The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

It was not until dark that Boss Cheng and his companions finally arrived at the entrance of the cave. They squatted in the bushes and looked around, then quickly opened the stone door and went in.

All the officers and soldiers in Cangwu Town have withdrawn. The people coming in and out during the day are easy to be discovered. Although they are eager to return, they can only wait until night falls and everyone in the town has gone home before they dare to go up the mountain.

Boss Cheng and Cheng Qi were left at the foot of the mountain to look after the carriage. There was no road on the mountain, so the carriage could not go up.

After entering the cave, several people immediately drove the tricycle at lightning speed.

When we arrived at the cave entrance, we found that there were many people squatting there, waiting eagerly.

"Back! Back!"

Cheers echoed throughout the valley, people ran around to tell each other, the atmosphere was excited, as if they were welcoming a triumphant hero.

"Is the journey peaceful?"

Cheng Dafu and others rushed over upon hearing the noise and asked with concern.

"Although there are some minor setbacks, it's nothing serious."

"Then, can we sell the ginseng?"

“Sold, sold!”

"Okay! Okay! It's good as long as it's sold! Let's go home and eat. We'll talk after dinner."

The crowd surrounded Cheng Erfu and his group and took them back to the cave.

A sumptuous dinner has been set up in Old Man Cheng’s cave.

Braised pork, fried fish cubes, fish balls and meat balls, Farewell My Concubine (pheasant and turtle soup), cold preserved eggs, stir-fried beef... and even watermelon, peaches and grapes.

"this......"

Several people looked at the feast of delicious food in astonishment. How come the village became rich just a few days after they left?

"These were all made by Nannan. We have already eaten them. These are left for you to eat."

"There are so many delicious foods, and I have never seen many of these fruits before. It's a pity that my eldest brother didn't come back, so he can't eat them today."

Cheng Laoer looked at the table full of delicious food, thought of his elder brother who was still drinking cold water and eating dry buns at the foot of the mountain, and said with sympathy.

"Oh, yeah, where's your elder brother? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"They are watching the carriage at the foot of the hill!"

"Carriage, you bought a carriage. You're a spendthrift. You get carried away when you have a little money. I'll let you get carried away."

Old Man Cheng had a dark face and chased after Old Man Cheng with his pipe in hand.

This pipe was given to him by his granddaughter, and he treasures it very much. His granddaughter also gave him a big bag of high-quality tobacco.

"They deserve to be beaten. These brats don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is when they have a little money. You, too, are the same. Don't try to persuade them."

Cheng Dafu was also adding fuel to the fire.

"Hey, Dad, listen to my explanation. It's not what you think. We didn't buy that carriage."

"No, eldest brother and third brother, you misunderstood. This carriage was given to us by Jimintang, which bought our ginseng."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Cheng put down his pipe awkwardly, as if he was frozen, and patted Old Man Cheng on the back with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"You little brat, you deserve to be beaten for not telling me earlier!"

"Oh, I am so wronged. You gave me a chance to speak up, Dad."

"Stop talking nonsense. Where's the money?"

"Oh! Oh! Here it is."

Several people took out silver bills from their chests.

The old men looked at the thick stack of banknotes with shining eyes, took the banknotes and left, and at the end they did not forget to remind them: "Eat quickly, and send some to your elder brothers after you finish eating."

"understood!"

"One, two, three, four, five... one hundred!"

"Oh my god, one hundred silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels, that's one hundred thousand taels!"

"Yes, it's one hundred thousand taels. How much did those two ginsengs sell for?"

"No need to count, I'll just tell you directly. The three ginsengs sold for a total of 200,500 taels. The purple ginseng sold for 100,000 taels each, and the small mountain ginseng sold for 500 taels."

Cheng Ergou was wolfing down a large chicken leg while boasting with a beaming look on his face.

"Wow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the cave.

Two hundred thousand five hundred taels, something that no one would have dared to dream of before today, but now a pile of real silver bills is actually placed in front of everyone.

Some people still didn't believe it and picked up the thick pile of silver bills with a face value of 100 taels and started counting them.

"One, two, three... nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand!"

"Phew! Today I finally experienced what it feels like to count money until my hands cramp!"

When everyone saw his embarrassed look, they burst into laughter.

"How do you use this money?"

Someone in the crowd asked quietly.

"This money belongs to Guaibao. We are starting a business now, so Guaibao is lending it to us. Let's decide how much to lend. When you make money in the future, remember to pay it back to Guaibao."

Cheng Dafu stood up, glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.

"What do you mean by lending or not? Guaibao took it out to provide everyone with start-up capital. Guaibao meant for everyone to share the money equally, and the same will apply to future dividends."

"How can this be possible? No! No! I absolutely disagree! Brick-making and oil-pressing are the secret recipes given by your family." It was also your family who proposed to buy the land down the mountain. What right do we have to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor? I firmly oppose your proposal."

The old patriarch stood up and firmly opposed it.

"That's right. I don't agree with this division either. If you insist on this, Jose Li, then we won't divide it, and we won't go down the mountain to start a business. Let's just farm in this valley for a living!"

"Yes, I object too!"

"Me too, I disagree!"

"I don't agree either!"

"I object!"

"........"

Everyone expressed their opinions, and no one agreed with Cheng Zeli's proposal, claiming that it was unfair.

"Then in your opinion, how should the money be divided?"

"Why don't you take out 100,000 taels and lend them to everyone, and let the rest go to Nannan?"

"This is a good idea. Let's all borrow 125 taels. taels is enough. There are people in our village. If we divide it equally, each person will get taels. I believe our brick factory and oil press will make a lot of money. Then everyone will have money to collect while sitting at home."

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

“This is the best way to divide it!”

"......"

"That's how it's divided!"

People raised their hands in agreement, even the old patriarch nodded, and Cheng Dafu made the final decision.

"Why not take out the five hundred taels separately as the clan's capital? Then the clan will also have a share of the money when it's divided. We can also use the clan's dividends to build an ancestral hall, buy sacrificial land, and run a school."

"This is a good idea. Ze Li is indeed a scholar with a sharp mind. Why didn't we think of this?"

Finally, it was decided to invest a total of 200,500 taels of silver as start-up capital for building a brick factory, an oil press, and real estate development. Cheng Xingwan invested 100,000 taels, all the people in Chengjia Village including Master Li's family invested a total of 100,000 taels, and the Chengjia Village clan invested 500 taels.

Villagers who work there receive extra wages, and dividends are distributed every six months when the brick factory and oil press make a profit.

After everything was agreed upon and everyone had no objections, Cheng Dafu asked Mr. Li to help him draft a contract and letter of commitment, and asked everyone to sign and fingerprint on it.

With this start-up capital, all the money that we had previously raised was returned to everyone.

Next, everyone continued to discuss plans for going down the mountain tomorrow.

Cheng Dafu, Cheng Zeli and Master Li went to the county government to purchase land, most importantly, the mountain.

Cheng Dafu, Cheng Daniu and a group of strong men went down the mountain to harvest tea oil seeds.

The rest of the people should make bricks as quickly as possible to build houses, and try to make tiles as soon as possible. Once the mountain is bought, a brick factory will be built at the foot of the mountain, which will require a large number of bricks and a large number of people.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the rice in the fields is about to have a bumper harvest. The heavy rice ears have begun to turn yellow.
