Although these people spoke vulgarly, they could definitely hear the joy and excitement mixed with their words, and everyone around them was immersed in the atmosphere.

Chapter 242 Treating the People Kindly 2

Similar conversations are happening among the people. These ordinary people work in the fields on weekdays, using wood or stones, and rarely have the opportunity to use iron farm tools.

Because they are too poor, and iron is very expensive.Now, Chen Feng distributes iron farm tools to each of their households, which is completely beyond their imagination.

You know, not to mention these farmers, some princes without money can't guarantee that all their subordinates can be equipped with iron weapons.

Not to mention those tribes on the grasslands, arrow heads are often made of sharp stones or animal bones, and it is simply a luxury to want to use iron.

In this way, it is enough to see the preciousness of ironware in this era. It is not surprising that these farmers sighed so much.

"Mother, open the door quickly, I'm back, your man, hahaha, open the door quickly, I've brought you something good."

With a smile on his face, a man returned to the door of his house carrying iron agricultural tools. The smell of rice in the house made him swallow his saliva. He hadn't had time to eat when he went out in the morning, and he was very hungry now.

"What are you talking about, I found a treasure, you."

A woman's voice came from inside the room. From this voice, it can be heard that the woman in the room must have a hot personality, but there was a hint of joy mixed in that tone.

"You won't even enter the door of your own house, you, didn't you mean to divide the livestock today? Did you divide it?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely."

The man carefully moved the farm tools into the house and laughed. Those farm tools seemed to be his children, and he cherished them so much.

"Our family shared a piece with Lao Huang and Lao Li's family, and shared a cow, which was a bit small, so we let the three of us share it.

You see, these agricultural tools were also sent by General Zhengdong. They are all made of iron, and this kitchen knife, look, this knife is sharp. You don't need to borrow a knife for cooking in the future. "

"It's really good to have livestock, this is great, you don't need to pull the plow when you plow the land in the future, and you don't have to suffer so much.

Oh, this is really a kitchen knife made of iron. It's really sharp. It's much better than Sister Huang's. Is it really for us? "

"Really, really, what General Zhengdong said will never be false. Think about it, we have been here for so long, when did General Zhengdong speak big words."

The man quickly filled himself with some food, and then looked at his woman with a smile. The smile on his face undoubtedly revealed the joy in his heart.

"It's so cold, it's not good to stay at home every day, I have to find a way to make money. This Youzhou is already owned by General Zhengdong, and I can make money wherever I go.

Just now we all got the news that General Zhengdong called on everyone to go to work at the seaside of Yuyang and take care of food and housing.

I found out that someone from the village next door has already gone there, and it is said that they do a good job there, and they can eat meat every now and then, so it is meat. "

"You, if you say you're stupid, you still don't believe it. You know how to laugh all day long. Hey, why did I marry such a fool like you?"

The woman pointed at her man's head and laughed. In this smile, there was her love for her husband, a little bit of warmth, all in it.

"General Zhengdong is absolutely benevolent, but I know he will not brag, we are all poor people, even if we go to work for others, we will not eat meat every now and then.

I haven't eaten a few meals of meat since I was born, you are still dreaming here, drink the porridge quickly, then let's go and see the cattle, we have to find a way to build a cowshed, and the cattle can't be frozen. "

"Don't worry, we'll do it later, but I'm serious, I'm going to Yuyang Beach to work.

Regardless of whether there is meat to eat, at least I can manage food and housing, and I can also get wages. In this way, I can save one person’s ration for the family, and you and the children don’t have to be hungry all the time.

The head of the village said, we will come back after the beginning of spring, so that we can just catch up with the spring plowing, the time will definitely be stuck, and there will be no delay.

You and Sister Huang take good care of the house at home, and then raise our cattle to be strong, so that we can reclaim more land after the spring.

I figured it out, our family has so many fields, and we can't handle all kinds of food. We can raise sheep, chickens and ducks.

These livestock and poultry can also grow meat by eating grass and insects. We only need to take good care of them on weekdays.Anyway, I believe that with General Zhengdong here, our life will be better and better,,,,,,"

Every household laughed from ear to ear after receiving the livestock and farm tools. After finding out that men could go to the seaside to work, every household became busy.

After all, traveling far away is considered a big deal for these common people. Women from every household are busy making one or two winter coats and shoes for their men.

A few days later, the men of this village set out in a group, along the way there will be someone to guide them, and there will be a station for them to stop and rest.

The road leading to Yuyang Beach is full of ordinary people who want to make a little money in winter, and they are full of fantasies about the future.

"Look, we have finally reached the beach,,,,,,"

The moment they saw the sea, the men who came out to work were excited. After walking for so many days, they finally arrived at their destination.

"What are you talking about, are you here to work? Come here, I'm short of people here."

A middle-aged fat man in gorgeous clothes ran over on horseback, shouting continuously.

"Ten cents a day, food and housing, and meat every day. If I do a good job, I will pay more. Do you want to do it?"

Everyone looked at each other, they still haven't figured out what's going on, how come someone told them about the wages when they arrived at the beach, this is completely impossible when they worked for those aristocratic families in the past .

"Hey, you people, what are you doing? I will never treat you badly. Those who are skilled will do technical work, and those who are not skilled will do manual work.

As long as you are willing to work hard, I promise to pay wages once every ten days.Those who are willing to come with me, go to have a full meal with me first, and starting work today is also counted as a day's wages. "

When it comes to food, these men nodded. There is nothing more tempting than food, especially after they have walked for so many days, they have not eaten today, and they are already starving.

The fat man did not lie to them. After walking for two miles, the fat man took them to a work shed. The work shed was close to the sea and was full of busy people. It was lunch time, and all the iron pans were steaming. aroma.

"Old Hu, Lao Hu, where are you, hurry up and arrange meals for these people, there must be meat and soup, and keep them full.

Hurry up, I managed to recruit these dozens of people today, if you can't keep my mother, I will deduct your wages..."

There are many such sheds by the sea, all of which are temporary sheds serving the fishing industry. These foreign people can finally find jobs. This winter, they don't have to go hungry at home.

Chapter 243 Developing the Coast 1

To say that there are valuable things along the coast, to be honest, these ordinary people from other places really don’t know. After all, many of them have no idea about the ocean.

Even before they came, they didn't understand why they came to work in such a ghostly place.On this seaside, what else can there be besides the ocean and sand that cannot be seen?

However, the group of busy men in the work shed and the pots of delicious food let them put down all their troubles.

Those men who are working seem to have no time to talk to the new young men, and it seems that these men want to seize all the time to make money.

Even if they don't know what kind of job they will encounter now, if they can have these foods every day, they feel that it is enough.

"Line up, line up, don't mess up, take your time, and get your own food plate."

A group of men responsible for maintaining order waved wooden sticks, and their faces looked fierce, not because they were all villains.

It's just that those new men often don't know what queuing is, and you can't explain it to him no matter how you explain it. At this time, only the wooden stick is the best way to reason.

If you are disobedient, just knock with a stick. If you don't understand, just knock with a stick.
