Yao Baishi's eyes lit up as he instantly spotted a business opportunity. He said, "I could easily mobilize the villagers across every single village in Qiao Township to come here and catch fish, and then sell them to other places at high prices!"
Jiulingxiang shot him a look of disgust and retorted, "Everyone elected you township leader to lead them toward a good life, not to turn them into fishermen and fishmongers. If you actually pull a stunt like that, all of Qiao Township will jointly petition to strip you of your title and hold a new election!"
Yao Baishi was furious that Jiulingxiang dared to treat him with such disrespect, but he didn't dare flare up. Instead, he argued, "The food issue is a huge problem. Even though everyone in the villages has been allocated arable land, farming and harvesting crops just doesn't make enough money—no one wants to farm! And even if someone were willing, crops won't grow overnight!"
