Chapter 450 Mashan Village Turns into a Hollow Village
Chu Chen got tired of cursing and then thought that maybe this wasn't such a bad thing.
If he, like the drunkard, developed a simple hobby of drinking, murder, and romance, then he would never want to leave again.
Chu Chen believed that no one could resist the allure of fine wine and romantic red wine.
"Whatever, things never go according to plan. Let them be!"
He then put down the walkie-talkie and drove with Li Qinglian to Mashan Village.
Having been away for so long, it's time to go back and visit.
Although most of the able-bodied men in Mashan Village, apart from the guards, were busy working at the Qingyun City Supermarket.
But there are still many elderly people and children in the village.
For example, Gu Xiufang's mother-in-law, and Dongmei's grandmother.
Going back from time to time to deliver essential supplies is what villagers should be like.
Who knew that once the two returned to Mashan Village, they would stay for more than half a month.
For the past two weeks, Chu Chen and Li Qinglian have thoroughly enjoyed their time alone together.
He would often invite Wang Defa and his second uncle to have a few drinks and chat, making his life quite enjoyable.
But when he saw that Da Huang had also started to walk unsteadily, Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time.
Every night, Da Huang would come to the villa as promised and lie down at Chu Chen's feet, gnawing on bones.
In the living room, Wang Defa would always argue with his second uncle until they were both red in the face.
"Chuwazi, although everyone's life has improved now, look at the village's atmosphere, it's getting worse and worse."
“That’s right, Chuwa, everyone’s gone to work at the supermarket, and the fields are going to be abandoned.”
Upon hearing these words, Chu Chen suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
Yes, is it good or bad to take all the people of Mashan Village away?
Did I make a mistake by taking this step?
"Uncle Wang, you can certainly tell me what you're thinking."
Chu Chen looked at Wang Defa seriously and then asked.
"Chu boy, tonight, I'll take advantage of the alcohol to talk to you. Why don't you recruit another group of people and bring all the young people back?"
Let the young people come back.
These words deeply touched Chu Chen's heart.
He couldn't help but think of the modern society he lived in, where, with development, more and more people were leaving the countryside and heading to the cities.
The once bustling countryside has slowly turned into a hollowed-out village.
No, we need to change it.
That evening, after seeing the others off, Chu Chen took his notebook and went into the tea room.
To get everyone back, it's simple: just fire them.
However, having grown accustomed to high incomes in supermarkets, if they were suddenly laid off, they would likely be drowned in a sea of criticism.
The most direct way is to give money. For me, supporting a whole village is incredibly easy.
But simply giving them money will only turn them into useless people who can't do anything.
Therefore, we still need industries, industries that allow people to work in the village, and we need to ensure their income so that they can live a fulfilling life. This is the only way to ensure long-term sustainability.
So that night, Chu Chen didn't fall asleep until late at night, a smile playing on his lips.
Indeed, he already had a plan in mind for the next step, a plan that would restore the liveliness of Mashan Village to its former glory.
Moreover, it can directly double everyone's profits, instead of just distributing money.
Mashan Village has no shortage of water or land, so the only way to return to the essence of rural life is through farming and animal husbandry.
By farming and raising livestock, they have a wealth of resources that can generate economic benefits for them.
The next day, Chu Chen stood on the roof of the villa, overlooking the entire Mashan Village.
"This house looks a bit old, and it's all small tile-roofed houses. Should we renovate it?"
These houses were all built when I first traveled back in time.
Chu Chen then looked at the so-called villa under his feet. It was still a brick and tile structure, while all around him were reinforced concrete houses.
Mashan Village is my final shrine, so why not renovate it?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen picked up the walkie-talkie and sent a message to Chu Yi.
After receiving the information, Chu Yi replied to Chu Chen.
This means that, coincidentally, he is currently in Mingzhu City, and the route leading to Mingzhu City is about to be completed. In three days, he will be able to bring Uncle Feng back.
Upon receiving this news, Chu Chen went to the seed shop inside the space, picked up some vegetable and fruit seeds that were not available in the Great Xia, and then turned and headed towards Wang Defa's house.
"Chuwa, you're saying that the Great Xia doesn't have these food seeds?"
"Yes, Uncle Wang, these are vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and so on. These are fruits, and I have already selected the fruits that are suitable for growing in our Mashan Village."
"Uncle Wang, what you said last night resonated with me deeply. It's time to bring everyone back from the village!"
When Wang Defa heard Chu Chen say this, he began to worry again.
"Chuwazi, everyone went to the city to make money, what's their income when they came back?"
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. Since I can get everyone back, I can guarantee their income after they come back. Not to mention anything else, it will definitely be better than working in the supermarket."
Hearing Chu Chen's confident tone, Wang Defa was completely relieved.
Chu Chen calculated that currently, the employees working in the supermarket only earn about two to three taels of silver a month.
But all this money was given to Li Qinglian because she was thinking about the villagers' hardships and used her high salary to subsidize them.
In fact, given the current wages in Daxia, where can one earn such a high income?
However, if I go back home and lead everyone in farming and raising livestock, and let the villagers invest in the business, the profits from farming and raising livestock will be distributed among everyone according to their labor.
Then, a large agritainment business will be opened at the entrance of the village to generate collective income.
In this way, it won't be long before the entire Mashan Village becomes incredibly wealthy.
As for myself, I am not short of money at all, and I will give them all the infrastructure and technology.
From then on, all the money the villagers of Mashan Village received was earned through their own hard work.
In this way, they can use the money with peace of mind.
Before this, Chu Chen had heard the villagers' concerns: what would they do if Chu Wazi stopped supporting them one day?
What Chu Chen wants to do now is to enable the entire Mashan Village to achieve self-sufficiency through the platform he has built for them.
This is the way to ensure that villagers remain wealthy for generations to come.
Immediately afterwards, after discussing with Wang Defa what to do next.
Chu Chen turned around and went home.
He was going to tell Li Qinglian to recruit new staff. For the safety of the entire supermarket, he decided to have Zheng Tianlong train a security team to be responsible for the safety of the entire supermarket.
