Chapter 63 Clearing the Wasteland I
Mei Liu'er came out of Zhao's house and then went to several other houses, several families knew Mei Liu'er's intention to come and happily agreed, in their opinion, this is Mei Liu'er's help to them and also to their closeness, let them go to find someone is actually to help them send favors, forty a day's wages need them to help find someone, as long as the wind is released, someone will naturally find the door.
Now Mei Liu'er asked them to help find someone, in addition to believing that she would help her find someone who worked diligently and didn't steal and cheat, it was more about giving them favors.
Several families attached great importance to this matter, and went to each family early the next morning, anyway, as long as it was an honest and diligent relative they knew, they went all over.
Of course, although Mei Liu'er told them that the more people, the better, but they also know that the settlement is not, the salary of forty wen a day, if you find too many people to come, Mei Liu'er will not have to pay a lot more wages, in order not to let Mei Liu'er pay more, and in order not to delay Mei Liu'er's reclamation, several families are very heavy to help Mei Liu'er find someone, even if it is a relative, if you are not too quick and diligent, you will resolutely not bring it.
On the third day, Wang Gengtian, the village head, also helped her invite the servants of the Yali to measure the wasteland and the mountain bag, and Mei Liu'er asked Wang Erlang to help, the wasteland was 165 acres in total, and there were 121 acres on the hill, because Mei Liu'er bought a lot, and the officers who came to measure the land erased it for her and counted it as 120 acres.
Four hundred and ninety-five taels of silver were used for the wasteland, one hundred and eighty taels of silver were used for one and a half taels of silver per mu on the hill, and a total of six hundred and seventy-five taels of silver were used, plus the twenty taels she had given to Wang for ploughing the fields before, and the red envelopes she had given to the servants after measuring the land, and the one thousand five hundred taels of silver she had taken out for clearing the wasteland, and now there were about eight hundred taels left, and the eight hundred taels of silver were enough for the wages for clearing the wasteland and the silver money for buying seeds and fruit tree saplings.
Mei Liu'er's large wasteland began to be cleared the next day after the first day of measurement, Mei Liu'er went to ask for help, each family brought at least twenty people, Wang Erlang's eldest brother and third brother also came and other relatives, Wang Erlang here does not count their three brothers, there are twenty-six people, Zhao Shi also takes not counting him and his father, there are twenty-two people, and there are twenty-three people on the side of the big bell excluding his father and son......
There are also people in the village who know that they came over, in short, there are nearly 100 people who come together to work in this Mei Liu'er wasteland, the scene is really spectacular, and it is also the first time that someone has opened up the wasteland on such a large scale since the establishment of the Little Wolf Village, and it is the first time that someone has invited so many people to work at one time, and the salary is not low.
Mei Liu'er's wasteland sounds like a lot, the two places add up to more than 280 acres, but so many people get started together, and it really opens, in fact, it doesn't take much time, that is, it is a little laborious to clean up the grass roots and large and small stones turned out of the wasteland, and the same is true on the mountain bag, the speed is stumped, but it is not slow, and the wasteland is opened out little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the time of the wasteland, because the weeds on the wasteland had withered, Wang Erlang, Zhong Zhao Shi and several other men who were rescued by Mei Liuer spontaneously organized a wasteland clearing supervision team, not that they didn't do it, but they worked hard and at the same time supervised the people they brought, in fact, there was nothing to supervise, this time they found these people are relatives who know the roots or relatives of relatives, and they are very serious about their work.
Wang Erlang and their desert reclamation supervision team, the day before the wasteland walked around the wasteland to check the terrain, it was even more nervous than Mei Liu'er, the main owner, Mei Liu'er knew that Qu Ran told her, and after hearing it, her heart was touched by these lovely villagers.
On the day of the reclamation, Wang Erlang and their reclamation supervision team brought their team members to the scene early, and then assigned that piece to be opened by that pair of people, and there was to be opened by that pair of people, and the arrangement was in an orderly manner, and there was no sense of panic and chaos at all.
On the day of the wasteland, Mei Liu'er went to the wasteland in person, she wanted to tell them where to dig the pond, and also told them where to sort out the ridges and ditches, and she hadn't come to take a good look at this wasteland.
Wang Erlang They first lit a fire to burn the withered weeds, Wang Erlang told Mei Liu'er, "Liu'er lady does this, not only can burn the weeds and branches to make fertilizer directly into the ground, but also burn the weed seeds in the field, and there will be a lot less weeds in the field next year, otherwise it will not be possible to plant crops in the field next year, and the weeds will grow crazy and cover the crops and not see through the sun." ”
"Thank you so much for thinking about me" Don't say that Mei Liu'er really doesn't know these things, although she has learned a lot of things from her master, but more of them are just theories and have not practiced, and she really doesn't know much about farming, and she doesn't know a lot of these details.
"You don't blame us for burning your ground" After getting along with Mei Liuer for a long time, Wang Erlang slowly relaxed, and really regarded Mei Liuer as a little sister, and she relaxed her words and actions to be more cordial, that is, no matter what Mei Liuer said, her title did not change.
"How can it be, I only have gratitude, where is the blame, I'm not the kind of person who can't figure it out" Mei Liu'er smiled.
Wang Erlang also laughed, Zhao Shi and a few of them also laughed, most of them talked to Mei Liuer as a representative when they were together, which seemed to have become a habit.
Mei Liu'er looked at the black land and a few trees in the ground that had fallen their leaves and been burned after being burned by the fire, "Don't cut down the bigger trees in the field of the big brothers, just prune the branches, just stay in the ground, and wait until the summer to work in the field, so that you can have a place to rest and be cool."
"Cheng, we know, we will never cut it for you" Wang Erlang smiled heartily, and Zhao Shi Dazhong and others also laughed.
The weeds in the wasteland are not too thick, in the past, everyone beat pigweed and cut cattle and sheep grass, most of them were cut here, so there were not many weeds, and the flames were not high, and today's 'heaven is beautiful' There is no strong wind only occasional small wind, so there is no need to worry about a fire, and as soon as the fire is extinguished, the people who follow will immediately start plowing the ground, and there will never be a grain of spark that will fly to other places to cause a fire.
On the morning of the first day of reclamation, Mei Liuer's wasteland was burned again, and more than half of it was opened in one afternoon, leaving only a small piece connected to the foot of the hill that was not opened.
