Chapter Eighty-Eight: Finding the Ledger

Now that he had this idea, Qi Ling decided to start working on it.

She first went to the mountain and called a group of flower planters, and asked their team leader to take them to put aside the work on the mountain first, and come to the bottom of the mountain to plant a few acres in the field first.

The division of labor in the group that Qi Ling came up with at the beginning was very ingenious, and she often rewarded those who overdid their work.

Now the workers on the mountain are divided into groups, and they are all working hard, and they all want their groups to be rewarded by Qi Ling.

The group that was ordered by Qi Ling was very happy to know that they were going to plant new flowers.

can be picked by Qi Ling, which means that they are trusted, otherwise why wouldn't Qi Ling let the other group go.

When they came to the bottom of the mountain, they went to the nearby river to fetch water, and prepared to water the ground thoroughly before they could plant flowers, because then the seeds would germinate faster.

Taking advantage of this moment, Qi Ling hurried home to get the flower seeds.

Qi Ling has never planted land in modern times, let alone planted flowers, not to mention that Qi Ling doesn't know what these kinds of flowers are except for sunflowers.

After handing out the flower seeds to the crowd, she simply asked them to start planting flowers as usual.

Anyway, if the weather temperature and moisture are right, some will definitely grow, and in the worst case, these seeds will not be wiped out.

After the arrangements were made, Qi Ling went to the mountain to inspect it again, and now the earliest flower seeds planted on the mountain have sprouted.

The small sprouts that had just sprouted, the color was light green, like a touch of unexpected tenderness in this spring, which made Qi Ling look at it, and his mood was also happy.

Just as she was admiring the spring on the mountain and walking forward, she unconsciously came to the place where Tian Lazi was in charge.

Several of Gu Jinfeng's once arrogant and domineering "elders" are now in full swing carrying a lot of dung.

Seeing Qi Ling, they were still a little restrained, but they just said hello tentatively, until they saw that Qi Ling's attitude towards them was normal, and then they became bold.

Qi Ling saw Tian Lazi standing on the side, she had a cloth towel wrapped around her head, although she was doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, her body was still very clean, and she knew at a glance that she was a very capable little daughter-in-law.

Qi Ling has always felt that it is not a long-term solution to let Peach Blossom and her collect the dried flowers these days, after all, the two of them have other things to do, but they can't find a suitable person to take over for a while.

The person who harvested the dried flowers had to come into contact with so many villagers, and even had to talk about the price, first of all, he must be a person who could talk back, and he should be bolder.

There are not many people around Qi Ling who are satisfied with this, and most of the villagers are not good at words.

Just like Aunt Zhao often said about Uncle Zhao, three sticks can't make a stuffy fart, not to mention how honest it is.

What's more, Qi Ling also needs this person to be able to keep accounts, which requires him to be able to write, so that there are fewer people who meet the requirements, after all, there are few literate people in the entire Gujia Village.

When Qi Ling saw Tian Lazi at this time, he felt that she was very suitable, and even these "elders" were all cleaned up and obedient, which was enough to prove that she was a capable person.

And she doesn't spare people at all with her mouth, otherwise how could a little daughter-in-law be called spicy by the whole village.

However, Qi Ling likes her character, and feels that it is very reassuring to deal with such a person, and if she goes straight, there will be nothing wrong.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Tian, can you be literate?"

Tian Lazi didn't know why Qi Ling would ask such a question, but he just shook his head honestly.

Before she got married, her mother's family was almost unable to open the pot, let alone have the leisure to read and write, and eating became a problem.

Seeing that she was illiterate, Qi Ling was a little disappointed, but who knew that Tian Lazi said another sentence immediately.

"Although I can't read, my family doesn't want to say that I can read, and I plan to keep accounts."

The expression on her face was very smug when she spoke, and she was very proud of this thing, after all, planning to coil here is a relatively rare skill.

"Brother Gu still plans to make accounts?"

When Qi Ling heard this, he was very surprised, and his mouth opened wide.

She had seen the one in Tian Lazi's family before, named Gu Shan, who was a little chubby, not tall, and did not wear a long shirt on weekdays, but wore short brown like the men who farmed in the village.

It's no different from ordinary villagers at all, and it doesn't seem to be literate at all.

"That's not it, he used to be a deputy shopkeeper in a shop in the city, although he was not a big shopkeeper, but he could do anything, no worse than others, but who knew that the store was closed a few days ago, and he couldn't find a place to recruit a shopkeeper for a while, so he had to stay at home for a while."

Tian Lazi saw that Qi Ling was very interested in this matter, so he explained it to her.

Have you ever been a shopkeeper?

Qi Ling felt that this was simply too satisfying for his own requirements, and when the time came, it would be too suitable for their husband and wife to weigh the pounds and keep the accounts.

"Sister Tian, I want to ask you and Brother Gu to help me collect dry flowers, your salary is the same as now, Brother Gu's ......"

Qi Ling felt that it was a little difficult to arrange Gu Shan's salary, and it was rare to find a person in the village who could settle accounts, so she naturally wanted to keep him.

In addition to collecting dry flowers, he also handed over all kinds of matters such as settling wages and settling accounts to him, and he was also relaxed.

Thinking like this, Qi Ling said a price very generously.

"Brother Gu, I give him three taels of silver every month, and I will hire him to be my account room, help me be responsible for accounting and paying wages, if you do a good job, this salary will rise again, do you think it will work?"

Hearing Qi Ling's words, Tian Lazi felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

Three taels of silver? That's a great treatment, isn't it?

Because Gu Shan said that he was a deputy shopkeeper, but in fact, he didn't have any experience, if he really went to the city to be a shopkeeper, he wouldn't give such a high salary, and Qi Ling said that it would rise again.

Tian Lazi nodded hurriedly, his face full of joy.

"Why not, this is great!"

She felt that if she didn't quickly agree to this kind of pie falling from the sky, she would be a fool.

Seeing that she agreed, this problem in Qi Ling's heart could finally be solved, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he could finally save some worry in the future.

At this time, Aunt Gu heard the conversation between the two of them and asked cautiously.

"Miss Qi Ling, if Tian Lazi leaves, then who will take us to work in the future?"
