The contract for the lease of farmland was signed, and Xu Xiaoxiao handed over the signed contract to Liu Qiaoer for safekeeping, but the personnel for planting cotton had not yet been arranged.

At present, there are more than 100 acres of farmland from Wang Li's orthodox calculation, and at least 20 people are needed to take care of it.

The most important thing is that when the cotton is harvested, the harvest of one mu of cotton is about more than 500 kilograms, and there are more than 50,000 kilograms of cotton in more than 100 acres.

The picked seed cotton needs to be seeded, and after the seeds are removed, it becomes lint, and finally made into a net cover.

Chu Qing looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's flustered appearance and asked curiously and gently, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses from her trance, she shook her head with a smile, "I'm just thinking about how to arrange the personnel who take care of more than 100 acres of farmland." ”

The men and women who were able to work in Liujia Village went to take care of the farmland where they planted agricultural crops, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled and unsuitable for working in the fields.

Wang Li pursed his lower lip and hesitated whether to propose to let his villagers apply, but if so, wouldn't he want to earn two shares of the little girl's money, and he was not good for such unrighteous things in the presence of the prince.

Chu Qing also had this idea, after all, more than 100 acres is not a small amount, and the recruits must be agricultural personnel who do farm work all year round, and ordinary people are not competent.

Suddenly, he looked at Wang Lizheng with an idea, "Wang Lizheng, do you have any extra people from Wangjia Village coming out?" ”

"Yes, yes, I just made a small amount of money, and I recommend the people in our village to go out, I'm afraid it's ....." Wang Lizheng looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a weak heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, "It's okay, if you have personnel, you can introduce them, the price will be calculated, and three meals will be included." ”

"Three meals?"

After hearing this, the people present could not help but exclaim in surprise, they had heard that those who had been conscripted for one meal had not heard of those who had been recruited to go to the fields and eat three meals, and now the price of grain was only high and not falling, and the money paid to the farmers in the fields after the three meals was not a small amount.

"Little girl, will this be a bit too much, I know you love face, but if you can't do it if you say it, it's not good for everyone." Wang Lizheng sighed and shook his head with a smile.

He heard that Xu Xiaoxiao had just opened a tavern, and such a big tavern cost a lot, plus the establishment of a chamber of commerce had hollowed out the old bottom, she was so ignorant of the importance of saving face, but she was afraid that everyone would be embarrassed by then.

Liu Lizheng couldn't get used to Wang Lizheng's look of looking down on people, he laughed and said, "Wang Lizheng, you don't have to worry about grain, the crops we planted had a bumper harvest yesterday, and hundreds of catties of crops were harvested, and the unharvested ones have not been counted, and other fruits and vegetables are also a bumper harvest, and there are more than enough people in your Wangjia Village to support you, not to mention dozens of people who go to the fields." ”

"Yes, I still have several accounts here that are not settled for Xiaoxiao, and they are worth thousands of taels, which is enough to pay off the salary." Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and picked up Liu Lizheng's words.

Wang Lizheng knew that he was at a loss, so he blushed and picked up the tea to cover up the embarrassment.

Xu Xiaoxiao, as the owner of the cave, naturally didn't want everyone to make the atmosphere too serious, she raised her wine glass with a smile and toasted one by one.

After a round, everyone was slightly drunk, and even Liu Dahua, who didn't like to drink, was swaying with a red face.

Only Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao and others are still conscious.

After drinking the wine, Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly looked worried, "Hey, I don't know when the war will end." ”

Shopkeeper Huang also had a feeling, "Since the war, the people have not been able to make a living, and Xin'an City, which is thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, has also suffered from it, and the shops on Chang'an Street have closed one after another.

Nowadays, there are very few shops that can still keep open, materials are scarce, and the lives of the people are becoming more and more difficult. ”

Chu Qing listened to the speeches of the two of them, and felt very uncomfortable, as the city lord of Xin'an City and the prince of the country, not only could he not go to the battlefield to repel the Turks, but he could also keep his people away from the war.

He drank the wine in one gulp, clenched his palms, and his eyebrows were stained with a trace of sadness.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at it embarrassedly, the originally active atmosphere instantly fell into a sad mood, she looked at Chu Qing without knowing what to do, but even Chu Qing fell into a mood of self-blame.

She sighed helplessly, and had to speak again, "Actually, it's not that it can't be solved." ”

She really didn't want to give any more opinions.

After hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, the originally sad people instantly ignited hope on their faces, and they all looked at her.

Xu Xiaoxiao continued to sigh and said with a flat mouth, "We can replan the entire Chang'an Avenue." ”

She waved her hand and motioned for Liu Qiaoer to hand over the rice paper.

Liu Qiao'er was stunned, then got up in a trance and ran to the room, and after a while, she trotted to the yard with rice paper in her hand.

Xu Xiaoxiao took the rice paper and held the wolf's hair, and outlined what he saw on Chang'an Street, "How many shops are there on Chang'an Street?" How many stores are there? ”

Shopkeeper Huang thought for a moment, "If you count from Chang'an Avenue alone, there are more than 60 of them, and there are only about 20 stores that are still open.

"That is, more than half of the stores are closed, so what are the remaining stores?" After Xu Xiaoxiao drew a simplified version of Chang'an Street, he began to classify the shops that opened the store.

"Rice grain shop, pawnshop, Gimpo, jewelry shop, soju shop, dim sum shop, medicine shop, and my tavern and yours." The shopkeeper Huang pinched his fingers and said slowly.

Xu Xiaoxiao wrote all these types of shops on the drawings, and everyone gathered around her to watch, the more they looked, the more incomprehensible they became, and they all glanced at each other, and no one knew the meaning.

After she finished drawing, she began to point to the situation that Chang'an Avenue was still open to explain one by one.

"Take Chang'an Street as a column, now Chang'an Street is obviously a lack of food and clothing for the people, only the rice and grain shops belong to eating, the rest are dispensable, there are no ready-to-wear shops, meat shops, vegetable shops, melon and fruit shops, and there are no shops for grain, oil, sauce and vinegar.

In this way, there is no shopping street in the whole street, and everyone can't buy what they want to use here, and the popularity is relatively weak, and the shops that are still struggling to support themselves will naturally not be able to open.

In fact, even if the war is raging, the lives of the people in the city can still continue, but there are no materials for them to buy, from the last time I watched the drama, Wang Lizheng invited the whole village to watch Cheng Qing's drama.

From this, we only need to make up for the equipment on the street to solve the problem of the closure of shops one after another. ”

When the words fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and the air instantly froze, and it seemed that the breathing on the scene was a little slower.

The shopkeeper Huang opened his mouth like waking up from a dream and nodded repeatedly, "Understood, is it to drive everyone to open a store?" ”

"But it's still a problem, isn't it?" Shopkeeper Zhao was still puzzled.

Xu Xiaoxiao hooked the corners of her mouth, she looked at Liu Lizheng with a smile, "Didn't we say that we had a bumper harvest?" Our people can't finish eating, so we might as well supply everyone. ”

"You mean to let people who want to open a little bit come to you to buy goods?" Shopkeeper Huang said with a shocked face.

"Well, grain, oil, sauce and vinegar can be made by hand, these are not difficult, we in Liujia Village can supply them to the people who want to open a store, and we can also spread the news so that residents in nearby towns can also come to buy essential goods." Xu Xiaoxiao put the wolf down and smiled meaningfully.

Chu Qing held back a smile against her lips, if she wants to say that the old treacherous and cunning is not a small one, she can't think of this method of circulating goods.

Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao hung their heads in a daze, and Liu Lizheng and Wang Lizheng looked around in confusion.

At this time, Cheng Qing took the members of the troupe into the courtyard.

"Tiny." Cheng Qing smiled and came to Xu Xiaoxiao's side.

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly brought out the barbecue left for Cheng Qing, "Where did you go?" Can't find it? ”

"We're going to rehearse." Cheng Qing took the plate and said with a smile.

Liu Qiao'er, Liu Dahua and Aunt Li hurriedly got up and cleaned up the tables and chairs, and the members of the troupe sat down obediently.

Cheng Qingye's skewers were distributed to the rest of the members, Xu Xiaoxiao stood behind everyone and thought, and suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and a perfect plan came to mind.

"With that, I know how to attract more people to Chang'an Avenue to spend." Xu Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Qiaoer shook her head helplessly, every time she paid a little new attention, she was always affected.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the crowd, "The shopkeeper Huang will post it tomorrow, let the people who are interested in opening a store contact you, and then let them come to Liujia Village to buy goods after it is confirmed, I am responsible for publicity, Lord Wang, it is still the same, I still have to trouble you to publicize, the propaganda content is the opening of Qiao'anju Tavern, and the Qianhong Opera Troupe is free to watch." ”
