the villagers about reclaiming wasteland and planting cotton. Once I've confirmed it, I'll come and tell you. Don't worry. The princess is a very nice person and she will definitely be happy." Village Chief Jiang said cheerfully.
"Then I'll trouble you."
After seeing off several village chiefs, Village Chief Jiang went to the palace to look for someone.
I heard before that someone built a lot of houses in Shangjia Village, and now it seems that the prince and princess live there.
After finding the place, Village Chief Jiang felt a little embarrassed to go in. After all, the clothes he was wearing were not nice at all.
"Uncle, what are you doing at my house?" Xiaobao and Xiaozhi saw a middle-aged man standing at the door when they went out, and they immediately walked over and asked curiously.
"Young masters, I am the village chief of Jianghe Village. The princess has been to our place before. I came to see her today and have something to tell her."
When Xiaobao heard that they were looking for Wang Jinhe, he led his people in and said, "My mother is at home, uncle, please come in with me."
Village Chief Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xiaobao in.
When I walked over, Wang Jinhe was talking to someone next to him.
Chen Jinnian and his friends have arrived, and Wang Jinhe is telling them about what’s happening here.
"The village chief of Niangjianghe Village is here to see you. He seems to have something to tell you." Xiaobao brought people in and spoke as soon as he saw the person.
When Wang Jinhe saw the people around Xiaobao, he knew why he came.
"Village Chief Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Princess, after I discussed with the villagers, we decided to plant cotton and fruits. The village chiefs of several villages next to our Jianghe Village also came to me and asked me to help ask if we can also plant fruits and cotton with them?" The village chief looked at Wang Jinhe embarrassedly and asked.
This is a good thing for Wang Jinhe.
She was worried that there were only one village and not enough people.
I didn't expect that they had already found someone for her. This is a good thing.
"Of course you can. I was worried that your village might not have enough. Now you have given me such a surprise. I am really happy. When you go back, tell me how much you want to plant. When the time comes, come and tell me so I can start preparing seedlings for you." Wang Jinhe said happily.
Then he thought of something and looked at Village Chief Jiang and asked, "Aren't they worried that I'll cheat and end up with nothing?"
"Don't worry. Everyone thinks it's not impossible for the princess to grow 1,800 kilograms of rice, more than 1,100 kilograms of wheat and corn, and 700 kilograms of cotton. Even if the yield is only half, it will be a great thing for us. After all, the price of cotton is very high."
