Chapter 54

The next day, the men in the village devoted themselves to the ancestral hall and the school building, the capable women in the village continued to devote themselves to the Yelan wasteland, and the Li family brought a hundred strong laborers from Wangjia Village to come at dawn, she went back to her mother's house yesterday afternoon, chose someone to live in her mother's house for one night, and then rushed over early this morning.

In Li's words, she brought these strong men to work, and they are usually honest and willing to work in the village.

These people have no ability except for their strength, and they want to look for a job in the city, but now in the slack season, everyone has time to run to the city, there are more monks and less porridge, like them, they can only farm, and they have no strength, so it is really difficult to find a job, so Li went back and said that Ye Lan had to work here, and he ate a meal with twenty yuan a day, and immediately many idle people came to sign up, if it weren't for Ye Lan's upper limit of one hundred people, Li could still bring her many people.

After thanking the Li family, Ye Lan stood in front of the one hundred strong men, accepting their puzzled eyes, probably thinking about why the main thing was a little girl.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first, my name is Qiao Yelan, this is my mother, Qiao Zi, don't wonder why I am standing in front of you instead of my mother, as long as I can pay the salary, no matter how old I am, you have to call me a boss, now, I have doubts about my age, and I am not willing to do things for my little boss, you can stand up, I will not force him."

The strong man No. 100 was stunned, but he didn't expect Ye Lan to come up and speak and directly raise the doubts in their hearts, and said so strongly that if they didn't want to accept her, they would leave by themselves, everyone forgot about each other, and they all stood still, Ye Lan was right, as long as someone could afford to pay for it, no matter how old she was, she was the boss.

"Boss, you're right, as long as you can afford the money, you're our boss, and we're here to make money, not to choose the boss."

Li took the opportunity to introduce in front of Ye Lan, "The person who spoke is called Wang Fu, the eldest in the family, usually others call him Wang Da, thirty-five years old, and the head of Wangjia Village is an uncle and nephew, and he has some status in the village. ”

Ye Lan nodded, understanding what the Li family meant, it seems that these hundred or so people have the appeal to be this king, and they can take advantage of it.

"Since you don't have the opinion to accept me as a boss, then I'm going to talk about the ugly things in front of me, if I am absolutely obedient to the employees and do things for me, I just need you to do what I ask, instead of questioning first or asking me to explain to you why I do this, disobedient, like lazy employees, I will be fired at any time, my salary is twenty dollars a day, although I invite you to come in the name of clearing the wasteland, but I am not only here to work in the wasteland, there may be harder work than the wasteland, of course, there may be easier work than the wastelandAt the end of the month, I will give you another compensation according to the work you have done this month, your work performance, or your salary, which can also be said to be a reward, do you have any opinions? ”

Are there any other incentives in addition to salary?

As soon as these words came out, the 100th strong man headed by Wang Da immediately said loudly that he had no opinion, you know, 20 yuan a day, 600 yuan a month, which is comparable to the average girl in a large family, this income is already a huge amount of money for them, and the current boss also said that at the end of the month, he will give a certain reward according to their performance, which is simply a moon cake falling from the sky.

"As long as you do things well, I won't treat you badly, I, Qiao Yelan, don't dare to say it, even if it's a pit, I will definitely not cheat the hard-earned money of the working people."

Just this sentence made a hundred strong men look at Ye Lan with emotion, although it was a child who said this, but from the mouth of a child, I heard her say that the pit will never pit the hard-earned money of the working people, and it is touching, for a while, everyone has a feeling of following this little boss and having an unlimited future.

Taking advantage of everyone's excitement, Ye Lan divided a hundred strong men into two teams, thirty strong men went to open up the wasteland, and the remaining seventy strong men went to dig the mountain, everyone brought their own tools to the ground, Ye Lan naturally didn't have to think about the tools anymore, let Li take thirty men to the wasteland, and he personally took the remaining seventy men to Qiao Mountain, this mighty team passed through the village, it was really lively, the two villages were so close, many people knew each other, and when they arrived at the village ancestral hall, the men in the ancestral hall would greet each other when they saw familiar people.

When they arrived at Qiaoshan, Ye Lan took everyone to a lime place and told everyone what they wanted to dig, and among the remaining seventy people was Wang Da, Ye Lan asked him to temporarily serve as the team leader and manage everyone, and Wang Dashuang responded.

Knowing that they were going to dig the mountain, the men of Wangjia Village knew why Li asked everyone to bring other things besides hoes, which were all prepared for digging the mountain.

These farmers who have not seen much of the world are very honest, after Ye Lan told everyone what to dig, everyone began to work, Qiao Mountain is very large, seventy people dig the mountain halfway up the mountain, and they feel like ants have no sense of existence.

After instructing everyone to pay attention to safety, Ye Lan went to the wasteland alone, seeing that dozens of people were already in full swing, and secretly counted the women who participated in the wasteland, as a few days ago, there were a total of ten women, Ye Lan opened her voice and asked the women to come over, including Jinhua, Li and others came over,

"Ye Lan, what's the matter with calling us over?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to go to the ground, there are enough people now, and you will be responsible for making the big guys eat and ensuring logistics in the future, how about it?"

"What do you call logistics, Yelan?" Jinhua looked at her suspiciously, asking everyone's doubts.

Accidentally said modern language, Ye Lan explained with a smile, "The main thing is to be responsible for their food, and there are some miscellaneous things, anyway, you can do whatever I ask you to do, and the salary is still the same, but you don't need to go down to the ground or dig the mountain." ”

"I understand, it's like that big girl, right?" Lee asked.

"Almost."

"That's fine." Cooking rice is much easier than going to the ground, and a few people agreed to come down.

Directly threw the tools into the ground, everyone followed Ye Lan's mother and daughter home, and began to prepare lunch, it was hot during the day, Ye Lan asked Li to send water to everyone at least twice a day,

"Aunt Li, these chores will trouble you."

"Ye Lan is polite." This can be regarded as putting himself in charge of these people, Li's face smiled, this is Ye Lan's affirmation of his ability.

"Aunt Jinhua, come with me."

"Ye Lan, what are you looking for?" Jin Hua followed Ye Lan to the house.

"Aunt Jinhua, this time I didn't let you be in charge of management, do you feel uncomfortable in your heart?" Ye Lan looked at Jinhua and asked, in fact, she and Qiao Zichu came into contact with the villagers of Jinxiu Village is Jinhua, this woman feels hearty, simple, and trustworthy to her, the reason why she didn't let Jinhua take care of those women is because she has other arrangements, but before she wanted to see what Jinhua thought.

"Ye Lan, what are you talking about, am I such a stingy person, in fact, I don't have any ability, the Li family is really popular, you let her do things, it's much more reassuring than letting me do things." Jin Hua said with a frank face, she knew how many catties she had, and the only thing she was better than the women in the village was to know a few words, and then learn a little bit of medicine.

"This time I didn't let Aunt Jinhua be in charge of management, because I had other plans, Aunt Jinhua, you have better conditions than the villagers, you know how to read, and you have studied medicine, although you only understand a little, but in the villages outside the northern border, your conditions are already very good, so I want Aunt Jinhua to be my assistant."

"Assistant?"

"Equivalent to a housekeeper or something."

"Well, can I?" When Jin Hua heard this, she immediately became a little excited.

"Aunt Jinhua, I said you can do it, my mother and I first came here, you took care of it in every way, if you say that I and I can trust people in this northern land, if you are second, then no one will be first."

It feels good to be trusted, Jin Hua didn't expect Ye Lan to have such a high status in her heart, and she was so moved that she couldn't speak for a while.

"I invited so many people, presumably Aunt Jinhua can see it, and my belongings will definitely not only be present in the future, so I ask Aunt Jinhua to be my housekeeper, and I also have requirements for Aunt Jinhua."

"Ye Lan, you say, as long as you say it, I will do it desperately." When a confidant died, Jin Hua suddenly had a feeling of confidant to Ye Lan.

"The village has invited Mr., Aunt Jinhua, although you know some words, but this is not enough, so when Mr. comes, in addition to sending Lan Jian to study, Aunt Jinhua you also go with you, recognize more words, read more books, enrich yourself, at the same time, Aunt Jinhua, your medical skills should not be wasted, I will buy some medical books and come back to show you, if possible, I will invite another person with better medical skills to teach you and Lan Jian medical skills, although this person is said to be born and old, sickness and death are common, terrible or sick, a good doctor is very necessary."

"I'm going to study?" Jinhua didn't expect Ye Lan to make such a strange request, she also knew a lot of words because she followed her husband's childhood sweetheart, but she didn't learn it systematically, most of them were taught to her by her husband in private, and most of the words she knew were drug names, so in fact, she was looking forward to it, but she hadn't heard of any owner who would send her housekeeper to study, if Ye Lan wanted a knowledgeable housekeeper, why didn't she just find a knowledgeable person?

Although this northern city is vast and sparsely populated, there are a lot of people in the entire northern city, and it is not impossible to find a knowledgeable person.

Regarding Jinhua's doubts, Ye Lan only used one sentence to explain, "I can't trust outsiders." ”

She can't trust outsiders, so Jinhua is her own person in her eyes.

Just because of these words, Jin Hua secretly decided that she would be loyal to Ye Lan from now on, and she must be worthy of her trust today.

In fact, Jinhua's doubts are not unreasonable, Ye Lan also thought about finding another housekeeper, but she didn't trust anyone for a while, if she found a white-eyed wolf to come in, wouldn't it harm others and herself at that time?

Jinhua has already been contacted, there is no problem with her character, and she has some foundation, Ye Lan not only thinks she is reliable, but also thinks that women in this era are too pitiful, although the women's place in this remote place is not as low as the prosperous place, but there are still some prejudices, if you can stretch out a hand to change a woman's fate, why not reach out?

Of course, Ye Lan will never admit that she has developed a bad taste.

Zhang Xiucai is a very punctual person, said three days, and on the third day he brought his old mother to the door, and learned that he was a Xiucai and a gentleman in the village, and the villagers warmly welcomed their arrival.

It's been a long time since I felt such a warm villager, Zhang Xiucai felt a little at a loss for a while, the school has not been built yet, you need to wait for two days, the village chief's house has a vacant house, first vacate it for Zhang Xiuchang's mother and son to live, and the school will also build a place for Zhang Xiuchang to live, which will definitely make him feel the enthusiasm of the villagers of Jinxiu Village.

The labor force of the No. 100 strong man is huge, and he has enough energy to work the No. 100 man, and the results are amazing, the No. 70 man dug limestone for a day, and the next day Ye Lan divided a part of the people, let them smash the limestone, and then refine the secondary powder, and then let people carry it to the corn field, and dry the lime powder on the corn field.

"What is this doing?"

Many people are puzzled by Ye Lan's practice, grinding stones into powder, and then drying what they do on the cornfield, no one has ever done this like Ye Lan.

"This stone is not an ordinary stone, it is called limestone, it is called lime powder after grinding into powder, don't underestimate this, it has a sterilization and precipitation effect, and it will play a very important role in future life." Ye Lan roughly explained,

"I'm going to use it to kill cornfield bugs, you just have to do what I say."

"I've been planting for so many years, and I've never heard that grinding stones into powder can kill insects." Wang Da still couldn't understand Ye Lan's method, he seemed to be completely foolish.

"Just do what I say." Ye Lan didn't want to explain more, anyway, it was good to speak with facts, there were no ready-made pesticides, and she couldn't match anything, so she could only use this lime powder as a primitive insecticide, hoping it would be effective.

It's not just that Wang Da and other 100 people can't understand Ye Lan's method, but the villagers of Jinxiu Village are puzzled after knowing what Ye Lan did, but Ye Lan spends money to ask everyone to do things, and everyone does things honestly, they haven't forgotten what Ye Lan said on the first day of work, no matter what kind of arrangements she makes, everyone just needs to listen to her, she doesn't need anyone to question her decision.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was grinding lime powder and sprinkling corn, Ye Lan contacted the village chief again, and people in this era did not know that human urine and feces have a lot of nutrients in them, which are used to enrich the land raw materials, and after the poop in everyone's house is full, they are all picked to a fixed place to be poured out.

On the side of the mountain behind the village, there is a big dung pit, it is said that the ancestors left it, after the villagers are full of dung pit at home, they will use the toilet to pick it up and pour it into the big dung pit, so many years have passed, plus the impact of rain, the big dung pit has long been full, according to custom, the village chief is ready to form a person to fill in the big dung pit, and then build a dung pit for the convenience of the villagers.

Such a large dung pit can smell before you get close, and it is no wonder that it is so far away from the village and has to be in a leeward place, if it is close, I don't know what it will smell like.

Ye Lan just made such a big contribution to the village, and only told the village chief that he needed poop in the big dung pit, and the village chief waved his hand without saying a word, and let Ye Lan use it casually, if Ye Lan could use it well, he wished that Ye Lan would use it all, so that the fecal problem in the village was solved.

It took only three days to build the ancestral hall and the school, which shows that when the villagers are ready to do something, their strength is strong.

This is a great joy for the whole village, the village chief went to the city to buy some firecrackers and came back to celebrate, after letting go, Zhang Xiucai moved into the house next to the school with his mother, and then set a time, and the next day began to officially start classes.

Because the money for Xiucai comes from the village, and the children don't have to spend money to go to school, so there are children in the family who are sent to the school regardless of their size, and even send the children to school outside The Li couple is thinking about whether to take the children back.
