Meixiang paused, looked at the village chief and Liu Daniu, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have something to ask the village chief. If our village has money, what would the village chief want to do most?"

"Build roads and schools." Before Meixiang finished speaking, the village chief answered without hesitation. Judging from the speed at which he answered, it was obvious that he had thought about these two things countless times in his mind.

Meixiang was very happy to see the reaction of the village chief, "If you want to get rich, you must build roads first", "No matter how poor you are, you must not be poor in education, and no matter how hard it is, you must not make your children suffer." She didn't expect that a village chief in this small Xiaoliu village would have such awareness. Meixiang couldn't help but look at him twice more and became more concerned.

"The fourth and most important point is that people from other villages and even other states will definitely come to buy potato seeds in the future. The village chief needs to come up with a charter in advance and discuss a pricing method."

"These are the four points I can think of right now. Village chief, please think about it later to see if there is anything else you need to add. If you are free tomorrow morning, you are welcome to bring a few people to the Liu Mansion in Liujia Village. I have also made an appointment with the village chief Liu of Liujia Mansion. So we'll say goodbye now." Meixiang stood up after she finished speaking.

The village chief stood up and bowed respectfully in the direction of Meixiang: "On behalf of all the villagers in Xiaoliu Village, I would like to thank Miss Liu for her kindness. I will think carefully about what you said today and then come up with a set of rules. I will ask Miss Liu to review it tomorrow morning."

The village chief was stunned as he watched Meixiang and her two servants leaving. He vaguely realized that perhaps the opportunity he had been waiting for was coming.

In the main hall of Liu's house in Liujia Village, Village Chief Liu had been sitting here waiting for half a day, but he did not seem impatient at all. He knew that whenever Liu's house invited him, something good was bound to happen. Now, which village chief in the surrounding area did not envy him?

As soon as Meixiang stepped into the house, she saw the village chief Liu, who was grinning from ear to ear. She thought to herself that this old man was very well behaved. They had agreed to meet in the morning and noon, but she didn't expect him to come to her house so early.

"Uncle Village Chief, what good thing happened to you that makes you smile so happily?" Meixiang asked jokingly.

"Haha, Miss Liu, you're back. I want to ask for your blessing again, haha..."

Meixiang walked into the room and took the tea bowl handed to her by Nanny Chen. She smiled softly at him, then turned to look at Village Chief Liu who had already stood up, "Uncle Village Chief, please take a seat."

"I asked you to come here today because of the potato field outside the wall. I plan to dig it out tomorrow to see how the yield is. Here are a few things I want to remind you, uncle."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Liu immediately sat up straight, pricked up his ears and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Miss Liu, just tell me what you want, I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

"The first two people who came to plant were Da Zhuang and Liu Yuan. Please ask them to come and help again tomorrow. They can also guide the villagers in the future, right?"

Seeing the nodding head of the village chief Liu, Meixiang continued, "Secondly, I will give some of tomorrow's harvest to Liujia Village for trial planting, and the rest will be handed over to the government office for unified processing. You need to come up with a plan in advance on how to distribute the portion given to Liujia Village."

"Also, Uncle Village Chief, I have a question for you." Meixiang paused and stared at the Village Chief Liu who was sitting opposite her. "We in Liujia Village should have some money now, right? I want to know what you plan to do with this money?"

Village Chief Liu scratched his head, his face full of confusion for a while before he said, "The village elders want to wait until there is more silver before deciding what to do with it."

Meixiang's eyes widened when she heard this. This was totally unlike what the shrewd Liu clan leader would say. She sighed secretly in her heart. With the example of the head of Xiaoliu Village, the gap between people can sometimes be clearly seen in such an unintentional comparison.

"Okay, that's it for today. Just come early tomorrow." Village chief Liu was very sensitive to the changes in Meixiang, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he had to get up and say goodbye.

Xiao San saw that the young lady had been sitting there in a depressed mood since Village Chief Liu left, unconsciously turning the Buddhist beads on her left wrist and losing her focus. Then he walked out and stood at the door, quietly blocking anyone who wanted to enter, leaving her some space to be alone.

Before lunch, Meixiang came to her senses, breathed a long sigh of relief, and figured out some things. She realized that some things cannot be rushed. People are different because of knowledge, experience, vision and other factors. This is not something that can be changed and grown by just one or two things in a short period of time.

At this stage, all she can do is to select the best candidates and use the role of benchmark to drive and stimulate other people who are waiting and watching. It is inevitable that there will be some problems at the beginning, but it is acceptable as long as the general direction and fundamentals are not shaken.

Meixiang, who had figured it out, accompanied the beautiful woman for lunch and took a short rest. Then she lay down on the conference table by the window in the main room and began to draw pictures and organize her ideas about various matters in Liuzhou Prefecture.

The conference table was installed just before Meixiang returned home. It was designed in a modern and simple style, three meters long and one meter wide, with ten chairs. Meixiang found it very easy to use, which greatly improved her work efficiency. It was basically completed before Situ Yidong and the others returned to Liu's house.

After dinner, everyone sat down at the meeting table. Situ Yidong looked around curiously, "Sister Xiang'er, sometimes we all wonder what's wrong with your little head. How can you come up with so many good things? No, I want to get a set in my tent and the study in the capital. This is too convenient."

Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng nodded after hearing this. Although they were not as lively as Situ Yidong in normal times and were not used to saying some things, they had followed in Situ Yidong's footsteps without falling behind in this regard.

"Let's go over the recent things and see how everything is going." Meixiang glanced at her friends who had been busy lately, and her heart was filled with emotion.

"Tomorrow I plan to dig the potatoes in the south. Firstly, they are ripe, and secondly, the Liu Mansion is in urgent need of expansion and space."

"This morning, Meiying, Xiaosan and I went to the neighboring Xiaoliu Village. What do you think? I really found a treasure this time, hehe..." Meixiang couldn't suppress the smile on her face when she thought of what the village chief of Xiaoliu Village said about "building roads and schools."

"What treasure makes you so happy?" Situ Yidun asked Meixiang with a smile in his eyes.

"What do you think?"
