Chapter 503: The Tea Garden (2)

Isn't it just a few relatively wasted low hills, this mountain, said to be a dirt mountain, not all, said to be a stone mountain, also not all, overgrown with weeds and shrubs or something, that is, some poor people came to cut down and go back to burn wood, and the rich, that is almost a place to ignore.

It is put in the future generations, this is a waste mountain bag, perhaps, even the Yang family's mountain bag, in I don't know how many years later, will be slowly leveled, and finally, until there is no trace, unless, at this time, or when in the future, there is a historical celebrity in this vicinity, this stone mountain is not a stone mountain, and there will be some records and legends of the earth mountain, otherwise, in the later generations, even in the local chronicles, there will be no trace of its shadow.

So, this purchase, it's very simple, since someone wants to buy these waste mountains, then, they will definitely be happy to sell it, who knows what the ancestors were for, or the head was squeezed by the door, buy so many mountains, you say it's a famous mountain, such as the later generations were Zhao Kuangyin to bet on the lost Huashan or something, so, this small waste mountain, no one will look at it, but Yang Qiao took a fancy to it, they may think that Yang Qiao will build a factory here, so, sell very happily, this opportunity, If you don't catch it, there will be no more, and if people choose flat land as a factory area, it will be too late.

"Husband, that's what I plan......"

Li Lian said her thoughts eloquently, in fact, it is very simple, it is the shape of the terraces, but this is not a terrace, as I said earlier, this mountain is made of soil and stones, so it can be like this, one by one, the ring is enclosed with stones, and in the place where it is circled, it is leveled, whether it is planting a row, or two rows, three rows of tea trees, it depends on the size of the place, so that it can not only plant trees, but also prevent soil erosion, and even, You can also plant some thorny plants on the stone wall.

"Husband, in this way, I don't know if it's feasible or not, that is, this can be more labor."

Li Lian said with some sorrow, this is a good idea, but I don't know if I can do it well, this labor is too much.

"Haha, labor, this, what are you worried about, this planting tea trees, it is not a moment and a half to be done, so good, temporary, first recruit some tenants, to start leveling the terrain, this stone wall, just wait for the time of farming, transfer the idlers on the Zhuangzi to do a good job, I think, when the farming is leisure, people will not say that they will not earn this extra money, that is, maybe, in the vicinity, the Zhuangzi will be formed again, by the way, these three mountains, how many do you want?"

"I want that one, and the other two, husband, you can do something else."

"Well, that's fine, originally, this mountain, if it dries down, it will take a few years, besides, this tea seedling can't keep up, then, we have a tea mountain is a lot, and this tea tree has grown, picking tea, is also a problem, and this person uses a lot of hands."

Forehead!

Suddenly, Yang Qiao found that at this time, he had to use one word, that is, labor shortage, because of his appearance, there was such a thing as labor shortage.

Even, at this time, there should even be a shortage of fields, why, one is the flow into the city, this, maybe only near Chang'an City, but, this flow into the city is relatively large, the construction of the new city around Chang'an, how to say the amount of labor, and there is, the grassland labor flow, this grassland labor, that is too much, not only need herdsmen, but also all kinds of work, such as shearing, felting or something, because to make money, therefore, it is impossible to produce in a family workshop, naturally, are large workshops, or even pasture-style labor.

Similarly, there are private soldiers, because this is an out-of-bounds site, so Li Er does not restrict them from grabbing the natives or anything, usually, they are bullied by the natives, but for the sake of interests, they are bullying the natives, so the positive feedback is that the amount of labor in the imperial court has also increased, especially the craftsmen who build cities and roads.

In a few years, small cities have been set up on this grassland, directly cutting the grassland into pieces, at this time, Li Er is no longer worried about the affairs of the grassland, but is worried, this territory is too much, how to govern it!

Therefore, Yang Qiao found out that this labor shortage appeared in advance, and this field shortage also existed, indeed, there are many families, and there are many fields, because of the use of troops on the grassland, as well as grabbing land and building workshops, the people in this family are not only private soldiers, but even tenants and affiliated farmers have been relocated a lot, so this field shortage has also appeared, and similarly, it has also delayed the avalanche-like decline in the price of grain.

"Alas, there is a shortage of labor, so it's good, transfer some tenant families from the Taoist temple and let them come here to plant tea trees, if it's not suitable to dry, or don't like it, then replace it back."

Suddenly, Yang Qiao thought of an idea, that is, the tenants of the Taoist Temple, although most of the tenants of the Taoist Temple betrayed the old master, but later Yang Qiao had to accept them, no way, if they don't accept, they may starve to death, although some people have also been moved, but most of them still stayed, especially the plough stick, as well as the use of ploughing cattle and horses, this person is more idle, anyway, for various reasons, this part of the people, Yang Qiao is also a little worried, especially, Li Lian actually chose such a manpower-consuming career, so it is normal to let the tenants of the Taoist temple to support.

If you don't come, it's up to you, and besides, it's an opportunity for them, isn't it?

Yang Qiao didn't want to add some trouble to Li Er, but this labor shortage was even more complicated in Li Er's place.

"What, there are not enough people, there are not enough people?"

Li Er also glared.

"Shengshang, just look at the spinning and textile shop, I don't know how much more, it's the silk, it's all gone up a few times now, and it's not a labor shortage."

This, in fact, is still Yang Qiao did not calculate, but, at this time, this tuberculosis can be secretly happy, Yang Qiao doesn't know it, this tuberculosis, it is not good to remind Yang Qiao, why, if the tuberculosis reminds Yang Qiao, then, maybe Yang Qiao will come up with another thing with the most labor, that is, cotton thread, the cotton thread, the cotton cloth, but the high-grade cloth used for personal use, and, until now, Yang Qiao has not considered improving what loom or spinning machine, so the amount of labor is greatly increasedHowever, there is an advantage, that is, the amount of this female worker, but there is a lot more, that, there is almost no idle female worker, and even, this woman, earns more than the man, this situation, look at how those old antiques deal with it, perhaps, this woman's problem, will be diluted.

Even, what kind of foot wrapping will not appear in the future, but who can say clearly, there is an old saying about what it is, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace maids starve to death, and even, according to legend, in those savage countries in the West, there was a time when the woman ate arsenic for a thin waist, and I don't know what the reason is.

Therefore, some things, as long as there are preferences, there can be some accidents, and it is also good for us to say, there is no trade, there is no harm, this sentence, where to use, it is estimated that it is appropriate.

You don't like little feet, so who wraps their feet for what, they have nothing to do, they dislike shoes and cloth, so they wrap their feet small, they stink, what's so good about these little feet?

These are all superfluous things, and Yang Qiao will only consider these when he is idle.

"Husband, you see, from here, build a circle of stone walls, not too high, just more than a foot high, in this way, the first order, the first step up, high, but two feet, short, even half a foot, when your new tea tree is planted, after it grows, it looks very beautiful from afar, perhaps, it is a place to play, and, from here, give a road that zigzags up, don't be wide, and you can walk side by side with two carriages."

Li Lian was excited, jumping and planning while laughing, this is a little girl!

That, sure enough, it's a little girl, less than twenty, and the daughter is so old, alas, it is estimated that this habit will not be changed for a long time in the future, that is, it will be married early, and now there is a shortage of labor, then, soon, Li Er should come down about the age of marriage and various ideas.

"Well, Guanyin, look, should I lower this woman's marriage age to thirteen?"
