Chapter 1203 Thick-Skinned
Wu Lazi on the side was stunned. There were people everywhere in the field, old and young, strong and strong, men and women. She started her conversation with each person in a different way.
I couldn't help but admire him: "You are so eloquent, and you are so thick-skinned!"
It was really thick. Some people were wary and walked away from her when they saw her coming. Others, when they saw her talking to children, they picked up the children and hurried away, as if they were avoiding the plague god.
Even though she was treated like this, she didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face and still greeted people with a smile.
She couldn't help but touch her face, thinking that if these people treated her like this, she would definitely turn around and leave. Why would she let them give her such a cold look over and over again?
Dashu nodded beside him and couldn't help but agree: "Master Wu is right."
Wu Lazi smiled and was about to speak when Dashu sighed again, "Master is still amazing, really amazing!"
Wu Lazi: “…”
Does this mean that she is not good enough?
If you think about it carefully, it is actually true. She is not as good as others.
Seeing that many people had left, Zhou Guo smiled and went to the next village.
She had experienced such scenes countless times when she was in the north. Thinking back to the first time she sold mountain products, she was humiliated by the owner and the clerks of Chaoshuilou. She was extremely angry at the time, and gradually, she became more and more shameless.
Later, he started selling fertilizer and grain seeds, and shamelessly asked the people to buy two acres of seeds to try...
Now it seems that she was selling fertilizers and seeds very quickly in the north. Within a few years, she had these two things sold everywhere.
But the contempt and criticism she endured, even if she was as thick-skinned as a layer of paper at first, would eventually become as thick as a city wall. This was nothing. No one scolded her, spit on her, or threw mud at her.
However, compared with the north, it is much smoother to push these two things to farmers in Huguang. After all, it is just after the disaster, and everyone has no seeds, let alone a grain of food.
They were asked to allocate some of the relief grain to use as seeds, and they did it automatically without anyone reminding them.
As for fertilizer, the production cannot keep up now anyway, so it’s just right that many people don’t buy it. When the farm gets bigger and the staff is fully equipped, everyone will see the results and they won’t have to waste their breath to persuade them. Everyone will naturally buy it and will scramble to buy it.
The situation is much better than it was in the North. In these two cities, she no longer needs to spend so much energy on this. She can just take it slow.
Now spring ploughing is completed everywhere. We have just experienced a severe drought and people cannot afford to buy too much fertilizer, so this year's fertilizer is gone.
It’s not over yet. Some wealthy families need more fertilizer, and they even need top dressing. Even though they have limited manpower, they can still handle it.
Zhou Guo wandered around the villages while calculating the account books.
The spring plowing in the north is estimated to have just been completed not long ago, and the letter from the north will be received soon. If the situation is good, she will stay in the south until after the autumn harvest and then go back.
She hasn't spent the New Year at home for two years.
That day, she thought that she had almost finished inspecting this area. The weather was the same throughout the area, and the harvest from the fields would be about the same depending on the number of households, so there was no need to visit every household.
Thinking about changing place.
She spread out the map and said to Wu Lazi, "We are here now, at the westernmost end of the city. We are going to go south and take a look at this land. Life was not easy last year, so we should go and take a look at their land."
Wu Lazi nodded and said nothing.
Zhou Guo said: "I will take you around here for a while now. When you are familiar with it, the affairs of these two cities will depend on you. You have to guard here for me."
He was planning to give this land to Wu Lazi.
Wu Lazi was very surprised, "I am going to handle such a big matter by myself?"
Zhou Guo said as a matter of course: "Of course it's because you are capable. You are more capable and careful than the other two. I believe in your ability and will definitely make these two places another granary for us besides the north."
Of course she couldn't do it alone, so she had to send people from the north.
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Wu Lazi couldn't help but laugh. When she heard the second half, her smile froze on her lips. She pointed at the land surrounded by mountains on all sides and said with despair, "Do you expect a place like this to become a granary?"
There are mountains one after another, and many villages are located halfway up the mountain or on the top of the mountain. Many people's land is reclaimed on the mountains.
The pits dug out from the cracks in the rocks are small and narrow. How much grain can be harvested from them every year?
Zhou Guo said, "There are more places like this in Huguang. There are also patches of plains. As far as you can see, there are no mountains. The land there is very fertile, almost as fertile as the land in Nanhe. Just imagine how much grain can be grown in such a place every year?"
Designated to become a granary!
Wu Lazi thought about it and felt that there was hope. "I see. I'll give it a try and get the local people to buy more of our fertilizers so that we can harvest more grain."
In recent days, the areas with flat and fertile land have been hit the hardest.
Who wouldn’t be jealous of those pieces of land?
Who wouldn’t want to own it?
Everyone circled the land piece by piece, trying every way to make it their own, and this time the land that was spitted out was the most.
Many ordinary people got their own land back, and their livelihood was no longer a problem.
You can even sell the excess food.
If these lands are cultivated well, they will become another Nanhe River.
Zhou Guo had high hopes for this piece of land, and solemnly said to Wu Lazi: "We are not asking the people to buy more of our fertilizers. They should buy according to their ability. They can only buy according to the amount of land they have and the amount of fertilizer they need.
If they buy too much, they only have a few plots of land, and they can only harvest so much food in total. Otherwise, they won’t be able to pay back the money for fertilizer! As for fertilizer, the more the better.”
Wu Lazi nodded, "I remember it. I have learned a lot from others outside these days."
Zhou Guo said: "You have just started to get involved in this recently. There are actually many tricks in it, but you don't need to know so many details. After all, there are people who are dedicated to this. You only need to grasp the general situation. After all, there is still the escort agency that needs your concern. I just haven't found the right person to take care of this area yet, otherwise I really don't need you."
There are too many things to do in Wujiang. As the territory is getting bigger and bigger, he can no longer take care of many places. When the world is settled, even the money will have to come out of his small village.
She only has a few people at her disposal, so she has to take care of every aspect.
Wu Lazi said, "Sir, you don't need to be polite. I don't have much to do anyway. I will do whatever I can do. I can also learn what I can't do. Don't think I'm too old. I can still do it for many years!"
Zhou Guo laughed, "You are not that old, you are only a few years older than my mother, you can still live for many years."
