This land was contracted by me [farming]

In order to take better care of the white wax worms, Zhao Keran specially recruited people to be wax farmers.

Another short-term training class was opened for personal training, and only those who passed the training could enter the job.

Only ten people were selected out of more than [-] people. Fortunately, there was a young man named Sun Xiaoniu who had a bright mind, was careful, and studied very well.

Even under Zhao Keran's strict assessment, they can still get excellent.

After the assessment, Zhao Keran directly promoted him to be the team leader and put him in charge of the white wax worm.

Salaries are signed separately.

Hearing Sun Xiaoniu's good news that he passed the assessment of the county magistrate, he will work for the yamen in the future.

The whole family of the Sun family bowed and bowed in the direction of the yamen.

"You are lucky, you have won the eyes of the county magistrate. Don't be lazy in the future, or you will only be a coolie for the rest of your life just like your father and me."

Father-in-law told his son in earnest.

Grandpa Sun was very happy for his grandson to get this good job, but when he heard his son say this, his face sank again, and he asked worriedly: "Then the Wang family still won't let him go?"

Grandfather nodded and sighed: "It is said that I signed some contract before, and I will work for his family for 60 years. Liu reacted quickly at that time, and said that we have never pressed pictures on bamboo slips and silk in these years.

But the person in charge didn't know where it came from. There was a piece of cloth with fingerprints all over it.He also said that it was written on it that after the descendants tied their hair, if there was no other living contract, it would be tacitly agreed that they would also work as coolies for the Wang family for 60 years.

The big Liu's family just had their hair tied up, and they didn't have any special work to do, so they could only do odd jobs.A few days ago, I was led to move goods with Da Liu.

That small body was pressed down by several sacks, and I was afraid that the baby wouldn't be able to get up. "

Grandfather looked at Sun Xiaoniu, rubbed his chest, and said happily: "Fortunately, Xiaoniu fell in love with the county magistrate. If he is really drawn to the Wang family to work as a coolie, this life will be over."

Grandpa Sun glanced at his son, then at his grandson, and was silent for a while, as if he was recalling the past.

He said slowly, "Before the county magistrate came, our family would be very grateful to the Wang family for this move. You will not make a fuss about leaving, just to sign up for the county government's recruitment."

Grandpa Sun sighed, "Hey, there is something good to look forward to in this day, and everyone wants it, so life is not easy in the first place. Son, Maverick has a good job now, and you are content. Your arms can't twist your thighs. , if this continues, the Wang family may not make it easier for us..."

Grandpa's feet rubbed against the ground back and forth, bringing up a circle of loess dust around him.He looked at the tattered straw sandals on his feet, and said in a muffled voice: "Some people at the dock were unloading and moving goods for another family, and there was a man named Ge Laoer, who was the first to follow the county magistrate back then.

We all laughed at him at the time, saying that he was deceived by lard, that he was leaving now, and that he would not even be able to earn money for hard work in the future.

But now he is the captain of the guard, and the monthly payment for one month is something we can't keep up with if we move goods and move for a year.And that Liu Da, from the same village as Ge Laoer, brought a group of people to sign up for the oil mill opened by the county magistrate a few years ago.

At the end of the year, the county magistrate gave them a gift. It is said that they put on the same clothes as the stove, as well as shoes and bedding.The only one in Jingyang City.

After giving gifts, they are allowed to rest, and the days of rest are also counted as money.Coolies like us can memorize these words. "

Grandfather stopped rubbing the ground and said, "Father, I don't ask for anything. I just want to buy a pair of cloth shoes for my family. I don't want to wear straw sandals anymore."

Mrs. Sun and Sun's mother secretly wiped away tears when they heard this. Their family even wore their clothes tight for work.

Not long after my grandfather got married, he worked day and night to make clothes for the mother and daughter-in-law.

Because of this, he was crushed by the goods and lost half his life, and he suffered a lot, so he just survived.

The clothes of Mrs. Sun and Sun's mother have never been changed since then.

Both of them wash their laundry separately, so that whoever wants to go out can wear the other person's clothes.

Sun Xiaoniu remained silent all this time. Seeing that the adults were silent, he took out a deed and said, "Father, mother, grandma. We don't have to worry about our family life in the future. Dad, wait for my first month's monthly payment." If it is issued, we can buy two pairs of cloth shoes and two clothes for each of the big family, and we will wear them interchangeably.

Didn't the Wang family say that it's okay to leave, but if they want to give them ten taels of silver, then we will give it.The county magistrate said that the monthly payment can be paid in advance, just give him a report and put a deposit on the certificate.I will pay for five months at that time, and you can leave after handing it over to the stepfather of the Wang family.

I asked the county magistrate, he is going to open another oil mill in the east, and construction has already started.It won't be long before we have to recruit people. Dad, you just go to sign up and try. "

Grandpa Sun didn't listen to what Sun Xiaoniu said later, he just said in surprise: "Grandson, how much money will the county magistrate give you this month?"

Sun Xiaoniu said: "Two taels of silver. The adults said that I am some kind of technician, and I have several people under my command. I have to lead people to watch over the large forest, so I can't make mistakes.

So the prescription for me is different from others, because I have to be responsible for something.I don't quite understand what the adults said, but I do know one thing, that is to work hard for the adults. "

Thinking of Zhao Keran's words, Sun Xiaoniu was a little scared, "My lord said that if I can't do well, but there are people below who do well, then my team leader will do it for those who do well. I must do well, and I will be a lifelong leader. Team leader, take two taels of silver for a lifetime!"

Everyone in the Sun family was speechless by Sun Xiaoniu's shock, and Sun's mother opened her mouth for a long time before she found her own voice, "Son, is it true that the county magistrate will give you two taels of silver a month?"

Sun Xiaoniu nodded, and he handed the deed to the front, "It's written in the deed, so can it be fake?"

Grandpa Sun came back to his senses, slapped his thigh, and his whole body was full of energy, "Grandson, even if you are working hard, you have to do it well for your lord!"

Sun Xiaoniu nodded seriously, agreeing.The whole family gathered around to read the contract. Although no one could understand the words on it, everyone's eyes were full of hope.

This hard day is coming to an end.

The Sun family discussed for a whole night, and finally decided to "redeem" their grandfather.The county government will soon be recruiting people, and they need to be strong and strong.Grandfather's body is still strong now, and he can earn a few more years.

There is a big difference between earning a few years in the yamen and earning a few years in the Wang family.

...

When the wax farmers were officially working, Xu Jun sent someone to the county government.

The people came in a hurry, anxious to see Zhao Keran.After Du Youwei, the gatekeeper, verified the other party's identity, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately led him to the study.

"My lord, the general sent me here to inform, according to the urgent report from the front. For some reason, the refugees who stayed in other cities last year gathered and rushed towards Jingyang."

Before Zhao Keran had time to inquire carefully, Du Youwei came with another person.

It was Zhao Si who guarded the city gate, and it was also the county government office where he led Zhao Keran back then.

"My lord, many people came from the south and blocked the gate of the city. They said they escaped from the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. They walked all the way for a few months, and if they didn't say anything, they would go to the city to make a living."

The refugees from the border will come, Zhao Keran can figure it out.

But it is indeed very unusual to flee from the south.

But now that people are here, many things are much easier to handle.

He said to the people sent by Xu County: "Tell your general, Mintun has manpower now, and this refugee is also a citizen. I will discuss the specific matters with him after two days."

After the soldier remembered Zhao Keran's words, he hurried back to return his orders.

Zhao Keran said to Zhao Si again: "Stop the people outside first, and wait until the yamen sends people to investigate.

Huo Yuan worked quickly, and within an hour or so he figured out the reasons for the refugees from Jiangnan.

It turned out that Zhang Shihai hadn't properly handled the post-disaster relief in July, and there wasn't that much grain in the granary in Jiangnan Mansion for relief.

After a few months of suffering, large pieces were starved to death.

They heard from the clerk in the yamen that there were herds of cattle and sheep in Jingyang City where Mr. Zhang stayed before.

There is endless meat.

When they summed it up, Marshal Huo is currently in charge of Qingyu Pass.In this way, he is not as afraid of the border war as before.They are so hungry and just want to eat.

However, not many people from the south of the Yangtze River ended up in Jingyang, and some went to other cities halfway.

They're all handcrafted.

The rest are just farming.But these, as long as an individual in Dayuan can do it.

They couldn't find a way out, so they could only bite the bullet and eat leaves and bark all the way to Jingyang.

There is only one belief in my heart, and I have to eat a bite of beef and mutton before I die.

Fengyang, Xie Mansion.

"Prime Minister, Zhang Shihai sent a letter saying that he had already notified the cities with refugees on the border. He also secretly spread the news on the Jiangnan side. Many people were persuaded to go to Jingyang. Counting the days, it's only a few days. We're all here."

Xie Xuan leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The afternoon sun shone on his body through the window screen, creating a sense of warmth.

He swung his hands back, slowly opened his eyes, and there was a frightening light in the cloudy eyes.

Thinking that at the beginning, he devoted himself to assisting Chu Zibo, but Chu Zibo turned against him and resigned his marriage to marry the girl of the Huo family.

He regarded Zhao Wenyu as a close friend, but now Zhao Wenyu was standing by Chu Wenjue's side against his peace party.

The prince is dead, he has nothing to worry about.But Zhao Wenyu, you old man, don't blame me for being cruel.

But now it's not only the Zhao family but also the Feng family who are against him, and he can't treat one more favorably than another.

Xie Xuan called for someone to come, who was dressed in black and skillfully moved through the window to enter.

"Go to Qingyuguan to find Zhao Sanming, and let him find a way to smash the road to the mutual market supervisor."

The man in black took the order to leave and left quietly.

Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.Want to build a good relationship with the tribes in the west before attacking Beidan Xijue?Chu Wenjue, you are still a little tender.

This battle has been fought for so many years, and it is already devastated.Even the aristocratic family has been injured. If we don't stop it, Da Yuan will be consumed by the war sooner or later.

If Chu Zibo hadn't died, presumably he was already on his way to negotiate with the Zhuhe faction.

What a pity, what a pity...

The author has something to say: Lao Xie's brain circuit and Xiao Chu are not on the same channel.

There are a lot of things going on recently, and I originally thought about looking for a job after moving.

As a result, I did not expect to find the author for a job.

It was too sudden, and there was no manuscript.The original day shift always asks for leave due to work reasons.

I'm really sorry, everyone has to wait for updates every time.I try to save as many manuscripts as possible in the past two days, woo woo woo.
