10. The Bird Mountain Conference was shocking
After all, it was summer, and not long after the sun went down, the heat at the foot of the mountain dropped a lot, and the tenants came to Sun Yao's residence in groups of three or five. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The peasants gathered in a semicircle as a family unit, with Qianfan and Dongling maintaining order, and the big yellow farts followed them, occasionally avoiding the scratches of the children.
Sun Yao stood at the door, looking at everyone, everyone ignored her, chatting on their own, some women were still busy with needlework in their hands, and the men were much quieter, and seemed to be a little worried, probably worried about how the new owner would detain them. Thinking of this, Sun Yao was a little sad.
"Miss, let's get started." Qian Fan walked up to Sun Yao and said with a smile.
Sun Yao walked to the table and chair in front of the semicircle, and after doing so, she motioned for Qianfan to sit down as well, and placed some bamboo slips, pen and ink in front of Qianfan.
"It's all quiet, our young lady is going to start a meeting!"
Although meeting is a new term, everyone has heard Qianfan say it for a long time, and they don't say anything, keep their mouths shut, but the work in their hands does not stop.
Sun Yao took a general look, thirty households, each family has about three children, some big and some young, most of the family has old people, basically no ability to work. However, there are also a lot of young adults, there are thirty or forty, fifty acres of land, as far as this lineup is concerned, it should not be a problem.
"First of all, thank you very much for coming to this meeting in your busy schedule, there are four topics for this meeting, first, divide the fields, second, divide the cattle, third, recruit waiters, and fourth, recruit workers."
Rong's mother was originally standing behind Sun Yao, but when she heard this, she touched Sun Yao.
"Miss, what are you talking about?"
"It's okay, Mother Rong, you'll understand later, Qianfan, make a record."
Qianfan nodded.
And Sun Yao's new term immediately attracted everyone's attention, the waiters and workers don't understand anything, but they divide the land and cattle, this is really what they hear, what does this eldest lady want to do?
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Sun Yao was proud, and continued.
"Before we deliberate, there is one more thing, this meeting must be kept secret, can you do it?"
No one answered, Sun Yao was going crazy.
"Didn't you hear the eldest lady's question?" Qianfan said loudly.
"Yes!"
"Okay, now let's move on, first of all, the first topic, the division of land. According to Qianfan's understanding in your family, families from No. 1 to No. 10 have insufficient labor, and each family is allocated one mu of land, and families from No. 11 to No. 30 are divided into two acres of land. All the fields are numbered in the fields, so you can see for yourself. ā
"Miss, you mean this land is given to us?" A middle-aged man said, everyone looked at Sun Yao, silent.
"Liu Gong, don't come unharmed."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Obviously, Liu Gong has a lot of weight in everyone's hearts, after all, he used to be one of the three famous chefs in Daming Town.
"Let's put it this way, because of the legal problems of the imperial court, the land is nominally mine, but I give you the land, I don't care, you can plant whatever you want, but you can't let the land be wasted. I don't charge rent, you just have to send me some of what you have grown during the harvest, and you can send as much as you want, but only if you keep enough food for yourself, we will not allow anyone to go hungry here. ā
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly burst into applause, Zhang Gong glanced at Sun Yao and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Miss, are you serious?"
"This is natural, don't have any doubts, the above questions, Qianfan will make a record, I will sign and draw!"
The applause below is thunderous again.
"Miss, the signing and drawing of the prisoner is against the prisoner!" Qianfan reminded in a whisper.
"It's okay, everyone likes it."
Dongling glanced at Rong's mother, Rong's mother looked indifferent, Dongling was distressed, Miss did this, how much less land rent would have to be charged.
"Alright, now for the second item, the cattle."
"Miss, with all due respect, how can you have a cow?" Liu Gong asked again,
"Liu Gong is not in a hurry, the cattle will be sent in the past few days, and they are strong cows, a total of twenty heads. Okay, now let's start dividing the oxen, families from 1 to 10, get five cows, and two families provide one; Families 11 to 25, one cow per household. ā
"Aren't there no cattle for families twenty-six to thirty?" It was a young girl who spoke, about the same age as Sun Yao. She comes from family number twenty-six.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lin Xiaoyu."
"Okay, I'll call you Xiaoyu from now on. Xiao Yu's question, I naturally have consideration, the No. 26 to No. 30 families, there are three grooms, so each of these five families gets a horse and a carriage. Your five families have a lot of labor, so you have to set aside five people to work as grooms, one or two pieces of silver a month. ā
Everyone was envious.
Sun Yao continued: "The five of you are led by Tian Dazhuang. ā
"Miss, can I do it? I've always been called by others. A middle-aged man said worriedly, and his daughter-in-law next to him punched him.
"Tian Dazhuang, you can do it! I also want to give you a task, train the groom, all of you who have quite a groom can go to Tian Dazhuang to sign up, and after Tian Dazhuang counts, hand it over to Qianfan. In the future, everyone will be called Tian Dazhuang, and they will be called Master Tian, remember? ā
"Remembered." Everyone spoke in unison, and then burst into laughter, Tian Dazhuang's face turned red, but his daughter-in-law was very excited.
"Alright, let's move on to the third topic, recruiting waiters. You may not know, the Fengguan Building in Daming Town is also my industry, I am ready to revitalize the Fengguan Building, the existing waiters, according to the situation, decide to stay, and the rest will be recruited by Lin Xiaoyu among you, the specific situation, I will hand it over to Lin Xiaoyu to release. ā
"Miss, what's the waiter?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.
"To put it simply, it is the Fengguan Building that runs the hall, serving food and tea, and so on. Lin Xiaoyu is the new lobby manager of Fengguan Building, and he is the head of all the waiters. ā
"Miss, I understand."
"Good. Another thing, is the chef, Liu Gong, what do you think? ā
"Miss, Liu doesn't plan to go out of the mountain, please ask Gao Ming."
"Gong Liu, don't be impatient, this matter will not be discussed for the time being."
Liu Gong looked at Sun Yao and ignored her meaningful smile.
"Miss, Twilight is also a good hand at cooking." Qian Fan said suddenly.
"Qianfan, let's talk about this later."
Bai Twilight has returned to Hanshan Temple, even if Bai Twilight is good at cooking, but he is also a musician, and now he has reached the fourth degree of violinist, although the profession is not divided into high and low, but in this era of strong piano skills, she can't decide for Bai Dui, but it is still necessary to mention.
"Okay, let's move on to the fourth and final thing. I'm going to build a house, and I'm going to get some help from you, and of course, I'll pay for it. ā
"Miss, no, there are several of us who are good at it, and now is not the time to be busy with farming, so we will definitely be able to build the house soon."
"That's it, Miss, you're so good to us, how can we ask for your money."
"Miss, these materials are all ready-made, you can just say how to build it."
"Okay, thank you very much, willing to help tomorrow to find Qianfan, I have two requirements for you, first, three months to complete, second, to ensure quality. Of course, I'll still pay for the money. ā
"Miss, what is quality?"
"The quality of the house is to ensure that the house you build does not collapse and does not leak rain!"
"Of course."
"Okay, Lin Xiaoyu and Tian Dazhuang stay, everyone can go back and rest."
The crowd quickly dispersed, their faces were elated, they were all talking about what to plant, and they were all beaming, and they were happier than the New Year.
"I'm going to take Dongling and Rong's mother to Fengguan Tower in the near future, Xiaoyu is with me, and this place will be handed over to Qianfan. Master Tian, after the carriage is delivered, you arrange for a groom to drive to Fengguan Tower, and follow me in the future. Okay, it's not too early, you two go back first. ā
After the two left, Sun Yao glanced at Qianfan.
"Qianfan, this place will be handed over to you for the time being, build the house, and then manage the farmers well, I may not come over for a while, if there is anything, you have to inform me as soon as possible."
"Miss, Qianfan doesn't know if it's okay." Rong Ma said.
"Put it down, Mother Rong, Qianfan can definitely do it. Qianfan, you will be my chief manager in the future, I remember that you are also a musician of the sixth degree, don't delay your piano skills. ā
"Yes, Qianfan knows."
"Miss, I'm afraid Mother Rong can't go to Fengguan Tower with you."
"Why?"
"To take care of the flowers."
"Mom Rong, what flowers are more important than Miss." Dongling said.
"It's okay, Mom Rong, you can stay."
"Miss, if you need it, come to Mother Rong."
Sun Yao nodded, it seemed that he could only take Dongling and Xiaoyu over, and he didn't know what the situation was over there.
When everyone dispersed, Sun Yao grabbed Dongling.
"Miss, is there something wrong?"
"There's one thing, but I don't know much about it."
The sun came out in the west, and the young lady was embarrassed to get up.
"Miss, just say it, I won't tell Mother Rong."
"Well, I'll get straight to the point. What do we Xiliang think about the broken sleeve? ā
"Why would Miss ask this for no reason?"
"That's it."
"It can't be said to be advocated, but it's not forbidden, some dignitaries have their own little people, and it is said that some princes also have them."
Oh my God, little boy! Sun Yao felt that her pink heart was already flying all over the sky.
"Miss, you're laughing so horribly."
Sun Yao rolled her eyes at her.
And Sun Wenxuan was also happy, and the day after he took over as the head of the family, he sent what Sun Yao wanted. The person who came was a neat housekeeper, and he said a lot, in short, he expressed great regret that Sun Yao did not go to the ceremony.
"Qianfan, that person just now, see it, you will surpass him in the future."
"Qianfan knows."
"The children can be taught."
