The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 600: Sorting Things Out

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Cheng said, “I was talking to Luo Han about the fief’s construction previously! If you don’t manage the household, you won’t know how expensive money and rice are! After I obtained the fief, I realized that it was very difficult to do anything. Previously, I thought that we were already rich, but when I looked at the taxes and finances of White Foothill City, I realized that we need money everyvvhere!”

“I’m at my wit’s end here. Xiaoran, you’re talking about the situation in the mountains again. I think that many things have to be sorted by priority, but there are many things that we urgently need to do. It’s really worrying!”

After Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words , she thought about it carefully.

“It’s useless for you to be so worried! Why don’t you take a piece of paper and list out what to do one by one? It’ll indicate the urgency of everything, what’s urgent, and what’s missing. After listing them out, we can compare them one by one and it’ll be obvious what we need to do first!”

“The most important thing is that we can’t count on the existing taxes to generate income! There’s a saying that goes, if you want to be rich, you have to build the road first. The terrain here in Sichuan is inconvenient for transportation. If possible, I think we should focus on building the road! Once the road is constructed, commerce can be developed. When commerce is developed, taxes will rise, and we can do more things!”

Li Xiaoran’s words immediately gave Luo Cheng a clear plan.

“That’s right. Xiaoran, you’re right. You’re really my lucky star! I’ll go and list what I have to do now!”

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and smiled. “Come, I’ll draw you a form so you can list it!” “What’s a form?” Luo Cheng found it novel.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “You’ll know in a while!”

After that, Li Xiaoran took a large piece of paper and started making a form for Luo Cheng.

Because it was a form, Li Xiaoran used a charcoal pen.

Of course, the words written with charcoal were much smaller.

Therefore, after Luo Cheng filled in the forms one by one, he didn’t use up a single piece of paper.

The piece of paper condensed the contents.

After comparing the advantages and disadvantages, the urgency, and what they lacked, he immediately knew his priorities.

Luo Cheng said in surprise, “Is this the form you mentioned? This form is so convenient! Previously, I felt confused previously, but now, I’ve figured it out!”

“That’s right. The purpose of forms is to calculate and plan. Many things will become more simple after being filled in a form.” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile, “Husband, look, these are the most urgent things in the entire White Foothill City!”

With that, Li Xiaoran pointed at the two things on the form.

“The first thing is to build a road between the mountains and towns! The terrain of Sichuan makes it very difficult to enter and exit. If we build the road in a straight line, it will save a lot of time and facilitate the delivery of things from the mountains to sell! You have to know that there are also many treasures in the mountains. Many plants on the high mountains and farmed chickens, ducks, pigs, or sheep are much better quality than that of other places!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he also realized the importance of building a road.

“Xiaoran, you’re right. It’s just that building roads in these places isn’t easy!”

With that, Luo Cheng took out a map of White Foothill City and pointed at the places near the mountains.

“Look, these places are almost entirely cliffs. It’s too difficult to build a road out from here! If not for this reason, Sichuan wouldn’t have been unable to be developed!”

After Li Xiaoran looked at these places, she immediately sighed.

No wonder transportation in Sichuan only developed at a high speed in the modern era.

Sichuan Province had to rely on advanced road construction technology. Opening caves and overpasses were all highly technical projects. With the current conditions, it was impossible to complete them.

Although she thought so, Li Xiaoran wasn’t someone who was willing to admit defeat.

She didn’t have modern road construction technology. After all, she couldn’t find reinforced concrete at the moment.

But even without reinforced concrete, she could borrow the technology of other mechanical engineering to build roads!

For example, transporting goods from high mountains could be done with rolls and chains.

If the technology was mature, it could be made into a mechanist’s cable car.

Besides, the wind energy in the mountains could also be used. Water energy could also be converted into other power through mechanical structures and transport goods.

They could use the zipline method they had used in the capital’s farmstead to cross the river.

Therefore, there were always more solutions than difficulties. As long as they were willing to use their brains, there was no problem that couldn’t be resolved.

Li Xiaoran suggested going to these places to take a look again.

“Husband, in order to resolve the difficulties in the local area, we have to go there and take a closer look. Only then can we know what the commoners need the most! If you want to know about it, you have to see for yourself.” Luo Cheng also felt that he should go take a look, so he agreed.

“It’s fine to take a look, but let’s talk about the development of Hele Village first! ”

Luo Cheng said, “We have to build our residence first. Besides, now that the market on the official road has been formed, we have to use this good opportunity to develop Hele Village and the nearby villages! It’s not easy to renovate White Foothill City, but helping one or two villages become rich first should be simpler!”

Li Xiaoran felt that her husband was right. It was indeed necessary to build several villages first. Hele Village and the nearby villages relied on the existence of the official road to obtain such an opportunity, so they should make use of it!

Li Xiaoran said, “We don’t know much about the other villages, but we know about Hele Village! Therefore, let’s think about how to develop Hele Village first! ”

Li Xiaoran asked, ‘We definitely have to build a school.. Other than that, what else can bring about economic benefits to our village?”
