Almost the whole village of Zhaojiazhuang went out, whether it was to work or to see the excitement, they all walked towards the lower river dam. Fortunately, Zhaojiazhuang can put some things in the two ox carts, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to travel six or seven kilometers from Zhaojiazhuang to Xiaheba, such a large group with luggage.

Along the way, everyone chatted enthusiastically, Zhao Yuan's luggage was placed on the ox cart, coordinating the team, and the people met on the road were curious about what such a large group of people in Zhaojiazhuang were going to do, and when they heard that they were going to work to make money, they were very envious.

"Brother, you're from the yard ditch, and now that the autumn harvest is over, you're coming to work with us to earn money?" Zhao Lao Wu met a somewhat familiar passer-by and asked.

"Yes, I am Yuanzigou Huang Yuan, the second girl of the honest family in our village married to your village. What kind of work are you, and you're out of the village? ”

"Yes, basically all of them went, leaving the mother-in-law and children at home to feed the pigs, and everyone else went, and the people were all gone, and the labor was 120 copper coins a day, and the semi-labor was 100 copper coins a day."

"How much?"

"One hundred and twenty copper coins a day for regular laborers, one hundred wen for half laborers, including food, as for the work, it is to open up the wasteland."

"So many, is the place to open up the wasteland far away, and you still need people."

"If you want, the whole ten hectares of land, that is, the area under the river dam, will be opened in the next two months, brother, you can call the people in your yard and ditch to come too."

"It's at the lower river dam, it's so close, I'll go back and call someone to go with me right away."

"Yes, hurry up, there should be people in several nearby villages, and when there are enough people, they may not be able to recruit them."

"Then I'll have to hurry." As he spoke, the middle-aged man named Huang Yuan almost ran up.

…………

The same thing happened in several villages that are related to Zhaojiazhuang, after hearing Zhao Yuan say in the morning that he would find a large number of people to open up the wasteland, the village and other villages have relatives to find people to inform, it may not be long before more people go to the river dam.

A group of people came to Xiaheba in a majestic manner, and when they passed by the market in Gray Plains Town, the people in the town were still curious about why so many people came to the market because today was not the time to catch the market.

Zhao Yuan said to Uncle Zhao, and then took Meng Ying and Luoluo to lead the little donkey and the black tiger towards Funing Building, and the grain that needs to be prepared for the land reclamation is still purchased by Wanfu of Funing Building, and the price can be much cheaper if you buy it directly from Funing Grain Store.

The wasteland where Xiaheba is located is still about two kilometers away from the market, and the grain bought from the Funing Grain Store needs to be transported now, and a lot of meat and vegetables are bought through the procurement channels of the Funing Building.

After explaining to Wanfu, Zhao Yuan took Meng Ying and Luoluo to lead the little donkey and the black tiger to continue walking towards the lower river dam, delaying this period of time, everyone should be about to arrive at the place.

"Uncle, you can't be stationed like this." When Zhao Yuan and the three of them came to Xiahe Dam, they looked at the messy station built by everyone who arrived a little earlier than him, and hurriedly found Uncle Zhao and said.

"Atom, what's the matter, everyone used to live like this in the past?" Zhao Chuanyi said suspiciously.

"Uncle, we have to work here for a few months, so let's build a good place to live." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"Then how do you say you got it?" Uncle Zhao spread his hands and said.

"Let's go to the mountains to cut down some trees first, and then build a few big sheds with trees, so that everyone has a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and we can't dig a pit in the open air like now, and put a shelter on it." Zhao Yuan scratched his head and said, he still thought about things simply, but he didn't expect to find someone here to build some simple accommodation before starting work.

"That's okay, don't be busy, listen to me, let's go to the mountain next to us and cut some trees and come back to build a shed, don't dig a pit." Uncle Zhao greeted loudly.

"I still have to build a shed, so I won't work today?" Someone asked, confused.

"Build the place where you live today, and then officially start working tomorrow, and wait for people from other villages to come to help, don't worry, today is half a day's salary." Zhao Yuan also said loudly on the side.

"Forget about the salary or something, and wait until you officially start working tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, Atom, I see that you have so many people here, how much do you need to drive?"

"Thank you, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, rest assured, since I, Zhao Yuan, am going to do this, I will definitely do a good job, let's go and cut down the trees first, everyone pay attention to only cutting down the trees on the east mountain, this half of the mountain is also mine." Zhao Yuan said loudly.

"Atom, you even bought this half of the mountain." Everyone asked in surprise.

"I bought it, this mountain is a bit steep, everyone should pay attention to safety." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

"Yes, the big guys are all on the safe side." Uncle Zhao also greeted.

Originally, the women and children who came to see the excitement helped the family members who came to work to build a place to live, but now Zhao Yuan asked everyone to build a shed to live, and the people who worked had to go to the mountains to cut down trees, so the men let the women and children go to Zhaojiazhuang.

"Second brother, second brother, people from other villages are also here, and there are several carriages, saying that the food and vegetables you bought have arrived, second brother." Zhao Bo, who was taking care of the two pigs, ran over and said.

"Okay, I know, uncle, please arrange everyone, alas, I'm dizzy." Zhao Yuan said to Zhao Bo and said helplessly to Uncle Zhao.

"Okay, second, third, fifth, you all come to help, pay attention to the people who go to cut down the tree to pay attention to safety, pay attention to the tree when it is pushed down the mountain, don't hit people." Uncle Zhao greeted and said.

"Then the uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, the fifth uncle, just trouble a few people to help arrange it, I'll go to see the grain and vegetables, I don't know how many people have come from other villages, uncle, you can help me count it together." Zhao Yuan patted his head and said.

"Okay, Atom, go ahead."

Because of Wan Yunjun's relationship, Funing Grain Bank directly pulled five carts of rice, noodles, meat, and vegetables over, and was waiting for Zhao Yuan at the intersection. Meng Ying and Luoluo were standing next to the carriage, talking to the people of Funing Grain Store.

"Wan Guan, I'm Zhao Yuan, and I'm bothering you to personally send us food." Zhao Yuan followed Zhao Bo to the front of the car and said to Wan Quan, the steward of Gray Yuan Funing Grain Store.

"Boss Zhao is polite, you and the second young master are partners, and it is a blessing to be able to help you." He hurriedly saluted and said, he and Wan San were a group of people who went to Gray Yuan Town to take up a job, and the relationship between the two was very good, and he also knew that Wan San was transferred to Danling by the second young master, and it had a lot to do with the Zhaojiazhuang villager in front of him.

"I'm very messy here now, so I won't invite the steward to sit down, how much food is this?" Zhao Yuan looked at a few carriages and asked.

"A total of 1,200 catties of rice and 800 catties of flour, as well as 300 catties of pork and other vegetables that Wanfu helped procure."

"Okay, it should be enough, Wan Guan will keep the accounts in advance, I'll go to the town to settle with you later, to be honest, I'm in a hurry."

"There are too many people, it's not easy to arrange, I think there are almost more than 100 people here, Boss Zhao."

"Almost, I haven't counted it yet, and I'm busy building a place to camp at night."

"Then we won't bother, Boss Zhao, where are these grains and vegetables unloaded?"

"Just unload it on that piece of grass over there, and you should be cooking there in a moment."

"Okay, you can drive the carriage over." Wanquan said as he commanded the work of the carriage that came.

"Good work!"
