Chapter 138 Current Status of the Medicinal Materials Base (2)

“Are you not afraid of problems arising or afraid of no problems arising?”

"The deeper reason?"

Old Man Luo and Luo Sheng, both with faces full of astonishment, shouted out at the same time. Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng had been trained by Mei Xiangyu's style of never giving up until she shocks the enemy after these days of hard work, and now they rarely make a fuss and have become much calmer.

"That's right. It's always better to have problems at the beginning than to find them halfway through or almost at the end, right? At least we still have a chance to find a way to remedy the situation."

Seeing that Old Man Luo and the other man kept nodding, Meixiang continued, "The reason why the villagers are flocking to plant the herbs purchased by the military camp is because they have only seen people buying these herbs and actually receiving money. This is the main reason."

"If other people come to collect other varieties of herbs in the future, will some villagers switch to planting new ones? So our first consideration now is not to get all villagers to plant the same herbs, but to change their mindsets so that they will voluntarily try other varieties."

Luo Sheng, who had been listening with his head slightly lowered, suddenly raised his head, stared at Mei Xiang with shining eyes, and said tentatively: "Find a way to attract more people to Luojia Village to buy herbs? I think as long as there is demand, there will be villagers who will try to grow them."

Meixiang nodded with a smile of approval. People who have seen the world have different perspectives and thoughts, and their brains work faster. Suddenly, she remembered that he introduced himself as having been to all the state capitals that Zhou had visited. A bold idea flashed through Meixiang's mind, so fast that she almost missed it.

"I wonder who usually manages and coordinates the villagers in Luojia Village?" Chu Zeming suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Uh," Old Man Luo was stunned by the question for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, blinked his eyes, and replied with a dull look on his face, "Generally, the village chief is in charge of daily affairs. If there are major issues, all the elders need to make a joint decision."

Chu Zeming continued to ask: "What position do you hold in Luojia Village? How much power do you have?"

"Haha, since I'm alone and have little burden, I'm loved by all the villagers and now I'm the village chief of Luojia Village." Old man Luo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and his face changed from dull to slightly red, but because his face was too dark, you couldn't tell if you didn't look closely.

Chu Zeming nodded, turned around and gave Meixiang a look that said "continue".

Meixiang smiled at him with a hint of gratitude. There were some things she was embarrassed to ask too directly, and she was really happy to have someone help her do these things.

"Now that Uncle Luo is the village chief, some things will be much easier. I think I'm really lucky. The people I meet are either the village chief or capable, hehe..." Meixiang couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Here's what we're thinking. Uncle Luo, can you give us some advice on how feasible this is? Now that the villages around Luojia Village have all become aware of growing herbs, we can turn this concept into a culture and make it a business card for Liuzhou Prefecture. Well, a business card means that whenever people think of herbs, they think of Luojia Village in Liuzhou Prefecture."

Seeing the longing expressions on Old Man Luo and Luo Sheng's faces, Meixiang continued, "As for how to achieve such a high level, first, our herbal medicines must be of high quality, and second, we must do a good job of publicity and make a name for ourselves in the early stage. We have already found a way to invite several famous doctors to Liuzhou Prefecture to stay and prepare for their medical practice in the future. In the early stage, the famous doctor effect will drive the herbal medicines in our village."

"Then, what do we need to do?" Old man Luo asked excitedly. He was tired of the poor life with insufficient food and clothing, so the villagers had to seize this great opportunity that fell from the sky at the risk of their lives.

Meixiang looked at Old Man Luo, whose face was red and whose nose was breathing rapidly, and Luo Sheng, whose hands were trembling slightly and rubbing back and forth, with a half-smile. She did not directly tell them her thoughts, but used a different method to guide them to think. This way, when they encountered problems in the future, they could rely on themselves to solve them, instead of relying on her or the government office for help in everything.

She and Chu Zeming still have a lot of things to do and cannot put all their energy into Luojia Village. What they need to do is to provide opportunities and policy support for development directions. The specific administrative work still needs to be done by Luojia Village.

"Uncle Luo, the opportunity is now in front of you. It depends on how you seize it. Tell us your ideas boldly. If there are any missing or omissions, we can all solve them at once today. This is a good opportunity for everyone to communicate with each other so that they can make preparations separately afterwards." Meixiang replied encouragingly.

Old Man Luo lowered his head and thought deeply, while Luo Sheng stood up and went back to the house. After a while, he took out a simple book bound with needle and thread, and a small wooden stick with a sharpened point and a burnt end. He spread it on his knees, ready to record at any time.

Meixiang and the others were delighted to see this. They thought this was a thoughtful man. Looking at the notebook and pen on Chu Chen's knees, they all smiled knowingly.

"How did you come up with this idea?" Meixiang couldn't help asking as she looked at the thing Luo Sheng placed on his knees. She admired anyone who was willing to use their brains and be careful in life. Luo Sheng's actions not only surprised her but also touched the softest corner of her heart.

Luo Sheng followed her gaze and saw the notebook on his knees and the simple pen in his hand. He scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "This, this, I really don't have much money to buy a pen to practice calligraphy. Later, I occasionally found that unburned charcoal can also draw lines. It's just that it's difficult to control the temperature. If it's burned for too long, it's too soft, and if it's burned for too short, it can't write many words. But it's convenient to carry and easy to get."

"I think you did a great job. It's not scary to encounter difficulties in life, as long as we don't avoid them and find ways to solve them. There are surprises everywhere in life, right?"

Then he turned to look at the old man Luo who was in deep thought and asked, "Uncle Luo, tell me what you have thought of."

"Let me first tell you my thoughts. Miss Liu and the adults, please correct me if I'm wrong." Old Man Luo looked at everyone nodding and continued, "This is what I think. Since we are planning in advance, the most important work in the early stage is to make all preparations to the best of our ability based on the current ideas. I can think of the following points now."
