Chapter XXVI Distribution according to work
The next day, the big action on the west bank of the Yaoshui River was still going on, Qiao Lan didn't study the farming book at home today, she walked a few fat powder shops, only to find a kind of flour fat with glutinous rice as the base in a time-honored store, without any taste, she bought three boxes in one go. When she got home, she immediately entered the space, pasted on the grease, cut some hair and stuck it on her eyebrows with the rivers and lakes, and looked in the mirror.
Qiao Lan washed off her makeup, and she was not in a hurry about the silver at this time, she just had a bottom in her heart. She first went to check the large tank where her precious sweet potatoes were grown. The large water tank is placed in the middle of the outer courtyard, which is easy to attract people's eyes and ears, so Qiao Lan ordered that the door must not be opened, and even when she goes out by herself, she only opens it a little, just enough to enter and exit.
After looking at the potato seedlings that seemed to have grown a little longer, Qiao Lan returned to the inner courtyard and put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she had to steal the part of the notebook about sweet potato planting and write it in the words of the ancients, and let Yu Dana figure it out by herself, and he would help her preside over the overall situation in the future.
In the evening of this day, Yu Dana invited the officials to eat and drink in the restaurant, each of them gave two taels of silver as a hardship fee, and then sent it to the inn to rest, and then returned to Guangfu Hutong.
Hearing that Mrs. Zhang said that Yu Dana was back, Qiao Lan hurriedly came out, and when she heard Yu Dana say that those officials actually allocated nearly 1,800 acres of land for her, a whole thousand acres more, Rao was mentally prepared Qiao Lan was also shocked, okay, she didn't wear glasses, but she was very surprised. She knew that with the orders of the county order, those officials (in fact, their feet) would not be merciful, but she didn't expect to be so "merciless".
Yu Dana said that it was because he saw the traces of wild boar activities, and those officials stopped, otherwise......
Qiao Lan didn't dislike the extra 1,000 acres of forest land, what she thought was that she had to get a sum of money as soon as possible, digging a trench around half an 800 mu and digging a trench around half a 1,800 mu was not a level project at all.
Early the next morning, Yu Dana followed the officials to Lishan County. He didn't know that the landlord Zhang came to the county seat last night, and he came to Zhu Qishan early in the morning, wanting to see if there was room for turning, but Zhu Qishan only played with him haha, he despised Landlord Zhang a little, so he came to intervene at this time, why did he go earlier.
When Zhu Qishan was fighting with Zhang Dizhu, the people below reported that the people on the west bank came, and Zhu Qishan hurriedly let people in. Seeing the anxious landlord Zhang, Yu Dana instantly understood what his idea was, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about this sideways, but when he saw the enthusiastic Zhu Qishan, his heart was settled.
Zhu Qishan is not taboo Zhang landlord, on the spot let the leader of the team Liu Tu send a report, learned that those officials actually helped him win an extra thousand acres of political achievements, immediately happy and forgetful, even what Zhang landlord said just now was also left behind by him, immediately began to handle the title deed for Yu Dana, only to see him wave his big hand, the official seal was stamped, Yu Dana had an extra land deed.
The matter was settled, Zhu Qishan didn't want to keep Yu Dana, Yu Dana was not an eyeless person, and he left under the pretext of being in a hurry to go back to his life.
Landlord Zhang just watched him miss the West Bank, blocking his flesh all over his body in throbbing, but the matter has been decided, so let him put his beak, he wants to go back and think about how else to plan, Zhu Qishan, who was perfunctory just now, pulled him to talk at this time, bluntly said where the wasteland is good, and asked him if he wanted to buy it.
If this is put on hold, Zhu Qishan must be an excellent real estate manager, under his coercion and temptation, the landlord Zhang is dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, there is bitterness can not be said, who let him send himself to the door to the county magistrate to slaughter it, stunned to pay 500,000 taels to buy 500 acres of wasteland ten miles east of Lishan County, 500 taels is not much, but the follow-up taxes have to be given every year...... Zhu Qishan also wanted the official to re-measure, knowing how the greasy landlord Zhang was willing to agree, and hurriedly said that the old lady was not in good health, and could not be delayed, and begged the county magistrate to give him a land deed of 500 acres on the spot.
I wish Qishan a good mood, he has just taken office, and the land in Lishan County is more than 2,300 acres, and it has been proved that he has a great talent for being an official, and he can't wait to see this year's county newspaper, I don't know if his upper peak Qinzhou Governor Lu will commend him one or two.
It is said that Yu Dana returned to Wuli Town and handed over the title deed to Qiao Lan. A thin land deed, proving that she has an extra 1,800 acres of land under her name, Qiao Lan is very excited, think about herself, come through time and space, in just ten days, she has changed from a poor and white girl to a local tyrant with considerable assets, she is really a local tyrant, with a full 1,800 acres, and at the same time, her idea of getting silver has also become urgent.
That night, Qiao Lan quietly returned to Qingshan Village, excitedly walked around the land on the west bank and circled, at night, she seemed to rest in the small thatched hut built for her by Xie Jinbao and Chen Yueya, but in fact, she slept comfortably in the space, and then left Qingshan Village in the mist when the sky was slightly bright.
In the middle of August, when it is hot, Qingshan Village is located in the green mountains and green waters, but it is much cooler than other places, and the early morning is even cooler.
Feng Qixiang led the frightening wind, slowly walking on the country road in Qingshan Village, he liked the early morning in this place very much, cool is one thing, the most important thing is to be quiet enough, there are no flies that disturb him......
A slender figure appeared in front of him, Feng Qixiang's good mood suddenly fell to the bottom, he just wanted to avoid it, but the other party avoided it one step ahead of him, and avoided it very thoroughly, as if he had never been there at all.
In the space, Qiao Lan patted her chest and soothed her heart that was beating too fast: scared me to death, why is he here? What the hell is going on with this thing, either pretending to be a woman or pretending to be a goblin?
Yu Da got the wharf to recruit coolies, a salary of 35 yuan a day, and a meal. Although the West Bank is a bit dangerous, although it is busy with farming, there are still many people who enthusiastically sign up, although Yu Dana is in a hurry to recruit enough for a hundred short-term workers, but it is not that those who come do not refuse, women do not want, young and old do not want, thin do not want, only forty-eight people were recruited on the first day.
The next day, the recruitment continued, and in the evening, the 100-person coolie brigade finally recruited enough.
Dana Yu could not write, but his memory was surprisingly good, and he could name ninety-five of them out of a hundred. That night, Yu Dana told Qiao Lan that her father was also in the coolie team.
Qiao Lan was a little surprised, she remembered that the Chen family not only planted their own land, but also tenanted the landlord's land, adding up to thirty acres, when the farm was busy, the whole family was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, this is almost the autumn harvest, how could the Chen family let Chen Shenghua come out to do work, and as far as Chen Shenghua's body can sit and never stand, can lie down and never sit lazy bones, she is even willing?
Early that morning, Yu Dana led his coolie brigade to Qingshan Village, arrived at the west bank, and plunged into the forest. Many people passed on "Qiao's Dasha finally attacked", and everyone was waiting to see Qiao's Dasha's jokes. In the forests on the west bank, the news that the coolie brigade was cutting down trees and digging up the roots of the trees soon came out, and those who knew about it were stunned, if they built a wall, wouldn't it be stronger to rely on the big trees, and why did they cut them down instead? Not to mention that they were confused, even the coolie brigade did not know what to do. It doesn't matter if they don't understand, the Lord ordered them to cut down trees along the stakes of wood that were driven into the ground and dig out the roots, and they just cut down the trees and dig up the roots, anyway, they are all people who work and get paid.
One hundred people, Yu Dana supervised the work alone, a little too much, some people worked very hard in front of him, as soon as he turned around, he began to steal and play tricks, among which Chen Shenghua was the most excessive, but Yu Dana really couldn't just look at him. He instructed Fang Xiaoyong to go a few more times, and if it was too much, he would come and tell him that he would warn him again.
At noon, Yu Dana arranged a rather large cornmeal steamed bun, two per person, plus a bowl of gruel, no matter how big the amount of food was, it was full.
The next day, the coolie team was sparsely pulled to the west bank, a little earlier and a little later, horizontal and vertical counted as a day, some people were used to being careless, seeing that so many people were already waiting there, and their feet still walked unhurriedly. Chen Shenghua is obviously from Qingshan Village, but he is the last one.
Yu Dana did not let the coolie brigade start work immediately, and after most of the people arrived, he announced that the work was distributed according to work, that is to say, those who work more get more, and they can't work hard, today he is outside the forest, according to the size of the tree, ranging from five to thirty yuan, one tree is counted as one, and it is settled on the spot.
Everyone present was stunned, only the group of lazy people came back first. The financial road was cut off, and this was repaid, those who had the idea of fishing in troubled waters coaxed one after another, and the others did not coax, but they all pestle stupidly, they have always calculated according to the day, what is the distribution according to work, and then ...... There are two groups of people who are different, that is, the four brothers of the Feng family in Taohua Village (the same village as Yu Dana) and the three brothers of the Li family in Lijia Village.
Yu Dana weighed the two trees and paid Feng Dalang and Li Youmu five copper plates each, and in such a short time, the two families earned five copper plates, which is amazing, more cost-effective than the day. Yesterday, I really had to do the work to understand it, and the fresh settlement method of distributing according to work is more beneficial to them, move quickly, and can earn much more than the original in a day, someone is still counting how many roots he dug up in a day yesterday, and after seeing that someone has run to cut down trees, he suddenly can't take care of it, copy the tools, and catch up.
The dozen or so people still wanted to shout, but the more than eighty people around them had disappeared in an instant, and they suddenly stopped, stopped squeaking, and walked reluctantly into the forest one by one.
