Zhao Xin, momentarily stunned, responded, “You truly are from the Zhao family. Actually, there’s something I haven’t told you. Our family has always been in the business of medicinal herbs, so I can help you with the Chinese medicine aspect.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chuan was pleased, as it solved a major problem for him.
Zhao Xin was also happy, having lived in Jiang Chuan’s home for so long without being able to help, and now she finally found her role.
Jiang Chuan immediately discussed with his sister what it would take in terms of money and manpower to plant a field of medicinal herbs. They talked so long they didn’t realize it was almost dawn.
After making their plans, Jiang Chuan quickly got the medicinal field up and running. While he worked during the day, Zhao Xin busied herself in the fields, enduring wind and sun, her previously fair skin visibly darkening.
Initially, they planted the herbs from Jiang Xia’s space, including a treasured Lingzhi mushroom.
Thanks to these, the medicinal field quickly scaled up.
Later, through Jiang Xia’s efforts to connect with old scholars, they began selling the grown herbs to scholars and hospitals, forming a complete sales chain.
Two months later, as the variety of herbs in the field increased and they hired about ten workers, Jiang Chuan began to think about transforming Pushan Village into a medicinal herb production base, abandoning traditional crops and buying food as needed.
He shared this idea with Tian Zao, who strongly supported it. Not just the commune, but also the villagers were very interested.
They were tired of farming year after year with average yields. Seeing the success of the medicinal field, who wouldn’t be tempted to get a piece of the action?
Thus, everyone worked together under Zhao Xin’s direction to transform all the farmlands into medicinal herb fields, planting herbs like Isatis root, Polygonum multiflorum, Poria, and Goji berries.
Xiao Li’s supply and marketing cooperative also lent a hand. Initially bartering goods, it now collected herbs to sell in city pharmacy, dividing the profits among the villagers. The cooperative gradually became a trading hub in the village, not just a simple supply and marketing market.
Moreover, Pushan Village’s herbs were sold not only in town but also across the country, alleviating national medicinal shortages and making a significant contribution to the country.
As everything fell into place and Pushan Village’s life improved, Jiang Chuan’s family received more good news: Jiang Qing was pregnant.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wan rushed from Grand Cloud Mountain to Pushan Village and decided to settle there.
This being the first child of the third generation of their family, it naturally received a lot of attention.
With Zhao Wan’s arrival, they needed more space. Su Zhen, to honor Zhao Wan, also decided to live in Pushan Village and bought a house nearby.
Interestingly, the house belonged to Wang Xing, who had been driven out of the village for his misdeeds.
Pushan Village had now become a peaceful and prosperous place. With thriving livestock and agriculture, even neighboring villages came to learn from its development model, hoping to replicate the experience in their own villages.
In just six months, Pushan Village leaped to become the wealthiest village in the area, attracting many new residents.
The village’s population soon surpassed the town’s and even showed signs of exceeding the county’s, leading the government to upgrade Puhshan Village to a new county city, Pushan City.
Just like Locust Tree Bay at the foot of Grand Cloud Mountain, Pushan Village, with its growing population, continued to develop and prosper.
Jiang Chuan, wanting Jiang Qing’s child to have a good home, built a three-story western-style brick house next to the commune, the most luxurious in the whole village.
Five years later, Jiang Xia reached the age of marriage and naturally ended up with Shen Mo, who rose to become the mayor of Pushan City.
Zhang Ping and Jiang Qing, after becoming wealthy through business, often engaged in charity work, becoming nationally renowned philanthropists..
