Chapter 44: Marriage
Although Yang Xue had already thought about it in her heart, she still discussed it with Li Bokang again before deciding the matter.
The day after it was settled, she let people let out the wind again.
This time, she recruited good people quickly, and she only recruited fifty people this time.
Although it is a barren mountain, its area is not large, about thirty or forty acres.
Although the difficulty of cleaning up is greater than that of the wasteland by the Qingyang River, these people may have a little less manpower, but the progress on the Qingyang River side is still very fast, and people can be pulled over from that side when the time comes, presumably the speed will be very fast at that time.
The conditions for this recruitment are the same as those for their previous recruitment, 30 wen a day, two meals, and one meat for two days.
This time, she also asked Laixing to follow Shumo to manage the workers on the wasteland.
Laixing has also been coming to their house for several years, and she has also seen it over the years, Laixing is a clever person, he is honest, and he is loyal to their family.
Therefore, she asked Laixing to follow Shumo, who has been trained by Li Bokang for so many years, although he is not very old, he is already very good.
Therefore, she is going to slowly cultivate Laixing, otherwise everything will be handed over to Shumo, and Shumo will not be busy.
As for Laishu, she also saw that she was honest but not clever enough, and although she was usable, she was useless.
However, his driving skills are good, and staying at home or being a coachman is a good choice.
There were only a few people in the family, and now she basically thought about what they should do in the future.
Speaking of which, the age of the descendants of their family is not young, and they should all be married or kissed, but there is no one in the family, and it is not easy to find someone for them.
In this way, their affairs can only be delayed like this.
However, since she had already thought about it, she didn't want to bother too much about it, so let them bother themselves.
So, she told them about it, and asked them to come and tell her if they fell in love with someone, and they themselves were willing, and she would see that if there was no accident, she would make them the master and let them get married.
When the time comes, she will give them some dowry or dowry, which is a reward they pay for their family.
Speaking of which, the descendants of the family are also a little anxious about their own marriage, their youngest Chunyue is seventeen years old this year, and the oldest tree is already thirty-two, and they are all older men and women left over for the people here.
When the family heard her say this, their hearts were relieved for a while, but then their hearts rose again.
They are now slaves, and it is not so easy to find a husband or a wife, and if the other party is also a slave, it is even easier to say.
However, there are only so many people in their family, and none of them are of the same age.
And they can't go to other people's families, and the wives and masters of the family may not agree at that time, and those who are good may not be able to take a fancy to them.
So, in fact, it is still a bit troublesome for them to find their other half.
But at the same time, they were very grateful to Yang Xue in their hearts, because she said that she would reward them with this thing or money and give them a dowry or dowry.
They still know a little about her, and since she told them so, she will definitely give them nothing less when the time comes.
Therefore, they are still a little lucky in their hearts, glad that they can meet such a good master.
Because Yang Xue took the initiative to mention this matter herself, the thoughts of the people in the family were a little fluctuating.
However, within two days they were calm again, after all, each of them began to get busy during this time.
Because the wasteland by the Qingyang River was also planted a long time ago, and the terrain was flat, the speed of clearing the wasteland was very fast.
It has only been completely opened in less than five days, and they have also piled up the grass and trees out of the wasteland in an orderly manner, and it looks very neat from a distance.
After they finished driving, Yang Xue and Li Bokang went to see it in person, and they were very satisfied after seeing it.
Therefore, on the last day's salary, she let Shumo no one pay more than ten cents, and she also got the sincere gratitude of those workers.
This time, after the wasteland by the Qingyang River was cleared, she pulled people to the barren mountain to open up the wasteland, taking advantage of the fact that there were still more people.
It is said that the progress on the barren mountain side is not as fast as the progress by the Qingyang River, and it is not that those people are lazy, but because the terrain over there is relatively complicated, there are relatively more stones and trees, and it is a gentle slope, so the speed is slower.
However, as soon as the manpower on this side passed, the speed increased with a visible efficiency.
Moreover, because there are so many people, when you look at it from a distance, it looks like ants are climbing up, and then you look behind them, it is like a locust plague transiting, bare.
This time, because the people on this side of the Qingyang River also passed, it didn't take two days for the barren mountain to be opened.
Similarly, this time she also gave an extra ten cents to each of the people on the other side of the barren mountain, and then let them go back.
This time, she also found someone else to cook for these workers.
After a few days, seeing that the wild grass that bloomed in those fields was almost dry, she asked Laixinglai Tree and Yang Qi and Zhang Dashan, who managed their land, to burn all the wild grass by the Qingyang River and the barren mountains.
This time they burned the land in about the same time as they had spent clearing the land before, because there was too much land, there were few people, and they had to watch the direction of the wind, and at the same time, they could not burn on a windy day, and they had to take care not to cause a fire, so they took more time.
By the time these barren mountains and wastelands were cleaned up, nearly a month had passed.
The barren mountains and wasteland have been cleaned up, and Yang Xue began to discuss with Li Bokang again how to build the vermicelli factory, and if so, what kind of construction it will become.
As for the issue of opening a factory, they have been thinking about it for a long time and have prepared a lot, but they have not yet thought about how to repair the factory.
None of them had any experience in this area, and they couldn't find anyone to ask, and there was no such explanation in the book, so they were stumped for a while.
Finally, they deliberated for several days and finally drew the general structure of the vermicelli factory.
They were going to make it simpler, so they built five large houses, with a tall courtyard on the outside and the house on the inside.
It was said to be a big house, but it was really a big house, and they were going to build a house as big as five ordinary houses, and it would take two or three acres of land to get these five rooms down.
Not to mention the area enclosed by the outer wall, this time they are going to spend five acres of land to build a factory.
As for the rest of the land, we will decide what to use it for later.
At this point, they drew the general structure, and then they had to find someone to repair the house.
