Chapter 39 Responsibilities assigned to each household



Xiao Jing looked at Zhang Yongfu's uncertain and disappointed face, and he understood. He stepped forward and patted Zhang Yongfu on the shoulder and said: "Village chief, the workshop that Mrs. Yuan and I are working together is built here in your village. There will be many people coming and going in the future. You are the head of the village. Our small workshop, I still have to rely on you to take care of me!"

Zhang Yongfu is a little embarrassed. He is a small person, so he, a big shot, still needs to take care of his workshop!

Hearing what Xiao Jing said, he just smiled and nodded, "As long as you are useful to the common people, the common people will definitely live up to your trust!"

Xiao Jing nodded with satisfaction, "I'll have to worry about the village chief from now on! I wonder if the village chief is free tonight, and can you give me a favor tonight? How many more drinks can we have? Invite a few villagers, and we'll have a good drink tonight. how?"

Zhang Yongfu was so flattered that he didn't expect that this adult would think so highly of him that he would invite him to drink! What an honor it is to be personally invited by this lord! This adult thinks highly of himself!

He couldn't help but feel happy, and then he thought again. Although Yuan Chuyi had built this workshop in cooperation with this gentleman, it was still built in their village. This gentleman didn't care about anything. No matter how awesome Yuan Chuyi was, he was still a woman. At home, I am still the head of a village, and I still have the final say on what happens in the village.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongfu suddenly became happy again. He cupped his hands with a beaming smile and said, "Thank you for your kind invitation. The common people will be more respectful than to obey!"

Xiao Jing laughed, "Okay, then we've decided to have a good drink tonight!"

Yuan Chuyi didn't know that she had to prepare a lot of barbecue ingredients. She was now bringing fifteen or sixteen boiled chicken feet at home. Just because Xiao Jing said she wanted to eat chicken feet, in order to satisfy the prince's appetite, she had to go to the city and go to several restaurants to buy all their chicken feet. When she felt it was not enough, she secretly exchanged it from the mall. I brought a few kilograms of fresh ones back together and started preparing them.

After Xiao Jing made an agreement with the village chief, looking at the endless western mountains, he suddenly became excited, called the five guards and Xuan Yue and went into the mountains to hunt. Now that they're gone, they won't have to make lunch on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. But she was not idle. She just boiled the chicken feet and soaked them in cold water. Cheng Zhongping, Zhu Dahu and others came. They are not looking for trouble, but come to Yuanchu Yi to take them to identify the land.

"Why are you so anxious? You just arrived yesterday. Have you settled down at home?" On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he had already agreed with them that they would not start work until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Boss, we are all here, and we have nothing to do. We want to see where the land is and how you will arrange our work. We have a good idea!"

When Yuanchu saw the expectation in their eyes, he couldn't bear to brush off their good intentions, so he took them to the wasteland on the other side of the road, pointed at the vast wasteland, and said: "This wasteland is mine, and so is the wasteland." You are about to open up wasteland."

"It's all wasteland..." The hired workers suddenly started whispering, "We need to open up wasteland and plant it again!"

"Yes! How can we do this?"

Yuan Chuyi looked at them, "When we were recruiting people yesterday, I made it clear that it was a wasteland! However, if you really don't want to stay, you can still leave! You can leave now!"

Cheng Zhongping said hurriedly, "Master, we are not leaving, we are all following your orders!"

Yuan Chuyi looked at everyone and saw that no one was leaving, so she led them into the field and pointed to the wasteland, "There are more than three hundred acres here in total. I have other uses for the few acres on the roadside and have already divided them!" I have divided the remaining 300 acres into 15 blocks of 20 acres each. As for you, two people from each household will work on it, so each of your families is responsible for one block."

When the chief clerk brought someone to measure the land, she asked the chief clerk to help her divide the land. Now it is much easier. In this way, in addition to intensive farming, she also needs to divide the fields into households and divide the responsibilities well, so that some people can't cheat and cheat because they want to eat from the big pot.

"Boss, how should we start work? Should we choose a foreman?" someone asked with a smile.

Yuanchu smiled and shook his head, "Without a foreman, I don't care how you work or farm. I just want you to open up the land and plant the crops I designated. When the time comes to harvest, you will have a good harvest and complete the tasks I assigned." Just live! In a word, in addition to being responsible for me, you must be responsible for yourself! If someone wants to cheat and don't cultivate well, resulting in a poor harvest in the field, then you can't blame me! If who planted it If the harvest is the best, then I will also be rewarded!"

Yuan Chuyi said with a smile, but the majesty revealed in his words was undeniable.

"Don't worry, boss, we will work hard!" Everyone said one after another. They were all farmers and had been good at farming, so no one among so many people thought about being lazy and messing around.

"Boss, our land hasn't been planted yet. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the spring plowing!" Cheng Zhongping said worriedly.

If two people open twenty acres of wasteland, they will have to dig until the end of the year of the monkey!

"It doesn't matter, we will use oxen to plow this wasteland and we will make it in time!" Yuanchu said with a smile, she had already prepared!

Of the 300 taels of silver I got from selling medicine, I spent less than 100 taels on land. The remaining money was just enough to buy cattle!

Cattle are very expensive these days, and the cheapest ones only cost a dozen. But for farming, this cow is indispensable. With the cows, the yamen will also give her a complete set of farming tools free of charge according to the number of cows. In this way, she can not only save a lot of money on purchasing farm tools, but also greatly increase the speed of farming. Why not do it. She had ordered the cattle from the cattle dealer a few days ago. Once the cattle arrived and the balance was paid, she would take the cattle back and raise them, and then each household would be allocated one cow.

"There are cows!"

The hired workers were in an uproar. Cattle are so expensive that ordinary people simply cannot afford to buy them, and farming relies on manpower. If they had cattle to plow the land, they would clear up wasteland and cultivate the land much faster.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, after taking her guys to see the land, she took everyone back to the yard and asked Shiliu to prepare fifteen paper balls for the employees to draw lots. Whoever drew the number of the lot would be responsible for the number of the land. The employees thought this method was fair, so they still drew lots, and the fifteen plots of land were quickly divided among households.

There are diligent people who go to work in the fields after receiving the land. But on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they discovered that their method of clearing land was to cut grass and cut trees, then pile them into piles and burn them.

She couldn't help but sigh, how slow this method was.

"Then what method can be used to open the ground faster?" Everyone looked at her with eager eyes.

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he pointed to the ground and said, "First clear an open space at the foot of the mountain to serve as a fire break, then light a fire at the foot of the mountain, and light a fire here, and burn both ends together. With such a small amount of land, it will take a few hours to burn it all." Got it!"

Everyone looked at each other, "Can you still do this?"
