"Not either!" Not only is it not, but on the contrary, the land here is fertile, dark and dark, and the grain grows very well. Pinshu.com

"Then what do people say, what is the reason why we have been struggling in poverty and not even having enough to eat?"

This question really stumped everyone, if they knew the reason, would they still be so poor!

Meng Xi saw that everyone was confused and couldn't find an answer, so he spit out a sentence softly: "The reason why we are poor is: We have too few fields! Our farming methods are too backward!"

This sentence is not loud, but it is like a thunderbolt that has been thrown into people's hearts and awakened their imprisoned thoughts. At the same time, it is like a ray of light, illuminating the direction in which they are heading.

"However, we now have the land of every family to the limit that we can bear!"

Someone came back to his senses and asked questions.

The people in the village are not lazy, on the contrary, they are very diligent, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, leaving early and returning late, and devoting all their energy to the fields all year round. The whole family went out together to barely survive.

In this case, there is no ability to cultivate more fields, right?

Everyone also looked at Meng Xi with the same doubts, and the labor capacity of their family was all up to the limit!

Meng Xi nodded, "I know everyone is very hardworking, but don't forget, I just said that your farming methods are too backward, if you improve, each of you can at least double the number of fields!"

Double?!

Everyone's eyes immediately widened as big as brass bells!

What is the concept of doubling that year? That is equivalent to doubling the amount of food every year! That means that you don't have to go hungry anymore!

It's unbelievable!

But how?

Everyone looked at Meng Xi with incredulous eyes, waiting for her further advice.

Yesterday, the old village chief Zhao Guangming just told everyone that this year, soybeans will be planted in the corn field, and all of them will be sold to Meng Xi in the autumn, and it is guaranteed to be the highest price. He also said that they could open up the wasteland to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Meng Xi would teach everyone how to store them in the autumn, so that there would be no vegetables to eat in winter.

At that time, they were just looking forward to earning more this year, and they would no longer be hungry when they were young.

But now, Meng Xi actually said that their income could be doubled?

God, a lot of people can't believe their ears and are terrified that it's a joke and there's no way to do it.

Seeing the villagers looking forward to and worrying so much, Meng Xi no longer sold Guanzi, but said all his thoughts in a row.

"First of all, you use animal power when plowing! Use oxen to plough the fields, and you definitely use manpower much faster!"

Coaxing-

As soon as the first thought came out, everyone couldn't hold their breath and shouted one after another.

"It's unrealistic, we can't afford cows!"

"That's right, a cow costs at least ten taels of silver, and it has to be fed with grain, we can't afford to buy it and can't afford it!"

"Only the big landlord's family has ploughing cattle, how can we poor people arouse such expensive things!"

The big guys couldn't accept it, thinking that Meng Xi was just talking in a dream.

"Be quiet, what are you arguing about, listen to Meng Xi's words!" the old village chief scolded loudly with a straight face, and everyone gradually quieted down.

Meng Xi was not annoyed, he still maintained a smiling appearance, and his tone was more gentle.

"Folks, I know everyone's economic situation, so I didn't say let everyone buy cattle!

"Rent a cow?"

I've never heard of cows being rented!

Seeing everyone's stunned looks, Meng Xi smiled lightly and said: "I plan to buy ten ploughing cattle in a few days and come back, and when the time comes, after I finish my own field, I can rent it to everyone, and I don't collect much a day, ten silver is good!"

"It's really not expensive!" immediately had the lively mind, and quickly calculated an account in his mind.

Ten silver is the price of a middle-aged laborer working in the town for two days, and it is the kind that takes care of food and housing. How can a cow be worth three laborers, right? So ten dollars a day is really not expensive!

Seeing that someone was up, everyone else reacted and chimed in: "If that's the case, then let's all go and rent cattle!

Well, it's good, it's very good!

Meng Xi nodded in satisfaction. Although these villagers have nothing to do, when it comes to their own interests, this account is still calculated very quickly.

Hearing this, those who reacted slowly also turned around and understood that this was a good thing to make sure that they didn't lose money.

And obviously, Meng Xi is helping them.

Otherwise, if people buy ten cows and grow as much wasteland as they want, they will hire a few short-term industrial banks at that time.

But they lent the cattle to everyone, which is clearly helping everyone!

The villagers thanked Meng Xi gratefully, but she smiled and waved her hand, "You don't have to be so polite, you all live in the same village, like a family, how can I just care about eating and drinking spicy food for myself, but watch you suffer and be poor." ”

"Living Bodhisattva!"

Many of the women shouted with tears in their eyes, and the men followed suit.

Meng Xi's little face turned red, "Oh, don't call it that, I can't afford it!"

After calming everyone's emotions, Meng Xi continued: "I asked, if you want to open up wasteland, you need to pay one or two taels of silver for one acre of land. The village chief and I pondered, if there is any surplus money at home, we will choose a place to go through the formalities tomorrow, and then hurry up to open up the wasteland!"

The solar term does not wait for anyone, seeing that the weather is starting to get warmer, you can start preparing for spring ploughing, if the wasteland is late, you can't plant this year.

When it comes to the issue of silver, everyone wilts all at once.

It's a good thing to open up wasteland, but there's no silver!

I work hard all year round, but in the end, I can't even mix food and clothing, let alone save money, and those who don't have debts can live a good life.

Meng Xi saw everyone's obviously depressed mood, and glanced at the old village chief, only to see him nod gratefully, she cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, I have an idea, let's see if it's feasible!"

Everyone immediately looked up at her.

"Well, I still have some silver in my hand, so I can lend you some. ”

What the?!

Everyone was stunned, seriously doubting their ears. Meng Xi said that he wanted to lend them silver?

"How much money?" a young man gritted his teeth and decided to borrow.

As long as the profit is not higher than the money farm, he borrows it, and then rents cattle to farm, hoping to save some silver by the end of the year. Otherwise, the three sons in the family really don't have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, so let's fight it.

"I don't want money!" Meng Xi said softly.

Someone was already about to pass out! There was just too much stimulation at this moment.

The young man was even more surprised and said loudly: "You don't want money?" How is it possible! Could it be that she is really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva?

"Yes, I don't want to make money! borrow as much as you want from me, and how much you can repay in the fall!" Meng Xi said word by word, for fear that everyone would hear it.

"However, I can only borrow three taels of silver at most from each family, and I can't borrow any more! It's not that I'm afraid that you won't pay it back, but I don't have that much! Haha-" Meng Xi said that it was best to fight haha.

Everyone laughed too, thinking that she was so real. All of a sudden, the atmosphere came alive again.

Many villagers were clamoring for money to be borrowed. Those with a small population borrowed one tael, and those with a large population all said they would borrow three taels.

With the fields, then the cattle, and then the full and reasonable use of the land according to the way Meng Xi said, this autumn must be the biggest harvest year in their lives!

A beautiful picture appeared in everyone's hearts.

Meng Xi waited quietly, waiting until everyone's excitement had subsided a little before she said the last thing.

"Folks, if you don't have enough labor at home, if you don't want to borrow money to open up the wasteland and rent cattle to farm, there is still a chance to earn some pocket money, I don't know if you are interested?"

Not interested?

That's a fool!

Everyone said almost in unison, "Interested!"

Meng Xi's words are almost saying that they don't need to invest, they can earn silver, and they will say that they are not interested when they are stupid!

What the hell is the method?

Meng Xi waited anxiously before he slowly said this way to make money.

"Everyone has seen that my family doesn't have a house to live in now, so as soon as spring begins, I want to break ground to build a house, and I have to ask everyone to help me when the time comes!"

"No problem! Miss Meng Xi has helped us so much, we should repay you!"

Meng Xi couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then the little clever ghost Xuehua whispered beside her very discerningly: "Sister Xiaoxi, his name is Zhang Musheng, he is kind-hearted, and he has done a lot of work for our family. ”

Oh, he seems to be a good person, you can help him more in the future, and if you behave well, you can take it for yourself.

Although Meng Xi is now helping the whole village get rich together, in the final analysis, her dream is not to nest in this ravine forever, her ultimate goal is to establish her own industrial kingdom. And this requires a lot of talent, and now you can take the opportunity to investigate it first.

Patting the little hand of the snowflake approvingly, Meng Xi raised his voice and said to Zhang Musheng: "Thank you Uncle Zhang for your kindness! However, the house that my family wants to build is not small, and it will definitely not be completed in a while." When the time comes, I always ask everyone for help, and I don't want to go here. In this way, I will give everyone six dollars a day, take care of one lunch at lunch, and wait until the start of construction to talk about recruiting people in detail. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was excited. It's pie-in-the-sky!

It is great news that you can earn money without leaving the village and not delay the farm work at home!

"I'll definitely go then!"

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

Everyone signed up enthusiastically. Even if Meng Xi said that she would sign up when the time comes, everyone now wants to have a sense of presence in front of her, in case the recruitment quota is limited at that time, what if they can't squeeze it.

Meng Xi saw that everyone was so positive, and smiled very happily, "Okay, then this matter is decided." I try not to build a house when the farm is busy, so that everyone has more time. ”

This matter was settled, and Meng Xi mentioned another thing: "After everyone chooses the wasteland tomorrow, I also want to choose some." But my family is short of manpower, and I want to ask everyone to help, and I will be paid ten yuan a day, regardless of food, I wonder if everyone is willing?"

"I do!"

In an instant, several voices responded!

Mother, I've been talking for a long time, and the biggest benefit is here!

Sure enough, it's a good thing to save for the end!

All the villagers raised their hands in the air and jumped up and said that they would sign up to help clear the wasteland.

Ten dollars a day, ten days is a hundred, twenty days......

Everyone's eyes sparkled like silver dangling before their eyes.

And Meng Xi did not disappoint them, and continued: "I initially planned to open up 200 acres of wasteland, and I need to use 50 people. If you want to do it, you can sign up with me in a while. ”

Wow, what a fortune!

Fifty people have to work for a month to reclaim these 200 acres of land, even if they use the fastest speed, and one person can get 300 yuan!

Three hundred yuan, you can buy fifty catties of corn ballast, you don't have to starve this spring!

Everyone was in tears of excitement, and they couldn't wait to get to work now.

Meng Xi finished what he was going to say, and said to Zhao Guangming: "Uncle Zhao, I have nothing to do here, can you say a few more words?"

Zhao Guangming did not refuse, walked over and stood beside her, signaling the villagers to be quiet.

"Folks, we have been poor for eight generations, and we have finally seen hope. We can't live up to Miss Meng Xi's kindness to us, we must work hard with her, and strive to live in a big house as soon as possible, eat white flour and fine grain, and wear new clothes!"

These words are extremely simple and practical, but they are the things that all the villagers yearn for the most.

Everyone nodded with tears in their eyes, and replied that they would definitely follow Meng Xi and live a good life and become rich.

A mobilization meeting is over, and Meng Xi will start recruiting people next.

If you want to say, the procedures for wasteland reclamation have not been completed yet, why should you recruit people first?

What Meng Xi thought was that she should recruit people as soon as possible, and then she could choose the land with confidence. Otherwise, if the money is paid and no one does the work for her, it will be a lot of fun.

Fortunately, the villagers were eager to make money and were willing to contribute, so after a while, the quota of 50 people was full.

When recruiting people, Zhao Guangming has always helped to check the gates, and the little clever ghost Xuehua is beating the drum on the side. There are a few ordinary lazy people who want to get in but don't succeed, so in the end, they recruit honest and diligent young and strong guys.

"Okay, I've written down everyone's names, and when my wasteland is bought, I'll gather everyone to work!" Meng Xi said a few words and let everyone disperse.

The other people who didn't grab this good job all looked at the fifty strong young men with envy, and then looked at Meng Xi with a blank eye, hoping that she could give her some other opportunities to make money.

Meng Xi was made to laugh and cry by so many fawn-like eyes, and finally had to say: "Don't worry, everyone, there will be more places for my family in the future, and they must all be paid, so you all have the opportunity to make money from me!"

The villagers were a little embarrassed, as if they were using them as fortune boys.

So everyone left with a haha, but they were really worried in their hearts, and Bawang Mengxi hurriedly started to work so that they could earn some pocket money to subsidize their families.

Meng Xi waited until everyone dispersed, and then instructed Zhao Guangming: "Uncle Zhao, tomorrow bring the people from the Yamen to measure the land, the solar terms don't wait for anyone, we have to hurry up." ”
