Chapter 247: Assignment

Zhang Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly: "I only prepared the farm tools used by our own slaves, but I forgot to borrow them, and these slaves don't have farm tools to use." ”

"Haha! It's okay, there are a lot of so many hoes, we still have three hoes at home, and your grandfather's family also has two unused hoes, which will be used later, your uncle's family because your two cousins are helping to work in our house, and his family also has two idle hoes, and Yuan Lei will go back and bring those hoes later."

By the way, there are so many slaves, I don't think we can put so many slaves in the pancake shed, so we can divide some people, and then go to the mountains to cut some wood and come back, and build another shed next to the pancake shed, otherwise there will be many open-air accommodation for these slaves tonight. ”

Father Zhang saw that Zhang Xiaoxue had taken out a lot of hoes, so he opened his mouth and said, while he remembered that there were so many slaves, and they couldn't be settled? After thinking about it for a while, he asked some of the slaves to go to the mountains to cut down some trees and come back, and then build a shed again.

After finishing speaking, Zhang's father looked at the three strange-looking iron plows that Zhang Xiaoxue took out.

"Xue'er, are these three iron plows a new style from the county town? They look really weird, but looking at the so many blades on this iron plow, I think it should be much better than the iron plough we used before. ”

"Hee-hee, I designed this iron plow, and I made a fortune for it, so these hoes and iron ploughs actually didn't cost a penny, and the master in the blacksmith shop asked me for a lot of silver. Zhang Xiaoxue said to her family with a smile, looking like she was begging for praise.

"Xue'er is just smart, I have never seen you touch farm work, and you still have this talent, I really thank you master, for teaching my daughter so well. Father Zhang said happily.

Well, this can also be related to her master, well, Zhang Xiaoxue can't refute it, this iron plough is indeed drawn by Zhang Xiaoxue in modern times, after seeing the iron pear used in modern times, according to the gourd painting scoop.

There were still two cattle in the warehouse of the ranch that had not been taken out, and since the iron pear had been taken out, Zhang Xiaoxue saw that there were no outsiders here except for his own family, so he simply took out the two cattle in the warehouse with a wave of his hand.

"Ahh ”

Zhang Xiaoxue took out the scalper, and Zhang's father walked to the cattle, only to see that the newly taken out cattle was almost exactly the same as his own cattle.

"Well, this is the points I earned from taking care of my master's ranch, which I exchanged for some chickens, ducks, and a few lambs. ”

Anyway, the cattle have been taken out, and Zhang Xiaoxue originally wanted to buy more chickens, ducks, and sheep in the ranch store to raise, so she said it all at once.

"Xue'er, don't be too tired, there is a pancake business in the family now, our family's life is a lot better, don't work too hard, pay more attention to rest." ”

Zhang's mother heard that so many things were earned by her daughter's work, and she felt a little sorry that her daughter was tired, so she told her daughter to pay attention to her body and not to be too tired.

"Yes, Xue'er is still physically important, don't be too tired. ”

"If Xue'er is too tired to take care of your master's farm and pasture, let's tell your master not to do it, we are still young now, and we will help when we are older, I think your master will definitely agree." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not tired at all, I told you, I don't have to do it myself, I just move my fingers, it's really very easy, father, mother, second brother, you can rest assured, I won't be tired." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue's heart was very hot for her family's concern for her, and she quickly told her family that she would not be tired at all.

"Oh, that's good. ”

"Then let's quickly arrange these slaves to work, don't waste time, Dad is most familiar with farm work, or Dad will arrange it."

Oh, by the way, Dad, all forty slaves in our family have crafts, and when I chose slaves, I specially selected some slaves who knew how to trade.

Among the male slaves were blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, and scornsmiths, and a slave who could dye cloth, and the others could farm and build houses.

In addition, I chose five female slaves, who were also skilled in cooking, garment making and embroidery, and spinning and weaving. Zhang Xiaoxue introduced the 40 slaves she had selected to her family.

The family was very surprised when they heard Zhang Xiaoxue's introduction, Xue'er is so smart, this was all thought of by her, slaves with craftsmanship can be used in the countryside, and many things don't need to be bought, and they can let slaves produce.

In the end, Zhang's father asked five female slaves to go home with Zhang's mother, and asked Zhang's mother to teach them to spread pancakes first, and five more people spread pancakes, and also five more productions.

He picked out a few slaves who could work as carpenters, added five more slaves, and followed Yuan Lei to the mountains to cut wood, and when he came back, he could build a wooden shed.

There are three iron ploughs, because another ox of his own family was driven to the town by Yuan Guang to buy grain, so he can only use these two oxen to pull the plough first, and arrange a slave to support the plough, and the outermost iron plough is pulled by two slaves, and there is still a slave holding the plough behind.

The remaining slaves, who had no tools to use, began to pull the weeds, and if there were hoes to use, they began to reclaim the wasteland with a hoe.

Seeing that Zhang's father arranged a circle in an orderly manner, Zhang Xiaoxue felt that her father was quite a leader, anyway, there was nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoxue, and now that the sun was starting to poison, Zhang's mother asked Zhang Xiaoxue to go home with her and let Zhang Xiaoxue go back to the house to rest.

Originally, Zhang Xiaoxue planned to stay on the wasteland here for a while to watch them work, but since Zhang's mother asked her to go home to rest, Zhang Xiaoxue did not object, and she really couldn't help here, so she became a good girl.

When I got home, I saw that the house was still in full swing, the eldest aunt and cousin were also helping at home, and when they saw Zhang Xiaoxue coming home, of course, they greeted her with a smile.

"I haven't seen Xue'er for a few days, but I've become beautiful again, this outfit is better than all the ladies in the county, I'm tired all the way, right? ”
