A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

Jian Ping's house has not been built yet, but several workshops in the middle area have been built.Although no one knew exactly what Jian Ping was going to do, no one doubted that Jian Ping was going to do something big.

After Tian Da's family helped Tian Wen collect all the corn stalks in the field, and even leveled the ground, Jian Ping suddenly announced something that was definitely a big deal in the eyes of Jian's villagers—— Buy corn stalks.

One penny and ten catties, from the pole to the leaf are bought.

For a moment, the people in Jian's Village were going crazy.Corn stalks are mostly dried in the sun and burned as firewood in previous years.

And now, Jian Ping actually said that he wanted to buy it?Moreover, the price is still as high as one penny for ten catties.

People who don't understand farming may think that ten catties is a lot, but because of the moisture contained in the undried corn stalks, one can weigh less than half a catty.

Ten catties, for those who grow corn, it is really not much.Calculated in this way, the corn stalks alone for one mu of land can bring nearly a hundred yuan of income to the family.

Ten mu of land is almost a tael of silver!

For a moment, everyone was shocked.In this shock, the Tian family was the most angry.The corn stalks collected so hard turned out to be someone else's.

In other words, almost all the one or two taels of silver they earned after their hard work became Tian Wen's property.

Tian Jin, Tian Yin and others were so angry that they sat at home and didn't want to move, and Tian Qian was even more so angry that he lay on the bed and couldn't move.

As for the two people with the least reaction from everyone in Tian, ​​one was tired from work for several days and didn't want to bother with the other Tian Datian Tongshu who just wanted to take a good rest.

The other one is Tian Yu, who is taciturn, never says much, and never let people notice that she doesn't care about anything at all.

In the eyes of others, Jian Ping acted like crazy, and almost let the corn stalks in Jian's village submerge the entire Jian's family.

Fortunately, Jian Ping's recruiting actions were not so fast, so this incident did not happen at least.

Jian Ping recruits people from the poorest families in the village regardless of relatives and friends.Even if there is no male in that family, even if it is a woman or a child, a place will be given.

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone in the village could tell that Jian Ping wanted to subsidize the villagers.For a while, everyone was in different moods, but no one looked for Jian Ping without winking.

After all, everyone in Jian's Village could see that the village guard team was controlled by Jian Ping.If they really wanted to find something to do, I'm afraid they would be the ones who would end up with something wrong.

As for Jian Ping's rule, Widow Wang's family naturally included one of them.Widow Wang was not allowed to come, but his eight-year-old son, Wang Ping'an, took the lead.

The job content is extremely easy and simple, that is, peel the corn stalks collected by Jian Ping, leaving only a bare stalk, and then cut the bare corn stalks into one-foot-long sections.

Such a simple job, even Jian Ping's Shuanzi can do it with ease.

The wages are five yuan a day, the work is four hours, and one meal is taken care of at noon.From Jian Ping's point of view, this can definitely be regarded as the exploitation of child labor, but from the point of view of the people in Jian's Village, Jian Ping is almost like a kind person.

So Jian Ping took it for granted that he followed the wishes of the villagers of Jian's family and put away his crocodile tears.

Because the work is very simple, the eight families recruiting workers are all children around ten years old.In this way, the subsidy is really a subsidy, and it will not delay their own farm work too much.

After all, a new round of sowing is imminent.

The first process uses children.But the second pressing process uses the strong labor of some people in the village who have no land.After all, Jian's Village is a merged village, because of the war, many families merged into Jian's Village.

But these families may not all have fields.Thinking about the fact that even Jian Ping's family ended up with only fifteen acres of land, one can imagine how tense the fields here are.

In the past, if those families didn't rely on some ancestral crafts, or some money earned by the family members going out to work, I am afraid that they would not be able to survive long ago.

But even so, those families are almost the people with the worst living conditions in Jian's village.

This time, Jian Ping directly recruited [-] people, working in groups of five in four shifts around the clock.And their job is to squeeze the juice.

Juicing the corn stalks processed by those children, under the circumstances that Jian Ping himself did not expect much profit, this kind of pure labor work does not require any skills, these people naturally have no problem, each person is ten per day Wenqian's wages made those people work efficiently, even Jian Ping was amazed at it.

Jian Ping had thought of this plan a long time ago, so he asked Jian Feng's master Lu Carpenter to help make the pressing equipment.Of course, the wages and material money are not missing the other party at all.

This kind of pressing equipment is nothing new in this dynasty. After all, the sugar industry and oil extraction industry have been skilled workers for hundreds of years.

Although ordinary people still don't know the hidden key, tools like this are still very common.

This time, Jian Ping asked Jian An to do the supervision.And at the family meeting, he directly said that he would help the brothers find a craft, but they would do it in order.

As for why Jian Feng became a teacher first, the other two brothers didn't think there was any problem.After all, their eldest brother sent all three of them there at the beginning, and it was the result of Jian An and Jian Shun's lack of talent.

So when they heard that Jian Ping had found a way out for each of the brothers, Jian's family became enthusiastic again.

What Jian Ping gave to Jian An was to squeeze sugar.Although the probability of extracting sugar from something like corn stalks is simply not directly proportional to the cost required, Jian Ping never thought about letting Jian An use corn stalks to do this for the rest of his life.

To be precise, corn stalks are just something that Jian Ping gave Jian An to practice.It has been planned for the coming year, and the sugar cane to be planted is the real thing for sugar extraction.

As for the corn stalks, after Jian An practiced squeezing the sugar by hand, the remaining materials were all used to make briquette feed.Even the rough sugar squeezed out of corn stalks is to be used as feed for military horses.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

Bai Huankong gave Jian Ping 5000 taels of silver to buy grain and grass, but this 'grain and grass' can do a lot.

30 catties of grain, even if Jian Ping had the ability to buy it, he would not have the guts to do so. After all, if Bai Huankong wanted to use his shortcoming to "accidentally" make him hang up the label of treason, that would be crying without tears .

So anyway, it is military food and grass, whether it is for people or for war horses, so there is no need to worry so much.

The food will be collected in the last season, and I think it will not be too little with my own ability.But this kind of horse feed can be prepared in advance, and maybe it can make a lot of money.

Anyway, Jian Ping didn't believe it, who would dare to accuse himself of violating a certain law just because he got some livestock feed.

If that was the case, and the court accepted the case, then Jian Ping could only admit that he was unlucky and lament that he had traveled through a dynasty where everyone thought they were animals.

After handing over the skill of squeezing sugar to Jian An, Jian Ping's affairs seemed to be less.But in fact, not much less.

Because of the bumper harvest of Jian Ping's corn in the last crop, the people in Jian's Village have decided to continue planting corn in the next crop.

After all, Jian Ping even bought corn stalks, and the villagers felt that planting corn was a good thing.With the good seeds, the interplanting technology that Jian Ping gave them, and the fact that even corn stalks can be sold for money, planting corn has become a very good thing.

For this matter, Jian Ping was naturally very supportive.After all, beans and grains can be counted as food for war horses, right?

What's more, in winter, Douzi can help him make another fortune.

After all, profitable business is not always available, so Jian Dazhu and Jian Shun can only be responsible for the family's farming.

However, Jian Ping is not the kind of person who is willing to treat his family badly, so when Jian's family was farming, he directly found ten strong laborers in the village to help, and together they cleaned up the fifteen acres of Jian's land.

If it was in previous years, to be precise, it was in those years before the war started.During the busy farming season, it is really not easy to find helpers.

It's a pity that because of a war, this kind of natural thing has gone a little bit wrong.After all, when there is no land at home, no matter how hardworking you are, you can't be busy during the busy farming season.

On the third day of the workshop's opening, Jian Ping directly said that it was a sugar mill under the inquiries of all parties.And on the tenth day when everyone had done almost all the farm work in the field and planted the corn seeds, Jian's workshop had already released the news that the sugar had been successfully squeezed out.

This news is not false, but the sweetness of this kind of sugar is very low and it is still rough sugar. If it is to be sold to people, I am afraid it is really worthless.

However, Jian An has learned a full set of sugar extraction, purification, evaporation, crystallization, secretion and drying techniques, and Jian Ping also has the pretense of "successful production".

Therefore, people in Jian's Village also took it for granted that it was normal for the Jian's family, who could squeeze out sugar, to make a lot of money.

As for the fact that Jian Ping took the money out of the 5000 taels of silver given by Bai Huankong, and the sugar and fodder that the villagers thought were sold were all put into the cellar at the back of Jian’s house. , it is not clear to others.

On the surface, Jian Ping finally has money, and he can finally build his ideal residence properly.

And as Jian Ping's ideal other half, and someone who is already in love with each other and ready to form a bond, Tian Wen's thoughts are naturally also a very important aspect.

After all, if there were no major accidents, this house would be where the two of them would live for a long time in the future.

Excitedly, Jian Ping took a stack of drawings and went to Tian's house to find Tian Wen.After all, Tian Wen rarely came to Jian's house because every household was busy with farming during this time.
