Chapter 147: Trouble Returns

Before planting, the seedbeds must be cultivated and the water in the paddy fields must be drained.

The rice fields in Qianjia Village generally have the problem of inconvenient drainage and irrigation, so the first thing they need to do is to improve the drainage and irrigation of the rice fields.

Qian Qianqian led a bunch of people to explain, everyone seemed to understand it, Qian Qianqian simply called Baishi and the farmers who had planted hybrid rice before, and handed over the things in the field to their men.

Although Qian Qianqian is cautious everywhere, in order to prevent the failure of rice cultivation in the seedling field, she has left a lot of back hands in the space.

"Don't put this mess here with me!"

Xiaobai snorted twice, and his calves kept kicking the rice seeds out.

Qian Qianqian reached out and lifted its two legs, pressed it into the nest, and pinched its ears: "Sit here obediently, I made some new pork jerky, the taste is simply wonderful, spicy and rich, and the taste is thick......"

"It's up to you, it's up to you, you can let it go if you want." Xiaobai swallowed his saliva, his body was upright, but his afterglow kept sweeping towards Qian Qianqian.

Qian Qianqian took out a yellowed oil paper bag, the spicy smell of the pork shop spread, Xiaobai swallowed his saliva heavily, and his eyes lit up.

"What else do you want to eat, even though we have the money, it's no problem to buy you something to eat."

fed a mouthful of pork jerky to Xiaobai, Xiaobai's eyes narrowed, a look of enjoyment, and waved its paws: "If you think it's delicious, it's okay, let's go, don't disturb me." ”

It is the one who doesn't often enter the space to see it, and it is also the one who is in a hurry to drive her away, Qian Qianqian found that not only people, but even Xiaobai's mind is becoming more and more difficult to understand.

But the matter of raising seedlings was solved, and Qian Qianqian was determined.

Now the main energy is to teach the people in the village the technical methods before rice sowing, but the people in the village are still suspicious of this matter, afraid of losses, and work in vain.

I just thought about it here, Baishi's side was busy for a day, and when it was over, in order to reassure Qian Qianqian, he specially came to report the situation.

It was still early spring, and the sun was not very scorching, but Shiraishi, a strong man, knocked on the door and came in, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and his face was tired.

Qian Qianqian poured him a glass of water, and raised her eyebrows curiously: "Why are you so tired?" But the bamboo pipe that diverts water is too heavy? ”

"What is that bamboo pipe, a hundred bamboo pipes are not as good as a farmer!" Baishi poured it down violently, and the water flowed down his chin, and he wiped his mouth casually, and when he mentioned today's events, he clenched his fists in anger.

"The land was rented and sold voluntarily, just because they paid some rent, but they worked as if someone owed them hundreds of taels, as if they wanted to look at it with that stinky face."

Qian Qianqian was not surprised at all, and asked calmly, "Then what do you think we should do?" ”

Bai Shi scratched his head, he knew that Miss Qian was very powerful and could solve any problem, so he told her about the troubles he encountered.

But now why do you ask him what to do? Could it be that Miss Qian is poor in donkey skills, and she can't think of a way to deal with these people?

No, then he must help come up with a solution.

Bai Shi instantly felt the burden on his shoulders sink, his face was serious, and he thought about it for a while before he could barely come up with a way.

"I also know a lot of farmers in the nearby villages, so if they don't want to do it, I'll ask someone else to do it."

In this world, the worst thing is the person who works, one is not willing to do it, and hundreds or thousands are still waiting to do it.

Qian Qianqian was noncommittal, pursed her lips, and raised her eyes to look out.

Although Qianjia Village is a village, it is also a good place, close to the county seat, the soil is also fertile, and there is no need to worry about the environment and transportation problems when planting rice in a large area.

The rice fields were rented and bought here, and although they promised to give them priority in renting the land at a low price, it stands to reason that if they did not cooperate, they could find someone else to plant.

But—

"They rent and sell rice fields to us, but they don't rent land to plant, so how can they make a living?"

The people of Qianjia Village have been farmers for generations, and even though they work hard and cultivate with their backs to the loess in the day, they can only maintain food and clothing.

The source of subsistence and clothing is gone, and after a year or two, the silver taels obtained from the sale of land alone will become impoverished and even have enough to eat.

Baishi suddenly realized that the things that Miss Qian could think of, those farmers naturally thought of too, so they would definitely rent land to grow rice, and what they were doing now was just to take advantage.

Bai Shi nodded heavily, and secretly said that Miss Qian was still powerful: "Miss Qian, don't worry, I already understand, tomorrow I will reprimand them and explain the reason to them clearly, how can they not be so arrogant as today." ”

Qian Qianqian raised her hand to stop: "No, not only can you not reprimand them, but you also have to eat and drink for them, they don't have to study seriously and don't care, you just have to do what I tell you to do." ”

Baishi was so confused that the second monk was confused, how could he still be used to eating and drinking?

But what Qian Qianqian said, he just did it.

The next day, Qian Qianqian and Baishi came to the field together, the field was full of horizontal and vertical bamboo pipes, more than 100 farmers sat together in twos and threes, looking dazed, seeing Qian Qianqianlai look up and casually retract his gaze.

Qian Qianqian clapped her hands, and the crackling sound attracted the attention of the farmers.

"Everyone is tired, I specially brought you a body-replenishing pork rib soup today, everyone come and drink it, and take a rest by the way."

The peasants who have been resting, you look at me, I look at you, their yellowed and thin faces, and their eyes of different shapes are full of suspicion.

Is this girl Qian sick in the brain?

After drinking the pork rib soup, everyone gathered in a circle and buried their heads and whispered.

"Is she calculating something?"

Someone picked his teeth and said proudly: "What can she calculate for us?" It's not that she's afraid that no one will rent land to grow hybrid rice when we leave, and she won't be able to harvest rice by the time the harvest comes. ”

"But if we don't, she can find someone else."

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately kicked him: "You stinky mouth, don't you want to think about her daring?" If she really dares to do this and drive us to a dead end, can we still let her live in peace in Qianjia Village? ”

The man knew that he had said something unpleasant, grinned, and laughed again and again, in order to make up for the displeasure of everyone by saying the wrong thing just now, he straightened his chest and said, "That's what she said, so she's trying to please us?" ”

It's only when you listen to this that it's comfortable, and it's comfortable to listen to.

The leader held his hands behind his head and lay on the ground, looking comfortable and complacent: "Heh, isn't it just to please us." ”

Under the connivance of Qian Qianqian, more than 100 people became more and more lazy and slack, lazy and lackluster when working for several days in a row, and as soon as the meal arrived, they were alive and well.

Shiraishi felt that he might be sick.

A manic, irritable, and uncomfortable disease that scratches the heart and lungs at every turn.

The disease is especially serious when you see the bunch of peasants sitting there doing nothing.

After another farmer had eaten enough and stuffed two of them into his arms, went to the field, glanced at him, and lay down leisurely, Shiraishi finally became furious.

"If you want to do it, if you don't do it, get out!"

An angry roar that shook the sky, like a thunderclap on the flat ground in the lazy ground, frightened everyone who was lying down and sitting.

After trembling, it is uncontrollable fear and fear that spreads.

…… Do you really want them to get out?

In the evening, when they went back to their respective homes, they tossed and turned, and everyone did not fall asleep, so they picked up the cigarette stick, grabbed the tea bowl, and walked to the main road in the village to wander.

Coincidentally, I met several acquaintances along the way, all of whom were farming in the fields.

A few got together, took a few puffs of cigarettes, squatted at the intersection and said with a face of vicissitudes: "How much did your land sell?" ”

"Rent, five taels of silver per acre a year."

"The family was in a hurry to use the money, and the five acres of land were sold for a hundred taels of silver."

The leading man sighed: "Tsk, that's a conscience, and it doesn't treat anyone badly." ”

Someone calculated, and couldn't help but say with a weak heart: "Then we still have to do a good job, she rents five taels of silver per acre of land, and rents it to us for only three taels of silver, how to calculate it is also our earning." ”

The man in the lead spat and said hatefully: "But the grain we grow can only be sold to her, and if we want to show weakness now, let's see how she will squeeze us at the price of the grain when the time comes." ”

"But you didn't hear what Shiraishi said today......

The leading man waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask for leave to inquire at Boss Qian's to see what the situation is." ”

When everyone heard this, they left with their own hearts.

Early the next morning, the leading man squatted on the threshold and drank a bowl of soup porridge, saying that it was soup porridge, that is, a bowl of water was poured into the rice grains that could be counted on ten fingers, or a few grains of rice were put in a bowl of water.

However, the imperial court has increased its grain income year by year, and in this year, it is good to have a few grains of rice to eat.

The leading man carefully licked the last grain of rice, got up and walked towards Qian Qianqian's house.

A girl's house is not safe, it really happens that the two men in Aunt Liu's family went out to work, so Qian Qianqian did not live alone, but lived in Aunt Liu's house.

After Qian Qianqian and Aunt Liu finished eating, Qian Qianqian was about to get up to wash the dishes but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

"It's a good day, Qianqian and I went out for a walk in the mountains, and it would be good to pick some wild vegetables and come back......"

Wild vegetables are not delicious, but they don't make them delicious, and once they get into Qianqian's hands, this thing that doesn't cost money has become a rare delicacy.

Finally, Qianqian came back, how could she not lead her to eat wild vegetables.

Aunt Liu pulled Qian Qianqian out, Qian Qianqian couldn't cry or laugh, and when she passed by the hospital, she picked up a small back.

The two walked out talking and laughing, and suddenly, Aunt Liu stopped, gestured to Qian Qianqian, and lowered her voice: "Someone is coming, you go back quickly, I will invite him over." ”

Here it comes! Qian Qianqian put down her back and ran back to the house quickly: "Let's start, remember that you have to speak." ”

As soon as the table was set up, two teas, Qian Qianqian and the man who had been preparing for a long time opposite began to talk about business decently.

From the moment they heard the footsteps come in, both of their faces became serious, the only difference was that one was serious with embarrassment, and the other was serious with pleading.
