On another side, the purple sweet potatoes also showed good growth, and in addition, some buckwheat was planted; although these would take a few months to harvest, the villagers saw a glimmer of hope.
The issue of food had been tentatively resolved, but now the primary concern was money. Nan Feng did have a substantial sum in Fuzhou, but distant waters cannot quench a near fire, and a business opportunity needed to be found immediately.
After much thought, she had a sudden realization: she had connections in the Military Camp, so why not bring the sword casting business back and produce them in Shangzhi City?
Producing face masks was another avenue, which the idle women could take care of, and then sell them to other provinces.
Nan Feng was a woman of action and immediately had Song Cheng contact the Military Camp; they agreed the plan was feasible and could place orders directly from them. Since it was Wild Brother's suggestion, no one dared to oppose.
