Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 838: Four days ——2

She chose this plan after thinking about it very carefully.

When Yan Zhao heard Su Wan's words, he had to admit that she was right.

The butchers were not under any institution at the moment which meant that if they wanted to leave the city they could do so at any moment and neither he nor Su Wan would be able to stop them as they were not under their control but it would be different if they were working under a shop because then they would be the employee of that shop and could not leave by violating the contract.

" Will this work? I don't think that people will buy food. After all, they don't have enough to eat at home, how can they take out money to buy snacks?" Yan Zhao asked after some hesitation, though he believed Su Wan, he still wanted to clear up his doubts such that nothing would worry him later on.

" The snack street is for those who would be coming to see the aquarium but since you are worried about the people, then hire some of the people to work at the construction site. Ask them to earn money such that they would have enough to spend later on," said Su Wan. The snacks sold on the snack street weren't going to be expensive either way but Yan Zhao was right.

If there was no work, then people would be reluctant to spend money.

" The buildings will require artisans who are capable of dealing with stone, wood and many other things. This way they will be able to earn a decent sum of money by the time Snack Street is open."

" The most important thing is that the snack street will be using the seafood that is caught by the fisherman along with chicken, duck, rice, noodles and tea, this way as long as as people are willing to work they will have nothing to worry about, its enough to make their family richer than they are now at the moment."

"Also the money generated by the snack street, its ten per cent would be sent to the government to pay taxes and this way, the city will be able to develop."

This was the reason why she wanted to start with the snack street first, it would take a long time before the hotel could be built, so it was better to start with the small thing before going to the big thing.

When Yan Zhao heard her words, his eyes lit up. That was right, if this street could help them pay off the debt that they owed then it would be better!

Every year they took money from the government to help the people of the city but they did not pay the taxes that were supposed to be paid, even if they were not hurried by the higher officials, it did not mean that they could ignore the taxes that were supposed to be paid, the imperial family was not in a good condition after all, the war just ended and even though it had been ten years, it would still take a very long time to fill up the treasury that had been emptied by the late emperor.

And Yan Zhao really wanted to see the Big Ocean city get better and better than before which was why he really hoped that Su Wan's plan would work.

" Can this really be done?"

Su Wan nodded and then raised four fingers, " You need to give me four days that way I will be able to come up with a decent plan and hand it to you.

After you are done evaluating it we can start the construction." She paused and then added, " Just so you know, I will be the one paying for the entire Snack Street's construction, so I should have the right to keep the majority of the shares but of course, if someone else wants to use their private savings to help in the construction, I will distribute the shares accordingly."

She did not want to hand the shares to her husbands alone lest the people in the county magistrate's office say that she was biased. But of course, the matter cannot be hidden after all she will only be using the ten per cent shares to pay the taxes as for the ninety per cent they have to share among themselves. After all, there was no such good thing as paying nothing and getting rewards for free.

When Yao Zhan heard Su Wan's, he wanted to agree at once but when he thought about the colleagues at the county magistrate's office he opened his mouth and said, " I am afraid that those people will not agree."

" Why will they not agree?" Su Wan questioned back. " The snack street will need more than three thousand gold taels and all of it would be coming out of my pocket. If I am taking the risk then should I not be the one taking the biggest bite of the cake? If they want a bite then they need to take out at least five hundred silver taels.

As long as they are willing, I will hand them five per cent shares of the earnings."

Don't look down on five per cent of the earnings, if snack street started to earn a decent sum of money then forget about five hundred those officials would be able to earn ten thousand taels.

When Yan Zhao heard Su Wan's words, he also felt that what Su Wan said was reasonable. Since she was coming out with the funds from her personal treasury then she should be allowed to have the most shares of the earnings. After all, she was the one who was handling the construction and not taking a cent from the county magistrate's office.

Yan Zhao weighed her words carefully before nodding happily, " I will relay the words to the officials in the office. If they want to agree with your suggestion then I will collect the money."

" You can tell them, don't worry I will not let you or anyone else down."
