Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Lu Changping looked around and objected firmly: "Auntie, Changle can run faster than me, let Changle carry the grain. If someone comes to rob him, I will stop them with you and let Changle run home."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Mrs. Lu thought for a while and agreed, then turned around and told Lu Changle: "Changle, if someone really comes to rob me, just run home, as fast as possible and leave us alone."

Lu Changle pursed his lips and nodded under the gazes of Mr. Lu and Lu Changping.

Villagers such as Yao Dazui and Liu Lezi have no such concerns.

Local villagers who meet the recruitment criteria come to the river embankment. Women and children over ten years old can earn wages. Since they know each other well, there is no need to worry about the other party causing mischief.

Living in a village, people could not see each other when they looked up and they were related by in-laws in just a few houses. It was not worth it to get into a fight just for a few dozen pennies.

When he learned that newly naturalized refugees could work in exchange for food, Yao Dazui was envious and jealous, so he went to Xu Lizheng and said, "Lizheng, can we also exchange food?"

Xu Lizheng glanced at Yao Dazui and said sternly: "Work-for-food is a special offer specially prepared by the Marquis for newly naturalized refugees. What, you also want to change your registered residence and become a refugee?"

Yao Dazui was so rebuffed by Xu Lizheng. She didn't panic and bravely put forward her own opinion: "We are all ordinary people who came to build the river embankment. Why should we exchange food for the newly naturalized refugees? Lizheng, my family is Dingduo." , I am a half-grown man living in poverty, and I don’t have much food left at home, so I also want to exchange my wages for food.”

Xu Lizheng noticed that some villagers came over to listen, and simply put the exchange of work for food on the table and said: "Don't think that the newly naturalized refugees are taking advantage. The newly naturalized refugees want land and food, and the old people at home have no money." The little ones opened their mouths waiting to eat.

The Marquis specially discussed with the county magistrate to pull out the old grain of the landlords and wealthy people who were in prison and sell it to the newly naturalized refugees at market prices. Don't be greedy, the quantity of that batch of old grain is not large, only one or two hundred dan, which is only enough to sell to the newly naturalized refugees, so that their families can have food to eat, so that they can build the river embankment here with peace of mind. "

The government's special supply of old grain to the refugees only amounted to one or two hundred dan, which was not enough for the people of Pingle Village to divide it among themselves.

When Yao Dazui heard Xu Lizheng's explanation, she no longer had any objections and said with emotion: "Master Hou really thinks about the refugees. Lizheng, aren't we here to collect stones? Why do we have to cut down trees?"

Xu Lizheng kept his temper and yelled loudly: "You can do whatever the Marquis ordered you to do, and stop asking! Go to work quickly!"

Seeing that Xu Lizheng really didn't want to talk to her, Yao Dazui didn't dare to ask any more questions and left angrily.

The mountain where Yao Dazui and others wanted to cut down trees to clear the road was called Xishan by the locals. The name was based on the direction and had no special meaning.

The vegetation in Xishan is prosperous and the slope is not small, making it difficult to clear the road.

People who come to do the work need to cut down trees from the foot of the mountain and carry branches to the designated location.

Xishan is a mountain without an owner, no, more precisely, Xishan is the mountain of Emperor Yong'an.

The stone, wood and soil on the west mountain belong to the county government.

When County Magistrate Wang and Huo Yunchao came to Xishan for inspection, he specifically told Huo Yunchao about his arrangements: "Yunchao, some trees are tall and straight, which are good materials for building beams. After they are cut down, they will be piled up. When the repairs are completed, The river embankments are then sold to the refugees to be used as rafters.”

Huo Yunchao had no idea about wood. He was very interested in the fertile soil: "Sir, after the trees are cleared, let the working people transport the fertile soil on the surface to the wasteland to be used as fertilizer."

County Magistrate Wang said jokingly and half seriously: "Then I have to collect fertilizer money from you."

Huo Yunchao readily agreed: "Sir, I don't take advantage of the public. I use sweet potatoes to pay for fertilizer."

Magistrate Wang expressed his deep agreement: "Yun Chao, you did the right thing. If all the landlords and wealthy people had such an awareness as you, how could they end up dead without a whole body?"

Huo Yunchao pretended to be shocked: "Sir, why do your words sound so awkward? I am different from those landowners who are greedy for wealth! Three generations of my ancestors were born with mud legs!"

Magistrate Wang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Yun Chao, you have to block me with words to prevent me from getting off the stage, right?"

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't think so." Huo Yunchao took the lead in making a truce and forced the topic back to the topic: "Okay, okay, sir, let's make a truce. Don't start this useless war of words and continue talking about Xishan's arrangements."

Magistrate Wang deliberately reminded Huo Yunchao: "Yunchao, God is not as good as man. No matter how perfect the response strategy you envision is, there will be many flaws in the actual implementation."

He was worried that Huo Yunchao would suffer a setback and never recover. That would be a huge loss.

Magistrate Wang could never find another helper who had more appeal to the people and strong execution ability than Huo Yunchao.

Huo Yunchao wrote down what County Magistrate Wang said word for word.

He naturally knows that there is no perfect plan in this world. Basically, it is all about crossing the river by touching stones. If you are unfortunate enough to step on a man-eating whirlpool, then consider yourself unlucky.

Butcher Xu is a man who is restless and the father-in-law of Pinglehou. He volunteered to come to Xishan to work as a supervisor. Magistrate Wang had no reason to refuse. Xu Butcher's character and ability are fully sufficient to take on the responsibility of supervisor. .

Huo Yunchao held the restless little Fubao with one hand, and lifted the straw curtain on the carriage with the other hand so that his fat daughter could see the scenery outside the carriage.

"Daddy, bird!"

Little Fubao stayed at home every day, and suddenly she was riding a carriage with her parents in the vast wilderness. Her eyes turned left and right, and she was very busy, shouting "Daddy" incessantly.

While coaxing the fat girl, Huo Yunchao shared his plan with Xu Ning: "The top of the West Mountain is made of stones that can be used to bake cement. Once the stones for building river embankments are collected, we can use local materials to bake cement for reinforcement. River embankment. If there is any leftover cement, I plan to build a school at the foot of the West Mountain."

Xu Ning has a strong ability to recognize directions. She drew a few strokes on Huo Yunchao's arm with her fingers: "Build a school at the foot of the West Mountain? This is a good location. It is very convenient for the three nearby villages to send their children to school. But the school If it is built by the river, will there be children who sneak away to swim while the master is not paying attention?"

Huo Yunchao smiled: "That's what the master and parents should worry about."

Xu Ning said embarrassedly: "Mr. sir, did I say something stupid again that made people laugh?"

Huo Yunchao shook his head: "Silly words? No, no, you are just considering it from the perspective of being a mother. How can it be said to be stupid? I am only responsible for building the school, and I may participate in the revision of teaching materials in the future. As for management, I don’t care about the students’ details, I can’t take care of them, I don’t have that much energy to take care of them.”

Xu Ning nodded. She knew how busy Huo Yunchao was: "Mr. sir, you said last time that you would build a farming training school? Also build one at the foot of the Western Mountain?"
