After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 50: Fortunately, She Made The First Move

Xiao Hanzheng knew that sugar could be made from sugar cane.

"We can also get sugar from this beet?"

Shi Qingluo nodded. "Of course. Other than sugar cane, beets are good at making sugar."

These two kinds of raw materials were the main ingredients in sugar making in the modern era.

"Let's dig some of them back home and make some sugar first.

"Then, we'll hire people to dig more beets back.

"After that, we can let the people in the village clear some land to grow beets.

"In the future, we can use the profit to open a sugar workshop."

Shi Qingluo was an agricultural science expert.

"Opening a few more mills can also boost developments in our village and those villages nearby. Letting everyone live a good life would tie their interests with us."

In ancient times, it was very important to have a good reputation before uniting their interests with others.

Don't underestimate the strength of a community.

For example, if not many people knew about you, no one would care even if you died.

But if the entire county knew about you, and most people's interests overlapped with yours, when something happened to you, they would speak up and lend a helping hand to ensure that their benefits weren't affected.

Xiao Hanzheng understood his little wife's meaning immediately.

This was good. Grabbing others along to make more money after earning some.

If he wanted to open a variety of workshops, he had to hire others.

As the Chinese saying goes, "It is better to have fun together than have fun alone".

This way, they wouldn't be easily targeted, or viewed as thorns by others who were jealous.

On the contrary, because everyone's interests were tied together, they could maintain a good relationship.

He nodded and smiled. "Okay!"

Be it paint or sugar, they were all expensive things.

It was very profitable to open a workshop.

The two of them dug up the beet and filled up the basket before returning down the mountain.

Xiao Hanzheng took the initiative to hold Shi Qingluo's hand and walked away. "Where do you want to build the house?"

"I suggest that we transform the old residence into a workshop. We can choose a new place to build a new house."

His recollection of the old residence wasn't that great.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I already found a suitable place. The environment is good and the location is also ideal for our paper making.

"Isn't there a bamboo forest near the river? We can buy that area and build a new house in the open field in the middle of the bamboo forest.

"The environment is also very elegant since it's surrounded by bamboo trees. We can build a scaled-down paper workshop next to it. We can gather the materials nearby so that no one will know that we are making paper with bamboo."

"We can replant the chopped bamboo. It would be best if we buy the entire hillside and plant bamboo everywhere."

Xiao Hanzheng was a literate person.
