Even though he can't do other things, he can still do these things.

The two discussed the vinegar workshop for a long time, from the business model to the staffing, from the site selection to the material selection...

It was not until the sun had completely set that Pei Chenghe realized that he had disturbed Xia Mingyue for too long, and he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After leaving Xinghua Lane, Pei Chenghe returned to the county government office and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to arrange the establishment of a vinegar workshop.

Assign tasks to each person to ensure that the vinegar workshop can be set up as quickly as possible.

"Sir." The man rubbed his empty belly and yawned, "Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

It was now completely dark, and all of them had to collect food and fodder for military supplies. They could only sleep for two or three hours a day and were very tired.

"If we wait until tomorrow, it will take another half a day to arrange these things one by one, and then it will be lunch time. After lunch, other things will be delayed, and I am afraid that many things will have to wait until the day after tomorrow."

Pei Chenghe sighed and said earnestly, "It's been a while since we last took so long. If it keeps going like this, when will the vinegar brewing workshop be built?"

"Besides, we receive salaries every day and have no worries about food and clothing. It's okay to delay for a few days, but how can we delay for those refugees? No matter how hard we try, the food and money in their hands can't last for more than a few days. Moreover, the war hasn't even started yet, but there are already so many refugees. When the war really starts, there will be more and more refugees. If the vinegar workshop is not built in time, how can we accommodate these innocent people?"

"We can't just eat delicious food and sleep in soft beds every day and ignore the lives of innocent people."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

To be an official, one aims at seeking a future and glory, and the other aims at accomplishing something practical, realizing one's ambitions, and having a clear conscience.

When it is possible, we should naturally do things for the people and bring benefits to the people.

"Master Pei is right." The person who originally wanted to go back to rest and eat was now full of shame, and he clasped his fists repeatedly, "I was lazy."

"Well, let's continue..."

The candles in the county government office burned until the beginning of the first hour of the morning before gradually going out.

On the second day, almost all the staff of the county government went out to work according to the tasks assigned by Pei Chenghe.

Xia Mingyue began to draw the layout of the vinegar brewing workshop, listing the various tools needed, setting up the various positions and number of people in the workshop, and roughly estimating the money needed.

Pei Chenghe first spread the news that the people could invest in setting up vinegar workshops.

The government is in charge, but the business belongs to the people. This kind of thing is very rare. What's more interesting is that it has a novel name, called shares.

By paying a hundred dollars to buy shares, you can become a shareholder of the vinegar workshop and enjoy the profit dividends of the vinegar workshop.

This vinegar workshop is supervised and assisted by the county government, and enjoys significant tax concessions. There is no one to cause trouble, so the workshop can do business in a stable manner.

Moreover, the vinegar brewed in this vinegar workshop is millet vinegar, which is personally taught by Madam Xia. The brewing process has to go through the procedures of cleaning, moistening, grinding, wineing, vinegaring, smoking, pouring vinegar, and sterilization. The millet vinegar produced is clear in color, delicious and sweet in taste, and is much better in quality than the aged vinegar and fragrant vinegar we usually eat.

The news spread like a cold winter wind across the streets and alleys, stirring up many people's minds. "This business sounds very new and seems quite reliable."

"It's new, but it's hard to say whether it's reliable or not. If this business doesn't make money, wouldn't the money be wasted?"

"That can't be said. There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. If the probability of making money is relatively high, then we can say that the business is reliable."

"I think so, too. Didn't we say that this workshop is organized by the government? It makes things much easier and saves a lot of trouble. With Madam Xia here, why should we worry about not making money from this vinegar workshop?"

"I also heard that this vinegar workshop will employ refugees in the future. Nowadays, the border is unstable and many people are displaced. If there is a place like this, the refugees can have food to eat, a place to live, and a livelihood to rely on in the future. It's a win-win situation."

"For such a good thing, let alone the chance to share the money, even if the government really brought a large jar here and asked us to donate money, we would probably take out our wallets and buy this share. It's not a loss!"

"Yeah, it's not a loss!"

"..."

Most people were in favor of the vinegar workshop selling shares to the outside world. Besides, they all had some money at the end of the year, so they were planning to go to the government office and buy some shares.

But some people disagreed with this. One square-faced man even stiffened his neck and said, "What a trick to cheat people out of money. You are all stupid. Whatever the government says is true. You just stick your neck into the noose. Whoever buys these shares is stupid!"

"That's right, you guys took it seriously when I just drew a pie in the sky. Why don't the government do such a profitable business themselves? Why do they have to sell the shares to the people and let them make money? Where in the world can there be such a good thing?"

"This silver is real silver only when it is in your own purse. Once you give it away, you may not hear any sound..."

Some people were so indignant that the others who were originally eager to buy the shares now became a little hesitant, not knowing whether they should buy or not.

But just as those hesitant people were wandering in front of the county government office, they found that those who had been jumping the most happily before and kept persuading others not to buy the shares were now stiffening their necks again, their faces flushed, and arguing with the government officials.

The reason for the commotion was that the number of shares each person could purchase was limited and they were not allowed to buy more.

No matter how much money you have, you can never think of taking control of this vinegar workshop.

How can one not be angry when seeing a way that is basically guaranteed to make money but now you can't get much?
So these people started chattering again.

"We have money in our hands and are willing to buy more!"

"Yes, yes. It takes a lot of money to set up this vinegar workshop. If we buy more shares, you can save the trouble of looking for buyers. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"It doesn't matter even if the price is a little higher than others..."

Everyone, "..."

I thought these people were not optimistic about this business, but I didn't expect that they were actually afraid that if others bought the products, they would not have a share, so they had to say in front of them that this business was not good!
How could there be such a sinister and cunning person in this world!

Everyone suddenly lost their minds and couldn't wait to do two things.
