Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The day laborers who worked for Mr. Fang's house were also quietly discussing the matter, especially those who had their property stolen.

Even some maids who were released heard about it.

Last year, many people were confiscated and lost their property, and there were also many good servants.

However, when the county magistrate divided the land, only the male servants were allocated the fields, and there were no maids.

They can only go home.

But going home...

Some people have been sold as maids since childhood, not to mention their feelings for the family, even the family doesn't have much feelings for them.

When they were released back home, they were either married off in a hurry, or they were left at home and worked tirelessly to do farm work.

Seriously speaking, it's not as good as when I was a girl.

Others, after taking back their daughter, turned around and found someone else to sell it.

But they are old, and many big families don't like to use them, so they can only be assigned to small families. They are both maids and passers-by, and they live very badly. They may be sold to bad families Dirty place to go.

Therefore, I heard that Beihai County has both men and women. In the past, they also farmed chickens, but they were paid for food, accommodation, and wages. They quietly inquired about it, and it turned out that it was better than staying at home.

A few older girls took advantage of the fact that they went to Mr. Fang's house to help workers gather rice and whispered together, "I have inquired with Erzhu, who is a long-term worker at Mr. Fang's house, and said that because there is a medical department in Beihai County, the department's order is a female official. So there are girls working there."

"Are you going?"

"I don't know the way."

"I know. Our young master took me to Beihai County when he went on a study tour. I know how to get there. Beihai County is not far from the state city. As long as we get to the state city, we will go to Beihai County in a day's walk. very."

"Just us? There won't be any danger on the road, right?"

"No matter how dangerous it is, there is nowhere to go," a 16- or 17-year-old woman gritted her teeth: "The old lady came to my house every now and then, and I eavesdropped. When the autumn harvest is over, I will be sold. If I sell it to that kind of place, I might as well just kill it."

"You are too angry."

"Bah, what kind of arrogance is this? They gave birth to me once. I paid them back ten years ago. Now this life is my own. Why would they still sell me?"

"Stop arguing, just go together when you want to go, call a few more people, I called the sisters I knew before, who are still unmarried at home, except for those who really love their daughters, who do not want to keep Selling for a good price in winter? Let’s just hit the road together, and we’re not afraid of the crowd.”

"I know the way to the state city. Erzhu is a good guy. He often sends things to the county town for Mr. Fang. He knows a lot of people from car dealerships. When we arrive at the county town, we can ask him to help hire a car to go to the state city."

"We can't miss the wind in this matter, we will contact the good people and leave."

"What about the household registration?"

"What kind of household registration do we need? We are all women, and we have no land, so we went directly as refugees."

"Yes, be a refugee!"

At this time, Cui Yuan was in a county not very far from them. He grabbed two strings of money to give to a few helpers, and said to them: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, I just thought that your county doesn't have so many people to support people. , and there is a lot of land in our county, let them stay in the county either as beggars, or as part-time workers everywhere, and when they do something wrong, they run around and end up taking the blame, aren’t you?”

The helpers have limited knowledge and feel that what Cui Yuan said makes sense.

And it's just some news, and it's true. Whether people go or not is entirely voluntary, so there's nothing that can't be said.

So the helpers took the money, patted their chests and said it was no problem.

Cui Yuan invited them to drink, and after they left, he exhaled.

The book boy who followed him couldn't help but said, "Master, aren't we going to run?"

Cui Yuan: "...what are you running for?"

"If the county magistrate here knows that you are digging people, they can't arrest you?"

Cui Yuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry, the county magistrate won't know our plan. Where is this going? I plan to set up a platform to recruit workers."

Book boy:  …

Cui Yuan said that a platform was set up to recruit workers, and sure enough, the next day, a platform was set up to recruit workers, right at the gate of the city, in front of the city guard.

The city guard and the yamen asked curiously, "There are so many coolies in West Street, why don't you recruit them, but come here to recruit them?"

Cui Yuan said confidently: "There are all part-time workers there. It's okay to work for a day or two. I'm going to recruit long-term workers. Starting now, it may not be completed until the spring of next year."

The yamen looked at him and asked with a smile: "You don't look like the manager of a business, why do you want to form a caravan to go business?"

"That's not the case," Cui Yuan said with a smile. "The head of the family is the magistrate of Beihai County. He has to build roads and bridges, and cultivate the manor, so he needs a lot of manpower. There are few people in Beihai County, so he has to recruit some part-time workers."

He sighed and said, "The yamen are not enough."

Beihai County recruited people here, and the yamen immediately reported it to the county magistrate.

Hearing the words, the county magistrate didn't think much, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Beihai County is now rich and powerful. The county government and the county town are in tatters and must be repaired. They don't have enough people, so it's normal to recruit from outside."

The county magistrate thought very much, "It's just that they went to make money, and they have to spend it on our county and their families when they come back, and they also enriched us."

The yamen felt that the county magistrate was right, so he did not restrict Cui Yuan anymore. Every day he passed by and looked at the people he recruited. It's a pity that most people are not happy when they hear that they are going to Beihai County. He went, and after two or three days, he only recruited three or four people.

Cui Yuan never thought that the first batch of long-term workers he recruited was actually a group of little ladies.

From the age of twelve to eighteen, there were eighteen in total. As soon as he entered the city gate, he found him and asked him if he was recruiting from Beihai County.

A young lady in the lead asked, "Is there anything we can do?"

Cui Yuan stared at them blankly. In fact, he didn't understand what they could do when they went there, whether they could open up wasteland or build a wharf?

But the county magistrate before coming here repeatedly warned that women should also, regardless of gender.

So he still nodded at them affirmatively, "Yes, you are all going to Beihai County, are you sure you can stay for a long time?"

The girls nodded fiercely, "Yes."

Cui Yuan studied the ink and picked up the pen, "Come on, report your name."

An older lady grabbed the burden in her arms and asked, "Can we leave today?"

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Of course you can. It just so happened that I also recruited a group of people in the past two days. I will send someone to send you over together."

As for him, he was going to the next county with the rest of the money, and in the past two days, he finally found a reliable person to help him continue to recruit workers here.

The father of the yamen, who always came to join in the fun, knew a few words, and Cui Yuan agreed with him, "If you recruit one person, as long as the person arrives in Beihai County, if you can recruit a hundred people, that is A thousand pennies."
