Chapter 658: Resentment (7)_1
Actually, before preparing to open the furniture workshop, Yang Ruxin had already discussed with her great-uncle the issue that others might become jealous, after all, everyone’s life was not affluent, and everyone wanted to make money.
Of course, not only the people of the Yang Family would be jealous, but the villagers would be jealous too.
The elder Yang also realized this, but it was unavoidable; surely not everyone could use it, could they?
However, Yang Ruxin had a different idea. Furniture making was a skilled craft, not something everyone could do, but there were other things to do. Her goal was to drive the whole village to prosperity. Only if the villagers were all wealthy could her business grow larger. Otherwise, if only a few people quietly got rich, it certainly wouldn’t go far. The villagers themselves could trip you up.
She had previously considered the people from her great-uncle’s family. Blacksmithing was not an option, because iron was too precious and controlled by the Imperial Court. How could ordinary civilians easily get their hands on a lot of iron? Each county’s iron supply was strictly regulated each year, and only a few blacksmith shops were recorded for the purpose of repairing farm tools. There would be a surplus, but it definitely wouldn’t be too much - at most, it could produce another scythe or hoe or something.
So, she thought of a transportation team.
Goods from this area needed to be shipped out. So, she thought about creating a mule cart team. In the future, whether it was furniture or crops from the fields, if you wanted to exchange them for silver, they had to be shipped out.
This required no special skills, just physical strength and a willingness to endure hardships.
