Chapter 140 The Son is a Villain 9

The things sold in the commercial street are not rare, but the price is affordable.

Not only that, the quality is also better than many other stores.

Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea can all be bought on this street, and many people who come to see the fun will take some home with them.

There are also many people who participated in the construction and would bring their families to the commercial street to show off to their families.

"I paved this wall. I had very high requirements at that time..."

"I carved this stone pillar. Who wouldn't praise my skills?"

"I argued with them about the eaves and finally they decided on my design."

……

They are all proud to be part of the construction of this commercial street, and so are their families.

This is a new symbol for the entire county, as if the former poverty is no longer dull.

Chaoyao's workshop has also officially started operation. She will bring Wanqixiao to have a look every day after class.

What to look at?

Watch how these workers work, and how Chaoyao breaks down and separates all their work to protect the complete process of the finished product.

If one person has learned all the skills, there is no need to continue running the workshop.

Therefore, it is necessary to break down each process, so that one more or one less point will not lead to success.

The formation of the caravan encountered some problems. The leader had to know the road or have the ability to explore the way, but most of these capable people had been poached by other caravans, so Chao Yao couldn't recruit anyone at all.

After much thought, Chao Yao finally threw this question to County Magistrate Zhang.

He has been the local county magistrate for more than ten years and is particularly familiar with those personal connections, so it would be right to ask him.

When Chao Yao brought some snacks to pick up Wanqi Xiao after class, he also talked about this matter with County Magistrate Zhang.

"Master Zhang, the establishment of a caravan will bring many benefits to the development of our entire county. I can guarantee that half of its profits will be used as taxes for Huangwu County to be used for basic expenses of the county. I will pay for the caravan to develop roads, and you will arrange the leadership."

If Chao Yao retreats to this point, it is basically equivalent to giving away money for free, and County Magistrate Zhang is not an ungrateful person.

He was the gatekeeper. Chaoyao knew him. It was this man who received her and her son when they first came to the county government office.

She wanted to give him a tip as usual, but he refused to accept it.

It is one thing that Magistrate Zhang is good at commanding his subordinates, but it is another thing that he has an upright nature.

"This man is from this county, his name is Xiao Zhishen, his character and ability are trustworthy, and he has been with me in this county government for some years. In addition, he is still alone, so he is most suitable to be a runner like this."

Chao Yao looked at Xiao Zhishen and was quite satisfied.

"How old are you?"

"My Lady, I am already twenty-one."

Chao Yao was a little confused, "Why haven't you gotten married yet?"

But she knew that in this dynasty, most people would get married before the age of 20, and very few would get married after the age of 20.

Unless the family is extremely poor, they would have already married and had children.

Xiao Zhishen touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. "My father passed away, and I need to observe a three-year mourning period, which ended this year. My previous fiancée broke off the engagement with me because she couldn't wait that long. Now I haven't found the right one, at least I can't wait for the matchmaker to give me a result for a while."

Unmarried and childless older singles...

This label immediately popped up in Chaoyao's mind.

"Or... I'll find you a wife. After you bring back the first batch of goods, the six ceremonies will be completed and you can get married then."

This kind of bachelor, once sent out, will basically become a rootless duckweed. It is difficult to control him without any care in your heart.

Although the person belongs to County Magistrate Zhang, at least he cannot just ignore him.

Xiao Zhishen couldn't believe his ears and was completely stunned.

Seeing his expression, Chao Yao thought that she had not explained it clearly enough, "Are you willing?"

"Yes! Of course I am willing!"

Xiao Zhishen was so excited that he could not control himself. He kowtowed to Chao Yao repeatedly, "Thank you, Madam Chao!"

Chao Yao hurriedly helped him up, "Stand up and talk, don't kowtow and kneel down all the time. This is just a piece of cake for me."

It is indeed a bit difficult to find a wife, but it is not impossible if you give the matchmaker enough money.

That little bit of money is just a drop in the bucket for Chao Yao; the most important thing is to allow Xiao Zhishen to have a deeper connection with him.

Magistrate Zhang also joked, "He is so lucky that he can get help from nobles as soon as he performs filial piety. Madam Chao is worried about it."

"No problem, as long as our caravan can be organized normally, these are all trivial matters. By then, our caravan will not only sell the goods in Huangwu County, but also buy back a steady stream of goods from outside. The first batch of teams going out will always take some effort, but as more and more teams come later, we will be able to make a profit slowly."

"Madam Chao is very thoughtful. So what are the other plans for the caravan?"

Chao Yao pondered for a moment and said, "The leader and the caravan members are selected from our county. We already had suitable ones when we recruited them before. Next, we need to select an experienced and trustworthy local person in each county. These people do not need to set out with the caravan. Their task is to find suitable buyers at the destination and establish long-term and stable cooperative relationships with the buyers. In this way, after our caravan arrives at the destination, we can sell the goods quickly, while also ensuring the quality and price of the goods."

"In addition, we also need people who understand the transportation and storage of goods. These people need to have certain logistics experience to ensure that the goods are not damaged or lost during transportation. At the same time, they also need to understand the market conditions and market demands in different regions so as to make the best sales strategy at the destination."

"In addition, we also need people who understand business negotiation and sales skills. These people need to have keen market insight and good communication skills, be able to build good relationships with buyers and strive for the best sales price. These people can also recruit locals in the destination to better adapt to the local business environment."

"Finally, we also need some people with adventurous spirit and tenacious will. These people need to have enough courage and perseverance to cope with various difficulties and challenges. At the same time, they also need to have enough patience and carefulness to handle various tedious matters. These people can be slowly trained and selected in our caravan."

County Magistrate Zhang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Madam Chao is absolutely right. Each step will take a long time to complete. We won't be able to do it in a short while."

Chao Yao smiled faintly, "No problem, I will personally go with the first batch of partners, and these will be resolved before the caravan sets off."
