Wei Ruo explained, "The area of Taizhou prefecture is vast, and there are many famine victims. Once the wasteland reclamation is successful, the economic returns from the harvested grain will be incredibly significant. Simply put, this is not just a relief effort; it's also a business."
Some people didn't quite understand and asked: "Could Miss Wei elaborate?"
Wei Ruo further explained, "We initially use funds and food as payment to employ famine victims. We have them labor to improve the wasteland and grow crops. By the time we harvest in the autumn, the grain will belong to us, the investors. Not only that, but the newly cultivated land will become fertile farmland, which will also belong to us."
The initial investment could reap not only grain but a piece of fertile land as well. This seemed to be a profitable deal.
