Everyone is having a great time this year. Walking around on New Year’s Day, I really feel like I was in Tongxin Village.

Ye Hongchang specially went to Chen Guangyao's house and brought home-made jujube steamed buns. "Uncle Guang, please try my mother's craftsmanship."

Chen Guangyao smiled and accepted, "Hongchang, you are too polite. Come in and sit down."

On New Year's Day, I visited Chen Guangyao, the old village chief of Xiema Village. It turned out that all the villagers in Xiema Village came to sit with him, and in the middle of the morning there was a room full of people.

Er Lunzi and the others knew that Ye Hongchang had gone, so they also went to visit Chen Guangyao's house. There were not enough stools in Chen Guangyao's house.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Hongchang expressed his idea of ​​raising ducks, analyzed the pros and cons, and then asked everyone for their opinions.

Chen Guangyao frowned and said, "Hongchang, it sounds good to hear you say that, but I have never raised ducks for sale in Xiema Village, and I don't know if it will work."

Chen Jiang also said, "It costs a lot to raise ducks. If you can't sell them for money in the end, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss."

The others nodded. Er Lengzi and Wang Yongfu also meant the same thing and were a little worried.

Ye Hongchang said, "There are definitely risks, but whether the road is passable will only be known after walking through it. You can't grow crops on that riverbank there, so it's perfect for raising ducks. I plan to try it this year." , but this matter also needs everyone’s support.”

Chen Guangyao smiled and said, "Okay, but I don't know what to do. I just have to listen to the village chief's arrangements."

Ye Hongchang analyzed the pros and cons with everyone, and finally said, "Our Ye family will bear the investment for the first year. We only need everyone to help manage the duck house. There are hundreds of ducks. It is definitely not enough for just a few of our family members."

"Don't worry, everyone, any money I lose in the first year will be mine, and the wages will be yours."

No one expected that Ye Hongchang was so majestic and harmless to them, which was naturally a great blessing.

Chen Jiang and others all nodded in agreement, saying that they were all obeying Ye Hongchang's orders. Erlunzi and the others, who had known him for a long time, were actually worried about Ye Hongchang.

It was approaching noon, and everyone went back to eat. On the way, the two idiots couldn't help but said, "Village chief, do you still have the money to build a duck house?"

Everyone in the village knows that the Ye family has some wealth.

However, after settling here, Ye Hongchang helped everyone a lot, and they were all afraid that the Ye family would live a tight life.

Ye Hongchang said, "Don't worry, there is still something to be gained by saving a little bit. I think I can do this business, and I asked Brother Wen to do the calculations carefully. As long as God doesn't deliberately do anything against me, I will definitely make money."

Walking to the door of Ye's house, Er Lengzi and Wang Yongfu were the only ones there.

Er Lengzi said, "I also saved some money and planned to buy wine. I was afraid that something would happen later, so I didn't want to spend it. I'll give it to you for emergencies. Then you can sell the duck and give it to me."

Wang Yongfu also meant the same thing, "I also have some, although not much, but at least I can help."

Ye Hongchang handed over his hand, "Okay, I accept your kindness. This money is not counted as a loan from me. It counts as your investment. If you lose money, I will pay you back intact. If you make money, I will share the dividends with you."

"Okay." The two agreed with a smile.

In the afternoon, the two of them delivered the silver, Er Lengzi's sixteen taels and Wang Yongfu's twenty-one taels.

The two of them didn't do any business before, they just farmed and lived. The money was saved bit by bit, which was half a lifetime's hard work.

As a result, the capital increased by nearly forty taels, and the Ye family was indeed much richer.

"Hongchang, the family's money and the Wu family's and Wang's money are all here. Leave twenty two families for middle-class spending, and the rest will be used to build duck houses and start this business." Wang pushed the money to Ye Hongchang before.

Ye Xiangxiang was amazed in his heart. In this era, there are really not many women as generous as Wang. Although the account has been calculated over and over again and the result is no loss, who can say for sure whether it will be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?

At the beginning of last year, no one expected that they would start running away from home in the second half of the year.

Once there is a loss, it will be the entire Ye family's property, and all these years of hard work may be in vain.

But Mrs. Wang still took out all the money grandly and just smiled, "Since you want to do it, you have to work hard to do it well. After all the hard work, you didn't make any money in the end, and the capital was invested. That's it." Big loss."

Ye Hongchang said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely do this well."

Ye Xiangxiang also swore secretly in her heart that she would not let this money go to waste. She came up with this idea, so she must be responsible.

The weather was warm during the Chinese New Year, so everyone rested for three days and then began to work together to build the duck house.

The young and strong people went to the mountains to cut down trees in preparation for building houses and making fences.

The elderly stayed at home to make ropes and straw nests, and they could always find work.

After the new year was over, Ye Hongchang took people to clean up the weeds on the river beach again. He discussed with Chen Guangyao and asked people to expand the area of ​​​​the river beach by half.

In this way, the area is larger and more ducks can be raised.

Ye Liwen settled the accounts and realized that it would be more profitable this way, so Ye Hongchang threw off his arms and started working.

After working hard for more than half a month, the river beach finally looks like it.

It is not difficult to build a duck house. After the snow melted, people who had repaired houses in the village came out to help. They were busy until early February, when a row of low houses were built by the river beach.

Everyone in the village feels particularly accomplished. Not long ago, it was a wasteland.

Ye Xiangxiang goes to the river beach every day to see the row of duck houses built under her watch.

Now that the duck house has been completed, Ye Xiangxiang is very satisfied.

Ye Hongchang saw her coming and walked over with a smile, "How's it going? Didn't I disappoint you?"

Ye Xiangxiang said, "We can be ready in ten days, but the weather is still cold. When the weather warms up, we can also pick up the ducks we ordered. There is no turning back when we shoot. This is really about to start."

Ye Hongchang smiled and said, "Don't worry, step by step and be down-to-earth, you will always find a way out."

After finishing the work on the duck house, Ye Hongchang planned to send Ye Liwen to school.

The previous Hanchen Academy held its admissions examination on February 11th, with three days left.

Ye Liwen was studying hard at home these days. He finally regained his previous feelings and looked forward to returning to school.

Ye Hongchang walked into the yard and heard the sound of reading loudly. He stood in front of Ye Liwen's window and waited until he finished reading before knocking on the window.

"Second uncle?" Ye Liwen opened the window and was stunned for a moment when he saw him outside the door, "Why didn't you just call me?"

Ye Hongchang smiled heartily and said, "You study carefully. I'm afraid of disturbing you, so I wait until you finish reading."

He pointed to the horse outside, "I'm going to hitch the carriage now. You get ready, and I'll follow you to meet the gentleman from the academy later."
