The appointment and dismissal of the county order did not have much impact on the officials below, they only needed to smooth the temperament of the new county commander and do things according to his preferences in the future.

Of course, as a subordinate, it is also necessary to go to the new commander to get acquainted with the gangsters.

When he was familiar, someone mentioned the recent major events in the county, which was just right for him, the county magistrate who had just taken office, to observe the people's feelings and win over the people's hearts.

It's a pity that he refuted it, saying that there is no need to disturb the people, if it is really good for the people, you should do more practical things for them.

And the first fire of his new official was to inform them in advance that there was a great drought in the north this year, and a large number of victims might pour into the south, so that they could pay attention to the movements of the people at any time, and guard the city, and carefully and strictly check the people who enter and leave the city.

As soon as they heard that there might be a large number of victims, the officials below immediately panicked, and at this time, counties with large populations like them were the favorite of the disaster victims.

At that time, how to resettle the victims will be a big problem, and with such a major event ahead, they will not have the heart to slap the horse, and hurry to work.

The Xue family, who were busy, did not know that the crisis that their family might have been exposed had been invisibly resolved.

On the Xue family's side, because of the contracted fields, in order to earn more silver, the managers of these villages also worked very hard to go back to the village to pull people, and the villagers who had just been busy with the farm and gradually became idle also joined the labor army one after another.

In the troubled times of disaster years, the most lacking is work, and the most lacking is the people who do the work, if it is not for the busy family, can encounter this kind of good thing, the people are basically rushing to do it.

Therefore, after the construction of the sweet potato mountain started, a large number of people flocked to this side, resulting in the homes of nearby villagers being unable to live, and later people could only live more and more outside.

In the early days, most of the people stayed in the sweet potato fields to work, digging sweet potatoes, cutting vine seedlings, plowing the ground, planting seedlings, and so on.

This is related to the harvest of the previous season and the sowing of the next season, and of course it is the most important thing.

As for the rest, you have to make sure that you can do it.

As more and more villagers were recruited from each village, and they exceeded their daily tasks, a lot of manpower was freed up.

In addition, the villagers in several surrounding counties heard the wind and also came to work.

If you have enough people, you can of course think about other things.

For example, the sweet potato vines after cutting the vine seedlings, these vines will be bad after a long time, and the amount is large, so they must be disposed of as soon as possible.

The Xue family's sweet potato mountain has been given enough labor and fertilizer, not only the yield of sweet potatoes is high, but even the sweet potato vines are luxuriant.

The stems and leaves of this vine must have a yield of at least two thousand catties per mu, and even if they are dried into sweet potato stalks, they must have five or six hundred catties.

Zheng Linchu received it for four yuan and five catties, even if the labor and firewood expenses were removed, there would be at least three or four hundred yuan per mu.

Really calculated, the price of a pound of sweet potato stalks is almost the same as that of a pound of sweet potatoes, but the labor cost and other losses have to be paid by themselves.

Therefore, when there are enough people, waste as little as possible, and it is best to pick all the sweet potato stems and leaves.

At the foot of the sweet potato hill, a large number of sweet potatoes are stored inside the wall.

The periphery of the sweet potato is piled with sweet potato vines.

Outside, there were a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled children, each of whom moved a bench to sit, with various baskets beside him.

Why are the people who do this kind of work old and weak?

Naturally, young men and women who had the physical strength or dexterity of their hands and feet went to the fields to do more lucrative work.

These people sat alone or in a circle, each holding a sweet potato vine in his hand and picking the stems and leaves on it, and there were also a large number of vines in front of them, and some vines that had been plucked on the side. Bibi eBook

There were also people on the side who carried the vines for them, and they brought the sweet potato vines that were almost piled up in the distance in front of them, and removed the vines that had been picked from the stems and leaves.

Although the price of dried sweet potato leaves and dried sweet potato stems is the same, they have to be processed separately.

Because sweet potato stalks need to be boiled in boiling water until they are half-cooked before they can be fished out and dried, and sweet potato leaves only need to be passed in boiling water.

As for the salary, it is according to how much money is given per 100 catties of sweet potato stalks or sweet potato leaves.

It's the same with those who move, they move more and give more.

After the picked sweet potato stalks and leaves are weighed, they will be picked out of the fence to be processed.

This also avoids people who have a heart from stealing sweet potato seedlings, after all, only stems or leaves cannot be used as seedlings.

After picking it out, it should be washed, blanched, and taken out to dry.

It is also a matter of labor and firewood, and you have to rent a stove.

It's all money!

During this period, the Xue family finally received the first letter sent back by Xue Langjing after leaving home.

This night, after everyone had dinner, and finally had a moment of leisure, Jiang Qianyue read Xue Langjing's letter to them.

In addition to reporting safety, she also recorded the strange things she encountered along the way and shared them with them.

Hearing that the people were being requisitioned in large numbers, although they had already known about it, everyone was still full of emotion.

They are outsiders like this, as a former party, Zhang Xingyuan has mixed tastes in his heart!

It was in order not to be requisitioned that he joined the Xue family.

He should have married a wife and had children, so he became the son-in-law of another family, and it was false to say in his heart that he was not uncomfortable.

But after living in the Xue family for two years, not only is life better than in his own home, but he can also continue to study and learn calligraphy, and there are not many legendary sons-in-law who are so angry, and this life seems to be more comfortable than in the past.

The only fly in the ointment seems to be that the doll in his mother's womb and the future child can't bear his surname.

Don't talk about him.

Knowing that Xiaoba had donated dozens of taels of silver to Liujia Village, the Xue family suddenly realized.

No wonder the people of Liujia Village were very enthusiastic about them when they worked here, and it turned out that they had been helped by their own Xiaoba.

When they heard that the Shi family had robbed the widow's property, everyone in the Xue family, especially the women, was even more angry in their hearts.

In fact, there are many such things, and there are many in my village, and under the mediation of Li Zheng and those family elders, the weak widows are basically the ones who suffer.

If there is a male baby in the family, those clan elders will leave a certain share for the sake of his own heirs, and if there are only female babies, then there will really be nothing left.

Xiao Ba's operation allowed the Li family and others not only to keep all their family property, but also to get a lot of benefits from the Shi family's elders, which made them disgraced, and it was of course a great pleasure to listen to everyone's ears.

Don't you think their family was like this at the beginning?

Obviously, all the family property was placed by Xiaoba, but the county master awarded all the fields to the old man, and let him get twenty taels of silver, which makes him angry when he thinks about it!
