Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The county magistrate Lu, who had already vaguely realized that the situation was not right, secretly scolded Bai Shan as "treacherous" after knowing that someone had even left the rice in the autumn harvest and went to work in Beihai County, but it was difficult to stop him.

After thinking about it, I still open one eye and close the other and let it go.

But in order not to let Bai Shan take too many people from him, he also asked the yamen to check more refugees passing by, "guide them to Beihai County."

He currently doesn't have the ability to accommodate these refugees, so it's better to give them to Bai Shan. He has enough people, so he shouldn't grab ready-made people from him, right?

The county magistrate did not expect that a small Beihai county would absorb these foreign populations just like Jingtun.

They will be the first to settle in the official field outside the city, which is the official field of the county magistrates in the past dynasties, and it is also the current field of Bai Shan.

Perhaps it was to reduce disputes or to give preferential treatment to a county's parents and officials. In addition to the county magistrate's work field, there was a large area of ​​wasteland and open land.

The former magistrate Lu couldn't bear the waste of these lands, so people planted some wasteland. Even if he later left Gao Sheng, this piece of official land was still cultivated.

After Bai Shan came, it was cheaper for him.

It's a pity that the tenants don't seem to be very attentive, and the output is not very high.

Bai Shan can also understand that it is not a happy thing to be a tenant for the government, so after he collected the wheat from the summer harvest and the rice from the autumn harvest, he left enough food for the three of them, and turned around and sold the rest to the county government. .

The price is fair, neither taking advantage of the county government, nor allowing the county government to take advantage of itself.

Just want to take the opportunity to bribe Bai Shan's Song Master: ...

You don't need any money delivered to your door.

Now there are people everywhere around the land, Bai Shan asked them to build a lot of thatched cottages on the open land for people to live in, and then asked them to reclaim the wasteland near his work field to make official land.

As for his working fields, they are now divided into pieces, or to plant winter wheat, or to dig ponds to raise fish, or to grow mulberries and hemp, and some better fields have been opened and sprinkled with vegetables Variety of vegetables.

There is no objection in the county government for the time being.

However, after a period of time, the recruited long-term workers will be screened out and assigned to work on the official fields of each village.

Zhu Saburo and the others received their wages on the evening of the third day, a full forty pennies.

The three of them are still very thin, but their spirits are very different from before. Because they were refugees before they came in, and they have a note from the medical department, so although they were divided into the ranks of farming, they were assigned relatively light work. .

In the words of the person who brought them, "First take care of your body, and then you can use it later, or you will damage your body as soon as you get up, who will work for the county government in the future?"

He said, "I didn't say this either, it came from the county government office, saying that it was said by the county magistrate."

Because Bai Shan came to check and inquire from time to time, the workers did not dare to argue with each other, and even the yamen did not dare to be too cruel to them, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Bai county magistrate.

Although this magistrate Bai's methods are also powerful, judging from the things he has done, everyone knows that he loves the people, especially the people under his own control, so he is hostile. The yamen did not dare to do anything.

Not to mention the repeated orders of Dong Xianwei, no one dared to disobey.

Zhu Saburo received 40 wen of wages, immediately put it in his arms, and ran to the clerk who managed them to ask for leave.

"Going into the city?" The clerk looked up at him, then looked at the two young people behind him, squeezed out a smile and said, "Are you going into the city to buy something? What do you want to buy? We have it here, we have everything here, clothes, shoes and socks, don't dislike it. The stitches are not very fine, but they are cheap. Go to the county town to find out which store sells ready-to-wear clothes for 20 cents? The fabrics are all good fabrics. already."

Zhu Saburo: ...Who buys clothes that can be worn for three or five years? Who will buy it for the line?

He finally knew why the county government's clothes were so cheap.

He quickly said: "I'm not shopping, I'm going out to see my relatives. They came to Beihai County with me. I don't know what to do now, so I want to go and see."

He hesitated for a while and then asked: "I want them to go to work in the county government as well, but some of them have children. I don't know if adults want them."

The clerk immediately said, "The child has no wages."

Zhu Saburo: "...you don't mean that when you're young. Naturally, children don't need wages. The adults are working, can the children follow? Don't worry, they don't eat the county government's food, and we save our own rations for them."

Clerk: "Isn't the food you eat still given by the county government? You are all refugees, right? There are ready-made regulations at the county government. You can just bring people and children."

He turned his head to look at the hourglass, and said, "It's getting late, the county government office should be starting the office now, but Zhao Li usually leaves the office later than others. If you go early, you might still be able to live in today. ."

As soon as Zhu Saburo heard it, he took two friends and flew into the city after receiving the note, and found two people in the alley not far from the city gate, "Where are the others, call them back quickly, and let's go to the county office together. Register to go."

The two of them looked at Zhu Saburo, who had undergone great changes, and were amazed, "Is this new clothes? And new shoes, Saburo, have you developed?"

Zhu Saburo patted off their dirty hands, "Don't touch them, you will have them too. Hurry up and call everyone back."

It was only then that the two of them reacted, and they quickly asked, "Is it safe to go to the county office?"

"Reliable," Zhu Saburo took out the copper coins that were not yet warm in his arms and put them away in front of their eyes, and said, "The wages are settled once every three days. We have all three of us to pay wages."

The two of them listened with envy, and immediately went out to look for people. They didn't look for people one by one. They went straight down the street, running and shouting in their native dialect, "Come back, Saburo is back, come back soon-- "

When the few people who were squatting in the back alley and pulling the swill of the restaurant heard it, they immediately stuffed the small half of the steamed bun that had just been turned out into their mouths, turned around and ran out...

The children on the street who were reaching out and speaking auspicious words to passers-by also heard it, turned their heads to look at their relatives, and they immediately stepped forward, grabbed the children and ran towards the city gate.

Two quarters of an hour later, a group of dirty, panting people blocked Zhao Ming at the entrance of the county government office, who was about to go home.

Zhao Ming: ...

He looked at the sun that had already set in the sky, and then looked at the group of people who were looking at him eagerly. In the end, he turned around and led them into the county office.

Including the children, there are 18 people in total, which is quite a lot.

Because there were many people and they were all refugees, Zhao Ming personally took them out after registering them, but instead of going to the medical office, he went to the side door of the backyard of the county government and knocked on the door.

After a while, Bai Shan and Zhou Man, who were wearing homely clothes, came out to see it together.
