Chapter 242 Win-Win

"I know." Wu Fan nodded and said, "I didn't think of asking the villagers to pay. I'll pay for this."

"You pay?" The old village chief looked at Wu Fan in surprise at first, and then his surprised expression slowly turned into contempt: "You haven't paid back the money you owe the village yet, and you still have money to build a city wall?"

Wu Fan's old face blushed: "I can pay back the money soon, and it's not time yet. As for the money for building the city wall, I will find a way. I am also thinking about the safety of the village. As a member of the village, even if I don't have money, I want to contribute to the village and keep it peaceful."

Looking at the righteous Wu Fan, the old village chief's face was full of doubt: "Are you really so kind?"

"Of course." Wu Fan said, "What else can I want? The money doesn't need to be paid by the village."

The old village chief thought about it. Wu Fan proposed to build a city wall, and the money was paid by Wu Fan himself. It seemed that their village really had no losses.

"In that case, the village wall will be left to you to build." The old village chief thought for a while and said.

The village doesn't have to pay for it, and they can also build a wall to protect the village. No matter how you think about it, their village will suffer, so there is no need for him to refuse.

"Okay, I'll take care of building the city wall." Wu Fan patted his chest and said, "However, I'll pay for the construction of the city wall. Shouldn't our village also give me some assistance?"

The old village chief looked at Wu Fan with an expression that said, "I know you're not that kind. Tell me, what kind of assistance do you want?"

"Actually, I don't ask for much." Wu Fan said, "I just want the ore, wood, soil and other materials needed to build the city wall. Can we use the resources in front of the village? In addition, it's definitely not enough to rely on the few people in our militia. Even if we build it for a lifetime, we can't build the city wall. I plan to get some people from the county town. In the future, our village may be much more lively than before. I hope that you, the old village chief, can allow them to live here. Also, can you teach some of them some knowledge about construction? In this way, the city wall can be built faster and more firmly."

"Your request is not much?" The old village chief looked at Wu Fan with contempt again.

"It's just a little bit, really just a little bit. Compared with the cost of building the city wall, it's nothing, right?" Wu Fan said with a smile.

"So the materials are all from the village, and you are reluctant to use the resources on the back mountain. To build the city wall, you only need to pay for the labor cost?" said the old village chief.

"The labor cost is also a lot. So many people, whether they are bought or hired, it is a huge expense." Wu Fan said.

The old village chief thought about it and it made sense. Moreover, the trees and waste mines in front of the village were left there. They didn't need them. After the city wall was built, the village would be safer, which was also good for them.

As for teaching some of them knowledge about architecture, it was just a matter of convenience and he didn't need to waste too much energy.

"Okay, I agree to all your requests." said the old village chief.

"Thank you, village chief." Wu Fan said happily.

Wu Fan built the city wall for the safety of the village and the resources on his back mountain. That was the foundation of his development in reality. He could not ignore it. He would do it even if he invested more.

And he used this point to negotiate with the village chief, saving his material costs. He only had to pay for labor costs. However, this labor cost did not cost much. As Luo Yang said before, the refugees near the county town were willing to do any hard work as long as they were given a bite to eat. Even buying them did not cost much. In addition to building the city wall, these laborers could also help Wu Fan farm, cut trees, etc.

In total, Wu Fan had insured his industry without any investment.

Moreover, Wu Fan could select some strong people from these people to join his militia and strengthen his strength.

So, Wu Fan made a profit from the whole thing.

Therefore, after getting the consent of the old village chief, Wu Fan left with satisfaction.

Looking at Wu Fan's back, the old village chief also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In this matter, the village not only did not suffer any loss, but also made a lot of money.

The forest and waste mine in front of the village were left there, which was of no use to their village. Using these resources that they could not use, they exchanged their existence for a city wall, and the safety of the villagers was guaranteed. This deal was very cost-effective.

In addition, Wu Fan wanted to get some people into the village, which was also a good thing for the village.

With more people, they always have to consume, and the villagers in their village are all masters. How can the things they make be bad? At that time, they can make a lot of money just by selling things.

Therefore, this matter is actually a win-win result for both parties.

Of course, building a city wall is not a matter of one day or one night. Even if Wu Fan is a "player" and has preferential treatment, the construction of the city wall also takes time.

Before the workers arrive, the city wall cannot be started for the time being, so Wu Fan's focus is still on upgrading. Only when the level is high can his strength increase. Wu Fan is very jealous of the two level 30 equipment.

After returning to reality, apart from being busy with the restaurant, Wu Fan did not have time to go to the archery club to practice archery in the afternoon. Instead, he went to Zhao Yanan. The batch of wood that Wu Fan had sent over had already undergone preliminary processing. , now it has been sent to the furniture factory.

Wu Fan had said before that he wanted to visit the furniture factory, and he was also planning to teach the masters there their skills. Although Zhao Yanan did not believe that Wu Fan had master-level skills at the age of more than 20 years old, but , naturally he would not refuse Wu Fan's request to visit the furniture factory.

"All the wood has been shipped, and the workers have started to build it. According to your request, I have recruited a group of people in the past two days." Zhao Yanan brought Wu Fan to the furniture factory, walking inside and talking. Introducing the situation in the furniture factory to Wu Fan: "However, it is more difficult to recruit those masters with good craftsmanship. They are the treasures of various furniture factories. Recruiting such talents not only takes time, but also requires paying high fees. "

"Then there is no need to recruit new masters. We can use the existing masters in the factory and train them ourselves." Wu Fan said, "I will teach them! I guarantee they will be no worse than the other masters."
